Chapter 434: Hoolay Issues a Challenge! Is Yanqing Getting Beat Up Again?!
[ Battle Ended ]
Mok Tok, the culprit who stirred up the storm of Hoolay's prison break.
Finally, he was slain by Moze and Stelle in the storyline.
Right at that moment.
A phantom projection emerged from Mok Tok's corpse.
A burly physique.
A sharp gaze.
It was none other than Hoolay!
"It seems Mok Tok got what he wanted."
Moze said coldly, "Hoolay… your plan to declare war is ruined."
"Next, no matter where you flee, General Feixiao will hunt you down and send you to follow in Mok Tok's footsteps."
Hearing this.
The corners of Hoolay's mouth curled up slightly.
Then, he threw his head back and laughed towards the sky!
"Hahahahaha…"
"Your tongue is much sharper than your claws."
"Don't get in the way, kid. Let your General come speak with me. My hunting game with her isn't over yet."
As his voice fell.
Feixiao also arrived at the scene.
"Step back, Moze. I am right here. Hoolay, is there anything else you want to say?"
At this moment, Aurum Alley.
The streetlights flickered dimly.
Two figures stood, one in the light and one in the dark.
Creating a highly impactful face-off.
"General Feixiao, though we have never met on the battlefield, along the way, I have heard many interesting rumors about you from my subordinates and your healers."
"The Xianzhou people are truly daring, actually allowing a Foxian war-slave with Borisin blood to ascend to the General's seat."
"Has no one ever questioned your lineage? Or is it because your illustrious achievements have temporarily shut everyone's mouths?"
Hoolay's words were sharp and highly targeted.
Before Feixiao could react.
The numerous players in the livestream chat could no longer sit still!
…
"What business is it of yours? Are you even qualified to say that?"
"Trying to play mind games? You, a pack leader, aren't sharpening your claws but reading military strategy instead?"
"I will always believe in General Feixiao!"
"Damn it, you, a Borisin Warhead, are actually meddling in our Xianzhou affairs?"
"Do you think we care about lineage as much as you Borisins do? There is an ancient saying in Xianzhou—'Are kings and generals born to their titles?' You will never understand our breadth of mind."
"Borisin lineage really isn't an issue. There are even two Borisin tribes who chose the path of non-aggression, and the Xianzhou still lets them enjoy the rights of citizens."
…
Facing Hoolay's sharp question.
Feixiao smiled gently.
"Claiming kinship with your enemy on the battlefield counts as a subtle way of begging for mercy… Hoolay, are you begging me for mercy?"
Hoolay smiled coldly: "It seems your blood not only contains the cruelty of a wolf, but also the cunning of a fox."
"Ultimately, this is a gift from the Borisins. What we bestow, we also have the right to take back—"
"General Feixiao, I extend my final invitation to you: I will await your arrival on the Wardance skiff."
"Before you arrive, I will embark on a slaughter, letting this crimson moon, which has been dim for seven hundred years, beat and ignite once more. I will use bloodlight to illuminate this ship that has drawn everyone's attention, letting the world recognize how weak and incompetent the Xianzhou is."
"Then, I will pilot this vessel, break through all blockades and obstacles, and embark on the road home, making it the flagship for the Borisin resurgence."
"Before I accomplish all this, you will have the chance to stop me, or die by my hand. This is the path I have prepared for you."
Feixiao appeared completely calm and composed: "I accept your challenge, Hoolay. Because from the moment you stepped onto the Wardance skiff, you have already walked onto a path of no return."
In front of the screen.
Guinaifen also had a solemn expression.
The Wardance skiff?
Yunli and Yanqing were on the Wardance skiff right now!
Oh no!
March 7th is in danger!
Protect the best March 7th!
And as Feixiao's voice fell.
The perspective indeed shifted to the Wardance skiff, Skysplitter.
Yunli was comforting a nervous March 7th: "Don't worry about your mission. Don't you still have me? Don't be intimidated by the title of defending the arena on behalf of the Luofu that Grandfather gave us."
