Perilous Path of Liyue: Bloody Battle & Immortal Traces at Dunyu Ruins
The iron hooves of the Oda army trample the ancient relics of Dunyu Ruins. With a cruel grin, Hosokawa Takafuji corners Aether and his companions into a desperate plight.
Aether is drenched in blood. Yun Jin’s polearm lies broken. Xinyan’s rock-and-roll fire flickers on the verge of dying out, and Yae Miko’s fox tail is stained with dust.
At the critical moment when all hope seems lost, a bolt of thunder crashes down from the firmament. Keqing’s sword glows like a rainbow, Ganyu’s ice lotuses bloom in full splendor, and the Liyue Guerrillas descend like heavenly warriors.
Keqing steadies the staggering Aether, her voice clear and resolute.
“A million main troops of Liyue have assembled at Yilong Harbor in Chenyu Vale. We must make our way there!”
Gazing toward the distant Chenyu Vale, Aether knows well this is no mere retreat — it is a strategic shift that will decide the fate of the entire war…
The crumbling walls of Dunyu Ruins stretch long, twisted shadows beneath the setting sun, resembling the skeleton of a slumbering colossal beast. Once, the ancestors of Liyue mined fine jade here and carved the traces of civilization into the land; now all lies crushed under heavy iron hooves.
The dense ranks of the Oda army spread like an inky stain. Their armor glints with cold harsh light, spears stand as thick as a forest, sealing off the core of the ancient ruins without a single gap. Dust, gunpowder, and a faint scent of blood hang heavy in the air, pressing down on all who breathe.
Hosokawa Takafuji sits tall upon a magnificent black warhorse at the heart of his formation, clad in Nanban-dō gusoku armor with a katana at his waist. Sharp-featured, he wears the mocking smirk of a cat toying with a mouse, his gaze fixed firmly on the figures huddled against a massive shattered jade monument at the center of the encirclement. His elite soldiers have spared no effort hunting them down — and now, the net is fully drawn tight.
“Abandon your futile resistance, outlander traveler, and you too — Liyue’s opera diva and shrine maiden.”
Hosokawa’s voice is low yet resonant, carrying across the battlefield with inner strength.
“To endure my pursuit this far is worthy of pride. Now surrender your power… or your lives.”
Trapped in the circle, Aether gasps heavily. His Edge of the Wind sword is scored with countless cracks. His golden hair clings to his forehead, matted with sweat and dried blood. His white traveler’s garb is tattered all over, stained with mud and dark crimson blood. He stands unyielding at the forefront, shielding his companions behind him.
Behind him, Yun Jin grips her beloved Primordial Jade Winged-Spear tightly, its tip snapped off, leaving only a short broken shaft. Dirt smudges her elegant face, a fresh trail of blood lingering at the corner of her lips. Yet her eyes remain as sharp as they were on her first stage, locked onto the closing enemy lines.
Xinyan kneels half on the ground. Her treasured rock instrument Redfeather lies discarded aside, all its strings snapped. The musical notes symbolizing her fire of freedom and rebellion have faded to dimness; only the unyielding flame in her eyes still burns, though her breath grows weak and labored.
Yae Miko fares slightly better. Her gorgeous shrine maiden robes remain spotless, yet her signature fluffy fox tail is dust-laden, hanging limp and dull behind her. She twirls a ritual wand between her fingers, wearing her usual unfathomable smile — but deep within her eyes lies icy coldness.
“Hmph. Quite the lofty words for a warrior from the Eastern Isles.” Miko chuckles softly, her tone lazy and alluring yet edged with piercing cold. “You may aim to keep us here, but I doubt you have the teeth for it.”
“Shall we test whether my blade is sharp enough!” Losing patience, Hosokawa Takafuji waves his hand sharply.
“Advance! Slay them all!”
The final battle erupts in an instant. Roaring aloud, Aether weaves Anemo and Geo power in alternating bursts, his sword wind howling as he struggles to break the enemy formation. Using her broken spear as leverage, Yun Jin moves with unbroken agility, sweeping the shaft to strike the wrists and ankles of approaching ashigaru, eliciting sharp cracks of breaking bone.
