"Stop talking, let's leave."
Hearing this, a trace of sadness flashed across Nasus' eyes. He was afraid that he would harm the kind girl in front of him.
"Don't worry about me, just leave and take the princess away!" Nasus whispered.
"Oh?"
At this moment, Zeratul, whose energy pulse was blocked, could not help but sense his surroundings in confusion, and looked over here quickly.
The building where Taliyah was hiding was directly shattered, and she was completely exposed to Xerath.
When he saw this girl who could control rocks, a strange thought emerged in Zeratul's mind.
There is no doubt that in the Shurima Desert, Taliyah's abilities are too abnormal. With just a few changes, she will undoubtedly become a weapon of war.
Xerath waved his hand towards Taliyah. He planned to capture Taliyah alive and bring her back to train her in order to increase his bargaining chips.
Taliyah once again erected several stone walls, and raised her right arm suddenly, summoning many hideous rock spikes to attack Zerath's body.
However, Nasus was unable to compete with Xerath, so with Taliyah’s current strength, how could she possibly cause any harm to Xerath?
The rock spikes were instantly wiped out, the stone wall was shattered, and Xerath's attack sent Taliyah flying backwards, hitting the house behind her heavily.
"Taliyah, leave now!"
Nasus’ arms kept hitting the rubble of the building that was pressing on him. At the same time, he kept shouting to Taliyah: “Don’t worry about me, take the princess away!”
Taliyah pushed away the rocks that were pressing on her body and stood up unsteadily.
"Grand Scholar"
"Leave quickly!"
Looking at everything in front of her with complicated eyes, Taliyah finally bit her lower lip and rushed towards the direction where Sivir was.
And as she rushed over there, as if to intimidate Xerath, Taliyah shouted:
"His Majesty and the army are heading this way. I believe he will come to rescue you soon!"
After hearing Taliyah's words, although Xerath did not show any special reaction, his heart was inevitably stirred.
In his opinion, no matter whether Taliyah's words were true or false, now was not the time for him to have a decisive battle with Azir.
However, Zerath was very confident that he could control the two women in front of him before anything happened.
With a wave of his hand, crackling blue lightning shot out again, heading straight for Taliyah and Sivir.
Taliyah stood in front of Sivir. She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to cast rock magic. Stone walls appeared in front of her and rock spikes rushed towards Xerath again.
Taliyah knew very well that she was no match for Xerath, but she had to try her best to fulfill Nasus' expectations.
"Weak mortal!"
As Xerath watched Taliyah's stone wall shattered under his attack, he no longer even bothered to resist Taliyah's rock spikes.
Taliyah stood in front of Sivir, her body was also trembling slightly, and beads of sweat were oozing from the palms of her hands.
At this moment, she was very worried whether she and Shiver could leave here alive.
Under Xerath's body, Taliyah's rock spikes had already pierced his body, but he did not block them at all and let them come in front of him.
However, in the next second, Zerath's body suddenly shook violently, and even the mathematical energy that made up his body showed a little disorder.
Just when those rock spikes with a diameter of less than one meter were about to reach him, he was horrified to find that a stream of energy from an unknown source had merged into these rock spikes, and these spikes turned from spikes into giant stone pillars almost in an instant!
More than a dozen huge rock pillars with a diameter of several meters rushed towards Zerath from all directions, and Zerath was located in the center of these rock pillars.
"Boom! Kakaka!"
Amidst the violent roar, the enormous force even caused the rock pillar to turn into powder from the beginning to the end.
In the dust and smoke, there was no trace of Xerath anymore.
"???"
This sudden scene made Taliyah confused. She couldn't figure out when she would be able to use this level of rock magic! ?
But in the next second, a voice that was extremely familiar to Talia sounded in her ears.
"What are you still standing there for? Run!"
Hearing the voice, Taliyah and Sivir turned around at the same time and looked behind them, and then completely different expressions appeared on their faces.
Taliyah: "Zuo Chi? It's you!"
Sivir took a half step back. She suddenly felt that she was surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind. Before she could deal with Xerath, another one came in the same team as the Darkin.
Opposite Taliyah, Zuo Chi held three weapons on his shoulders and squinted at the smoke in front of him.
The next moment, Zuo Chi unsheathed his long sword and slashed forward.
The violent Olympiad energy broke through the khaki dust and slammed into Zuo Chi's long sword.
"boom!"
