Tang Li Xue shook both of her palms to ease the pain and relieved the numb sensation on both of her arms.
But she did not dare to remain idle for too long since it would be bad if the fourth crystal puppet attacked her again when she lowered guard a bit.
Tang Li Xue immediately decided to use her [Water Mirage] again to confuse the fourth crystal puppet and used it to buy her enough time to peek at the mysterious ancient murals where this fourth crystal puppet came out from!
In only a few moments, Tang Li Xue's slender figure was split into four, then from four to eight, and so on…
After Tang Li Xue's [Water Mirages] was split into twenty-four identical figures of Tang Li Xue, they started to run in random directions to confuse the fourth crystal puppet.
The fourth crystal puppet still looked calm as ever as it grasped the hilt of its sheathed crystal sword.
Then the fourth crystal puppet vanished again in that instant…
SWISH… SWISH… SWISH… SWISH… SWISH…
Tang Li Xue could not even see any of the fourth crystal puppet's moves or how it unsheathed its sword.
She could only see most of her [Water Mirages] suddenly cut in two in an instant.
PUFF… PUFF… PUFF… PUFF… PUFF… PUFF…
Most of her [Water Mirages] burst out like bubbles and turned back to the water.
Tang Li Xue gnashed her teeth and dashed toward the mysterious ancient murals again.
Of course, the fourth crystal puppet would not let her approach the mysterious ancient murals.
Its figure flashed once again as it swung its sword toward Tang Li Xue's neck from behind!
However, Tang Li Xue suddenly ducked down and rolled forward on the ground.
Her posture was really embarra.s.sing and unsightly, but she could not afford to worry about that since her life was at stake right now.
Just like Tang Li Xue had predicted, her unexpected movement was really caught the fourth crystal puppet off guard.
The fourth crystal puppet's sword pa.s.sed few millimeters above Tang Li Xue's head, and it only managed to cut a few strands of her silver hair.
Tang Li Xue knew that her disgraceful moves could only buy her one or two seconds at most, so she quickly took a peek at the mysterious ancient murals to get some crucial clues on how to defeat the fourth crystal puppet.
[In martial art, speed is everything.]
[If you can move and attack faster than your opponent, you can kill your opponent before they can even do anything.]
[Therefore, speed always determines the winner!]
[Martial art that focused on speed... Abandon everything to obtain the supreme speed]…
[Cut your opponent before they cut you]…
[Kill your opponent before they kill you]…
[Supreme Speed Sword Style]…
Tang Li Xue's pink lips twitched violently again while thinking: 'These four sword martial arts… are powerful, but they are really strange, right? Each of them has a glaring fatal flaw. I wonder if the owner of this Crystal Palace Tomb deliberately makes it like that…'
The first sword technique was the super offensive style sword technique that abandoned all defense.
The second sword technique was the super defensive style sword that could only defend, waiting for the opponent to attack, and then counterattack.
The third sword technique was the sword art focused on sharpening sword intent to cut through everything, but the moves were too simple.
The current fourth sword technique might look the most overpowered amongst all, but it actually has the biggest flaw compared to the other three sword technique.
In short, this fourth sword technique did not have anything worth mentioning other than its super speed.
The moves were too simple… Even simpler than the third sword technique…
The accuracy of this fourth sword technique will also fall greatly when it moves at high speed…
The strength of this fourth sword technique was also average at best, and the defense was nonexistent.
Tang Li Xue was quite lucky since if not for that biggest flaw, this fourth crystal puppet should already kill her with its first attack.
After looking at the pictures of the fourth sword techniques on the murals, Tang Li Xue sighed in relief and was no longer afraid to face it like before.
"Sigh... Unfortunately, I cannot use my [Energy Manipulation] divine ability here. If not for that, defeating the fourth crystal puppet would be much easier…" Tang Li Xue muttered as she stood up facing the fourth crystal puppet.
When the fourth crystal puppet touched the hilt of its sword again, Tang Li Xue instantly knew that it would attack her again, and she swiftly took out something from her s.p.a.ce pouch.
Just like Tang Li Xue had predicted, the figure of the fourth crystal puppet vanished once again in an instant.
From the start of their battle until now, Tang Li Xue could not even see this fourth crystal puppet unsheathed its sword. The moment it touched the hilt of its sword, it vanished from her view in an instant, and after the fourth crystal puppet attacked her, its sword already sheathed back into its scabbard.
