Genshin Impact: A Mortal's Ascension to Godhood

But even though there was a reduction in personnel, the people of Fire Debt Processing did not give up. Facing the one-sided battle, they were still struggling hard.

"Don't panic, don't panic! Use our combined attack skill, [Phoenix Fire Spreads Across the Prairie]!"

The leader of the Fire Debt Handlers gave a loud command, gathering his somewhat confused subordinates together. Then, they put their scimitars together and worked together to release a wave of fire elements that penetrated the sky and the earth. The invisible and formless fire elements gathered together to form a giant fire phoenix. It made a clear cry, and its feathers were burning with blazing flames, like a fire messenger that had broken free from the shackles of hell.

Do users of the element of fire like to launch attacks so much?

Li Tao thought of Xiangling's [Fire Wheel] and Hu Tao's [Secret Anshen Magic], and looked at the [Phoenix Blazing the Land] in front of him, and summarized the following characteristics: Because fire elemental power is often violent and destructive, it is still somewhat difficult to shape and assist in combat as stably as water elemental power, especially when using elemental bursts.

"Haha, boys, we just let you take advantage of us, now you will be reduced to ashes by this move of ours!" the boss shouted arrogantly.

The fire phoenix soared in the sky, and every time it flapped its wings, a blazing flame was ejected, burning the surrounding air and causing it to distort. The trajectory of the fire phoenix cut through the sky, leaving behind a dazzling fire that illuminated the entire battlefield.

So, how will Li Tao and others deal with this move by the Fire Debt Handler?

The answer is to hide quickly. Facing any God's Eye holder's [Elemental Burst] skill, it is unwise to take it with your face.

So after a shout of "retreat", Xingqiu and his four companions dispersed in a very disciplined manner, watching coldly as the fire phoenix, composed of highly concentrated fire elemental force, flew over them and exploded at the end of its trajectory, with flames rising into the sky and billowing smoke. The ground was charred black by the flames, and the air was filled with a scorching breath, as if even the air was on fire.

A large amount of smoke and dust obscured everyone's vision, and also concealed the enemy's whereabouts. Xingqiu was the first to sense something was wrong: "Wait! Brother Li, be careful!"

That's right, just as Xingqiu guessed, the Fatui gave up attacking Xingqiu and others, and instead used the power of this move to try to "sneak across Yinping and attack Shu Han directly", and directly attacked Li Tao and Guoba in the rear!

The boss of the Fire Debt Handlers was like a demon in the smoke. He laughed and rushed out with his men: "You are too young to fight me—"

"Cooker, spit fire!"

Li Tao would not give the other party a chance to utter harsh words, but attacked first. While ordering Guoba to attack, he also gathered his own water elemental power - although he was injured and could not perform attacks like the hard vortex water blade, he could use the general water entanglement.

"Besides, I can't move around right now, so I'll use you to try out this trick of mine!"

"Entangled in flowing water, imprisoned by the waves!"

Li Tao opened his hands, and the water flow around him continued to increase, turning into waves that were difficult to ignore. The surrounding air seemed to be pulled by this force, forming a gradually expanding aqua-blue halo. He shouted "Go" in a low voice, and the strong water flow turned into waves, forming spherical water flow cages - these water cages appeared translucent blue, flashing a faint light, as if they were made up of countless tiny water droplets.

Moreover, Li Tao could not only use the water prison to trap the enemy, but also protect himself. No matter who was blocked by his water prison, or who was not trapped and was struggling to chop the walls of the water prison with a knife outside, they could not break through this barrier for a while.

The leader of the fire debt handlers was sweating profusely: he certainly knew how to break Li Tao's move - with this level of water elemental power, he only needed to condense a large amount of fire elemental power and use elemental combat skills like he did just now, and he could break the water prison through the evaporation reaction between water and fire. But the water prison broke the people who rushed to Li Tao one by one, forcing him to retreat, and he no longer had the opportunity to threaten the back row.

At this time, Xingqiu was the first to come up with a sword in hand.

"A bunch of ignorant people! You actually want to harm Brother Li? Die!"

The usually gentle boy showed his terrifying side at this moment: his golden eyes became as sharp as a knife, flashing with a cold light, and a feeling of wildness and fanaticism in battle appeared on him for the first time. His sword-swinging movements gradually became more and more open and close, and the Guhua swordsmanship gradually changed, but at this moment his sword was completely moving with his heart——

He was no longer a young man in blue clothes dancing with a sword like a painting, but a cold warrior who moved with his heart and followed the blade! Xingqiu's movements became swift and decisive, and every move revealed a strong aggressiveness and unquestionable dominance. The enemies who were intimidated by him could not survive three moves at all, and four people were killed by him in almost an instant!

Cool, strong, and domineering! Such a spirit even shocked Chongyun, who was fighting with him - he had never seen his friend like this before. Although he was a little worried about his mental state, Chongyun still remembered that he was in a battle now, and some doubts should be resolved after the battle.

The other two girls, however, did not realize so clearly the transformation of Xingqiu during the battle. They only keenly felt that Xingqiu's movements were faster, his sword-holding hand was steadier, and he knocked down more enemies.

As his men were killed one after another, the boss could no longer hold back. "Oh, how is this possible? How is this possible? How can our Fire Debt Handler be defeated by a bunch of little brats like you? I don't believe it!"

"You bastard, no matter how much you bark, you can't change this fact. What are you still dreaming about? Kneel down and die!" Li Tao sneered at him.

At this time, Xingqiu rushed forward with blood all over his body, and said calmly: "Leave this man to me, Brother Li. I will show you that I am capable of protecting you..."

"Gua, you bunch of damn kids, I'm going to scatter you!"

The leader of the Fire Debt Collectors was furious, and once again burst out with all the fire elemental power in his body and soul, trying to fight to the death to escape.

However, Li Tao's [Tao Juan Prison] and Xing Qiu's [Cai Yu Liu Hong] together shattered his dream of escape.

The water flowed and wrapped around his legs; the Rain Curtain Sword kept slashing back and forth, leaving wounds all over his body. The final blow was from Xingqiu.

"Guhua Sword: Clouds and Water Return to the Heart."

At this moment, all the aura on Xingqiu's body suddenly disappeared. That sharp feeling and the aura like that of a terrifying demon god were all like water vapor evaporated by the sun, disappearing into the air.

All that remains is calm water and floating clouds.

Control the sword with your mind, without restraint. When the mind and sword become one, the water flows naturally.

Therefore, it is said: Clouds and water return to the heart, the ultimate of ancient Chinese swordsmanship. The swordsman's heart is as calm as water, penetrating every hole. With one strike, the wind and clouds change color, the sword returns to the heart, and he is unrivaled in the martial arts world.

In this calm sword, the head of the leader of the Fire Debt Handler flew into the sky with a confused look.

After their leader was killed, the remaining Fire Debt Collectors either surrendered in despair or fought desperately and were killed on the spot.

I hope these people can choose their opponents well in their next life and not encounter the brave men jumping out of the mountains again. Li Tao, who was standing at the back, disconnected his [Taojuan Cage] and thought.
