Chapter 684 2 vs. 1

"...Ouch, what are you doing?"
Originally, Zhongli and Zuo Xi had agreed to go to Yunlai Sea to have a "shocking battle", but they were stopped by Ruota before they could even get up.
After stopping the two people, Ruotu didn't even look at Zhongli, but focused on touching Zuo Xi.
Although Zuo Xi probably knew that she wanted to personally confirm whether she was a human or a ghost, whether she was really still alive, and whether she was still the same Zuo Xi.
But you're going too far by touching me!
It’s enough to just take a look at it. If you want to take action, there will be a different price...you have to pay extra!
"It's really you... Your mechanical heart actually contains a divine heart... Have you really become a god? Can you defeat him?
If you can't beat me, I can help you... To be honest, I have disliked this old stone for a long time. Whether it was when I sealed it or when you saved me, this old guy really wanted to kill me.
I'll take this opportunity to avenge the beating I received that year."
Even after confirming that Zuo Xi did not have any problems and was in better condition than before, King Ruotu was still a little worried.
Although he did not object to his idea of fighting Zhongli, he also asked to go with the two of them.
Like Zhongli, she was also worried that Zuo Xi would not die in Xumi, but would end up killing herself again in Liyue. So this time she had to watch from the side no matter what, in order to avoid being too late to stop something like last time.
As for things like "I can't stand this Lao Deng", "I want to get revenge", "I've disliked him for a long time", etc., they were just excuses she made up.
"Ruota... I'm sorry that you have criticized me, but I still have to trouble you to guard the seashore. Although I don't mean to brag, I may not be able to control myself... If I can't control myself, moving mountains and seas is not just an adjective."
On the one hand, Zhongli's statement was to persuade Ruota not to intervene. Originally, Zhongli certainly hoped that there would be another person nearby who could stop Zuo Xi from doing something impulsive in time before he was too late.
But logically speaking, Zuo Xi wanted to compete with him alone to determine his own strength. He probably saw his own strength as being barely enough to be of use.
If Ruo Tuo intervened and joined forces with Zuo Xi, it would be putting the cart before the horse for Zuo Xi. After all, the other party probably just wanted to test the waters, not really want to do anything to him.
What's more, Zuo Xi was determined and insisted on doing so. If Ruo Tuo wanted to interfere, he would not agree.
The other aspect is what he meant literally. Apart from him and Zuo Xi, the two parties involved in the competition, among all the immortals under him, Ruo Tuo was the most powerful.
If we talk about who can effectively limit the aftermath of their battle, it can be Ruota... The other immortals can assist, and Ruota’s main force can defend, this is the safest way.
Otherwise, given his current uncertain condition, it is possible that he would really lose his mind and go crazy during the fight.
There will definitely be quite a commotion by then, not to mention whether Zuo Xi has the ability to stop him. Even if he can really subdue him, the process will surely not be too smooth... He is not bragging, but thousands of years of experience have enabled him to face his own strength objectively.
Although the location has been chosen on the outside of Yunlaihai, far away from the port, as he said, overcoming mountains and seas is not just an adjective.
And it is said that when facing the Thunder General, although the situation was completely crushed, it still caused considerable damage.
If this is used as a benchmark, the damage that would be caused in trying to subdue him would not be small.
If the situation really comes to that, the immortals may not be able to eliminate the aftermath of the battle that stops them. Only Ruota may have this ability.
"Moracus, that's wrong. If you want to avoid battle fluctuations, the best way is to not generate battle fluctuations.
As long as the actual gap is big enough and the battle can be over quickly, the things you worry about will not happen at all.
Even if we take a step back and say that there is a huge aftermath of the battle, close range control is better, so that there is enough buffer distance for the other immortals to block.
Otherwise, if we only set up defenses on the coast with no way out, and fail to stop one, the losses caused will be unacceptable."
Ruo Tuo understood what Zhongli meant, but she had no intention of doing what he said. She could fight, but she had to be close enough to prevent any accidents from happening to either of them.
"Well... that's fine, if you really want to come, just come along. Morax, although she was quibbling, what she said did make some sense.
If you are really worried about the impact on Liyue, it would be more effective to set up defenses in layers... It would be more effective than just setting up a last line of defense on the coastline."
