he came from the void

The ground is a sickly light green, the air is sour, and it stings the nose and throat, as well as the eyes and lips.

There is no life here, and there is a caustic smell in the cracks in the soil, which cannot be washed away no matter how heavy the rainstorm is.

The distortion of the air is visible to the naked eye, and it can also be seen in the hot desert. It seems that there is an invisible fire burning on the scorched earth, making people daunting and afraid to step into their feet.

Kahn's skin armor didn't move. The chemical substances in the air can't be absorbed even by the void, but they are extremely poisonous to flesh and blood. It's really hard to imagine how Noxus dared to test this inhumanity on the battlefield. poison.

"Wuji Village was also destroyed by the alchemy flames, but it's not as serious as here, and the land can still be saved." Kai'Sa looked around and said with a sullen face.

"Hurry up, you can't stay in this place for a second." Kahn reminded Yasuo that this place made him fall into memories again, thinking of that rainy night.

"The Promise Swordsman...it's a pity." Yasuo sighed, reaching out to hold the hilt of the sword.

He closed his eyes and felt the faint air lingering around him, which made him more deeply aware of the restless undead in the air. They were bound in this evil land, including Noxus and Ionia People, as well as many snakes, insects, birds and beasts, all died badly.

Then he pulled out a part of the blade from the scabbard, and the wind surged from the gap between the two, surging around the blade, and the vortex became denser and denser.

Yasuo spread the whirlwind as he wanted, forming a physical barrier around the three of them, separating the poisonous gas.

Kahn felt that he was in the eye of the wind. A wind wall cut off the outside world. Although the upper part was open, there was no strong poisonous gas in the sky above, and the air was much fresher.

Of course, if it weren't for Yasuo being here, it would be safer for him to have full coverage.

"Although it can't completely cut off the air, it can delay us a lot of time." Yasuo maintained the posture of drawing the sword, and Kahn could only do it himself to bury the great sword.

"Is this how Yufeng swordsmanship is used?" Kahn jokingly put the big sword on the ground, took the shovel handed over by Kaisha, and the two started digging together.

"Yufeng swordsmanship, as the name suggests, is to move with the wind. To put it bluntly, this is the magic of manipulating the wind, but it turns the technique into a sword move. In fact, this swordsmanship is not difficult to learn, the key is that you have to have the talent to manipulate the wind .”

"So Elder Suma chose you because he thought you had the talent to control the wind?"

"Yeah, you can't tell how high a person's swordsmanship attainments are, but you can directly see your magic talent, so Elder Suma fell in love with me at a glance because I have the same skills as him. talent."

"It's cruel to say that a person like my brother can't learn Yufeng swordsmanship no matter how hard he tries."

Yasuo lamented that his older brother Yong En was unable to learn Yufeng swordsmanship, so he learned double swords instead.However, most Ionians have some passable magical talents, and they can still control a breeze if they bite the bullet and learn it.

"I also think that he should have worshiped under Wuji's sect at the beginning, that's the place for those who are dedicated to swordsmanship." Kahn explained: "I don't mean to slander Galewind Dojo, but Wuji Sword Dao has loose talent requirements. Some."

Wuji Kendo borrows magic from the spiritual realm, which is ubiquitous.Yufeng swordsmanship is to manipulate the wind in the environment, which is too limited in comparison.This is also the reason why only Yasuo in the entire dojo can learn Yufeng Swordsmanship.

"I chose Galewind Dojo at the beginning purely because of its proximity. Children don't know anything, so how can they know so much?" Yasuo laughed helplessly, but Kahn and the others stopped talking.

As they dug the ground, green poisonous gas visible to the naked eye began to seep from the cracks in the ground.

Kaenkasha held her breath, while Yasuo carefully changed the air flow, blowing away the poisonous gas immediately.

Chapter 4 Burial Sword

"It's almost there." Kahn looked at the one-meter-deep pit in front of him, and asked Kai'Sa to put down the shovel with him.

He raised the big sword and inserted it vertically into the pit, the height of which was almost level with the ground.However, as he untied the bandage between the hilt and the scabbard, the giant sword broke into several pieces and piled up at the bottom of the pit.

Yasuo had already seen this greatsword imbued with fel energy, black magic wrapped around the inscribed runes, and it would strike at the slightest provocation.

If the sword energizes at close range, even if he is prepared, he may not be able to defend against it.Looking at the sword, Yasuo sighed and gradually understood the situation at that time.

Kahn then filled the hole back with soil, compacting it until no visible traces could be seen.

"This sword is buried here."

"That's all right?" Kai'Sa said in astonishment, "Don't you need to add a seal or something?"

"Buried here so that those who come looking for the sword think Riven is dead," Karn explained.