"Ask yourself, you are a Nameless of the Astral Express, always coming and going as you please. But why, after Grandfather handed the task to us, did you board this Wardance skiff with me?"
March 7th blinked.
Replying: "If you ask why… because I also hope the Wardance Ceremony can be held successfully."
"To a Nameless, although we are just passing travelers at every stop… here, I've met two masters and made many friends. For everyone's sake, I hope this Wardance Ceremony goes smoothly."
Yunli giggled.
"Good answer! The arena matches are about to begin. I must go complete the task Grandfather entrusted to me."
"March, I wish your sword to always remain sharp, and may you ascend the arena and claim victory."
"…Thank you, Master Yunli."
Yunli's next task was to gather information from the Cloud Knights to ensure nothing would go wrong at the Wardance Ceremony venue.
Guinaifen blurted out directly:
"Something is definitely going to happen!"
"Hoolay has already laid his cards on the table!"
"Sigh… I can only hope Yunli and March won't get hurt this time~"
…
On the Luofu, inside a certain medical room.
Yanqing suddenly snapped his eyes open.
He sat up from the hospital bed all at once!
"Oh no!"
Because he exerted too much force, his chest throbbed with pain.
However, Yanqing didn't have time to care about that.
He immediately looked at his surroundings.
"I remember…"
"Confronting Acheron."
"Straining with all my might…"
"And then seeing that red blade."
Thinking of this.
Yanqing immediately showed a look of vexation.
He…
Had lost again!
Although he survived.
The Shackling Prison was also completely compromised.
Kafka, Sam, and Acheron… must have turned the Shackling Prison upside down, right?
No!
I must act immediately!
Just as Yanqing was about to get out of bed.
He suddenly saw a piece of paper pressed under the cup beside him.
[ You have overexerted yourself. Recover well. ]
[ I will handle the matters of the Shackling Prison. ]
This was General Jing Yuan's handwriting.
Yanqing recognized it at a glance.
His hanging heart was put at ease.
He leaned back against the pillow, somewhat drained of strength.
"Ha…"
"Once again."
"I wasn't of any use."
"I still had to rely on the General to carry me back to the ward."
"Yanqing… you really are useless!"
"No wonder you became the most benched five-star character in Honkai: Star Rail."
He let out a bitter smile.
At this moment.
Some intermittent sounds caught his attention.
Pulling the curtain aside.
What appeared in his line of sight was a screen currently broadcasting a livestream.
It seemed Honkai: Star Rail was also here.
He wondered where the plot had progressed during the time he was asleep.
Had Hoolay caused a massive uproar on the Xianzhou?
On the screen.
The person who appeared was… Yunli.
She was running around barefoot on the Wardance skiff.
She arrived at a starskiff landing port and muttered to herself: "Is this the suspicious starskiff? Where are the passengers…"
Yunli cleared her throat.
"Routine inspection! Passengers boarding the vessel, please accept inspection immediately."
"I'll count to ten. If you don't come out, I'm going to smash the ship!"
"Ten!"
"Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four… time is almost up!"
Yanqing smiled.
This…
Really was Yunli's personality.
Although her actual age was a bit older than his.
She always gave off the feeling of being a child…
"Three! Two!"
"One!"
When she counted to one.
Yunli directly took a starting stance.
She pulled out Old Mettle!
It looked like…
She really intended to smash the starskiff!
At this moment.
His own voice came from the background!
"Wait!"
"It's me."
"It's just a routine inspection, you wouldn't really smash the ship, would you? Is this also your Zhuming tradition…"
…
"Yunli: If I knew, I wouldn't have counted down and just smashed it directly."
"Then why did Yanqing take so long to come out."
"Is it the real Yanqing? Could it be a trap?"
"Hoolay has already boarded the Wardance skiff. Is he going to target the kids' group first?"
"Yanqing is going to get beaten up again."
"Yanqing, run quickly! There's absolutely no need for you to face an enemy you can't defeat!"
"It's over! My Yanqing is going to become a measuring unit for other people's combat power again [ sad ]"
"We can only wait for Feixiao or Jingliu to save the day…"