Zuo Xi also understood what Zhongli and Ruotu meant. If Ruotu wanted to watch, he could watch; if he wanted to get involved, he could get involved... For him, it didn't matter what happened.
As long as Ruota and Zhongli don't fight, just throw him aside... This possibility cannot be said to be completely non-existent, so it's better to avoid it.
"...Well, let's do as you two say."
Even though it was already on the edge of wear and tear, Zhongli still spoke in a literary manner. As expected, cultivation is something that is engraved in one's bones, and it is not so easy to change after years of cultivation.
"That's great, Morax, let's continue the previous battle!"
With the idea of putting on a complete show, Ruo Tuo arrived at the battlefield, which is above the Yunlai Sea, and was still ready to fight and making promises.
To be honest, she had no interest in beating Zhongli, at least not as much as Zuo Xi was interested in it now. But in order to watch from the sidelines, nothing was more convenient than joining in.
"This is what it feels like to fly... Ruotu, I think you misunderstood."
Flying all the way to Yunlai Sea, Zuo Xi found that not only was he no longer afraid of heights, but his fear of the deep sea had also dissipated.
The reason is very simple - his perception can already cover the entire sea area and extend to the area below the sea surface to the seabed.
Fear comes from location. When the location of the ocean becomes known, the fear naturally disappears.
Fear of heights is even easier to solve. When you know that you will be fine even if you fall from a height of 10,000 meters without any protection, heights are no longer something to be feared.
This feeling was quite new to Zuo Xi. Although he had no practice, the skill and naturalness of flying was no different from walking.
He didn't even need to pay special attention to a certain part of his body. When the idea of where to fly appeared in his mind, he naturally knew how to use this body.
After suppressing his curiosity and excitement, Zuo Xi corrected Ruo Tuo's misunderstanding.
He agreed to let Rudra come along and help, not so that she could join him in dealing with Morax.
"Hmm? Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"
Ruo Tuo was stunned for a moment. What misunderstanding? What did she misunderstand? Is there any connection between whether he can fly and whether she misunderstood something?
Because although Zuo Xi was talking to herself in the first half of her words, Ruo Tuo could still hear them, so she naturally understood the two together.
"Well, you did misunderstand... You didn't come here to fight Morax. I want you to join forces with Morax... You two should come together."
Zuo Xi smiled calmly, and there was no arrogance in his eyes. But the content of his words was simply arrogant to the extreme.
He planned to challenge the Rock King, who had lived for thousands of years and was recognized as the God of War in Teyvat, and the Dragon King, the top creature in the elemental evolution chain.
The only person who had such courage before was the Demon God Helu who was fighting for supremacy among the heroes of Liyue during the Demon God War thousands of years ago.
Nowadays, most of these people have become some historical attractions or landmarks in the vast land of Liyue.
As a friend of the two, Zuo Xi naturally didn't have to worry about the grass on his grave being two meters high next year. But no matter how you look at it, his plan to challenge both of them at the same time was too crazy.
Even if this kind of story was included in a storyteller's book review, I'm afraid it would be criticized by the audience as a illogical and "degrading" plot.
However, reality is always more exciting than book reviews. There are always people in reality who dare to do things that storytellers dare not tell and stories that they dare not write.
Zuo Xi did just this one thing, and now there are only two words to describe him - arrogance.
After becoming a god, he really felt that he was omnipotent. He also knew that this might not be a good thing, so if Ruota and Zhongli really had a way to dampen his enthusiasm, it would not necessarily be a bad thing.
Of course, he didn't come to challenge them with the intention of being defeated by them... He really intended to beat both Zhongli and Ruota.
Come on, Dragon King of Elements and former ruler. Show me how strong you two, the best pair, can be when you work together.
Ruo Tuo and Zhong Li looked at each other, and then disappeared without any warning. In just a moment, the two appeared beside Zuo Xi one after the other.
Zhongli held the Piercing Rainbow Spear and aimed straight at the throat, while the rock crystal condensed by Ruo Tuo behind him blocked Zuo Xi's retreat... The two of them communicated with just a glance, and completed a closely coordinated attack without any verbal communication.
"This is right..."
After pinching the tip of the gun with two fingers and shattering the approaching rock crystal from behind with an invisible impact, Zuo Xi revealed a slightly excited smile.
That's right... Since I want to give it my all to make him give up, then he can finally have fun.
