"Nice one, Little Loki~!" Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy smiled and gave a thumbs up to Little Loki.
Little Loki snorted and puffed out its chest smugly.
"All right... Now, the center of the third stair contains the lowest risk." Perfect Copy continued to the third stair.
CLACKâ! BOOOOMâ!
Her leg sank a bit as if she stepped into a trap, then Perfect Copy was electrocuted by purple thunder!
The power of purple thunder was so great that it charred Perfect Copyâs entire body!
Fortunately, the purple thunder only scorched Perfect Copyâs outer skin at most, so it only took a few breaths for Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy to completely recover with her [Super-Fast Regeneration].
Perfect Copyâs clothes were also burned, but she only needed to use her [Energy Manipulation] to create a new one and cover her alluring naked body.
What made both Tang Li Xue and her perfect copy very fond of [Energy Manipulation] was actually because they did not need to change their clothes each time their clothes were ruined, just like now.
They could just fix their clothes or instantly make a new one with [Energy Manipulation] anytime they wanted it.
"Fourth stair, five centimeters from the left..."
BAAANGâ!
An explosive cannonball was shot toward Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy.
Fortunately, Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy had already prepared herself beforehand because she had already seen through the trap with her [Fiery Bright Eyes], so she managed to dodge it in time.
"Fifth stair, thirty centimeters from the right..."
PUFFâ! PUFFâ! PUFFâ! PUFFâ!
Dozens of spears impaled Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy from the ground.
Perfect Copy was too lazy to even block those dozens of spears, so she let those spears pierce into her body.
After those spears retracted back into the ground, Perfect Copy had already fully recovered in only a few seconds.
"Sixth stair, seventy centimeters from the right..."
The huge guillotine-like blade suddenly fell down, threatening to split Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy in two!
[Moonlight Flashing Edge] plus [Sharp Edge Power]â!
Tang Li Xue swung her palm in a chopping motion as a silvery light shot out from her palm!
CLAAANGâ!
The huge guillotine-like blade was actually cut in two instead by Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy!
[Moonlight Flashing Edge] itself had shown unparalleled sharpness and speed.
Adding [Sharp Edge Power] on top of that made it several times even more lethal!
Even the huge guillotine-like blade could be cut so easily, like a hot knife cutting butter!
Seventh stair... Illusion Formation.
Perfect Copyâs [Fiery Bright Eyes] could see through any illusion and deception, so she passed through it easily.
Ninth stair... Magma Surge.
Perfect Copyâs heat resistance was very high, so the high-temperature magma could only burn some of her delicate skin and her clothes at best.
Fifteenth stair... Frosty Wind.
Perfect Copyâs cold resistance was also not much lower than her heat resistance, so the extremely cold wind felt like cold air from the refrigerator for her.
The difficulty was getting higher as Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy stepped onto higher stairs.
If not for her [Fiery Bright Eyes], which could let her choose the path with the lowest risk, she might have already fallen into great danger by now.
"Just how many more of these damn stairs are there?! Are these damn stairs truly heading to the second floor or are they heading straight to heaven instead?!" Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy complained while gnashing her pearl-white teeth in rage.
After the thirtieth stair, Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy felt there was a mountain-like pressure pressing on her!
She almost fell on her knees, but luckily, she could react in time thanks to her [Fiery Bright Eyes].
Perfect Copy hastily used [Energy Manipulation] to condense a four-legged cane, so she would not fall and be pressed onto the ground.
Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy halted her step only when she reached the forty-ninth stair.
The main reason was because she sensed a life-threatening danger from the last fiftieth stair.
To make it worse, there was no weaker spot she could exploit like the previous stairs.
"These damn stairs... Why donât you put this last stair as the first one?! That way, I can just give up before I try to climb it!" Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy complained again in rage.
Since she had already gone this far, Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy clearly would not give up without trying it.
Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy took a deep breath before she stepped into the last stair, the fiftieth stair.
In that instant, her surrounding scenery instantly changed!
Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy found herself stood in the large arena!
ROOOOAAAARâ!
An earth-shattering roar echoed, which even made Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy dizzy for a few moments.
After Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy shook her head to clear her mind, an enormous golden dragon had appeared right in front of her!
"This is... Great Wei Dynastyâs Guardian Totem... Err, Guardian Beast, Heavenly Golden Dragon! But... How could it be here?!" Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy exclaimed in shock.
Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy tried to check it using basic [All Knowing Eyes], but it showed nothing.
Perfect Copy unhappily cursed her basic [All Knowing Eyes] in her mind for getting more and more useless.
Previously, her basic [All Knowing Eyes] could not even see the function or information of Crimson Treeâs seeds.
Even though Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy could not see the information of the Heavenly Golden Dragon with her basic [All Knowing Eyes], but she could guess that the Heavenly Golden Dragon in front of her should be a fake one.
âNo, it should not be called fake. This dragon truly contains a fraction of the Heavenly Golden Dragonâs power. If the real Heavenly Golden Dragon does not go crazy out there, this smaller fraction of it would have already sent the information about me infiltrating here, and the real Heavenly Golden Dragon would have already come here by now.â Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy concluded.
It could be said that Little Loki and Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy had accidentally chosen the most perfect time to ransack this Imperial Treasury.
ROOOOAAAARâ!
After failing to communicate with its real self, the fake Heavenly Golden Dragon decided to stop Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy and Little Loki by itself, so it fearlessly rushed toward them!
Perfect Copy hastily executed her [Moonlight Flickering Dance Step] plus [Wind Burst Step] to dodge Heavenly Golden Dragonâs attack!
BOOOOMâ!
The fake Heavenly Golden Dragonâs enormous tail slammed heavily toward where Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy had stood just now, but she was no longer there!
[Phantom Splitter] + [Black Lightning Form]â!
Little Lokiâs tiny black figure instantly split into dozens of streaks of black lightning!
BOOMâ! BOOMâ! BOOMâ! BOOMâ!
Dozens of destructive black lightning bolts struck the fake Heavenly Golden Dragonâs colossal body, but they could hardly do any damage to it!
"Wow, it is even more tankier than the giant kraken!" Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy commented in amazement.
The fake Heavenly Golden Dragon opened its mouth widely and...
WEEEEEEENGâ!
It actually shot a massive energy beam toward Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy and Little Loki!
"Holy crap..." Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy was caught completely off guard by the fake Heavenly Golden Dragonâs massive energy beam attack!
BOOOOOOOMâ!
The massive energy beam razed the entire arena to the ground!
The fake Heavenly Golden Dragon thought it had finally managed to disintegrate Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy and Little Loki with its attack.
"Fiuh... That was surely a close one~!" But Perfect Copyâs sweet melodious voice suddenly resounded right on the top of the fake Heavenly Golden Dragonâs head!
Yes, just before the fake Heavenly Golden Dragonâs massive energy beam almost hit Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy and Little Loki, she immediately activated [Shadow Striders]âs equipment skill, [Shadow Flash].
Previously, Tang Li Xue... and her perfect copy thought they would never need to use [Shadow Flash] again because they already had [Void Shrinking Step].
But just now, it had been proven that they were completely wrong.
Their current [Void Shrinking Step] still needed 1,5 to 2 seconds casting time after all, so at the most critical moment, they could not use it on time, so they could only rely on the [Shadow Flash], which had no casting time at all.
The fake Heavenly Golden Dragon had become angrier.
It probably thought: âHow dare these filthy thieves stand on my head?!â
The fake Heavenly Golden Dragon suddenly dived down until it crashed its huge head heavily onto the ground!
However, Tang Li Xue had already used [Void Shrinking Step] to move away from its head and stepped onto its enormous body instead!
[Moon Shattering Blast]â!
BOOOMâ!
Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy landed a heavy punch at the fake Heavenly Golden Dragonâs body!
An invisible and powerful destructive force spread from Perfect Copyâs fist, but it still failed to cause any significant damage to the fake Heavenly Golden Dragon!
"If one punch is not enough, then how about ten punches, or a hundred punches?! I do not believe I cannot take you down with my punches!" Perfect Copy shouted in annoyance.
Flurry of [Moon Shattering Blast]â!
BAAANGâ! BAAANGâ! BAAANGâ! BAAANGâ!
Perfect Copy threw rapid flurry punches toward the fake Heavenly Golden Dragonâs body!
ROOOOAAAARâ!
Even the fake Heavenly Golden Dragon finally could not stand it anymore and roared in pain!
The fake Heavenly Golden Dragon swirled its enormous body before it smashed the place where Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy had stood toward the ground!
BAAAANGâ!
But before she could be slammed onto the ground, Tang Li Xueâs perfect copy already used [Void Shrinking Step] to move to another place.
