Chapter 422 Sand Spinner Bakai of the Ascended Team
“The power of the stars!”
Hyena Bakai’s hands tightly grasped the purple-gold spear, his eyes as sharp as a cheetah’s. Staring closely at Huo Jixing in front of him.
He stretched out his barbed tongue and licked the corners of his mouth, as if savoring the upcoming extraordinary battle.
When his eyes fell on Nanli Suzaku reflected behind Huo Jixing, a hint of greed and hunger appeared in his deep purple eyes.
The red-golden glow shines on the world like the eternal sun, driving away all decay and darkness.
The hyena Bakai had been secretly observing the fierce battle between Huo Jixing and Malzahar, and his eyes were always fixed on Huo Jixing.
The power he possesses is the power of the stars given by the giant gods in his memory.
It is also the source of the power of ascension!
Now observing Huo Jixing at a close distance, Hyena Bakai can clearly feel the familiar aura of the power of the star spirit, which faintly stirs the immortal heart in his body.
He missed the power of ascension so much.
It is the desire that stays in memory and is engraved in the depths of the soul.
At that time, he was like a god descended from the world, able to control his own destiny, instead of living in shame as he is now.
Hyena Bakai’s eyes flashed lightly, and memories came flooding back.
He couldn't help but think that some time ago, he sensed that the once-destroyed sun disk had resurrected in Shurima.
The immortal heart that stored the power of the void in his body was also throbbing a bit, as if it was telling him something.
At that time, an astonishing idea emerged in his mind -
Can he use the solar disk to dispel the influence of the power of the void and regain his former identity as an ascended person?
Then they got new news.
The last emperor of the Shurima Empire, Azir, was resurrected and the Sun Disk was rebuilt by him.
Hyena Bakai had to give up the idea in his heart that they were the lost Ascended Ones who made the wrong choice and allowed the Shurima Empire to be destroyed in the internal strife.
How dare you face Azir, the successor of the Sun’s bloodline?
As fate would have it, the hyena Bakai participated in this void attack.
They had just awakened from the dark graveyard, and with the idea of having some fun, they responded to Malzahar's call from the void. (See notes for details)
As a prophet of the void, Malzahar's soul has already been washed by the void and completed its transformation.
Before the void clone arrived, he used the power of the eroding void to summon all the forces belonging to the void in the nearby area.
As for who will respond to the arrival, Malzahar is not sure, otherwise the Bakai will not silently watch the defeat of his clone.
“Star Spirit!”
Hyena Bakai’s eyes were restless, unable to restrain his inner desires, and knew that he could not miss the opportunity in front of him.
Compared to the ascension power of the sun disk, the power of the stars was an extravagant hope they had never dared to imagine.
Because it is difficult to find stars in the world.
They are high in the heavens, like supreme beings, overlooking all living beings.
Even if the continent of Valoran encounters a crisis of overturning and destruction, they will only choose a suitable bearer and lower their consciousness and the power of the stars instead of personally intervening.
The hyena Bakai knew that Mount Targon, the far western land of Shurima, had a passage to the heavens, but the Rakkor tribe living in Mount Targon daunted him.
You must know that the once extremely powerful dark sword demon Aatrox suffered a dark loss on Mount Targon and left with serious injuries.
And they are just ordinary ascendants.
Huo Jixing noticed the greedy gaze of the hyena Bakai, and thought about the identity of the other person who had ascended.
When he was in Vicoula, he had seen the suspended sun disk and the base of the stone platform with the starry sky carved on it.
Later, after experiencing the Tomb of the Emperor incident with Nasus and the others, Huojixing already understood the connection between the Shurima Empire and the protoss.
The protoss of the Titans guided mortals to build the Sun Disk in Shurima, creating a glorious legion of Ascended Ones and Celestial Warriors.
The kingdom of Shurima Empire has therefore lasted for thousands of years.
“You also want the power of my star spirit?”
Huo Jixing spoke softly, pointed at the hyena Bakai, and then looked at the other two walking Come on Bakkai.
"You too?"
