Chapter 891 The root of fatality!
"Pfft... bah!"
Qiana, buried in the yellow sand, raised her head cautiously, spit out the sand in her mouth, and looked around in confusion.
She remembered that the terrifying witch spirit flying in the air had just launched a devastating attack on the entire Vikola, and her "teacher" Sewell teleported over to hold up the magic shield and patted her shoulder the moment the shield was broken.
She couldn't see clearly what happened next. She only felt sand and dust hitting her face. If she hadn't instinctively used magic to defend herself, the queen would have been disfigured.
I shouldn't have stayed, that was a war for the gods. She muttered to herself, nervously searching the surroundings with magic...Will Sewell get into trouble because of trying to protect me?
Wait, where am I?
What about Vikaura?
What's that Grand Canyon in the distance?
After being stunned for a few seconds, her mouth slowly opened, and then... another mouthful of sand filled up.
……
So the girl was left behind as a 'bait'?! Nasus was completely surprised by what he saw.
What surprised him even more was the power that Ji Xing possessed. It seemed that Xerath, who he and Renekton had not been able to defeat together, was at a disadvantage from beginning to end. In this battle, the help he provided was minimal.
This human mage is far stronger than ordinary Ascended, stronger than Renekton and me. Even the mighty Shurima has never seen such a precedent. Since the legendary three ice sisters in ancient times, a mage with the power to challenge the gods has once again appeared among humans? !
Seeing Xerath disappear in the flames of Ji Xing, Nasus, holding a long axe, was shocked and surprised, but he did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he shouted: "Be careful! The witch spirit is not that easy to kill!"
Of course Ji Xing knew.
Boom! A purple lightning bolt fell from the sky, instantly defeating the Zerath that had re-condensed behind Ji Xing. Zerath then let out a shrill and painful howl!
Click——click——
Similar things happened again and again. No matter where the witch energy escaped to and reunited, it was greeted by a powerful thunder, and the already traumatized Zeratul was unable to resist at all.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Xing defeated him six times, and the dark energy in the sky weakened a lot. When Zeratul appeared in the sky for the seventh time and was defeated, Ji Xing frowned slightly and saw a piece of ancient sarcophagus fragment struggling under the thunder, and finally collapsed into fragments and fell into the yellow sand!
As an ancient witch spirit, Zerath is already an energy life form, or it can be said that he is an aggregate of dark energy. What binds these energies together are the chains on his body and the fragments of the sarcophagus. That is his true body!
The previous defeats of the energy bodies weakened Xerath, but this time the shattering of the sarcophagus fragments dealt a heavy blow to Xerath.
But it shouldn't be this fast.
Although their combat power is only at the "nation-destroying" level, these guys with the blood of ascension do have an ability similar to rebirth by a drop of blood.
But even if you kill him seven times, it won't hurt his essence, unless he did it on purpose.
Actively throw out part of the body to escape.
Sure enough, when Zerath appeared again, he was already in the sky above the other end of the canyon, more than ten kilometers away. Ji Xing's magic could certainly cover him, but it was not enough to defeat him across such a distance.
The wizard power of Xerath who appeared there was obviously dimmed a lot, and he immediately fled away from Ji Xing and Nasus.
At the same time, he left a harsh message: "I won't let you go!! Mage!"
“We can’t let him escape!” Nasus certainly would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he ran after him immediately.
Ji Xing would not fight for a long time and then let an enemy who was targeting him escape.
With the blessing of the staff, his flying speed was like a meteor, quickly closing the distance between him and Zerath. Zerath looked back, his energy face was distorted, and it accelerated like burning.
Two of the three were in the air, and one was running on land, quickly leaving the canyon behind and crossing a large area of yellow sand. After a few dozen miles, Ji Xing suddenly felt something and threw out a card from his sleeve.
"come yet?"
A truly deadly threat?
Boom! !
Suddenly there was a muffled explosion, and Zeratul, who was flying in the front, fell into the yellow sand like a cannonball, causing the yellow sand to roll and float!
Nasus paused.
Ji Xing was also hovering in the air.
Zeratul emerged from the dust in a panic, shocked and annoyed: "Who is it?!"
His energy body dimmed again, proving that the previous attack also broke his defense. With a wolf behind him and a tiger in front of him, he felt a fatal threat for the first time.
