Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

At this moment, Jie and Ku Shuo were only one step apart, and at the same time, Jie's voice, like the footsteps of death, echoed faintly in Ku Shuo's ear.

"Master, please allow me to learn from your skills!"

The moment Jie's voice fell, his hands began to form hand seals rapidly, and at the same time, countless shadows slowly rose from the ground, completely enveloping Ku Shuo in the center.

"Forbidden Technique: Instant Shadow Killing Formation!"

In an instant, a large array formed by countless shadows appeared around Ku Shuo, and countless shuriken flashing with cold light, along with the sharp blade on Jie's arm, pierced towards Ku Shuo's heart!

"No!"

Ku Shuo looked at all this with his dry, sunken eyes in despair, desperately trying to retract the shadows he had shot out.

But it seems it's all too late.

"puff!"

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh rang out, and the bitter voice stopped abruptly. Even the black swords that had been retrieved froze in mid-air.

On the spot, the blade in Jie's hand pierced through Ku Shuo's heart, and Ku Shuo's face was filled with disbelief and horror.

He couldn't believe that after planning for so long, he would ultimately be defeated by his own apprentice!

He only needed to complete this last step to become the ruler of all of Ionia. He was just one step away!

Dense shadow magic leaked from his body like flowing water. His helpless arms tried in vain to plug the gaps in his body, but it was all in vain.

Gradually, Ku Shuo's expression changed from horror to madness once again.

He was unwilling to accept it, he hated it, he hated that the calamity had destroyed everything he had!

His arm gripped Jie's arm tightly, and at the same time, his entire body expanded rapidly!

"Jie, my good disciple, die with your master!"

In an instant, the remaining shadow magic within Ku Shuo's body expanded completely, reaching its peak with the power to turn everything in front of him into nothingness.

As Jie looked at everything before him, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

Right now, it seems that abandoning this arm is the only option!

“Zuo Chi.” On one side of the main hall, Ah Li shook Zuo Chi’s arm.

"Ugh!"

Zuo Chi sighed softly, "In the end, he still didn't come!"

At this point, a dense power of ascension began to emerge from Zuo Chi's hand, and it transformed into a stream of light that rushed towards the master and disciple in front of him.

However, just as Zuo Chi rushed out, his movements suddenly stopped.

Because he saw that right next to Jie, a special sword with an illusory blade appeared.

Soul Blade!

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling purple light completely enveloped the calamity, and a deep chanting voice echoed in the hall.

"Forbidden Secret Technique: Compassionate Salvation of the Fallen Soul!"

Chapter 51 Spear and Shield, Caution and Calamity!

Behind the Soul Blade, the Calamity was now completely enveloped in a dense purple light.

Ancient and mysterious runes swirled and danced around him, and a figure passed through the veil between the spiritual and material realms, arriving in front of Zed!

The figure was clad in dark blue armor, with a steel sword strapped to his back. The Sunbeam emblem, symbolizing his identity as a member of the Order of the Balance, was engraved on the chest of his armor.

His gaze swept over Jie, who was tightly bound by the shadows, and his father, who should have been dead but had now transformed into a shadow monster.

After a long silence, a soft sigh filled with a myriad of emotions escaped his lips.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the Soul Blade that was floating in front of him and stood in front of Jie!

Jie, who had originally planned to escape by sacrificing an arm, was stunned by the sudden scene before him.

"Caution"

However, before Jie could say anything, Ku Shuo's remaining shadow magic had already expanded to its limit, and he exploded instantly like a balloon filled with destructive energy!

"boom!"

An endless black shadow completely swallowed the light in the hall, and magic power, like a black ribbon, burst forth from where Ku Shuo was, frantically impacting everything around him.

Jie stood there, stunned, staring at the purple shield surrounding his body and the figure in front of him that had blocked all the explosive damage for him.

The aftershocks of the explosion lingered for a long time before gradually subsiding. The purple shield covering Zed's body was gradually worn away by the explosion, but he himself was not harmed in the slightest.

As the hall gradually returned to calm, Shen once again sheathed the Soul Blade in his hand.

