Chapter 59 Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to go to sleep
boom--!
As energy poured out every time a weapon hit a hard object, the cracks in the shield around Zhongli became clearer.
Seeing this scene, Zhongli instead showed a look of admiration between his brows.
Many demon gods in the past could not achieve this...
After Liu Bai had chopped off all the weapons in the air, this move came to an end. The massive release of energy made him breathless, but he still gripped the last weapon tightly and forced it to chopped towards Zhongli above. The silver-white sword energy poured out forward and upward.

After enduring the final blow, the shield finally shattered, but the remaining power was not enough to affect Zhongli. Before it reached him, there was only a strong airflow that made his clothes rustle.
"Your moves are impressive, but unfortunately they lack the necessary heat."
Zhongli commented thus, then raised his hand to catch the spear that flew back from a distance.
"Huh... Is this God? Brother Zhongli, you have such a hard tortoise shell..."
Liu Bai kept gasping for breath, and his hands were shaking due to the recoil of swinging his weapon against the shield.
"Ah."
"The sages can't hold Ruota back anymore. I have to solve this problem quickly."
Zhongli responded, looked back at the Ruotu Dragon King who was trapped in the formation, then raised his spear and attacked Liu Bai.
He did not intend to take Liu Bai's life, he just wanted to teach him a lesson and make him give up his unrealistic plan, so Zhongli's target of attack was just Liu Bai's abdomen as before, not other fatal parts.
He could feel the powerful vitality in Liu Bai's body, and it was impossible to kill him by ordinary means.
Liu Bai was now too tired to lift his weapon. Seeing Zhongli rushing towards him, he wanted to resist but he could not keep up with his speed. The Piercing Rainbow Spear, shining with the light of rock elements, pierced directly through Liu Bai's abdomen.
call out--
The teleportation started and Liu Bai disappeared from where he was.
"hiss……"
Right above Qingyun Peak, on the pavilion suspended in the air, Liu Bai rolled on the ground with his head covered in pain, as if he was under a spell. He had used teleportation too many times in a short period of time.
Without Nashida's treatment, it took Liu Bai a long time to recover.
“Didn’t you follow me…?”
Climbing up from the ground, Liu Bai looked down in confusion.
"I followed you."
When Liu Bai was confused, Zhongli's voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"Fuck..."
Liu Bai was startled and quickly flew away from Zhongli who was holding a spear, then raised his hand towards Zhongli.
“I picked this up!”
As Liu Bai finished his words, the Guanhong Spear in Zhongli's hand appeared in Liu Bai's hand out of thin air.
“It’s really amazing.”
Zhongli looked at his empty hands and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
He was sure that if he carried the Heart of God with him, it would probably be taken away by him.
"System, system, quick, quick, load the things for me!"
After snatching the Guanhong Spear, Liu Bai hurriedly shouted to his system.
"Ding Di, it doesn't meet the requirements. This item is not a necessity..."
"How come it's not a necessity? I have to put it away, otherwise I won't have anything to enjoy in my future life. Is this not a necessity?"
Liu Bai quickly interrupted the system.
"..."
The system was silent for a moment, and then the Guanhong Spear in Liu Bai's hand disappeared.
Seeing his weapon being put away, Zhongli shook his head and then slowly flew into the air, raising his right hand and pointing at the overcast sky.
The next moment, a rock spear as huge as a mountain condensed in the air.
As Zhongli gently waved his hand downwards, the huge rock spear pressed down towards Liu Bai like a meteorite.
"Mom..."
Seeing this legendary scene that could only be heard in storytelling, Liu Bai suddenly felt a huge pressure, and then he quickly raised his hand and knocked his head three times.
[↑Golden Head: Reduces 60% of head damage]
The damage reduction item was triggered, and Liu Bai took the initiative to rush towards the falling rock spear.
"I want to see whether Morax's rock spear is harder or my skull is harder!"
Liu Bai shouted and banged his head against the rock spear.
"..."
Zhongli's hand pointing downwards hesitated for a moment, but the rock spear had already hit Liu Bai's head.
"Ow—!"
Liu Bai let out a scream and then initiated the teleportation.
call out--
This should be the last teleportation that Liu Bai could withstand. When he teleported out of the attack range of the rock gun, the severe dizziness made his brain confused. He could no longer maintain flight and fell from the air.
Jueyunjian had been almost destroyed by the Ruotu Dragon King, so Zhongli no longer controlled the power of the rock spear and let it fall to the ground, while chasing after Liu Bai who was falling to the ground.
"...Brother Zhongli, you are awesome. Let's fight again another day."
Lying on the ice pit he had created on the ground, Liu Bai finally recovered. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhongli standing beside him. He had no choice but to raise his hand tremblingly and give him a thumbs up.
Liu Bai had always thought that his queen was the best, but it seemed that he needed to change this idea...
"Well, stop it. Give me the tools you used to subdue the Ruota Dragon King. I will return them to you after resealing the Ruota Dragon King."
Seeing that Liu Bai seemed to have given up, Zhongli's aura slowed down slightly, and then he stretched out his hand towards Liu Bai.
"No, I can't betray my allies..."
Liu Bai lay in the ice pit and shook his head, then he struggled to sit up.
"It's come to this... I have no choice but to go to bed."
"Brother Zhongli, see you tomorrow."
As he spoke, Liu Bai took out a cup of black tea out of thin air and drank it all in front of Zhongli.
“Gah—?!”
Then Liu Bai covered his throat and fell to the ground with a click, and he lost all movement.
[Concept item: Sleepy Black Tea: After drinking it, you will fall into a coma for 31.8 hours regardless of any factors, and your body will not suffer any damage during this period]
"Ok?"
Zhongli was a little confused, so he squatted down and gently pressed Liu Bai's neck with his fingers to check his condition.
"Are you unconscious?"
Zhongli looked at the red teacup in Liu Bai's hand with some confusion, and found that the remaining tea in it had not spilled at all.
Confused, Zhongli stretched out his finger, dipped a little, and used elemental power to deconstruct the components on it.
"It's just ordinary tea..."
The result of the deconstruction made Zhongli a little confused about Liu Bai's current situation.
Just as he was thinking, a roar resounded throughout the clouds again.
Roar--!
Along with the roar of the Dragon King, the immortals' formation was shattered, and the rock dragon lizards that came rushing over emerged from the ground, showing their claws and fangs towards the immortals who were hit hard by the backlash caused by the broken formation.
After breaking free from the formation, the scarlet gaze of the Ruotu Dragon King penetrated the mountains and locked onto Zhongli, who had already reached the other side of Jueyunjian.
"I have worked with you to bring peace to this land, but I will tear the mountains apart and make them as sharp as dragon's teeth. They will destroy everything you have built and reduce this country to ruins!"
The Dragon King Rudra roared, venting his anger wantonly.
As it absorbs the elemental power of the earth veins, its exhausted strength is gradually recovering, but the price is that its sanity is gradually being lost.
"..."
Zhongli turned around and met the hateful gaze of the Ruota Dragon King across the mountains. He gently waved his right hand at Liu Bai, temporarily creating a shield for him to prevent him from being buried by the collapsing mountains.
"You remember that we brought peace to this land. You should not forget our covenant, nor should you forget your contribution to the humans who gathered under your wings for shelter."
