nTang Li Xue tried to pull her paw harder in panic, but she still could not pull it out from the wood-controlling fox's chest because several rattan vines had already ensnared her paw too tightly.

nThose rattan vines even spread toward her elbow as if they wanted to swallow her whole body!

n

"You stupid~! Use your flames to burn her~!

" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy hastily reminded her.

nSurprisingly, her perfect copy was actually much calmer than the real Tang Li Xue in this dire situation, so she could think of a quick solution for their problem in a split second.

nTang Li Xue gritted her fangs to clear her mind as she used her deep blue flame of pride to burn the wood-controlling fox!

nBWOOOOSH~!

nThe wood-controlling fox's entire body instantly lit in the deep blue flames!

nEven though the power of the deep blue flame of pride was much weaker without Tang Li Xue entering Perfect Assimilation mode with the Phoenix of Pride, but it should be more than enough to burn the wood-controlling fox's entire body to nothingness in only a few dozens of seconds!

nTang Li Xue and her perfect copy swiftly jumped back at the same time to keep their distance from the burning wood-controlling fox since it was not impossible that the dying wood-controlling fox suddenly burst out her last strength and dragged both of them to die with her.

nAfter the extremely hot deep blue flame of pride completely burned the wood-controlling fox's entire body to nothingness, both Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy finally sighed in relief.

nHowever, both Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy immediately realized that something was not right.

nThe gigantic crimson flowers were actually still fighting fiercely against Little Loki right now!

nIf they really had already killed the wood-controlling fox, those gigantic vines and crimson flowers should have not been able to move around or attack anyone anymore since there should be no one controlling them anymore!

nSo, Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy stared at each other with solemn expressions as they concluded that the wood-controlling fox was still alive!

nClap~! Clap~! Clap~! Clap~!

nTang Li Xue and her perfect copy turned around and saw another wood-controlling fox emerge from the gigantic vine and clapped her paws at them while sitting leisurely and showing an amusing smile on her face.

n

"You guys are not bad at all~! As I expected from the fox who could survive until this far~! Unfortunately, that is still far from enough to defeat me as one of the most powerful foxes handpicked directly by the Apex Predator Fox~!

" The wood-controlling fox playfully praised Tang Li Xue and boasted about herself again.

nAt this time, Tang Li Xue suddenly remembered the previous scene when several Nascent Soul Stage experts from the Imperial side were having a lot of trouble dealing with tens of the wood-controlling fox clones near the south gate of the Imperial City.

nTang Li Xue felt quite strange when she saw that scene before.

nHow could those several Nascent Soul Stage experts have difficulties just to deal with the wood-controlling fox's clones?!

nRight now, she finally tasted what those Nascent Soul Stage experts felt at that time...

n

"Did you really think you were the only one who had clone skills?! I have it too~! Let us see which one is more powerful~!

" The wood-controlling fox said as a dozen other identical wood-controlling foxes emerged from the gigantic vines.

nThe expression of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy turned pale when she muttered to the real Tang Li Xue:

"Uhhh... This is clearly not looking good at all for us. Do you still have any other ideas to defeat her?

"

nTang Li Xue thought seriously for a few seconds before she patted her perfect copy's shoulder while hugging the treasure box tighter and said through their mental connection:

"I am counting on you to stall some time for me and Little Loki to escape from here~!

"

nThe perfect copy rolled her topaz blue eyes disdainfully, but she also knew that they might almost have no chance to win against these more than a dozen wood-controlling foxes.

nThey already faced so much trouble defeating one wood-controlling fox before, so how could they stand a chance against these more than a dozen wood-controlling foxes?!

nBut after thinking for a while, the perfect copy immediately replied:

"Hey, don't tell me you really think I can face these dozen despicable foxes and those scary crimson flowers alone?! I would certainly get stomped to death by them in only a few breaths!

"

nBefore Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy could think even further about their next plan, those dozen wood-controlling foxes had already dashed toward them from all directions!

n

"Damn it~!

" Tang Li Xue cursed in anger as she summoned out her martial soul, Golden Winged Serpent, to help them face these dozen wood-controlling foxes!

nROOOOOAAAARRRR~!

nSince the strength of Golden Winged Serpent was a bit too low at this moment, Tang Li Xue decided to let it merge with her instead.

nThe Golden Winged Serpent who danced in the sky transformed into a golden light and merged with Tang Li Xue's paws as it turned into a pair of golden gauntlets.

nSummon Rain~!

nTang Li Xue activated her Golden Winged Serpent's exclusive skill without any hesitation.

nEven though water elemental was quite useless against wood, but the Golden Winged Serpent's passive skill, High Water Affinity, would be activated as long as there was a lot of water around it.

nBANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~!

nTang Li Xue's overall stats were boosted again by High Water Affinity, and she easily traded several heavy blows against those dozen wood-controlling foxes at once without falling behind at all!

n

"Err, just to remind you... Is it bad for you to do this? You should already know that only fire attacks could hurt them, right?

" Her perfect copy asked Tang Li Xue with a doubtful tone.

n

"Then do you have any other idea~?! Without the stat boost from High Water Affinity and Wind God's Eyes's prediction, they would have already beat me up so badly like a punching bag right now!

" Tang Li Xue angrily replied.

n

"Wow, you are pretty strong~! Then what if I add ten more?

" One of the wood-controlling fox's clones said while sneering at Tang Li Xue.

nAnother ten wood-controlling foxes suddenly emerged again from the gigantic vines. Added with the previous clones, there were around two dozen wood-controlling fox clones in total right now!

nTang Li Xue instantly turned around and flew as fast as she could from there!

nWhat a joke! She could barely hang on against more than a dozen wood-controlling fox clones before, so how could she stand a chance against two dozen wood-controlling fox clones?!

n

"Damn you~! How could you leave me alone here?!

" The perfect copy shouted in anger as she quickly followed Tang Li Xue from behind. Because the duration of her Wings of Freedom buff was not over yet, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy could still fly freely on the air right now.

n

"Little Loki~!

" Tang Li Xue hastily called Little Loki.

nLittle Loki swiftly used its Instant Teleportation and suddenly appeared on top of Tang Li Xue's head.

nTang Li Xue swiftly flew away from there as fast as she could as she planned to just run away from the wood-controlling fox.

nRUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!

nBut before they could run far, countless vines suddenly grew rapidly from the ground!

nThen they weaved with each other and covered the entire area in the form of a huge dome!

n

"Hehehehehe... Do you think you can run away from me just like that?! There is no way you can escape from my grasp with your meager strength!

" All the wood-controlling fox clones said in unison while laughing mockingly at Tang Li Xue.

n

"Now what~?! Do any of you have any other idea to face that annoying bast*rd or some way to escape from here?

" Tang Li Xue asked her perfect copy and Little Loki.

n

"What a spectacular sight~! This could already be called pseudo-domain, right?

" The perfect copy muttered in awe as she looked at the enormous wooden dome.

nTang Li Xue scolded impatiently:

"This is not the time for us to admire our opponent's ability, so keep your focus on thinking about how to get out of this dire situation!

"

n

"All right, I get it~! How about trying to burn that wooden wall with your flames? At least, try to create a hole in it, so we can escape through it. I will try to negotiate with her to buy some time for you to do it.

" The perfect copy gave her a suggestion.

n

"Sigh... I hope it really works!

" Tang Li Xue nodded her head in agreement.

nThe perfect copy turned to face the wood-controlling fox clones and said with a flattering smile on her face:

"Hello, Miss beautiful and kind fox~! You are so powerful, and we are really nothing compared to you. Please accept our treasure box~! But can you please spare us and let us go?

"
