Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 138: Ch : Catch someone off guard

Su Yuan's top priority right now was to quickly find Baizhu and Changsheng...

Although Xingqiu and Ningguang had also been corrupted and controlled by the eerie power, they didn't currently show any impulse to harm others.

But Changsheng was different.

Keqing's situation had already proven that Changsheng was likely transferring Baizhu's pain and illness onto others—and was even wantonly extracting their vitality to sustain Baizhu...

If they didn't stop Changsheng soon, there would undoubtedly be casualties!

In fact, it was very likely that people had already been harmed!

So, after Yelan brought in the Millelith and helped temporarily stabilize Keqing, the group rushed toward Bubu Pharmacy.

But upon arriving at the pharmacy's entrance, they found it already surrounded by a crowd.

Some people were even holding banners and portraits of the deceased, shouting angrily and denouncing Baizhu as an incompetent doctor...

Su Yuan knew that what he feared had come to pass...

Soon after, the group had a brief conversation with A-Gui, the apothecary who had stayed behind at Bubu Pharmacy, and learned that Baizhu and Changsheng had gone to Chenxiang's residence.

Without delay, they turned and headed straight there.

"Yelan, Chongyun," Su Yuan said, turning to them solemnly, "if we really end up having to fight an Eerie Changsheng, follow the plan I laid out earlier!"

Su Yuan reiterated his warning once more, and both Yelan and Chongyun nodded firmly in response.

Then, the group arrived at the entrance of Chenxiang's courtyard—just in time to witness "Changsheng," radiating eerie energy all over, tightly wrapping herself around Baizhu's neck...

"Eerie creature! Prepare to die!"

The instant he saw the eerie-possessed Changsheng, a surge of eerie power erupted from Chongyun's body as well.

He entered the eerie state, drew his greatsword, and charged forward!

"Baizhu... it seems someone's come to interrupt our little heart-to-heart..."

"Changsheng" glanced at Baizhu, then at Chongyun, speaking in a slow, almost relaxed tone.

The next second, "Changsheng" turned her head and locked eyes with the rapidly approaching Chongyun.

Her gaze was pitch-black and blood-red—ominous and twisted—and suddenly, Chongyun's movements slowed down drastically...

"How does it feel? Aging, worn-out joints making it hard to move, huh?"

However, before "Changsheng" could finish her smug remark, Su Yuan and Yelan sprang into action at the same time, swiftly advancing!

Yelan turned into a streak of blue light, racing ahead of Su Yuan, speeding straight toward "Changsheng"...

But "Changsheng" merely let out a cold laugh and said, "Do you think you're fast?"

She glanced at Yelan from the corner of her eye, and in that instant, Yelan felt as though all the joints in her body had rusted—becoming stiff and sluggish...

At the same time, however, Chongyun's movements suddenly sped up again...

Su Yuan caught all of this with sharp eyes.

It seemed that if "Changsheng" split her focus between two targets, her power would weaken...

Yet even in this unfavorable situation, Yelan merely gave a slight smile—as if everything was going exactly according to the plan she and Su Yuan had prepared in advance...

In the next moment, Yelan gathered all her strength, pulled a small pouch from her pocket, and flung it hard toward "Changsheng"!

Mid-flight, the pouch exploded instantly, releasing a cloud of pungent yellow powder with a strong, irritating scent!

"Changsheng" stared at the yellow powder seriously.

With a swift motion, she leapt off Baizhu's neck and escaped the affected area before the powder could touch her...

In that moment, both Yelan and Chongyun felt all the pressure that Changsheng had been exerting on them vanish completely!

Because of the sudden turn of events and the yellow powder cloud obscuring her vision, "Changsheng" didn't notice that Su Yuan—who had predicted her escape path—was already right beside her!

"Catch a snake by the head ;In order to round up bandits, one must catch their ringleader first"

As Su Yuan spoke, he seized the moment while "Changsheng" was off guard, adjusted his angle slightly, and suddenly reached out with both hands to grab the area where her heart was!

The moment "Changsheng" felt her vital point gripped by another, she froze in surprise.

Then, with a furious expression, she glared at Su Yuan.

"You think this means you've won?"

As she spoke, a surge of eerie power burst out from her body, attempting to force Su Yuan's hands off her...

But to her surprise—why was it that even Baizhu couldn't restrain her, yet this man before her could hold on so tightly without letting go?

As the eerie force scorched his skin, Su Yuan gritted his teeth and refused to release her despite the intense pain...

He had finally caught "Changsheng" off guard, caught her by surprise—how could he just let go now and let everything be for nothing?

"Hmph... Let's see how long you can hold out..."

"Changsheng" growled viciously.

She was confident that although Su Yuan had grabbed her vital point, he definitely didn't have the guts to kill her...

Su Yuan was also puzzled at this moment—why wasn't "Changsheng" using her power against him? Why hadn't she transferred some disease into him, or drained his vitality?

Could it be... she needed to be near Baizhu in order to activate those abilities?

Also... wasn't "Changsheng's" strength in her eerie form a bit too weak?

How could he manage to subdue her with his bare hands?

But Su Yuan didn't have time to think too much about it.

In the next moment, he activated his Delusion—unleashing both Cryo and Hydro elemental power from his hands.

The two elements reacted in a brilliant burst of elemental chemistry, instantly freezing "Changsheng" in place.

Su Yuan didn't dare stop channeling elemental power from his hands, afraid that even the slightest lapse might give "Changsheng" the chance to break free again...

"Eerie... damn eerie thing... go to hell!"

Freed from "Changsheng's" suppression and restraint, Chongyun once again raised his greatsword and charged at her!

"Yelan! Feed Chongyun a Jueyun Chili!" Su Yuan shouted.

Right now, "Chongyun" had only the eerie in his eyes, so he didn't even notice Yelan standing behind him with a dried Jueyun Chili in her hand.

Then, with a swift and precise move, Yelan slipped the Jueyun Chili into Chongyun's mouth...

In an instant, pure yang energy erupted from Chongyun's body, blasting away all the eerie aura around him.

His entire demeanor completely transformed!

He bounced in place, full of energy, and shouted excitedly:

"Evil spirits? Where are the evil spirits?!"

"The strongest exorcist in Liyue is here—by the power of the sun, I shall vanquish you!"

Su Yuan looked at the whole scene speechlessly.

Although he had long known that when Chongyun's pure yang body erupted, he would enter a rather peculiar state... this was just too bizarre.

In a way, wasn't this also a kind of "Eerie"?

Su Yuan glanced at "Changsheng," now frozen into a block of ice in his hands, and noticed she was slowly closing her eyes inside the ice?

No way—did she just freeze to death?

But Su Yuan quickly realized—snakes are cold-blooded animals, and when the temperature drops, they enter a state of hibernation...

So that's how it worked?

Well, whatever the case, at least the Eerie Changsheng had been temporarily suppressed...

"This scent... it's realgar powder, isn't it..."

Baizhu knelt down, picked up some of the yellow powder from the ground with his fingers, rubbed it lightly, sniffed it, and then walked over to Su Yuan.

Gazing at the frozen Changsheng, he spoke slowly:

"Most snakes actually aren't afraid of realgar. They simply dislike the pungent smell..."

"So, do any of you perhaps know something... about why Changsheng turned out this way?"
