Chapter 865 The Helpers Invited by Both Sides
As soon as Xu Ning stopped retreating, he turned around and rushed towards the empty space.
After all, he wasn't so arrogant as to think that he and Gusteau could kill the Vulcan at full power in no time.
The most realistic goal now should be to work together to clear the six tribal totems around the purification platform.
Anyway, this kid now has an ancient name and is protected by the resurrection poem. As long as Gustott takes a punch from the God of Fire head-on, joins forces with him to make a mistake, and then uses the power of the abyss to corrupt these totems, he can break the Night God's blockade of space and escape to the planet!
Aside from the possibility that Vulcan might lose his life, everything is fine today.
But you should know that the reason why "pig teammates" exist in this world is so that they can make you feel... what a pig they are!
When Xu Ning rushed over to join forces with Gust to attack Kong, Gust suddenly abandoned Kong, who was being suppressed by him, and turned to attack Mavica.
The two figures crossed paths in an instant, both shouting with contempt, "You pig!"
As soon as Kong got a chance to purify the totem poles around him that had been contaminated by the abyss aura, he used one hand to control the wind and the other to control the water.
How could Xu Ning allow him to do as he pleased?
"Brother Kong, take this sword!"
Upon hearing this reminder, Kong looked at the longsword Xu Ning handed him, which was covered in murky, earthy water. With a complicated expression, he held the longsword horizontally, and a line of fire had already spread along the blade.
He had never dared to underestimate this cheap older brother, and immediately put on his best to deal with him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly heard that deliberately suppressed thunder... It was a burst of lightning that erupted from the mouth of the Dust Concealment Gourd in Xu Ning's left hand.
The knife marks were like a full moon! His speed was like lightning!
Kong almost instinctively parried with his longsword.
A thunderbolt and a fireball ignited, and a huge explosion rang out in front of the two of them. A purple figure was blasted away and crashed into Xu Ning.
However, this figure did not hinder Xu Ning's actions at all. It "merged" into Xu Ning's body without any hindrance, turning into a lightning ring behind him, which made him even faster.
Kong, who was also thrown back, heard a sharp whistling sound behind him as a figure in blue stood guard in the direction he was flying backward, thrusting his spear in a flurry of attacks.
It turned out to be a wind element clone that Xu Ning had released at some unknown time.
Kong didn't dare to turn around at all; the oppressive aura emanating from Xu Ning's main body was far stronger than that from the clone behind him.
Kong could only flick his left hand backward, using his extraordinary perception of the wind element to block the vortex of wind he condensed in his left hand against the tip of the spear. His right hand longsword had already transformed into the earth element, ready to meet Xu Ning's attack.
This hasty response was certainly not enough to deal with Xu Ning, but Xu Ning quickly withdrew and dodged to the side.
He had no choice but to stop! If he slowed down even a fraction of an inch, Vulcan's long, straight leg would have kicked him right in the waist.
In a two-on-two match, neither side made any mistakes that could have drastically altered the course of the battle, and their teamwork was passable, but they were able to hold their own for the time being.
However, this would mean the war had reached a stalemate.
In an instant, all four of them understood that they needed a force from outside the four directions to intervene and change the current situation.
"Lord Yagami, please summon him to help us!" Mavica spoke first.
Kong's eyes lit up as he dodged the giant sword swept by the black dragon, a sense of joy already welling up inside him.
He knew who the God of Fire had instructed the God of Night to invite, and he had great confidence in that person's strength, since that person's power was already close to that of a god.
Xu Ning frowned slightly, wondering what kind of help Vulcan would bring in. But once the scales of war tipped, it would be very difficult to right them again.
Taking advantage of Mavica's momentary distraction, Xu Ning casually flicked his gourd, and a small figure flew out from inside.
"Go and fetch that drunkard."
Kong naturally knew that Xu Ning had released Qingyi, doing the same thing as the God of Fire, and he also knew who the drunkard Xu Ning mentioned was.
If the foreign aid they are about to hire is comparable to a god.
The foreign aid over there is truly a genuine god, well, although he's not always very reliable.
"Paimon, find a way to stop Qingyi!"
Upon hearing Kong's request, the little white-haired creature's head suddenly peeked out from behind a giant rock in the distance.
At this critical moment, Paimon naturally wouldn't let anyone down. He looked around, picked up a fist-sized rock from beside him, held it in both hands, and put on an extremely "fierce" expression. "I'm going to knock her out right now!"
Kong discovered that this guy had indeed become much braver after putting on the "resurrection armor." Not only did he become more daring to provoke Xu Ning, but he even dared to knock on the "benefactor" who had once given her food.
But by "obstruction," I mean the best-case scenario is that you can hold onto Qingyi's leg and make her call for help later... With your fighting ability, you think you can just go up and attack her? You'd definitely get killed instead!
The thought crossed Kong's mind, but fearing it would damage Paimon's morale, he didn't dare to voice it.
Whether it was because Qingyi was really distracted by Paimon, or because the drunkard's location was hard to find, after the battle had been deadlocked for a short while, a reinforcement suddenly appeared at the edge of the platform.
Although the newcomer was wearing a mask and a cloak, Xu Ning recognized him at a glance based on his standing posture.
"Ha, Celestial Pillar Knight Serene! So many years have passed, yet your posture standing there hasn't slackened in the slightest. I have to admit I admire you!"
The person Yagami invited was naturally the captain and governor of the Fatui!
The captain, who had already resolved the misunderstanding with the God of Fire and helped the Yanmi tribe resist the abyss monsters, suddenly felt a sense of fear for no reason when Xu Ning called out his name.
The outside help we painstakingly recruited—this man turns out to be an old acquaintance of Brother Xu.
Moreover, his elder brother called him "Knight of the Heavenly Pillar," a title remarkably similar to the titles of the knights he had encountered in the Abyss of Layered Rocks.
Could it be that we've brought in a helper for Brother Xu?
As expected, Xu Ning said, "Let's make our move. The conditions are almost ripe. After this battle, I can give them a place to belong."
The captain nodded slightly, a gesture that sent Kong's heart plummeting to the bottom.
The captain casually removed his cloak, turned to face Vulcan Mavica, and made an inviting gesture.
"The battle where we couldn't give it our all in the Olympic Arena can finally continue."
Mavica, however, showed no unexpected dejection or fear. She smiled calmly and raised her fist.
"Feel free to come over here!"
Just as the captain was about to make a move, a long, cyan arrow, without making a sound, struck him at his feet with incredible speed.
