Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

Yi used the blade of his sword to support his body and slowly stood up.

He looked up at Kayn: "Although I cannot determine the true origin of that weapon, I can clearly sense that you are already struggling even to deal with this scythe in your hand! You have a strong will, but a person's strength is always limited."

"Shut up!" Kayn suddenly hissed.

But Yi continued, "If you take that weapon but can't control it, the whole of Ionia will face disaster again because of you."

As he spoke, Yi slowly raised his hand, and in his palm, Kayn saw a strange blue Sanskrit mantra.

That was a life-saving item given to Yi by Karma, the Soul of Ionia, when Yi participated in the war between Ionia and Noxus.

But now, Yi has decided to give him to Kayn.

"Go back to Shadow Stream. The Soul of Ionia will guide you. You will gain power from it, but you will not lose your mind because of it."

Yi slowly turned around and looked into the Wuji Sword Sect. His back view was weathered and desolate.

“I have witnessed the violent deaths of my loved ones, and I know the world’s desire for power, but in pursuing power, we must also consider the enormous risks involved.”

“Disciple of Jie, I am a fellow teacher of Jie, and I believe your master would not want to see you take such a risky step in order to gain power.”

"!!!"

Kayn's body swayed suddenly.

He looked at the blue Buddhist mantra that Yi handed him, and a violent fluctuation appeared in his eyes.

He might not listen to others, but when Yi mentioned Zed, Kayn had to admit that a struggle arose in his heart.

"Rayast," Kayn whispered in his heart.

After a long silence, Laaste's hoarse voice drifted over.

“Kayn, Zolane can help us gain greater power, but at the same time, as this mortal said, you will need to bear greater mental pressure.”

"Actually, as long as you give me your body, even without Zolani, we can still be just as good as anyone else!"

"Laast, you stinking scythe!"

Suddenly, the instant Kayn finished speaking, Rhaast's tone became extremely urgent.

"Kayn, leave this place and go find Zuo Chi!"

"Hmm?" Kayn paused slightly, a look of confusion on his face.

But before he could ask, Laast's low growl came again: "Varus has attacked Zuo Chi! Varus wants to take Zolani away!"

"!!"

This time, Kayn didn't linger. He turned around abruptly, swept past Yi, and rushed into the depths of the Wuji Sword Sect.

He was like a formless blue ghost, completely unrestricted by any building; the moment his body touched the wall, he turned into a shadow and merged into it.

Regardless of Kayn's next choice, he must now stop Varus from taking Zoranny away.

They must find Zuochi as quickly as possible!

Standing still, Yi held the sword horizontally in front of him and slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, a mysterious blue light emerged from around his body. Faced with this despairing tragedy, Yi forced himself to enter a meditative state.

Time passed slowly, and Yi was surrounded by silence, with only the distant roar of the cascading waterfall.

After an unknown amount of time, when Yi opened his eyes again, his face showed an unparalleled determination.

This time, it's not too late!

Unlike last time when he could only look at the corpses of his relatives and friends with regret, this time, what can he still do?

Upon seeing this, a powerful sword intent burst forth from Yi's body, soaring straight into the sky, and the cyan sword blade in his hand began to emit a continuous buzzing sound.

Immediately afterwards, Yi transformed into a streak of azure light and rushed towards the depths of the Wuji Sword Sect.

Yi's figure disappeared swiftly, and the turmoil in the outer courtyard of the Wuji Sword Sect completely subsided, leaving only ruins to testify to the fierce battle that had taken place there.

Perhaps, as Yi said before, the Wuji Sword Sect did not provoke anyone, but he overlooked one point: "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

From the moment he decided to take the curved chainsaw from the Illusionary Mist Sword Pool, the gears of fate began to slowly turn.

Wuji Forbidden Land.

After enduring Varus's fierce attack, the Ascended Dagger that had been with Zuo Chi since he arrived in Runeterra was now riddled with cracks.

The soft female voice lingered in Zuo Chi's ears, while a pair of seductive hands constantly tugged at his mind.

Zuo Chi shook his head vigorously and looked straight ahead with a solemn expression.

"boom!"

The rock spikes summoned by Zuo Chi were all shattered, and his figure, shimmering with a dark purple light, soared into the sky before crashing heavily to the ground.

Slowly straightening up, Varus looked directly at Zuo Chi: "You should go back to Shurima, not get involved in the Darkin's affairs here!"

Varus's eyes held endless emotions; he seemed to be recalling those unbearable times of the past once again.

