Chapter 668: Final Battle, Li Xiao vs. Gustott (Part )
——Teyvat
500 years ago, the battlefield of the Layered Rock Chasm.
Morax, dressed in divine attire, arrived at the scene.
He did not announce the news of His arrival to the entire army, but came quietly to a person.
"You... are Li Tonghui? Jun Bai's sworn brother?"
"It is such an honor to hear this name from the Emperor's mouth."
Li Xiao smiled at Morax who suddenly came and said, "But my name now is Li Xiao."
"The surname my parents gave me and the name my adoptive parents gave me, this is my current name, Li Tonghui..."
"This name has been a thing of the past since the day my parents passed away. Please don't mention it again, Emperor."
Morax heard this and nodded slightly, "Is that so?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know these things."
Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Emperor, don't take these little things to heart. Compared to these little problems..."
Li Xiao suddenly stood up, bowed slightly to Morax and said, "Thank you very much for taking care of Xiaobai during my absence from Liyue. Thank you very much."
[The Emperor in divine attire is so handsome! 】
【miHoYo please release skins quickly! 】
[The two parents of Brother Bai, this scene is a direct reminiscence of the first meeting between Emperor Jun and the second brother. ]
Morax dodged in advance, then shook his head and said:
"I feel unworthy of this thank you. After all... during the time you were away, Jun Bai had a Nirvana."
"I failed to protect Him before His first Nirvana."
"In the final battle of the Demon God War, I also failed to protect Him and let Him die in front of me."
"But you are different."
"You and the Qingce Sword Immortal protected Jun Bai very well. Even when he was attacked by the Demon God, you didn't let him achieve Nirvana."
"Rather than saying that I take care of Jun Bai..."
"It's better to say that I have been relying on Jun Bai's strength."
"If it weren't for Jun Bai, Guiliji wouldn't be what it is today, and Liyue wouldn't be what it is today."
Morax looked at Li Xiao and said, "You have a very good brother, so I want to thank you."
"Now that Liyue is under attack from the Abyss, you have come back from afar to help Liyue. I owe you a big favor."
Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty's words are too serious."
"Besides, I came back to help Liyue, but I didn't want to bring back a powerful enemy and make the situation in Liyue even more serious."
"Rather than saying I'm helping, I'm just making up for the mistakes I made."
Morax shook his head and said:
"No, even without you, as long as the Abyss cannot be conquered, it is only a matter of time before Gustout invades Liyue."
Li Xiao sighed and said:
"That being said..."
"Well, let's get this topic over with. The Emperor has come here to fight against Gustout."
【Big Brother: Stop pushing it around here, business is more important. 】
[Anyway, no matter how many mistakes you make, they are all the fault of the abyss. 】
[What the Emperor said makes sense. If we continue to attack without success, it is possible that those in the abyss will attack directly.]
[Speaking of which, the plot of Brother Bai's two nirvanas is indeed quite interesting. The person that the Rock King failed to protect was protected by his two brothers and did not achieve nirvana.]
There was a gleam of sharpness in Morax's eyes. The war god who dominated the war between demons showed his dominance at this moment: "Of course it is so."
"That Gustout has plundered a large number of the Thousand Rocks' memories. If Thunder Sword and Storm hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."
"I will not give Him the opportunity to continue growing."
Li Xiao bowed to Morax and said, "Then I wish the Emperor a great victory in advance."
But things don’t always go as planned.
Gustot always hides in the abyss to accumulate strength, and even Morax cannot find his trace.
If you can't find any trace, you naturally can't take action.
Although it is not impossible to directly destroy a Guyun Pavilion, there are still the rest of the Qianyan Army on the battlefield.
It is not appropriate to evacuate directly.
It would take a long time to evacuate such a large number of Thousand Rocks Army, and the monsters would inevitably escape from the Layered Rock Abyss during the evacuation. Therefore, it would not be appropriate to evacuate directly to make room for Morax.
The situation came to a stalemate.
So in this situation, Li Xiao proposed a risky plan, which was strongly opposed by Morax.
"You want to be the bait? No way!"
Morax firmly denied this plan: "If something happens to you, how can I explain it to Jun Bai!"
Li Xiao looked Morax in the eye and said, "Xiaobai won't blame you, because this is my choice."
"Gustot's target is me, so I can lure him out of the abyss. Then... I will ask the Emperor to give him the final blow."
"No means no!"
Morax still denies the plan.
In the past, He made Phemix burn his life in front of Him and fight a desperate battle with the demon of death.
Now he had to watch Jun Bai's sworn brother take risks.
Even though he is just a mortal stone, Morax has feelings, and he will never allow such a thing to happen again.
Li Xiao completely ignored the fact that Morax was a Liyue god and shouted, "Excuse me, even if you are the Emperor..."
"You can't change my decision!"
Although he was a Liyue native, Li Xiao lived in the era of the Demon War, when Morax had not yet unified Liyue.
Therefore, Li Xiao respects Morax, but will never obey his every order. This is a matter of principle.
Li Xiao's plan is the most feasible.
It is also the fastest way to end the war.
Both Li Xiao and Morax were fully aware of this, they just needed to use Li Xiao's life as a bargaining chip.
Li Xiao volunteered to risk his life.
But Morax refused.
Unfortunately, from the moment Li Xiao proposed this plan, he never gave Morax the option to refuse.
[Morax, this is not a request, but a notice! ]
[There are actually people from Liyue who dare to disobey the Emperor's will. 】
[It makes sense if you think about it. In the era when Big Brother lived, the Emperor had not yet unified Liyue, so it makes sense that Big Brother is not a fan of the Emperor. 】
"I won't allow it!"
As Morax spoke, he directly generated a layer of jade shield and put it on Li Xiao's body.
Unlike normal shields, this is both a shield and a restraint, and will not move with the movement of the protected person.
"I will defeat Gustott, there is no need for you to take risks..."
Morax intends to persuade Li Xiao.
However, at this moment, Li Xiao, who was in the Jade Shield, raised his hand...
