Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 493: Heavy Casualties!

Tang Li Xue was sprinting swiftly in the zigzag pattern to the edge of this small town with Little Seventh on her back while avoiding bumping into any pedestrians.

But suddenly, two assassins disguised as peddlers on the roadside jumped over from their stalls toward Tang Li Xue and slashed their knives at Tang Li Xueʼs neck!

Even Tang Li Xue did not expect this attack would come toward her all of a sudden since she only focused her [Extrasensory Perception] to detect the movement of any black-clothed assassins in these crowds of people.

The two assassinsʼ knives were already right in front of Tang Li Xueʼs eyes!

It was already too late for Tang Li Xue to block their attack, so Tang Li Xue could only try to dodge them!

Tang Li Xueʼs slim figure swiftly leaned backward until her head was on her back as if she was playing limbo.

SHRINGGGGG~!!!

The two assassinsʼ knives passed right above Tang Li Xueʼs chin, and they only managed to cut a few strands of her silky smooth silver hair.

Tang Li Xue did not pay any heed to those two disguised assassins and quickly dashed again with her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step].

ʼHolysh*t! That was a close one! I should be more careful next time!ʼ Tang Li Xue thought as she wiped a cold sweat on her forehead with her sleeve.

For the first time, Tang Li Xue felt lucky that she did not have a pair of big melons on her chest.

If she had them, those two assassinsʼ knives would surely already chopped them off by now!

”Little Seventh, are you still okay? That attack just now did not hurt you, right?” Tang Li Xue asked with a worried tone.

”Wahahahaha~! That was so much fun! Big Sister Xue, do it again~! Do it again~!” Little Seventh cheered with her usual carefree happy tone.

Tang Li Xueʼs pink lips twitched in frustration.

This kid almost got killed with her just now, but she was still laughing happily as if she was having so much fun.

Tang Li Xue was 80% sure that Little Seventh has... Intellectual Disability.

But that did not diminish Tang Li Xueʼs desire to protect Little Seventh.

On the contrary, Tang Li Xueʼs desire to protect Little Seventh became much stronger than before.

Little Seventhʼs appearance was 70% resemble her, and Little Seventh was also ʼsickʼ.

When Tang Li Xue looks at Little Seventh, it was as if she was looking at her past self in her previous life.

Tang Li Xue gnashed her white teeth in determination as she swore to protect Little Seventh in her heart.

Meanwhile, several black-clothed assassins were already chasing after her closely from behind.

Tang Li Xueʼs expression gradually became even more solemn as she thought: ʼThis is strange. How could these assassins track me down so quickly and precisely?ʼ

Tang Li Xue immediately communicated with her perfect copy using the mental connection between them.

Her perfect copy also got attacked by some assassins, but not as many and frequently as her.

ʼAre they already put some kind of tracker on me? But... when and how did they put it on me? Since in that luxurious restaurant?ʼ Tang Li Xue deduced carefully in her mind while frowning deeply.

The several black-clothed assassins who were chasing behind Tang Li Xue immediately realized that they could not match Tang Li Xueʼs speed and got farther and farther from her, so they immediately changed their strategy.

Several black-clothed assassins took out something from their spatial ring and threw it toward Tang Li Xue from behind.

Tang Li Xue already sensed their move with [Extrasensory Perception] and quickly performed [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step].

Her slim figure flashed to the right and left to avoid the black-clothed assassinsʼ secret weapons, but...

BAAAAAANG~! BAAAAAANG~! BAAAAAANG~!

All of their secret weapons suddenly exploded!

”Damn it! These people are really shameless!” Tang Li Xue cursed as she hastily used [Energy Manipulation] again to create a transparent barrier to protect herself and Little Seventh.

To be honest, Tang Li Xue did not afraid of these little explosions and fires at all.

She already played with high-ranking flames, the Flame of Pride, and even won against the spirit beast, Sapphire Queen Wasp, in the Inheritance Ground Tablet.

How could she be afraid of these ordinary flames?!

But Little Seventh was different from her, Tang Li Xue was really afraid that these flames would hurt or even disfigure Little Seventhʼs jade-like appearance.

Those assassinsʼ secret weapons did not only explode, but they were also spreading fire everywhere, burning the surrounding peddlerʼs stalls, carts, and buildings!

Pedestrians, peddlers, shopkeepers, and so on were screaming and running around in panic.

The entire street was thrown into chaos in that instant!

Many pedestrians got burned by the flames and screamed asking for help.

Shopkeepers were running around to find water to put out the flames in their shops.

