My Optimized Immortal Life

Chapter 166 Cunning Beast

Compared to the horned elephant under it, the red flame fox was extremely thin, but Xu Lingxin would not underestimate it at all. This kind of monster was extremely cunning and there was even a record of it plotting to kill a foundation-building cultivator. Although Xu Lingxin was confident in her own strength, she did not want to fall into the hands of such a monster.

Her cultivation level far surpassed that of the Red Flame Fox, and the range of her spiritual awareness also far exceeded the Red Flame Fox's perception range. This resulted in her having discovered the Red Flame Fox, but the Red Flame Fox had not discovered her.

The enemy is bright and we are dark.

Xu Lingxin was suspended in mid-air, gathering all her magical powers. A ray of cold light streaked across the air and stopped beside her. It was the Hanshui Sword that had just killed the Green Light Eagle.

This Hanshui Sword was specially made for her by Chen Qing. Its grade was as high as the second-grade upper grade, which was comparable to the grade of Chen Qing's Chiyang Sword.

Using this spiritual weapon to deal with the Green Light Eagle can only be said to be a waste of talent.

But it is just right to deal with the red flame fox.

As Xu Lingxin thought so, her spiritual consciousness moved, and the Hanshui Sword immediately turned into a cold light, falling rapidly from mid-air, heading towards the group of beasts where the Red Flame Fox was.

The herd of dozens of first-level monsters is extremely large and very conspicuous in the mountains and forests.

At first glance, the two leading ones were two horned elephants. These monsters were huge in size and had tough fur. With a sweep of their two tusks, they could cut several trees in half, making them a powerful weapon for clearing the way.

Behind the horned elephant were a dozen iron-backed wolves. These monsters were much larger than the red-flame foxes, but still dwarfed compared to the horned elephants. However, there were many of them, and even a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of Qi training would find it difficult to deal with a dozen iron-backed wolves.

The dozen or so Iron-backed Wolves looked around and raised up a horned elephant in the center.

The red flame fox was lying on the back of the horned elephant. It was slender, about ten feet long, and fiery red, with a pair of animal eyes looking around.

Suddenly, the red flame fox stood up, raised its head high, and its pupils shrank slightly. The demonic energy emanating from its body surged and gathered in its mouth, then turned into a fireball the size of a human head, under its control.

A fireball spewed out of its mouth, flew high into the sky, and headed towards the rapidly falling cold light.

Xu Lingxin remained calm when she saw this.

However, the Hanshui Sword in the air suddenly turned, avoided the rising fireball, and continued to fall rapidly, heading straight for the Red Flame Fox standing on the horned elephant.

The surrounding Iron-backed Wolves and other monsters all felt the terrifying aura carried by the Hanshui Sword and immediately turned around and ran away to avoid being affected.

When the Red Flame Fox saw that its fireball was easily avoided by the cold light, there was a hint of panic in its eyes. It looked at the Cold Water Sword that was already in front of it, and suddenly it jumped up and jumped away from the horned elephant in a blink of an eye.

The horned elephant was huge in size, and faced with the extremely fast spiritual weapon like the flying sword, it had no way to hide and was hit by the cold water sword.

The fur that could withstand the bombardment of first-level spells without being hurt at all was instantly cut by the sword blade. The bones and muscles inside could not hinder the flying sword at all and were all separated.

Blood immediately gushed out from the wound like a spring. The horned elephant let out a mournful cry, and its huge body trembled.

The wound caused by the Cold Water Sword was not big for the entire body of the horned elephant, and the vitality of the monster beast was far greater than that of ordinary wild beasts, so the horned elephant did not die.

The Red Flame Fox that jumped to the side had already discovered Xu Lingxin.

The latter's magic power was connected with the Hanshui Sword. When the Red Flame Fox came into close contact with the Hanshui Sword, it immediately locked onto Xu Lingxin's position based on this magic power.

But at this time Xu Lingxin was standing high in the air, and the Red Flame Fox could not do anything to her at all.

