828 Chapter 828: According To Plan!
When Tang Li Xue spotted the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] from afar, she deliberately decreased her speed and pretended to look exhausted in order to let the old man and the scary woman slowly catch up to her.
Who knew that the old man and the scary woman immediately launched an attack on her from behind just as they managed to get a bit closer to her?!
The scary woman in the fancy red dress condensed dozens of whips from her black energy and controlled them to flog Tang Li Xue, so her dozens of whips could tie Tang Li Xue and drag Tang Li Xue toward her.
While the silver Heaven Edge Sword in the old man's grasp flickered as he slashed it several times at Tang Li Xue, and several sharp sword energies shot swiftly toward Tang Li Xue from behind!
"Damn it, the distance is still a bit too far, but it seems I have no other choice right now~! Be prepared, our plan has begun now~!" Tang Li Xue groaned in frustration as she instructed to her perfect copy.
Just before their attacks could hit Tang Li Xue, she already unleashed her [Stellar Banishment] to temporarily banish herself to the empty starry sky leaving only a ball of dazzling light in her place!
The attacks from the old man and the scary woman were completely missed since Tang Li Xue was essentially no longer there at this moment.
But both the old man and the scary woman were not stupid. They already understood the effect of [Stellar Banishment] was only temporary, and Tang Li Xue would come back there in a few more seconds after the ball of dazzling light dissipated.
After fighting each other fiercely until this point, both the old man and the scary woman knew that they could not kill each other in a short time, so they decided to kill Tang Li Xue first right now.
"WEEENGGG~!"
The silver Heaven Edge Sword in the old man's grasp let out a loud ringing sound as he began accumulating his sword energy, while the scary woman compressed her black energy to form a pitch-black javelin!
When the effect of [Stellar Banishment] wore off and the ball of dazzling light dissipated, Tang Li Xue instantly returned back to the place where the ball of dazzling light appeared before!
The old man unleashed all of the sword energy he had accumulated by slashing his silver Heaven Edge Sword, while the pitch-black javelin compressed from extremely dense black energy by the scary woman in the fancy red dress flew swiftly toward Tang Li Xue!
"Now~!" After Tang Li Xue came back from the temporary banishment, she instantly activated the [Swap] skill to exchange her location with her perfect copy!
"Damn you, why the heck do you always let me take the most dangerous and scary part?!' Tang Li Xue's perfect copy shouted angrily as she activated [Sun And Moon Aegis]'s absolute protection buff without any hesitation!
(Sun And Moon Protection: Grant invulnerability for 2 seconds.)
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM~!
Thanks to 2 seconds of invulnerability buff, the extremely powerful attacks from the old man and the scary woman failed to kill Tang Li Xue's perfect copy!
On the contrary, their extremely powerful attacks propelled Tang Li Xue's perfect copy forward toward the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] with breakneck speed like a cannonball but the speed was many times than any cannonball!
A humanoid face emerged again on the trunk of the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] as it watched Tang Li Xue's perfect copy flying very swiftly toward it!
"ROOOOOOONG~!"
This time, it looked even more annoyed than before, and it let out an earth-shattering angry sound even louder than before!
But Tang Li Xue's perfect copy remained completely unaffected by it since the 2 seconds of invulnerability buff was not up yet.
Meanwhile, the real Tang Li Xue stared nervously at the old man and the scary woman.
At first, she planned to lead the two of them into the radius of [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] before she executed this plan.
Unfortunately, her plan clearly could not keep up with the change, so she was forced to execute her plan earlier before she could bring the old man and the scary woman closer enough to the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree].
However, Tang Li Xue really hoped that the old man and the scary woman would not get intimidated by the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree], and they would still madly chase after her perfect copy until the end.
Only when the old man and the scary woman could make the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] busy for a while that she would have a chance to steal the Radiant Star Fruits from it.
But Tang Li Xue clearly thought too much about the old man and the scary woman...
