Chapter 660 Chapter 660: Decisive Clas.h.!.+
"d.a.m.n it~!" Tang Li Xue, who had already transformed back into her fox form, gnashed her fangs in frustration.
There were several reasons why Tang Li Xue always wanted to finish as many guards and soldiers as she could with a sudden sneak attack.
But mostly, it was because these guards and soldiers would become extremely troublesome after they formed battle formations and used their treasures to fight.
Just like now...
When those few dozen guards and soldiers formed their battle formations, they began to emit a faint overbearing pressure. Even their strength seemed to overlap and stack with each other.
There was no doubt that they really suddenly got stronger several times in their current battle formation.
As they took their battle stance and brandished their treasured spears at Tang Li Xue and her group, Tang Li Xue faintly saw an image of Pixiu formed above those guards and soldiers.
The faint image of Pixiu angrily roared at Tang Li Xue and her group, and it was ready to pounce at them at any time.
Meanwhile, Little Loki had acted the fastest as it already used its [Phantom Splitters] to split itself into three!
Three Little Lokis used [Instant Teleportation] to appear right in the middle of their battle formation, and then three Little Lokis swiftly launched an attack on several guards and soldiers to disrupt their battle formation!
[Flash and Slash]~!
Unfortunately, their Pixiu Battle Formation was not that easy to handle...
Those guards and soldiers had already become several times stronger in their Pixiu Battle Formation, and they easily blocked the sudden attack from three Little Lokis.
Yaya also did not remain idle at all. She danced agilely in mid-air and summoned out more than twenty [Compressed Wind Swords].
Those more than twenty [Compressed Wind Swords] a.s.saulted the guards and soldiers swiftly from all directions!
However, the Pixiu image suddenly roared out loud, and all of Yaya"s [Compressed Wind Swords] bounced off before they could touch those guards and soldiers.
Tang Li Xue quickly controlled her [Sun Dragon Claws], and the [Sun Dragon Claws] slashed down the huge broadsword to cut the Pixiu image!
Tang Li Xue even added [Sharp Edge Power] buff onto the huge broadsword to increase its sharpness and killing power many times!
The extremely sharp huge broadsword split the Pixiu image in two in one cleave, but it did not affect their battle at all since the Pixiu image was only the product of those guards" and soldiers" battle formation.
In a few breaths at most, the Pixiu image would be restored back to normal again.
But those few breaths of opening were very precious for Tang Li Xue and her group, since they could attack those guards and soldiers without worrying about the protection of that annoying Pixiu image!
.....
When Tang Li Xue and her group were fighting fiercely against those guards and soldiers, the two intruder foxes had already managed to sneak out from the Imperial Palace safely without facing any trouble at all.
Two intruder foxes tore their human skin disguise and threw it away onto the nearby bushes.
The pet.i.te fox girl with khaki-colored twin-tail hair halted her step and asked with a nervous tone: "We already successfully went out of the Imperial Palace. Now you can tell me the secret rule that allows me to also win this treasure game, right?"
The tall fox girl smiled while replying in a playful tone: "Hehehe... Are you really so afraid that I will break my promise to you~?!"
The pet.i.te fox girl"s body became tense, and she suddenly jumped back to keep her distance from the tall fox girl vigilantly.
Both she and the tall fox girl were compet.i.tors in this treasure game, and the first one who successfully got out of this Imperial City would be the final winner of this treasure game.
The only reason that kept the pet.i.te fox girl from backstabbing the tall fox girl until now was because she said that there was a hidden rule that could make both of them win this treasure game together.
The tall fox girl giggled at the pet.i.te fox girl"s cautious act and said: "All right, I will stop teasing you. We no longer have much time, so I will tell you only once about it so listen to me carefully."
The tall fox girl stopped teasing the pet.i.te fox girl, and her expression became solemn.
"I also got the information about this hidden rule from my Boss. I have not tried it yet by myself, but the information should be true." The tall fox girl muttered while showing a glowing green va.s.sal mark hidden on her right shoulder to the pet.i.te fox girl.
It meant the tall fox girl got that information from her boss, the Apex Predator-level fox, so there was no need to doubt that it should be 100% true.