At this moment, Shen's gaze was calm and still as he quietly stared ahead, at the place where he had just bitterly recounted the passing of his most respected father.

Was her father kidnapped and killed?

Should I confront someone who is robbing me with swords and knives?

It seems that the moment he decided to help Zed block his father's self-destruction, the mindset of this young leader who had just taken over as the Eye of Twilight underwent a complete transformation.

In the silent hall, Jie's voice came from behind Shen.

"Caution"

Shen turned around and looked at Jie behind him: "Jie, I want to know the truth, I want to know everything!"

Zed looked at Shen in front of him and sighed deeply. After experiencing so much, Zed knew that Shen was now qualified to know everything that had happened in the past.

At this moment, the two who were once as close as brothers stood facing each other, and Jie softly recounted the past.

After witnessing Noxus's massacre of the Ionian people while the Kinkou Order remained indifferent, Zed decided to defect from the Kinkou Order.

Later, when Zed decided to return to the Kinkou Order to steal the Tear of Shadows once again, Kushner stood in his way.

Having abandoned everyone else, Ku Shuo and Jie arrived at the back mountain of the Balance Sect.

It was here that Ku told Jie, who was originally preparing to fight his master, about his plan.

It turned out that after witnessing the departure of the disciples of the Balance Sect and the departure of his most outstanding children, Ku Shuo had also thought a lot about it.

In order to prevent Ionia from being invaded by Noxus again, he made a decision that violated the doctrines of the Order of the Kinkou:

He returns to Shadowlands with Zed and secretly plots everything to help Ionia fight against Noxus!

However, Kushuo is, after all, the current Twilight Eye. If he really does this, the already turbulent internal affairs of the Order of the Balance will undoubtedly fall into even greater chaos.

However, Ku Shuo eventually came up with a perfect solution to all of this.

He has a way to leave the Order of the Balance without causing turmoil within the Order, and he can also protect Ionia from the shadows.

However, this method requires one to bear endless infamy.

That's why he died at the hands of Jie!

Only in this way can he disappear from people's sight in a natural way, and the Order of the Balance will not be affected in the slightest because Shen succeeds as the next Eye of Twilight.

Ku said he had asked Jie if he was willing to do this.

Jie's answer was calm and firm: "Whether I have a good reputation or a bad one, I don't care!"

And so, a fake death operation, which was kept secret from everyone, quietly began.

From that day on, Ku Shuo disappeared from people's sight; he "died" at the hands of Jie, the traitor of balance.

After returning to Shadowlands, Zed handed over control of Shadowlands to Kushu, while he himself began to wander throughout Ionia, secretly protecting this land that was battered by storms.

Ku Shuo did not disappoint Jie. After taking on the heavy responsibility of the Shadow Stream, he quietly developed the Shadow Stream's power and secretly established an organization called the Navoli Brotherhood in Navoli Province.

The Shadow Stream and the Brotherhood of Navori together contributed immensely to Ionia's victory over Noxus.

However, after Noxus was repelled, everything began to develop in a way that Zed had never expected.

After prolonged exposure to Shadow Tears, Ku Shuo's mind began to be gradually distorted, and he began to crave the thrill of wielding power.

It was from that time that he released the 'Golden Demon' from the prison and had him stir up panic throughout Ionia in order to solidify people's reliance on Shadow Stream and the Brotherhood of Navori.

Once the time was right, he planned to ambush and kill Jie!

At this point, Jie's story was nearing its end.

In the main hall, Jie stood in front of Shen, the sharp blades on his arms slowly retracting, and an aura of relief emanated from him.

"Shen, do it. I have nothing left to hold me back now!"

Upon hearing Jie's words, Shen slowly shook his head.

"Ionia needs the Shadow Stream as it is today, and it needs you, the Lord of the Shadow Stream, even more!"

Zed turned his gaze outside the hall and suddenly chuckled softly: "The Lord of Shadows already has a suitable successor!"

"not enough!"

Shen raised his head and looked into Jie's eyes: "At least, your disciple can't go with me to hunt down the Golden Demon like you! Without your help, I feel it's going to be difficult."

"!!!"

The moment Jie finished speaking, a violent fluctuation appeared in his eyes.
