A flash of sword light, but the Geovishap did not die. As a Geo creature, it perfectly inherited the Geo element's characteristics of high defense and thick HP.
Even if its defense was rendered ineffective by Kuzuryūsen, its physical body could still withstand one Kuzuryūsen. After all, it wasn't the use of Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki technique in a critical state, so it was understandable that it couldn't be instantly killed.
[A/N: Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki" (天翔龍閃, or "Flash of the Heavenly Soaring Dragon") is a powerful sword technique from the Rurouni Kenshin manga and anime series.]
"Clang—"
The Reverse-Blade Sword was sheathed, and its active skill activated, making the Kuzuryūsen/ Nine-Headed Dragon Strike, which had just entered cooldown, available again.
[For the definition of Kuzuryūsen, check the end of the chapter]
"Kuzuryūsen!"
The Geovishap's rolling motion came to an abrupt halt. The feeling of being restrained reappeared, and after this strike, it completely lost all its strength.
"Crunch—"
The Geovishap's thick rock armor fell off, and magma-like blood flowed onto the ground. The Geovishap, lying on the magma, gasped for breath, its remaining strength not even enough to support it to get up.
With a click, the Reverse-Blade Sword was sheathed.
Although the Reverse-Blade Sword's non-lethal property didn't work on non-human creatures like the Geovishap, he still decided to try something else. The piece of equipment he had recently acquired.
[Fairy's Glitter (Active)]: One of the strongest three magic spells in a certain world, a legendary super magic. A merciless light that allows no enemy to survive, capable of annihilating all enemies. Unique Active – Fairy's Glitter: Immediately deals 15% of the target's missing health as true damage. If the target is killed, cooldown is reduced by 20 seconds. (Cooldown: 90 seconds)
Lightly shaking his arm, a faint pattern seemed to appear on his right arm, but it was obscured by his red robe and couldn't be clearly seen.
This magic did not belong to this world, and originally Bai Luo had no right to use it. However, through the system's modification, it was able to manifest in this world as an equipment. Though it descended in the form of equipment, its radiance could still not be concealed.
A pale golden light shot up into the sky, and the dark clouds above Tianqiu Valley also dispersed without a trace under the stirring of this golden light.
The beam of light, even more dazzling than a lighthouse in the night, actually occupied the entire sky, soaring straight into the clouds, making it impossible for people to look away. The light gathered above the Geovishap's head, gradually forming a halo.
This halo condensed the faith, bonds, and determination of a group of people; the power it contained actually suppressed the Geovishap, rendering it unable to move.
"Gather here, guide the Fairy's River of Light!
Shine here, annihilate the wicked minions!
Fairy's Glitter!"
As Bai Luo's arm fell, that beam of light... bloomed. It was like the first ray of sunlight illuminating the horizon, its scorching and sacred brilliance making even Qiqi, who wasn't afraid of sunlight, unable to look directly at it.
It contained no impurities, no superfluous attributes, just light. Only light.
The halo gradually enveloped the Geovishap. It didn't even have a chance to wail, completely falling silent. Not even a trace was left. The light dissipated, and the mark on Bai Luo's arm also disappeared, entering cooldown completely.
Was Fairy's Glitter powerful? Indeed, it was powerful. The momentum it displayed was far more spectacular than any skill he currently possessed.
Unfortunately... this coolness came at the cost of damage. Note its description: it deals 15% of the target's missing health. This means if the opponent hasn't lost any HP, throwing this skill would only blind their eyes. It's purely a large-scale flashbang. But if the opponent is at low health... then it transforms into a divine execution skill. That's why he said earlier that this was a finishing move used after a major skill.
Little Qiqi had already scrambled down. Carrying her medicine basket, she squatted beside the Geovishap, taking out a twig and seemingly trying to find something in the pile of ashes.