Knowing that his homeland was in peril, he was unable to return home to protect his loved ones because he was guarding the temple in Shurima.

Knowing full well that his mind was affected by the void, he still willingly fell into depravity like the other ascendants.

Knowing full well that he should have sought out Nasus and worked with him to preserve the shattered empire, he was unable to overcome the evil in his heart and gradually descended into the abyss of complete depravity, watching as the once-great empire was buried in the yellow sand.

Varus did not want Ascended beings like Zuo Chi, whose minds were not affected by the Void, to get involved in the affairs of the Darkin.

As a Darkin, he knew better than anyone just how deep this pit was!

How could a race that once occupied the entire Runeterra be simple?

Zuo Chi was able to sense Varus's intentions, but what Varus didn't know was that Zuo Chi's Ascension power did not originate from the Sun Disc, nor was he an Ascended from Shurima.

His perspective was completely different from Varus's. Varus had his reasons for wanting Zoranny, and Zuo Chi also had his reasons for helping Laast stop Varus.

Sheathing his longsword, Zuo Chi said calmly, "Laast has done me a favor, and I should help him accomplish this task."

"Rayast's territory was once located in the central part of Runeterra. Although he was on good terms with Aatrox, he had never fought Zolani. He had no idea how terrifying Zolani's blood magic was!"

Varus was losing control of his emotions. He roared at Zuo Chi, "And I, I watched with my own eyes as my sisters were controlled by Zolani's blood magic. I know better than anyone how evil that power is. Rhaast is no match for Zolani!"

"Today, I must destroy Zolani! Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

As he spoke, Varus turned in the direction of Zolani.

Suddenly, cracking sounds rang out from the middle of the longbow in his hand, and a dense crimson light continuously poured into the longbow from the surrounding air, and a crimson arrow was rapidly taking shape.

"Crack!"

Four sharp claws spread out from the middle of Verus's longbow, forming a protective arch around the arrow and continuously supplying it with terrifying power.

A violent force burst forth from his body, and his white hair was blown about by the wind.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his former self, transforming once again into the invincible ascended archer who could take on ten thousand men single-handedly.

Zuo Chi stood behind Varus, staring at him with an inscrutable expression.

Is Varus, being a Darkin, truly capable of destroying a Darkin's physical form?

As far as Zuo Chi knew, it seemed that there had only been one instance in the past few thousand years where the Darkborn's physical body was shattered and its form and spirit were destroyed.

But the protagonist of that story is none other than Nasus, the war god of the Shurima Empire!

Moreover, the Darkin who was killed was severely injured and much weaker than other well-known Darkins.

Now, Zoranny is much stronger than the Darkin who was killed by Nasus. Under these circumstances, can Varus destroy Zoranny's true form?

If it could be destroyed, wouldn't that mean Varus's combat power is even greater than Nasus's, the god of war of the empire!

The dense crimson light completely illuminated the entire Wuji Forbidden Land, staining everything within it with a chilling crimson hue.

In a single instant, the arrow on Verus's longbow solidified to its absolute limit.

"Tap! Tread!"

The moment the footsteps sounded, the arrow on Varus's longbow flew out!

"Buzz!"

Wherever the arrow passed, ripples spread through the space, and everything around the arrow was instantly leveled.

Amidst the scattering of wood chips, the crimson arrow traversed the Boundless Forbidden Land and arrived before the curved chainsaw.

As the arrow tip made contact with the curved chainsaw, an energy explosion powerful enough to flatten a mountain spread to every corner around it.

Although Varus's target was not other parts of the Boundless Forbidden Land, the aftershocks of the explosion didn't care about that, and spread wildly to every corner around it.

However, just as this power was about to spread to all around, Zuo Chi's figure disappeared from the spot.

The sea beast mark between his brows lit up, and a divine phantom tens of meters tall emerged from behind him, its enormous tentacles waving continuously. He seemed to transform into a blazing sun, and a powerful force of ascension poured out from his body, forming a large net that completely enveloped the aftershocks in front of him.

Blood and gold intertwined as Zuo Chi and Varus vanished completely in the blinding light.

After an unknown amount of time, the crimson light enveloped by the power of ascension slowly faded, and the two figures standing within it also emerged.

Containing the ascending power emanating from his body, Zuo Chi looked up ahead.

It's time to find out whether Varus's arrow destroyed Zoranny.

But when Zuo Chi looked up at the front, he was completely stunned.

Because right in front of Zuochi, a huge passage leading to an unknown destination suddenly appeared!
