552 Chapter 552: The Only Way to Counterattack!
Tang Li Xue started to panic when she saw that even the most powerful fox between them, the black and white striped fox, was beaten so badly by the Doppelganger.
Tang Li Xue hesitated between helping the black and white striped fox to fight against the Doppelganger or running away quickly from here.
Actually, Tang Li Xue wanted to run away... err, initiate a tactical retreat and wait patiently for at least until the one-hour duration of [Merge] skill was up.
At that time, the Doppelganger would enter a temporary weak state, then Tang Li Xue would have much bigger odds of winning against the Doppelganger.
"No, no, no... That plan is futile since it also has [Quick Restore] divine ability that can clear the weak state in an instant." Tang Li Xue murmured as she shook her head in disappointment.
When Tang Li Xue was hesitating and pondering her next plan carefully, the Doppelganger was actually ignoring the groggy black and white striped fox and launched a sudden attack on Tang Li Xue!
[Light Reflection]!
Tang Li Xue might be thinking deeply, but she was still vigilant toward the Doppelganger.
Just as she sensed the Doppelganger suddenly launched an attack on her with her [Extrasensory Perception], Tang Li Xue knew she could not avoid or block this attack, so she immediately decided to use her defensive skill instead!
[Arcane Barrier]!
(Arcane Barrier: Create a spell shield that reduces the damage taken by half. Duration: 30 Seconds. Cooldown: 20 minutes.)
BBAAAAAAAAAANNGG~!!!
The Doppelganger's [Light Reflection] also struck Tang Li Xue's body heavily until she blasted dozen of meters and crashed onto the mirror wall like a cannonball.
Tang Li Xue slowly got up again while waking up the Phoenix of Pride in her Dantian.
[Perfect Assimilation]!
Tang Li Xue's silver furry figure was shrouded by the deep blue flames in an instant!
Right now, Tang Li Xue realized that this Doppelganger would never let her escape that easily since it already planned to finish them all off in this one hour!
Moreover, both Tang Li Xue and the black-white striped fox did not even have any ability to run away from this Doppelganger at all since it currently has [Merge] skill's double overall stats buff plus [Wings of Freedom] buff right now.
The Doppelganger's current speed was far too much faster than any of them!
Rather than thinking about running away from the Doppelganger, it was much more feasible to fight two against one with this Doppelganger until the last drop of blood!
Tang Li Xue used [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to move closer toward the black and white striped fox and whispered to it: "Are you all right? Can you still fight?"
"I... I am okay... But can we still win against that monster? I don't know what happened, but it suddenly get so much more powerful than before!" The black-white striped fox replied with a pessimistic tone.
Tang Li Xue: "....."
'Well, I am really sorry, okay?! That bast*rd is using my skill to boost itself! No, wait a minute... That is clearly not my fault, right?! How the hell do I know that there is another creature that can copy my divine abilities and skills?!' Tang Li Xue secretly complained in her heart.
"Honestly, I do not think we even have any chance to survive against that monster... Sigh... It is such a pity... I thought I can survive a little longer in this current Fox Hunting Festival..." The black-white striped fox sighed in resignation.
"Hey, hey, hey~! Can you stop being so pessimistic?! Actually, I still have one final last plan. If we succeed, we might have some chance of winning against that monster. How about it? Are you on?" Tang Li Xue confidently muttered to the black-white striped fox.
The black-white striped fox took a glance at Tang Li Xue while frowning suspiciously.
In the black and white striped fox's opinion, Tang Li Xue was actually the weakest among the three of them, so it really did not quite believe that Tang Li Xue could have a way to deal with the current monstrous Doppelganger.
Tang Li Xue rolled her topaz blue eyes when she saw the black-white striped fox's doubtful stare.
Just when Tang Li Xue planned to explain her plan...
The Doppelganger suddenly asked them with a lazy tone while sitting on the floor: "Are you two already done saying your farewell yet? I am starting to get bored... If you are already done, then you two can go die now!"
The Doppelganger slowly stood up, and it immediately disappeared from their view!
[Moonlight Flickering Flash Step]!
Yes, the Doppelganger instantly transformed into Tang Li Xue this time and used her movement skill to swiftly approach the two of them!
[Moonlight Flash]!
The Doppelganger wielded Tang Li Xue's fastest skill against Tang Li Xue herself and the black-white striped fox!
