LOL: Let me touch your steel

"Calm down, Archmage. Things haven't come to this point yet."

Zhang Xu walked to Ryze's side and calmed him down:

"You agreed to stay by my side and supervise me so that I can't abuse the power of the rune. Why are you planning to use it yourself?"

"Zhang Xu, he is the mastermind behind everything."

Ryze did not intend to retreat. Even though he did not dare to use the power of the rune easily, it did not mean that he would never use this power. When necessary, he would not hesitate!

And now is what Ryze considers to be the necessary moment.

"I know I know."

Zhang Xu patted Ruizi on the shoulder and grinned: "To kill him, there is no need to use the troublesome power of runes."

As he spoke, Zhang Xu took a step forward and stood in front of Ryze, facing the even thicker black fog in the sky.

It really is...full of suffocating and suppressed resentment!

Ryze frowned, but didn't say much.

The battle between Zhang Xu and Naga Kaboros took place in Zhang Xu's void space. Ryze was not clear about the details of that battle, and naturally he was not clear about Zhang Xu's trump card.

But seeing Zhang Xu's confident look...

It should be trustworthy.

The rune marks on Ryze gradually dimmed, and the restless power began to dissipate, as if it had never appeared. Only Kai'Sa and Janna, who were closer to Ryze, felt this terrifying power that even made them feel palpitations.

Zhang Xu raised his head and looked at the strange smiling face made up of resentment and black fog in the sky. Feeling the suffocating and oppressive resentment, his sight seemed to penetrate everything and fell on Thresh.

Thresh also saw Zhang Xu coming out, and he was a little confused.

Ryze was clearly in a state of rage, and he had just laughed in his heart at the fact that Ryze's temper had not changed at all even after thousands of years. But he did not expect that Ryze's emotions would calm down so quickly?

Moreover, he gave the battle that belonged to the two of them to another guy.

Thresh narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to find clues from Zhang Xu. But strangely, he did not feel any power that could threaten him. Although Zhang Xu's body contained fluctuations of elemental magic, this power... was simply not worth mentioning.

But soon, Thresh found out that he was wrong, and very wrong!

Zhang Xu's body suddenly burst out with an astonishing aura, and a flashing golden glow began to bloom on the surface of Zhang Xu's body and quickly spread to the surroundings.

This powerful force actually dispersed the thick black fog in the air in one fell swoop!

Even the strange smiling face composed of resentment and black fog in the air began to tremble uncontrollably. Thousands of resentful spirits, as if they had seen some kind of natural enemy, all let out sharp whistles at the same time!

The next moment, the brilliant golden light expanded rapidly at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, and a terrifying energy storm that almost swallowed up the entire Shadow Island swept through it!

This power...

Ryze's face suddenly changed. On Zhang Xu's body, at the center of this energy storm, he felt a power that did not belong to this world!

Even beyond runes!

"Is this... the power Zhang Xu obtained during the Ascension Ceremony?"

Sivir brought Sarah to the side of Kassadin and Janna, feeling this very familiar yet unfamiliar power, and subconsciously swallowed the liquid secreted from her throat.

"It seems...right? It's very similar to the power of ascension, but it doesn't seem to be the power of ascension."

Cana's pupils were completely dilated. Even she was amazed at this terrifying power. If she were to face this terrifying power, she would probably not be able to confront it head-on.

run?

It doesn't seem realistic.

------

The vast universe, the dark starry sky, countless stars, and the dazzling Milky Way. The depth and vastness of the universe is like a vast and boundless painting, and the stars are like beautiful notes in the poem of the universe.

A figure drifts in the silent universe, traveling in the cyclotron resonance between star clusters. For this ancient and mysterious bard, the magnificent night sky is a mysterious and delicious symphony.

Until he felt a trend of disharmony, and a series of hollow yet loud ecstatic sounds began to echo in his ears.

Among the countless astral realms, he quickly found the origin of this note.

The place he was once full of interest in, a world with its own songs - Runeterra.

He stayed in that world for a long time and heard almost all the sounds in that world. But the notes that reached his ears now did not belong to that world.

A voice from beyond the astral plane.

He was very familiar with this voice.

Will this unpredictable force have an impact on the world? Will it interfere with the natural cosmic order of all things?

Bud turned his gaze back to the heavens.

The destination for the next journey has been determined.

He would take on the role of caregiver - just as he once had.

Chapter 216 The Power of the Dragon King

The terrifying energy storm was raging wildly on the land of Shadow Island, and the resentment that was originally rising to the sky seemed insignificant at this moment.

Feeling this terrifying power, Thresh's expression changed slightly, and a pale color appeared unnaturally on his face.

