821 Chapter 821: Last Hurdle!
Ten Little Lokis surrounded the beautiful lady in the fancy red dress from all directions, and they began to bombard her with [Scythe Claw Qi] from more than ten meters away!
However, the beautiful lady in the fancy red dress only swung her hand to disperse all of [Scythe Claw Qi] that flew at her!
Then the beautiful lady in the fancy red dress threw a swift spear hand thrust toward the perfect copy's throat who was still lying down dizzily on the floor!
BAAAAANG~!
*Ding!
[(Sun And Moon Aegis) resisted a deadly blow for your perfect copy! (2/3)]
Tang Li Xue gnashed her pearl-white teeth in rage as she immediately shouted to her perfect copy through their mind connection: "What are you doing, you idiot?! Get away from that scary woman quickly so I can [Swap] with you to take Little Loki away from that place!"
Yes, Tang Li Xue could actually un-summon her perfect copy, but Little Loki would be left behind alone to face that beautiful lady in the fancy red dress.
But she clearly did not want to get tortured by the beautiful lady in the fancy red dress as soon as she used [Swap] to exchange location with her perfect copy, so she could only hope that her perfect copy could at least keep her distance from that red-dressed lady first.
After the beautiful lady in the fancy red dress realized that her spear hand thrust failed to finish off Tang Li Xue's perfect copy, she planned to throw a more lethal attack toward Tang Li Xue's perfect copy, but Little Loki clearly would not let her do it without doing anything.
Nine Little Loki's [Phantom Splitter] Clones activated [Instant Teleportation] to appear right above the beautiful lady in the fancy red dress!
[Flash and Slash] plus [Scythe Claw Qi]~!
The beautiful lady finally put on her battle stance as she made circular movements with her hands.
[Shadow Crane Palm]~!
The beautiful lady did not only dispel nine Little Lokis' [Flash and Slash] plus [Scythe Claw Qi] easily but all nine Little Lokis exploded into clumps of black smoke by the energy shooting from the beautiful lady's palm!
However, the real Little Loki was not among them!
The real Little Loki had actually appeared right below the beautiful lady's feet!
[Heaven's Devour]~!
Little Loki opened its tiny mouth widely when the terrifying suction power emerged as if there was a small black hole inside its tiny mouth!
Who knew that the beautiful lady in the fancy red dress was completely unaffected, and she still stood steadily right in front of Little Loki as if her feet were stuck and rooted onto the ground?!
The beautiful lady in the fancy red dress used her palm technique again to chop at Little Loki's tiny furry head!
But the real Tang Li Xue had already used her [Swap] skill to exchange location with her perfect copy just one moment ago!
The real Tang Li Xue swiftly grabbed Little Loki and put Little Loki into the space in her Dantian before she activated her [Swap] skill for the second time to exchange location with her perfect copy again!
BOOOOOOM~!
*Ding!
[(Sun And Moon Aegis) resisted a deadly blow for your perfect copy! (1/3)]
As a result, it was Tang Li Xue's perfect copy who received another lethal palm attack from the beautiful lady in the fancy red dress until she was thrown off violently dozens of meters and crashed onto the wall heavily!
Tang Li Xue hastily used her [Twin Moons] divine ability to un-summon her perfect copy, so the beautiful lady in the fancy red dress would no longer be able to attack her perfect copy again.
When Tang Li Xue re-summoned her perfect copy again to her side with her [Twin Moons] divine ability, her perfect copy immediately complained in a miserable tone: "Why are you un-summon me so slow?! That lady is so scary! if not for [Sun And Moon Aegis]'s deadly blow protections, she would have already killed me twice!"
But Tang Li Xue immediately waved her hand to stop her perfect copy's chatter and said in a solemn expression: "All right, stop complaining! That scary woman can wander freely around this Medicine Garden Palace is clearly bad news for us.