But this time, Tang Li Xue already prepared for that this time.
She already knew from the mysterious ancient murals that the sword techniques of this fourth crystal puppet have only consisted of the quick draw and swift slash like cutting gra.s.s.
The sword techniques were completely lacking in variety which was the reason why Tang Li Xue's head was still on her neck until now.
When the fourth crystal puppet flashed toward her, Tang Li Xue quickly squatted down to dodge the fourth crystal puppet's sword attack while throwing something from below.
[Blood Sealing Chain]!
Tang Li Xue randomly threw out her [Blood Sealing Chain] from below.
Just like what she had predicted, the fourth crystal puppet was moving too fast, so it did not have enough time to dodge it!
BAAANG~!!!
The [Blood Sealing Chain] tangled the fourth crystal puppet's feet when its feet accidentally b.u.mped onto the [Blood Sealing Chain].
Because it moved with its top speed, the fourth crystal puppet's body was thrown forward like a cannonball when its feet suddenly got bound by [Blood Sealing Chain].
BBBOOOOOOOOOOM~!!!
The head of the fourth crystal puppet crashed heavily onto the crystal wall and shattered into tiny pieces of crystal along with its body.
Tang Li Xue widened her eyes in surprise. She never thought that the fourth crystal puppet would be destroyed in such a comical way.
"Sigh... At last... With this, I should have managed to pa.s.s the second trial. I hope the third trial would not be this hard." Tang Li Xue sighed in relief.
Tang Li Xue planned to take some rest for one or two days to recover her exhausted mind, body, Qi, and stamina before taking the third trial, but something unbelievable was happening in front of her eyes.
"This is... im...possible..." Tang Li Xue slowly muttered in disbelief as she saw four crystal puppets jumped out at once from the four ancient murals engraved on the four crystal walls.
"No way! You are kidding me, right?! Are you saying that I must fight with four puppets at once now to pa.s.s this trial?! This is insane!" Tang Li Xue said with an anxious and panicked tone.
Tang Li Xue gritted her teeth and quickly dashed toward the nearest crystal wall and quickly touched the ancient murals engraved on it.
*Ding!
[Do you want to comprehend Sword Art of Mystic Harmony with cost 75 Deity Coins? Yes/No]
This [Sword Art of Mystic Harmony] was the sword technique of the second crystal puppet.
Tang Li Xue could actually comprehend all four sword techniques engraved on the four ancient murals and used the flaw from each sword technique to easily defeat each crystal puppet.
But she did not want to waste any of her Deity Coins to learn any of it! That was the reason why she decided to defeat the four crystal puppets in such roundabout ways.
Unfortunately, she has no more choice right now.
Facing the four crystal puppets at once head-on without exploiting their flaw was the same as tantamount to suicide!
"YES!" Tang Li Xue confirmed without hesitation.
Tang Li Xue closed her eyes as the information about [Sword Art of Mystic Harmony] rushed into her mind in that instant.
This [Sword Art of Mystic Harmony] was quite profound, but it was still simpler and easier to understand than [Four Mythical Guardian Beast Art].
The peculiar sharpness flashed on the deep of her topaz blue eyes.
Tang Li Xue suddenly turned around and stretched her right hand.
Right at that timing, the fourth crystal puppet's super fast sword attack came toward her.
When the fourth crystal puppet's sword flew swiftly above Tang Li Xue's right hand, she suddenly spun her right hand upward, and the super-fast sword suddenly flew uncontrollably upward. The movement track of the sword formed large L.
BBBAAAAAAAANNNGGG~!!!
The fourth crystal puppet was moving too fast, so it could not react fast enough, and its body crashed to Tang Li Xue.
However, Tang Li Xue already prepared for that and pushed her left elbow forward, so when the fourth crystal puppet crashed onto her, her left elbow successfully struck it and made it flew backward for several meters.
Tang Li Xue became dumbfounded and muttered in shock: "This [Sword Art of Mystic Harmony] is awesome!"
If she held a sword in her right or left hand, this fourth crystal puppet should have already split in two by her by now.
Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue did not have any time to feel happy since the first crystal puppet and third crystal puppet already brandished their sword toward her in unison.
