Chapter 50 – Qiu Bai, Who Is No Match for Childe

Lumine stared blankly at Qiu Bai, who stood shielding her.

She couldn’t understand why Qiu Bai, who had seemed so weak just moments ago, had suddenly become so powerful.

Childe and Qiu Bai appeared evenly matched—Childe’s side erupted with wild bursts of Hydro and Electro Elements, while Qiu Bai’s side erupted with an ink-white aura, making it difficult to determine who held the upper hand!

And at that moment…

“Qiu Bai, I’ll help you!”

Lumine, holding her Dull Blade, used Geo Element to create a meteorite that she hurled toward Childe.

Her Dull Blade was infused with Anemo Element as she thrust it toward Childe!

Childe, who was locked in combat with Qiu Bai, saw the meteorite falling from above and swiftly retreated backward.

The meteorite crashed into the ground, creating a crater.

Childe then turned his gaze toward Lumine, who was charging at him, and unleashed a wave of Electro and Hydro Elements!

Lumine dodged the attack with a swift movement.

Then, with her Dull Blade infused with Anemo Elemental Power, she charged toward Childe!

Seeing Lumine rushing toward him, Childe gripped his polearm and charged forward, unwilling to back down!

Clang!

After a resounding clash!

Sparks flew as Lumine and Childe exchanged several more blows.

“Hey, Lumine, don’t steal my mission!”

Qiu Bai, standing behind her, twitched the corner of his mouth.

Then, with a swift movement, he also charged forward with his sword, slashing toward Childe!

Childe raised his polearm to block the combined attack from Qiu Bai and Lumine!

Sparks flew between their weapons, and suddenly, Childe forcefully retreated backward.

Hydro Element gathered wildly on his weapon as he stared at Lumine and Qiu Bai.

“Foul Legacy: Raging Tide!”

A deep, ethereal voice echoed from the depths of the sea.

A massive whale formed from Hydro Element surged from Childe’s weapon, lunging toward Qiu Bai and Lumine!

Qiu Bai looked at the Hydro Element whale and smiled faintly.

Back when he played the game, this whale had defeated him many times, but now…

Yin-Yang Dual Qi swirled in Qiu Bai’s hands, rotating faster and faster.

He then launched it toward the whale before him. The Yin-Yang Dual Qi spun rapidly in the air, accelerating with each rotation!

From the Primordial Chaos emerged the Two Polarities, from the Two Polarities emerged the Four Symbols, and from the Four Symbols emerged the Eight Trigrams—all in an instant!

Qiu Bai’s attack transformed into an Eight Trigrams formation, blocking Childe’s massive whale.

The ink-white aura emanating from the Eight Trigrams collided fiercely with Childe’s Hydro Element whale!

A shockwave erupted from the point of impact between the two attacks!

Lumine, standing beside them, was forced several steps backward by the shockwave.

Paimon, who was farther away, was nearly blown away.

“I never expected Mr. Qiu Bai to possess such formidable combat prowess!”

“In that case, I won’t hold back any longer!”

Childe, seeing Qiu Bai holding his ground against him, spoke with a tone brimming with intense fighting spirit!

He then activated the power of his Delusion, channeling Electro Elemental Power wildly into the whale!

The pale blue whale instantly turned purple, surrounded by raging Electro Elemental Power!

Qiu Bai gritted his teeth, using all his strength to hold his ground. The stone floor beneath his feet cracked under the pressure!

“This Childe is much stronger than before.”

“Is it because of my sister’s Authority that extends lifespan?”

Qiu Bai wondered inwardly. After all, in the game…

Childe had never used this move—a whale infused with Electro Element.

“Qiu Bai, I’ll help you!”

Lumine rushed forward from behind, her hands gathering Anemo Element to help block Childe’s attack!

She shouted to Qiu Bai, who was nearly out of power beside her.

Hearing this, Qiu Bai twitched the corner of his mouth.

“Lumine, do you know how difficult it is to control power without killing someone?”

“With you joining in, I have to lower my power again.”

Qiu Bai thought helplessly to himself, yet he felt a warmth in his heart.

“Mr. Qiu Bai!”

“You should just give up. You can’t defeat me!”

Childe spoke while exerting his power.

“Ab…absolutely not!”

“I will never give up!”

Qiu Bai wore an expression of giving it his all as he held his ground against Childe.

The three of them remained locked in this stalemate for about five minutes.

During this time, Lumine’s stamina gave out, and she supported herself with one hand on the ground, panting heavily.

But Qiu Bai continued with the same determined expression, holding his ground against Childe.

Childe stared blankly at Qiu Bai, who had been looking constipated for the past five minutes.

“Why does he have such good stamina?”

“Damn it, my power is almost depleted.”

Childe was nearly breaking down inside, unable to understand how Qiu Bai could hold on for so long.

Just then, a voice echoed in Qiu Bai’s mind as he desperately resisted.

“Ding!”

“Congratulations, host, for completing the system mission!”

Hearing this sound, Qiu Bai’s constipated expression relaxed into a relieved smile.

It was as if being hit by Childe’s attack didn’t matter anymore.

“Now’s the time!”

“His power is exhausted!”

Childe’s face lit up with joy as he could feel Qiu Bai’s attack weakening significantly.

Then, with a surge of determination, Childe unleashed a violent mix of Electro Elemental Power and a Hydro Element whale, forcefully shattering Qiu Bai’s defensive formation!

Seeing the whale before him, Qiu Bai’s face turned pale.

He glanced at Lumine, who was still staring blankly at the massive whale.

In an instant, he pushed the dazed Lumine several meters into the air.

“Qiu… Qiu Bai!!”

Lumine shouted from mid-air, reaching out to pull Qiu Bai back.

In Lumine’s widening pupils, Qiu Bai was struck hard by the long-accumulated attack!

The powerful momentum sent Qiu Bai crashing into the wall of the Golden House’s second floor.

He shattered the stone behind him before finally colliding with a rock!

Qiu Bai’s clothes were now tattered as he clutched his chest, trembling, and forced himself to stand up.

Slowly, he walked toward Childe and Lumine.

As soon as Qiu Bai saw Lumine, Childe, and Paimon—

“Pfft.”

Under the extremely worried gazes of Lumine and Paimon, Qiu Bai spat out a mouthful of blood.

He managed a weak smile toward Paimon and Lumine in the distance.

Thud!

Then, Qiu Bai’s body sank heavily as he collapsed to the ground.

Paimon seemed startled, her eyes wide as she covered her mouth with her hands.

Immediately, she flew toward Qiu Bai at top speed.

Her small hands shook Qiu Bai’s body repeatedly, but he showed no signs of movement.

“Qiu Bai, Qiu Bai, don’t die!”

“Waaah, Paimon will never talk behind your back again.”

Paimon placed a small hand under Qiu Bai’s nose.

“Ah!”

Unable to feel his breath, Paimon froze in mid-air, terrified.

Lumine also stared blankly at Qiu Bai lying on the ground.

An indescribable rage exploded within her heart.

Turning to face Childe, Lumine held her Dull Blade infused with the Anemo Element, while her right hand gathered the Geo Element.

She charged fiercely toward Childe, launching her attack!

At this moment, Childe’s strength was already nearly depleted. He froze for an instant as he saw Lumine rushing toward him.

Yet he still forced himself to maintain his Foul Legacy Transformation, engaging in a fierce struggle with Lumine.
