Chapter 479

The Lord of the Abyss spoke with a raspy voice.

"Looking down from on high?"

Jiang Yan chuckled lightly and shook his head.

"I never think of myself as looking down from on high."

"As for you, it's been five hundred years, and you've given me such a big surprise."

"Hehe, how is it? Do you like it?"

The Lord of the Abyss said with a strange laugh.

"I absolutely love it!"

Saying this, the Lord of the Abyss soared into the air, arrived beside Heulia behind him, and gently stroked her cheek.

"The taste of a Demon God is truly excellent..."

"Though it's a bit weak, it's enough to restore my full strength."

"Jiang Yan, I truly must thank..."

Before the Lord of the Abyss could finish speaking, Jiang Yan in the distance had already vanished.

"Could you please..."

"Stay away from my subordinate?"

A faint voice sounded by the Lord of the Abyss's ear.

Immediately, seven-colored light flared up abruptly before it.

Boom!!!

Accompanied by a violent explosion, the Lord of the Abyss was blown apart on the spot by Jiang Yan.

"I've beaten you so many times, yet you still don't learn."

"Wouldn't it be better to hide underground like a rat and not show your face?"

Jiang Yan wiped his hands, as if disgusted by having touched something dirty.

"Now you dare come to Liyue to cause trouble? Do you really think I'm blind?"

Afterwards, Jiang Yan reached out and pressed his hand onto the stones wrapping Heulia.

The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit activated, instantly shattering the black-purple rocks covering Heulia's body.

And Heulia, losing her support, fell from the sky into Jiang Yan's arms.

Jiang Yan held Heulia's body with both hands; at the same time, the Ma Fu in his mind lit up. A faint fluorescent glow appeared on his hands.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it really does hurt."

Black qi surged, and the Lord of the Abyss suddenly coalesced from the sky above, looking down at Jiang Yan.

Here it comes again.

It really can't be killed...

Jiang Yan sighed lightly and looked at the Lord of the Abyss.

"This time, was it you who took those ores?"

"Hmm... seems to have some imprint."

The Lord of the Abyss pretended to think, then said to Jiang Yan with a strange laugh.

"Really, five hundred years, and you're still as beatable as ever!"

Jiang Yan embraced Heulia and vanished instantly.

This time, the Lord of the Abyss was on guard, spreading a viscous liquid around itself like black glue.

But this shield, which looked quite strange, was like paper before Jiang Yan.

Incapable of withstanding a single blow.

With just one punch, the Lord of the Abyss's body was shattered again by Jiang Yan.

"I'll give you one last chance."

Jiang Yan said faintly.

"My patience is limited."

"Gag gag gag, Immortal Lord Mu Ling cannot do anything to me!"

The Lord of the Abyss laughed strangely, his tone carrying the arrogance of "what can you do to me?"

"Oh? Is that so?"

A strange smile appeared on Jiang Yan's lips.

"Indeed, I cannot completely kill you."

"Then guess, can I erase all the foundation you've accumulated now, just as I did thousands of years ago?"

Hearing Jiang Yan's words, the Lord of the Abyss finally could not sit still.

"You dare!"

The Lord of the Abyss's tone carried rare anger.

Thousands of years ago, Jiang Yan destroyed nearly ten thousand years of its foundation; this time, he actually still had such thoughts!

"Whether I dare or not, don't you know?"

0 · Begging for flowers · ······

Jiang Yan smiled, gazing at the Lord of the Abyss just like that.

"Your accumulation over these few hundred years, I don't believe it can be more than what you had thousands of years ago?"

Jiang Yan's words successfully silenced the Lord of the Abyss.

Jiang Yan could indeed do it.

Moreover, the most crucial thing was that he simply couldn't stop him.

Although he couldn't do anything to him, he couldn't do anything to the other party either.

At this moment, Jiang Yan's smile was so blindingly conspicuous before the Lord of the Abyss.

"You... you......"

The Lord of the Abyss's chest heaved continuously, clearly angered by Jiang Yan.

"Now, state your purpose!"

Jiang Yan understood it perfectly well in his heart.

The Lord of the Abyss had not dared to use the Abyss to invade Liyue for five hundred years.

This sudden invasion — its purpose was absolutely not as simple as just collecting those ores.

Either these people were going to use those ores for something.

Or, among the pair of ores being collected, there was something that could make the Lord of the Abyss risk being discovered by him to do such a thing.

Faced with Jiang Yan's questioning, the Lord of the Abyss fell into an uncharacteristic silence.

And Jiang Yan stood quietly there, holding Heulia in both arms, continuously healing her wounds.

"The one who wanted those ores is not me."

After a long while, the Lord of the Abyss spoke.

"It's Rhinedottir, isn't it?"

Actually, the Lord of the Abyss didn't even need to say it.

When Jiang Yan learned that the Abyss had taken those ores, he already had a guess.

It wasn't the Abyss that needed those ores, but Rhinedottir.

Rhinedottir's importance to the Abyss naturally went without saying.

Only she was qualified to make the Lord of the Abyss risk coming to Liyue.

"Wood Spirit Immortal Lord is indeed meticulous in thought."

The Lord of the Abyss's hoarse voice reached Jiang Yan's ears, effectively acknowledging what Jiang Yan had said.

"Lord of the Abyss, whether it's you, or Rhinedottir, or anyone else from your Abyss."

Jiang Yan's voice echoed throughout the entire mine.

"Do not presume to provoke Liyue, and do not attempt to test my bottom line in this manner."

"Otherwise I wouldn't mind destroying the entire Abyss once again." End.
