As The Yaksha Rises

A mysterious being

"Ughh.." Xiao woke up as sunlight hit his face.

Trees, a lot of trees.

That's the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes.

He's in a forest.

How in the Celestia did he fucked up this bad.

After all of this happened, Xiao was patrolling Qingyun Peak. While patrolling he sensed an unknown aura at the bottom of the mountain, the Jueyun Karst.

'Abyss?' He thought. 'No, this aura is different from the abyss. It's darker and Disgusting.'

When he arrives he is faced with a shadowy figure and that the aura is now stronger. Xiao hated it, it made his karmic debt more active, slowly triggering his karma.

"Who are you" Xiao questioned the figure

The shadow figure then starts to approach Xiao and quickly attacks him with his sharp and long claws. Xiao quickly blocked his attack with his spear

"You- answer me!"

but the being didn't stop from attacking him. This fighting continued on for Xiao knows how long and it is getting annoying how this figure just appeared out of nowhere, blocking his attacks and attacking him.

The figure then stopped, causing Xiao to be stunned, and then out of nowhere the figure was right behind him and pushed him.

Xiao flinched at what was happening. He tried stepping back but his foot met with no ground, instead there's a big giant hole right below him. Then he quickly got sucked in the hole.

The last thing that Xiao remembers is that figure. standing. smirking at him.
ஐ〰ฺ･:*:･✿ฺ ஐ〰･:*:･･:*:･✿ฺ ஐ〰･:*:･･:*:･✿ฺ ஐ〰･:*:･ஐ〰ฺ･:*:･✿ฺ ஐ〰･:*:･･:*:･✿ฺ ஐ〰･:*:･･:*:･✿ฺ ஐ〰･:*:･

Xiao is so nauseous when he stands up.
'What forest is this? Who is that figure?'
He thought, while balancing himself, gripping from the nearest tree, preventing him from falling.

He has no time to stand around, he needs to get out of here, he needs to wander the forest before it gets dark.
The forest is so big, yet it's quiet. Too quiet to be honest.
Xiao continues to wander the forest, jumping from tree to tree, looking for something, even someone to ask where he is. He is not in Jueyun Karst anymore, he doesn't even know if he's still in Teyvat as the ley lines are faint and the air around him feels different.

It is now dark, yet he is still wandering through the forest. Out of nowhere is quickly attacked by someone. He dodged that figure's attack, setting down to the ground. He is now facing a human? The human looking being is holding an ax and he has a horn in the middle of its forehead and has a slit pupil. 'No, this is not a human' Xiao thought. 'And the aura.... It has the same aura from the shadow figure from before, but this aura is not that strong.'

Still no matter how strong or weak, it still irks Xiao.

"Hehehehe looks like today is my lucky day, A lost human wandering the forest.. All Alonee~" The horned person said cheerfully.

'Human?' Xiao thought, "Who are you?"

"Hmmm?~ my looks like I found myself a dumb human. Well, I'm a demon you see."

"A.. a demon?"

" *sighs* You are a dumb human but still, dumb or not you look delicious" The demon said licking its upper lips.

The demon quickly attacks Xiao with its ax. Xiao quickly summons his spear countering it.

The demon was taken aback from what he saw 'A weapon?, Where-' before he finished his thought. Xiao sliced up the demon's right hand, where the demon is holding its weapon.

Xiao was then shocked as the demon quickly regenerated its right hand.

"Heh- you think you can kill me human? No matter how much you slice me up, you can't kill me with your weak weapon" The demon taunting the Yaksha

Xiao was pissed off by what the demon just said, weak weapon?, how dare that demon call his weapon weak, Rex Lapis gave him this weapon. Calling the weapon weak means disrespecting his God.

The pissed off Xiao activated his vision, with Anemo, he quickly lunges at the demon. The demon startled, causing the demon's body to be sliced in half. Yet the demon was still regenerating, while Xiao kept slicing its body.
'This kid is still at it, why is he not tired yet?' The demon says as sweat drips on his face as he continues to parry Xiao's attack, while getting sliced in half.

Xiao is losing energy, he didn't fully recover from the nauseousness earlier. The faint ley lines didn't help either as his Anemo powers are weak here compared to using it in Teyvat.
The battle between them kept going until a man jumped in and quickly sliced the demon's neck with his katana. The demon's head and body quickly disintegrate into dust causing the Yaksha to be stunned.

The man stood still watching the demon's body turn into dust, then his eyes landed on Xiao, Xiao got a clear look of him. He is wearing a Jinbei kimono with a cloud pattern, he is also wearing a red mask, and holding a katana that he used to slice that demon's neck up.

Due to nauseousness getting back at him and using a lot of Anemo, he quickly loses balance. Instead of meeting the ground, the masked man caught him, then he finally passed out.
