Runeterra: I really know a little bit about everything

Chapter 172 They finally came!

The atmosphere in the Royal Capital of Shurima was extremely oppressive. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the extraordinary figures in the western sky.

There is no doubt that the future of the Shurima Empire, their future, will be concluded in the confrontation of these figures.

Outside the Royal Capital of Shurima, Azir and Xerath looked at each other in the air. Behind them were a dozen Bakai and Ascended Warriors.

Azir's hand tightly grasped the scepter of leadership in his hand, and his heart was extremely heavy at this time.

Although he was ready to fight to the death, looking at the earnest and slightly frightened eyes of the Shurima people at the rear, and then looking at the Shurima army of only a few thousand people below, he still couldn't help but feel... A touch of sadness arose.

Just after the restoration of the country, these are all the human soldiers who have gathered during this time.

A team of a thousand people is not a very large force even in those small countries, not to mention that their opponents are thousands of destruction followers of Xerath.

Azir didn't know how he was going to win this war.

Xerath came so fast that Shurima only created one Ascended One, and he was not ready for anything.

Seemingly sensing something strange about Azir, Xerath's sinister voice came again:

"Azir, is this the army of Shurima? I remember that the most powerful army in Shurima is not the Ascended Legion? Where have they gone?"

Azir's eagle eyes stared at Xerath in the distance, and his tone contained endless killing intent:
"Xerath, you are destined not to see it, because you will die here today!"

"Hahaha~!"

Xerath's laughter was still wild. He looked at Nasus and others behind Azir. He could not imagine how he would lose this war.

In fact, he had already arrived outside the royal capital of Shurima, but he still chose to watch the ascension ceremony being completed.

Because he wanted Azir to see with his own eyes the difference between the Ascended Ones of Shurima and the Ascended Ones he created.

After speaking to Azir, Xerath looked at Renekton next to Nasus:
"Rekton, I didn't expect that your power was so powerful that you could even leave Narimajer with the Holy Emblem of the Sun. But you didn't kill Nasus. You let me down so much."

Hearing Xerath's words, Renekton's big head was filled with even greater doubts.

Wasn't it Zuo Chi's doing to steal the Holy Emblem of the Sun from Naerimajie?How did it become him?
However, when he thought of the temptation he received when he was in the emperor's tomb, Renekton's eyes gradually filled with blood.

Because of the despicable person in front of him, he stretched out his butcher knife towards his most beloved brother, and almost killed his brother with his own hands!

"Xerath, lowly slave, I will chop you into eight pieces!"

Xerath shook his head and chuckled: "Then I'm really looking forward to it."

Once again, the world became quiet, and everyone seemed to hear only the roar of the strong wind sweeping through the yellow sand.

Xerath and Azir looked at each other, and lightning seemed to rise in the sky between them.

At a certain moment, Azir's commanding scepter slowly waved forward: "Soldiers, for the future of Shurima!"

"kill!"

In an instant, the terrifying pressure completely erupted, and Nasus, Renekton, Kassadin, and Zuochi rushed out from behind Azir.

According to the previously formulated tactics, the four of them found their own opponents.

Nasus, Renekton, and Kassadin each faced off against one Bakai, while Zuo Chi faced off against the remaining nine Bakai!

"boom!"

The ascension forms of the three ascended gods were fully activated, and the huge figures nearly 30 meters high swung towards Bakai in front of them with the power to destroy the world.

No matter what the identities of these Bakai were, from the moment they chose to side with Xerath, they were destined to meet the Ascended God's weapons.

Suddenly, violent roars began to sound in the desert outside the royal capital of Shurima.

And just when Nasus' war scepter collided with the arcane weapon in Bakai's hand, a very obvious look of shock flashed in his eyes.

Because he can clearly sense that his opponent's strength is not weaker than his at all, and in some cases, even stronger than him!
"withered!"