Bracing herself to stand, Xinyan plucks her stringless instrument, letting out one final hoarse rock roar. A faint shockwave of Pyro power barely repels the enemies on the flank. Yae Miko drifts across the battlefield, fox spirit phantoms flickering around her. With each swing of her wand, precise bolts of lightning crash down, searing several Oda arquebusiers into charred, motionless corpses where they stand.
Still, the enemy vastly outnumbers them. The draining of stamina and elemental energy tightens around them like a strangling noose. A samurai captain spots an opening, swinging his heavy nodachi with a mournful whistle toward Aether’s back. Aether parries with his sword, but exhaustion overwhelms him. He staggers backward, a sweet iron taste rising in his throat as he spits another mouthful of blood.
“Aether!” Yun Jin cries out, desperate to rush to his aid, only to be pinned down relentlessly by two other samurai.
Xinyan tries to shield him with her body, taking a spear thrust to the shoulder blade from an ashigaru. She lets out a muffled groan, and the last embers of her rock fire flicker out completely.
A fierce glint flashes in Yae Miko’s eyes. She prepares to unleash a far stronger forbidden spell, disregarding her dwindling power — but Hosokawa Takafuji charges forth himself!
Spurring his warhorse, he draws his katana. A condensed crescent-shaped slash of dark blade force tears through the air, aiming not only at Aether but engulfing Miko, Yun Jin and Xinyan all at once. The killing, destructive will within the blade plummets the surrounding air into bitter cold.
There is nowhere to run.
Aether lifts his sword with his last strength, regret flashing in his eyes. Is this where it all ends?
In this split second of mortal peril —
BOOM!!!
Without warning, deafening thunder booms from the heavens. This is no ordinary storm; it carries the august judgment of divine might. A dazzling bolt of amethyst lightning pierces the firmament like a sword, striking dead-center onto Hosokawa’s fatal dark blade slash.
Lightning collides violently with blade energy, unleashing an earth-shattering roar and blinding radiance. The raging shockwave sends Oda soldiers tumbling wildly across the ground.
Hosokawa Takafuji’s face pales in shock. He reins his horse back, staring up at the sky in bewilderment.
As the lightning fades, a graceful yet nimble figure materializes out of thin air. Dressed in luxurious Liyue robes with flowing cloud-like hems, cat-ear ornaments adorning her head, her long purple hair tied into twin tails billowing in the wind. Her ancient longsword crackles with living Electro energy, illuminating her exquisite face now hardened with frost.
“Keqing!” Aether can barely believe his eyes.
At the same moment, a rain of ice lotuses descends from the sky. Countless translucent ice lotuses with razor-sharp edges materialize out of nowhere, whistling through the air like living projectiles, raining destruction upon the Oda archers and arquebus formations.
“Ugh!”
“My eyes!”
Screams ring out everywhere as Oda’s long-range forces suffer instantaneous catastrophic losses.
Amidst drifting ice lotuses and lingering lightning sparks, a slender blue figure stands silently atop a tall shattered jade pillar nearby. Elegant in bearing, with horns upon her head and a bow forged of frozen bloom in hand, her gaze calm and unwavering — it is Ganyu.
“Reinforcements from Liyue! Loose arrows! Kill them all!” Hosokawa shouts in shock and rage.
Yet his cry is answered by thunderous war roars erupting from the ruins, cliffs and dense forests surrounding Dunyu Ruins. Waves of soldiers clad in Liyue armor and wielding Geo spears surge forth. Swift and perfectly coordinated, they move in groups of three and five, stabbing like sharp daggers into the disorganized Oda ranks. These are no grand frontal army, but guerrillas seasoned in mountain and forest warfare — their arrival turns the tide of battle entirely.
The battlefield devolves into chaotic melee. Familiar with every inch of the terrain and fighting with fearless ferocity, the Liyue Guerrillas split and encircle the unprepared Oda army despite their numerical advantage.
Ignoring the chaos around her, Keqing steps forward in a flash of lightning to reach Aether’s side, steadying his swaying form. She feels his trembling and the thick stench of blood, her heart tightening — yet her expression remains unshakably resolute.
