Because Schicksal had been largely destroyed by the Queen, Li Sushang, after eating her fill and resting for a moment, came with Kiana to a remote island.
Otto and Kallen watched from the previous laboratory using satellite imagery.
Because Otto was also slightly curious about the extent of Kiana's current strength.
To understand the vast universe and to determine the possibility of Earth defeating the Honkai.
She didn't want the world Kallen lived in to be full of dangers everywhere.
"By seniority, perhaps I should address you as Martial Uncle? Please, make your move, Little Martial Uncle~"
Li Sushang held Mo Ranxiang behind her back and made a gesture of invitation.
"You... really want me to make the first move?"
Kiana took out the Ice Moon Sword, held it behind her back, and asked.
"Li Sushang, the eldest disciple of the Supreme Unfettered Sect, requests guidance from Little Martial Uncle."
Li Sushang merely chuckled at her words and nodded.
Kiana looked at the sword in her hand, then at her opponent, and directly plunged the sword into the ground.
No more formalities.
For the current Kiana, comparing Taixu Sword Qi techniques with Li Sushang, who had achieved great mastery in Swordsmanship, would be pure masochism.
She didn't have the Xuanyuan Sword, nor had she cultivated to the level of divine charm, so she might as well fight in her own way.
"What does Little Martial Uncle mean by this?"
Li Sushang was displeased with Kiana's action of putting away her sword. Was this a slight against her?
Kiana didn't respond, only giving her a mysterious smile, and then, under Li Sushang's shocked gaze, summoned her Manifestation of Kianas Power.
Li Sushang's mouth was slightly agape, staring blankly at this blue-purple, awe-inspiring figure, like a goddess of war.
So, she wasn't looking down on her, but was preparing to unleash her ultimate move from the start?!
After the shock, Li Sushang let out a hearty laugh, then raised her other hand with a sword-finger gesture to her chest, muttering incantations.
Since the other party wanted to decide the victor in one move, she wouldn't hold back either.
"Three feet of water, enough to cut through clouds!"
"Glorious Spirit, heed my command, cut—no quarter!"
In the sky, a golden giant sword slowly descended from the clouds.
And the Manifestation of Kianas Power behind Kiana thrust straight towards this giant sword.
The energy torrent generated by the clash of the two sword blades stirred up the seawater around the island by several zhang.
As the Manifestation of Kianas Power's output gradually increased, Li Sushang's Taixu Sword God emitted crisp cracking sounds.
Crack—crack—
!!?
The Manifestation of Kianas Power pushed with force, and a huge ice-blue sword qi shot out from the sword tip, destroying the Taixu Sword God.
After destroying the Taixu Sword God, the sword qi did not diminish, soaring straight into the sky.
Looking at the clouds in the sky, split in half, it was as if a tear had been ripped in the heavens.
"..."
Li Sushang's small face turned pale, and her steps became somewhat unsteady, but she didn't fall.
The Taixu Sword God was forcibly shattered, and it seemed she suffered some backlash.
Seeing this, Kiana waved her hand, withdrew the Manifestation of Kianas Power, and then quickly came to Li Sushang's side.
"Are you alright... I didn't mean to!"
Kiana's eyes showed concern, and she explained in a flustered manner.
It was really hard to control the output; at the time, she just wanted to push it back, but she didn't expect to shatter the Sword God directly.
"It's nothing, I'm fine," Li Sushang waved her hand and smiled calmly.
"It's nothing, I'm fine," Li Sushang waved her hand and smiled calmly.
Because Kiana's eyes were clear and showed no ill intent, she didn't mind.
Moreover, a loss is a loss; she could only blame herself for not being skilled enough.
"Little Martial Uncle's martial arts are impressive. Sushang admits defeat. I suppose even Grandmaster might not be Little Martial Uncle's match, right?"
Li Sushang smiled freely and easily.
"Probably... Since that's the case, I'll tell you what A Hua wanted to explain back then."
