Chapter 461: Close Victory!
Beiming Chu nodded his head and followed Tang Li Xue\'s instruction without any hesitation.
He kicked the ground and dashed toward the giant carnivorous tree with his full speed while swinging his sword around to deflect the rapid attacks from so many invisible vines.
Tang Li Xue followed right behind Beiming Chu while she kept swiftly shifting her body to the right and left to closely avoid the attacks of the invisible vines that were continuously targeting her from the side, rear, and below.
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue\'s Qi kept steadily accumulating at the [Frost Swan Sword] in her grasp to condense an even more terrifying sharpest sword intent.
However, the number of invisible vines that attacking them seemed to increase faster than they could imagine.
Even Beiming Chu started to have a hard time blocking them all and got injured by them little by little.
The relentless attacks from so many invisible vines managed to graze Beiming Chu\'s shoulder, waist, arm, and thigh.
Fortunately, they were not fatal, and they were not deep enough to hinder Beiming Chu\'s movement.
"This is bad! Miss Xue, there are just too many of them! I cannot block them all alone!" Beiming Chu blurted out to Tang Li Xue with a frustrated tone as one of the invisible vines struck his wrist and almost made him dropped the sword in his grasp.
Right after Beiming Chu spoke, one invisible vine managed to slip past his defense and bound his right ankle.
"OH, NO!" Beiming Chu shouted as he tried to cut the invisible vine that binding his right ankle, but the invisible vine quickly pulled upward and hanged him upside down.
Tang Li Xue swiftly swung her [Frost Swan Sword] to cut the invisible vine and released Beiming Chu.
But when Beiming Chu dropped back onto the ground, the other invisible vines were already moved swiftly and bound Beiming Chu\'s right and left hands to restrain his movement.
Tang Li Xue immediately realized that she would fall into the passive situation if she kept helping Beiming Chu and blocking the invisible vines.
"Hold on! Just do your best not to die until I cut down that carnivorous tree!" Tang Li Xue muttered to Beiming Chu as she jumped onto Beiming Chu\'s shoulder from behind and jumped again toward the giant carnivorous tree.
RRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRR~!!!
The giant carnivorous tree roared out loud, and it seems to become angrier when it sensed that Tang Li Xue got closer and closer to it.
It looked like even the giant carnivorous tree felt threatened by Tang Li Xue\'s [Paragon Sword Technique] wrapped on her [Frost Swan Sword].
After using several of his invisible vines to tied down Beiming Chu and made him unable to move anymore, the giant carnivorous tree did not even think to kill Beiming Chu first, and it immediately urged all of its invisible vines to attack Tang Li Xue at once from all directions.
Hundreds of invisible vines flooded toward Tang Li Xue like a giant tsunami.
Tang Li Xue knew she could not block them all, and she also did not even have any space to dodge them too.
When those hundreds of invisible vines almost struck Tang Li Xue...
BBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNGGG~!!!
Hundreds of invisible vines only managed to strike an empty ground.
Tang Li Xue\'s slender figure suddenly vanished right before those hundreds of invisible vines hit her!
[Shadow Flash]!
Tang Li Xue teleported onto the giant carnivorous tree\'s shade 100 meters from where she was stood before!
[Water Mirage]!
Tang Li Xue was only several meters away from the giant carnivorous tree, but she also knew that there would be more danger the closer she was toward the giant carnivorous tree.
So, Tang Li Xue decided to use [Water Mirage] to probe the way ahead of her and also confuse the giant carnivorous tree.
Tang Li Xue\'s slender figure was split into four, then from four into eight, and so on...
When Tang Li Xue split into twenty-four identical figures, all of them sprinted toward the giant carnivorous tree at once!
Of course, the giant carnivorous tree did not stay still to wait for Tang Li Xue to cut it.
The giant carnivorous tree immediately controlled hundreds of invisible vines to attack twenty-four Tang Li Xues from behind!
PUFF... PUFF... PUFF... PUFF... PUFF... PUFF... PUFF...
Tang Li Xue\'s [Water Mirages] got destroyed and burst out like water bubbles, they turned back into water one by one by the fierce attacks from the invisible vines.
Seven meters...
Five meters...
Three meters...
When Tang Li Xue was only two meters away from the giant carnivorous tree and was ready to swing her [Frost Swan Sword] to cut down the carnivorous tree...
BWOOOOOOOSSSHHH~!!!
The giant carnivorous tree suddenly opened its massive mouth filled with sharp teeth, and something resembling a tongue... or maybe a root was shooting out from its massive mouth!
The speed was inconceivable fast that Tang Li Xue did not even have any time to react at all!
If Tang Li Xue failed to block it, there was no doubt that this root would penetrate her chest and fatally wounded her!
