Chapter 266: Between Life and Death!
The perfect copy's [Moon Splitter] easily cut off all the invisible threads that entangled Ye Zhen's body.
The perfect copy's [Extrasensory Perception] divine ability worked at maximum in sensing the two enemies' every movement, and her mind was thinking faster thanks to all of her skills.
'That skull masked man is injured, but that demon-masked aunt does not even help him now. It seems someone has to suppress and take control of that divine treasure's fragment so it will not go out of control. In short, that demon-masked aunt cannot move right now!' Tang Li Xue concluded in her mind.
The demon-masked woman did not actually look old maybe she was 25-30 years old if anyone looked at her smooth skin and voluptuous curvy body.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy clearly loathed the voluptuous woman with a demon mask because that woman has a pair of bigger 'assets' than her.
'Humph! So what if she has bigger assets?! I am sure it will sag soon! I will take her down first no matter what it takes!' Tang Li Xue snorted in disdain.
Despite her mind scattered here and there, the perfect copy's every movement was still swift and precise as she used her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] and flashed toward the demon-masked woman.
"Stop there!" The skull-masked man shouted in anger.
He pulled the silver spear which penetrated deeply into his shoulder and threw it toward Tang Li Xue's perfect copy with all of his strength.
The silver spear flew twice faster than before when Ye Zhen threw it toward the skull masked man!
BBBAAAAAAAANGG~~!!!
'Damn it!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy gnashed her teeth as she was forced to swiftly jump backward to dodge the silver spear which aimed toward her.
The silver spear missed her by a few inches and plugged deeply into the floor right in front of her.
It could be easily imagined how amazing the power behind it if this silver spear hit her slender body, it would sure penetrate through her body.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy stopped her step for a moment, but Ye Zhen already caught up to her from behind and grabbed the spear in front of her while kept charging toward the woman with the demon mask at his full speed.
The expression of skull masked man immediately turned grim, and he started to make a few hand gestures while chanting an unknown mantra with his mouth.
The blood in the small pool started to squirming and churning violently.
The sprinting Ye Zhen started to hesitate for a moment and decreased his speed, but Tang Li Xue's perfect copy reminded him from behind: "Do not stop! Go! I will cover you from behind!"
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy did not want to use her [Energy Manipulation] divine ability since the ability to create something out from nothing seems too eye-catching.
She was afraid this Ye Zhen would realize that she was not a human and stabbed her from behind at the critical moment.
'My [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step], [Moon Splitter], and [Blood Ignition] should be enough to handle this situation for now. I do not even need to fight with these two villains. I just need to take that fragment of Divine Treasure and stop the blood barrier!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy decided on her heart.
A crimson shadow jumped out from the blood pool and flashed toward Ye Zhen!
'[Blood Ignition] - Double Amplification plus [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step]!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy did not hesitate and used both at the same time.
BBBAAAAAAAANGG~~!!!
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy threw a sharp kick with her right foot to the crimson shadow the moment before it could touch Ye Zhen.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy winced a bit when she felt a stinging pain from her right foot: 'That is hurt! What the hell am I kicking?! A piece of metal?'
The crimson shadow twisted flexibly in mid-air and landed steadily right in front of the demon-masked woman.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy finally could see the crimson shadow's true form clearly.
It was actually a robust blood-colored tiger with many sharp spikes on its body as if it was wearing spiked armor covering its entire body.
'This blood tiger looks familiar... Ah, this technique is identical with how that old elder created the Blood Flood Dragon?!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy exclaimed in her mind.
Ye Zhen did not even look at the blood tiger. He mercilessly thrust his sharp silver spear rapidly, and his target was the demon-masked woman behind the blood tiger!
Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank! Clank!
The blood tiger actually stood up with its two feet and used its robust body to protect the demon-masked woman from Ye Zhen's torrent of attacks!
"This blood tiger is really tough, and its body is also hard like a steel statue!" Ye Zhen murmured in surprise.
ROOOOAAAAARRRR~!!!
The blood armored tiger roared in anger. It pounced toward Ye Zhen and brandished its sharp claw heavily.
'[Blood Ignition] - Quadruple Amplification!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy raised her power output once again with the divine ability she copied from Hei Yinghao.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy ran past Ye Zhen and used her [Moon Splitter] toward the blood armored tiger!
BBBAAAAAAAANGG~~!!!
The perfect copy's [Moon Splitter] did not manage to split the blood armored tiger in two, but it managed to leave a deep gash and push it a few steps backward.
The blood armored tiger's sharp claw also missed Ye Zhen by a few centimeters.
