Chapter 268: Admit defeat?
"Then... fight!" Mo Ran activated the element of fire, condensing hundreds of flames, and bombarded the white figure from all directions.
Tianli, who was equally powerful, also used elemental power to raise four water walls to block all the fireballs. Then he waved his hand and the water walls turned into a torrent that rushed in all directions.
This made Mo Ran, who had transformed into a breeze and wanted to get close, lose the opportunity. At the same time, the ground beneath his feet quickly cracked, and several rock spikes rose up, mixed with thunder, pointing directly at the black-robed figure in the air.
This almost instantaneous and flawless move was enough to kill most beings. Tenri's combat experience and use of elements far exceeded that of humans on Teyvat.
However, Mo Ran did not grow up in Teyvat, and he had witnessed the true power of elemental force, so he naturally would not die just like that.
With a natural rock shield protecting his body, Mo Ran flapped his wings of wind element on his back and flew high. But then his body was frozen by ice and water elements. Tianli condensed the power of rock element, transformed it into a big sword, and slashed at the man in black.
Caught off guard, Mo Ran exploded with all the elemental power in his body, and a hell of fire ignited around him. After melting the restraints on his body, he stretched out his palm in the air and condensed a greatsword of rock element, and fought with the opponent.
There were raging flames under his feet, and when they were competing with each other on swords, he took the opportunity to attack the white figure, forming a three-meter-long fire dragon, which opened its mouth behind Tianli, and the red light covered the white light.
At the same time, Mo Ran kicked at the sword that Tianli was using to block, and then kicked back violently, leaving a few grass elemental creatures on the spot, blocking Tianli's retreat and increasing the burning effect.
At the spot, Tianli raised her jade hand, and a rock wall rose behind her. Even though the temperature was burning like the sun, she never looked back. She swung the sword and cut off the grass elemental creation with one sword.
Immediately afterwards, several wind arrows appeared beside her and shot towards the man in black. The whistling wind collided with the thunder blasted by Mo Ran, creating a small atmospheric thunderstorm hurricane.
The ground was covered with elemental wounds, one side was shining brightly with white light and flames shooting up into the sky behind it, and the other side was dressed in black as night with wings covering the sky behind it.
Their eyes fell on the storm that separated them from each other. In less than a moment, the storm was about to stop. Mo Ran tightly grasped the sword in his hand, slightly bent his body, and was ready to attack.
Tianli inserted the big sword into the ground, grabbed it with both hands, and mobilized all the elemental power in his body to prepare for the strongest attack.
The moment the storm stopped, both sides moved together. The wind wings behind the man in black clothes flapped angrily, and his figure quickly shuttled around Tianli, so fast that only his afterimage could be seen.
But Tianli did not move. He would not move unless the enemy moved. If the enemy moved, he would move first. This trick of relying on speed to confuse vision was useless to him, even though he did not have as strong power as before.
Seeing that the figure did not move, Mo Ran's eyes became stern. He blasted out a mixture of the three elemental forces: fireball, ice sword and thunder, while he himself was looking for possible flaws like the law of nature.
Faced with the dazzling and overwhelming elemental forces, Tianli remained motionless, holding up one rock shield after another and holding on.
This was a battle that had entered a white-hot stage. Both sides were testing each other, trying to see who would lose patience first. If one attacked rashly, there was a high probability that they would be killed by the opponent's trump card that had been prepared for a long time.
The sound of wind whistled past his ears, but Mo Ran continued to throw out elemental power. As a result, the elemental power reserves in his body naturally decreased rapidly, and he didn't have many chances left.
Mo Ran's eyes narrowed, and he waved out a few of his few spiritual energies, setting up a small killing formation. While throwing out the elemental force again, his body also rushed out.
The rock elemental sword chopped down from top to bottom, with a few wisps of wind lingering on the sword, trying its best to increase the speed of this attack, hoping to hurt Tianli.
boom!
A sword hit the sword that Tianli used to block. Mo Ran's face changed. He flapped his wings behind him, wanting to escape, but he failed.
Tianli's rock sword became huge, a hundred feet long. He changed the strength in his hand, swung out the sword fiercely, and then slashed twice in a row.
With one sword, he turned defense into offense. With one sword, he cut Mo Ran into a position where he could only defend tightly, with blood gushing from both of his palms. With one sword, he overturned a hillside, tearing apart the plants and creatures on the mountain.
After three sword strikes, the situation changed again. Under Tianli's feet, a blood-red magic circle rose up and turned into several attacks, falling on the white figure.
The old strength had just gone, and the new strength had not yet been generated. His own rock shield had just been shattered for the most part, and Tianli finally had the experience of being injured. Those wounds became very hollow after being torn apart by the white light, and one could see through them at a glance and see the scenery behind him.
Mo Ran crawled out from under the overturned hillside, his body was torn in many places, his luxurious black clothes were torn and tattered, his long hair was scattered, and he looked extremely disheveled.
"Son of the human spirit, are you going to admit defeat when you are at such a disadvantage?" Tianli stroked the wound with his hands. He, who had never been hurt in the continent of Teyvat, paid more attention to this existence in his eyes.
Mo Ran opened his mouth to speak, but vomited a few mouthfuls of blood on the mud. Along with violent coughing, the finer blood directly froze into scarlet ice flowers and scattered on the ground.
"What are the consequences of admitting defeat?" Mo Ran gasped and spat out another mouthful of blood. This time the blood was black.
Tianli walked slowly, her slender figure charming, and said slowly: "Become another acting ruler of Sky Island and be under my control, but you can save your life."
