"Is this... the secret of the Blood Shadow Legion?"
Swain held the alchemical potion in his hand, looking at the bright purple liquid with some confusion.
The other party gave him the item so easily, and what kind of power did this item possess that gave the other party the confidence to say such things?
Conquer the world? Ha! He probably doesn't know how deep the waters of this world run. Does he really think he can defeat the real monsters of this world with just alchemical potions?
Swain assumed that Xu Xiao was the kind of mage who accidentally discovered a powerful alchemical potion, and was skeptical of his words.
"They're just some small gadgets, but they're quite good for enhancing Noxus warriors."
"With it, your army will be unstoppable in mortal realms, and unifying the continent will be only a matter of time."
"As for those beings at higher levels, as long as I am here, you are not without a chance to contend with them."
"Oh, right, including that one who's been keeping an eye on Noxus from the Underworld, ready to retaliate at any moment."
Xu Xiao went straight to the point, even pointing out Noxus's biggest threat at the moment— Mordekaiser.
The true master of that Immortal Bastion, a powerful undead monster, an ambitious man who coveted immortality and began his ascent to God.
"So, Swain, and LeBlanc, what do you think of my proposal?"
Xu Xiao turned his gaze to a corner of the tent, seemingly having already detected the intruders' presence.
"Such keen insight! How did you spot me?!"
A languid female voice rang out, and then, as if appearing out of thin air, a woman's figure appeared in the tent.
At some point, the leader of the Black Hand Rose also followed Swain to this place.
"When you stepped into the camp and brazenly stared at me, I didn't expose you because I was waiting for Swain's arrival."
Xu Xiao spoke casually, but LeBlanc's expression suddenly turned cold after her trickery.
'He knew I was coming all along? Then... does that mean my trickery had no effect on him?'
For the first time, this witch, who has always represented deception and illusion, felt insecure about her own talents.
'Impossible! Even the magic of the Eye of Truth can't see through my power! Even that damned undead can't distinguish my clone, he couldn't possibly do it!'
'But how did he know about me, and about the secret of that dead spirit?'
This moment of mental turmoil even made LeBlanc, who was always calm and prided herself on being in control, somewhat flustered.
A thousand years ago, she plotted against that powerful undead, and has been using trickery and schemes to divide, win over, and control power. Now, first, an uncontrollable Swain has appeared.
Now, a mysterious sorcerer has revealed the truth in a single sentence. How can we keep her calm?
Fortunately, Xu Xiao didn't intend to target her. He had already realized that what had come was just a clone of LeBlanc, and even if he captured it, it wouldn't be of much use.
LeBlanc's ability to create illusionary clones is indeed powerful, but it only works on mortals; it's useless against him.
Let alone a mortal's trick of creating clones, even the transformation of God's aura or reincarnation would be useless against him.
From the perspective of higher-dimensional experience, this kind of concealment and deception magic is a minor trick and has no effect whatsoever.
Xu Xiao personally uprooted all the spies and seeds of manipulation by LeBlanc within the Blood Shadow Legion.
"Okay or no, give me an answer. I don't like dragging things out."
"If cooperation is not possible, then I will have no choice but to painstakingly eliminate you and personally take control of this country's power."
After Xu Xiao finished speaking slowly and deliberately, he sat down again to wait for the two to respond.
Taking over an empire by force is certainly the most effective method, but it would require integrating various factions and eliminating them afterward, which Xu Xiao doesn't have that much time to do.
The most important thing right now is to find the monkey's reincarnation. Only when the two of them are reunited can they begin to make other plans.
"Are you so confident you can defeat us? Noxus don't easily submit to someone of unknown origin."
Swain's left arm emitted a crimson glow, and demonic power surged within his body.
LeBlanc, standing nearby, also began to glow, silently gathering magical power in preparation for casting her magic chains.
Neither of them were easily intimidated. Although the monk in front of them appeared very calm and composed, his aura subtly exuded a threatening aura.
But as Noxus, they would never allow themselves to be so weak if they were scared off without even engaging in combat.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Sensing the killing intent of the two men, Xu Xiao had no choice but to take action.
Magical runes instantly covered his skin, and a powerful Arcane Energy enveloped the surroundings.
Swain and LeBlanc attacked at the same time, unleashing two attacks in an instant.
Ethereal Chains!
Demonic Touch!
However, this power, which was unmatched by mortals, was completely ineffective against the Arcane Energy that surrounded Xu Xiao.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot! Fire Fly's brilliance dares to rival the moon's light."
Xu Xiao sneered, Arcane Energy around him instantly transformed into a bright shield.
The Ethereal Chains shattered inch by inch, vanishing in an instant; the crimson demonic power was instantly purified upon contact with the Arcane shield.
Xu Xiao's growth rate was unimaginable to any human. He was analyzing the magic system of this world almost every moment, and at the same time, he was getting stronger.
At this point, he was not much different from those legendary Demigod, and had even begun to try to condense authority over magic.
Such a being is absolutely impossible for humanity to defeat!
LeBlanc chose to flee the moment she launched her attack, but before she could get far, she was engulfed by a burst of Arcane Energy.
Fortunately, this was just a clone and didn't affect her main body.
"Just you wait, I'll come looking for you. These little tricks of yours will only prolong your life a little longer."
Xu Xiao looked up at the vanished LeBlanc, then turned to look at Swain.
Having witnessed the disparity in strength, do you still intend to put up a stubborn resistance?
Swain silent, but a surge of violent demonic power erupted from his body, and a pair of scarlet wings unfurled behind him.
" Raum! I need your strength!"
"Hahaha! Swain, I told you you'd have a time to use me!"
"Naive? Then let me show you what true overwhelming power is!"
Xu Xiao examined the entity within Swain's body with a hint of curiosity, then raised his hand and fired Arcane Missiles.
The initial plan was to resolve the matter peacefully and simply seize control of Noxus, but it now appears that force will be necessary.