In the dust, Zeratul's figure flew out and collided directly with Zuo Chi.
"Ascendant!" roared Xerath.
Zuo Chi was suspended in the air, looking up and down at Zerath at this moment. After a moment, Zuo Chi said lightly:
"Xerath, I'm here. I won't let you hurt them. Azir and his army will be here soon. You can only wait for death!"
After hearing Zuo Chi's words, Zeratul fell into silence.
From the collision just now, he was able to sense Zuo Chi's strength. He knew very well that Zuo Chi was no weaker than Nasus.
Maybe if given time, he could defeat Zuo Chi, but what after that?
Azir and his army are coming soon!
Thinking of this, Xerath's gaze fell on Sivir and Taliyah again.
At this point, the best option is to stop loss in time and leave as soon as possible.
"We'll see you soon!"
After he finished speaking, Xerath quickly fled into the distance. Zuo Chi did not stop him. After all, only Azir knew whether he had brought an army with him.
Just as Xerath was about to disappear in the portal, he suddenly turned around and looked at Nasus in the ruins.
"Nasus, I believe that you will receive the gift I give you soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of Xerath and his followers completely disappeared in front of everyone.
At this point, the dust has finally settled.
Zuo Chi fell from the sky. He first came in front of Nasus. The khaki light in his hand lit up, and the building pressing on Nasus was lifted up and slammed to one side.
Zuo Chi smiled helplessly and said, "Grand Scholar, please stand up."
Nasus looked at the ochre light in Zuo Chi's hand with a scrutinizing gaze. He was a little confused as to why Zuo Chi could also use rock magic.
Could it be that he and Taliyah are of the same race?
And isn’t Zuo Chi on the same team as Varus? Why is he here?
Could it be that he suddenly came to his senses and was ready to defect to the Shurima Empire?
Nasus stood up slowly and bowed slightly to Zuo Chi: "Thank you, Your Excellency."
Zuo Chi shook his head, then looked at Talia beside him.
Taliyah came to Zuo Chi's side in a bounding manner. She looked at him like a curious baby:
"Zuo Chi, long time no see, you seem to be stronger. Why did you come here?"
Obviously, Taliyah's question is also what Nasus and Sivir want to know.
Zuo Chi spread his hands and said, "I was originally going to look for someone, but when I passed by here, I sensed some movement here, so I came over to take a look."
Facing his good friend, Zuo Chi couldn't help but raise his hand and knock on her head: "How dare you attack Zeratul so rashly?"
Taliyah covered her forehead with her hands and said in frustration, "I can't just watch the Grand Secretary and the Princess being killed by that man. They are both my friends."
Zuo Chi was very aware of Taliyah's enthusiastic nature, so he didn't ask too many questions on this issue.
Beside them, Nasus and Sivir were very curious as they saw how familiar Zuo Chi and the other man were getting along.
Finally, just to be on the safe side, Nasus asked: "If I remember correctly, you should be Varus's companion. Why are you here?"
As the guardian of Charikar, Nasus must ask these questions.
Zuo Chi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here for Charikar, and Varus and I have parted ways. I'm not going to find anyone else this time."
After hearing Zuo Chi's words and looking at his natural expression, Nasus' heart finally calmed down a little.
Has he really turned from darkness to light?
After all, the other person had just saved him, so Nasus naturally had to show his kindness.
"Who are you looking for, Excellency? Perhaps I can show you the way."
"Oh?"
Zuo Chi's eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly, "I'm looking for Aatrox, do you know where he is?"
Nasus: “.”
-
This is the heart of the Great Sai Desert with the worst environment. Strong winds sweep yellow sand into every corner, madly plundering all the moisture and temperature of the land.
This is an absolute forbidden area for the living. Even explorers and mercenaries with the most extensive exploration experience will not risk setting foot here.
But at this moment, the sound of footsteps was heard in this forbidden area.
A figure came closer and closer, walking out of the sandstorm. The knife-like sand could not leave any mark on his body.
The figure's eyes were blood red, but his expression was extremely empty. Saliva kept dripping into the sand from his crocodile-like mouth, and the crescent-shaped sword and axe in his hand was flashing a soul-stirring cold light under the sunlight.
The Desert Butcher - Renekton!
After escaping from the Tombs of the Kings, Renekton roamed the corners of Shurima.
He desperately searched for the figure that had engraved his memory for thousands of years - his brother!
"Nasus, you coward, I will tear you into pieces!"