Nasus waved his right hand, and a ball of purple-black energy attached to the Bakai. However, just when Nasus thought that Bakai's speed would weaken, he saw that he was The blue flames flowing out of Bakai's body actually directly shattered his soul energy.

These Bakai, whose bodies have completely transformed into arcane energy, seem to be completely immune to soul and life magic.

"Oh!"

Caught off guard, the war hammer in the Bakai's hand hit Nasus hard on the chest.

Nasus' huge body retreated instantly, and at the same time, the light in his eyes became more and more solemn.

He knew that if he wanted to defeat this Bakai, or even kill him, he would undoubtedly have to pay a heavy price.

And if he could deal with just one Bakai, Zuo Chi had nine in total!
Nasus's heart had fallen to the bottom, and the power gushing out of his body was getting stronger and stronger. He must now do everything he could to kill his opponent, and then go to support Zuo Chi.

Otherwise, once something unexpected happens to Zuo Chi, the last thing they can rely on will be gone.

The same situation also happened to Kassadin and Renekton, and they were all locked in a bitter battle.

Outside the three-party battlefield, Zuo Chi was suspended in the air. He looked at the nine Bakai in front of him and immediately unsheathed the star iron sword in his hand.

He could clearly sense that compared with the last time he was in Nerimajie's underground treasure house, the power of these Bakai had been greatly improved, and they seemed to have become even less sane, completely reduced to Zera. Sri Lanka's war machine.

The nine Bakai not far away were also watching Zuo Chi. They seemed to be waiting for Zuo Chi, who was alone, to react to the battle.

Finally, Zuo Chi's figure disappeared from the spot and rushed forward!

The blazing power of ascension filled the long sword, and Zuo Chi instantly came to a Ba Kai, and the long sword in his hand went straight towards his chest.

Looking at Zuo Chi who came in front of him, Bakai's arms suddenly lit up with a dazzling blue light. His hands stretched rapidly under the blue light. Soon, his arms turned into a To the long whip filled with blue arcs.

"Snapped!"

As the electric arc leaped, the long whip rushed straight towards Zuo Chi. At the same time, other Bakai's hands also differentiated their own weapons and rushed towards Zuo Chi.

Obviously, even they did not expect that Zuo Chi would actually dare to rush into their siege alone.

Soon, the long knife came to the chest of the Bakai, and one of the long whips in Bakai's hand curled towards Zuochi's long knife, and the other whipped towards Zuochi's body. Other Bakai also came to Zuochi behind.

However, it was at this moment that Bakai, who was less than half a meter away from Zuo Chi, suddenly saw the flash of red light in Zuo Chi's eyes.

"Forbidden Curse·Fire Knife Fiery Wind Cut!"

The temperature in the air is rising rapidly, and colorless flames are even appearing out of thin air.

In an instant, huge flame blades with a diameter of nearly ten meters appeared around Zuo Chi, spreading in all directions with endless lethality.

This sudden scene made everyone present feel unexpected. They would never have thought that Zuo Chi, who was ready to fight them with a long knife one second, would actually rub his hands with them the next second. A forbidden fire spell came out! !

The raging flames came in front of the nine Bakai in an instant, and there was almost no possibility for them to escape. After all, Zuo Chi had just used himself as bait to gather them all together.

"boom!"

The flame wheel blades cut the bodies of these Bakai, and with a huge roar, all the Bakai flew out upside down.

The flames hit the earth, and even the yellow sand below was burned into crystal glass.

In the sky, Zuo Chi's breathing sounded a little heavy, and he could clearly feel that all the magic power in his body was drained out almost instantly.

The red rune mark on the heart is shining with red light, and its lines are slowly spreading around.

While Ba Kai was repulsed, Zuo Chi reached into his arms and tightly held the world rune - red.

If he wants to accumulate enough magic power to release the forbidden curse, the world runes are his last resort.

