Chapter 616 Chapter 616: Thrilling Battle on the Street!
Thankfully, Tang Li Xue had already sensed the incoming danger with her [Extrasensory Perception] and quickly used her [Energy Manipulation] to create a transparent barrier.
Tang Li Xue managed to protect everyone inside the luxurious carriage on time, but it did not make her happy at all since her plan was completely ruined right now.
What was even more annoying was that she was forced to stay here and protect these two pampered young masters like their personal bodyguards.
She clearly could not just take away the two fox sisters and dump these pampered young masters to die here.
There were too many eye-witnesses that saw she was traveling with these Young Master Lin and Young Master Wang from the slave house.
If they suddenly died here, and she disappeared with two fox sisters, she would certainly be hunted by both Lin Family and Wang Family.
That was clearly the worst case to happen since she still needed to find and save the other eight kidnapped foxes other than these two fox sisters!
‘Damn it~! Who dares to attack us right at this moment?! I swear I will skin them alive!’ Tang Li Xue thought in fury.
Even though Tang Li Xue was very angry right now, but her mind was still calm.
She carefully scanned her surroundings but failed to find the culprit.
They were currently in a quite crowded street.
Their sudden battle and explosion clearly made the surrounding people run around in panic. Around a dozen of them even died in the explosion and stampede.
The surrounding situation was extremely chaotic, so it was not easy for Tang Li Xue to find their attacker under this condition.
Because of the luxurious carriage’s explosion, the four Core Formation Stage bodyguards stopped fighting against Little Loki, and they hastily came back to protect the two young masters, so Tang Li Xue lost her only opportunity to control the two young masters with her [Mystic Whisper].
Even the other dozen bodyguards quickly got off from their carriage. They surrounded the two young masters to protect them from any enemies.
Tang Li Xue felt extremely regretful, but there was nothing she could do right now other than try to find another way to bring away the two fox sisters from them.
When Tang Li Xue felt the situation should be already stable and safe for them, the culprit actually dared to launch another attack toward them!
“Watch out~!” Tang Li Xue shouted as she sensed another incoming danger with her [Extrasensory Perception].
She quickly pulled down the two fox sisters and lay down on the ground.
Tens of arrows shot mercilessly toward their group!
PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~!
Dozens of bodyguards with lower cultivation level was killed almost instantly by the rain of arrows!
Tang Li Xue still managed to protect herself and the two fox sisters using her transparent barrier created from [Energy Manipulation].
‘Arrows?! I thought the attackers should be my competitors in this treasure game, but since they attack using arrows, it means the attackers are humans, not foxes!’ Tang Li Xue concluded in her mind.
Just like what Tang Li Xue had expected, the attackers on the top of nearby buildings were actually humans covered in black clothes from head to toe.
But not long after Tang Li Xue concluded like that, something out of her expectations was happening in front of her eyes again.
An amber-colored fox clad in the vermillion flame appeared on the black-clothed humans’ side!
While she was stunned in confusion and astonishment, her [Extrasensory Perception] sensed an incoming danger much more intense than before!
Tang Li Xue’s expression instantly changed as she quickly patted the ground with her palm and activated her [Mother Earth’s Gift]!
RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!
The ground below Tang Li Xue and the two fox sisters’ feet suddenly raised into a stone wall and lifted the three of them to a dozen meters high.
The amber-colored fox clad in the vermillion flame took a deep breath and let out a vermillion flame ray from its mouth!
BOOOOOOOOOMM~!
The vermillion flame ray decimated everything in its path including the stone wall Tang Li Xue erected!
It even created a deep crack along the street!
One of the four Core Formation Stage bodyguards was split in two at his waist by the vermillion flame ray and died without even realizing what had hit him, while the other one lost his right hand.
Only two Core Formation Stage bodyguards who quickly carried the two young masters to get away from here beforehand could escape unharmed.
Because the stone wall was broken by the vermillion flame ray, Tang Li Xue and the two fox sisters fell down from the top of the stone wall.
Tang Li Xue hastily caught the two fox sisters and created a flying disc under their feet with her [Energy manipulation].
