Primis: By the way, you did a good job.

Saying he put his hand on Ei's shoulder. And in the next second, she was engulfed in a blue aura which not only healed all of her minor injuries but also recovered her reserve and mental fatigue before returned her dishevel appearance back to her perfect state.

As Ei and everyone were looking at her astonishment, Primis turned his head towards the direction of 'demon' who was glaring menacing at them.

SWOOSH!!!

'Demon' then moved and attacked Primis with its new speed.

On the other hand, Primis just tilted his head to the side and dodged it. This made the 'demon' to show an expression of surprise for an instant but it didn't stop.

Moving its hand back, she continued attacking with consecutive stabs.

STAB!!

STAB!!

STAB!!

STAB!!

STAB!!

....

…

Too bad, the result remained the same as all of her attacks were dodged by Primis.

Just when she was about to continue, Primis hand moved for the first time and punched her at her gut faster than she could even react.

BAM!!!

Shenhe(Demon): ARGH!!!

The force behind the hit threw 'demon' away like an artillery.

SWOOSH!!!

BANG!!!

BANG!!!

BANG!!!

BANG!!!

....

…

BOOM!!!!

She broke tens of buildings on the way before finally smashing on a shore.

Ningguang, Ganyu, and the soldiers all felt their scalp turned numb witnessing this.

They never expected that a single punch of Primis held this much power.

Only Ei remained as calm as always. Since she knew that the strength Primis displayed was merely a fraction of his real strength.

.

.

.

At the shore.

Primis appeared at the edge of the crater that was formed when the 'demon' fell here and was now looking at her who was in the middle.

That punch broke most of her ribs and organs. Normal Shenhe would probably have died at the spot after receiving that blow. However, she was not normal but 'demon' Shenhe.

Not only she didn't die, the 'demon' even forced herself back on her feet as blood was dripping down from the corner of her mouth.

Other might not be able to see what was happening inside her but Primis do.

All of Shenhe internal injuries were healing rapidly, thanks to her demonic power.

Though while looking at Primis, more rage appeared in her eyes as she again launched herself towards him without even bothering to recover more.

SWISH!!

BAM!!

CRACK!!

Shenhe(Demon): Grbh!!

But the moment she moved again, a fist smashed right into her face.

It broke her skull and almost destroyed her brain.

In other words, she almost died again.

FWOOOSH!!!

This time she body passed the sea surface and smashed on the rock in the distance.

BANG!!

When she was plastered on the rock, Primis appeared on front of her again while standing on the water.

Primis: Is that it?

He asked calmly but it made the 'demon' which was about to lose consciousness to be active again.

As a result, more demonic aura started coming out. This time, even the area around them started to shake because of her pressure.

Shenhe(Demon): GRRR!!!

Growling she threw her spear at Primis with full force.

FWOOSH!!

Though just when spear was about to touch him, Primis casually grabbed it.

But it didn't end there. Just after grabbing, he spun and threw the spear back to the 'demon'.

FWOOSH!!

STAB!!

Before the 'demon' could do anything, its own spear thrusted right through her.

BANG!!

BANG!!

BANG!!

...

…

BOOOM!!!

It took her with it and smashed her through many rocks before finally impaling her on a mountain.

Another encounter with death.

This time, her rage had subsided a lot as she looked at her spear in her chest.

DING!!

Landing on the spear, Primis looked down at the 'demon' and asked coldly.

Primis: Are you going to submit?

Shenhe(Demon): ...…

She didn't answer. She could accept her death, but she won't submit.

Noticing the determination still left in her eyes, instead of getting angry, Primis become happy.

'Primis: Yes. That's exactly the thing I want to see.'

He moved back as his feet left the spear which he pulled out.

THUCH!!

SPLURT!!

Blood gushed out of her chest when the spear was removed. This made her lose consciousness even faster.

But it wasn't over.

When her vision was about to be swallowed in darkness, Primis landed another punch.

BAM!!!

BANG!!!

Shenhe(Demon): Kah!!

The mountain she was impaled on broke into pieces and this time, she smashed on the surface of the sea before she penetrated into water with high speed and finally smashed on the sea bed below.

BOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

A huge crater appeared on it with 'demon' laying in the centre.

This time the damage was on a whole different level. Both inside and outside. It was to the point that even the 'demon' healing failed to restore it.

SWISH!!!

The 'demon' didn't even get the moment to collect herself as Primis also entered the sea and landed on with his legs around and 'demon' in the middle. And without wasting any time, he punched her again.

BAM!!!!!!!!!!!

BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!

CRACK!!!

The sea around them swept away and cracks started appearing underneath the 'demon' body.

SHINE!!

Next, blue flames started gathering and condensing into Primis eyes and he unleashed his "Zenith Vision".

VROOM!!!

THUCH!!

SPLURT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shenhe(Demon): ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 'demon' screamed loudly as one of her arms was completed severed from her shoulder. And since Primis had no intention of listening to her screaming, he punched again.

BAM!!!

Shenhe(Demon): Grrbh!!!

Primis: I have my fair share of experience in taming beast. I would love to apply some of those techniques on you. So, don't break soon.

Hearing this, for the first time, fear appeared in the 'demon' eyes as dread gripped her heart. She can tell, her nightmare had just begun.

.

.

.

.

A few hours later.

EI was meditating at the shore while waiting for Primis return.

She completely ignored all the people in the distance who were looking at her while holding their weapons tightly in their hands.

However, anyone can see the fear in their eyes. As their body were trembling and cold sweat covered their back.

The person in front of them not only defeated Yuheng of the Liyue Qixing i.e., Keqing but also defeated all the Adepti alone. So, how couldn't they feel fearful in her presence.

It was mostly thanks to their will to protect Liyue that they were even able to stood on their ground.

At this time, Ei opened her cold purple eyes.

Everyone tensed up thinking she was about to attack.

Nevertheless, Ei didn't even bother to even give a glance at their direction. Her eyes were only the sea in front.

Suddenly, space wrapped and Primis appeared.

He was holding unconscious Shenhe by her waist at his right. Her hand and foot were dangling down in the air and her long hair also covered her entire face while touching the ground. He was carrying like some rice sack.

Looking at Shenhe's current condition, the faces of people of Liyue turned pale.

Not only Shenhe was missing an entire arm and leg, the remaining one where also missing 1/3rd and 2/3rd. On top of that, many bloody holes were all over her body. One can even see the other side while looking at those holes. She was completely covered in blood head to toe.

If not because of her weak breathing, one would have thought she was died.

Actually, she would have died countless times. It's because of Primis mercy and 'demon' vitality that she remained alive till now.

Ei didn't care about Shenhe condition one bit. On the contrary, she only gave her a single glance before turning her attention to Primis.

Ei: Are you ok?

She asked so softly that whoever knew Ei heard this would start doubting whether they were having some hearing problem or not.

Looking at her, Primis nodded.

Primis: Yeah. We are done, let's go.

Ei: Ok.

She answered and started following him.

Though they didn't even complete ten steps when someone stopped them from behind.

???: Wait! Please!

Pausing their steps, they glanced back at the half-adeptus.

Primis: What do you want?

Hearing, his cold voice, Ganyu shivered but still gathered her courage to spoke.

Ganyu: T-The condition of Shenhe is not g-g-g-good. She could d-d-die any second.

Primis: And?

Ganyu: Can you let me h-h-h- heal her?

Primis: No.

Ganyu: W-Why!

Primis: You should better go back to help your fellow Adepti. Since Shenhe is mine now, I will take care of her myself.

Ganyu: Y-Yours…

Primis: This is price for sparing the lives of those Adepti.

Ganyu: Wha---

Without waiting for her response, Primis and Ei continued.

Ganyu: What do you want in order to let me heal her?

Pausing again, he asked.

Primis: Why are you so obsessed with this?

Ganyu: ...............We both are raised and trained by Cloud Retainer. Even though we didn't meet before and only heard from Cloud Retainer, one way or another we are sisters......Hence, I don't want to see like this.

Primis: Oh. What if I declined?

Ganyu: ....... What do you want in order for you to let me?

Primis: You have nothing to offer.

Ganyu: I have.

Primis: And what is it?

Ganyu: ............. Myself.
