Chapter 153 With Heavenly Fire around, victory is guaranteed!
"Sweet rain!!!"
Although Ningguang desperately wanted to intervene, she had to control the remaining Returning Machines to suppress the Vortex Demon God, and had no choice but to call upon her companions.
Gan Yu understood immediately, turned his longbow around, and accurately shot down the Fool's soldiers who were carrying bombs...
However, faced with the endless stream of Fatui soldiers pouring out of the portal, the Liyue Septim and the Sages, who were overwhelmed with their own tasks, were still unable to stop the destruction of the Final Descent.
Over time.
The Returning Machines in the magic circle were quickly destroyed by the Fools, leaving only three units. The originally dense network of firepower was also weakened considerably due to the damage to the Returning Machines.
"Roar--"
The remaining Returning Machines are clearly insufficient to suppress the Vortex Demon God.
Its body began to recover rapidly, and it let out a roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
This roar also served as a signal to retreat, prompting all the Fools who were still lingering in the Jade Pavilion to quickly return to the teleportation portal.
Although the invading Fools had left, the Seven Stars and the Immortals were not happy.
Because they had almost completely lost the means to stop the Vortex Demon God from advancing...
Faced with such a perilous situation, an unprecedented determination flashed in Ningguang's eyes.
"Phew...this is the only way." She let out a heavy sigh, then announced loudly, "Everyone, evacuate from the Jade Pavilion immediately!!"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell into a brief silence.
After a long pause, Keqing couldn't help but ask, "...Ningguang, do you mean to...?"
Ningguang's gaze was unusually firm. She looked deeply at Keqing and confirmed, "Yes, I will 'abandon' the Jade Pavilion."
Seeing that Ningguang had made up her mind, the others didn't say anything more. They all expressed their understanding of her decision and then turned around to prepare for the evacuation.
While the immortals were assisting the Thousand Rock Army in their evacuation, the Maelstrom was still heading towards Liyue Harbor.
After the Thousand Rock Army on the Jade Pavilion had safely withdrawn, Ningguang stood on the platform of the Jade Pavilion, calmly watching the enormous creature gradually approaching in the sea below.
The Jade Pavilion, this celestial palace she had poured countless efforts into building, was about to become a sacrifice to resist the Demon God of the Vortex...
But for the sake of Liyue Harbor and the people of Liyue, she had to make this decision.
however.
Just as Ningguang was about to manipulate the Jade Pavilion to rise directly above the Vortex Demon God.
Ke Qing's exclamation suddenly rang out: "Look, what's that?!"
In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to Keqing, and they all looked in the direction she was pointing.
Suddenly, a large patch of ice appeared directly in front of the Vortex Demon God, and it continued to spread towards the Demon God's location.
Looking out from the Qunyu Pavilion, one can only vaguely see a crimson dot of light slowly moving across the ice surface, which is particularly eye-catching.
"That's...a person!!"
The immortals, with their exceptional eyesight, naturally saw the situation on the ice immediately.
It was a gray-haired man carrying a crimson greatsword he had never seen before, slowly walking across the ice.
"What!?"
Upon hearing this news, everyone in the Jade Pavilion was instantly in an uproar.
There are quite a few people in Teyvat who use ice to freeze the water and cross the sea, but during the resurgence of the Maelstrom, there are still people who dare to cross the sea in this way.
This gray-haired man was undoubtedly a daring fellow...
However, despite the surprise, the person still needed to be saved.
Among the immortals present, the one most suitable for carrying people, the Moon-Cut Yang True Lord, immediately took to the air, preparing to rush towards the gray-haired man.
However, what happened next made it stop in its tracks.
......
Lin Qiong looked up at the enormous creature emanating a terrifying pressure in front of him and stopped freezing the sea surface.
"...The distance should be about right, but I don't know if unleashing the Heavenly Fire will be enough to take down Oser instantly."
After mentally estimating the distance between himself and the Vortex Demon God, Lin Qiong confirmed that he was in the optimal attack position.
He took a deep breath and slowly raised the Heavenly Fire Greatsword in his hand.
This moment.
A massive surge of energy erupted from Lin Qiong's body, flowing along his arm and converging on the Heavenly Fire Greatsword. The Flame Herrscher core embedded in the sword immediately burst forth with dazzling light.
On the crimson sword, a dazzling lava-colored light suddenly shone, like the midday sun, radiating endless heat.
Perhaps sensing an unprecedented threat, the heads of the Whirlpool Demon God became restless and thrashed wildly on the surface of the sea.
"Roar--"
Its roars followed in quick succession, deafening like thunder, its angry cries tinged with a hint of fear.
The vortex demon began to gather the surrounding water elements, absorbing all the surrounding seawater into its body.
Soon, a water sphere containing terrifying power condensed in the mouth of each of its heads, and it was aimed intently at Lin Qiong, who was standing on the ice.
Lin Qiong naturally wouldn't give it the chance to spew it out.
He suddenly exerted force with both legs, stomping hard on the solid ice surface, the powerful impact leaving spiderweb-like cracks on the ice.
Lin Qiong leaped toward the vortex demon god Oser with astonishing speed, and at the same time, he slashed down at it with the Heavenly Fire Greatsword he held high.
"Heavenly Fire, unsheathe!!" Lin Qiong roared.
The crimson sword sliced through the air, leaving a fiery trail in the void.
"boom--"
The destructive force collided violently with the demon god's massive body, unleashing a deafening roar.
In an instant.
The intense heat instantly vaporized the surrounding seawater, burning a huge crater in the sea surface and making a sizzling sound.
The seawater flow was interrupted due to the high temperature, so the surrounding water flow could not smoothly fill the huge hole formed by the high temperature.
at the same time.
A towering column of fire pierced a hole in the dark, cloud-covered sky, allowing the bright sunlight to stream through and illuminate the burning sea.
Even the originally pitch-black clouds were dyed crimson by the raging fire, as dazzling as the fiery clouds at sunset.
"The Demon God of the Vortex... has vanished..."
The seven stars on the Jade Pavilion and the immortals stared in shock at the scene before them, their faces filled with disbelief.
The scene of towering waves on the sea was no longer there; instead, there was tranquility and peace.
The huge crater scorched by the high temperature is slowly healing at a visible speed under the gentle lapping of the seawater.
Lin Qiong, whose whereabouts were unknown due to being swept away by the waves caused by the explosion, floated up from somewhere, soaking wet, and then climbed onto a piece of ice that had just solidified.
He wiped the water droplets from his face, turned to look in the direction of Liyue Harbor, then exhaled a string of white mist and muttered, "Phew... all done, time to go back and find Zhongli."