Why take the sword away from Riven?Because if you don't do this, the sisters will turn against each other, and Riven will also be taken to the meat grinder arena to accept liquidation.

The best way to prevent this from happening is not to let the other party find Riven.

"Let's go when we're done, get out and get some fresh air." Yasuo coughed twice, and the caustic agent in the air made him feel like his throat was about to burn.

The three of them walked out of the dead, and Kahn asked Yasuo about the situation, and learned that he had rushed over to reverse the case after the Blossom Festival.

"Elder Suma's case has been overturned. Have you ever thought about going back to the ashram?"

"No, my hands are already stained with the blood of so many fellow disciples." Yasuo sighed, "I can't go back."

"So you're going to find your brother?"

"Well, I plan to go to the Palace of Eternal Existence to find the Apocalypse, and ask where Yong En is."

After having a goal, Yasuo is no longer so careless.In the past, he only knew to seek the truth, but he didn't know how to find it. He kept wandering around waiting for the truth to come out of the water.But now, he knew who to look for and how to look for it.

Although it was not easy to get close to Karma, those monks would not let a murderous sage approach them easily, but they finally had a target, which was much more reliable than waiting aimlessly for Yone to come to them.

"That place is Shang Zan in the east."

Seeing that Kahn fell into deep thought after saying this, Yasuo couldn't help asking: "Why, are you going to Shangzan too?"

"No, it's just that we just happened to be going east." Kahn replied.

They came from the south, Shadow Stream to the north, and Fero Island where the Noxus army was stationed in the west. Bloodshed and conflicts were inevitable wherever they went.

Although bloodshed and conflict cannot be avoided elsewhere, in general, it is relatively safer to go east.

But they will definitely not go to the Apocalypse without incident. That woman knows too many things, and she might know that it came from the void.

"Do you want to go with me as a companion?"

"Okay." Kahn didn't expect Yasuo to take the initiative to send out an invitation, so he agreed without thinking too much.

In fact, Yasuo had no money on him, so he wondered if he could grab some drinks at Kahn's place along the way.

The three hit it off immediately, and immediately walked eastward.

……

For the next fortnight the journey went fairly smoothly without encountering many of the Navoli bandits.Even if there was, Yasuolu scared people away with a few hands.

Gradually, Yasuo took the initiative to become their bodyguard.And all he wanted was a few sips of wine.

Maybe it's because Yone likes to preach to him, so Yasuo also likes to preach to others, even if he helps a child blow down a kite stuck in a tree, he also needs to say a few words, and after fighting a few bandits, he also needs to teach a few words.

Whenever this happened, Kahn always smiled and stuffed him with a jug of wine, telling him to say a few words less.In short, this is a person who is easy to get along with when drinking, but it is difficult to talk to each other.

On this day, the three of them arrived outside the city of Presidium in Navoli, and Yasuo walked in the front and reminded:

"If you want to go to Shangzan, you have to go through a large ridge. If you can't go around, you have to climb over it. We'd better settle in the city and go on the road after replenishing our things."

Yasuo pointed to the mountains in the distance. The northern end of the ridge was very high and covered with snow all the year round, even in warm spring.

"Of course it's fine. There's Presidio in front, at least you have to take a good look before you leave." Kahn readily agreed.

Presidio is the capital of Ionia. It is the center of culture and politics, and it is the center of culture and politics. Compared with other regions, it is very prosperous, so you can't just pass by it so hastily.

Yasuo smiled rarely, he shook the empty jug: "Just going to get some wine."

Kahn didn't understand what he was laughing at, it was obviously something to relieve his sorrows, and he drank it only when he was sad.But he didn't go back to dampen people's interest.

"Let me please, you have helped us a lot along the way." He said.

"That's what I said, a few little thieves, I know you can solve it yourself." Yasuo said modestly.

"There are other things. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to get to Presidium so quickly."

After entering the city gate, Kai'Sa took a peek at the tall city wall.

This wall is several times taller than the tallest tree in the forest. It is a combination of wood weavers urging and moving trees. It is a bit similar to the tree wall of Yixu Tal, but it is not so pure and dense.

"This city wall... always gives me the feeling of a big fence, not very strong." Kai'Sa was puzzled: "As the capital of Ionia, is the city wall of Presidium so sloppy? The fire will burn cleanly."

Presidio was a city that was conquered and retaken by Noxus, so Kai'Sa felt that it was strange that the city didn't learn its lesson and build a stronger city wall.

"The Noxians have succeeded in overthrowing the walls we built every time," Yasuo asked rhetorically. "What's the point of building taller and stronger walls?"

"Is there no outpost? This is the most basic function."

"It's not impossible, but you don't have to stick to the form so much, you have to take a closer look."

Following Yasuo's words, Kai'Sa looked at the city wall again.