Kiana scratched her head, chuckled, and then began to tell Li Sushang the true events of that year, as well as some of her conjectures.
The two walked along the island beach, enjoying the sea breeze.
Kiana speculated that the big fire back then was not intentionally set by Fu Hua to cover up the truth after killing Qin Suyi and her husband.
Instead, it was because Qin Suyi felt deep guilt towards her master and chose to take her own life.
Because Qin Suyi was the person with the least motive to kill her master.
Moreover, she had once tried to warn her master and later hid her master's body to help her resurrect.
Therefore, Fu Hua had no reason to seek revenge on Qin Suyi first.
Fu Hua, in the world of consciousness, listened to Kiana's logical analysis and nodded.
Not a single word was wrong.
"..."
After listening, Li Sushang remained silent.
But looking at her tightly furrowed brows and slightly complex gaze, she seemed unwilling to believe this fact.
However, she also felt the other party's sincerity; the other party wasn't lying to her.
And after thinking about it, it indeed made sense. When she met Red Kite Grandmaster back then, the other party did want to explain something.
But she interrupted, and in the end, both sides were severely injured.
"Alas..."
A feather appeared out of thin air, and the white-haired, red-eyed Fu Hua gradually materialized before Li Sushang.
The scenery before Li Sushang's eyes changed, and a familiar place came into view.
It was the memory Sword Manor from five hundred years ago.
At this moment, Fu Hua was using Fenghuang Down to show Li Sushang the memories of that year.
The scene played until Fu Hua arrived at the memory Sword Manor, which was engulfed in flames, and found Qin Suyi, who had already turned to charcoal, then abruptly stopped.
Then the scene changed, showing the moment the Seven Disciples of Taixu killed Fu Hua.
Watching this scene, Fu Hua's heart didn't fluctuate much.
Thanks to this death, her "Divine Sound" was shattered, freeing her from the state of being a Heavenly Sword, an avatar that had abandoned humanity.
And now, without the influence of the Divine Sound, coupled with Kiana possessing the hope of defeating the Honkai.
She also began to search for her path as a "human."
Although her daily duties at the Department of Geomancy were busy, she enjoyed them.
After Li Sushang finished watching these, her eyes no longer struggled, but closed as she took a deep breath.
With that sigh, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
More than anything, there was a sense of relief.
"Red Kite Grand... Great Grandmaster, Sushang has sinned. Please punish me severely, Great Grandmaster..."
Li Sushang knelt before Fu Hua, speaking respectfully.
"I don't mean to blame you,"
Fu Hua shook her head and helped Li Sushang up.
"Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, there is one more thing I ask of you, Great Grandmaster."
"What is it?"
"Fight me with all your strength."
Li Sushang smiled faintly at Fu Hua.
Now that her grievances were settled.
Next, it was up to her to fulfill the last wishes of her mother and master.
To end the Great Grandmaster's destiny of becoming the Heavenly Sword.
This was a wish her mother and Master Cheng Lingshuang often mentioned during their long periods of teaching her.
"There's no need to fight anymore."
"???" Li Sushang.
Now, within Fenghuang Down's illusion, Fu Hua, with intent, naturally knew what Li Sushang was thinking.
"I know what you're thinking. I am no longer bound by destiny."
Fu Hua also showed a relieved smile on her face.
Looking at that smiling face, Li Sushang opened her mouth, then also smiled slightly.
It seemed Great Grandmaster's words were not false.
The extreme divinity of the Heavenly Sword could not imitate such a human smile.
Having accomplished two wishes in one day, she felt completely relaxed, more relaxed than ever before.
Fu Hua's next sentence made Li Sushang even happier.
"From now on, you will stay by my side, Sushang."
Fu Hua looked at Li Sushang with a smile in her eyes, and the latter readily agreed.
After all, now that she had reconciled with her Great Grandmaster, the other party was practically her only living relative in the world.
And what Fu Hua was thinking was—
The Department of Geomancy is short on talent, and the Warahip Sentinels are almost empty, so Sushang can perfectly fill the role.
