Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 1214: Chapter 1214: Blown Disguise!

Of course, the warning from the formations only means they were somehow triggered.

It was not necessarily because there was an intruder who sneaked in and triggered the formations.

There were many factors that could trigger the formations, such as a malfunction, accidentally triggered by other factors such as bugs, guards, and so on.

Anyway, Master Yu did not want anything untoward to happen to the treasured sword he had just obtained.

If he had not been forced to join the war against the Sea Beast Tide with all the other Region Heads, he would have already stayed in the Jade Tower until his plan was completed.

While Master Yu’s mind was occupied with checking the situation of the treasured sword he had obtained, Tang Li Xue was busily thinking of a way to buy more time for her perfect copy.

She even tried to warn her perfect copy through their mind connection in panic when Master Yu returned to the Jade Tower, but she immediately realized that she somehow could not communicate with her perfect copy at all in this Isolated Jade Island.

When Master Yu reached the stairs heading to the second floor, Tang Li Xue gritted her teeth and shouted while kneeling: “Master Yu, please punish me!”

Master Yu: “?!”

The other guard captains: “?!”

After a few moments of silence, the guard captains near Tang Li Xue muttered softly in panic: “Are you crazy?!”

“You damn brat! Don’t drag us with you if you really want to die!”

“Quickly apologize to Master Yu!” The other guard captains spoke to Tang Li Xue unhappily.

Master Yu raised his hand, and all the guards and guard captains immediately went silent.

“Oh? Why do you want to get punished? What mistake did you make?” Master Yu asked curiously.

Tang Li Xue was still kneeling with her head lowered and said stammeringly: “I… This subordinate… secretly drank some wine… and… accidentally touched the protective barrier…”

Master Yu frowned and stared suspiciously at the kneeling Tang Li Xue for a while.

“What is your name?” Master Yu suddenly asked Tang Li Xue.

“Ah? This subordinate’s name is Xu Chuan.” Tang Li Xue replied while pretending to be confused, but inwardly, she was very flustered.

She had already interrogated the captured guard captain, so she knew some basic information about him, but if Master Yu interrogated her more closely, then there was a high chance that his disguise would be blown.

“Come closer.” Master Yu ordered in a colder tone.

Tang Li Xue took a deep breath as she stood up and nervously walked closer to Master Yu.

When Tang Li Xue was only two or three meters away from Master Yu, Master Yu suddenly thrust his palm toward Tang Li Xue’s chest!

Tang Li Xue immediately concluded that Master Yu was probably only testing her because he did not attack with his full strength.

Even if Master Yu’s palm attack hit the guard captain with Core Formation Stage cultivation, the guard captain should not be killed, only seriously injured.

Even if Tang Li Xue got hit by Master Yu’s palm attack, she would not get injured at all, and would only get pushed back one or two steps.

‘He is only testing me with his attack. Logically, I should just receive this hit and pretend to be seriously injured, but unfortunately, my [Thousand Myriad Faces] will break if I get hit by a powerful strike.’ Tang Li Xue was thinking quickly.

In that split second, Tang Li Xue quickly decided to tilt her body to the left side and dodge Master Yu’s palm attack easily!

Master Yu frowned in displeasure and attacked Tang Li Xue for the second time.

This time, Master Yu threw a much stronger punch with the intention to kill Tang Li Xue!

Tang Li Xue knew that her disguise had been blown because if she were really the guard captain, she should not dare to avoid Master Yu’s attack!

Tang Li Xue executed [Moonlight Flickering Dance Step] and turned into an afterimage as she easily dodged Master Yu’s punch.

“You damn intruder, how dare you sneak into my Jade Tower?! DIE—!” Master Yu shouted in anger.

Master Yu took out his spirit weapon, a crimson halberd, and attacked Tang Li Xue without holding back this time!

Before Master Yu’s halberd attack could reach Tang Li Xue, she had already used [Void Shrinking Step] to teleport toward the entrance of the Jade Tower!

The guards and guard captains hastily made their move to catch Tang Li Xue before she reached the Jade Tower’s entrance and ran away!

[Crescent Moon Cleave] plus Th Profound Law of Earth—!

PUFF—! PUFF—! PUFF—! PUFF—! PUFF—!

Silvery light in the shape of a crescent moon was expanding and cutting all the approaching guards like tofu!

The guard captains were much stronger than ordinary guards, so they managed to defend themselves with their defensive treasures, spells, or talismans.

Then Master Yu already thrust his crimson halberd toward Tang Li Xue’s back from behind!

[Shadow Flash]—!

Tang Li Xue teleported again and managed to escape from the Jade Tower through the front entrance!

But Tang Li Xue did not continue to run away after she got out of the Jade Tower.

