Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Even if they can only use 30% of their strength, they are still not to be underestimated.

Keep in mind, this is the Rock Elemental Dragon King, whose strength is on the same level as the Demon God, or even surpasses it.

"Then let me try to defeat the Dragon King at 30% of his strength!" Jiang Bai was eager to try.

It's time to see how much his strength has recovered.

With that, he drew his knife and charged forward.

"Aren't we going to help?" Kun Jun asked, seeing that they weren't moving.

"No need. Since Xiaobai is confident, let him go."

Since Morax was so confident, Kun Jun didn't say anything more.

He had originally planned to use his remaining strength to weaken Ruoda's power, but it seems that he no longer needs to.

Kong's gaze swept over Kun Jun, as if he were deep in thought.

The closer you get, the more you can feel the immense size of the dragon.

Jiang Bai felt like a tiny, insignificant pebble at the foot of a mountain, smaller than Ruo Tuo's fingernail.

However, Roda completely ignored him, only seeing Morax.

"Morax!"

The roar was like a storm as the car drove by, kicking up clouds of dust and gravel.

"Stop yelling, your opponent is me!"

Jiang Bai jumped onto its head and stabbed it hard with both hands, gripping the long knife.

Bai Yuan felt as if he were stabbing into a thick layer of rock, without any sense of touching flesh and blood.

Ruo Tuo felt as if he had been bitten by a mosquito, barely noticing anything, and continued his momentum as he charged towards Zhong Li.

Its body was enormous, and its movements were like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart, as if the entire ground was about to shatter.

Jiang Bai grabbed the protruding rocky keratin layer on his head, gathered rock element under his feet, and stomped down heavily.

thump—

Ruoduo's momentum suddenly stopped, and a large pit appeared in the ground, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading out in all directions.

A massive bolt of purple lightning appeared, striking Ruoda below with unparalleled force.

Taking advantage of the moment when the lightning struck Ruotu, Jiang Bai stomped on his head and jumped down.

He landed back on the ground and slashed horizontally with his sword.

A powerful golden blade of light flew over the head of the Dragon King Ruoduo, slicing off its tail, which was covered with the Fulong Tree, as if leveling a mountain.

Golden blood, like sand, sprayed out, and its tail slammed to the ground with a loud thud.

Now that his tail was gone, Ruoduo was enraged. His hatred had been completely drawn to Jiang Bai, and he temporarily put Morax aside.

"Big Fat Dragon, do you finally know who your enemy is?"

The only response he received was an elemental attack filled with rage.

Jiang Bai slid in to avoid the elemental torrent spewing from its mouth and landed under its belly.

A massive rock elemental spear instantly emerged from the ground, piercing directly through its enormous belly.

With his tail gone and having taken such a blow, Ruoduo staggered for a moment.

Jiang Bai certainly wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by, and various attacks came one after another, with wind, rock, and thunder appearing one after another.

Not long after, the enormous Naga King Ruoduo was flipped over, belly up, onto the ground.

Jiang Bai landed on his stomach, his chest heaving violently.

King Ratna was very strong, even comparable to the ridiculous movies of that time.

However, while Lei's movies rely on their unparalleled martial arts skills, Ruo Tuo is different. His reason has been completely consumed by rage, and his fighting style is not very skillful, relying only on instinct.

It is the strongest elemental dragon king among elemental beings, and it is used to crushing others, and does not understand what skill is.

Jiang Bai could control less of the elements, but his combat skills and awareness were far superior.

Chapter 657 Long time no see, my old friend.

Moreover, the Dragon King, who was not in a daze, was completely led astray by Jiang Bai's trash talk, which gave Jiang Bai even more opportunities.

Jiang Bai sat directly on his stomach, and the lightning element transformed into a huge electric net, temporarily locking the unable-to-turn-over Ruo Tuo Dragon King in place.

Kun Jun looked at Jiang Bai in surprise, completely unprepared for the battle to end so quickly.

He looked at Zhongli and chuckled, "Morax, you've taken on a good disciple."

Zhongli's face showed a hint of helplessness, "This disciple sometimes gives me a real headache."

"Wait, wait!" Paimon was confused by their conversation.

"Kun Jun, who exactly are you?"

"I'll tell you soon."

Neither of them rushed to answer the question.

"Little White, get down."

Zhongli looked at Jiang Bai, beckoned, and Jiang Bai ran over immediately.

"Hehe, Master, how was it? Aren't I awesome!"

Zhongli tapped him on the head.

"Although there are no restrictions on the means of combat, I am a little angry that you cut off Ruoda's tail."

"Huh, why?" Jiang Bai, who was expecting praise, was a little confused.

"Don't worry, Morax, it will grow back."

Kun Jun didn't care about his injuries.

Jiang Bai looked at Kun Jun, then at Zhong Li, completely bewildered by the current situation.

Is this Kun Jun really the Dragon King? And why is he calling Morax?