Thresh was certainly confident that he dared to walk out in front of so many people and even challenged Ryze. Even if he couldn't defeat so many people, at least if he wanted to leave, these people would definitely not be able to stop him.

But now it seems that his actions were too arrogant!

Thresh took a deep breath, and the lantern in his hand continued to flicker. The dark green light reflected on his body, exuding endless resentment.

Under his control, the resentment in the sky began to expand violently, like a balloon that was constantly being inflated, swelling endlessly.

Until it reached a critical point, a violent explosion suddenly sounded in the air.

The powerful explosion echoed like thunder, and strange energy waves surged in all directions, as if to destroy everything around them.

But compared to the terrifying energy storm, this level of explosion...

Still seems not worth mentioning.

The brilliant golden light swallowed up everything in an instant, and soon, only a ball of dazzling light was left in front of Thresh's eyes.

The dazzling light made it almost impossible for everyone around to open their eyes, and the terrifying aftermath of the energy storm made everyone's bodies tremble uncontrollably.

Only a few people with the strength of demigods can barely maintain their bodies.

Fortunately, the weaker ones were protected by others. Sivir, who had undergone the perfect ascension ceremony, protected Sarah and prevented her from being strangled by the aftermath of the energy storm; Gwen escaped by chance with the help of the portal drawn by Vigus; as for the four Sentinels of Light who came later, they also survived safely with the help of Ryze, who had some connection with the Sentinels of Light.

When the light gradually faded, everyone regained their vision and finally saw Zhang Xu again.

But Thresh's figure had long disappeared.

"Grey's dead?"

There was a flash of surprise in Ryze's eyes. Judging from the current situation, this guy must be dead, and it is even possible that his soul has been torn apart.

But he had a premonition in his heart that this guy was definitely not dead yet!

Based on his understanding of Grayler...there is no way this guy could die so easily!

Zhang Xu's next move seemed to confirm his judgment. He looked around and quickly locked onto his target. Ryze's sight also followed Zhang Xu's move and fell on the huge pit in front.

This pit should have been created by the tremendous energy storm just now.

Ryze's pupils shrank slightly, and in that pit, he saw Thresh's lantern!

Zhang Xu frowned, looking a little surprised.

Naga Kabouros was able to barely resist the power of the Dragon King with the power generated by eternal motion, but now even Thresh could survive under this terrifying power?

Zhang Xu's gaze fell on the lantern that seemed to have completely dimmed.

Hammerstone...

Seems to be hiding inside.

Zhang Xu withdrew his gaze, covered his chest and nodded thoughtfully.

In the past, the void energy in his body always occupied a larger part. Every time he obtained a part of the ascending energy, he had to use the eternal flame and the void energy to achieve a new balance, so as to further master the void.

But when the power of the Dragon King appeared in his body, the situation was reversed.

The void energy in his body could not reach a balance with the power of the Dragon King.

Or perhaps it could be said that the Dragon King's power was too disdainful to even consider the balance issue. He simply used his higher status to forcibly suppress the nothingness in his body.

This resulted in that although the power of the Dragon King existed in his body, he had no way to fully mobilize this power.

This seemed to be the reason why I was unable to use this power twice in a row the last time I faced Naga Kabouros.

Of course, this is just Zhang Xu's own guess.

The specific details will have to wait and try again to confirm.

Zhang Xu shook his head, withdrew his thoughts, looked at the lantern that was still motionless, and sneered.

It seems like Thresh is planning to be a coward until the end?

Do you really think that if you hide in a lantern, I can't do anything to you?

Zhang Xu stretched out his right hand, and a cluster of flames instantly shot out from his palm.

Zhang Xu simply threw the small flame in his palm gently forward. The small flame jumped up instantly, and in a flash formed a blazing flame that quickly spread towards the lantern!

The raging fire instantly enveloped the dim lantern, and the scorching flames seemed to have the momentum to burn everything and would never stop.

Not long after, a distorted wave appeared like a lantern - Thresh's figure reappeared in everyone's sight.

However, Thresh no longer had the evil charm he had before, and he looked extremely miserable. His originally intact robes had become tattered, and his body was covered with dense and tiny scars. He seemed to be soaked in blood, like a bloody man.

Thresh was breathing heavily, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Xu.

He had never imagined that Zhang Xu would possess such terrifying power.

The terrifying energy storm almost tore him apart! Although he had collected thousands of years of vengeful spirits, making his strength surpass Viego, facing this terrifying power, Thresh still felt like an ant.

At the critical moment, if I hadn't made a quick decision and hid in my lantern, I would probably have died by now!

Thinking of this, Thresh's gaze gradually shifted and fell on the lantern beside him.

The lantern has now become completely useless and no longer has the ability to collect and capture evil spirits.
