Chapter 464: Life or Death Situation!
The giant black tsunami of big leeches kept getting closer and closer to Tang Li Xue from behind, but Tang Li Xue patiently kept compressing the sharpest sword Qi and sword intent at the [Frost Swan Sword] in her grasp.
Just when the giant black tsunami of big leeches almost caught up to Tang Li Xue and swallowed her, she suddenly stopped running away and turned around to face it.
"You are hungry?! Then eat this, you disgusting things!" Tang Li Xue angrily shouted as she swung down the [Frost Swan Sword] in with all of her might.
[Paragon Sword Technique]... Perpetual Slash!
The sharpest sword Qi and sword intent accumulated at her [Frost Swan Sword] exploded when Tang Li Xue brandished it toward the giant black tsunami of big leeches!
Tang Li Xue's slash created a huge swirling sharp blades tempest made from the sharpest sword Qi and sword intent.
The huge tempest of sharp blades crashed head-on with the giant black tsunami of big leeches!
BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM~!!!
Tang Li Xue's [Perpetual Slash] mercilessly tore so many big leeches, but unfortunately, there were too many big leeches and Tang Li Xue's [Perpetual Slash] only managed to create a big hole at the giant black tsunami.
Those big leeches did not eat any blood yet so only black mucus that splattering out onto the muddy swamp after Tang Li Xue's [Perpetual Slash] shredded them.
But the big hole at the center of the giant black tsunami immediately closed in only a few moments.
Although Tang Li Xue's [Perpetual Slash] managed to slay hundreds of the big leeches at once, it was only like taking a bucket of water from the lake and would not affect them too much.
The power of Tang Li Xue's [Perpetual Slash] was devastatingly powerful as usual, but Tang Li Xue exhausted the entire Qi in her Dantian each time she used it.
Currently, Tang Li Xue was breathing heavily in exhaustion, and she felt her consciousness started to get blurred, but the bracelet on her wrist quickly shone with dim blue light, then her exhausted Qi quickly filled up again to normal.
Usually, Tang Li Xue would not even be able to move anymore after she executed her [Perpetual Slash], but thankfully, Tang Li Xue already have this [Qi storing Bracelet] now, so she could immediately replenish the exhausted Qi in her Dantian with the Qi that she already stored at her [Qi storing Bracelet] beforehand.
"Woah! This [Qi storing Bracelet] is truly an awesome treasure!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in astonishment.
'This [Qi storing Blacelet] can recharge my Qi for three times. So, it means I can use [Perpetual Slash] four times before I completely exhausted!' Tang Li Xue thought as she nodded in satisfaction.
Tang Li Xue did not wait for the giant black tsunami of big leeches to recover, and she already swiftly dashed several tens of meters away from them.
Tang Li Xue's [Perpetual Slash] might be terrifyingly powerful, but it could only hold back the giant black tsunami of big leeches for ten seconds or so.
Those big leeches still did not give up and quickly chased after Tang Li Xue again.
Moreover, that giant black tsunami of big leeches seems to possess a bit of intelligence because they started to split into several smaller hills and pursuit Tang Li Xue from different directions.
"What are they doing? What stupid leeches! If they split themselves like that, their speed will slow down a lot due to their smaller group size. Whatever... It means I can easily escape from..." Before Tang Li Xue could finish her mocking words, the entire muddy swamp already began to shake again.
RUMBLE... RUMBLE... RUMBLE... RUMBLE... RUMBLE...
Many more big leeches that sleep inside the swamp seem to awaken, and they began to gather into several small black hills too.
Some of them were approaching from Tang Li Xue's right and left sides, but most of them were approaching from in front of Tang Li Xue.
While the several smaller hills of big leeches split from the giant black tsunami kept chasing Tang Li Xue from behind.
"Damn it! I take back my words... So troublesome! There are just too many of them!" Tang Li Xue groaned and complained when she saw many small hills of big leeches came toward her from all directions.
Tang Li Xue took a deep breath as she raised the [Frost Swan Sword] in her grasp and infused her Qi into it.
Several small hills of big leeches greedily pounced toward Tang Li Xue from all directions to suck her blood, while Tang Li Xue suddenly spun her slender body and swung the [Frost Swan Sword] in her grasp rapidly in succession.
[Sword Art of Mystic Harmony], Repelling Spins!
PUFF... PUFF... PUFF... PUFF... PUFF... PUFF...
The [Frost Swan Sword] in Tang Li Xue's grasp easily cut tens of big leeches into pieces at once.
