Chapter 24
Fu Tan landed on the ground on his back, coughing out blood. His bones got cracked because of that fall.
“Tan!” Fu Murong’s eyes widened as she rushed toward her husband. Seeing his condition, Shen Xui’s eyes widened.
“I shouldn’t have let her leave.”
She growled and instantly dashes toward the Treasury Elder. The elder was pushed several meters back but she wasn’t injured. But seeing Shen Xui, she released her true essence into her fist and formed a sword made out of golden true essence.
Shen Xui channeled her true essence into her fist and boosted her physical strength. She slammed her fist against that golden sword.
Bang!
The collision released the golden sparks and struck both of them but both had barriers to block those sparks. They were solely focused on breaking each other’s offense.
And, the power of the collision started swiping away everything around them until Shen Xui’s fist broke the sword. It crumbled into pieces and her fist managed to strike the Treasury Elder, sending her flying.
Bang! Thud!
Her body collided against the tree and fell to the ground. But, as soon as she fell, Shen Xui rushed toward her. Her speed was incredible but when she stepped in front of the Treasury Elder, she found a talisman under a step.
Boom!
The next moment, the talisman exploded as the Treasury Elder flew away from the impact while Shen Xui fell in the middle of the explosion.
While she was inside the flames, Treasury Elder stood up and took out dozens of talismans from her spatial.
“Talisman of Lightning Bolt” “Talisman of Fireball” “Talisman of Water Sword” “Talisman of Earth’s Cage” “Talisman of Hurricane”
She shot all of the talismans towards her while infusing an immense amount of true essence into it. As she threw all of those at the flames, the first one that struck was a lightning bolt. The talisman flew towards the sky and conjured a powerful bolt of lightning.
As the paper turned to dust, the lightning bolt struck straight towards the flames.
Bang!
But, it didn’t end there. The massive fireball fell towards the flames a few seconds later.
Boom!
The collision of the flames created a massive explosion. And, the next one to fall down was nothing because the talisman was on the ground already. The ground around her transformed into four walls cage and started shrinking until all four parts collided with each other.
Bang!
After that, the flames started encircling as the hurricane made the fire tornado. All this while Shen Xui was still stuck inside. She wasn’t even making an effort to escape.
Soon after the hurricane, the water sword split the entire hurricane in half but when it reached the middle, it stopped. It couldn’t slash to the bottom.
Splash!
The next moment, a jade hand broke the water sword into pieces and the water splashed all over the flames, extinguishing all of it.
Whoosh!
Shen Xui’s body dashed out of the water as she advanced toward the Treasury Elder. The funny thing was she wasn’t even scratched after all that.
“How? How are you not hurt?”
Even though she was a Monster Emperor, those talismans cost her a fortune. She couldn’t; believe that it didn’t even make a scratch.
“Nine Tail Secret Art- First Tail”
“Power of Herculean!”
Shen Xui screamed and her true essence exploded out. It flowed through her veins as she went straight towards Treasury Elder and struck her True Essence Barrier.
Bang!
Bam! Bang! Bang! Thud!
Her fist simply shattered the barrier and struck her so hard that she broke through two trees and finally fell to the ground after colliding with the third one.
“Gah!”
Treasury Elder coughed out blood upon hitting the ground. She could feel some of her bones being broken from that strike.
She slowly raised her head and saw Shen Xui standing in front of her with a deadly expression. Her mood was completely darkened and there was a tail swinging behind her.
It was one white fluffy tail but the cuteness was no longer there. All she could feel was an immense killing intent from her.
Shen Xui raised her fist and slammed it towards the ground.
Bang! Poof!
But, a golden shield appeared above her body as it shield Treasury Elder from that devastating attack but it also bent the golden shield. She hurriedly took out a talisman and infused her true essence. The talisman released a massive fog of clouds and until Shen Xui could wipe away the fog, she was already gone.
“You can’t escape from me!”
Shen Xui roared and her eyes turned red.
“Second Tail- Speed of Mercury!”
Whoosh! 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢
The next moment she only left the trial of fog as she chased after the Treasury Elder. There is no way she could let her live especially after learning about her relationships with Fu Family.
Shen Xui quickly caught up to the Treasury Elder. Seeing this, Treasury Elder panicked and shot out a sword. It was a Peak-Tier Weapon. It went straight towards Shen Xui’s head.
Seeing this, she suddenly decided to dodge it and slam its hilt. And, she did it. After she smashed its hilt, the sword swung a few times until it struck the tree and got stuck there.
“Damn!”
Treasury Elder cursed when she realized what Shen Xui had just done. She was trying to keep that sword rather than damaging it. And, the way she did it made her feel worse.
After all, her speed was almost as if she was air. Shen Xui took out armor and wore it. She also summoned another True Essence barrier and just kept on running.
Seeing her action, Shen Xui narrowed her eyes and showed her bare teeth. Those two upper teeth were sticking out the most. Her body transformed into half-fox as she was still running on her two legs.
She jumped on and opened her mouth.
Whoosh! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Her mouth released a stream of ice that struck Treasury Elder’s armor and froze her into ice. But that didn’t end there. Shen Xui kept advancing until she reached near her and slammed a fist.
Bang! Crack! Crack! Crack!
Her fist turned the ice into chunks of ice and broke her barrier alongside her armor.
“Argh!”
Treasury Elder screamed when her fist struck her back. One second she was frozen and the next second she got smashed. No matter how much she tried to defend herself, she couldn’t stop her strikes.
Shen Xui jumped and grabbed her head, smashing her to the ground.
The blood splattered from her broken nose and face. But, she took out a mirror and struck out a stream of true essence. This stream was so powerful it flew Shen Xui.
But, when it hit her, Shen Xui had already transformed into a complete fox and there were two tails behind her. Not to mention, that strike only send her flying but didn’t cause any damage at all.
Roar!
Shen Xui instantly landed on the ground and dashed towards her with an insane speed. But finally, with no choice in her hand, Treasury Elder took out a talisman and her body just vanished.
“Damn! She had a teleportation talisman.” Shen Xui cursed as she didn’t sense her with her spiritual sense. Losing her could become deadly, especially now.
On the one hand, she can’t leave Fu Family, on other hand, her existence threatens their safety. She transformed back to her normal form and deactivated her bloodline.
Her body suddenly lost its balance as she fell to one knee for a moment but she quickly controlled herself and walked away. Using the bloodline for the first time allowed her to use the secret art of the Fox Race.
But, it also cost her a lot of stamina. She was barely able to walk. As she passed by the same route, she spotted that same sword. She took the sword and went towards Fu Family.
At this moment, Fu Murong was taking care of Fu Tan. She had covered his bleeding her the clothes she could find.
When she saw Shen Xui arriving, she got excited.
“How is he?” Shen Xui asked. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
“The bones in his back are broken but except that, he is fine.” Fu Murong bitterly swallowed her tears and didn’t cry. She knew their fate wasn’t going to be easy.
But, it still hurts to see her husband in such a state.
“Let’s take a rest for a few hours and then leave this place. She sent the signal to others. They will arrive soon.” Shen Xui fell on her butt and tried to rest.
Fu Murong looked at her husband and bites her teeth.
“I can lift both of you with my true essence. I just need a little rest.” Shen Xui said while laying down. She decided not to tell about their enemy’s escape.
She knew how worried they will be if they knew their son will be in a trouble. All she can do now is hope that Fu Chen will figure out a way to survive.
Because if she leaks this news to others, then he could be in deep trouble especially when it is involving the matters of the Monster Emperor who has awakened her bloodline.