No! I was Azir's slave for decades in my previous life, so I should be his master in this life! I just escaped from this predicament, how could I die here?!
The witch power in his body surged, and his momentum rose violently back to its peak, stirring up waves of sand that swept away the surrounding sand sea, revealing a figure in front of him.
Its height was comparable to that of Nasus, with a burly and strong build, like a mobile war fortress, and its body was covered with heavy black armor engraved with ancient and strange runes. These runes emitted a faint but disturbing red light in the beating sand and dust, as if carrying endless rage and wailing!
He held a huge blade in his hand, and his head was covered by a huge, strangely shaped helmet, revealing only a pair of fiery red eyes and horns. Behind him, a pair of broad, dark wings spread out, like the wings of a bat in the night!
"Aatrox?!" Xerath blurted out in astonishment: "You are still alive too?!"
The Ascended General Aatrox is a contemporary of Nasus and follows Queen Setaka. If Nasus is the leader of the "civil officials" among his subjects, Aatrox is the best among the military generals.
He is kind and amiable, dares to be a pioneer, and has a prestige in the Shurima Empire's army that is second only to Queen Setaka.
But after just a moment, Zerath noticed something was wrong: "You look..."
After being imprisoned for three thousand years and recently released, Xerath did not know the story after the demise of Shurima, nor did he know that the Ascended generals who participated in the Void War were contaminated by the Void.
Aatrox is no longer the beloved Shurima general. He has a new title: "Darkin Blade."
It was also the first time that Nasus saw the fallen Aatrox. Facing such an old friend, he felt extremely heavy-hearted and full of guilt.
During that Void War, only he and Renekton stayed behind to guard Shurima, and thus were not contaminated by the Void, but in the end the two brothers did nothing.
"Aatrox, why are you here?" he asked in a deep voice.
“Grand Maester?” Scarlet eyes shot forward, and Aatrox’s voice seemed to echo in two parts: “You have fallen, too, and sunk into the abyss of cowardice.
I heard the desert travelers singing, Azir has resurrected, and has come to pay homage to the Emperor of the Desert."
“Is that really the case?” Nasus did not hear the kindness and tightened his grip on the axe handle.
Xerath noticed something was wrong with Aatrox during his observation and asked in surprise, "Aatrox, your Ascended body..."
hum-
The sound of the giant blade breaking through the wind echoed, and Aatrox pointed the blade at Xerath: "I remember you, although you have changed. Azir's slave, Xerath, the sinner who destroyed the capital."
“Slave?!” Xerath’s voice changed slightly: “No, it’s been a long time since I was a slave. Azir gave me my freedom before the Ascension Ceremony.”
“What?!” Nasus was shocked: “Then why are you still…”
“Yeah, why?” Xerath looked back at Ji Xing warily, but he did not continue to provoke Nasus. Instead, he said, “Let’s work together to kill them, Aatrox.
I can see the strangeness of your body. I think you are not looking for Azir out of kindness, but to ask him the secret of his resurrection. Nasus and this damned mage will be obstacles. Join forces with me and kill them here!"
“Aatrox!” Nether roared. “You still remember the glory of the Ascended!”
Aatrox only looked up at Jisung.
The glory of the Ascended? He no longer had that kind of thing. It disappeared when he fell into the Darkin and was sealed into his own blade because of the conspiracy of the Twilight Spirit Maisha.
He came to the desert to find Azir not to restore the Shurima Empire.
Now his true form is still a blade, but he has usurped the bodies of the ignorant people who touched the blade and violently changed them into his own appearance.
As the first Darkin to escape, he devoured countless flesh and blood in a similar way over the past few hundred years to strengthen his body's strength.
But even though his flesh and blood is stronger than his original body now, it is only similar in appearance, and it just allows him to walk from one prison to another!
He wants to take back his ascended body, and he needs a way to revive Azir!
But… "It doesn't look like we need to find Azir. Can you give me an answer?"
Xerath was startled and the explosion echoed!
The giant blade of the Darkin Sword Demon Aatrox once again came to Xerath's head, almost instantly cutting Xerath's energy body in half, causing Xerath to howl and shoot into the yellow sand.
“Aatrox!!”
With gnashing teeth and roaring, Xerath, who had been beaten, released powerful witchcraft energy at Aatrox who was following him, and the earth-shattering impact sounded again.
