"That baby is a mistake created by this fourth trial because you cheated about your age earlier, so it is my job as a new test model to eliminate that mistake to set this fourth trial back to the proper path and test your talent in martial arts." Tian Jian replied to Tang Li Xue with a monotonous tone.
"A mistake created by this fourth trial? What do you mean by that? Eh... Wait a minute... I never cheat about my age!" Tang Li Xue asked back in confusion, but she immediately became angry again.
However, Tian Jian did not care about Tang Li Xue's words and started to attack the baby in her embrace again.
Tian Jian raised his black treasured sword toward the ceiling, and his terrifying sword Qi began to accumulate on his black treasured sword.
Even Tang Li Xue could sense the dreadful aura coming from Tian Jian's black treasured sword.
She knew in an instant that Tian Jian's next attack would be powerful enough to break her defense and kill her along with the baby in her embrace.
Tang Li Xue instantly decided to dodge Tian Jian's next attack instead of blocking or parrying it.
When Tian Jian swung his black treasured sword down with all of his might, Tang Li Xue also simultaneously used her [Supreme Speed Sword Style] and [Snow Dance Step] at the same time to dodge it.
The beautiful snowflake started raining down upon Tang Li Xue, and the tiled floor below her feet was covered with a thin layer of frost, then her slender figure swiftly flashed away as she took her steps according to the [Supreme Speed Sword Style].
[Heaven Sword Technique], Heaven Splitting Slash!
BBOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!
Tang Li Xue was barely able to avoid Tian Jian's powerful attack on time, and his powerful attack struck the tiled floor under Tang Li Xue's feet where Tang Lu Xue had stood before instead.
Tian Jian's slash was so powerful that it even managed to split the tiled floor and leave a very deep and long fissure on it, but it was not over until there yet.
The sharp sword Qi from Tian Jian's slash made a terrific shockwave that was shot forward until it collided with the wall and created a deep vertical crack on the wall.
The terrific shockwave from Tian Jian's slash even affected the dodging Tang Li Xue.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt shredded the back part of her black cloak to pieces, only leaving the black hood to cover her head, and also wounded her internally, even though the terrific shockwave created from Tian Jian's sharp sword Qi only managed to graze her back.
PUUUFT~!!!
Tang Li Xue spurted out a mouthful of blood as she stumbled forward because the terrifying shockwave grazed her back.
Tian Jian saw that Tang Li Xue currently staggered forward, and he would never let this chance go.
He immediately thrust the black treasured sword in his grasp toward Tang Li Xue's defenseless back.
Tang Li Xue gnashed her teeth as she could clearly sense that her current situation was very dire, and her life was in great danger.
Just when Tian Jian's black treasured sword almost stabbed onto Tang Li Xue's back, Tang Li Xue used her [Shadow Striders]'s equipment skill in an instant without any hesitation.
[Shadow Flash]!
Tang Li Xue instantly teleported onto the shadow created by the left side of the wall and made Tian Jian's stab missed.
Tang Li Xue was breathing heavily as cold sweat already damped her forehead and back.
She quickly put the cute-looking male baby onto the tiled floor since she already realized that she would definitely get killed by Tian Jian sooner or later if she kept fighting against Tian Jian while she must also holding the male baby with her left hand and protecting him from Tian Jian's attack.
She also put Little Loki, who always silently sat on her right shoulder, onto the tiled floor, just right beside the cute-looking male baby.
"Little Loki, please help me guard this little one here, okay? I promise I will give you a lot of snacks later after this fourth trial is over." Tang Li Xue said to Little Loki as she patted Little Loki's furry head and smiled gently at it.
Little Loki looked in a bit of daze, and it did not even pay attention to Tang Li Xue's plead as it kept observing the cute-looking male baby with a suspicious stare.
Tang Li Xue did not have any spare time to pay attention to Little Loki's response or expression clearly since she currently prepared her mind to fight against the powerful Tian Jian head-on.
Meanwhile, Tian Jian was already chasing after Tang Li Xue while brandishing his treasured black sword toward her from behind, but Tang Li Xue also already swiftly turned around and charged toward him instead.
Tian Jian fearlessly held his treasured black sword tightly with both of his hands when he saw Tang Li Xue swiftly charged toward him.