Little Loki already quickly stood up on Tang Li Xue\'s right shoulder and was ready to help Tang Li Xue block this root.
But suddenly, Little Loki sensed a transparent barrier enveloped Tang Li Xue\'s entire body.
[Arcane Barrier]!
Arcane Barrier: Create a spell shield that reduces the damage taken by half. Duration: 30 Second. Cooldown: 20 minutes.
At the critical moment, Tang Li Xue activated the equipment skill from her new inner armor, the [Arcane Tunic].
Moreover, [Arcane Tunic] has a 20% damage reduction, so Tang Li Xue would probably only receive 30% to 40% damage from the giant carnivorous tree\'s sudden attack.
BBAAAAAAAAAAAANNGGG~!!!
The giant carnivorous tree\'s tongue mercilessly struck Tang Li Xue\'s chest heavily!
-16,743!
[Arcane Tunic]\'s durability: 476/500!
Even under the protection of her [Arcane Tunic] and [Arcane Barrier], Tang Li Xue still coughed out a mouthful of blood as some of her internal organs were injured.
\'Damn it! More than 16,000 damage! If I do not wear [Arcane Tunic] and use [Arcane Barrier], I would probably take three times more damage than that!\' Tang Li Xue thought as she muffled her groan.
However, Tang Li Xue suddenly felt her wound recovered a bit after that.
+2,512!
This was actually the effect of [Arcane Shroud], the equipment effect of her [Arcane Tunic].
Arcane Shroud: Absorb 15% of the damage taken and turn it into HP.
Moreover, Tang Li Xue did not get thrown off backward from the giant carnivorous tree\'s heavy strike thanks to all of those!
"Die, you cursed tree!" Tang Li Xue shouted as she swung the [Frost Swan Sword] in her grasp with all of her might.
Tang Li Xue also guessed that her [Paragon Sword Technique] might not be powerful enough to take down the giant carnivorous tree in one attack, so she added two more skills on top of that.
[Chivalrous Sword Art], Trading Blow!
A sword technique from [Chivalrous Sword Art] that deal 200% damage to the enemy while the user will receive 60% damage.
Plus... [Critical Striker]\'s Weapon Skill... [Final Strike]!
Final Strike: Deal 3x damage, Critical Rate +20%, Attack Speed+ 30%. Cooldown: 1 hour.
Tang Li Xue held her [Frost Swan Sword] with both of her hands so tightly, and she was chopping the giant carnivorous tree horizontally!
PSSSHHH~!!!
The main trunk of the giant carnivorous tree was really hard. Both of Tang Li Xue\'s palms started to bleed, but she did not halt her chopping movement at all.
CREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAKKKK~!!!
The giant carnivorous tree let out a painful deafening screak.
The giant carnivorous tree did not want to die, so it quickly urged its rapid regeneration to heal its wound before Tang Li Xue chopped down its body.
Unfortunately, the giant carnivorous tree forgot about something important...
The freezing aura from Tang Li Xue\'s [Frost Swan Sword] could prevent its rapid regeneration!
It means the giant carnivorous tree could not regenerate the frozen part of its body unless it got rid of the frozen part first.
CRACK... CRACK... CRACK... CRACK... CRACK...
The giant trunk of the carnivorous tree began to slant.
BBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!
Then the giant carnivorous tree finally toppled down after Tang Li Xue chopped it down.
Tang Li Xue sighed in relief.
When she relaxed her tense muscle, exhaustion and pain began to flood her body, so she fell limply onto the grassy ground and sat down for a few moments there.
"Uhhh... Miss Xue? Do you successfully take that creature down? Can you help me to cut these vines if you are already free?" Beiming Chu asked Tang Li Xue with an embarrassed tone.
Currently, Beiming Chu\'s body was still bound by many vines, so he was still unable to move.
"Oh, all right. Wait for a minute... I will release you now." After used one of her [Talisman of Renegeration +3] to herself, Tang Li Xue stood up and walked toward Beiming Chu.
The [Frost Swan Sword] in her grasp glinted coldly as Tang Li Xue slowly approached Beiming Chu.
\'This is a really good chance, isn\'t it? He cannot move at all right now, so I can easily behead him in one strike!\' Tang Li Xue pondered in her mind.
Tang Li Xue narrowed her topaz blue eyes dangerously as she emitted out a faint murderous intent.
"To think you really can cut that tree monster in one strike. Miss Xue, you are not only beautiful but also really strong! I admire you even more! Sigh... My cultivation is higher than yours, but my strength is not as good as yours. I really feel ashamed." Beiming Chu did not realize Tang Li Xue\'s intention to kill him and praising her again.
