Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

When she looked back at the spot where she had just been standing, her expression was even more exaggerated than Kai'Sa's.

Her mouth was agape, her face filled with disbelief.

"Zuo Chi. You."

However, her words did not receive a response from Zuo Chi, because Rek'Sai's other giant claw had once again stabbed towards Zuo Chi's direction!

Under the watchful eyes of Kaisa and Taliyah, an incredibly dazzling light suddenly erupted from Zuo Chi's body.

As the light spread, Rek'Sai's two giant claws were actually forced open!

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Chi's figure soared into the sky, instantly appearing more than ten meters in the air.

Even Rek'Sai was a little taken aback when Zuo Chi suddenly appeared in front of her.

Since the Void War, the Ascended Gods of Shurima have all retreated into seclusion, and she has existed in the Shurima desert for thousands of years as a remnant of the Void.

Throughout these millennia, she has possessed an absolute and overwhelming advantage when facing any living being.

But now, Zuo Chi suddenly gave her the feeling she had when facing the ascended gods during the Void War!

This human was actually able to fight her off with his bare physical body!

Just as Rex was stunned, Zuo Chi's heavy fist slammed into the side of her head.

"boom!"

Rex felt an immense force erupt from Zuo Chi's fist, and her body flew backward uncontrollably. Behind her was that deep cave!

Just like that, Rek'Sai, who had just crawled out of the cave, was sent back into the cave by Zuo Chi's punch.

Having done all this, Zuo Chi floated in the air, his whole body covered in golden light. His eyes were slightly narrowed as he stared intently at the deep cave in front of him.

Below, Taliyah looked at Zuochi in the sky, her eyes trembling violently.

"Ascension to Godhood"

Kaisa: "???"

Kai'Sa had only heard about the Ascended Gods from other people, so she didn't know what the Ascended Gods of Ancient Shurima actually looked like.

But isn't it said that all gods who ascend to heaven undergo a change in form?

For example, turning into a dog-headed person or a crocodile-headed person or something.

But Zuo Chi's appearance hasn't changed at all, not even his physique!

"Roar!"

Just as the two were still hesitating, Rek'Sai's roar came from the cave once again.

Her body, covered in dark purple armor, burst out of the cave and shot straight toward Zuo Chi in the sky.

At the same time, the Exos who had just been blasted away also surrounded this place, and even some Exos began to rush out of the cave!

Upon noticing this, a look of seriousness flashed in Zuo Chi's eyes.

If a large number of Exys crawl out of the cave and surround him, even if he is strong, he will probably be worn down to death little by little.

At this moment, their goal is not to kill as many void creatures as possible, because there are no void creatures that can be killed indefinitely.

Their ultimate goal is to leave this place!

Not only did Zuo Chi notice this, but Kai'Sa and Taliyah below also noticed it.

Kai'Sa instantly appeared behind Taliyah, back to back, staring intently at the incredibly deep void.

After the long battle, Taliyah's magic was nearly depleted. If she were to be surrounded by Exys, she would find it difficult to provide any further assistance to Kai'Sa.

Thinking about this, Taliyah couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.

She deeply regretted not listening to Kasha's advice, which indirectly led to Zuo Chi and Kasha being in danger.

Zuo Chi and Kasha were willing to take risks to help her, but now she could only become a burden to them!

Looking at the deep cave ahead, shrouded in purple light, and then at the towering cliffs surrounding Zoran, Taliyah's gaze began to change.

"Kasha, can you help me hold off these Exys?"

Upon hearing Taliyah's words, Kai'Sa looked at her in confusion, only to find that Taliyah was completely enveloped in a rich, mixed yellow light.

Seeing that Exys had already arrived in front of her, Kai'Sa did not hesitate any longer, and the Icathian Rainstorm poured down!

In an instant, the battlefield was divided into two parts.

On Kai'Sa and Taliyah's side, there were still a few Exys left over from the beginning.

On the left side of the pool, there was Rek'Sai and countless Exosai in the cave!

The next instant, another collision occurred between Zuo Chi and Rek'Sai.