Suddenly, the treasured black sword in Tian Jian's grasp vanished along with both of his hands because both of his hands were moving too fast for anyone to see.
[Heaven Sword Technique], Rainbow Cutter!
Tang Li Xue's expression instantly turned solemn when she saw Tian Jian's fearsome sword technique.
However, she forcefully suppressed the strong urge to step back and keep her distance from Tian Jian, then used her own sword technique to counter Tian Jian's attack.
[Supreme Speed Sword Style], Flash Draw!
The technique used the most by the previous fourth crystal puppet in the second trial... The simplest offense sword technique in [Supreme Speed Sword Style], but the fastest among all sword techniques that Tang Li Xue has learned until now.
Yes, Tang Li Xue had decided to use her fastest speed type sword technique to fight head-on against Tian Jian's speed type sword technique!
Of course, she also added her [Snow Dance Step] to increase her speed even further.
Tang Li Xue even condensed [Paragon Sword Technique]'s sharpest sword intent and made it enveloped the [Scepter of Disaster] in her grasp.
This move would make the [Scepter of Disaster] in her grasp much sharper than any normal sword!
But those were not all.
She also decided to use the weapon skill from [Critical Strikers]!
[Final Strike]!
This [Final Strike] would further increase the strength of her current attack by three times and the speed of her attack by 30%!
Tang Li Xue intended to forcefully make Tian Jian revealing an opening with this attack, then she could utilize that opening to defeat him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTang Li Xue's slender figure had vanished as she flashed faster than anyone's eyes could see toward Tian Jian, and then she swiftly swung the [Scepter of Disaster] in her grasp toward Tian Jian.
CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNGGG~!!!
Tang Li Xue's [Scepter of Disaster] clashed head-on heavily against Tian Jian's treasured black sword!
Their clash was so violent that it created an enormous shockwave and fire sparks.
Tang Li Xue gnashed her teeth as she used all of her might to push the [Scepter of Disaster] in her tight grasp forward.
Even Tang Li Xue already used her every effort and technique in this strike, but Tian Jian could still easily swing his treasured black sword until Tang Li Xue was thrown off backward.
"I am still easily pushed back even with the [Final Strike]'s power amplification effect?! Damn it! Just how far the difference between our strength!" Tang Li Xue scolded between her teeth in displeasure as she quickly landed her feet back onto the ground and stopped her flying momentum before she could crash onto the wall behind her.
But just when Tang Li Xue prepared herself to fight against Tian Jian again, everything she saw suddenly got distorted, and the scene in her eyes turned really blurry.
PPPUUUUUUUUUUUFFF~!!!
Suddenly, there was a long wound extended from her left shoulder to her right waist.
Tang Li Xue felt her body became weak, and she dropped on her knee as she spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood.
"I... I got injured?! How could it be? Since when I... Cough... Cough... Cough..." Tang Li Xue asked in confusion, but she immediately coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood since her blood started to flood her lung because of her horrible slash wound.
"It seems my first slash is too shallow since you are still alive right now. You are really lucky because your strike managed to stop my second slash. If not for that, your body should already split into many parts by now." Tian Jian said as he stared at Tang Li Xue with an expressionless face.
The total slash in Tian Jian's [Rainbow Cutter] sword technique was the same as the color of the rainbow.
Seven colors... Seven slashes...
Moreover, the speed and power of his slash would be doubled in each slash!
Tian Jian's words were not sarcasm, and it was honestly true.
Tang Li Xue was really lucky since she managed to stop Tian Jian's second slash!
If it was the third slash, fourth slash, fifth slash, sixth slash, or even seventh slash from Tian Jian's [Rainbow Cutter]... Then Tang Li Xue would surely not be able to stop it since she could only barely able to stop his second slash!
'Tsk! This is all because that damned egoistic bird is still fast asleep to digest the source of Purple Ghost Flame! If not for that, I am sure I can... Sigh... All right, I admit it is my mistake. I should not call you damned or egoistic, so come on... Wake up quickly and help me fight this powerful bast*rd... or I might die soon, and your fate would be no different than me!' Tang Li Xue thought as she tried to wake up the Phoenix of Pride in her Dantian, who was still fast asleep until now.