She got out of the Jade Tower as quickly as she could, not only because she did not want Master Yu to activate the protective formation to trap her inside the Jade Tower.

But she also planned to bait Master Yu to chase after her and get further away from the Jade Tower, so her perfect copy, Yaya, and Little Loki could save Xi’er and get out safely from the Jade Tower without being obstructed by Master Yu later!

To provoke Master Yu further, Tang Li Xue unleashed [Starfall] plus the Profound Law of Earth to bombard the Jade Tower’s entrance!

BOOOM—! BOOOM—! BOOOM—! BOOOM—!

Many guards and even guard captains were blown to death by Tang Li Xue’s empowered [Starfall]!

Then a crimson light zoomed toward Tang Li Xue!

The crimson light speed was so fast that Tang Li Xue did not even have time to react or dodge!

PUFF—!

The crimson light was actually Master Yu’s crimson halberd!

Master Yu threw his crimson halberd with all of his strength and pierced Tang Li Xue’s chest, then went through her back!

Her [Thousand Myriad Faces] disguise instantly broke, and she reverted to her real, stunningly beautiful appearance.

Tang Li Xue was pushed back by the crimson halberd’s force until the crimson halberd stabbed into a pillar in front of the Jade Tower’s entrance!

“Cough, cough, cough…” Tang Li Xue, who was embedded on the pillar, coughed out a large amount of blood from her mouth.

The crimson halberd was infused with Master Yu’s profound laws, so the profound laws wreaked havoc inside Tang Li Xue’s body, which made her injuries worsen, and her body felt weak.

‘So painful! Damn it! No Region Heads are simple! All of them are so outrageously powerful! Their strength should be above the standard Spirit Transformation Realm of the Azure Mist Continent!’ Tang Li Xue gritted her pearl-white teeth as she tried to pull out the crimson halberd that pierced her shoulder.

Unfortunately, she felt her entire body was very weak, so she failed to pull out the crimson halberd from her shoulder.

“Hoh~! So beautiful! If you show your real appearance like this, I may hold myself back just now.” Master Yu walked leisurely toward Tang Li Xue while appreciating Tang Li Xue’s stunningly beautiful appearance.

Then Master Yu grabbed his crimson halberd that pierced Tang Li Xue’s shoulder and the pillar and pulled it out with ease.

Tang Li Xue slid down from the pillar and fell until she sat weakly while leaning on the pillar.

When Master Yu reached his hand to grab Tang Li Xue…

CLANG—!

Master Yu suddenly raised his crimson halberd to block Lucia’s [Blade Feather Slash]!

Yes, Tang Li Xue asked for Lucia’s help and let Lucia out of her mid-rank space pouch!

Then Lu Xingchen also jumped out from the mid-rank space pouch and swung his sword toward Master Yu’s neck!

CLANG—!

Master Yu blocked Lu Xingchen’s attack with his crimson halberd again!

Lucia and Lu Xingchen kept attacking Master Yu relentlessly!

CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—! CLANG—!

In just a few breaths, Lucia, Lu Xingchen, and Master Yu had already traded hundreds of blows!

Tang Li Xue hastily took this chance to take out the gourd containing the Spiritual Healing Water from her space pouch and washed her wound with the Spiritual Healing Water.

She also drank a few sips of the Spiritual Healing Water to heal her internal injuries.

Thanks to the purification effect of the Spiritual Healing Water, Master Yu’s Profound Laws, which destroyed her body from inside and prevented her injuries from healing, were weakened, and she immediately felt much better.

Tang Li Xue stood up while wiping the blood on her mouth with her sleeve.

Meanwhile, Lucia and Lu Xingchen were getting more and more overwhelmed by Master Yu.

At this rate, they would be beaten down by Master Yu soon.

Tang Li Xue knew that they were not Master Yu’s opponent, so she instantly decided to cancel her [Transfiguration] and turn back to her true fox form!

Then she woke up the Phoenix of Pride and entered [Perfect Assimilation Mode] to face Master Yu!

“Wake up, Dumb Bird—!” Tang Li Xue whispered to the Phoenix of Pride.

“YIIIII—! (Don’t call me Dumb—!)” Deep blue Phoenix of Pride flew out from Tang Li Xue’s Dantian and merged with Tang Li Xue’s body!

BWOOOOSSH—!

Extremely hot, deep blue flames wrapped Tang Li Xue’s fox body!

Her smooth silver fur and fox tails were covered in deep blue flames as if she had become the demon flame fox!

So sorry, my health was still not good this month, so I decided to take a break and rest longer. (TwT) Fortunately, I have gotten much better now. Let’s see if we can get back to daily releases soon.
