Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

The next instant, Zuo Chi's longsword collided with Zolani's curved chainsaw, Zolani's arm snapped instantly, and a look of deep horror flashed in her eyes.

She hadn't expected that Zuo Chi's power would have grown to this extent in such a short time.

However, Zolani's shock only lasted for a moment, and then thick blood light surged from her hands.

At the same time, just as the battle between Zuo Chi and Zolani began, Varus and Tarrosh also clashed.

As Aatrox's strongest follower, Tarosh is very powerful; otherwise, he wouldn't have almost defeated Zoranny.

It would be quite difficult for Varus to kill Tarrosh in a short period of time, just as Zuochi killed Anaca.

However, Varus also has an advantage, which is his archery skills that can hit a target from a hundred paces away.

Under his longbow, Tarrosh's advantage of being able to fly will be completely lost.

And so, to Nasus and Sivir's bewildered gaze, Zuo Chi and his companion collided with Zolani and her companion.

Nasus was certain that this was all orchestrated by that human, and he hadn't expected that Varus would actually listen to a human's advice.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A deafening roar echoed across the desert as the power of ascension clashed fiercely with the blood magic, neither gaining the upper hand for the time being.

However, Zuo Chi soon discovered that although Zolani's blood magic was very strong, her physical body seemed to be much weaker.

At least in terms of physical strength alone, she is far inferior to Aatrox.

The difference between Zoranny and Aatrox is that one is a mage and the other is a warrior.

In this situation, if Zuo Chi wants to kill Zolani, he has to start with her physical body.

We must find a way to get close to Zolani.

"Wow~!"

The chainsaw's chains extended infinitely, dancing around Zuo Chi, while streams of sinister, dark red energy exploded from Zolani's hands, rushing towards Zuo Chi.

While dodging the attacks from the chains, Zuo Chi quickly approached Zolani in the sky.

Finally, just as he blasted away another ball of crimson energy, he arrived in front of Zolani.

Zuo Chi, who had been holding the knife with both hands, switched to holding it with his right hand and slashed down at Zolani's head. Just as Zolani raised her curved chainsaw to block, Zuo Chi's free left hand burst forth with a surge of green light.

Sharp thorns covered Zuo Chi's left fist as he punched Zolani in the waist.

This sudden scene made Zolani pause for a moment, but then the surprise in her eyes turned into ferocity!

"puff!"

Almost instantly, Zuo Chi's punch pierced through Zolani's left side waist and sank deep into her body.

Upon seeing this, a glint of light flashed in Zuo Chi's eyes. Sure enough, everything was as he had thought. Compared to Zolani's blood magic, her physical body seemed much more fragile.

However, Zuo Chi's thought only lasted for a moment, because in the next second, Zuo Chi saw countless dark red blood vessels that had suddenly grown on Zolani's waist!

The hole that Zuo Chi had punched healed quickly, and Zuo Chi's arm was directly bound to Zolani's body. At the same time, just like when she possessed Zuo Chi at the Wuji Sword Sect, dark red blood vessels pierced deeply into Zuo Chi's arm and began to spread rapidly upwards.

"This time, the power of ascension won't be able to protect you. Become my servant!"

Almost in the blink of an eye, dark red veins had spread across Zuo Chi's arm, which was bound inside Zolani's body, and an extreme pain appeared on Zuo Chi's face.

He could feel that his left arm had completely lost control, and his mind was becoming somewhat violent, with his vision filled with a faint bloody mist.

Zuo Chi tried to use his Ascension power to force back these blood vessels, but he found that his incomplete Ascension power was no match for Zolani's blood magic.

In an instant, the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse. Zolani had even foreseen how powerful she would become after she took control of Zuo Chi.

However, just as Zolani was preparing to increase the output of her Blood Magic, she suddenly saw the row of marks that lit up between Zuo Chi's eyebrows.

In an instant, a tremendous commotion began to emanate from the space where they were located.

Thick dark clouds suddenly appeared over Shurima, a place where rain might not fall even once in a century. Gale-force winds swept through the clouds, and the earth began to tremble violently.

Thick bolts of lightning descended from the dark clouds, the earth cracked open, and lava and ice attacked Zolani from above and below.

Faced with this sudden elemental attack, Zolani could only wave her hands to block it.

However, it was at this moment that Zuo Chi's right hand became free.

He tossed the long sword in his hand into the air, then reached into his robes with his right hand. When he pulled it out again, he held a strange rune that emitted a dazzling red light.

