Chapter 888: Last Moment!
However, Tang Li Xue immediately felt relieved when she thought that there were two foxes at the True Spirit Beast level here, so they should be able to defeat this ugly monster easily, right?
Tang Li Xue quickly realized something was not right as she saw the despaired expression on Zhu Jun and Zhu Zhenhua's pale faces.
'Err, they should be able to defeat this ugly monster easily, right?' Tang Li Xue asked again with an unsure tone in her mind this time.
"D... Dad, that monster is coming! What should we do now?!" Zhu Zhengua asked in an anxious tone.
Zhu Jun gritted his teeth as cold sweat drenched his forehead and back. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The Secret Realm had already almost collapsed completely, so they definitely did not have any time to waste to fight against the strange creature.
To make it worse, both Zhu Jun and Zhu Zhenhua needed to use their entire power to maintain the unstable space tunnel in order for it to not collapse along with the Secret Realm at least until they reached the other side of the space tunnel.
Not to mention that they also had to lead everyone to pass the space tunnel safely without touching any space fragments or falling into any space cracks.
In short, they really did not have any time or energy to spare to fight against the strange creature!
Tang Li Xue still did not understand that, and she also did not know that both Zhu Jun and Zhu Zhenhua had already been beaten once by the strange creature before.
But she could already faintly guess a few points from their despaired expression after they saw the strange creature.
Tang Li Xue slowed down her step while muttering: "I see... From their expression, they should have already met with that monster before. Since the monster is still alive now, and they look at it so scared like that, it seems the ending should not be that good for them."
Tang Li Xue sighed as she turned around and stood facing the approaching strange creature instead.
"Go quickly~! I will hold that monster here!" Tang Li Xue shouted firmly at Zhu Jun and Zhu Zhenhua without turning her head and looking at them.
"What?! Are you crazy?!" Zhu Zhenhua widened her eyes in disbelief when she heard Tang Li Xue's words.
"Do you know how strong that monster is?! It can even beat both of us easily before!" Zhu Jun told Tang Li Xue in a solemn tone.
"I know, but there is no other way, right?!" Tang Li Xue replied to them as she urged Phoenix of Pride and Yaya to wake up.
'I know both of you are still exhausted, but please help me~!' Tang Li Xue whispered gently to Phoenix of Pride and Yaya.
Yaya sleepily woke up from her slumber, while Phoenix of Pride was also irritatingly risen from its sleep.
Then both of them turned into green light and blue light, then merged into Tang Li Xue's body!
Tang Li Xue finally decided to use her final trump card!
*Ding!
[The user has entered perfect synchronization with Yaya and Phoenix of Pride!]
[Entering War Goddess Mode!]
Moreover, the duration of her [Merge] buff was still not over yet!
In short, Tang Li Xue currently was in [War Goddess Mode] with Yaya and Phoenix of Pride, plus [Merge] skill with her perfect copy!
This was Tang Li Xue's strongest form!
The deep blue flames and golden sun flames shrouded Tang Li Xue's silver furry figure as the beautiful crystal-clear fairy wings grew on her back along with a pair of flame Phoenix Wings.
A silver tiara decorated with many glittering green gems appeared on the top of her furry head making her look more beautiful and noble.
While Zhu Jun was still hesitating while kept staring at Tang Li Xue, Zhu Zhenhua anxiously pulled his hand while saying in a stern tone: "Dad~! We have no more time! We have to go now, or all of us will die here!"
Zhu Jun's body shuddered in helplessness, and he looked much older all of a sudden.
"I am sorry... But thank you very much!" Zhu Jun did not know what to say to Tang Li Xue, so he could only say that to express her gratitude and helplessness.
Tang Li Xue smiled in relief when she saw Zhu Jun and Zhu Zhenhua lead everyone to enter the entrance of the space tunnel together.
But the strange creature had also reached the entrance of the space tunnel!
"Oh, no, you don't~!" Tang Li Xue muttered coldly as she unleashed her attack to prevent the strange creature from getting close to the entrance of the space tunnel!
[Cyclone Storm] plus Flames of Pride and Golden Sun Flames~!
[Critical Strikers]'s weapon skill, [Final Strike]~!
BWOOOOOSSSH~!