This time, she saw guards hidden on the branches of the city wall, perfectly integrated into the huge thorny vines and branches, among them were humans, and there were vastaya with feathers or fur, carrying bows and arrows one by one, Tour the inside and outside of the city.

Apparently, these are sentinels.

"So that's how it is." Kai'Sa probably understood. Since these people can easily climb up the city wall for investigation, there is no need to build any special outposts.Eyeliner is everywhere.

"Although the Noxus can always break through our city walls, it is not useless." Yasuo began to preach again: "You know the siege monsters of Noxus?"

Chapter 4 Chapter Seven Trouble

"Did you mean the siege dragon lizard or the battering ram?"

Kai'Sa only asked two questions, but Noxus has a lot of things to use to attack the city.There are also things like catapults and heavy ballistas. Noxus should have invested a lot of funds in military affairs, especially siege equipment.

"Yes. Those things can't break through our city walls, because the tough vines and thorns will absorb the huge impact." Yasuo said.

"It's interesting."

"More than that, if the concentration of natural magic is high enough, the city wall will come alive and devour the enemy."

Kai'Sa couldn't help thinking of seeing the frigate in the southern jungle, swallowed alive by vines.

She could feel the natural magic rushing in Presidium, and the concentration of magic power here was indeed high, making her skin and armor ready to move.

The influence of the Eternal Flame after being stored in the body began to appear, and the flame would gradually strengthen the magical talent of the host. This didn't make much sense to Kahn, who was already outstanding in talent, but it had a significant effect on Kai'Sa, who was mediocre in talent.

Now she can even play some carpenter's tricks to give birth to certain plants.

"That's an indiscriminate attack, isn't the defender also suffering?"

"No, we have carpenter weavers, they will control the trees."

"It makes sense." Kai'Sa nodded, then turned her head and said to Kahn, "But I still think it can be burned with a single fire."

"..." Yasuo had a headache and hurried on his way in a muffled voice.

The three of them came to an inn, and Yasuo went in and directly chose a corner seat to sit down.

He has been used to living in isolation these years. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he would hide in the most inconspicuous corner when he occasionally went to the inn to inquire about information.

But even so, there were still troubles.

Not long after they sat down, at least the stools were not warmed up, a group of guards walked into the hotel, examining everyone with sharp eyes.

One of the guards, apparently a captain-like character, stared at Yasuo and the two at his table.

An ominous atmosphere rose in the hotel, and several guests stood up one after another and left the hotel in a hurry.The shrewd boss closed his eyes and hid behind the counter. If he hadn't had to watch the store, he would have slipped out right now.

"Trouble is at your door." Kahn watched the captain of the guard push aside a few chairs that blocked the way and walked towards them. It was obvious that the visitor was not friendly.

"I'm used to it. I was probably recognized by 'enthusiasts' when I entered the city, and reported to the government to eliminate harm for the people." Yasuo took another sip of his wine calmly, and explained casually.

The captain of the guard approached, stood at a distance of a sword from them, and looked at them with fixed eyes.

"Murderer!" said the captain, "you're hiding here. Finish your drink, it's your last glass anyway."

Inflamed by his mercy, the steel blade was unsheathed, and before anyone could react, Yasuo drew it and stood up, looking down at the room full of guards.

"This man's name is Yasuo." Facing Yasuo, the captain of the guard said word by word: "He was accused of murdering an elder. The crime deserves death, and he can be punished."

A guard carried a crossbow on his forearm.The other held a long bow as tall as hers, and also hitched a feathered arrow.

"Want to kill me?" Yasuo said. "Go ahead and try."

"Wait, Elder Suma's case has been overturned. Yasuo didn't kill the elder. It was an accident."

Kai'Sa stood up and explained to the guards, but they were unmoved.

As soon as the captain retreated to a safe place, he heard the sound of the machine gun, and the longbow vibrated sharply.

The guards shot, and all the arrows rushed to Yasuo's life goal!

In just one heartbeat, a gust of wind suddenly blew around Yasuo.

The wind stirred up everything along the way, the bowls and plates on the table fell one after another, the debris flew, and the tea and wine spilled on the floor tiles of the street outside the door.The gust of wind swept the arrow halfway through the flight, only to see a flash of knife light intersecting, and the arrow shattered into fragments and fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Yasuo defuse the attack easily, Kai'Sa said to him again: "Don't kill anyone, this is the main city."

Killing the officers and soldiers in Presidium will only lead to greater riots. By then, they will definitely cause trouble everywhere, and no store will welcome them.Don't do it if you can, all resorting to violence will only lead to the worst result.

"I have my own measure." Yasuo also knew that the two of them could not be involved, so he didn't take any further actions.

The two sides stalemate like this until the captain of the guard made a move.
