Chapter 997: Close Victory!
Chapter 997: Chapter 997: Close Victory!
There were many different types of advanced talismans that were given by Tang Li Xue to Little Loki.
Restriction-type advanced talismans such as the Demon Sealing Talisman, the Petrifying Light Talisman, the Five Elementals Restriction Talisman, the Earth Cage Talisman, and so on.
Illusion-type advanced talismans such as the Dream Butterfly Talisman, Nightmare Haunting Talisman, All Senses Sealing Talisman, Seven Emotions Six Desires Talisman, and so on.
Attack-type advanced talismans such as Lightning Dragon Talisman, Demon Slaying Light Talisman, Life Severing Sword Talisman, Cold Flame Talisman, Darkness Blade Talisman, and so on.
As for defense-type or buff-type advanced talismans, Tang Li Xue felt Little Loki did not need them, so she did not give them to Little Loki.
Each one of those advanced talismans might be far from enough to deal with Group Leader Long, but it would be a completely different story when Little Loki used all of them at once on Group Leader Long!
Just like the proverb says that many ants could even take down an elephant, not to mention all of these advanced talismans were much powerful than the mere ants!
Group Leader Long quickly crossed his Azure Dragon Sword in front of him as he tried to block all of those advanced talismans!
While Little Loki had already activated its [Instant Teleportation] to get away from there!
BOOOM~! BAAANG~! BAAANG~! BOOOM~! BOOOM~!
When so many attack-type advanced talismans exploded at once, even Group Leader Long could not block all of them.
Group Leader Long was thrown off more than a hundred meters and crashed heavily onto the wall of the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].
Group Leader Long spurted several mouthfuls of blood as his body slipped down from the wall.
Tang Li Xue saw that Group Leader Long had lost both of his arms because of the great chain explosions caused by the attack-type advanced talismans.
Group Leader Long also had not completely recovered from the effects of restriction-type and illusion-type advanced talismans.
Tang Li Xue’s heart almost jumped out of her chest as she hastily instructed Little Loki: “Little Loki, finish him now~!”
Little Loki took this chance to teleport right in front of Group Leader Long and used its [Heaven’s Devour]!
Group Leader Long was sucked into Little Loki’s tiny mouth as if he was swallowed by a tiny blackhole.
“Finally, it is over…” Tang Li Xue sighed in relief.
But her limp body immediately stiffened, and her pale face became even paler, as she realized something extremely crucial.
Tang Li Xue slapped her forehead lightly while saying: “Oh no, that guy’s spatial ring is also swallowed by Little Loki~! I should just let Xi’er finish him off instead!”
Little Loki and Fire Guardian rolled their eyes disdainfully in unison, while Xi’er giggled in amusement when they heard Tang Li Xue’s complaint.
Little Loki no longer bothered to pay any attention to its cheapskate master as it decided to quickly help Lucia and Yaya, who were still currently facing more than fifteen Nascent Soul Masters from Yama Palace.
Xi’er also rushed toward the fifteen Nascent Soul Masters from Yama Palace bravely as she transformed her pitch-black [Sword of Disaster] into a huge black axe.
Along with Fire Guardian, who kept assisting them using the power of Flame Floor, their battle immediately tilted to one side.
Little Loki’s tiny figure split into thirty identical clones as it used its [Phantom Splitters], then it used [Instant Teleportation] to surround the fifteen Nascent Soul Masters from Yama Palace from all sides!
[Earth Locking Heaven Slaying Formation] plus [Flash and Slash] plus [Scythe Claw Qi]~!
Lucia and Yaya also took this opportunity to unleash their skills!
[Compressed Wind Swords] x30 plus [Vacuum Slashes]~!
[Golden Light Spell] plus [Blade Feather Projectiles]~!
[Flame Dragon’s Breath] x9~!
PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~! PUFF~!
The fifteen Nascent Soul Masters from Yama Palace had already tried their best to defend themselves using their defensive-type spells, skills, talismans, and treasures, but they clearly could not block all of the powerful attacks that came at them from all directions like falling rain!
“No, please spare our lives! We can become your guards or slaves from now on!” Some Nascent Soul Masters from Yama Palace yelled with a desperate tone.
Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue and her group clearly could not just spare any of them since they already knew about the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].
Grandmaster Nie Jun’s warning, written on the stone monument outside [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda], had already mentioned it.
