Honkai Impact 3: Deadwood

"Xiao Zhi!!" Fu Hua, who originally thought that her old friend would be in danger due to the attack of "The Herrscher", saw the black fog dissipate and immediately rushed forward to check the other party's situation, but before she could relax that her old friend was safe, the ship Chang Bian quickly glanced at the fighting swords scattered on the ground, and whispered to the girl beside him: "Now!"

"!"

Fu Hua and the captain, who immediately understood the meaning of their old friend, each picked up a sword blade and rushed towards Xilin, who was still in a daze because the power of death had failed. They only reacted when they saw the two of them rushing towards him with swords. Xilin hurriedly summoned several Archon spears to shoot at the two of them, but they were easily blocked by the two's tacit understanding of the dual sword skills. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were in front of Xilin and stabbed her with the swords in their hands. blade.

"Tsk!"

The moment before being pierced through the chest by two swords, Siren reluctantly activated her power to move behind the two, and once again summoned several Archon spears from the holes beside her to stab the two in the back.

The captain, who had expected this, immediately turned around and turned behind Fu Hua, blocking those sharp spears for her. Fu Hua also took advantage of the old friend to defend her, turned around and threw the "Herrscher" not far behind him. The silver sword blade in his hand.

It only lasted a few seconds. There was no verbal communication but the two people showed such perfect cooperation that Xilin didn't even have time to marvel. The blade had already flown past her and accurately pierced the floating thing beside her. of golden honkai energy cubes.

"What!?"

Seeing the crystal ornaments flying out from the cracked Honkai energy cube, Sirin realized the real goal of the two - the "Key to Space".

The pendant released from Sirin's "space" power seal immediately flew back to its owner after regaining its freedom, and once again turned into a long black blade in his hands.

"Human, you...!" Xilin, who felt that she had been completely fooled by the two of them, could not help clenching her fists in anger, but the human opposite her was silent and did not say a word, only her dark eyes. There was a certain determination seeping out of her that made Xilin couldn't help but tremble all over.

"Xiao Zhi...I'm sorry, I didn't notice it..."

"I understand, Chi Yuan." As if to stop the girl from apologizing to him, the captain suddenly spoke in a very calm tone as usual: "I understand what you mean, but now...do me a favor, okay. ? Help me one last time."

"...?"

This slightly abrupt request made Fu Hua not even understand the meaning of the words in the first few seconds.

And when she finally realized what happened in the few seconds before she arrived, she also saw the dim starry sky in her old friend's eyes that was still gentle but extremely desolate under the black hair.

Even though she had completely forgotten, those eyes had long been engraved in the depths of Fu Hua's soul, reminding her that when the sisters passed away thousands of years ago, the way he looked at her was as gentle as it is now. So desolate.

"Xiao...zhi...could it be...Mea Yi..."

Then, covered by the wet hair, Fu Hua never saw his old friend's eyes again. Only the cold rain kept sliding down his face, which was covered with anti-swelling plaster, like the tears shed by a young man.

However, Zhi was not crying, because he still had things to do, things he had to do as their captain.

"Chi Yuan, just a moment, help me create opportunities."

Explanation has become something that the two of them no longer need. Even if there are countless regrets in his heart, Fu Hua also knows that it is still too late after all. When the first victim appears, everything they once had will no longer exist. There is no possibility of coming back.

Perhaps because she was used to losing, Fu Hua was not immediately overwhelmed by the torrent of pain and sadness. She suddenly felt that this was terrible. Getting used to losing... was much scarier than the loss itself.

What about him? Has he gotten used to losing?

Impossible.

He just chose to do something more important than savor the pain of loss.

Swallowing the pain and the blood in his mouth, Fu Hua agreed to his old friend's last request.

Although she didn't know how he could reverse this irreversible battle, he opened his mouth to her, and she was willing to give it a try.

"what should I do?"

"Find a way to stop her actions."

"I understand."

In order to respond to his old friend's request, Fu Hua walked in front of the captain, and in the blink of an eye, he was ready to use everything he had to create what he needed for him, and there was only a moment of opportunity.

"Death struggle! Do you think I will be stabbed by your broken toy again!?"

Afraid of the long black sword that shimmered purple in the heavy rain in the human hand, and the figure standing with the sword in his hand, his eyes covered by the ends of his hair, Xilin actually felt a trace of fear, a trace of fear that made her now possess the three major powers. The "Hersher" is so powerful that even he feels fear.

"...!"

After adjusting her breath for the last time, the girl stepped out, stepped through the mud, and rushed towards the "Herrscher" in front of her, while the captain controlled the "Key of God" to try to absorb it quickly before the opportunity created by Fu Hua came. While relying on the Honkai energy in the atmosphere to replenish energy, he raised the blade in his hand towards the two fighting in the distance.

He had to forcibly remove the two pieces of "Herrscher Core" from Kiana's body at one time, and for this, he had made all the preparations he could.

During the short time he rushed back to the airport from the sea, he had already planned a retreat route for Hyperion and the rest of the coalition forces who were still cleaning up the Honkai Beasts that kept emerging from the holes in the "Third Airport", and defended the perimeter of the headquarters. The fleet has also begun to retreat according to his instructions.

As for the rest, that's what he has to do.

Looking at the humans in the distance who were gathering Honkai energy on the "Key of God", Sirin began to panic a little. However, the girl in front of her launched an intensive offensive against her with all her strength, but it was difficult for her to be distracted.

"This woman is even faster than before!?"

Fu Hua dodged several archon spears suddenly shot from above her head at the closest distance, which shocked Sirin. In the shock of those golden eyes, Fu Hua had already punched Sirin in the abdomen.

"Ugh!?"

Before Xilin could take a breath, Fu Hua punched Xilin in the abdomen and immediately withdrew her fist. A reverse impact force condensed from all around made Xilin move forward uncontrollably, and the next second , Fu Hua had already exerted force again, hitting her chest with a punch, knocking Xilin back several meters.

Xilin, who was knocked to the ground by this fist move called "Death Force·Breaking Sea", didn't care about her own embarrassment after getting up. She was about to summon the Archon Spear to attack the captain in front, when Fu Hua He had already ducked behind her and locked her neck with one hand.

"Now, Twig!"

Seeing that Fu Hua had successfully controlled Xilin's actions, the captain in the distance immediately rushed towards Xilin at an extremely fast speed, and at the same time stabbed out the dark sword blade in his hand with all his strength.

"Haha~☆" Looking at the "Key of God" in the human hand that was only a few feet away from her chest, Sirin didn't have any panic expression on her face. She had already reserved a hand for this.

In Fu Hua's surprised look, she and the "Herrscher" who was controlled by her switched places in the blink of an eye. The ethereal laughter came from behind, and at the same time, the long sword thrust out of the old friend's hand and it was too late to retract was also ignored. Mercy sank into her chest...