“Hold on, Aether.” Her voice carries unyielding authority, sweeping away his despair and confusion in an instant. “Listen closely. Over a million main troops of Liyue have gathered and fortified their positions around Yilong Harbor in Chenyu Vale. It is now an absolute safe haven. We must retreat there at once.”
Coughing violently, Aether lifts his gaze to meet Keqing’s amethyst eyes. He sees worry within them, but far more resolve and hope. Nodding heavily, he leans on her arm to steady himself.
“Chenyu Vale… Yilong Harbor…” He repeats the names, etching every syllable into his mind.
Ganyu lands gracefully nearby, her ice bow never ceasing to fire precise frost arrows, picking off approaching Oda officers one by one. She turns to Aether’s group, gentle yet urgent.
“Can you still move? We must break through now, while the enemy main force is pinned down by the guerrillas.”
Yae Miko brushes the dust from her fox tail, her enigmatic smile returning.
“It seems fortune has not yet abandoned us.”
Yun Jin picks up her broken spear shaft. Xinyan grits her teeth, yanking the spear from her shoulder and binding the wound tightly with cloth. Battle fire reignites in both their eyes.
Keqing points her longsword toward a weak gap torn open in the Oda formation by the surprise assault, Electro power gathering once more along her blade.
“Follow me! Fight our way out!”
Taking a deep breath, Aether suppresses the searing pain and exhaustion in his body, gripping his broken sword firmly. He casts one final glance westward — toward Chenyu Vale, beyond the layered rolling mountains.
This is no longer a desperate flight, but a purposeful strategic withdrawal. Behind them lie pursuers and gunsmoke; ahead lie hope and a million assembled allies. He knows deeply that their small band carries far more than the fates of a few souls — they hold the very balance of Liyue’s entire war.
“Let us go!”

遁玉陵的残垣断壁,在斜阳的余晖下投下漫长而扭曲的阴影,如同匍匐的巨兽骸骨。昔日璃月先民在此开采璞玉、雕琢文明的痕迹,如今已被沉重的铁蹄踏碎。黑压压的织田军阵如同蔓延的污渍,盔甲反着冷硬的光,长枪如林,将这片古迹的核心区域围得水泄不通。空气中弥漫着尘土、硝石和淡淡的血腥气,压抑得让人喘不过气。

细川孝藤端坐于阵中一匹神骏的黑色战马上,身披南蛮胴具足,腰佩太刀。他面容精悍,嘴角噙着一丝猫捉老鼠般的戏谑狞笑,目光牢牢锁定在包围圈中心那几个背靠着一座巨大残破玉碑的身影上。为了追击这几人,他麾下的精锐可谓不遗余力,如今,网已收紧。
46Please respect copyright.PENANA6qPSOFjKxE
“放弃无谓的抵抗吧,异乡的旅者,还有你们,璃月的伶人与巫女。”细川的声音不高,却带着内力,清晰地传遍战场,“能在我细川孝藤的追击下支撑至此,足以自傲了。现在,献上你们的力量,或者……性命。”
46Please respect copyright.PENANAuS6LECNZxZ
包围圈中心,空剧烈地喘息着,手中的无锋剑已崩开数个缺口,金色的短发被汗水与凝固的血渍黏在额前,那身白色的旅者服更是破损处处,染满尘泥与暗红。他一步不退地站在最前,将同伴护在身后。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAozOW4upFkf
他身后,云堇紧握着她那杆心爱的“磐岩结绿”长枪,枪尖却已折断,只剩短短一截。她俊美的脸庞上沾着灰土,嘴角有一缕未干的血痕,眼神却依旧锐利如初登台时,紧盯着周遭步步紧逼的敌人。辛焱半跪在地,她心爱的摇滚乐器“赤羽”斜在一旁,琴弦尽断,那象征着她自由与反抗之火的摇滚乐符早已黯淡,唯有她眼中不屈的火焰仍在跳跃,但气息已明显萎靡。八重神子情况稍好,她那身华美的巫女服依旧纤尘不染,只是那标志性的、蓬松柔软的狐尾,此刻也沾染了尘土,略显黯淡地垂在身后。她手中捻动着御币,脸上虽还挂着那抹令人捉摸不透的浅笑,但眼神深处已是一片冰寒。
46Please respect copyright.PENANASAOguiLjNb
“呵,东瀛的武士,口气倒是不小。”神子轻笑一声,声音依旧慵懒媚惑,却带着刺骨的凉意,“想留下我们,只怕你的牙口还不够硬。”
46Please respect copyright.PENANALN8q5NmhaA
“够不够硬,试试便知!”细川孝藤失去了耐心,猛地挥手下令,“进攻!格杀勿论!”
