Morax's eyes were icy cold as he struck harder and faster.

He had a bad feeling that he had to end the battle as soon as possible and return to Liyue.

Chapter 219 The Living Dead Qingge

The armored man had completely lost his fighting ability. He was lying on the ground, not dead yet, but almost dead. He was just waiting for some god to have time to finish him off.

The man in black robes wasn't in good shape either. You'll understand why he's called the God of War when you face Morax head-on. That damned shield is incredibly thick; ordinary attacks simply can't break through it.

Add to that the presence of Barbatos, who can attack from a distance, and it's just too frustrating.

That's about enough. The deaths of two demon god-level warriors are sufficient. Let's save the black-robed man's words for now; they'll be very useful later.

However, this guy is a bit too overpowered and needs to be nerfed.

The man in black robes stood up, leaning on his sword. His aura was overwhelming, and his energy surged. A vast abyssal power continuously poured out of his body and into the long sword in his hand.

"Grandpa, be careful, it's going to fight to the death!"

This energy was even stronger than the one that struck him before. He hadn't used it during the long fight, so it must have had a huge impact on him.

Now that I know I have no chance of winning, I have no choice but to take a gamble.

This kind of enemy is the most dangerous; if you're not careful, you could easily be dragged down with them.

Even without Barbatos's reminder, Morax's attention was always on the man in black. This guy was elusive and not much weaker than him. If he were alone, he wouldn't be able to stop him at all.

After Morax cast a rock shield on his three gods, the black-robed man also started to move.

He leaped into the air, and in the instant his blade slashed down, his body seemed to split into five, each swinging a blade at a different angle, the combined light of the blades crashing fiercely into the shield that Morax had conjured.

click-

The shield shattered instantly, and Morax's expression turned solemn as he gathered a large amount of divine power into the rock spear, using offense as a defense.

boom--

The two top demon gods' most powerful attacks collided, blasting a huge crater into the battleground, with the aftershocks spreading further and further away.

Barbatos played a song of the heavens, stopping the aftershocks, which had been mostly exhausted, in the distance.

In the center of the battlefield, Morax's robes fluttered in the wind, and his amber-gold eyes shone brightly amidst the swirling yellow sand. If you looked closely, you could see a trace of golden blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Barbatos!"

"Alright, watch me now!"

Barbatos played the strings, and a fierce wind stopped the black-robed man who was halfway to escape.

At this moment, the black-robed man's cloak was mostly torn, and he was clutching his chest with his right hand.

In his previous head-on clash with Morax, he had injured Morax, but the backlash he suffered was even more severe, compounded by Morax's attacks...

Even tearing space caused problems, as it was stopped by Barbatos, who was prepared in advance.

After Barbatos stopped the man in black, Morax and Buyer also arrived.

"How is the old man?"

"It doesn't matter."

The Tree King has already treated itself, and since its body is not fundamentally damaged, it will only take a little more time.

The three gods stood in three directions to prevent the man in black robes from escaping.

"Hehehe, not bad, I admit defeat this time."

"What is your purpose?"

Barbatos asked coldly with a serious expression.

The man in black robes glanced at Barbatos with disdain. Although he had no eyes, he exuded contempt.

The man in black ignored Barbatos and continued speaking to himself:

"Clever, very clever little girl, she actually thought of such a way to evade our pursuit. Now that it's too late to retrieve it, so..."

The black-robed man's voice suddenly turned sinister: "Dragging two gods down wouldn't have been a wasted trip..."

The energy within the black-robed man's body rapidly increased, quickly reaching a terrifying level.

"No, retreat!"

Barbatos pulled the Tree King along, Morax cast a shield around them, and the three gods retreated hastily.

boom--

After another loud bang, another large hole appeared in the desert.

The three gods watched from afar; the black-robed man's aura had vanished, it seemed he had truly self-destructed.

"call--"

The Tree King let out a breath. He had just woken up and was already experiencing such a thing. Fortunately, he had the help of his two old friends.

However, what did that man in black robes mean by what he just said?

Morax looked in another direction and threw a rock spear.

The armored man, who had been lying on the desert with only his last breath, died completely.

"Cough cough~"

Morax couldn't help but cough.

"Morax, I will heal you."

"Grandpa, is it serious?"

Morax waved his hand: "I have urgent business to attend to. I'll meet you again when I'm done."