This [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] was too precious, so if the news about this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] were spread, then everyone, including the powerhouses from the Main Central Continent, would be tempted and come to rob it.
Even if Tang Li Xue somehow managed to completely recover all of her strength later, she would not be able to hold this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda] for long.
So, Tang Li Xue could only say sorry to Miracle Doctor Xu in her heart since she definitely could not spare these people from Yama Palace.
It did not take long for the defense of the fifteen Nascent Soul Masters from Yama Palace to be completely broken by the combination attacks of Xi’er, Yaya, Lucia, and Little Loki.
When those fifteen Nascent Soul Masters were riddled with wounds and disordered in panic, Little Loki used its [Instant Teleportation] to appear right behind them and unleashed its [Heaven’s Devour].
“No, Little Loki~! Stop~!” Tang Li Xue yelled unwillingly to stop Little Loki, but unfortunately, it was a bit too late because those fifteen Nascent Soul Masters from Yama Palace were already sucked into Little Loki’s tiny mouth.
“At least leave their spatial ring behind first, you greedy kitten~!” Tang Li Xue could only wail in sorrow when she saw Little Loki greedily lick its lips and narrow its eyes in satisfaction.
Because Little Loki swallowed Group Leader Long and all Yama Palace’s masters along with their spatial rings, it could be said that Tang Li Xue got nothing from this battle.
Moreover, more than four-fifths of the high-grade spirit stones left behind by Grandmaster Nie Jun were consumed in this battle.
Not to mention, Tang Li Xue had already used most of her Yuan Coins to rapidly strengthen her ghost soldiers before.
In short, almost went bankrupt after this battle.
Fortunately, Grandmaster Nie Jun’s inheritance also had many treasures other than high-grade spirit stones, such as precious spirit herbs and fruits, all kinds of treasure refining materials, various spirit treasures, and so on.
All of them were very valuable, and they could surely be sold at a sky-high price in the future.
Of course, Tang Li Xue did not dare to sell all of them at once in her current situation, or she would be targeted by many people when she tried to sell those things.
Meanwhile, Yaya, Lucia, and Xi’er did not even have the energy to tease Tang Li Xue as they lay on the floor in exhaustion.
Especially Lucia, she was actually covered with wounds despite already wearing [Silver Dragon Skin Pearl] in the battle.
It was because Lucia used her body to block all of the attacks from the fifteen Nascent Soul Masters from Yama Palace to protect Yaya and to prevent them from helping Group Leader Long to fight Xi’er and Little Loki just now.
Tang Li Xue quickly took out several advanced healing talismans and used them on Lucia.
Although Lucia would be able to completely recover in only one hour or so if Tang Li Xue brought her to Water Floor, but Tang Li Xue was unwilling to let any of her team suffer for so long.
Anyway, she obtained all of the advanced talismans for free from her previous opponents.
Everyone was very exhausted after such a fierce battle with Yama Palace’s masters and only barely got a close victory, so it did not take long for them to fall asleep on the Flame Floor.
Tang Li Xue might not seem to do much, but her [Soul Slaying Sword] was actually the reason they could turn the tables and defeat Group Leader Long in the end.
But the recoil from using [Soul Slaying Sword] had injured and exhausted her fragile body, which was ravaged by the destructive space energy from inside.
In fact, Tang Li Xue had already almost passed out right after she used [Soul Slaying Sword], but she still forcefully endured with her sheer will until the battle was finally over.
Fire Guardian did not bother them and let them sleep on its Flame Floor as long as they wanted.
Little Loki was the first one to wake up, but it did not wake Tang Li Xue and the others.
Little Loki silently trotted to the other floors and began its important task to taste whether Grandmaster Nie Jun’s treasures were poisoned or not.
Yaya was the second one to wake up. She went to the third floor, Wind Floor, to play around with Wind Guardian and relieve her boredom.
Not long after that, Xi’er and Lucia also woke up, but they did not go anywhere and guarded right beside the sleeping Tang Li Xue instead.
Tang Li Xue’s condition was already quite bad because destructive space energy in her body, so each time she used [Soul Slaying Sword], she would pass out for a few days.
Xi’er and Lucia decided to carry Tang Li Xue to the Water Floor, so she could recover faster.
Even though Water Floor’s recovery effect was almost negligible due to the severe lack of spiritual energy, but it was still better than nothing.
Thanks to that, Tang Li Xue managed to wake up in around two and a half days.