46Please respect copyright.PENANAMw3qiGrGDI
最后的战斗瞬间爆发。空怒吼一声,风元素与岩元素的力量交替闪耀,剑风呼啸,试图撕开敌阵。云堇以断枪为支点,身法依旧灵动,枪杆横扫,精准地击打在试图靠近的足轻手腕、脚踝,带起一片骨裂之声。辛焱强撑着站起,拨动无弦的琴身,爆发出最后一声嘶哑的摇滚咆哮,微弱的火元素冲击波勉强逼退了侧翼的敌人。八重神子身影飘忽,狐灵之影闪烁,御币挥动间,道道雷光精准劈落,将数名手持火铳,企图偷袭的织田兵电得浑身焦黑倒地。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAQq1R6KAVVl
然而,敌众我寡,体力与元素力的巨大消耗如同不断收紧的绞索。一名武士队长觑得空隙,沉重的野太刀带着凄厉的风声直劈空的后背。空回剑格挡,却因力竭,被震得踉跄后退,喉头一甜,又是一口鲜血喷出。
46Please respect copyright.PENANA1ztOPG14sk
“空!”云堇惊呼,想要救援,却被另外两名武士死死缠住。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAIvC9b9jnWm
辛焱试图用身体去挡,却被一名足轻的长枪刺中肩胛,闷哼一声,摇滚最后的余烬彻底熄灭。
46Please respect copyright.PENANA3VDneiC0LV
八重神子眼中厉色一闪,正要不顾消耗施展更强力的术法,细川孝藤却已亲自出手!他纵马前冲,太刀出鞘,一道凝练无比的黑色刀气如同新月,撕裂空气,不仅斩向空,更将神子、云堇、辛焱全都笼罩在内!那刀气中蕴含的杀伐与毁灭意志,让四周的温度都骤然下降。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAWOEglZ9xyt
避无可避!
46Please respect copyright.PENANAyaoOfsCHCm
空勉力抬起剑,眼中闪过一丝不甘。难道就要结束在这里?
46Please respect copyright.PENANAPkR6kxGZUq
就在这千钧一发之际——
46Please respect copyright.PENANAfThnyJewuY
“轰隆!!!”
46Please respect copyright.PENANAPJKZMcTLhC
九天之上,毫无征兆地炸响一声惊雷!那雷声并非自然之威,更带着一种煌煌天威般的审判意味。一道璀璨无比的紫色雷光,如同撕裂天幕的利剑,精准无比地直劈而下,不偏不倚,正落在细川孝藤那道必杀的黑色刀气之上!
46Please respect copyright.PENANAO5tNFMzlor
雷光与刀气猛烈碰撞,爆发出震耳欲聋的轰鸣和刺目的光芒,狂暴的气浪将周遭的织田军士掀得人仰马翻。
46Please respect copyright.PENANA2lP6kWTwYs
细川孝藤脸色剧变,勒马后退,惊疑不定地望向天空。
46Please respect copyright.PENANARCDAltpBTU
雷光散尽,一道窈窕矫健的身影凭空出现在场中。她身着华贵的璃月服饰,裙摆如同流云,头戴猫耳状发饰,紫色的长发在脑后束成双马尾,随风飞扬。手中那柄形式古朴的长剑上,雷元素的力量如同活物般滋滋作响,映照着她那张精致却此刻布满寒霜的俏脸。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAwTInFGJoxW
“刻晴!”空几乎不敢相信自己的眼睛。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAqhcZJ2OkXz
与此同时,天空仿佛下起了冰莲之雨。无数晶莹剔透、边缘锋锐如刀的冰棱莲花凭空凝结,带着尖锐的破空声,如同拥有生命般,精准地射向织田军的弓箭手和火铳队阵营。
46Please respect copyright.PENANATMyRq4Q698
“呃啊!”
