"There's Black Slash, so this should be what happened after Nero returned to the Xianzhou."
Siberian Duck watched the animation and said, "Speaking of which, when I saw the beginning I thought this was a cute promo PV. I didn't expect Hoyoverse to use it to show off their technical skills. Why is the fight animation this detailed?"
[I Use Pantene: Probably to add some more presence to Nero. Even though both are young sword immortals, Nero and Yanqing follow two different paths. Nero usually just acts cute.]
[Nero Is My Husband: Heh... hehehe... hehehehe! @Nero's Sword If I were Black Slash, that would be great. Getting kicked twice like that must feel amazing. Nero's little feet would feel just like a massage! Hehehe!]
[Glue Man: See? With Brother Yellow Pee leading the rhythm like this, Nero's art style can only stay in the cute zone.]
[Belobog Savage: Brother Yellow Pee, you've done all kinds of bad things! @Nero's Sword Can Nero give me one of his two feet?]
[I Use Pantene: There's no saving you... Stop going crazy here!]
At this point, the PV had reached its final stage.
After Blade was knocked flying by a sword strike, Sam rushed forward and started an extremely intense close combat fight with Nero. Kafka was still harassing from the side, but she only got a few shots.
It was probably adjusted by the system assistant to make the animation look more intense, in case sharp eyed players noticed that neither side was actually going all out.
Only at the very end did Kafka get a brief shot that looked like she had received some message from Silver Wolf.
At the same time, Sam and Nero's fight was still going on fiercely.
Sam's thrusters were powerful, but the little sword immortal who could ride the wind clearly had great mobility too. In pure close combat, Sam did not have much advantage either.
Using Two Sleeves Clear Wind, Nero quickly moved behind Sam. Then, with the force of Do Not Disturb, Wander Freely, he forcefully blew the opponent away. Of course, he followed it up with his favorite move, Strutting Through the Market.
Even though he had learned Blade's sword techniques, in this fight, at least half of Nero's moves were jumping slashes.
Being able to combine jumping slashes with other moves so well, one could only sigh at his astonishing talent.
Most sword immortals follow a light and elegant style. Someone as solid and grounded as Nero was rare. But no one ever said a sword immortal could not like jumping slashes, right?
The two main fighters facing Nero head on, Sam and Blade, both felt quite frustrated. It felt like they were being used as practice targets.
The kid in front of them seemed to grow stronger and more excited the longer he fought.
This sudden attack by the Stellaron Hunters had given Nero a lot of real combat experience.
At the final moment, Sam had just landed and had not even steadied himself when he looked up and Nero's jumping slash had already arrived. The sword edge was almost at Sam's face.
Sam instinctively prepared to defend and counterattack. At that moment, Kafka called out, "Listen to me: stop."
As soon as she said that, Sam's movement instantly froze.
The edge of Black Slash pressed down a few more millimeters before stopping just as it was about to smash into Sam.
Then, a fierce gust of wind rolled out.
With one heavy peak strike of the sword, the ground split and tore through the air. The ground under Sam's feet instantly cracked open with a thick fissure that stretched four to five meters into the distance.
Since Kafka had called a stop, Nero naturally stopped as well.
The system said it had blocked the Word Spirit. He did not know whether his acting looked convincing in their eyes.
Nero spun in midair, then sat on Black Slash, looking at Sam, Kafka, and Blade who was walking out of the woods unsteadily while holding his head. "Not fighting anymore?"
The boy's expectant eyes and tone that still wanted more made the corners of the Stellaron Hunters' eyes twitch.
'Damn it, this guy is actually addicted to fighting!'
Sam, who also deeply understood the principle of "Fighting feels great!", was a little moved. The certain beautiful girl inside looked at Nero with a complicated gaze.
Blade, on the other hand, looked at this junior from the Xianzhou with appreciation.
The junior was outstanding, and even somewhat resembled Baiheng. He also had a tireless spirit. Wasn't that good?
At this moment, Blade even had the thought of entrusting himself to the other party. Unfortunately, Elio did not allow it. He still had missions left unfinished.
And rationality made him come to this judgment: thinking in the heat of the moment that the other party could kill him was a wrong idea!
Kafka narrowed her eyes. The negotiation work obviously had to be handled by her. "Mm, we're not fighting anymore. Elio said it's enough. We still have other..."
Kafka did not finish her sentence.
The scene in the video changed and moved outside the cave realm.
Nero walked while muttering softly, "I should just call Jing Yuan over directly. It'll be easier to ask for money that way. I'll go to the Divine Foresight first."
At that moment, a small head suddenly popped out from a nearby house and waved at Nero.
After seeing it, Nero walked over.
Bailu stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Nero and questioning him, "Nero! Why are you late?"
"This young lady has been waiting for you here for half a system hour! Didn't we agree to go play at Aurum Alley today? Do you think it's easy for me to avoid the pursuit from the Alchemy Commission?"
Nero blinked. "Actually, I saw a cat. It wanted to go home with me..."
As he spoke, Nero turned his head back. Bailu also walked around to look, but there was absolutely nothing behind Nero.
"Huh? Where's the cat?"
Nero looked confused, while Bailu beside him showed an angry expression.
The scene shifted again and landed on the black cat wearing a small tie.
The cat walked with its head lowered and returned to the previous cave realm. For some reason, it seemed a little flushed.
After returning to the previous spot, Kafka and Blade, who had been tied up by Nero with wind, along with Sam who was standing there waiting, all looked at the cat.
They said nothing, yet it felt like they had said everything.
The black cat very human like raised its paw to cover its face, then lifted its head and raised its tail. It walked past the calm faced Kafka and Blade, jumped onto Sam's shoulder, and left together with him.
Kafka then suddenly curved her lips into a smile and said, "Bladie, next, let's act according to the plan."
Blade did not speak, but the camera gave a close up shot. Holding the Shattered Sword in his arms, with half of his body under the shade of the trees, Blade looked full of killing intent.
"This ending makes it look like everything was within the Stellaron Hunters' plan! What are they going to do on the Xianzhou?" Siberian Duck was the first to raise a question after finishing the PV.
[Pom-pom: Just continue the remaining bit of your main story and you'll find out, right?]
[Dan-heart Eternal: Exactly!]
Seeing this kind of barrage, Siberian Duck forced out two dry laughs. "If I do it now, it'll definitely cut off at a cliff. I was thinking of waiting until the main story is fully updated and then enjoying it in one go.
"Alright, alright, I get it, stop urging me. I'll do it now, I'll do it now, okay?"
While Siberian Duck was speaking, the video showed one last Easter egg scene.
Inside the Divine Foresight, Bailu was sitting to the side waiting. Nero was stretching out his hand in front of Jing Yuan, while Jing Yuan had a helpless smile on his face.
It looked like in the end, Nero successfully exchanged for some pocket money.
