Qiu Bai watched the two figures movements from the mountain peak and couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hand.
"Xianyun, Morax, Azhdaha, please excuse me for a moment."
"Two friends have arrived."
Qiu Bai looked at the people beside him and spoke.
His figure then disappeared from sight.
"The Electro Archon?"
"Hmm..."
Zhongli crossed his arms over his chest, gazing at where Qiu Bai had vanished and murmured softly.
On the distant beach, Qiu Bai figure instantly appeared before Venti and Raiden Ei.
"Qiu Bai, it's been quite a while."
Venti looked at Qiu Bai before him and greeted him with a smile.
"Yes, it has been a long time, Venti."
"Are you also here to participate in the Lantern Rite?"
Qiu Bai looked at Venti before him and asked with a smile.
"Last time the old man came to Mondstadt, he specifically told me about it."
"I had to come see the festivities for myself."
Venti looked at Qiu Bai before him, scratching the back of his head as he spoke.
"Qiu Bai."
Raiden Ei looked at Qiu Bai before her, speaking with a smile at the corner of her mouth.
"You came too, Ei."
"Both of you, hold onto me. Let's go to Morax."
Qiu Bai looked at Raiden Ei before him, nodding with a light smile.
Upon hearing this, Venti and Raiden Ei grabbed onto the corners of Qiu Bai clothes.
They then instantly disappeared.
When they reappeared, they were already at the mountain peak where Qiu Bai had been standing earlier.
"You've arrived."
Zhongli looked at Venti before him and spoke.
"Hehe, I'm just here to see the excitement!"
Venti waved his hand with a laugh upon hearing this.
"And Beelzebul too."
"Welcome to Liyue."
Zhongli crossed his arms over his chest, looking at Raiden Ei before him and speaking slowly.
"Thank you."
"But must this sea monster really be dealt with by mortals?"
Raiden Ei looked at Morax before her and asked with some confusion.
"Hehe..."
"We just need to watch."
Zhongli chuckled softly and shook his head upon hearing this.
At this moment, in front of Liyue Harbor, Beisht was still continuously counterattacking.
Fighting against the Jade Chamber and the Millelith.
Below, Keqing held the Lion Roar in her hand, pointing at Beisht position to signal the attack.
Behind her, the Millelith pushed the Guizhong Ballistas, aiming at Beisht.
Then, emitting golden light, several Guizhong Ballistas.
Like golden points of light, struck hard against Beisht body!
"ROAR!!!"
Beisht let out an angry roar!
Then it opened its mouth, gathering a shock wave, but before it could fully charge, it was suddenly interrupted.
A cannonball hit Beisht head.
Beisht turned its head to look at the Alcor below.
The Jade Chamber, the beach on the ground, and the Alcor were all constantly striking at Beisht.
Making Beisht emit pained roars continuously!
"ROAAAAR!!!"
Finally, after being struck for a long time, Beisht angrily raised its head and roared loudly at the sky!
The enormous sound covered the ocean in front of Liyue Harbor!
Instantly, a towering tsunami rose up!
This massive wave from the sea was incredibly huge, its height already exceeding that of the Jade Chamber!
It seemed to want to submerge all of Liyue Harbor.
Below, Ganyu held her bow, gathering adeptal power to aim at Beisht position, but seeing such a massive tsunami.
She still frowned and put away the bow in her hands.
"Wh-what is that?!"
"Such a huge wave!"
The Millelith below, gradually being covered by the tsunami shadow, shouted in shock.
Seeing this, Lumine on the Jade Chamber used Anemo and Geo elements as platforms under her feet.
Using the tremendous force, she launched herself out!
Just as she was about to reach Beisht head, a Dull Blade instantly appeared in her hand!
She thrust it hard toward Beisht head!
Seeing this, Beisht gathered a terrifying shock wave in its mouth.
It fired it directly at Lumine flying through the air!
"Oh no!"
Lumine pupils suddenly contracted.
She was in mid-air and had no way to dodge.
With this thought.
Lumine body was instantly struck.
BANG!!!
The tremendous impact force sent Lumine crashing into a mountain peak!
After the dust settled, Lumine had completely lost consciousness.
She was embedded in the mountain face, then her body went limp.
She fell hard toward the ground!
The Dull Blade in her hand also dropped.
Seeing this, Shenhe quickly jumped up, caught Lumine in mid-air, and then landed on the ground.
Lumine painfully opened her eyes, looking at Shenhe who held her in her arms.
Shenhe eyes widened, trembling as she looked at Lumine in her arms.
Then she slowly closed her eyes.
"You were born with such a fate..."
"As long as you live."
"You bring danger to those around you."
"It would be better if you just died like this..."
"To bring her back..."
Young Shenhe extended one hand, seeing her father slowly emerge from the cave entrance.
"When will it be."
"When you have the thought of using your power for others."
"When will you truly be able to integrate into human society."
Cloud Retainer slightly turned her head, looking at Shenhe and speaking slowly.
Shenhe slowly opened her eyes, looking at Lumine on the ground, a flash of determination passing through her pupils.
Then she stood up and slowly walked toward the massive tsunami.
"Shenhe..."
Cloud Retainer looked at Shenhe slowly walking toward the tsunami, her eyes full of worry.
Suddenly, someone grasped her hand.
Cloud Retainer was slightly startled, then looked toward Qiu Bai before her.
"Believe in Shenhe."
At this moment, Qiu Bai looked at Cloud Retainer before him and nodded.
"Morcius..."
Cloud Retainer looked at Qiu Bai before her, slightly stunned.
"Mm."
Then Cloud Retainer slightly closed her eyes, with a smile at the corner of her mouth, and nodded.
Their gazes also turned toward the tsunami below and Shenhe position.
Raiden Ei gaze also noticed Qiu Bai and Cloud Retainer clasped hands.
Then she raised her head to look at Cloud Retainer face.
She couldn't understand why the two were holding hands.
In her heart, she didn't quite like their gesture.
But she couldn't understand why.
Raiden Ei raised her head, looking at Cloud Retainer and Qiu Bai before her, slightly stunned.
Then she calmed her emotions, turned around, and looked at the massive tsunami.
"Hmm..."
Zhongli naturally noticed Raiden Ei expression, stroking his chin and thinking for a moment.
"It seems my old friend has already realized something."
"Is it time?"
Zhongli looked at Raiden Ei expression, frowning slightly and murmuring in his heart.
At this moment, Shenhe below was emanating the power of Cryo element.
Snowflakes also began to fall around her.
Her pupils emitted a blue-purple glow, floating toward her back.
She slowly walked forward.
Taking one step onto the sea surface, the area she stepped on instantly froze into ice.
Then Cryo elemental shock waves spread around, freezing a large area of the sea surface.
Shenhe formed hand seals.
A purple-blue talisman paper appeared in her hand, emitting purple light!
"Divine Maiden Deliverance!!!"
Shenhe gathered extremely powerful Cryo elemental force, then her figure suddenly spun.
She released terrifying Cryo elemental power toward the massive tsunami before her!
The enormous Cryo elemental force, like mist, swept across the entire massive tsunami like a cold wave!
Instantly, it froze this enormous tsunami into ice blocks!
Then the ice blocks continuously cracked and fell into the ocean.
This incredibly massive tsunami was blocked by Shenhe alone!
