Genshin Impact: Rise of the Desert

The Red King once invited Rhinedoth to modify some humans by injecting the Red King's blood into their bodies, causing them to merge.

To highlight Rhinedot's achievements, those who survived the experiment were called "Golden Humans".

The product of marriage between gold and mortals is called gilding.

The descendants of the seven attendants under the Red King are called the "Priest Descendants".

The Moscow tribe was originally called the Qiyan tribe, and its rulers were the Borjigin family.

The Borjigins are considered "golden," but they are all gambling addicts who choose inbreeding to purify their bloodline.

Therefore, the tribe was inhabited by people with disabilities or intellectual impairments for generations, and the last chieftain of the Qiyan tribe, Tuotuo Buhua Borjigin, was a cripple.

Although he was lame, Toghtoa Bukha was of relatively normal intelligence. He married a common woman and had two daughters, who were married off to Rurik and Timur respectively.

Kiyan, in the ancient desert language, means noble. When Ivan was five years old, the noble Toghtobukha fell from his horse and died, and Varisi, the then patriarch of the Rurik family, succeeded him.

Valish changed the tribe's name to Moscow, which in the ancient desert language means "in the forest."

Just as the tribe's name suggests, after Warisi took over, he planted date palms extensively, which made the soil more stable.

After the above bloodline purification, Ivan and Hezhong's strength became much greater than that of ordinary people.

Logically speaking, as a "gilded" Ivan, even if he wasn't gold, possessing the power of the Red King, Ivan should be stronger than Sino.

However, Seno possesses the Eye of God, fully developing the power of the priest, and his bloodline is filled with the power of Hermanubis.

They can dive hundreds of meters at will, and go a month without food or water without any impact on their health or stamina. They can leap ten meters in a single bound, and their strength is so great that they can easily crush a piece of Mora!

After landing, Seno was less than five meters away from Ivan. He turned sideways, held his gun, and stabbed Ivan hard in the back!

Ivan turned around while running, drew two heavy scimitars from his waist, and used the blades and guards of the scimitars to touch the spear shaft with his left arm, slowing down the spear's speed.

At the same time, he shifted his body to the right, pointing his right-hand scimitar at Seno's heart.

Neither of them stopped. Seno continued his charge, and Ivan, who had just turned around, was unable to dissipate the force of his run and was constantly retreating.

"Hmph, you dare to show off your meager skills before an expert?"

Seno snorted coldly, slamming the tip of his spear against the hilt of his scimitar. Using the momentum of his charge, he leaped onto the pole and landed about five meters behind Ivan. In the blink of an eye, he was about five meters in the air behind Ivan.

Sino suddenly spun the gun barrel he was holding, kicked the butt of the gun, and sent the spear shooting out like an arrow, while he himself flew into the sky again.

Then, Seno silently activated the elemental burst [Sacred Ritual: Radiant Glory Follows the Wolf].

A phantom image of a jackal's head covered Seno's head, like a helmet, and his arms transformed into enormous claws. All of the above was forged from lightning elements.

At this moment, Sino resembled a gorilla, not a jackal.

Ivan had stopped and turned around when he saw the spear hurtling towards his head.

The two curved swords slashed at the flying spear, but only slowed it down slightly, extending the time it took for the spear to hit its target by one second.

But in that very second, Ivan leaned back and bent over to avoid the spear's attack. His arms, unable to withstand the force of the spear, stretched to the sides, leaving Ivan wide open and bent backward, his eyes fixed on the sky.

In the sky, about twenty meters above the ground, Seno had already activated his elemental burst, his right claws reaching out towards Ivan, stretching out like rubber.

The Seven Sacred Spear Techniques

Ivan swung his scimitar upwards with his left arm, aiming for Seno's claws, but Seno grabbed him and slammed him to the ground. At that moment, Ivan bent forward, head raised, his left arm lowered, but his right arm also lowered simultaneously—in preparation for the next attack!

Seno's right arm retracted as if it were elastic, and Sky's body was carried to the ground at an extremely fast speed.

At that moment, Ivan saw the smile on Seno's lips.

What is he laughing at?

Is he laughing at me for being no match for his gun with two knives?

Was he laughing at my carefully planned scheme?