World Rune - Red!

Zuo Chi did not use the scroll that could suppress the direct runes again, but instead held it tightly in his hand.

"Come on, let's hurt each other!"

Zuo Chi roared, and a violent power surged from the world runes, pouring directly into his body.

Instead of using direct runes to bombard Zolani, Zuo Chi used his own body as a medium to directly transfer the power of the World Rune from his right hand to his left arm.

Zuo Chi's entire arm was covered with strange crimson patterns, which were rapidly moving upwards along his right arm, quickly passing through his chest and reaching his left arm.

For a moment, crackling sounds rang out continuously, and a look of pain appeared on Zolani's face.

Under the power of the World Rune, the blood vessels that had spread from Zolani's body receded rapidly as if electrocuted.

However, Zuo Chi was not prepared to give up so easily.

He increased the power of the World Rune again, and at the same time, he could feel a burning sensation coming from his right hand, which held the World Rune.

Finally, all the blood vessels were forced back, and the power of the World Rune flowed through Zuo Chi's arm into Zolani's body!

"boom!"

In an instant, a piercing roar rang out, and a bloody hole was blasted open in Zolani's waist.

This time, without hesitation, Zolani quickly retreated.

She hovered in the air, her eyes fixed on the world rune in Zuo Chi's hand.

She never imagined that Zuo Chi would have such a thing in his possession!

Although Zoranny was sealed away before the Rune Wars, she has now been resurrected and naturally knows about the history of the Rune Wars.

That was another cataclysmic event following the First Darkin War, and one of the culprits of the Rune Wars was this very thing in Zuo Chi's hands.

Reaching down to touch the gruesome hole in her waist, Zolani was horrified to discover that this wound was not healing as quickly as her previous ones.

The power of the World Runes is constantly eroding her wounds, rendering her blood magic ineffective.

For a moment, Zolani looked around again.

Nasus has already left with Sivir, and now only she and Tarosh remain on their battlefield in the desert.

On Zuo Chi's side, he clenched his teeth tightly, trying his best to resist the burning sensation in his body, while a bitter smile couldn't help but rise in his heart.

As expected, forcibly using the power of the World Rune without fully understanding rune magic has extremely serious side effects.

However, seeing Zolani's miserable state, Zuo Chi knew that if he wanted to kill Zolani, now was undoubtedly the best opportunity.

Ignoring the burning pain emanating from his body, Zuo Chi's forehead veins bulged as he charged straight at Zolani with his long sword in hand.

"die!"

"Boom! Click!"

Zolani was slashed to the ground by Zuo Chi's blade and crashed heavily into the desert.

Zuo Chi lunged at Zolani. Below, jagged rock spikes had already bound Zolani. With just one strike, Zuo Chi could seal Zolani back into her weapon!

However, just as Zuo Chi was about to reach Zolani, a huge shadow suddenly appeared behind him.

Tarosh!

Controlled by blood magic, Tarosh ignored Varus's furious attacks from behind, determined to stand in front of Zoranny despite being severely injured.

Finally, Zuo Chi's long sword fell, striking Tarosh's shoulder and cleaving his body in two!

But at the same time, Tarosh's halberd also thrust towards Zuo Chi.

At the critical moment, Varus stood in front of Zuo Chi, taking him flying backwards with him.

After sliding a long distance on the sand, Zuo Chi sprang to his feet like a carp and charged madly toward Zolani.

However, Tarrosh ultimately created an opportunity for Zoranny to escape by sacrificing himself.

Even before Zolani left, she did the same thing, completely devouring Tarrosh's human body just like she had devoured Anaca, leaving only a headless dragon corpse!

"Clang!"

As Zoranny's figure rapidly disappeared into the distance, the Darkin halberd Tarosh's true form fell to the ground.

Verus brushed past Zuo Chi, ready to give chase, but found that Zuo Chi did not move.

"Zuo Chi?"

But then Varus noticed that Zuo Chi's face was extremely pale and his body was burning hot.

Despite his efforts to suppress it, the aftereffects of forcibly drawing the power of the World Runes into his body have still arrived.

"What a pity." Zuo Chi shook his head helplessly: "It was just a little bit short."

Varus stood in front of Zuo Chi, his gaze towards Zuo Chi extremely serious.

"Zuo Chi, you're very strong!"

For a proud and arrogant Darkin to say such a thing, one can imagine just how shocked Varus was by what Zuo Chi had just done.
