Chapter 400: Yanqing breaks into a cold sweat! Risking his life to stand against Acheron!
Good news!
Tingyun isn't dead! She was picked up by someone before the Xianzhou's starskiff met its demise!
Bad news!
The person who picked her up is Ruan Mei!
With this, Tingyun is definitely guaranteed to win her resurrection match. However, what her new form will look like upon her return has sparked various opinions within the player community!
Some players believe she will take the form of a Creation [ cat cake ], while others think she will fuse with the genes of an ancient beast to become a new species!
In short, everyone will have to wait for the subsequent main storyline or the version preview to find out.
Tingyun briefly "resurrected" in the community.
Players continued to focus their attention on the upcoming plot.
...
March 7th's swordplay learning journey officially begins!
In front of the storytelling stall.
Yanqing, March 7th, and Dan Heng had all arrived.
Along with some bystanders, they were listening to the storytelling with great interest.
By the time Stelle rushed over, it had just ended.
[ March, aren't you going to greet your master? ]
March 7th wasn't coy at all.
She said generously, "Master Yanqing is above~"
"In play-acting and novels, apprenticing in the Xianzhou requires presenting a grand gift to the master and kneeling to kowtow. Oh dear, I didn't prepare anything."
However, Yanqing blushed all of a sudden.
He stammered an explanation, "It's the first time hearing someone call me Master. Yanqing needs a little time to… get used to it…"
"But, let's make this clear first. Practicing the sword is to train the body, mind, and strength. It's not a game that can be mastered overnight."
"I promised General Huaiyan that I would teach Miss March the Cloud Knight swordplay, get her onto the Wardance ceremony, and defeat at least one opponent. I will definitely do my best to teach, but if you violate your master's instructions…"
[ March is very good! ]
"Once this lady says something, even a starskiff can't chase it back! Since I promised to study hard, I'll start today!" March 7th was also very confident.
"Good, that's the spirit I wanted."
Yanqing smiled.
"Yanqing found a quiet place in the back garden of the Palace of Astrum. We will have our first lesson together there."
At the gates of the Shackling Prison.
Yanqing showed a touch of emotion.
In the plot, he had actually become someone's master.
And the master of a Nameless, no less!
For a moment, he felt a sense of sweet relief after all his hardships!
The narrating soldier beside him also sighed, "Brother Yanqing is starting to act as a teacher in Honkai: Star Rail too! This is the recognition of Feathered Spirit!"
"Exactly, exactly! This counts as Feathered Spirit buffing you in the plot!"
"Brother Yanqing's future achievements are limitless! Don't forget to give us brothers a hand when you make it big in the future!"
Yanqing was already a bit proud.
And these soldiers were very good at kissing up!
With a round of flattery, anyone else would have floated up to the sky.
However, Yanqing had matured a lot by now.
He smiled and said, "Everyone, let's focus on our current duties."
"By order of the General, with Yanqing and all of you here, no matter what kind of intruder comes, they will absolutely not be able to enter this place even a fraction of an inch!"
Yanqing waved his hand.
He had the imposing aura of one man holding the pass against ten thousand!
The soldiers beside him all clapped in cooperation.
"The few of us are at most NPCs in Honkai: Star Rail. Actually, having Brother Yanqing here alone is enough!"
"No matter how powerful the enemy is, as long as Yanqing is here, he can hold the line to the death!"
"Those Borisin and the like aren't even qualified in front of Brother Yanqing!"
Yanqing smiled gently.
Showing all his youthful spirit!
Today, he had somewhat regained some of his confidence!
Right at this moment, a cold, indifferent voice suddenly sounded.
"Oh."
"Then, am I qualified?"
Everyone was stunned.
Just now!
It was as if a dark red light had appeared in front of them.
Immediately after, a person walked out of the light.
Holding a long blade.
Her tall boots lightly tapped on the ground, but the sound seemed to suppress everyone's heartbeat!
When they clearly saw the woman's face, everyone was shocked and lost their color!
How cheerful and high-spirited they were just now was exactly how shocked and terrified they were now!
"It's her…?!"
"How is it possible? Am I hallucinating?"
"Brother Yanqing… this person, why does she look a bit like Acheron from Honkai: Star Rail…?"
"My god… could it be… the real person…?"
Yanqing drew his sword at the first opportunity.
But his mouth was also dry!
As the saying goes, the visitor does not come with good intent.
The opponent's aura could be detected at a glance.
She definitely didn't come here for a walk, nor did she come here for sightseeing, or because she got lost and came to ask for directions…
Her purpose, without a doubt, was the Shackling Prison gate that everyone was guarding behind them!
"It's me."
Acheron raised her head slightly.
Her purple eyes seemed to shoot out a thrilling light.
"Since you all have heard of my name, then please step aside."
"I need to enter that door," Acheron said calmly.
She wasn't negotiating, but stating a fact.
The soldiers were already dumbfounded!
How could Acheron appear here?!
If this were in the game's plot, they might even cheer, look forward to it, or feel excited!
Acheron actually came to the Xianzhou Luofu!
This was simply a double joy for fans of both!
They could even go up and ask for an autograph~
Joyous, joyous, everyone is happy!
But this was reality…
Only by close contact did they realize how terrifying Acheron really was!
A single glance was like a black hole, silencing all things!
The game's description of Acheron's combat power was already exaggerated.
But now that they saw her in person, they only had one thought—
It wasn't exaggerated!
Not exaggerated at all!
The most critical point was that at this moment, they were standing on the opposite side of Acheron!
An E 6S 5 Acheron from the game jumped out!
Standing right in front of you!
With an air of drawing her blade if you don't step aside—
This was the most terrifying thing!
Yanqing forced himself to take a step forward.
His expression was extremely solemn.
Once the name "Acheron" was spoken, there was no need to use any other words to describe her strength.
In Honkai: Star Rail, he had once fought against Dan Heng in his Imbibitor Lunae form and Blade by himself.
Even today, this part of the plot was still talked about by many players with relish, known as the beginning of "Yanqing's broken Dao heart."
This time, the enemy he faced was even more terrifying!
Yanqing didn't know what sin he had committed in his life to repeatedly encounter these powerful enemies who far exceeded his own strength!
But even so, he had to go up!
"Gulp…"
A brave soldier swallowed his saliva.
He braced himself and said, "Miss… Miss Acheron, do you, do you know who he is?"
"He is the future Sword Champion of the Xianzhou, General Jing Yuan's disciple, and the Cloud Knight Lieutenant—Yanqing!"
"Just like you, he is also a playable character in Honkai: Star Rail…"
Acheron interrupted, "Precisely because of this, I don't want to hurt you."
"Step aside."
Yanqing gritted his teeth hard.
With a "swish," several flying swords unfolded behind him like a peacock's tail.
Exquisitely translucent, every single one of them emitted a blue light!
Yanqing also leaped into the air!
His gaze was firm, as if he were betting everything!
This time, he wanted to overcome his inner demons!
Find himself again!
Even against Acheron, he had to fight with all his might!
"I'll hold her off here, you guys go and notify General Jing Yuan immediately!"
"Only the General can completely stop her!"
Hearing this, the soldiers made a prompt decision and retreated immediately.
They knew that this battle was no longer at a level they could participate in!
Acheron sighed slightly.
Her hand, with its sharp fingertips, rested on the hilt of her blade.
To show respect to this young Xianzhou swordsman, she decided to draw her sword.