Seeing Huo Jixing's figure, the other two Bakai who were massacring tribal hunters and caravan guards quickly stopped what they were doing and surrounded them. .
Bakai, who walked over first, was tall and strong, like an ancient giant bear, with purple hair rising up.
Wearing golden armor, with blood-colored ribbons wrapped around his neck and limbs, it brings a sense of wild and violent aura and oppression.
He looked at Huo Jixing with hatred and covetous eyes, and the black scepter in his hand had a cold luster.
The other Bakai at the back was slender, wearing a black spinning cloak to cover his twisted body, and looked at Huo Jixing with his hidden golden eyes.
A little bit of yellow sand appeared beside him, dancing like a magic elf.
"Mortal, remember your humility!"
The sand spinner Bakai came slowly and stood behind the hyena Bakai, his tone full of arrogance.
“Even if you are the bearer of the power of the Star Spirit, you should not talk to us like this.”
He thinks that Huo Jixing is just an ordinary bearer of the Star Spirit. Even if you have the power of a star, you will lose your sense of self sooner or later.
"Mortal? Humble?"
Huo Jixing looked around and noticed Bakai wearing a black spinning cloak.
Through the position confirmation, the three Bakai maintained standard military positions. It seems that they belong to the same Ascended Legion team and fell into the embrace of the void.
The sand spinner Bakai who is speaking now is the leader of this team.
"If I remember correctly, the rock village is still within the scope of Shurima."
Huo Jixing pointed at the corpses of the tribal hunters who were massacred by Bakai, covering the ruins, and said sarcastically .
"If you admit your identity as ascendants, what will be the punishment for killing Shuriman people at will?"
"Hmph!"
The giant bear Bakai roared, holding black in his hand The scepter smashed into the ground, and the wild momentum hit Huo Jixing like a hurricane.
“Only the gods can judge us!” “And you, a mortal, have no right to judge!”
The breathing of the giant bear Bakai gradually became heavier, like the whisper of an ancient giant beast in its sleep.
He was holding the black scepter tightly in his arms, his muscles were taut, and he was ready to launch a fierce attack on Huo Jixing at any time.
Their purpose of massacring the rocky villages was very simple, to eliminate the weeds and eliminate future troubles.
As Bakai, he covets and steals the power of the stars.
Afterwards, neither the strange power behind the void nor the guardians of Mount Targon will let go of their crimes.
As for Rek'Sai, this void escaping beast cannot speak. She can only act through her own hunting instinct.
Hearing this, Huo Jixing shook his head slightly. The minds of the Bakai in front of him were affected by the void, and only they themselves were not aware of it.
And the immortal hearts in their bodies are also affected by the power of the void.
The ascended body that once belonged to the warriors of the gods has now become distorted and deformed, becoming a slave to the void.
“Pray to me, mortal!”
The sand spinner Bakai waved his hand to guide, as if he was conducting a symphony, and the yellow sand beside him rose quietly.
They intersect and rotate in the air, weaving a gorgeous golden rain curtain, covering the ruins of the city wall.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, everything became extremely slow.
Huo Jixing was aware of the changes on his side. He could see the traces of wind in the air and the speed of blood flow not far away.
Ezreal behind him opened his mouth subconsciously, wanting to remind him of something.
However, before his voice could reach legend, changes had already occurred.
Bang!
The hyena Bakai shut his mouth tightly and ran wildly through the ruins of the city wall with his eyes violently. The ground shattered with every step he took, sand and stones splashed everywhere, piercing the air and leaving ripples.
The purple-gold sharp spear danced in his hand, spanning the distance of space, and appeared on Huo Jixing's lower jaw, intending to pierce his head from bottom to top.
At the same time, the giant bear Bakai also launched a fatal offensive against Huojixing.
I saw his knees bent, and his strong and burly body leaning forward, like a heavily armored tank, smashing into the air, and the bloody ribbon danced.
He strode to Huo Jixing, roared angrily, and hit Huo Jixing's head with the black scepter in his hand with great force.