The movement here attracted the attention of the entire battlefield. Looking at the nine Bakai who were instantly repelled, everyone on the battlefield was looking at Zuo Chi in the sky with stunned eyes.

Although Azir knew that Zuochi had spent a night in Shurima's treasure house, he always thought that Zuochi was just doing useless work and that it was impossible to learn the forbidden spell or even release the forbidden spell.

He had never thought that an ordinary human being could possess enough magic power to release a forbidden curse.

Xerath also saw the situation here. He looked at Azir opposite, with a somewhat inexplicable tone in his voice:
"Azir, I didn't expect that Shurima, which is about to be destroyed, can find him as a helper."

Xerath had personally fought against Zuo Chi, so he recognized the man who ruined his good deeds at the edge of the Dashai Desert at a glance. However, he did not expect that Zuo Chi's power had actually increased significantly.

When we met before, he didn't have the ability to rub forbidden spells with his hands, otherwise how could he escape so easily.

However, none of this matters!
Zelas knew very well that if the Bakais had not approached Zuochi just because they underestimated the enemy, Zuochi's forbidden spell would not have been able to cause large-scale damage to them.

Now, with the experience just now, we only need to distance ourselves from the battle, and we no longer have to worry about the situation happening again.

What's more, Zuo Chi's ability to use a forbidden spell on his own is already abnormal enough. Xerath doesn't believe that Zuo Chi still has the ability to continue fighting.

He must have been extremely weak at this time, almost powerless.

What Xerath has to do now is to completely crush the armies of Azir and Shurima not far away, and finally capture Zuochi and transform him into a killing machine like those Bakai.

"Whizzing!"

Soon, those Bakai who had been repelled by Zuo Chi once again rushed out from under the yellow sand and came to the sky in front of Zuo Chi.

At this time, many scorch marks had appeared on their bodies, which were composed of pure arcane energy, but their auras were still strong.

With their previous experience, this time they did not rush towards Zuo Chi again, but surrounded Zuo Chi in the middle with a double team.

A dazzling blue thunder emerged, and all Bakai launched a magic attack in the direction of Zuo Chi.

Facing these nine attacks, Zuo Chi, whose magic power had not yet been fully replenished, chose to raise his long knife and use it to block the attacks of the nine Bakai.

"boom!"

Zuo Chi's arm suddenly bent inwards, and his body retreated far away.

Fortunately, when magic is used remotely, the power of these Bakai will be reduced to a certain extent, and Zuochi can barely resist the attacks of the nine people.

While Zuo Chi gritted his teeth to resist these long-range attacks from Bakai, he frantically guided the power in the world runes into his body.

The meridians all over his body felt a burning sensation due to the influx of world rune power, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

As time goes by, the wounds on Zuo Chi's body are increasing.

Although his strength was enough to defeat any of them, he faced nine of them!

In the hands of these nine Bakai with demigod strength, his power is still too small after all.

The Bakais in the distance looked at Zuo Chi who always chose to defend rather than attack, and then looked at the more and more wounds on his body, and their hearts that had always been hanging were once again put back in their stomachs.

They knew that, just as Xerath thought, Zuochi had been drained of power due to the previous forbidden spell, and his power had been reduced to a minimum.

Thinking of this, they no longer had any fear and headed straight for Zuo Chi.

However, just when they came to Zuo Chi like before, they suddenly saw the crazy and rampant smile in Zuo Chi's eyes.

"Forbidden Curse: Divine Thunder Falls!"
-
The eyes of Xerath and Azir met in the air. At this moment, the emperor and the slaves who had sworn hatred no longer had any reservations.

After determining that Zuochi was no longer capable of fighting, Xerath chose to take action against Azir.

Xerath waved his hand forward, and the army below him that had been waiting for a long time also rushed towards Shurima's army.

Since you have decided to crush Azir's hopes, you must crush everything he has!
"Azir, hypocrite, your ability to lead an army is so weak, both before and now."

"I'll show you what a real army is!"

