"How… how did it shrink?!"
Seeing the scene, Keqing froze for a moment.
But she quickly understood what had happened.
The Jade Chamber had grown because of the fake Peace Star.
Now that it shrank, the only explanation was—the fake Peace Star had expired.
Sigh…
"I didn't expect Ningguang's fake Peace Star to be such poor quality."
Keqing sighed deeply.
Without the fake Peace Star, the Jade Chamber clearly couldn't defeat Beisht.
Since that was the case, they would have to rely on their own strength.
"Prepare yourselves. Wait for my command!"
"Yes!"
The Millelith soldiers were immediately fired up.
Meanwhile, on the other side,
Kazuha also twitched slightly at the strange situation.
"Sis… looks like we'll have to step in."
"Yeah… get ready."
Beidou rubbed her forehead and sighed.
Ningguang's luck was really terrible today.
She had already bragged to her crew about the Jade Chamber weapon.
And this was the result?
How was she supposed to brag to them next time?
No way—next time they met, she was definitely going to tease Ningguang about this.
Meanwhile, Ningguang herself was completely stunned.
Although she had prepared herself mentally beforehand, actually witnessing this situation still left her somewhat depressed.
This experience card expired way too fast…
"Boss Han, it seems my fake Peace Star isn't very high quality."
Ningguang looked slightly resentful.
Compared to Childe's fake Peace Star, hers was clearly inferior.
"Well, they're fake after all."
"Their effects naturally vary."
Han Feng said calmly.
He wasn't surprised by the result.
In B-Robo Kabutack (Iron Beetle Kabutack),
fake Peace Stars were simply stones influenced by the real Peace Star when it slept on Earth.
Depending on distance and conditions, the influence differed.
So the duration of fake Peace Stars being different was perfectly normal.
"Sigh… next time I'll definitely get a real one."
Ningguang sighed.
Even though she had only used it for one day, she had already grown fond of the enlarged Jade Chamber.
It was huge.
Durable.
Capable of offense and defense.
And even had intelligent features.
Now looking at the current Jade Chamber—small and fragile, it felt completely awkward.
The Jade Chamber: …
Meanwhile, in the sea,
Beisht saw the change and her eyes lit up with excitement.
That floating structure before her was the thing that had ended her husband's life.
She had originally planned to risk everything to avenge him.
But earlier, the enormous pressure from the giant Jade Chamber had made her hesitate.
Now—it had shrunk.
The threat was gone.
She could finally take revenge.
A cold glint flashed in Beisht's eyes.
ROAR!
A massive blue energy sphere formed inside her mouth.
Lightning crackled around it.
Its power was terrifying.
Once the energy reached its peak,
Beisht lifted her head—and unleashed a gigantic blue beam toward the Jade Chamber.
Without the fake Peace Star's reinforcement, a direct hit would cause severe damage.
"Not good!"
Ningguang immediately noticed the attack and quickly maneuvered the Jade Chamber aside.
BOOM!!!
A thunderous explosion erupted.
The beam still struck the Jade Chamber—but fortunately Ningguang reacted quickly.
It didn't hit the core.
A lucky escape.
"The Jade Chamber plan has failed. We'll have to use the backup plan."
Ningguang's expression turned serious as she picked up her phone to contact Keqing and Beidou.
The phone Beidou carried had been given by her specifically for communication.
But at that moment—
"I'll try."
Han Feng suddenly spoke.
Excitement flashed in his eyes.
Originally, he had stayed out of the battle because Ningguang wanted to smash Beisht with the Jade Chamber.
But now that the experience card had expired, his hands were itching to act.
Ever since obtaining the Zhuxian Sword Formation, he hadn't tested its power yet.
This seemed like a good opportunity.
Of course—
Beisht didn't require the full formation.
He didn't even need one of the actual swords.
Beisht wasn't even truly a god.
She was merely a powerful sea monster.
Not even comparable to the Thief Saint.
After all—
even the Zhuxian Sword Formation couldn't kill that "saint."
With a thought, an immense sword intent began radiating from Han Feng.
It instantly spread across the entire sea.
Under Han Feng's control, it wasn't as exaggerated as the previous time.
But the pressure was still overwhelming.
"This… this sword's intent!"
Ningguang stared in shock.
So it really was him.
The terrifying sword aura that had appeared before— had indeed been released by Boss Han.
She had only suspected it before.
Now she finally had confirmation.
Han Feng ignored Ningguang's shock.
With a slight movement of his finger, the sword intent gathered together.
Soon, it condensed into a giant sword over one hundred meters long.
It hovered above Beisht's head, radiating terrifying pressure.
As if this sword could cut through all illusions and obstacles.
"What… what is this?!"
Fear filled Beisht's eyes.
She could feel overwhelming danger from that sword.
If it struck—she would die instantly.
Terror flooded her mind.
She wanted to flee immediately.
But under the crushing pressure,
she couldn't move.
"Go."
Han Feng said softly.
The hundred-meter giant sword instantly descended.
Beisht had no chance to react—and was split cleanly in half.
But the sword's power didn't stop there.
Its remaining force continued downward.
When it struck the ocean, it unleashed colossal waves.
At the point of impact, a massive fissure formed in the sea.
It was as if the ocean itself had been split apart.
Only after a long while did the waters finally calm.
"That sword's intent… is terrifying."
Keqing stared in shock.
But soon—her shock turned into admiration.
After all, she herself was a sword practitioner.
She knew exactly how impossible such a feat was.
"I wonder who unleashed that sword?"
She began searching the sky.
Soon—she spotted a familiar figure.
"Boss Han?! He's here?!"
Keqing was stunned.
If he was here, then that sword strike must have been his.
Although Keqing already knew how powerful Boss Han was, seeing such overwhelming sword power still shook her deeply.
But then—she noticed something else.
"Wait… why is Boss Han standing together with Ningguang?"
After thinking for a moment, the answer became obvious.
Boss Han would never come here on his own.
That meant only one thing—
Ningguang invited him.
Remembering Ningguang's invitation from yesterday, Keqing suddenly clenched her teeth.
We're all hiding here preparing for battle…
And you two are in the Jade Chamber enjoying a scenic date?!
Mixed with her anger— was a trace of jealousy that even Keqing herself hadn't noticed.