Even more violent than the collision between Nasus and Xerath, Aatrox was worthy of the name of the Sword Demon with his aggressive moves. The two dark energies squeezed each other, and as they expanded, they flattened hundreds of miles of yellow sand with ease!
Ji Xing landed next to Nasus, and a magic shield protected the two of them.
Nasus's expression was angry and complicated. Aatrox, do you still remember the glory of the Ascendants?
Darkin... Void... Xerath...
The wise Grand Maester didn't know how to face Aatrox. He only knew that he didn't want Xerath to escape.
He looked at Ji Xing and said, "Thank you, Piltover's mage. Things didn't develop in the worst direction, but I'll have to ask you to keep an eye on Xerath from now on. Aatrox may not be his opponent, and the two of them won't fight to the death."
Ji Xing hummed casually.
From the moment Aatrox appeared, Ji Xing's spiritual sense sent a sharp alarm.
He seemed to be targeted by some kind of ferocious beast, more powerful than the Jax he had once seen!
Not him, not Aatrox.
After watching the battle for more than ten seconds, Ji Xing confirmed that the Darkin Sword Demon Aatrox was very strong, but only stronger than Nasus, and was equivalent to the prime of Xerath, with slightly weaker destructive power but slightly stronger in actual combat.
This could cause some trouble, but it's far from fatal.
There are also masters.
Ji Xing narrowed his eyes and looked around the desert.
Two minutes later, Xerath couldn't stand it anymore and screamed in anger: "Aatrox, have you turned into a lunatic?! Do you really want to fight me to the death here?!"
Having experienced Ji Xing's methods, he really didn't want to suffer any more damage at the hands of Aatrox.
"Why was Azir resurrected?" Aatrox asked in a low voice.
"You are asking even though you already know the answer. You can't do it!" Zerath said, "That is the blood of ascension inherited by the Ascended Empress Setaka. It is the power of blood!"
"Really? You really lied to me before." Aatrox said calmly: "Then what can I gain by joining forces with you to fight against the Grand Maester?"
Xerath: “…”
He was a little confused. Has the world outside become so complicated?
Just when he wanted to ask Aatrox to stop, a sudden burst of dog barking was heard, which should definitely not appear on their battlefield.
The strange scene finally stopped the two men from colliding. They looked into the distance of the desert and saw a group of dune hounds running towards them.
In this desert, the Dune Hounds are more united and ferocious than wolves, and are one of the creatures most feared by merchants and travelers. But to Ascendants and Darkins, they can be destroyed with a wave of their hands.
But in this group of hunting dogs, Aatrox felt a familiar smell and power.
"You are……"
"Aatrox, long time no see. Don't you recognize me?" The leading hound spoke in human language, "I am Nayafili. As you can see, something unexpected happened. My sealed dagger was torn into pieces and eaten by these guys."
"Nayafili?" Nasus asked in shock.
"Oh, the Grand Maester."
Another powerful Ascendant, or another powerful Darkin! Like Aatrox, she is one of the most powerful Darkin, but obviously, her situation is a little weirder.
"I felt your power from the distant desert." Nayafili did not communicate much with Nasus, but just said a simple sentence, and the pack of dogs looked at Aatrox and Xerath again.
"It's not a bad thing, actually. These little guys taught me some life philosophies. I've been looking for you guys. Let's unite, Aatrox... maybe we can bring Xerath with us?"
Nasus no longer paid attention to Nayafili's condition, but instead cast his gaze to the other end of the desert, his expression gradually becoming sad.
The Ascendant can feel the power of the Ascendant's collision. Are you here too? My brother.
Renekton!
He could feel that the violent and violent 'Desert Butcher' was also approaching here!
Ancient witch spirits, Ascended Grand Maesters, two Darkin, crazy Renekton...
It's getting more and more confusing.
“It’s not them.” At this time, Ji Xing’s eyes also moved away from the Nayafili and looked in the same direction as Nasus: “Crocodile? No, it’s not him either. They are not as good as the Sword Demon.”
The sixth sense from the soul is spread to the extreme.
Ji Xing suddenly turned his head and looked towards the desert in another direction. In the yellow sand, a new figure appeared in the shadows!
It didn't move.
Or rather, it cannot be moved.
Because it was a scarecrow that was planted there by unknown person and at unknown time, swaying in the wind, with a deep smile at the corners of its mouth!
"So that's it."
