Chapter 152 Can we win?
at the same time.
The towering waves that suddenly surged on the sea surface instantly attracted the attention of everyone around the dock.
"What...what is that?!" a fisherman exclaimed, pointing to the distant horizon.
The crowd around him looked in the direction he was pointing and were horrified to find that the dark clouds on the horizon had spontaneously formed a huge vortex.
On the churning sea, a huge black shadow was slowly approaching.
"Seawater...it's seawater, the seawater is surging up!!!" Lin Qiong heard people shouting.
He looked down at the sound and realized that the seawater had already overflowed the dock, and was lashing against his thighs in the strong wind.
But soon, the seawater, under the influence of his body temperature, froze into a thin layer of frost.
"Although we can't have contact with people, it's still quite convenient in this situation." Seeing this, Lin Qiong lifted his leg and stepped onto the seawater that had frozen into ice.
Because the appearance of the Vortex Demon God was too sudden, Lin Qiong knew that he definitely wouldn't be able to hitch a ride with Ningguang.
However, he should be able to use this method of crossing the sea on frozen ice to gradually approach the vortex demon, until he reaches the ideal distance to unleash the zeroth rated power...
Just then.
As if on cue, a huge black shadow swept over Lin Qiong's head just as he was pondering.
Lin Qiong looked up and saw that it was Ningguang's Jade Pavilion, which was rushing straight towards the direction of the Vortex Demon God at an astonishing speed.
"Looks like I need to speed things up too."
Lin Qiong thought to himself, expanding the ice surface beneath his feet as he followed behind Qunyu Pavilion forward.
......
On the Qunyu Pavilion.
Ningguang, riding this magnificent aerial palace, stopped in front of the Vortex Demon God.
At the center of that chaotic vortex, there were several heads formed from water elements, their winding and twisting shapes resembling giant snakes hidden in the undercurrent.
They are swimming towards Liyue Harbor at an astonishing speed...
Ningguang stood on the platform of Qunyu Pavilion, looking at the enormous figure before her, her face filled with solemnity.
Meanwhile, Keqing, also a member of the Liyue Seven Stars, walked up from behind Ningguang and stood beside her, looking at the Vortex Demon God in front of her with a solemn expression.
He slowly spoke, "Ningguang, many of the Thousand Rock Army soldiers accompanying us have fallen into a coma because they could not withstand the pressure released by the ancient demon god."
Upon hearing this, Ningguang frowned slightly, her gaze remaining firmly fixed on the Vortex Demon God.
After a moment, she asked Ke Qing in a deep voice, "How is the evacuation progressing?"
“It’s already been handed over to Uncle Tian to handle,” Ke Qing replied quickly.
Upon hearing that the evacuation of residents was to be handled by "Tian Shu," Ning Guang finally felt relieved...
However, at that moment...
A cold snort suddenly came from above the Jade Pavilion.
"Hmph, the Liyue Seven Stars... are truly disappointing."
Upon hearing the sound, Keqing and Ningguang looked up.
A blue and white crane flew over their heads, circled once in the air, and landed steadily on the platform of the Jade Pavilion.
Following closely behind were a brown deer and a dark brown crane.
Upon seeing these three visitors, Ningguang did not dare to be negligent and quickly bowed to them, saying, "Greetings, esteemed immortals."
During the time it took for both sides to greet each other, Granny Ping, Gan Yu, and the Great Demon-Slaying Sage Xiao also arrived at the Jade Pavilion one after another.
Once everyone had arrived, they began to discuss how to stop the Vortex Demon from continuing its advance towards Liyue Harbor.
Up to now, the Maelstrom has traveled about half of the journey between Guyun Pavilion and Liyue Harbor.
If it continues at this speed, the Whirlpool Demon will bring an unprecedented disaster to Liyue Harbor in less than an hour.
Upon learning this, Ningguang immediately activated the magic array engraved on the Qunyu Pavilion, and one after another, the pre-prepared Returning Machines slowly rose up as the magic array unfolded.
The battle between Liyue and the Demon God of the Vortex has officially begun...
at the same time.
In the direction of Liyue Harbor, Lin Qiong was walking steadily on the solid ice.
He looked up at the distant sea and saw that the enormous body of the Whirlpool Demon was getting closer and closer.
If the Vortex Demon God has already traveled more than halfway, then Lin Qiong has only traveled a quarter of the entire journey.
"Sigh, I should have borrowed a small boat from the fishermen." Lin Qiong sighed inwardly in annoyance.
If he had thought of borrowing a small boat back then, he might have already cleaved the Heavenly Fire Greatsword into the body of the Vortex Demon God.
But now, he can only slowly lay ice on the sea surface and move forward little by little.
Just as Lin Qiong was about to lay down a piece of ice, a loud "boom" suddenly came from afar.
He looked up in the direction from which the sound came.
In the distance, faint golden flames could be seen flickering, and each flicker was accompanied by a loud bang.
"Looks like I'd better hurry."
Seeing this, Lin Qiong immediately quickened his pace, causing the ice beneath his feet to extend further forward.
......
On the Qunyu Pavilion.
Ningguang was maneuvering the Returning Machine Array to continuously attack the Vortex Demon God. With each shot fired, the Demon God cried out in pain.
As the Returning Machine continued to roar, the Vortex Demon God's movements began to slow down.
"The demon god's advance seems to have slowed down considerably; it appears that the Returning to the End mechanism, enhanced by immortal magic, is quite effective against it!!"
Keqing reported the battle situation to Ningguang, her voice unusually tinged with excitement.
Hearing this, Ningguang nodded slightly, and her previously tense face relaxed considerably.
She glanced gratefully at the three immortals standing atop Gui Zhongji. If they hadn't used their immortal powers to empower Gui Zhongji, the damage from Gui Zhongji alone probably wouldn't have been enough to suppress that powerful demon god.
"Perhaps... we really can win!"
As Ke Qing gazed at the vortex demon god whose head was battered and mangled, a surge of excitement welled up within her.
The once invincible demon god before them could now only struggle on the sea surface under the powerful firepower of the Returning Machine.
This is the result of the joint efforts of the people of Liyue and the immortals.
She wanted to prove that even without the protection of the Geo Archon, the people of Liyue could still protect this land with their own strength...
however.
Just when everyone thought they could defeat the Vortex Demon God with the Return to the End, an unexpected event occurred.
Several ley line portals suddenly opened on the magic array of the Jade Pavilion, and a large number of elite soldiers of the Fools poured out from them, rushing towards several Return Machines with a clear objective.
The Return Machine closest to the portal was smashed to pieces by a Fool soldier wielding a giant hammer.
"No! Stop them!!!" Ningguang shouted anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Keqing rushed out first, her figure flashing across the battlefield like lightning. In just an instant, the Fool soldier wielding the giant hammer was cut down by her.
Gan Yu, Xiao, and Granny Ping also joined the battle one after another, defeating all the foolish soldiers who wanted to approach Gui Zhongji.
Just as Ningguang saw the Fatui being suppressed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a deafening explosion suddenly rang in her ears.
Her heart tightened, and she quickly turned her head to look in the direction from which the explosion came.
Several of the Returning Machines were reduced to wreckage, while a group of Fools dressed in black robes were stealthily advancing toward the other Returning Machines, carrying bombs.