The moment Xerath finished speaking, the army of destruction believers headed by the powerful Desolate Walker rushed towards the Shurima army.

Fierce blue energy continuously spurted out from Desolate Walker's hands. This energy fell on the sand, causing a violent explosion in an instant.

On the side of Shurima's army, looking at the army in front of them that was several times the size of their own, every soldier's hand holding the weapon was trembling.

They seemed to have anticipated their own ending, which was to be buried in the yellow sand along with the city behind them.

However, just as these Shurima soldiers were trembling, Azir's deep and majestic voice sounded in their ears:

"Everyone, change your weapons to longbows!"

Hearing Azir's words, everyone's bodies were stunned. They couldn't understand why bows and arrows were used at such a time.

However, looking at Azir's mountainous figure in the sky, they still chose to do so.

And just when they thought that their mortal army of a few thousand people was about to be directly scattered by Xerath's followers of destruction, they suddenly felt an extremely terrifying pressure.

Looking up suddenly, they all saw the golden six-pointed star formation emerging in front of His Majesty's body.Azir extended his scepter forward, his eagle claws pointed in the air, and many golden six-pointed star formations immediately emerged.

These magic circles stacked on top of each other and rotated, then slowly fell into the desert between the followers of destruction and the Shuriman army.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the earth began to tremble, the yellow sand began to boil, and the fine gravel was lifted up by an invisible force, and then began to pile up on each other.

Under the gaze of the entire battlefield, yellow sand soldiers emerged one after another, pointing their spears directly at Xerath's army!
Just a moment later, there were five thousand more Huangsha soldiers on the battlefield, and the number was still increasing.

"boom!"

Soon, the yellow sand soldiers at the front collided with Xerath's army.

Soldiers made of yellow sand can be largely immune to magical attacks. Although it is still impossible to compete with the powerful Desolate Walker, the advancement of Xerath's army is still blocked by the accumulation of numbers.

"Fire arrows!"

Azir's voice sounded again, and the soldiers of the Shurima army reacted immediately.

This time, they no longer hesitated, drew their bows and arrows, and fired the arrows in their hands wildly at the enemy in front.

Under the rain of arrows, although the ancient magicians on Xerath's side were already releasing magic to resist, many believers of destruction still died in the rain of arrows.

In the sky, blue flames danced in the eyes of Xerath who witnessed all this. He had to admit that he had indeed underestimated the only ascended Shurima Emperor after Queen Setaka in front of him.

Unlike all ascended gods, Azir not only has the power of ascension, he also has the ability to control yellow sand.

With this ability, even if Azir is alone in the desert, he is still equivalent to a huge army.

But, this is not enough!

Ordinary yellow sand soldiers may be enough to resist the believers of destruction, but they are absolutely unable to cause any harm to the Desolate Walkers and the Ancient Sorcerers.

What's more, the arrows in the hands of Shurima's army are by no means unlimited.

After the arrows were shot, they still had no choice but to fight in close combat with the believers of destruction.

"boom!"

Xerath swung a majestic arcane energy towards the Huangsha soldiers. In the explosion, nearly a thousand Huangsha soldiers were shattered and turned into a field of yellow sand, unable to stand up.

"Zeras!"

Seeing this scene, Azir shouted sharply at Xerath. At the same time, the commanding scepter in his hand was filled with extremely dazzling power of ascension, and his body, which was only three meters long, was growing rapidly.

After the power of ascension was completely integrated into Azir's body, Azir's true ascended form was revealed to the world for the first time.

Under the sunlight, Azir's golden eagle armor shone with dazzling light, and his falcon-like eyes were filled with endless killing intent.

"Zarp, come and fight me!"

Xerath looked at Azir in front of him. The majestic arcane energy began to gather in his hands, and blue thunder and lightning were already scattered around him.