Or are they laughing at me for being willing to sacrifice myself for my people?

What's so funny about that?

Seeing the arrogance on Seno's face, Ivan felt an involuntary surge of anger.

"You will bleed to death for your arrogance!"

Ivan roared, drawing strength from who-knows-where, and with his left arm enduring the pain transmitted from the lightning element through the scimitar, he slashed upwards along with his right arm, striking at Seno's outstretched left claw.

Under immense force, Seno was once again propelled into the sky, but at this moment, Ivan's arms were injured by lightning, and blood gushed from his tiger's mouth.

Seno didn't understand why Ivan was suddenly angry; he was just happy to have found an opponent.

After following Jules from the temple in the desert to the Papal Court, Seno encountered many adventures along the way, and his martial arts skills visibly improved.

To this day, in the entire Sumeru Land, there are fewer than a handful of people who can fight him to a standstill. The most powerful criminals are undoubtedly the Gilded Brigade, but even their most defensively capable member, the [Magic Rock Servant], couldn't withstand two of his shots.

When was the last time I activated Elemental Burst? I can hardly remember.

Seeing the furious Ivan, Seno couldn't help but feel annoyed as well.

You're a criminal!

Why are you feeling wronged?

Thinking about all this, Seno waved his claws in the air, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Ivan threw the two swords into the air, then kicked the hilts of both scimitars. The two heavy scimitars spun and flew towards Seno.

The curved design of the scimitar gives it the ability to fly like a boomerang, and many desert people use this to prepare specially made throwing knives.

This move was originally something Ivan practiced as a child, but gradually, the more he practiced, the more skilled he became, and it eventually became Ivan's trump card.

Ivan gave this move a rather embarrassing name: "Golden Spin".

This is to commemorate Tuotuo Buhua, the former chieftain of the Qiyan tribe.

I should really kiss that horse!

Two curved blades flew from either side of Seno. Seno simply swung his claws to the side in response.

Accompanied by the clang of metal, the scimitar spun back along the same path.

After Cyno knocked the scimitar away, his claws converged above his head, and lightning element surged within them, creating a long spear of lightning element.

Elemental Combat Art: [Mystic Ritual: Soul Crossing from the Abyss]

After Ivan kicked the scimitar away, his body, due to the interaction of forces, turned into a bent-knee and sinking posture. This posture, facing Seno who was falling from the sky, was just right for him to throw a punch!

Ivan was itching to fight.

At this moment, Ivan's originally black pupils and hair faintly showed a pale gold hue.

This is the [Golden] power inherited from the Borjigin family. It can store damage to oneself and unleash it all at a crucial moment!

However, Ivan didn't know how much he could store, and he couldn't store anything from every attack.

Moreover, if it is stored for too long without being released, it can cause irreversible damage to the body.

Now is the time for release!

You have nowhere to run!

"Deliberate punch!"

Ivan's figure was now golden, as if his soul had left his body and clung to the surroundings. White mist emanated from his pores—a sign that the body was rapidly consuming water due to the high temperature.

"boom!"

The purple lightning spear collided with the golden fist, producing a tremendous roar and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Ten seconds later, when the smoke and dust cleared, Ivan lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, with purple arcs of lightning constantly dancing around his body.

Sinuo, slightly out of breath, slowly walked towards Ivan, raising his claws formed from lightning elemental energy, aiming at Ivan's heart.

at this time!

"Sino! Fuck your mother! Let our boss go!"

Sino's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he turned around.

Timur of the River Congo was carrying a scholar as if he were a chick, his long scimitar already piercing the scholar's abdomen. The scholar was in so much pain that he could no longer speak.

"He won't die immediately, as a soldier you know that, but that might not be the case in a while."

Sino sneered: "Given a future warlord of a desert region and a scholar, I know how to choose. Besides, I can still control the scholar's influence!"

Disciplinary officials, most of the time, have to make a big mistake to prevent an even bigger disaster.

The scholar controlled by the river looked at Seno in disbelief, his eyes revealing an incredulous expression.

"Oh? So, what about one hundred and fifty?" He Zhong sneered. "Everyone! Come here!"

The next moment, warriors of the Moscow tribe appeared one after another on the streets, rooftops, and houses in front of Seno.

Each of them had a scholar.
