Lu Xingchen actually wanted to protect Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy from the army of the living skeletons.

Unfortunately, there were too many living skeletons attacking him from all sides that Lu Xingchen also had a hard time defending himself, so how could he have time to help Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy?!

CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—!

Lu Xingchen annoyedly unleashed dozens of sword energy slashes in a blink of an eye to chop down the living skeletons that attacked him!

Just when Lu Xingchen hastily turned around to help Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, he saw that Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy was currently fighting valiantly against the army of the living skeletons with a sword!

"So, Junior Sister Li can also fight using a sword?!" Lu Xingchen exclaimed in surprise because this was the first time he had seen Tang Li Xue fighting with a sword.

Lu Xingchen smiled satisfiedly since he thought that a girl he liked was also a swordsman like him.

Lu Xingchen kept releasing rapid energy sword slashes to cut down all the living skeletons that were charging toward him while moving closer to Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, so they could face the overwhelming number of living skeletons together.

[Supreme Speed Sword Style], Rapid Quick Slashes—!

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy split into more than a dozen afterimages as she moved around at high speed and rapidly slashed the slender white sword in her grasp!

The slender white sword that emitted an extremely high temperature easily cut down dozens of living skeletons, who were coming at Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy from all directions!

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy took a deep breath as she helplessly watched the sea of the living skeletons.

The army in full black armor that was fighting in a neat battle formation was undoubtedly extremely strong, with the strength equal to the late Spirit Transformation Realm, who had at least mastered two Profound Laws.

Unfortunately, the total number of the army in full black armor was only 100,000 or so, while the army of living skeletons might reach dozens of millions or even maybe more than a hundred million.

At this rate, the army in full black armor, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, and Lu Xingchen would definitely be exhausted to death first before they could eliminate all the living skeletons!

"Meeeoow nyaoow~!" Little Loki, who was yawning lazily on the perfect copy’s shoulder, suddenly meowed to tell something to Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy.

In short, Little Loki was saying something like: "Stop wasting our time and energy fighting meaninglessly against these trashes! All of them are just a part of an illusion created from the incomplete killing formation fragment! The proof is that I cannot even get any soul crystal from them."

"They are all just an illusion? Really?" Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy asked in a sceptical tone.

Even though Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy did not have the [Huang Family Heirloom Ring] that could grant her immunity to all illusions, like her real self, but she still had [High-Resistance to Illusion].

Not to mention that the ancient killing formation was already shattered for so many years, and only a small fragment of it was accidentally triggered by Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy.

It should not be that easy for her to fall into an illusion created by only an incomplete killing formation fragment, right?

Little Loki rolled its eyes disdainfully as it explained it clearly to Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy.

Little Loki clarified that this ancient battlefield was only an illusion, but the danger was real.

It was the fragment of killing formation that perfectly blended the illusion and killing intent into one, so it could trap and kill all the enemies.

To sum it up, if Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and Lu Xingchen were injured or even killed in this illusion, they would also be injured and die for real!

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy shuddered slightly in fright.

"Holy crap—! What a vicious killing formation! Then how do we get out of here?" Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy asked as dozens of living skeletons were already charging toward her from all sides!

[Sword Art of Mystic Harmony], Redirection Flow—!

CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—!

The slender white sword in the perfect copy’s grasp was dancing swiftly to redirect all the attacks launched by the dozens of living skeletons, like redirecting the flowing water!

Then Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy twisted her slender waist and swung her white sword widely!

[Crescent Moon Cleave]—!

BAAANG—!

A silvery light in the shape of a crescent moon was expanding and cut off all the living skeletons around Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy at once!

After Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and Lu Xingchen took down so many living skeletons that they could no longer count them, the countless living skeleton fragments from the shattered living skeletons that were scattered around the battlefield suddenly moved and sucked into one single spot!

"Damn it! Things just got worse!" Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy gritted her pearl-white teeth and complained in annoyance.

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy finally recalled how the broken skeletons had merged into a powerful giant dragon skeleton when she faced them with Xi’er, Yaya, and Lucia before!

Not to mention that the current number of the defeated living skeletons in this battlefield was many times greater compared to when Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, Xi’er, Yaya, and Lucia faced previously at that time!

Just like what Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy had expected, the countless broken skeletons actually merged into a nine-headed giant dragon skeleton!

This gigantic nine-headed giant dragon skeleton was actually many times bigger than the giant dragon skeleton that Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy had faced before!

The giant dragon skeleton that was defeated with great difficulty by the perfect copy’s team might not be as tall as half of this nine-headed giant dragon skeleton’s calf!

"ROOOOOOAAAAAARR—!"

The nine-headed giant dragon skeleton let out an earth-shattering roar, which created a violent rolling shockwave that swept the army in full black armor and scattered their neat battle formation!

Even Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and Lu Xingchen were affected and were thrown dozens of meters away until they crashed hard into the army of living skeletons!

The army of living skeletons would let this chance go and thrust their claws and weapons toward Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and Lu Xingchen, who did not even have time to stand up!

[Moonlight Flickering Dance Step] plus [Paragon Flame Sword]—!

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy executed [Moonlight Flickering Dance Step] to barely dodge all of their attacks and launched [Paragon Flame Sword] to counterattack them!

The slender white sword in the perfect copy’s grasp was wrapped in the compressed Golden Sun Flame!

Her spiritual energy, vitality energy, and soul energy poured into the slender white sword!

When Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy swung her slender white sword, a devastatingly powerful crescent-shaped flame slash dyed in golden colors was unleashed!

BWOOOOSH—!

The [Paragon Flame Sword]’s slash not only managed to slice all the living skeletons around Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, but also burned them into nothingness!

Her [Paragon Flame Sword] had clearly become many times more powerful compared to before, especially when combined with the sword created from several powers.

Unfortunately, the energy consumption had also increased exponentially, so it was clearly not a casual skill that she could spam to her heart’s content.

But overall, Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy was still very satisfied with the power of this [Paragon Flame Sword].

Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy glanced at Lu Xingchen and found that he was also fine.

No, it could be said that he was actually in a much better situation than hers since his swordsmanship was countless times better than hers.

"Uh, Little Loki... Can you help us find a way out of this illusion? I really do not want to face that... nine-headed big monster." Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy muttered to Little Loki.

Little Loki frowned deeply and pondered for a few moments before nodding to Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, which meant: ’I will try, but I cannot guarantee that I will definitely be able to find a way out of this illusion.’

If it were a completely intact ancient killing formation, Little Loki thought it should be able to forcefully break out from it by relying on its [Heaven’s Devour], but this incomplete killing formation fragment was a different story.

Little Loki could not even sense or find the formation core or the formation’s engraved patterns!

Little Loki jumped down from the perfect copy’s shoulder and disappeared to carry out the task to find the way out of this illusion!

RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—! RUMBLE—!

BOOOOOOOM—!!!

Meanwhile, the nine-headed giant dragon skeleton opened their nine jaws and shot the nine huge, destructive black beams condensed from death energy!

Seven of them were aimed at the army in full black armor, while the other two were aimed at Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy and Lu Xingchen!

"Watch out—!" Lu Xingchen shouted to warn Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy!

But Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy already sensed the incoming great danger beforehand, so she already cast [Void Shrinking Step] ahead of time!

BAAAAANG—!

Just as one of the huge, destructive black beams almost hit Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy, her slender, graceful figure suddenly disappeared and instantly appeared hundreds of meters away!

The nine-headed giant dragon skeleton still refused to give up as the destructive black beam moved and chased after Tang Li Xue’s perfect copy!
