Genshin Impact : Eerie Teyvat-Chapter 146: Ch : So fast, Yelan

"Oh? Are you talking about me?"

In response to Chongyun's question, Ningguang smiled faintly and replied.

"Since Su Yuan has already told me that the condition for my eerie transformation is the destruction of my precious antique collectibles..."

"Then, from the moment I learned that, in my eyes, all of my treasures have become nothing more than trash that can be discarded at any time..."

"And as it turns out, I was right."

Hearing Ningguang's words, Su Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that Ningguang's eerie transformation condition isn't based on objective reality, but, like Kirara's, is influenced by her own subjective awareness...

"But Ningguang, even so, you can't let your guard down..."

Su Yuan spoke seriously:

"After all, I did mention before—every person might have more than one condition for eerie transformation."

"Let's think about that later. For now, we need to focus on how to deal with the eerified Xingqiu," Yelan said.

"I used to yearn for punishing evil and promoting good, for walking the path of chivalry..."

The 'Xingqiu' looked at the group and slowly spoke:

"But now, I think all of that is meaningless..."

"All this talk of chivalry, righteousness, and morality—it's nothing but a shackle that binds people..."

"Only by acting on your desires, taking revenge as you please, living freely and unrestrained—that is the true way of the world!!!"

"So, Yelan—aside from you, everyone else must die!"

"Let's become the freest, most untethered beings in this world together!!!"

Everyone listened to "Xingqiu's" mad ravings and looked at his deranged appearance.

They more or less understood how he acted after falling into eerie transformation...

"Xingqiu's" personality had completely changed.

He had lost his original heart of chivalry and become a vile villain guilty of every possible crime...

And yet, the one who committed the unchivalrous act—Yelan—was the only one he allowed to live, while everyone else had to be eliminated...

Su Yuan suddenly had an idea.

Since Ningguang would no longer fall into eerie transformation from losing her antique treasures, then if Yelan were to take that antique teacup she had snatched earlier and return it to that shop owner, Tai, with a sincere apology...

In that case, if the unchivalrous deed was made right again, would Xingqiu then automatically snap out of his eerie state?

"Yelan, we'll hold Xingqiu off here. You go return that antique teacup to Tai..."

Su Yuan turned his head slightly and quietly said to Yelan.

And Yelan, being sharp, immediately understood what Su Yuan was aiming at.

She simply replied, "Got it."

Then, Yelan began her performance.

"Hahaha, Brother Xingqiu, I think you're absolutely right!"

"Life is all about living in the moment and enjoying it to the fullest!"

"Xingqiu" could sense that Yelan held no killing intent.

Seeing that she agreed with him, he was quite pleased and responded:

"That's right! Why should we be some kind of righteous hero, helping the weak?"

"The weak should just be eliminated!"

"We only need to focus on achieving greatness for ourselves!"

As Yelan spoke, she casually picked up the antique teacup and said:

"Ningguang, you don't deserve to own something this valuable. It belongs to me now!"

"Exactly! If we want something, we just take it—no need to care about anyone else!"

"Xingqiu" once again praised Yelan's performance.

"Well then, Xingqiu, I'll leave this place to you. I'm stepping out for a bit of fresh air..."

As she said that, Yelan naturally walked out the door, and "Xingqiu" didn't stop her at all...

Su Yuan knew—the real battle was about to begin.

Chongyun's eerie transformation was still on cooldown—there was no relying on him to deal with "Xingqiu"...

And it had taken their group over ten minutes to get from that shop to the Jade Chamber just now...

Even if Yelan was extremely fast, on her own it would probably still take her three to five minutes to get there...

Which meant that Su Yuan and the others had to hold out against the eerie-transformed "Xingqiu" for at least three to five minutes...

Su Yuan suddenly remembered—wasn't Xingqiu really into reading?

If he told him some martial arts stories from his original world, maybe he could stall for time?

No, that wouldn't work.

Xingqiu's personality had changed drastically due to the eerie corruption.

Martial arts stories wouldn't appeal to him anymore...

He should go for crime novels or stories with villains instead...

"Xingqiu, I actually have a few stories I think you'd really like. How about I tell you one?"

Su Yuan looked toward Xingqiu and gave it a try.

"Heh... I'm not interested in anything you have to say."

Faced with Su Yuan's words, "Xingqiu" responded with nothing more than a cold sneer.

Su Yuan understood—if stalling wouldn't work, then they had no choice but to fight!

His hands instantly burst forth with Cryo and Hydro elemental energy, aiming to freeze Xingqiu on the spot!

But due to the distance, the elemental spray was a bit too slow—Xingqiu easily dodged it...

"I only want to kill all of you now, and then reunite with Yelan! Together, we'll become the most free, the most unrestrained people in this entire world!"

"Xingqiu" spoke as he slowly drew the sword at his side.

In an instant, several curtains of pitch-black, blood-red sword rain materialized around him!

Gripping the long sword now wrapped in a sinister aura of eerie power, "Xingqiu" gently slashed in Su Yuan's direction—and behind him, countless crimson phantom swords appeared, raining down on Su Yuan and the others!

Ningguang quickly channeled her elemental power to erect her Jade Screen in defense!

But just as expected, elemental energy was completely useless against eerie power.

The Jade Screen shattered in an instant!

The group struggled to dodge the relentless, dense rain of blades from "Xingqiu."

They could only keep evading, unable to fight back at all...

All they could do was try to avoid fatal strikes, but there was no way to escape unharmed.

Each of them was soon bloodied and wounded...

They tried retreating slowly, hoping to use the terrain to reduce incoming damage—but "Xingqiu" remained in pursuit, giving them no room to breathe...

And it seemed like "Xingqiu" wasn't even going all out—he was simply watching them, enjoying the panic and fear painted on their faces...

"...Tch, whatever. I'm bored now."

"You all slither around like eels and vermin, so pathetic..."

"Xingqiu" said coldly as the eerie power around him suddenly erupted in full force!

The next moment, Su Yuan, Ningguang, and Chongyun all felt their bodies being forcefully restrained—they couldn't move at all...

Su Yuan realized what was happening: "Xingqiu" was using that same simple and brutal move again—suppressing his opponents' movements with eerie power!

And with that, facing Xingqiu's rain of swords, there was no way for them to dodge anymore!

"...Time to send you all on your way."

Watching the blood-red sword rain closing in on him, Su Yuan couldn't help but feel a little emotional...

Was it going to end here again?

But just as the sword rain was about to strike—

It all vanished in an instant.

The eerie power emanating from Xingqiu disappeared entirely as well.

Xingqiu clutched his head, looking around at the wrecked Jade Chamber and the wounded, bloodied group.

He opened his mouth and said:

"...I'm really sorry. This was all my fault..."

"It's alright, Xingqiu. What matters is that you're back,"

Ningguang stood up, brushed the dust from her clothes, and wiped the blood from her body as she spoke gently.

Su Yuan, however, was utterly shocked—did Yelan succeed?

Did she actually manage to return the antique teacup that quickly?

He had estimated three to five minutes, thinking he was already overestimating Yelan's speed...

But barely even a minute had passed...

Just how fast was Yelan? How did she pull it off?
