Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 328 Battle Against the New Demon, Huiyuan

Paimon was filled with doubt, but had no choice but to follow.

Running towards Lingju Pass, I saw a pile of footprints on the ground.

These footprints are of various sizes and all appear to be those of adult males.

After traveling for about 6 hours, it was 3 a.m. when we arrived at Nantianmen, near Fulong Tree.

Ying, Paimeng, Zhongli, and Kunjun rushed forward and discovered many victims.

Some were ordinary scholars, some were missing miners; they were all lying unconscious on the ground.

Zhongli stopped at the foot of the Fulong Tree.

"There are signs of a battle... and two familiar auras... Kunjun, your body seems to be glowing..."

"My body is glowing? Hmm...it seems it's active down there...what happened to make it break the seal ahead of schedule..."

"No, it didn't break the seal; it only broke the shackles underground. The second seal isn't completely lifted yet. Who could possibly ignore the second layer of restrictions and enter directly inside...?"

Paimon grew irritated listening to Zhongli and Kunjun's incomprehensible words.

"What are you guys talking about? Can you explain now?! I'm so tired from running..."

Seeing this, Zhongli pointed to the Fulong Tree.

"Look at that tree. It used to have blue, luminous marks on it, but now it's lifeless. Traveler, Paimon, have you heard the legend of the Dragon Tree?"

"The Dragon Tree? Oh, I seem to remember it. It's like it's suppressing something?"

Seeing that Paimon remembered him, Kunjun stepped forward and began to explain.

"Under the Dragon Tree, suppressing me... or rather, my other half of soul, the other half of the Dragon King Ruoduo."

"Huh? What? Little Kun, you mean...you're the Dragon King Ruotu?!"

"No, Kunjun is just a mortal. I am merely using his body."

After Kunjun revealed his identity, Zhongli was not surprised at all. After pondering for a moment, she changed the subject.

"Let's search the area first and see what's there. I can sense something fighting with Ruoda underground..."

Hearing this, Paimon nodded, though he didn't quite understand what was going on.

"Although I don't quite understand it, I'll just do it anyway."

The group approached the Fulong Tree, looked around, and discovered a pit with a radius of more than ten meters.

Zhongli touched the soil on the ground, his brows furrowed.

"This aura...it's hers."

At this moment, Ying stepped forward and also picked up a handful of soil.

"This is... Yuanbao's elemental power? I can feel that the power within me, the power that Huiyuan gave me, is resonating with something underground."

Paimon exclaimed in shock, "What? So, the one who fought the legendary Ruoda was Hunyuan?!"

Zhongli nodded, confirming, "That seems to be the case... But what exactly happened...?"

Just then, Kunjun, who was not far away, noticed something and shouted.

"Hey—there's a hole here, it looks like someone dug it!"

Upon hearing this, the group went over.

As soon as I reached the cave entrance, I felt a jolt throughout my body; the power emanating from it was truly terrifying.

Kunjun, his face serious, stated, "I can feel that my other half is inside..."

As they walked forward, Kunjun seemed to have discovered something again and shouted.

"The miners...the missing miners we were looking for, they're here! So that's how it is, it possessed the miners, wanting to use them to break the seal?"

At this moment, Zhongli stepped forward and said, "I suppose so... The aura of Huiyuan is emanating from here... It seems that if we want to find out more, we must take the initiative to break the seal. Everyone, come closer to me."

After saying that, Zhongli spread his hands and activated the shield.

The group entered the cave entrance, which was covered with various restrictive talismans, and found a group of unconscious miners.

As Zhongli slowly approached the entrance to the seal, he glanced at Kunjun beside him.

Seeing Kunjun nod at him, Zhongli cast a spell to break the seal.

The next second, a suction force pulled everyone inside.

I don't know how long I fell, but when I opened my eyes again, I was already deep underground.

Paimon was so frightened that his legs trembled and he screamed.

"That, that's... Hunyuan?! Why is he all black... and that... dragon next to him? Is that Ruotu?"

Just then, Huiyuan suddenly turned around and looked at everyone.

There was not a trace of reason in those red eyes.

"Dotore... Hahahaha, die!"

The next second, a powerful energy emanated from Huiyuan.

Zhongli dared not slacken his efforts. His whole body shone with golden light as he donned the divine armor from the Demon God War and engaged Huiyuan in battle.

Meanwhile, Kunjun, radiating white light, stared warily at his other self, the dragon-form Ruotu Dragon King.

"Hey—your other self, what happened?"

Upon hearing Kunjun's voice, Ruotu, in his dragon form, looked in Ying's direction.

The next second, a dignified and heavy voice rang out.

"You are... my yang side... Listen to me, I am not the enemy. That female immortal named Huiyuan used a power to purify me in order to help me. After the purification, my evil thoughts spread out of my body and invaded her mind. Then, she lost control..."

Just three hours ago, the aftershocks of the earthquake swept across the entire Liyue region, even affecting Sumeru Time...

With the help of Senzu Beans, Hunyuan, who was fighting against the Dragon King Ruoda, was able to hold his own against Ruoda.

With the help of Senzu Beans, Hunyuan has almost unlimited stamina. As long as he has enough Mora and can eat a Senzu Bean at the right time, he can fight for a whole year.

During the long battle, Ruo Tuo gradually showed signs of fatigue. Hun Yuan seized the opportunity and finally used the Negative Status Purifier on it.

The purifier hit Ruoduo's body directly, and Ruoduo's body began to change.

The evil energy of the bottomless pit slowly transformed into good intentions.

Just as the dark power was about to dissipate, a cloud of black mist emerged and entered Huiyuan's body.

Although Huiyuan possesses powerful spiritual strength, her soul is already injured, and even if she is not possessed, her mind will be disturbed.

And so, Huiyuan turned to the dark side.

As everyone knows, the evil side is ten times stronger.

Having acquired the memories of the evil Ruoda, Huiyuan suddenly learned various magical arts.

So strong that he could defeat the fully recovered Ruoda without any skill involved.

After learning the reason for the incident, Ying looked at the corrupted Huiyuan with concern.

"Yuanbao...it's only been a few days, how come you..."

Watching Huiyuan fight Zhongli to a standstill, Paimon was filled with emotion.

At this moment, King Rota looked at Zhongli and shouted, "Morax, she became like this because of me, please don't use excessive force."

“I know... right now we’re just trying to figure out how to help her recover.”