After saying this, Morax immediately headed towards Liyue.

……

Somewhere in the desert.

Suddenly a crack appeared in the air, and the black-robed man, who was thought to be dead, fell out of it.

The man in black robes crashed heavily onto the desert, then staggered to his feet.

He turned and looked towards a spot in the desert, letting out a disdainful snort.

The man in black robes hadn't walked far when his legs gave way and he collapsed onto the desert floor.

……

The world of players.

The war between the gods got the players excited, the golden blood at the corner of Zhongli's mouth caused the barrage in Chen Xiyao's live stream to explode, and the scene of the black-robed man escaping without dying broke their collective defenses.

The destructive power is simply unparalleled!

[Waaaaah, Zhongli is injured, I feel so sorry for him...]

[This guy isn't dead!!!]

[Holy crap, this is bad, are they planning something?!]

[It's over. Zhongli and the others didn't know it wasn't dead. This thing is a complete potential threat.]

[Is it that strong? Even the combined attack of three gods couldn't kill it?]

It seems to be seriously injured. In its current state, we... uh... we probably still can't beat it...

[Someone come quick! Finish this guy off!]

I have a feeling that if it doesn't die, what's coming next will absolutely send my blood pressure soaring!

【…】

……

Liyue.

A little earlier.

After Morax left, the puppet Qingge used emotional feedback to bypass Morax's scheme and successfully stole her own corpse.

This time, Qingge doesn't plan to do the same thing as Ruola.

It seems that the process of collecting Qingge's soul was rushed, which caused some abnormalities. We can use this as a starting point.

Qingge rearranged the grave-digging site to make it look more like the corpse had dug itself out of there. To make it more realistic, she even used some emotional feedback to enhance the scene.

After everything was arranged, the puppet Qingge's body slowly transformed into the real Qingge. The severed arm was gone, and the face had a withered and pale look with blood flowing down it.

It looks very creepy.

Okay, from now on, she is no longer the puppet Qingge, but a living dead influenced by the abyss, but due to her soul, she retains some memories of her previous life...

Chapter 220 The Kabuto

As the sun was about to set, the red glow of the evening sky shone on Qingge's face, bringing a touch of life to her pale and stiff features.

Her movements were somewhat stiff. She slowly raised her hand, lowered her head, and remained silent for a long time, staring at her right hand, which was now unrecognizable.

Then, Qingge slowly descended the path of Tianheng Mountain, her movements slow and stiff.

If someone were to appear here at this moment, they might be terrified by such a clear and melodious song.

Fortunately, we didn't encounter any strangers on the way down the mountain, but of course, we didn't encounter any acquaintances either.

She concealed her presence and disappeared at the end of the path.

……

After disengaging from the battle, Morax reverted to his original form, Zhongli.

He returned to Liyue at lightning speed and breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that the methods he had left behind had not been triggered.

But Zhongli soon realized that he had relaxed too soon.

Upon arriving at Tianheng Mountain, Zhongli saw an open coffin exposed to the air, with only half a severed arm remaining inside.

Zhong Li clenched his fist, which trembled slightly from the force.

"presumptuous!!"

The two words that Zhongli uttered were like a thunderclap, and everyone in Liyue Harbor could hear them clearly.

Upon hearing this roar, the Liyue people nearly had their hearts skip a beat, their hearts filled with fear and shock.

In the Jade Pavilion, Ningguang was working. Liyue had also noticed the commotion that had just occurred in Sumeru. Ningguang was about to ask the Emperor about it when she heard this roar before she even set off.

She quickly stood up, her expression serious.

"Emperor..."

Given the Emperor's temperament, what could have happened?!

So many things happened at the last Lantern Festival that Ningguang is now quite paranoid.

The Emperor is now furious; we must find out the truth as soon as possible.

"Bai Shi, go and call Ye Lan... never mind, I'll go myself..."

……

Yujingtai.

Upon hearing this roar, Ge Chenlang City True Lord immediately set off for Tianheng Mountain.

Before setting off, she brought her guzheng with her.

……

Hall of Rebirth.

Hu Tao could still hear Zhong Li's voice clearly. She ran to the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth, stared at Tianheng Mountain, and clasped her two little hands tightly together.

"Your Majesty, you must protect Zhongli..."
