Reincarnated As a Fox With System - Chapter 1174: Running Out of Options!
With just one flap of the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton’s wings, it could instantly cover more than ten miles!
Even Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy with [Wings of Freedom] buff did not have enough time to react when the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton reached her so suddenly!
BANG—!
The eight-headed giant dragon skeleton swung its claw at Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, but she parried it with the slender white sword in her grasp!
[Sword Art of Mystic Harmony], Redirection Flow—!
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy tried to deflect the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton’s claw attack and redirect it to another direction, but its claw attack was too powerful!
Even though Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy successfully deflected the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton’s claw attack, she was still thrown down and slammed hard onto the ground!
The slender white sword in her grasp had also filled with countless cracks and looked as if it could crumble apart at any time.
Before Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy had time to take a breath, the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton had already jumped down right above the perfect copy’s head!
Just when the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton was about to stamp on Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy…
CLAAANG—!
A surging sword energy suddenly struck the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton and pushed it back more than fifty meters!
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy found out that it was actually Lu Xingchen, who was helping her at the critical moment!
Of course, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy had already been prepared to use [Stellar Banishment] on herself just now, so even without Lu Xingchen’s help, she should still be able to avoid getting stomped by the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton.
Well… At least, it was Lu Xingchen’s thought that counted.
“Are you okay, Junior Sister Li? Should we fight against that monster together?” Lu Xingchen asked worriedly.
Before Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy could reply, the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton’s ninth head flew back toward its main body!
CLAAANG—!
Lu Xingchen reacted fast and slashed at the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton’s ninth head until it was tossed further away!
“No need to help me! You just need to make sure the heads that I have already severed would not reattach to the main body!” Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy said to Lu Xingchen in a solemn tone.
“Okay, do not worry! Leave it to me!” Lu Xingchen nodded his head in understanding.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy was clearly planned to make the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton busy fighting her and cut its heads one by one to decrease its combat power.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy infused the power of her [Energy Manipulation], Profound Law of Earth, Golden Sun Flame, and [Sharp Edge Power] into the slender white sword in her grasp.
The countless cracks on the slender white sword immediately disappeared, and it recovered completely like a newly made sword.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy instantly disappeared as she used [Void Shrinking Step] to teleport right behind the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton!
[Heavenly Sword Techniques], Flooding Stabs—!
The slender white sword in the perfect copy’s grasp split into countless sword images as she unleashed countless rapid thrusts toward the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton’s back!
CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—!
The [Flooding Stabs] unleashed by Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy were extremely fierce!
If her target was a living human cultivator, his body might have already been riddled with countless holes.
Unfortunately, the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton’s body was extremely hard, like an extremely hard spirit metal, so even the perfect copy’s fierce [Flooding Stabs] could only leave insignificant scratches on the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton’s back!
But Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy already knew that she should not be able to cut or break the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton that easily.
Her only intention was to make the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton completely focused on herself, so Lu Xingchen and the army of soldiers in full black armor could last longer against the army of living skeletons!
“ROAR!” The eight-headed giant dragon skeleton roared angrily as it spun its body and tried to sweep Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy with its bone wings!
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy twisted her graceful, slim body horizontally and managed to avoid getting hit by the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton’s bone wings by passing through the gaps between its bone wings!
The eight-headed giant dragon skeleton launched several attacks toward Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy!
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy dodged all of the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton’s attacks while trying to find a chance to use [Rainbow Cutter] to cut another head of the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton.
Unfortunately for Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton was already very wary of her, so it never gave her another chance to use her [Rainbow Cutter] again.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy only unleashed the second or third slashes from the [Rainbow Cutter] every time, and the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton would have already interrupted her with its attacks.
Even though they looked evenly matched at a glance, but to be honest, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy was having so much difficulty fighting on equal ground against the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy had attacked the eight-headed giant dragon thousands of times, and it still remained undamaged, except for losing one of its heads, while Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy would be heavily injured or even crippled if she got hit even once by the eight-headed giant dragon!
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy felt her pressure increase more and more as time passed!
Not to mention that her [Wings of Freedom] buff was getting closer and closer to the end of its duration!
The number of soldiers in black armor also rapidly decreased, which made Lu Xingchen swarmed by more and more living skeletons!
The time kept ticking.
Each second felt so slow for Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and Lu Xingchen as they felt more and more suffocated!
BOOOOM—!
The angry and annoyed eight-headed giant dragon skeleton decided to stop playing around and shot eight huge, destructive black beams from its eight mouths!
This time, all of them aimed at Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy!
There was no place for her to dodge or hide!
Even her two layers of barriers, which were [Void Barrier] and the transparent barrier created with [Energy Manipulation], were shattered to dust almost instantly!
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy gritted her pearl-white teeth as she decided to banish herself with [Stellar Banishment]!
Despite her sudden disappearance and being replaced by a ball of starlight, the eight light pillars of destructive black beams still had not stopped and kept shooting in her direction!
At this rate, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy would be blasted to nothingness as soon as the effect of her [Stellar Banishment] was worn off!
Even if she had the three deadly blow protections of her [Sun and Moon Aegis], it could only last for a few moments at most from the tyrannical power of the eight destructive black beams shot by the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton!
Just as Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy had expected, after the effect of her [Stellar Banishment] had worn off, and she returned from the banishment, the eight destructive black beams instantly struck her slender body mercilessly!
*Ding—!
[(Sun And Moon Aegis) resisted a deadly blow for you/your perfect copy! (2/3)]
*Ding—!
[(Sun And Moon Aegis) resisted a deadly blow for you/your perfect copy! (1/3)]
In just less than one breath, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy had lost two deadly blow protections of her [Sun and Moon Aegis]!
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy immediately activated the [Sun and Moon Aegis]’s second skill, [Sun and Moon Protection]!
[Sun and Moon Protection: Grant invulnerable protection for 3 seconds.]
In these three seconds, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy used this chance to cast [Void Shrinking Step] and teleported hundreds of meters away!
But the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton clearly would not let Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy get away safely just like that!
It moved its eight giant heads and aimed its eight destructive black beams to chase after Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy!
RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—!
The eight huge, destructive black beams swept the battlefield!
The eight destructive black beams even hit the army of living skeletons and wiped out a large number of them, but the eight-headed giant dragon skeleton did not care at all about it!
Just when the eight destructive black beams had caught up with Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and almost hit her…
BOOOOOM—!
Lu Xingchen suddenly stood right in front of Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy while holding his sword horizontally in front of him!
The eight destructive black beams struck Lu Xingchen’s sword, but they were blocked by Lu Xingchen’s powerful sword energy!
“Hehe, I finally have a chance to return your favor and save you!” Lu Xingchen said while smiling at Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy.
“You… Are you okay?” The speechless Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy slowly asked in a worried tone.
CRACK—!
After Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy finished her words, countless cracks spread on Lu Xingchen’s sword, and fresh blood flowed out from his mouth!
“Are you an idiot?! You do not need to sacrifice your life just to save me! I am just…” A clone… But Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy clearly could not tell that to Lu Xingchen, so she could only hold back her words.
Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy secretly felt very moved by Lu Xingchen’s sacrifice for her.
She gritted her pearl-white teeth in anger and frustration.
She still had a way to instantly escape from here, but she had completely run out of options to save Lu Xingchen from dying in this kind of situation!