"Hehe!" Mo Ran sneered, supporting himself on the ground with his hands and trying to stand up again. His trembling figure was like an old man in his twilight years.
puff!
Tianli was already approaching a man in black. He raised his knee and pushed it forward, hitting his lower abdomen, and then slapped his head with his right hand.
In an instant, Mo Ran felt dizzy and his back was being stepped on by Tianli's foot. The force of the kick was still increasing. If he had not agreed to admit defeat, this kick would probably have broken his spine.
"It's time to tell your answer, son of the human spirit. I'm looking forward to your answer." Tianli opened her jade hand, and the elemental power of water surged out and turned into sharp spikes, pointing at the head of a man in black.
"I, I..." The elemental power accumulated in Mo Ran's body surged quietly, and at the moment of exploding, he shouted: "I don't agree!"
In an instant, the ice elemental power that had been gathering when he vomited blood just now all poured out of his body. The hard, infusible ice covered the feet of the white figure and was still rising.
Mo Ran flipped over and stood up, holding a sharp blade made of ice elemental force in his right hand, and stabbed it towards Tianli's heart. The ice appeared even colder under the shining white light.
The sharp blade pierced into Tianli's heart, but then stopped and could not move forward any further. Seeing that the strike failed, Mo Ran clenched his left fist and smashed towards His head. Success or failure depended on this one move.
Amidst the whistling wind from the fist, Tianli stretched out his hand to receive the punch, and after grasping it firmly, flames burst out from the palm of his hand, and the high temperature scorched his arm in black clothes quickly, turning it black.
Accompanied by crackling sounds, the high temperature burned Mo Ran's arm. In an instant, he lost his arm. The left side of his body was empty, with nothing. It felt very strange.
Mo Ran took a deep breath, but before he could think too much, he squeezed out the only remaining ice element in his body, causing a series of strange phenomena. Ice flowers fell to the ground, and white snow covered the earth again.
The sharp blade that pierced Tianli's heart advanced another inch with difficulty. Mo Ran held the blade tightly, his whole body was crackling, and flames covered his whole body, causing unbearable burning pain.
"Ahhh!" Mo Ran roared. The blood at the corner of his mouth was evaporated by the flames. Not a trace of his clothes or hair was left. At the last moment, he finally stabbed the blade all the way in.
In an instant, the Crown of Reason trembled and began to shrink. The white light on Tianli's body dimmed a little, and then swayed like a candle in the wind. Once this flow began, it was unstoppable.
Without the restraint of the Crown of Reason, Mo Ran's strength returned, his aura rose to its peak, and his originally dying charred body was now full of vitality.
However, it was still too difficult for his broken body to carry all his strength in battle. Mo Ran was now like an old dam that was blocking a flood. If he wasn't careful, the dam would burst in an instant and he would faint.
Dragging his heavy body, Mo Ran had no time to move before he was blown away by the consciousness of heaven that had not yet completely dissipated.
Most of the white light had faded away, and at this moment, Tianli could no longer see his original human form. From afar, he looked like a ball of light that was about to go out, very faint.
Bang bang bang!
Tianli followed Mo Ran who was flying backwards and launched three attacks in succession. After each attack, a lot of white light would pour out. That was why He had to race against time and make good use of this last breath of time.
When the last punch was thrown, the principle of heaven once again became the invisible and intangible consciousness entity, and dissipated forever in the sky.
Mo Ran was about to fall into a deep sleep, with only half of his body no longer under his control. Before his eyes completely closed, he saw a vast expanse of blue, and finally, he closed his eyes.
…………
On Ba Niang Island, Lei Dianying suddenly woke up, opened his eyes and looked at the rock walls around him, he picked up his knife and chopped hard, but before he touched them, the rock walls dissipated on their own, and several magic arrays became ineffective.
Lei Dianying was delighted and looked around with a big laugh, but there was nothing there.
Without leaving any trace or warning, it just disappeared as if it had never existed, without anyone noticing or feeling it, making it difficult to find.
Lei Dianying took a few steps and did not find the black clothes she wanted. The smile on her pretty face became dull and stiff, and finally slowly retracted. She tried her best to feel the origin in her body, but there was only a subtle feeling of connection.
From Narukami Island...
But Lei Dianying also rose into the air at high speed, flying eastward, muttering to himself in a dreamy voice: "Brother... he will be fine. He must have gone back to find sister just to piss me off!"
"It must be like this, it must be like this... Humph, I won't cry, don't try to lie to me..."
On Mingjin Island, Lei Diandian landed in the castle tower, ran to the door with the speed of the wind, pressed it with both hands, and pushed it with all his strength.
Nothing inside had changed. My sister was still tied up by me. Her face was still full of sadness, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were red.
Hope was dashed, the last hope, shattered the moment the door was opened. Lei Dianying felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.
Two clear tears rolled down his face, and Lei Dianying lay on the ground crying. Dark clouds rolled across the sky, and countless thunders roared, as if the end of the world had come and was about to destroy everything.
After a long time, Lei Dianying untied his sister, handed Dream to her, and said softly: "I want to go find my brother. He must be there, waiting for us to find him..."
"Ying, don't take risks..." Lei Dianzhen warned weakly.
"Yeah." Lei Dianying turned and walked out of the castle tower. The heavy rain wet her purple clothes and hair, but it couldn't wipe away the determination in her eyes.
"I promised you that I would come back. If you don't come back... I will look for you! I will search the whole world to find you and give you a good scolding!"
The rain was mixed with tears, and after they were mixed together, it was hard to tell which was rain or tears. The sister, with misty eyes, embarked on a journey to find her brother...
