Genshin Impact: I am the Great General of Liyue

Chapter 327 Battle against the Ancient Dragon, Ruoduo

Just as the purifying power of the negative status purifier was applied to the little girl avatar of the Dragon King Ruoduo, the ground suddenly trembled.

The ancient dragon's roar shook heaven and earth.

"Uhhhhhhhh-!"

The next second, Ruo Tuo's illusory body suddenly dissipated into a cloud of black mist, breaking free from Hui Yuan's control and flying around wildly.

It seemed to be struggling against this purifying power, and it looked to be in great pain.

Huiyuan frowned, his face full of disbelief.

"Something's not right. Normally, a status purifier should take effect immediately, so why is it struggling like this?"

"Sage... Sage? Sage! Sage, sage, hahaha... And, Morax—!"

Suddenly, the black mist that was swirling around rushed towards Huiyuan.

The suddenness of the change startled Huiyuan; it was much faster than the speed of a bullet.

Unable to dodge in time, one can only parry.

However, this physical blocking was completely ineffective.

The black mist passed straight through his arm and entered his body, causing Huiyuan to kneel on one knee.

At that moment, an alarm sounded from the system.

"Warning, warning! An invading spirit is attempting to possess your body! Activate...activate...activate...activate...attack...attack...fail...fail...try again...try..."

The next second, the system's voice in my mind suddenly disappeared, and then Ruo Tuo's deep voice appeared.

"A force from outside the world... Hahahaha, interesting!"

Seeing the system suddenly shut down, Huiyuan gritted her teeth and struggled to control her arm, using the negative status purifier on herself.

Instantly, a sharp pain shot through me.

"My body...it hurts so much...but as long as Ruoduo doesn't take over my body...why did the system suddenly shut down?...Could something have gone wrong with her? Or is it some kind of plan that she can't tell me...like the one she did with the Doctor's dissection last time?"

Feeling the tearing sensation in his heart, Huiyuan looked up and roared.

The wind element tore everything apart, and a terrifying whale roar echoed through the valley.

A surge of inexplicable anger welled up inside him, and his body gradually became out of control, causing him to destroy everything around him.

"Even if... I become possessed by a demon... I cannot allow Ruoduo to control my body..."

Perhaps it was the Dragon King Ruotu's act of possessing her body that caused the memories between the souls to intertwine. Huiyuan made a hand gesture with one hand that she had never used before, and transformed into a ball of energy that rushed into the ground.

At this moment, King Ruoduo became anxious.

"No! You can't go in! That's..."

Ignoring its voice, Huiyuan endured the burning sensation from breaking the seal and flew straight towards the true form of the Ruotu Dragon King.

"System, you're always so unreliable... Hmph... The purifier didn't work on Ruoduo's soul, so let's try his physical form..."

With great difficulty controlling his body, Huiyuan unleashed his spiritual power, gradually showing a tendency to suppress Ruoduo's soul.

"My body...I'm in control!"

Wind elements surrounded her, and Huiyuan transformed into Lingling's skin appearance.

Ruo Tuo was extremely anxious at this point. Seeing that the possession was not being completed, he directly separated from Hun Yuan's body and returned to his original body.

In the deep, dark cave, a pair of enormous red eyes scanned the surroundings; they were the eyes of the Naga King, Ratna.

"Ruo Tuo... since you can't control my body, are you just giving up and planning to fight me directly?"

An emotion never before seen appeared in Huiyuan's eyes, an emotion called "evil".

The next second, red light instantly filled the entire cave, and Rota's majestic yet heavy body appeared.

Huiyuan pulled out his golden cudgel, radiating an aura of power.

"System, system... Damn it, why are you still powered off?"

At that moment, Ruoduo moved his body and shattered the shackles binding him.

Its roar caused an earthquake throughout Liyue.

"Outsiders, do not overstep your bounds!"

Looking at the enormous Ruotu, Hunyuan muttered a complaint.

"Hey, hey, hey, why did they just start fighting without any plot buildup?! At least let me meet Zhongli before we start fighting!"

"Enough with the nonsense! Prepare to die!"

The next second, Ruoduo charged towards Hunyuan.

The tracks it left while running were a full meter deep.

Huiyuan was about to dodge when her body suddenly stiffened.

(What's going on... Didn't I eat a Senzu Bean? Why is my body... Could it be that my soul was injured when Rinpoche entered my body? Are you kidding me...)

Unable to dodge, Huiyuan had no choice but to attack as a form of defense, thrusting out his golden cudgel to block Ruotu's head.

Ruo Tuo's charge showed no sign of stopping; he pushed the golden cudgel and sent Hun Yuan flying.

Upon seeing this, Huiyuan hurriedly uttered two words.

"The Dharma Image!"

The next second, a golden giant covered in cracks appeared.

Seeing the cracks on the giant summoned by the Dharma Image skill, Huiyuan knew that her soul had indeed been severely damaged.

Without hesitation, Huiyuan controlled the giant and began to fight against the Dragon King Ruoduo.

Meanwhile, on the other side, at Qingxupu.

Ying, Paimeng, and Zhongli were talking to a man named Kunjun.

Kunjun suddenly shuddered and struggled, saying, "Hiss... my head..."

Seeing Kunjun suddenly kneel down, Paimon hurriedly floated up to him with concern and helped him up.

"Xiao Kun, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just a little sore. Wait... something terrible has happened..."

"Hmm? What's the big deal? Have you found the missing miners?"

Upon hearing Paimon's question, Zhongli, seemingly sensing something, shook his head and denied it.

"No... what Kunjun is talking about is probably not the same thing we're doing..."

"Hey, what is it? Why are you all suddenly acting like riddle solvers..."

Seeing Paimon's puzzled expression, Ying said calmly, "It's an earthquake."

"Earthquake? I didn't feel it."

Ying was speechless when Paimon asked such a basic question.

"Paimon, you're floating in the sky, of course you can't feel it."

Just as Ying was pondering the cause of the earthquake, Zhongli's expression suddenly turned serious.

Seeing Zhongli's expression, Kunjun hurriedly said, "There's no time to explain, let's go to the South Heavenly Gate!"

Having said that, Kunjun strode away with incredible speed.

Paimon, looking bewildered, exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Kunjun, aren't you a frail scholar? How come you can run faster than me? Also, what happened? Aren't we going to look for the miners anymore?"

Zhongli frowned and explained, "Don't rush, we'll explain when we get there. Besides, the miners' disappearance... is definitely related to this. Hurry up and catch up with Kunjun."