Tang Li Xue unleashed a huge pillar of hurricane condensed from countless wind blades combined with extremely high-temperature dual flames!
BOOOOOOOOOM~!!!
The strange creature could not dodge it fast enough since it was still affected by Tang Li Xue's [Celestial Judgment], so it immediately got trapped inside the huge flame cyclone and dragged away by it.
Inside the huge flame cyclone, the strange creature was slashed by countless wind blades and burned by extremely high-temperature dual flames!
Moreover, the strange creature's black fog-like energy was still going out of control and torturing itself instead, so it could not use its black energy to defend itself like before.
Despite that, the strange creature's body was still extremely strong and sturdy.
Even Dual Flames Cyclone Storm strengthened by [Final Strike] could only leave insignificant scars and burns on its strange creature's body.
It only took a few breaths of time for the strange creature to break free from Tang Li Xue's Dual Flames Cyclone Storm!
"GRAAAAWWRR~!" The strange creature no longer paid any attention to the space tunnel as it howled wrathfully at Tang Li Xue.
"That is right. Your opponent is me~!" Tang Li Xue said to the strange creature as she glanced at the entrance of the space tunnel crumbling away after all foxes entered it.
'System, please tell me honestly... Is there a way for me to survive this situation? I mean I still have four Substitute Dolls, so I basically have 5 more lives, right?' Tang Li Xue tried to ask her System nervously when the strange creature charged angrily toward her.
Most of the Secret Realm already collapsed leaving only a few areas around them, so there was not much place for Tang Li Xue to move around.
When Tang Li Xue tried her best to keep her distance from the strange creature with the combination of her [Wind Burst Step], [Breezing Step], and [Wind Guardian Blessing], her System gave a reply to her.
[Once this Secret Realm completely collapses, the chance of Host dying is 100%. Even if Host has a hundred or even a thousand Substitute Dolls, it would not change the outcome.]
'System, how could you be so cold to me~?! I mean I am a good host, right? If I am dying, there is no guarantee that you can find a kinder, better, and more beautiful Host than me, so can you please lend me something that can help me survive? Something like Anywhere Door or Time Machine?' Tang Li Xue begged her System pitifully.
[Borrowing or owing anything is completely prohibited, and it would never be allowed even in the future.]
RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~!
CRACK~! CRACK~! CRACK~! CRACK~!
The entire Secret Realm shook greatly as it began to flip upside down!
It was as if the Secret Realm was sinking deeper into the Void Space before it would be completely disintegrated!
The ground under their feet which was filled with cracks began to split apart!
Even the strange creature that kept chasing after Tang Li Xue almost fell into one of the splitting cracks, but it actually grabbed into one of Tang Li Xue's tails!
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue grabbed one of the intact protruding rocks tightly as if her life depended on it.
"Damn it~! Is this really the end for me?! No, I cannot die here! Lucia, Little Loki, and Yaya are still with me! If I died here, they would also die with me!" Tang Li Xue blurted in a tone filled with unwillingness.
The strange creature slowly climbed up from Tang Li Xue's tail, but Tang Li Xue glared at it coldly while saying: "Just go and die already, you damn persistent bast*rd~!"
[Vacuum Slash]~!
But Tang Li Xue knew that her [Vacuum Slash] should not be able to kill the strange creature, so her target this time was her own tail instead!
PUUUUFF~!
After Tang Li Xue cut her own tail with [Vacuum Slash], the strange creature finally fell into the deep crack and disappeared from Tang Li Xue's view.
Even though she was still in a despaired situation, Tang Li Xue somehow felt extremely relieved after she managed to get rid of the strange creature.
Then Tang Li Xue canceled her [War Goddess Mode] before she hastily put Lucia, Yaya, Little Loki, and Phoenix of Pride into her System's Pet Space.
After a few moments, the protruding rocks... or to be exact the entire ground shattered and even the sky was crumbling away!
With this, the entire Secret Realm had finally completely collapsed!
Tang Li Xue could only close her topaz blue eyes in sorrow and despair as she fell into Void Space along with the space fragments of the shattered Secret Realm.
But before Tang Li Xue could completely be submerged into the Void Space, her System said its last goodbye to her, but strangely, Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes were shining in hope instead.