Amidst a deafening roar, one of Rek'Sai's giant claws was forcefully broken off by Zuo Chi!

But at that very moment, countless Exusiais appeared behind Rek'Sai, at the edge of the crypt!

Without any further hesitation, Zuo Chi stomped his foot in mid-air and charged directly towards the fallen Rek'Sai.

Because Rek'Sai always charged out of the crypt towards the left pool above it, every time she fell backward, her massive body completely covered the crypt's exit.

Just as Rek'Sai blocked the cave again, Zuo Chi arrived at her abdomen!

"Buzz!"

Immediately afterwards, the short sword that had always been tucked at his waist appeared in Zuo Chi's hand, resonating with the ascending power within his body.

Zuo Chi thrust the short sword imbued with the power of ascension into Rek'Sai's chest!

And the moment the power of ascension penetrated Rek'Sai's body, he stomped hard on his abdomen, and with the force in the opposite direction, Zuo Chi returned to the air once again, while Rek'Sai, along with countless other Rek'Sai below, fell into the cave below.

At that very moment, Zuo Chi looked in the direction where Taliyah was.

"Taliyah!"

At this moment, Taliyah bit her lower lip tightly, and the mixed yellow light emanating from her hands had become extremely intense.

Her hands reached out to grasp the cliff face beside her, which was carved with a statue of the faceless goddess Zorani, and a sentence kept echoing in her mind.

Those were the words her master, a swordsman who wielded his sword to control the wind, said to her as they parted.

It was he who taught Taliya how to control the magic within her body and how to use that magic to protect those she wanted to protect.

"You will soar freely among the mountains. Use your abilities to create or destroy, embrace it without reservation."

I believe you will weave the right path of balance.

Have a safe journey, little sparrow.

"Little sparrow, you can do it!"

"Uh-huh!!"

A shrill scream escaped Tali's lips, and at that moment, magic erupted from her body, enveloping the entire mountain!

With Taliyah's hands pulling, the statue of the faceless goddess Zorani collapsed instantly, and the cliff behind it turned into countless rubble that rolled down into the cave below!

The next instant, the crypt connecting Zoran and the underground kingdom of Exe was completely filled in!

(Do you remember Taliyah's voice line in the game: "Master Yasuo, it's been a long time. Please allow me to show you what I've learned!")

Chapter 18 A Narrow Escape!

Because the cliff was torn apart by Talya, the three of them were now completely engulfed in dust and smoke.

When the dust settled, the three of them looked at each other, each with a completely different expression in their eyes.

Taliya stared at Zuo Chi in shock, unable to believe that the seemingly harmless Zuo Chi could possess such terrifying power!

He single-handedly fought against a thousand enemies and rescued Kaisa and her at the most critical moment!

Kasha's gaze towards Zuo Chi was somewhat evasive, yet it also carried a hint of girlish arrogance.

His expression was as if to say, "I only went to block Rek'Sai to save you, so don't yell at me!"

As for Zuo Chi, he looked at the two girls in front of him with a helpless expression.

He was quite surprised by both of their performances, especially Taliyah, who was able to pull a small mountain with a flick of her wrist!

"Let's go, get out of here quickly! Rek'Sai and Exy will dig the tunnel open again soon."

Without saying anything more, Zuo Chi took the lead and headed back the way he came, with Taliyah and Kasha following behind him.

However, when Kasha saw that Zuo Chi didn't speak to her, she pursed her lips slightly and followed behind Zuo Chi without saying a word.

After reuniting with the old chieftain and others, Taliya truthfully told them everything that had happened.

"Chieftain, Zoran has become the territory of the Void creatures."

Hearing Taliyah's words, the old patriarch and the others had a deep sense of despair in their eyes.

They seemed to have anticipated this, after all, what they saw before them did not look like a place where they could live and work in peace.

"We have nowhere to go. Perhaps we are destined to be buried in this desert!"

The Taliya people dropped their luggage on the ground, and in frustration, they repeatedly pounded the ground with their hands. The women held their children in their arms, sobbing silently.

Zuo Chi and Kasha stood side by side, looking at everything in front of them with complicated expressions.