Unfortunately, He miscalculated. Fairy's Glitter had directly turned the Geovishap into a handful of ashes, leaving no bone large enough to pick out, making its end even more tragic than Signora's later on.
"Luo Bai, medicine, medicine." Qiqi stood beside Bai Luo, tugging at his clothes corner, protesting in a low voice. I asked you to defeat it to get materials, not to annihilate it.
"..." Bai Luo was a bit embarrassed. It was his first time using Fairy's Glitter as well. He had originally thought it would be like in the game, where a buzz sound would steal the kill from his teammates.
Who knew this thing would have such a grand display? Speaking of which, that flash of light just now should have been visible even in Liyue Harbor, right? If it truly was visible, then that wouldn't be good.
Adepti, the Liyue Qixing, and Rex Lapis might all come to investigate the situation, and if they were cornered, it would be difficult to explain.
And those few, very rare people he had previously marked, were already on their way.
"Don't move." After transforming into his Assassin state, Bai Luo stood beside Qiqi and pulled her into Shadow Trace.
Almost the moment they entered Shadow Trace, Rex Lapis had already descended into the cave. And then, it was Cloud Retainer, who happened to be nearby.
"Lord Rex Lapis!" Although not wearing divine attire, the divine power emanating from Rex Lapis was undeniable. Rex Lapis often assumed the form of an ordinary human for incognito visits, so the Adepti mostly relied on his divine power to identify him.
"This is a Geovishap, isn't it?" Squatting down and picking up some ashes, Rex Lapis frowned. As a Geo creature, it was almost impossible for a Geovishap to be reduced to this state. But considering that beam of light... it didn't seem strange for it to turn into a pile of ashes.
"Indeed, it had been dwelling here for some time. The Adepti saw that it had not committed any wrongdoing, so they did not interfere much. After all... it was a familiar of that one." Cloud Retainer sighed and said.
That turmoil, to the people of Liyue, was history; to them, it was a war they had personally experienced, and one that should never have been fought in the first place.
That Dragon King was sealed away, and its familiars, along with the Dragon King's seal, also went underground, awaiting their king's return. Who would have thought that after it saw the light of day again, it would suffer such persecution?
Frowning slightly, Cloud Retainer only pitied the Geovishap, but overlooked one thing. Did the appearance of these Geovishaps indicate that her old friend was about to return?
"Moon Carver and Mountain Shaper are also coming. Go tell them that they don't need to interfere with what happened here, and that includes you as well." Sighing, Rex Lapis said.
"This... Lord Rex Lapis, do you already have a clue?"
"Hm, I pretty much know who it is." That beam of light just now was an extremely pure light, without any flaws.
If it wasn't the God of Light, then there was only one possibility: it came from outside this world. Although that beam of light was extremely dazzling, it didn't feel familiar to him at all; instead, it felt very alien, and... it posed no threat.
Thinking about Bai Luo's strange powers and his different drawing technique from Raiden Shogun, he had basically confirmed that the owner of that light was Bai Luo. He didn't expect this fellow to still be hiding such a trump card.

Kuzuryūsen (九頭龍閃', Nine-headed Dragon Strike) The types of attacks in kenjutsu--first, the Karatake (downward stroke), Kesagiri, the slantwise downward stroke to the shoulder, reverse Kesagiri, right Nagi (belly stroke), left Nagi (reverse belly stroke), right upward cut, left upward cut, and the Sakakaze, upward stroke. Finally, the stroke that pierces at the shortest range to the chest is the Tsuki. In all the schools there is no killing technique that does not aim for one of those nine points. Naturally, the stances of defense were developed to correspond to these same nine points. But if you move with the godlike speed of the Hiten Mitsurugi style and strike at all nine points at once, there is no possibility of defense. The Ku Zu Ryu Sen is the second most powerful technique of Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu. The user moves in at top speed, striking all nine vital points on their opponent's body. Ku Zu Ryu Sen is taught as a prerequisite for the succession technique.