If the old man and the scary woman could still think clearly, they would not be fighting against each other since they were definitely the cultivators on duty in this Medicine Garden Palace before they somehow turned into living corpses like now.
They only were following their lingering instinct, so how could they feel any fear or intimidated by the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree]?!
Both the old man and the scary woman were madly chasing after Tang Li Xue's perfect copy again when they saw that she was still alive even after she received their extremely powerful attacks!
"Great~! What a pair of good guys... err, I mean a pair of good corpses? Whatever... Anyway, my turn will come soon. Little Loki, I will be counting on you later, okay?!" Tang Li Xue excitedly said before encouraging Little Loki still in its Battle Form and patted its big scaly tiger-like head.
"GROWL~! ("Leave it to me~!")
Little Loki replied while snuggling its head at Tang Li Xue's chest.
Tang Li Xue nodded and smiled at Little Loki, then she put Little Loki into the Windy Mountain space in her Dantian.
When the old man and the scary woman entered the radius of the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree]'s attack, the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] immediately activated its overwhelming crushing pressure!
The sprinting speed of the old man and the scary woman instantly slowed down a lot when every step they took was as heavy as a mountain and left a deep footprint on the ground.
But Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was mercilessly pressed onto the ground by the overwhelming crushing pressure, and she could no longer move even a bit!
The real Tang Li Xue hastily activated her [Swap] skill to exchange her location with her perfect copy!
As a result, it was the real Tang Li Xue who got pressed helplessly onto the ground by the overwhelming crushing pressure instead right now.
But she did not panic at all because everything was still within her calculation so far!
The mysterious eye between Tang Li Xue's eyebrows was opened at this moment!
The mysterious eye was shining with ethereal mysterious light falling onto the eyes of the humanoid face on the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree]'s trunk!
Regalia of Eclipse… [Eclipse of Desire]!
([Eclipse of Desire]: locks the target's mind and soul within their own desire making them unable to return to reality.)
(The power of this ability depends on the user's Spirit stat and the opponent's Spirit stat. The duration of this power depends on the target's attachment to their desire.)
The scene in front of the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree]'s eyes was faded away and replaced by an ethereal eclipse.
The overwhelming crushing pressure instantly disappeared as the humanoid face on [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] turned blank and soulless.
Tang Li Xue did not dare to relax at all even after she saw her [Regalia of Desire] had worked on the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree]!
Tang Li Xue knew that it was impossible for the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree]'s Spirit stat to be lower than her.
On the contrary, its Spirit Stat might be many times higher than her Spirit Stat, and her [Regalia of Desire] could work only because she managed to catch it off guard.
In short, her [Regalia of Desire] would definitely [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree]
She hastily took this chance to sprint closer toward the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] at her full speed while releasing Little Loki from her Dantian's space!
Both the old man and the scary woman were also no longer affected by the overwhelming heavy pressure, so they quickly ran closer toward the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] too.
Both of them were so angry that they planned to tear apart Tang Li Xue and the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree] together!
Just when those four almost reached the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree], it actually managed to break out from the effect of Tang Li Xue's [Regalia of Desire]!
Not only the heavy pressure was pressing back at them, but the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree]'s thick roots had begun to move out from the ground and attack them!
"Little Loki, it is your turn~!" Tang Li Xue urged in an anxious tone.
Little Loki in its Battle Form immediately used its [Heaven's Devour]!
In that instant, the [Star Gathering Bodhi Tree]'s extremely powerful aura which caused the overwhelming heavy pressure was sucked by Little Loki's [Heaven's Devour]!
Tang Li Xue sighed in relief when the heavy pressure pressing at her body disappeared again thanks to Little Loki's [Heaven's Devour]!
The old man and the scary woman were not so lucky since they were still a bit far from Little Loki's position, so the overwhelming heavy pressure was still affecting them!
However, both the old man and the scary woman were much more powerful than Tang Li Xue, so they only got slowed down and not helplessly pressed onto the ground disgracefully like Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy before.