‘Little Loki, change of plan~! Please stall these people and that fox for a while, I will bring these two fox girls out safely from here first! Then you can chase after us later.’ Tang Li Xue instructed Little Loki with her telepathy.
To be honest, Tang Li Xue did not have any confidence that she could face these people plus the amber-colored fox at once in her Human transfiguration form since she could only use a third of her overall stats in this form.
Surprisingly, only the amber-colored fox hastily chased after Tang Li Xue and the two fox sisters, while the black-clothed people quickly chased after the two young masters instead.
The amber-colored fox jumped from the top of one building to another, while the black-clothed people jumped down and entered the narrow alley to chase the two young masters that had been carried away by their two Core Formation Stage bodyguards.
However, the Core Formation Stage bodyguard who lost his right hand swiftly blocked the black-clothed people in the narrow alley. Both sides were fighting very fiercely without regard for their lives.
At that time, the amber-colored fox almost jumped onto Tang Li Xue’s flying disc from the rooftop, Little Loki immediately used its [Instant Teleportation] to appear right above the amber-colored fox!
[Scythe Claw Qi]~!
The amber-colored fox halted its step, and Little Loki’s [Scythe Claw Qi] hit the roof tiles in front of the amber-colored fox.
If the amber-colored fox still forcefully jumped toward Tang Li Xue’s flying disc, it would be already cut in two by Little Loki’s [Scythe Claw Qi]!
The amber-colored fox glared at Little Loki in annoyance when Little Loki landed on the rooftop and sat lazily right in front of it.
The amber-colored fox gnashed its fangs in anger at Little Loki’s naked provocation. It unleashed its vermillion flames to attack Little Loki while Little Loki summoned out its two [Phantom Splitter] clones to face the amber-colored fox.
The amber-colored fox was fighting fiercely against the three Little Lokis at once using its vermillion flames!
…..
Tang Li Xue sighed in relief after making sure that no one followed behind her.
‘Fiuh~! That was too thrilling for me~! I hope there will be no unexpected thing happening again from now on.’ Tang Li Xue annoyedly complained in her heart.
After flying a bit farther, Tang Li Xue controlled the flying disc to land and dispersed the flying disc.
Then she immediately created two sets of white hooded cloaks with her [Energy Manipulation] to cover the two fox sisters since their fox tails and ears were too eye-catching.
“Follow me closely~!” Tang Li Xue muttered to the two fox sisters with a solemn expression.
The two fox sisters nodded obediently to Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue did not dare to bring the two fox sisters to fly with her flying disc in this Mountain Fortress City, because it was easy to attract unwanted attention in that way.
It would be easier to get rid of their chasers by blending and mingling with the crowd of people in the street.
While leading the way in front of the two fox sisters, Tang Li Xue frowned deeply as she found another problem in this treasure game.
The rules of this treasure game only said to set free all the kidnapped foxes from the hands of those humans, but it did not mention very clearly what it means to set them free.
‘Should I bring them out of this city and escort them to the forest outside the city to be counted as set them free?’ Tang Li Xue thought in frustration.
After pondering for a while, Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes flickered in hesitation: ‘It is too troublesome for me to escort them out from the city to the forest by myself every time.’
‘Since the rules do not specify how we should set them free, then it should not have any restrictions. As long as we can take the kidnapped foxes out of the city, it should be considered as setting them free.’ Tang Li Xue thought as she planned to use a more convenient way to do it.
Tang Li Xue approached the nearby carriage and used her [Mystic Whisper] on the carriage driver. She brought the two fox sisters to ride on the carriage.
After the carriage reached the city gate, Tang Li Xue used her [Mystic Whisper] on the gate guards, so they would let the carriage pass the city gate without any trouble.
‘With this, it should be counted that I managed to set free two kidnapped foxes from humans, right? Umm… Well, it should be…’ Tang Li Xue hesitantly thought.
Tang Li Xue herself did not go out of the city with that carriage. She went back into the slum area to meet with the previous thugs and let them get more information for her.