As Jiang Bai was bewildered, a beam of light emerged from Ruo Tuo Dragon King, and the little girl who had led the miners to the South Heavenly Gate suddenly appeared, letting out a maniacal laugh.

"Hahahaha! Is this God's plan? Destroy what you don't need, and lead the butcher to ravage the wilderness!"

“Ruo Tuo…” Zhong Li sighed.

His heart, which was as firm as a rock, couldn't help but ache when faced with his friend's questioning.

“No, you’ve forgotten,” Kun Jun said, interrupting the little girl.

Kunjun looked at Zhongli, his eyes as clear as ever, just like when they first met in Liyue Harbor.

"Even though you already know who I am, I still want to say: It's been a long time, Morax."

A faint smile appeared on Zhong Li's face.

"Long time no see, old friend."

Kun Jun smiled at Jiang Bai and the other two beside him, took a few steps forward, and stood facing the little girl.

"Wait! Kunjun is the Dragon King of Ruotu, and that one is also the Dragon King of Ruotu. Which one is the real Dragon King of Ruotu?" Jiang Bai was a little confused.

“We are all Naga King Ratna. To be precise, I am not the complete Naga King Ratna, but a small fragment.”

"Shards?"

“Heaven and earth, yin and yang, the two polarities, you can regard me and the Dragon King over there as such beings. We are both incarnations of the will of the Dragon King Ruo Tuo.”

Jiang Bai nodded; it wasn't hard to understand.

The little girl who was the incarnation of Ruoda looked incredulous.

"No, it's impossible!"

Clearly, she was completely unaware of Kunjun's existence.

Kunjun looked at her and explained the reason for all of this.

"After the barrier loosened, your power manifested as a child in the outside world. You kidnapped the miners, intending to break through the seal by attacking from both inside and outside in order to dig out the entrance to the seal."

After explaining the origins of the little girl, Kunjun turned to talk about himself.

"And I am another force that awakened when the seal loosened, so weak that I cannot form an individual on my own, and can only possess a human."

"My consciousness is completely muddled; I can't even remember who I am, and I only react to things related to the past..."

"I have only one goal: to find Morax and have him stop you."

Zhongli looked at him, her voice filled with emotion:

“I recognized you the moment I saw you. It’s just that your power was too weak back then, and you didn’t even remember who you were.”

"No wonder you suddenly changed your mind and brought me to see the Dragon King..." Jiang Bai muttered.

"So, what exactly is your relationship? One minute you're enemies, the next you're friends."

Although Zhongli told Jiang Bai that he and Ruotuo were friends before, it's really hard to say whether they are still friends now.

"Morax, should you speak or I speak?"

"It's fine, you can decide."

"Haha, you're still the same as ever. I'll do it then."

Kunjun recounted a story so long ago that even he himself had forgotten it:

"The Dragon King Rota was originally a close friend and comrade-in-arms of the Rock God Morax, and his lifespan far exceeded that of humans. However, the byproducts of the earth are just like the rocks on this ground..."

"The memory of rocks is not very long; only extremely strong emotions can remain within them. The longer time passes, the more blurred the memory becomes. [Wear and erosion] is the fuse that the world inflicts upon them."

Jiang Bai recalled his casual remark from that time.

"No wonder you were so emotional back then, you were talking about yourself..."

"Wearing away at the dragon king's mind caused him to gradually lose the ability to recall the faces of his old friends, and to forget the people he once knew."

The once-complete Dragon King has become irritable and aggressive…

"Humans have attacked the ley lines I depend on for survival! They have disturbed my peace!"

The little girl-shaped Ruoda was very angry.

It felt that what its other half was saying was completely false.

It's impossible for it to be a close friend or ally of Morax; there's only hatred between them!

Kun Jun did not refute, "That's why you attacked the Layered Rock Abyss, which led to that great battle with Morax."

Kunjun's memory seemed to have traveled back thousands of years.

"Initially, in order to expand their territory and develop production, the people of Liyue went into the mountains to mine."

"However, over-exploitation has caused earthquakes, which has caused us great suffering."

"【Wearing away】makes us like wild beasts. No matter how much we struggle, we continue to lose the ability to coexist with others... and lose our rationality."

"Can't wear and tear be changed?" Jiang Bai asked.

He had heard Zhongli mention wear and tear, and the reason Zhongli chose to abdicate was also because of wear and tear.

Is this a rule imposed by nature on life with an infinite lifespan, or some kind of constraint imposed by humankind?

Kun Jun shook his head. "We cannot fight against wear and tear. Even if Morax diverts its own strength to stop us from wearing down further, it will be in vain."

"Wear and wear are natural phenomena, beyond the reach of human power."

Jiang Bai frowned.

It's all the work of Heaven's justice.

Kunjun looked at the little girl that Ruoduo had transformed into, facing its questioning gaze.

"I am your final covenant, witnessing the agreement between King Ratna and Morax. You may be angry, but..."

You shouldn't deny me.
