Chapter 44 The Sword, the Source of Power

Just a week ago, the Abyss Mages split into two groups, seeking opportunities to create chaos in Liyue and Mondstadt respectively.

By now, the Abyss Mage's plan has been largely successful.

The abyss mages in the underground mines watched with smug satisfaction as these subterranean creatures reacted.

Run, run, go out and wreak havoc!

What they didn't know was that this underground mining area was about to collapse!

The underground mining area, quiet and secluded for a long time, lacks sunlight. The environment is too dark and damp, making the earth extremely fragile.

Rumble!

What's that noise?

The abyss mages, who were clapping and cheering for completing their mission, were taken aback by the sudden and violent tremor.

"Damn it, there are too many monsters here, which caused the collapse. Let's run!"

After saying this, the abyss mages hurriedly fled from the deepest part of the underground mine, desperately trying to find a way to climb higher.

Clang! Boom!

The ceiling couldn't withstand the tremors and collapsed, crashing to the ground and triggering a chain reaction that completely destroyed the Abyss Mage's escape route.

What should we do now?

The abyss mages helplessly dodged the falling rubble, their eyes filled with despair.

Mondstadt, Temple of the Thousand Winds.

“Ying, this sword has stood here for a hundred years. As an honorary knight, I believe you can pull it out.”

Yura looked at Ying expectantly and pointed to a sword in front of her whose hilt was exposed.

"Uh... I guess it really does take effort. Well, I'll give it a try!"

Having said that, Ying rubbed her hands together eagerly, and with each step she took closer to the sword, the light in her eyes grew stronger.

"Go for it, Ying!"

Paimon, equally excited, raised his hands and punched the air in support.

Suppressing her excitement, Ying gently stretched out her hands and firmly grasped the hilt of the sword.

The next second, Ying suddenly half-squatted and fell backward with all her might, gripping the sword hilt tightly with both hands.

"Sword, come out here! Ouch! Ouch!"

Not only was Ying surprised, but even Paimon, who was cheering from the side, was surprised. Ying exerted her strength for less than two seconds, and the sword was easily pulled out like a straw in water.

Immediately afterwards, Ying lost her balance in a daze and fell backward to the ground. The pain made her rub her head in frustration.

"Yura, has this sword really remained undrawn for a hundred years?"

Ying quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, pouted, and angrily questioned Yura.

"Of course. Because this sword is so old and worn that even the treasure-hunting gang didn't want to take it!"

"what?"

Upon hearing her words, Ying hesitated before picking up the sword from the ground and examining it carefully.

This precious sword was completely dull and lifeless. The blade was badly damaged.

"What a broken sword... sigh..."

"Haha, Ying, I was just kidding. I brought you here, and I'm not lying. This sword only needs to be infused with three elemental forces to return to its original form! So, such a powerful sword is naturally beyond the reach of anyone. But because of your special circumstances, you are able to control three elemental forces, so this sword truly belongs to you."

"what?"

Ying was so embarrassed by the praise that she immediately forgot the pain from hitting her head on the ground.

"Ying, why don't you give it a try?"

After hearing Yura's words, Paimon urged Ying with anticipation, wanting to see what the real sword looked like.

Under the curious gazes of Qiqi, Paimon, and Yura, Ying gripped the sword firmly with both hands, remaining steadfast.

Half a minute later, Ying suddenly opened her eyes, and the next second, three beams of light of different colors appeared on her head.

Three beams of light—green, brown, and purple—shot straight into the sky. The next second, the sword detached from Ying's hand and flew into the sky on its own. The three beams of light seemed to have received its call and flew towards it, continuously surging into the sword.

Meanwhile, Ying on the ground grew increasingly weak due to the continuous release of elemental energy.

"Drink up!"

Ying gritted her teeth stubbornly, and with great effort, she kept increasing the strength in her legs until she was able to stand firmly.

Yingqiang held on for three minutes, but finally couldn't take it anymore.

Clearly, she underestimated the sword's power; even after she exhausted all her elemental energy, the sword showed no sign of stopping its absorption.

"fluorescent!"

Paimon and Yura exclaimed in unison. The next second, Yura rushed over and supported Ying, who had fainted due to exhaustion of her elemental power.

After absorbing the elemental power released by Ying, the sword fell heavily from the sky and shattered into pieces.

"Ying? Ying! Are you alright? Don't scare me! If something happened to you, how am I going to explain it to Commander Qin?"

Yura panicked and began to blame herself.

Feeling lost, she gently patted Ying's cheek repeatedly, trying to wake her up.

Paimon, moved by Yura's emotions, also began to speak.

"Luminous, aren't you still looking for your brother? Aren't you still traveling through the Seven Kingdoms? Haven't you asked Paimon to come with you to your world yet? Luminous, I won't let anything happen to you... Luminous!"

Qi Qi, standing to the side, watched the two people's exaggerated performance in silence, lost in thought.

After falling into a coma, Ying entered a dream.

Looking around, Ying found herself in a magnificent palace.

The ceiling was studded with countless diamonds. And the floor was paved with gold!

"Treasure?"

Ying rubbed her eyes in surprise, wondering if she was dreaming.

"Smack!"

Ying slapped herself hard across the face. Well... she really couldn't feel any pain!

"It's really a dream..."

"The mysterious power that awakened me, could it be such a weak woman as you?"

Before Ying could react, a huge energy body appeared behind her.

Ying was so startled by the sudden sound that she almost woke up!

The source of the sound was the primal power within the sword.

"who are you?"

Ying cautiously retreated while assuming a fighting stance.

"You're quite an interesting person. If you don't recognize me, why did you activate the sword and awaken me?"

Having said that, the primal force approached Ying with a puzzled look, preparing to hear her explanation.

As Ying saw it getting closer, she instinctively punched it in the stomach out of fear.

"This...this is...this is actually...!!!"

After being punched by Ying, the primordial power did not become angry or embarrassed. Instead, it stopped in its tracks, excitedly babbling incoherently as it carefully sensed the energy that had just been transmitted from Ying.

The next second, the primal power's eyes revealed endless fear. Before it could even catch its breath, it immediately knelt down without hesitation, kowtowed violently, and apologized to Ying, whose face was full of question marks.