"I even suspect that scary woman might have some way to detect our location. That might be the reason why she went down to the basement just now. We better split up and move to the second floor as quickly as possible right now." Tang Li Xue told her worst guess to her perfect copy and the others.
They were actually in a much worse situation at this moment since both Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy only had one [Sun And Moon Aegis]'s deadly blow protection left.
They clearly did not want to bump into the beautiful lady in the fancy red dress for the third time, so they had to move quickly to the second floor and find the location of the treasures with the star energy as soon as possible before that lady could catch up to them.
Tang Li Xue did not forget to release Little Loki from the space in her Dantian.
Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy split up again, so they could find the stairs headed to the second floor faster.
Just like before, Tang Li Xue teamed up with Yaya, while her perfect copy teamed up with Little Loki.
Since the dried corpses and the beautiful lady in the fancy red dress could still sense or detect them even after they activated their [Ethereal Form] and [Art of Concealment], Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy did not bother to waste their energy to activate them anymore.
Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy just forcefully mowed down all of the dried corpses that were blocking and attacking them on their way.
This time, their luck was quite good because they immediately found the stairs heading to the second floor in only a few minutes.
The second floor's layout was actually much simpler than the basement and the first floor.
Tang Li Xue immediately understood the purpose of every floor after she explored them carefully until now.
The basement had many training rooms and a huge closed space for Closed Door Meditation or Closed Door Cultivation, so the main purpose should be for practicing.
The first floor had many rooms with a big courtyard which were used for planting precious plants or elixirs, so the main purpose should be for farming.
The second floor had many miscellaneous rooms such as the library, canteen, kitchen, alchemy room, and so on.
Compared to the basement and the first floor, Tang Li Xue had a hunch that there should be a much higher chance for the location of the treasure room to be on this second floor.
Strangely, the number of dried corpses on the second floor was actually much sparse compared to the basement and the first floor.
Tang Li Xue frowned deeply when she realized it.
Any strangeness should have a reasonable cause.
Even the first floor where the scary woman in the red dress resides did not have any strangeness like this second floor.
Unless there was something even more powerful than the scary woman in the red dress residing on this second floor...
Cold sweat soaked Tang Li Xue's back and forehead when she thought about it, but she quickly shook her head to push away any distracting thought.
"I can only pray that I am worrying too much about it." Tang Li Xue murmured in a solemn tone.
"Yaayaa~!" Yaya patted Tang Li Xue's cheek with a worried tone when she saw Tang Li Xue's pale expression.
"Don't worry, Yaya~! I am all right." Tang Li Xue caressed Yaya's little head gently while replying in a reassuring tone.
Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue's prayer was bound to be unfulfilled...
After exploring the second floor for more than a quarter of an hour with her perfect copy while cleaning the dried corpses they had met on their way, Tang Li Xue finally almost reached the location of the treasure that was shown on the [Treasure Map].
When Tang Li Xue almost turned at the intersection, she immediately stepped back and hid behind the wall.
"Ya?" Yaya tilted her head cutely and asked Tang Li Xue.
"Shhh~!" Tang Li Xue put her slender finger on her pink lips and signaled Yaya to be quiet.
Then both Tang Li Xue and Yaya slowly peeked from the intersection.
They actually saw an old man with a long beard sitting cross-
legged in front of the double bronze gates.
There was a silver sword on the old man's thigh. The silver sword was shiny and look very extraordinary.
Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes felt as if they got pricked when she observed the silver sword on the old man's thigh.
But thanks to her sharp sight, Tang Li Xue managed to read the words carved on the silver sword's surface as she muttered unconsciously: "Heaven Edge Sword?"
Tang Li Xue pulled her head back and hid behind the wall at the intersection.
She squatted on the floor while rubbing her forehead in sorrow.
"Sigh, whether that old man or his Sword... Both of them sound like a big trouble for us. Alas, we are only one step away from the treasure room~!" Tang Li Xue lamented in great frustration.