Looking from a distance, the giant bear Bakai looks like a mountain that is about to collapse. Its black body oppresses the ruins, and its momentum is so strong that it frightens the world.
"The power of time?"
Huo Jixing looked at the sand spinner Bakai not far away with an expression of surprise. He was facing the offensive of the hyena Bakai and the giant bear Bakai in front of him. Don't care at all.
Sonorous!
The red bird crows and the spiritual wind comes out of its sheath.
Huo Jixing's consciousness pulled Nanli Suzaku to break the influence of the power of time.
Then, he grasped the hilt of the sword tightly and waved the spiritual wind downwards, turning it into a red-gold lightning, easily knocking away the purple-gold spear of the hyena Bakai.
With the help of his strength, he slashed the spiritual wind upwards and easily caught the black scepter falling from the sky.
boom!
The moment the two collided, the terrifying energy aftermath centered on Huo Jixing and spread wildly to the surroundings.
The turbulent air waves were like a violent storm, making everyone stagger and almost unable to stand firm.
After a momentary stalemate.
The giant bear Bakai's arms trembled, and his tall and strong body could no longer hold on, and was forcibly thrown away by the dexterous long sword.
"I forgot to tell you that I have seen the power of Nasus and Renekton."
Huo Jixing raised his eyes to look at the Bakai who were waiting for him, and said softly, his tone full of undeniable uneasiness. majesty.
“They were once the commanders of the Ascended Legion, and their strength is indeed outstanding and unparalleled.”
“And you are just ordinary Ascended, how dare you covet my Star Spirits? "The power?"
Huo Jixing pointed out the identity of Bakai in an understatement, with a trace of contempt flashing in his red-gold eyes.
Originally, the hyena Bakai and the giant bear Bakai were a little surprised by the power displayed by Huo Jixing.
In their previous observations, Huo Jixing was somewhat uncomfortable facing the power of the void, and got entangled with Malzahar's void clone.
But now after hearing Huo Jixing's words, the hyena Bakai and the giant bear Bakai looked horrified, their eyes full of disbelief.
Before they ascended, they had heard of the reputations of Nasus and Renekton, who were representatives of the Ascended Legion.
Their names are sung in the Ascended army formations, their strength is demonstrated in battles, and they are the targets pursued by all Ascended ones.
Although they successfully completed the ascension ceremony, the Bakai's status was very different from Nasus and Rek'Sai.
They are the newly promoted Ascendants, while Nasus and Renekton are senior legion commanders, far exceeding them in terms of strength and experience.
“I don’t believe it!”
The giant bear Bakai looked furious, his eyes filled with a crazy purple light, and the black scepter in his hand glowed with a scarlet brilliance.
【Rage】!
In an instant, a rich scarlet brilliance burned, extending along the thick arms, and gradually covering the body of the giant bear Bakai, as if it was wrapped in a layer of flowing lava.
His originally burly body swelled up again, supporting the golden armor of the Ascendant Legion.
Then violent breath erupted from the body of the giant bear Bakai, rolling up a bloody storm and dyeing the surrounding air red.
In the bloody storm, countless sand, dust and debris danced, turning into sharp blades, cutting the air and making a sharp whistling sound.
The giant bear Bakai carried the storm, like an unstoppable giant, and pounced on Huo Jixing again.
The black scepter in his hand drew a heavy arc in the air, and with the sound of breaking wind, it hit Huo Jixing.
On the other side, the hyena Bakai was cruising nearby and observing, continuing to look for the best moment to take action. The purple-gold spear flashed dangerously in the darkness.
"What a pity, your identities!"
Huo Jixing stared at the weaver Bakai in the distance, the scattered yellow sand affecting his perception with the power of time.
If the Bakai before them had not fallen into the void, they might be able to ascend again when the sun disk rises again in Shurima.
However, things have happened, and there are no what-ifs. They made a decision that changed their destiny.
(Note: The Ascended Ones of the Shurima Empire pride themselves on being noble gods and have a very bad attitude towards mortals. It is common to slaughter cities and annihilate people at will.)