46Please respect copyright.PENANAR54IprA7by
“我的眼睛!”
46Please respect copyright.PENANAaUU2K5tHuy
惨叫声此起彼伏,织田军的远程力量瞬间遭到毁灭性打击。
46Please respect copyright.PENANA41AJCkrr4t
在纷飞的冰莲与尚未完全消散的雷屑中,一道蓝色身影悄然立于不远处一块高大的残破玉柱顶端。她身姿优雅,头生双角,手中握着一张冰华凝聚的长弓,眼神宁静而坚定,正是甘雨。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAer3y5LIvyS
“是璃月的援军!放箭!杀了他们!”细川孝藤又惊又怒,厉声嘶吼。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAgRUxiiYFam
然而,回应他的是从遁玉陵四周废墟、山崖、密林中爆发的震天喊杀声!无数身穿璃月战甲,手持千岩长枪的士兵如同潮水般涌出,他们行动迅捷,配合默契,三人一组,五人一队,如同锐利的匕首,狠狠插入织田军混乱的阵型之中。这些并非正面决战的大军团,而是精于山地、林地作战的游击队,此刻他们的出现,彻底扭转了战局。
46Please respect copyright.PENANABe1uu7BHUY
战场瞬间陷入混战。璃月游击队凭借对地形的熟悉和悍勇的战斗风格,将人数占优却被打了个措手不及的织田军分割、包围。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAm5jFe9laFW
刻晴没有理会周围的厮杀,她一步踏出,雷光一闪,已来到空的身前,伸手扶住了摇摇欲坠的他。触手之处,旅者身体的颤抖和那浓重的血腥气让她的心猛地一揪,但她脸上的表情却坚毅无比。
46Please respect copyright.PENANA3CsiSmAGnI
“空,撑住!”她的声音清晰而坚定,带着一种不容置疑的力量,瞬间驱散了空心中些许的绝望与迷茫,“听着,璃月的一百多万主力军,此刻都已在沉玉谷遗珑埠一带完成集结布防!那里现在是绝对的安全区,我们必须立刻向那里转移!”
46Please respect copyright.PENANA2KuGEwlPUS
空剧烈地咳嗽着,抬起头,对上刻晴那双紫水晶般的眼眸。他从那眼中看到了担忧,但更多的是决然和希望。他重重地点了点头,借助刻晴的手臂站稳身体。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAwq2ehzC1WP
“沉玉谷……遗珑埠……”他重复着这个名字,仿佛要将每一个音节都刻入脑海。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAYOrll3ECom
甘雨也轻盈地落下,手中长弓不停,道道冰矢精准点杀着试图靠近的织田军官。她看向空一行人,目光温和却带着紧迫:“还能行动吗?我们必须趁敌军主力被游击队缠住,立刻突围。”
46Please respect copyright.PENANAz5DewB77dl
八重神子轻轻拂去狐尾上的尘土,笑容重新变得意味深长:“看来,运气还没有完全抛弃我们呢。”云堇拾起半截枪杆,辛焱也咬牙拔掉肩胛的长枪,用布条死死捆住伤口,两人眼中重新燃起战意。
46Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ5paeB6vG
刻晴长剑指向织田军阵型因突然袭击而产生的一个薄弱环节,雷光再次于剑刃上汇聚:“跟我来!杀出去!”
46Please respect copyright.PENANAK8S0XfIVwL
空深吸一口气,压下身体的剧痛和疲惫,握紧了手中残破的剑。他最后望了一眼西方——那是沉玉谷的方向,层峦叠嶂的群山之后。
46Please respect copyright.PENANARDAvdoKxRQ
这一次,不再是绝望的奔逃,而是目标明确的战略转移。身后是追兵与硝烟,前方是希望与集结的百万大军。他深知,他们这支小小的队伍,此刻承载的,已不仅仅是几个人的生死,更可能牵引着整个璃月战局的走向。