However, there were still so many big leeches that jumped toward her while she only has one sword in her grasp, so some of them managed to pass through Tang Li Xue's guard and bit onto her flesh.
"Owch! That's hurt! Don't touch me, you disgusting things!" Tang Li Xue angrily shouted with a tone filled with disgust as she quickly brandished the [Frost Swan Sword] in her grasp again.
[Supreme Speed Sword Style], Rapid Quick Slashes!
This [Rapid Quick Slashes] was several times much faster than [Repelling Spins], but it was fully focused on offense while [Repelling Spins] was fully focused on defense.
When Tang Li Xue executed this [Rapid Quick Slashes], she swung the [Frost Swan Sword] in her grasp as fast as she could and as much as she could to dealt as much damage to the enemies.
Tang Li Xue cut more and more big leeches that tried to attack her, but their number seems did not decrease at all... On the contrary, their number increased faster than Tang Li Xue could kill.
Little Loki that idly sat on Tang Li Xue's right shoulder all this time already stood up and was ready to assist Tang Li Xue if she fell into a life-threatening dangerous situation later.
Little Loki already wanted to help Tang Li Xue right now, but just thinking of swallowing so many of these disgusting leeches already made Little Loki want to puke.
Well... It might even lose its appetite for several months if he swallowed them...
So, Little Loki, the picky eater, was unwilling to lower itself by swallowing these disgusting leeches, so it decided to wait until the last moment when Tang Li Xue urgently needed its assistance.
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue got more and more anxious as the number of big leeches that attacking her kept increasing exponentially.
Tang Li Xue must admit that the current 'divide and conquer' tactic of these big leeches was greatly overwhelmed her rather than when these big leeches gathered into one giant black tsunami.
Several big leeches already bit and stuck at her legs, shoulders, and arms.
They refused to let go and kept sucking on Tang Li Xue's blood until Tang Li Xue cut them off.
But even after Tang Li Xue cut them off, the other big leeches would bit and stuck onto her again.
"This is really bad! They will certainly suck all of my blood until I become a dried corpse if it keeps going on like this. I should quickly get away from here! Urgh..." Tang Li Xue muttered as she gnashed her teeth to suppress her anxiousness.
She kept cutting and repelling away all of the big leeches that attacking her while kept running with her [Snow Dance Step] to pass this horrifying swamp as soon as possible.
It did not take long for Tang Li Xue's body to be riddled with many injuries because of the big leeches' bite.
Thankfully, Tang Li Xue's excellent equipment such as [Arcane Tunic], [Critical Strikers], and [Shadow Striders] protected some parts of her body.
Her fresh blood was flowing out profusely and dripping onto the muddy swamp, and it made the other hungry big leeches became even more frenzied.
'Please... Hold on a bit longer, my body... Just a bit longer, and we can get out from...' Tang Li Xue tried to encourage herself to lessen the pain from her wounds, but then she suddenly felt dizzy and weak because her wounds were bleeding too much, and the big leeches were already sucking so much of her blood too.
Tang Li Xue stumbled forward, and she almost dropped her knee to the muddy swamp under her feet that was already frozen because of the effect from [Snow Dance Step].
The countless big leeches that surrounded Tang Li Xue would never miss this moment!
They immediately jumped toward Tang Li Xue at once and completely drowned Tang Li Xue's slender figure in one move!
CRACK... CRACK... CRACK... CRACK... CRACK...
The frozen water under Tang Li Xue's feet could no longer support the combined weight of Tang Li Xue and those big leeches.
SPLOOOOSSSSHHHH~!!!
Tang Li Xue fell onto the muddy water as her slender figure was wrapped by so many big leeches from head to toe.
'Is this the end? Am I going to die here?' Tang Li Xue thought as her consciousness started to become blurry.
Little Loki still frowned in unwillingness, but it finally opened its mouth when it sensed that Tang Li Xue almost lost her consciousness, and many big leeches already started to bite her flesh to suck her blood.
Just when Little Loki wanted to devour all big leeches into its mouth, something unexpected suddenly happened!
Little Loki suddenly sensed a terrifying aura exploded out from Tang Li Xue as she slowly opened her topaz blue eyes again, so Little Loki decided to wait for a while and see what Tang Li Xue would do next in this crucial situation.
Actually, Tang Li Xue suddenly felt her consciousness became clear in that instant. Even Tang Li Xue did not know the reason why it happened.
A faint white light was shining from the deepest of Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes as she slowly thought: 'What is this? Why are there so many white lines?'
In front of Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes, there were so many white lines.
Each of those white lines seems to come out from every big leech.
The countless white lines coming from countless big leeches were connected and congregated into one place.
