Chapter 683
——Teyvat
Liyue, the Chasm of Rocks, underground mining area, deep battlefield.
Erosion of space.
Jun Moli, who had recovered his memory, let go of Li Xiao and stepped back.
He looked at the dark purple eye shadow at the corners of Li Xiao's eyes and said, "You look really ugly now..."
"Your taste has deteriorated a bit since we last met!"
Li Xiao turned a deaf ear to Jun Moli's words and continued to carry out the orders given to him by Gustott and attacked Jun Moli.
Jun Moli swung his sword to fight back, mainly focusing on blocking.
But Jun Moli's swordsmanship has always been mainly offensive, and now it has suddenly changed to a defensive posture, which is bound to have flaws.
For most people, even if there are flaws, they don’t know where to start.
After all, Jun Moli's swordsmanship combines both strength and speed, and it is impossible to achieve a breakthrough with just a momentary flaw.
However, the other party was Li Xiao.
Currently, there are only two people who have killed gods with mortal bodies.
Therefore, when Jun Moli's defense was broken, Li Xiao's fist fell without any hesitation.
Jun Moli rushed back to defend, but was still knocked down.
He stood up with a shaky body, a little blood flowing from the corner of his mouth: "You actually did this to me for real..."
"This is not fun at all."
"You are pretending, right? I can wake up, so there is no reason why you can't do it..."
"In my impression, you are not a man who can be controlled so easily! You are more unwilling to admit defeat than anyone else..."
The controlled Li Xiao pounced on him like a wild beast.
Jun Moli continued to focus on defense and parry Li Xiao's attacks.
Then the next moment, Jun Moli was hit again and bent over with an expression of extreme pain.
Looking at Li Xiao who was so close, Jun Moli reached out and held Li Xiao's shoulders, breathing disorderly, and said: "...I believe you will never lose to Gustott."
"So wake up quickly, Xiao!"
The controlled Li Xiao turned a deaf ear to him, with his fist burning with flames, and punched Jun Moli again.
"Still no effect..."
Jun Moli raised his hand and took the punch.
Ignoring the flames burning on his fist, Jun Moli said with a look of nostalgia: "This fist... is really nostalgic."
“It’s exactly the same as before.”
Li Xiao shook his fist, and his hidden energy burst out, knocking Jun Moli back.
Jun Moli's breathing gradually became steady. He looked at Li Xiao who was gradually walking towards him and said, "Do you still remember?"
“We used to be like this.”
“Learn from each other and test each other’s growth.”
"This kind of drama happened every day before!"
Li Xiao attacked again with his fist.
Jun Moli raised his hand and caught the punch with his arm, then continued to recount what happened in the past: "Back then, every sparring match ended with your defeat."
"You think that my talent is better than yours, so I'm improving faster than you... but that's not the case!"
Li Xiao ignored him and threw a flaming uppercut to knock Jun Moli back again.
Jun Moli stood up again, shaking his body and spitting out blood:
"Your starting point was different from mine from the beginning."
"I have my father's teachings, but you can only live in the mountains with wild beasts and figure out your own way."
"That's why you were easily defeated by me at the beginning."
"Then you came to spar with me every day, calling it a duel. You lost to me every day... that sounds very weak."
"But it's not like that..."
Li Xiao waved out a flame.
Jun Moli dodged sideways, but Li Xiao immediately swung out another flame and approached Jun Moli at the same time.
After getting close, he immediately started punching continuously.
Jun Moli dodged left and right, and finally crossed his hands to block Li Xiao's punch. He looked at Li Xiao's face and said word by word:
"not like this……"
"From the second time you came to challenge me, I had a clear understanding: you have become stronger than last time."
"Every time I defeat you, I can clearly feel your improvement in the next duel with you."
"You are growing at a terrifying rate."
"But I'm not improving as fast as you are."
"I know very well that if I don't work harder, you will soon surpass me again..."
“So I always run forward as fast as I can, but when I look back I can still see you following my steps.”
"Then on that day, you caught up with me."
A picture suddenly flashed through Li Xiaokong's blank mind:
The young boy threw a punch with all his strength, while the other boy swung his sword and struck with all his strength, and the attacks of both sides intersected.
Finally, they fell on each other at the same time.
The boys fell to the ground at the same time, and a childish voice sounded from the side:
"So far, the result is a draw. Brother Tonghui's current record is 1999 losses and 1 draw."
(For details, please see Chapter 120)
A sudden flashback of memory caused Li Xiao to waver in his actions.
Jun Moli immediately pushed Li Xiao's arm away, then hugged him tightly, restraining his movements with his body, and said:
"You always think that my talent is better than yours, and it is my talent that keeps me moving forward... but that's not the case!"
"It's never talent that keeps me going, it's you!"
"Because I don't want to be surpassed by you, I can only keep moving forward, but even so, I was still caught up by you!"
"That's why I am willing to recognize you as my big brother!"
"You are stronger than anyone else, and you are more unwilling to admit defeat than anyone else!"
"Even if you fail, you will stand up again and become stronger than before. This is what I admire most about you!"
“It’s been like this since the beginning!”
"So you will be like before! Get rid of Gustott's control and become stronger! Am I right? Akatsuki!"
Jun Moli's voice echoed in Li Xiao's ears, like a heavy hammer hitting his blank consciousness again and again.
Li Xiao let out a roar, then punched Jun Moli in the abdomen again and again, with the flames on his fists burning fiercely.
There was a constant burning pain in his abdomen, but Jun Moli held Li Xiao tightly and continued to review the past:
"When the three of us became sworn brothers..."
"When we decided to use handicap to decide who would be the boss... I wanted to give in to you."
"Because I know you are stronger than me."
"Even if you are defeated, you will become stronger and come back again. I absolutely cannot do that! So I am willing to acknowledge you as my big brother..."
"But... you don't need me to give in."
"At that time, you... were already a true big brother."
Jun Moli hugged Li Xiao tightly and roared with all his might: "So you will never lose to Gustott, right?"
"Like you won't lose to me!"
"I believe you will not lose to Him!"
"Big brother!"
——Digression
I took a day off yesterday, actually I was looking for inspiration. I couldn’t write this scene well, so I thought of taking a day off and looking for inspiration.
It seems that I still have no inspiration...
I personally feel that this drama is unsatisfactory and lacks tension. But things have come to this point and there is no way to ask for leave.
So that's all.
