Chapter 397 A Fateful Reunion
As Dain's cloak fluttered, she entered the passage.
Xu Ning lagged behind, glanced at the Seven Gods statue hanging upside down, gently tossed the Thousand Rocks Greatsword in his hand upwards, and then kicked the hilt of the sword with all his might.
The giant sword, reeking of alcohol, pierced straight into the center of the purple light, cleaving the entire statue in two.
"You will all pay an equal price!"
Xu Ning's act of shattering the statue seemed to have instantly enraged the Abyss Torrent Apostle.
"—The punishment will be brought down by the apostles."
Before the words were even finished, Kong and Paimon, who had just entered the passage, both cried out in surprise almost simultaneously.
When Xu Ning rushed to the entrance of the passage, he saw that the stone slabs under the feet of the three people in front of him collapsed almost simultaneously. The passage below was bottomless, and if they fell in, it would be difficult to even determine whether they were alive or dead.
Of the three, Dain and Shen He reacted almost simultaneously.
With a flick of his left hand, a portal shrouded in purple mist appeared beneath his feet. When Dain's figure vanished and reappeared, he was already in a small compartment in the left wall.
Shen He, on the other hand, appeared relatively more violent. The moment the ground beneath her feet crumbled, she drew out the spear called "Disaster Relief," slammed it into the wall beside her, and then, with one hand gripping the spear, flipped over and used the spear shaft as a stepping stone to squat steadily on it.
Only Kong happened to be standing right in the middle and was extremely far ahead, so he only had time to open his Wind Wings when the passage collapsed.
Despite Paimon tilting his head back and pulling hard on his cloak, Kong still slowly plummeted downwards.
"Brother Xu!"
Xu Ning didn't need to call for help. He immediately summoned a gust of wind, which carried him on the wings of wind and gently transported him to the cubicle where Dain was.
"It's so dangerous."
Paimon wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said angrily, "I'm going to teach those guys inside a lesson later."
However, the one controlling the mechanism inside clearly intended to eliminate everyone who broke in right there in this passage.
Countless bubbles reappeared from the end of the passage, surging towards this side.
"I'll clear the way, Shen He, you help me block those bubbles."
Xu Ning appeared at the entrance of the passage, and with a flick of his finger to his brow, summoned his rock elemental body.
The Thousand Rock Greatsword of the Rock Elemental Body had already been used by Xu Ning to kick the Seven Gods statue, so now it only carries four Thousand Rock Spears on its back.
He casually picked one up and threw it directly at the rock elemental, where it landed diagonally against the wall of the passage with a thud.
Like Shen He, Xu Ning leaped out and landed on the Thousand Rock Spear. Then, the Heart of the Rock God activated, and countless rock elements poured into the spear beneath his feet.
A thick rock slowly "grew" up from under Xu Ning's feet, spreading forward along the wall, just like a stone walkway extending from a steep cliff.
Xu Ning needed to concentrate on generating the path, so he couldn't pay attention to the bubbles floating in front of him. However, as Xu Ning made his move, Shen He reached out and grabbed the "Disaster Relief" under his feet, kicked off the wall, and bounced onto the stone slab that Xu Ning had constructed. He then stood in front of him with one hand and condensed an ice talisman.
"Goddess, send forth your spirit!"
A divine, icy blue body flew lightly out of the talisman and headed straight for the end of the passage.
Wherever the spirit passed, frost spread, and all the bubbles froze into thin ice balls, which then shattered and fell to the ground.
Kong watched enviously as Xu Ning seemingly walked out of thin air and created a stone path. "When will I be able to be like Brother Xu?"
Dain glanced at Kong and said, "If you had used Desolate Star to create a foothold on the wall the instant the road beneath your feet collapsed, and then used Rock Barrier to form a thrust forward, you could have made it through."
Kong looked at Dain in surprise, "How did you know I could use Desolate Star and Rock Barrier? But I usually use these skills to detonate rock elements to damage enemies, and I can't control them as quickly and precisely as you say."
Din shook her head slightly, not answering the blank question, but simply saying, "That means you need to practice more."
Then he jumped onto the path that Xu Ning had created.
Xu Ning and Shen He had reached the end of the passage, and after turning the corner, they entered another large hall.
A tall, blue figure stood silently in the center of the hall.
"I thought it was that annoying rat, but I didn't expect it to be you. Xu Ning, Her Highness the Princess has instructed us that we have no intention of being your enemy."
When Shen He brought Xi Zai in, he was already prepared to take action.
However, he did not expect that the monsters here seemed to know Xu Ning, so he could only put his spear behind his back and listen quietly to what the other party was saying.
Xu Ning took a sip of wine and stepped forward. "As long as you don't touch a single tree or blade of grass in my Liyue, I won't cause you any trouble."
"However, although we came to you today, it's not because we want to turn against you. We just haven't seen her in a long time and would like to meet with your princess. Please help us inform her that she will definitely come."
The Abyss Apostle's expression was hidden behind his mask, but he seemed quite resistant to Xu Ning's overly familiar tone.
"Regardless of the reason for your visit, from the moment you arrive, a new thread of destiny has begun to be woven, and the abyss is destined to be unstoppable."
The Abyss Apostle flicked out a water blade with his right hand, slashing behind him to reveal a pitch-black portal.
The Abyss Apostle took a step back, about to slip into the portal in the void.
"You're talking nonsense. Have you informed them yet? Dain, he's trying to escape!"
"He can't run away."
As Dain's indifferent voice rang out, a blue light suddenly wrapped around the neck of the Abyss Apostle, pulling it out of the void portal in an instant.
"Cough, it really is you! Daines Reeb, you filthy and corrupt traitor, you should always be locked in a cage!"
The Abyss Apostle gripped the light rope around his neck with both hands and roared angrily.
Dain's grip tightened, and the Abyss Apostle was immediately rendered speechless.
Xu Ning waved his hand, "Relax, relax, don't strangle it, we still need it to relay messages..."
Before the words were finished, a dark crack suddenly opened above, and a white figure wielding a sword slashed at Dain's right hand, which was pulling the light rope.
Dain was suddenly attacked. He snorted and was about to jump back when a purple-black light wave suddenly shot out from the opponent's sword, blasting the ground in front of Dain apart.
Dain was quite flustered by the sudden movement, but Xu Ning, because he was standing closer to the Abyss Apostle, was not affected.
The Abyss Apostle also broke free from Dain's control, angrily revealing water blades in both hands.
"Calm down, everyone. This isn't your turn. Move to the side."
Xu Ning teased the Abyss Apostle, then looked at the white figure with its back to him and greeted it softly.
"It's been a long time, Ying!"
