MTLNOVEL Chapter 330: "Incinerate! Rua~"
These Hilichurls were different from the ordinary ones; they were surrounded by a dark, sinister aura, giving off an evil vibe.
Despite their sinister appearance, they did not harm their own kind.
In this regard, the Hilichurls showed remarkable restraint.
Hilichurls were humans who have been transformed, cursed beings.
Once, they were highly intelligent, using technology to rival and even slay gods.
After being cursed, they lost much of their intelligence, but over time, they gradually began to regain their wisdom.
They could craft bows, skillfully use elemental slimes, and prepare food.
"Roar..."
A Hilichurl Berserker, a shield-wielding Hilichurl, charged forward with unstoppable force, heading straight for Yue Guan.
At that moment, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, breaking out in cold sweat.
It was terrifying!
Was this a 100,000-year soul beast or something? What exactly was this thing?
"My life is over. Old Ghost, you'll have to walk the rest of the path alone."
"I can't accept this!"
Knowing he was about to die, Yue Guan gave up resisting, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
If he were to be killed by the most powerful beings of the era, he wouldn't feel such regret.
But to be killed by something that seemed so weak, he truly couldn't accept it!
"Who can save Yue Guan? Who can save him?"
Gui Mei possessed one of the fastest speeds in the world, being a Super Douluo and an agility-type soul master.
But at this moment, he couldn't save his sworn brother.
This feeling of helplessness was something he had never experienced before.
Too strong, they were just too powerful.
Facing the Martial Soul True Body and the ninth soul skill, this monster remained unscathed!
It nearly broke their spirits, no, it already had!
"Before the dawn arrives, someone must illuminate the darkness."
A fiery red figure suddenly appeared. His voice, his presence, just by showing up, brought warmth.
He held a greatsword in his hands, his figure tall and straight, his gaze sharp.
"I didn't expect these Hilichurls to have come to this world as well."
He thought to himself, but saving people was the priority.
These old men all had nine rings hanging from them, which seemed impressive, but their strength was still somewhat lacking.
Protecting the weak is the duty of the Darknight Hero!
"Incinerate! Rua~"
The newcomer gripped his greatsword with both hands, and flames erupted from the blade.
As the flames surged, the surrounding temperature skyrocketed, and the space around them seemed to distort slightly.
"!!!"
"So young!"
"Who is he?"
"This temperature?!"
The old men stared at the newcomer in shock, their eyes wide.
Such a powerful figure shouldn't be unknown.
In the blink of an eye, they pondered many possibilities but couldn't figure out who this person was.
A fire-wielding greatsword master, after eliminating the possibilities, they still had no answer.
This person, like that other figure, seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
A phoenix's cry echoed through the sky as flames shot from the greatsword, flying toward the Hilichurl Berserker.
The indestructible shield clashed with the flames for a few moments before finally shattering.
The flaming phoenix carried the Hilichurl Berserker's body, sending it flying into the distance.
"Gasp—"
Everyone inhaled sharply, their scalps tingling.
They never expected that Yue Guan's full-power strike couldn't break the shield, yet this young man shattered it with a single blow!
This young man's strength must far surpass theirs!
And that monster, after being hit by this attack, was sent flying and lay on the ground, lifeless.
"So strong!"
"Is this guy the God of Fire?"
"How can a human possess such power?"
"If not a god, he must be at least a Martial God Douluo-level existence!"
"Too terrifying, just too terrifying!"
As everyone marveled, the red-haired young man frowned, his expression changing.
"Let's go. These Hilichurls are acting strange. They're not something I can deal with right now."
The red-haired young man spoke with a grave expression.
The Hilichurl Berserker he had just knocked down had already gotten back up, picking up its axe. It was ready to fight again, seemingly unharmed.
These dark-aura Hilichurls were very different from the ones he had faced before.
Hearing this, Yue Guan and the others were stunned, their mouths agape, wanting to speak but holding back.
They had learned something: these monsters were called Hilichurls, and they were once human.
Moreover, these Hilichurls were acting strange!
"No time for chit-chat. Run!"
The red-haired young man grabbed the Demon Bear Douluo from the ground and fled at lightning speed.
Yue Guan and the others didn't dare delay, following the red-haired young man with all their might.
If even such a powerful figure had to run, who could possibly stand against these Hilichurls?
The Hilichurls chased for a while before giving up and returning to their territory.
After running for a bit longer, the group finally stopped.
"Sir, my name is Yue Guan. Thank you for saving me!"
Yue Guan clasped his hands in gratitude toward the red-haired young man.
If it weren't for this red-haired young man, Yue Guan would have been done for today!
The red-haired young man nodded but was lost in thought about other matters.
He wasn't much of a talker, unlike most who wielded a Pyro Vision.
Only he didn't smile, perhaps due to his experiences, which had made him reserved.
"May I ask for your name, sir? You're only the second person I've met who is as powerful as you."
Zhongli was the first, and this young man was the second.
In terms of combat power, a young man couldn't compare to Zhongli.
However, Zhongli was currently in human form, using only a slightly stronger version of his "Genshin" powers.
"No need for formalities. You can call me Diluc."
Diluc spoke without expression.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he glanced at Yue Guan and asked, "You said I was the second. May I know the name of the first?"
Hearing this, Yue Guan hesitated.
After all, he was very close with Zhongli and Paimon.
Having a powerful figure suddenly asking about Zhongli and Paimon made him uneasy.
But remembering that Diluc had saved his life and didn't seem like a bad person, he finally said, "The first is naturally Lord Zhongli!"
"What did you say?"
"Zhongli?!"
Diluc was stunned, finding it hard to believe.
In the three years since Zhongli and Paimon disappeared, their god, who never did anything serious, had been searching for them nonstop.
Even the apple cider and dandelion wine at his place had lost their appeal to this god.
Because of this, he had learned the true identity of that Wangsheng Funeral Parlor consultant.
So, this Consultant Zhongli was actually an ancient god older than Barbatos, the ruler of Liyue, the ancestor of all adepti, Morax!
Also known as the God of Contracts, the Geo Archon!
"Huh? You know the Martial God?"
Diluc: "..."