'Chance!' Ye Zhen immediately took this rare opportunity when the blood armored tiger still stood unsteadily and swept the blood armored tiger's feet with his silver spear using all of his strength.
The blood armored tiger's body fell heavily down onto the floor after Ye Zhen squatted down and used his silver spear to sweep the blood armored tiger's feet.
The teamwork between Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and Ye Zhen was almost flawless. Anyone would never believe it if they told the others that they were working together for the first time today.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy also did not let this opportunity pass and jumped over the blood armored tiger toward the demon-masked woman.
The demon-masked woman was still closing her eyes and busily chanting the unknown mantra non-stop while kept making many hand gestures. Her cold sweat kept pouring out and made her forehead and back wet.
It seemed the deduction of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was right. These two elders should have done whatever they did together, but now their burden fell onto this demon-masked woman's shoulder alone after the skull masked man got injured.
As a result of that, this demon-masked woman was currently defenseless right now!
[Moon Splitter]!
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy wanted to wave her hand and threw her [Moon Splitter] toward the demon-masked woman, but her wrist was grasped by someone in an instant! She failed to use her [Moon Splitter]!
The skull-masked man has already arrived behind Tang Li Xue?????s perfect copy and Ye Zhen!
He even stopped Tang Li Xue's perfect copy from attacking the demon-masked woman!
Actually, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy already sensed the skull-masked man's presence with her [Extrasensory Perception], but she miscalculated the skull-masked man's speed.
The skull-masked man actually used a strange martial art technique to increase his speed by several-folds for a short distance.
The skull-masked man held the perfect copy's wrist tightly with his right hand and threw a powerful palm attack with his left palm!
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy could not dodge his attack since the skull-masked man held her wrist so tightly. She could only raise her other hand and activated her [Golden Body] divine ability to defend herself.
BBBAAAAAAAANGG~~!!! CRACK~!!!
The hand used by Tang Li Xue's perfect copy to defend was broken, and the skull-masked man's palm heavily struck her chest.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy took a few steps backward and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
The skull-masked man did not expect that some of his attack power reflected back by Tang Li Xue's [Golden Body], so he released Tang Li Xue's wrist and took a few steps back too.
The skull-masked man did not hurt that much since the [Golden Body] only reflected 25% of his attack power back, but his body still felt really uncomfortable.
If even the skull-masked man felt that bad after received only 25% of his own attack power, the current condition of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was certainly a lot worse than him.
"Miss Xiao Xue!" Ye Zhen shouted with a tone full of worry.
He immediately moved swiftly and held Tang Li Xue's shoulder, then pulled her back.
They were currently sandwiched between the skull-masked man and the blood armored tiger.
If both of them attacked Ye Zhen and Tang Li Xue's perfect copy from both sides, the situation would be fatal for Ye Zhen and Tang Li Xue's perfect copy!
Of course, the blood armored tiger would not let them off so easily!
RROOOOOAAAAAARRR~!!!
It pounced to Ye Zhen and Tang Li Xue's perfect copy once again while swung its sharp claw toward them!
Ye Zhen skillfully spun his silver spear to deflect the blood armored tiger heavy claw!
BBBAAAAAAAANGG~~!!!
Ye Zhen took a few steps back as the blood raised from his throat, but he immediately swallowed it down again since he did not want to appear weak in front of Tang Li Xue.
"Young Miss Xiao Xue, are you all right? Your hand…" Ye Zhen said as he checked Tang Li Xue's condition anxiously.
The right hand of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was dangling powerlessly on her right shoulder, but she still raised her left hand to signal Ye Zhen to stop worrying about her.
"Young Master Ye, I am all right! You do not need to worry about me. But our current situation is not looking good…" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy said as she frowned deeply.
The strength of this skull-masked man was a lot stronger than she expected. She did not have any chance of winning even if she joined hand with Ye Zhen.
Even if she turned back into her fox form and got three times more powerful, Tang Li Xue thought she should only have 50% chance of winning in one on one battle with this skull-masked man.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy coughed another mouthful of blood again, and she felt her wound actually got worsened.
'This… It seems I got hit by the strange martial art from that skull-masked man. This is bad… His blood energy already invaded my body and started to corrode my internal organ!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy thought as she groped her long-sleeve and tried to find something.
'Ahhhh! My real self! You slave driver a*shole! How can you forget to give me something really important like the talisman?! The heck, not only you did not give me any buff talisman, but you also did not even give me the [Talisman of Regeneration] to heal myself!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was lamented in her heart. She really wanted to cry so badly right now.