Peddlers moved quickly to secure their merchandise and money.

Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue suddenly felt dizzy and uncomfortable!

Yes, even the smoke from the explosion was actually poisonous!

But as usual, Tang Li Xueʼs [Pure Sun Dragon] bloodline was working quickly to burn all of the poison in her body to nothingness, while her [Imperial Moon Fox] bloodline completely nullified all of the negative effects from the poison.

”Holysh*t! These bast*rds! They even dare to use poisonous smoke in this crowded place! They never even take civiliansʼ lives into consideration!” Tang Li Xue exclaimed as she felt anger raising from her heart.

Actually, most cultivators have never cared about the lives of ordinary mortals.

So, it was normal for these cold-blooded assassins to disregard the thousand of ordinary mortalʼs lives just to catch Tang Li Xue.

On the contrary, Tang Li Xue actually has many other powerful skills, but she did not dare to use them yet here.

As anyone could see, Tang Li Xue only used her martial art skills to fight those assassins until now.

It was because she was afraid of accidentally hurting or even killing the ordinary mortals in this small town!

Tang Li Xue gritted her teeth and stopped running when she saw the chaotic situation in front of her eyes.

Several black-clothed assassins took this chance to unsheathe their weapons and started to attack Tang Li Xue.

ʼWake up my martial soul, [Golden Winged Serpent]!ʼ Tang Li Xue urged in her mind.

A majestic golden light suddenly shone from Tang Li Xueʼs body and it made several black-clothed assassins more cautious.

They swiftly canceled their attack and took a few steps back to keep their distance from Tang Li Xue for now.

RRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRR~!!!

The loud dragon roar echoed through the entire river and mountain, frightening all the ordinary people living in this small town.

The [Golden Winged Serpent] was soaring into the sky above the small town and flew around the small town.

Under Tang Li Xueʼs instruction, the [Golden Winged Serpent] started to use one of its unique skills.

[Summon Rain]!

The heavy rain was suddenly pouring from the skies, extinguishing the flames that burned the street and buildings!

While the cold humid wind dispersed the poisonous gas before it could spread and poisoned many more ordinary mortals in this small town.

Several black-clothed assassins glanced at each other and then started to summon out their martial soul too!

However, Tang Li Xue would not let them do that!

Because the battle would certainly spread, become more fierce, and took more innocent lives!

Tang Li Xue instructed her [Golden Winged Serpent] to use its [Water Control] and the surrounding rainwater trapped the several black-clothed assassins.

[Water Prison]!

Each of several black-clothed assassins was trapped inside the floating water ball along with their martial soul!

This [Water Prison] was not that powerful, so it could only restrain them for a few moments at most, but Tang Li Xue already prepared another attack for them!

[Golden Winged Serpent] was hovering above Tang Li Xue while staring indifferently at the trapped black-clothed assassins, then it opened its mouth.

[Water Cannon Blast]!

BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!

The highly compressed water cannon sprayed toward those trapped black-clothed assassins!

Like playing billiards, those trapped black-clothed assassins flew very far away across the street and river when [Golden Winged Serpent]ʼs attack struck them.

Tang Li Xue did not care about their dead or alive, she immediately ordered her [Golden Winged Serpent] to use [Healing Bubble], and its target was the surrounding wounded and poisoned mortals.

(Healing Bubble: Covered the target with a water bubble to increase the HP regeneration by 300% and heal the target for 500 HP every second.)

All the wounded and poisoned people were covered by [Healing Bubble] in an instant.

Their burn wounds recovered rapidly, while the poisoned people with purple faces also detoxified rapidly.

For powerful people with a lot of HP, healing 500 HP every second might looks a bit slow, but for these ordinary mortals, it was more than enough to fully heal them in one or two seconds.

All people on the street along with their families thought it was the [Golden Winged Serpent] who saved them, and they quickly kneeled while praying: ”Thank you, Dragon God, for your help and blessing!”

Tang Li Xue smiled but she did not plan to stay here for too long.

Tang Li Xue jumped high and landed on the [Golden Winged Serpent]ʼs back along with Little Seventh.

”letʼs go fast, [Golden Winged Serpent]! We need to get out of this little town quickly, if not, the same tragic incident will certainly happen again soon!” Tang Li Xue said with a solemn expression.

[Golden Winged Serpent] roared out loud once again, and it flew swiftly toward the edge of the small town.

But how could all of the veteran assassins from Assassin Tower let Tang Li Xue go so easily?!

They also immediately took out their flying treasure and hastily chased after Tang Li Xue.