Tang Li Xue hastily condensed a pair of [Sun Dragon Claws] to defend herself, but she did not feel it was enough so she also used [Phoenix Cloak] to cover her body!
While the black-white striped fox was also using its [Shadow Reflection] to turn into a shadow!
BAAAAAAAANNNGGG~!!!
The Doppelganger's [Moonlight Flash] was not only extremely fast but also brutally powerful!
Even Tang Li Xue's [Sun Dragon Claws] and [Phoenix Cloak] were blown away by the Doppelganger's [Moonlight Flash]!
Thankfully, the effect of [Arcane Barrier] was still protecting her body, so she was only lightly injured by the Doppelganger's claws.
'Damn it~! Luckily, it only used [Moonlight Flash]! If it used [Moon Shattering Strike] just now, I might be already gone right now!' Tang Li Xue groaned painfully in her heart.
Tang Li Xue gnashed her fangs in anger as she condensed a [Fire Bomb] from her deep blue Flame of Pride!
But the Doppelganger sneered at Tang Li Xue and transformed back into the black-white striped fox's form.
"Stop it! Don't attack it or you will be a goner!" The black-white striped fox hastily reminded Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue frowned deeply as she dispersed her [Fire Bomb].
But she asked with an unconvinced tone using her [Lock-On Telepathy] skill to the black-white striped fox so the Doppelganger would not be able to overhear their conversation: "Why do you stop me from attacking it?"
"Sigh... Because you already marked by its [Light Reflection] when it attacked you using it before..." The black-white striped fox replied to Tang Li Xue.
This time, the black-white striped fox did not bother to hide the power of its divine abilities and told Tang Li Xue its effect without any reservation.
Apparently, its [Light Reflection] attack divine ability would leave [Light Mark] on the target.
If the target with [Light Mark] launched any attack toward the black-white striped fox, then it activated [Shadow Reflection] to avoid the target's attack, and it would leave [Shadow Mark] on the target.
When the target has both [Light Mark] and [Shadow Mark], the black-white striped fox could activate the extremely powerful [Light and Shadow Reflection] to detonate the target!
If Tang Li Xue was hit by the current monstrous Doppelganger's [Light and Shadow Reflection], she would surely get killed in that instant!
Or... Maybe not, since she still has one more [Sun And Moon Aegis]'s protection from deadly blow...
But Tang Li Xue would have already died twice by the black-white striped fox's [Light and Shadow Reflection] before if not for the [Sun And Moon Aegis]'s protection.
Tang Li Xue gritted her fangs again while complaining in her heart: 'Damn you~! How could you grant it such a troublesome divine ability?! If we lost and got killed by it later, then it must be your fault!'
If the black-white striped fox could hear Tang Li Xue's complaint, it might give her its middle finger and say: 'Do you have no shame?! Whose divine ability do you think made it twice more powerful than before?!'
The Doppelganger clicked its tongue in annoyance when Tang Li Xue canceled her attack and dispersed her [Fire Bomb].
It glared angrily at the black-white striped fox and launched an attack toward the black-white striped fox instead in rage!
[Light Reflection]!
BBBAAAAAAAAANNGG~!!!
The black-white striped fox got struck heavily by the Doppelganger's [Light Reflection], and its body blasted heavily onto the mirror wall again.
Tang Li Xue took a deep breath to calm down and secretly whispered to the black-white striped fox again with her [Lock-On Telepathy]: 'I have an extremely powerful move that might be able to kill this bast*rd, but I need your cooperation.'
The black-white striped fox spurted out several mouthfuls of blood and secretly replied back to Tang Li Xue: 'Cooperation? Do I really have any other choice?! Sigh... Just tell me what I need to do right now?!'
'I need time! Not much... Probably only more or less five minutes! So, you just need to catch its attention so it will always focus on you and ignore me in that five minutes! Can you do it?' Tang Li Xue asked as she used [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to distance herself away from the Doppelganger.
The black-white striped fox hesitated for a few moments since it suspected that Tang Li Xue might want to deceive it and run away alone from the Doppelganger.
But the black-white striped fox could only grit its teeth and chose to believe in Tang Li Xue since they really ran out of options right now.
'Five minutes, right?! It is no problem, but can you really kill it with your move?' The black-white striped fox asked using telepathy with a skeptical tone.
'Do we really have any other choice right now?! We can only try out best, right? At least I can still accept my defeat if my best move still failed to kill this Doppelganger...' Tang Li Xue rolled her eyes and replied.
