Chapter 159 - The Ambush
When the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen arrived, she witnessed the elders of the Black Lake Sect killing members of her species.
She was absolutely infuriated as she saw these three 5 Star Warriors actually attack little foxes who were merely at the 2 Star Rank.
Naturally, she didn't stop to think for a second that it was probably her fault to have launched an attack on the humans.
The only thing she could see was the humans' heinous acts. In her eyes, she was in the right while the humans were in the wrong.
The other party's thoughts didn't matter to her at all.
Thus, she immediately shot out a dense Ice Beam at the three elders.
The three elders possessing the 5 Star Rank immediately sensed an attack and turned around to see an Ice Beam heading their way.
The two elders on the side moved immediately and guarded the one in the middle by forming a barrier.
However, the Ice Beam shot out by the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen was quite intense and it quickly froze their barrier and broke it.
Before the Ice Beam could strike the elder in the middle, the man had already dodged to the side.
The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen snorted in displeasure as she charged at the three elders.
The three elders immediately split up to attack this Frozen Spirit Fox Queen from different directions.
The one who chose to meet this Frozen Spirit Fox Queen was quite confident in his physique.
He was also one of the rare cultivators from the Black Lake Sect who possessed the Flame Element.
The other two elders possessed the Water and the Wind Element.
The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen attacked one of the elders with an Ice Claw. The elder chose to meet that attack with his Sword that was blazing with hot flames.
Once the Ice Claw and the Flaming Sword clashed, an intense shockwave occurred that sent the two in opposite directions.
The other two elders were ready at this moment. They immediately launched their attacks at the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen.
"Water-Wind Fusion Technique: Razor Whirlpool."
Immediately, water was created around Frozen Spirit Fox Queen that covered her body completely.
Sharp Wind Blades were launched at that Whirlpool and instead of halting the momentum of those Wind Blades, the water accelerated their speed even further.
As the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen's body was submerged in the water, she felt some blades strike her body.
These blades continued to strike her body until she felt that she had begun to bleed. This made her absolutely furious!
She let out a loud howl and completely activated her bloodline.
The mark on the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen's forehead was glowing brightly. The Whirlpool in which she was trapped immediately began to freeze as her aura overpowered the elders' aura.
When the elders saw the mark glowing on the forehead of the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen, they were surprised. And soon, a smile appeared on their face.
They were quite excited because they knew that this Frozen Spirit Fox Queen possessed a trace of the Royal Bloodline of the Fox.
Using her blood, they could strengthen and even stimulate their bloodlines! Her essence blood would be an invaluable treasure for the Black Lake Sect.
They had forgotten, however, that since Frozen Spirit Fox Queen had activated her bloodline, she was far stronger than before.
The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen immediately attacked them without showing a hint of mercy.
Firstly, she closed the distance between herself and the elder possessing the Flame Element.
Even though the elder managed to barely react to her speed and block her Ice Claw, he still slid back by several meters.
The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen immediately swiped her tails and struck his gut. Her tails were as sharp as Ice Blades right now as they pierced his stomach.
Suddenly, the elder who had his gut pierced by the Icy Twin Tails immediately grabbed hold of her tails. He shouted to his comrades, "Attack now!"
His comrades immediately launched their respective attacks.
One of them launched triple wind blades at the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen while the other launched an intense torrent of water.
The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen didn't even move as both the attacks actually froze as they neared her body.
The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen then controlled her tails to raise the Flame Elder's body in the air and then threw him towards the Elder possessing the Wind Element.
Meanwhile, she moved towards the elder possessing the water element.
Before she could attack the elder possessing the water element, her body sensed a strong heat from behind her.
Immediately, she jumped in the opposite direction before turning her head to see that elder with the flame element was now facing her with a determined look.
The wounds on his guts had been seared with flames.
Suddenly, a strong gust struck the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen's body and she slid back. On the other side, the elder possessing the water element had already launched a stream of hot water at her.
And the last remaining flame elder recovered a bit of his energy and joined them by launching a giant fireball at the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen.
The Frozen Spirit Fox Queen let out her Ice Beam towards that giant fireball while ignoring the stream and the wind gusts.
Although they were hurting her, she knew that these Flames were the ones that possessed the greatest danger to her.
The fight continued for nearly half an hour before the result was concluded. Naturally, the Black Lake Sect won this battle.
However, this victory wasn't without its fair share of losses.
Out of the three elders, only the Flame Elder. It was his attack that had ultimately killed the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen.
In reality, the three elders were completely suppressed by the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen after she utilized her Bloodline.
It was only when she showed signs of exhaustion due to the continuous usage of her bloodline did they have a chance of resisting her.
When the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen realized that she was about to die, she tried to take the three elders along with her.
Thus, she used a sacrificial technique that turned the surroundings quite cold and even frozen the blood of the two elders.
The flame elder managed to survive because of his element. He then used that opportunity when the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen was immobile to launch a Flame Blast at her.
With this, he managed to kill the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen. After killing the Frozen Spirit Fox Queen, he felt his body fall on the ground because of the hidden injuries and exhaustion.
Once the Fox Race came to know that their queen was dead, they retreated. They knew that they had no chance of winning against these humans without the support of their queen.
However, would the humans let them go after suffering disastrous losses? The answer was quite simple. No!
Thus, Andreas immediately ordered all the warriors in the camp to pursue these foxes and kill them!
Meanwhile, Andreas also moved towards the territory where this Frozen Spirit Fox Race used to live.
His main motive had been to grab hold of the Moonlit Snow Lotus. But he was shocked when he failed to find the Moonlit Snow Lotus anywhere in the area.
He thought to himself 'Did these foxes hide the Moonlit Snow Lotus to some secret place? Or has it been stolen by some other race?'
Andreas shook his head as he felt that these two possibilities were quite unlikely.
'Why did these foxes attack our encampment even though we are so far away from their territory? They even appeared to be extremely angry. The Moonlit Snow Lotus is also missing from their territory. Just what is going on?'
He had no idea about these questions.. He planned to inform this situation to his master.