What he has to do now is to kill the hypocritical emperor in front of him, and then establish an empire that belongs only to himself.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a deafening roar suddenly sounded in Zerath's ears, and he discovered that dense dark clouds actually appeared in the sky above his head!
Turning his head suddenly to look, Xerath had a look of deep disbelief in his eyes.

Because right there, seeing that Zuo Chi was exhausted and preparing to approach him again, the Bakais were once again enveloped by the forbidden spell released by Zuo Chi.

"."

Zelas had to admit that he really underestimated Zuo Chi.

But at the same time, he also understood that he had to take down Azir in front of him as quickly as possible, otherwise things would change later. Although the chance was close to zero, who knew whether the nine Bakai would really Died in the hands of Zuo Chi.

Thousands of years later, the old enemies of Xerath and Azir collided.

The power of golden ascension collided crazily with the blue arcane energy. Azir's huge body flipped over, and the war scepter in his hand kept hitting Xerath.

As the most perfect Ascendant in existence today, Azir's power is by no means comparable to that of Nasus and Renekton. Therefore, even if Xerath once fought against the two brothers Nasus and Renekton on his own, , but when he faced Azir, he felt tremendous pressure.

At this moment, the entire thousand-mile desert outside the imperial capital of Shurima was completely transformed into a hell on earth.

A terrible war once again came to the continent of Shurima, and the scale this time was no weaker than the previous one.

The battle between Nasus, Renekton, and Kassadin and the three Bakai is still going on. For them, who are evenly matched, it takes a certain amount of time and price to kill each other in a short time. .

Zuo Chi was once again surrounded by the nine Bakai, and this time, no one dared to approach Zuo Chi.

The bodies of these Bakai are already covered with scorch marks, and even their originally bright bodies have become much dimmer. Perhaps it only takes one more forbidden spell bombing to completely lose their ability to fight.

At this time, they surrounded Zuochi in the middle and continued to launch various attacks on him.

They have already seen that even if they don't get close to Zuo Chi and just use long-range attacks, they can still kill Zuo Chi, but the speed will be much slower.

But compared to being killed by a forbidden curse, it's obviously worth spending more time.

Just surround Zuo Chi in the middle. If Zuo Chi rushes forward, they will retreat. If Zuo Chi retreats, they will continue to surround them.

In this way, it is definitely only a matter of time before Zuo Chi is consumed to death.

In the encirclement, after using the forbidden spell again, Zuo Chi's breathing became heavier and heavier, and even resisting the attacks of the nine Bakai became very difficult.

Under Bakai's attack, the wounds on his body were becoming more and more numerous.

He had to admit that what he was facing at this time was definitely the strongest enemy he had ever encountered.

There are nine demigods, and each one of them is extremely powerful, completely enough to compare with an orthodox ascended god like Nasus.

Holding the World Rune tightly in his hand, Zuo Chi was struggling. The level of magic that Ryze had released before suddenly appeared in his mind.

Although he only has one World Rune in his hand, which is far less terrifying than Ryze's three, he knows very well that even if it is only one-third of the power, it is still enough!

However, the price to be paid for using such a level of world rune power must be terrifying.

Even Ryze has completely lost the ability to fight. What about him? He has just learned rune magic. What price will he have to pay?

What's more, right next to the battlefield is the Royal Capital of Shurima!

"boom!"

Once again, Zuo Chi was knocked back hundreds of meters by the combined force of nine Bakai, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The marks between his eyebrows overlapped and flickered, and many phantoms of ancient gods appeared behind Zuo Chi.

Each of these phantoms has a huge body tens of meters high. The moment they appear, terrifying pressure fills the world.

Zuo Chi held up the world rune high, and a thick light shield of red light spread towards the entire battlefield, and soon completely enveloped the entire battlefield.

Zuo Chi must kill with one strike, and also prevent the aftermath from spreading to the Shurima Royal Capital.

However, Zuo Chi did not summon the power of the world runes immediately, but continued to delay.