"My boss told me that there are two types of treasure games, compet.i.tive type and story type."
"Compet.i.tive-type treasure games do not have any hidden rules, but the story-type treasure games like the one we are in should have it."
"The condition to fulfill it is to obtain the treasure hidden inside the story-type treasure games... In our current treasure game, it should be the Imperial Treasures!"
The tall fox girl ended her explanation and patiently waited for the pet.i.te fox girl to think.
The pet.i.te fox girl digested the information for a few moments and asked with a doubtful tone: "So, I must steal all the Imperial Treasures or what? Then what should I do next after I managed to do it?"
The tall fox girl replied again with a solemn expression: "Yes, you must steal or rob everything! Don"t ask me how! I also do not know the exact way to do it! Maybe you can just gather all of them in one place".
"After that, all you have to do is guard that place and wait until I win this treasure game. At that time, both of us will be counted as the winner in this treasure game, and both of us will get the reward." The tall fox girl patted the pet.i.te fox girl"s head to rea.s.sure her.
"My boss told me if I managed to get the hidden treasures and also win the treasure game, then I would obtain two treasures at once." The tall fox girl added a few more sentences to make it as if she was the one who was at a disadvantage in their cooperation.
The pet.i.te fox girl stared gratefully at the tall fox girl and uttered: "Thank you, you are a nice fox~!"
The tall fox girl patted the pet.i.te fox girl"s head a few more times before she turned around while waving her hand and saying: "There should be quite many guards guarding the Imperial Treasury Warehouse, so you should be careful~!"
The pet.i.te fox girl took out another human skin and began to disguise herself as a maid.
Then she easily sneaked into the Imperial Palace again and began to search the location of the Imperial Treasury Warehouse.
.....
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue and her group had reached the critical point of their battle against several dozens of guards and soldiers!
Before the annoying Pixiu image could recover, Tang Li Xue hastily unleashed [Spirit Shock] to stun those several dozen guards and soldiers for a few seconds!
Three Little Lokis and Yaya took this chance to launch fatal attacks on those stunned guards and soldiers!
[Flash and Slash] plus [Scythe Claw Qi] x3~!
[Whirlwind Vacuum Wave]~!
Tang Li Xue also controlled the [Sun Dragon Claws] that held the huge broadsword to attack the stunned guards and soldiers!
[Supreme Speed Sword Style], Rapid Quick Slashes!
PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~!
Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and three Little Lokis managed to instantly slay more than half of them in those few seconds before they recovered from the [Spirit Shock]"s stun effect.
Unfortunately, the overbearing image of Pixiu had already recovered, and it quickly helped those guards and soldiers to repel the attack from Tang Li Xue and her group.
Tang Li Xue activated her [Mystic Whisper] without any hesitation and shouted: "Kill yourself with your weapon~!"
Tang Li Xue"s words seemed to penetrate directly into the consciousness of those guards and soldiers.
But before those guards and soldiers could do anything, the Pixiu image roared out loud to the sky.
Its roar managed to counter the effect of Tang Li Xue"s [Mystic Whisper] and made those guards and soldiers instantly become sober.
"Tsk~! What an annoying battle formation~!" Tang Li Xue complained in annoyance.
But Tang Li Xue could sense with her [Extrasensory Perception] that the power of Pixiu had decreased quite a lot after she, Little Loki, and Yaya slaughtered more than half of those guards and soldiers.
Tang Li Xue was quite sure that she and her group could defeat all of the Pixiu, guards, and soldiers in one or two more minutes, but she still felt that it was too long.
One or two minutes was more than enough for the other guards and soldiers to notice their fierce battle here, so she needed to finish these people faster before anyone noticed it!
Little Loki and Yaya already knew Tang Li Xue"s intention from their mental connection, so they also became more serious about dealing with these people!
Yaya immediately used [Wind Guardian Blessing] on herself, Tang Li Xue, and Little Loki to increase their overall speed by 50%.
Tang Li Xue also used [Sharp Edge Power] on Little Loki"s tiny claws to increase their sharpness by several times!