The former had no choice but to roar, causing the surrounding Iron-backed Wolves and other monsters to scatter and flee in all directions.

Xu Lingxin stood high in the air, looking at the Red Flame Fox below who was commanding the beasts to disperse. He couldn't help but frown and controlled the Cold Water Sword to force the Red Flame Fox.

But the Red Flame Fox was extremely fast, and the surrounding environment was a mountain forest. It used the trees to jump up and down, and soon left the Cold Water Sword behind.

The Red Flame Fox is a demon beast, not a wild beast. Even wild beasts would know to run away when they encounter a beast stronger than themselves, let alone it.

Although the magical aura on Xu Lingxin's body is subtle, it will still be exposed when she drives the Hanshui Sword.

The magical energy of the late stage of foundation building stimulated the Red Flame Fox, which was only in the early second stage, so that it had no intention of fighting with Xu Lingxin at all, and turned around and fled.

This fox demon was extremely fast. With the help of the terrain, it escaped three or four hundred meters in just a few breaths. Although the Hanshui Sword was extremely fast, it was difficult to catch up with the fox demon in the mountains and forests.

Seeing this, Xu Lingxin moved, and with the help of her spiritual sense and the speed of escape at the late stage of foundation building, she slowly caught up with the fleeing Red Flame Fox.

The Hanshui Sword was recalled and put into the storage bag. Then Xu Lingxin mobilized his magic power, made a hand gesture and sprinkled it downwards.

Dozens of half-meter-long ice blades gathered in front of her and then shot down rapidly.

This is a first-level spell, the Ice Blade Technique. After Xu Lingxin's cultivation level broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, she can rely on her profound magic power to increase the number and power of the Ice Blade Technique, not to mention that the martial arts she practices are also cold-attributed.

The power of these ice blades shot downwards has reached the level of second-level spells.

The Red Flame Fox was originally dodging the pursuit of the Cold Water Sword quite easily, but unexpectedly, when Xu Lingxin saw that the Cold Water Sword could not threaten it, she immediately retracted the Cold Water Sword and switched to a spell bombardment.

Boom boom boom...

Dozens of ice blades covered the mountains and forests within a dozen meters around the Red Flame Fox. For a moment, the air was filled with cold air and the forest was covered in white frost.

Xu Lingxin stayed above this forest, and her spiritual awareness expanded rapidly, trying to take in all the situations in the forest.

Suddenly, a red light flashed in the forest below that was blocked by ice blades, and then flames ignited. The trees that had just been frozen by the ice blades were ignited in an instant. The red flame fox was covered in flames all over its body. It jumped up from a tree more than ten meters high at an astonishing speed. In a blink of an eye, it came in front of Xu Lingxin, waving its claws and heading straight towards Xu Lingxin.

Seeing this, Xu Lingxin did not panic. She quickly unfolded the protective spiritual shield, covering the area within one meter around her. The next moment, the red flame fox, with flames burning all over its body, suddenly slammed into the protective spiritual shield and turned into flames and dissipated.

Is this an illusion?

Xu Lingxin's eyes showed surprise. She used her spiritual sense to look again and saw that the Red Flame Fox had already run several hundred meters out of the frost-covered forest.

So cunning!

Xu Ling thought to herself, removed the protective spiritual shield, and immediately wanted to set off to chase the red flame fox that had already run hundreds of meters away.

But before she could move, the flames in the air that had originally dissipated suddenly surged, and a red flame fox emerged from the flames, quickly extending a pair of claws towards Xu Lingxin.

Xu Lingxin's face suddenly changed, and she was filled with fear. This Red Flame Fox was so cunning. It first attacked with an illusion, and then let another illusion run, creating the illusion that its real body had left here, and then suddenly launched an attack.

The place where the flames dissipated was only one meter away from Xu Lingxin. The body of the Red Flame Fox was ten feet long, and its claws were right in front of her eyes. Xu Lingxin had no way to avoid it.