He is paying attention to the other four battlefields, because as long as one battlefield gains an advantage and kills the people on Xerath's side, then they can send aid to his side.

In this way, his pressure can be greatly reduced, and he can struggle again.

On the other side, on the battlefield between Azir and Xerath.

Just like Nasus and the others and the three Bakai, Xerath and Azir were unable to defeat each other in a short time.

Both of them seemed to want to unleash all the hatred they had accumulated for thousands of years on each other. They tried their best with every attack, without holding anything back.

However, although the battle between the two commanders did not produce a clear outcome, the battle between the armies below showed a one-sided situation after a brief balance of power.

After all, Shurima's yellow sand soldiers could not resist the footsteps of the Desolate Walker and the Ancient Sorcerer. They had arrived not far from the Shurima army.

Perhaps it won't be long before Shurima's army of only a thousand people will be completely slaughtered.

But this scene was something Azir didn't want to see anyway.

Because he knew very well that once the Shurima army was slaughtered, what Xerath's army would face were the Shurima civilians in the Shurima Imperial Capital!
At this point, Azir could only divert his attention to summon the Yellow Sand Soldiers again, and the number of summons was still very large.

However, in this evenly matched battle, his distraction was enough to push him to a point of no return.

"boom!"

A surging arcane energy bombarded Azir's body, and his body flew hundreds of meters backwards, hitting the yellow sand heavily.

"Azir, hypocrite, what a stupid thing to do!"

Without leaving any chance for Azir to breathe, Xerath's attack fell on Azir like a violent storm.

For a moment, Azir's place was completely submerged by the ocean of arcane energy, and he could not even stand up under the bombardment of this power.

Gradually, Azir has been forced by Xerath to the edge of the light shield summoned by Zuochi.

"Oh!"

Hitting the light again, Azir's body slipped from the light shield and sat back in the yellow sand, breathing heavily.

It was also at this time that Xerath came to Azir and grabbed Azir's neck.

"Hypocrite, when did you start caring about the lives of these ants?"

Xerath's power surged out of his hand and spread to Azir's body instantly, and Azir also let out a low roar of pain.

"Xerath, you should die!"

"You are the one who deserves to die, Azir. You have ignored my dedication to you. You are the betrayer!"

Xerath said, his tone gradually coming to the edge of rage, as if he was recalling something he didn't want to recall.

With his neck being pinched by Xerath, Azir turned his head with great difficulty and his eyes met Zuo Chi in the distant sky.

It was also at this time that a look of heaviness and determination flashed across Zuo Chi's eyes.

He knew that he had to take action.

It's just that he doesn't know what price he will pay for this war, and whether he is right to do so.

He obviously told Aatrox that he would run away if the situation was not right.

But in the current situation, how could he run away.

The hand holding the world rune was trembling violently, Zuo Chi's eyes began to gradually become bloodshot, and the sound of his heart beating became clearly visible.

Gradually, the extremely terrifying power of the world runes began to surge out without limit, as if an extremely terrifying apocalyptic storm was brewing.

Azir was pinched in Xerath's hand, his hands firmly grasping Xerath's arm, his eyes still firm.

"boom!"

Azir suddenly heard a violent roar coming from behind him.

Looking towards Zuo Chi, he found that it was not coming from Zuo Chi.

"boom!"

Another roar came, and the roar began to become more and more intensive.

Suddenly, Azir felt Xerath's hand on his neck loosen suddenly, and he raised his head and stared at the light barrier behind him.

"boom!"

Another roar came, and Azir felt an extremely majestic force coming from behind. He and Xerath were directly blown away by this force and crashed into the battlefield below.

The eyes of the entire battlefield were focused on the place where the roar came from.

There, a big hole was opened in the photomask, and the dazzling sunlight from the outside shined in.

In the shadow of the sun, a dozen figures standing side by side appeared in everyone's sight.

The leader was a tall figure with two wings on his back and holding a bloody giant sword!
