Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

"Distract them!"

Lu Lingxi's calm voice rang out amidst the chaotic battle. Her longsword danced like the wind, and her sharp sword energy forced back several shadow guards. Her gaze quickly swept around, trying to find a breakthrough in the encirclement.

"Phantom Moon, Phantom Shadow, Vermilion Bird, obey my command!" Lu Lingxi's voice carried an undeniable air of authority. "Phantom Moon, use your speed advantage to break through from the right flank and draw some of the Shadow Guards' fire!"

"Understood, Master!" Huan Yue replied without hesitation, her figure blurring as she transformed into a swift gust of wind and charged towards the group of shadow guards on the right.

The power of wind and fire condensed around him, forming a blazing whirlwind that instantly engulfed several shadow guards, forcing them to be distracted and deal with the situation.

"Phantom, in coordination with Phantom Moon, create a fog to disrupt their vision!" Lu Lingxi Yao continued to give the order.

"Yes, Master!"

In response, the phantom quickly formed hand seals, and emerald green light surged from her palms, merging into the surrounding trees. In an instant, thick black mist rose from the ground, rapidly spreading and obscuring everyone's vision, also enveloping the shadow guard's figure within it.

"Suzaku, take off and be on alert. Pay attention to aerial movements. If any new enemies are spotted, issue a warning immediately!"

Lu Lingxi looked at Zhuque with a hint of worry in her voice. Zhuque was still injured, but at this moment she had no choice but to take on the task of guarding.

"Don't worry, Master!"

With a cry, the Vermilion Bird spread its magnificent wings and transformed into a streak of fiery red light, soaring into the sky and circling above the dense forest, its sharp eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

Lu Lingxi took a deep breath and turned her gaze to Zhu Yin. "Zhu Yin, you'll be with me. Be careful and protect yourself."

"Don't worry, Miss Lu Ling, I will do my best."

Zhu Yin spoke gently, gripping his bamboo flute tightly, his expression becoming serious. Although he was not good at fighting, his medical skills were an indispensable safeguard during his escape.

"Okay, let's go!"

At Lu Lingxi Yao's command, she was the first to rush into the mist. The nine elements of spiritual power flowed around her, and the spatial spiritual power surged quietly, forming a barely perceptible spatial ripple in front of her.

Wherever the ripples passed, space seemed to be briefly distorted, making the surrounding environment blurry and greatly interfering with the Shadow Guard's perception.

This is the first method Lu Lingxi Yao prepared for her escape plan—spatial distortion. Although with her current strength, she cannot distort space for a long time or on a large scale, creating short-term, small-scale spatial interference is enough to confuse the Shadow Guards and buy them precious time to escape.

Huan Yue charged ahead like an arrow released from a bow. His speed was as fast as lightning, and he moved freely through the dense forest, almost becoming a blurry afterimage.

The shadow guards who were attracted by him, despite their formidable strength, were unable to catch his trail for a while due to the combined interference of the fog and spatial distortion. They could only rely on their vague senses to pursue him in the direction where Huan Yue had fled.

The phantom followed closely behind, continuously releasing more mist, making the surrounding fog increasingly dense and reducing visibility to extremely low levels.

The pursuing shadow guards, in the pitch-black fog, not only had their vision severely limited, but their sense of direction also began to become confused, greatly reducing the speed and efficiency of their pursuit.

Lu Lingxi and Zhu Yin followed closely behind the phantom, using the mist as cover to quickly traverse the dense forest. She remained vigilant at all times, gripping her long sword tightly, ready to deal with any possible emergencies.

Her consciousness was highly focused, keenly sensing everything around her; no slightest movement could escape her perception.

The Vermilion Bird circled high in the sky, its fiery red figure standing out against the night. Its sharp eyes, like those of a hawk, constantly scanned the dense forest below. If it spotted any Shadow Guards trying to bypass the fog encirclement or any new enemies joining the pursuit, it would immediately let out a sharp cry as a warning.

Thanks to Lu Lingxi's meticulous planning and the tacit cooperation of everyone, they successfully broke through the Shadow Guards' first encirclement and temporarily escaped the danger of being besieged.

However, Lu Lingxi knew in her heart that the Shadow Guards of the Dark Star Pavilion would never give up the pursuit easily, and an even more intense offensive was likely to follow.

"Master, Sister Zhuque seems to be a little weak..." Huan Yue's voice, tinged with worry, reached Lu Lingxi Yao's ears as she ran.

Lu Lingxi's heart sank. She also sensed the change in Zhuque's aura. In order to protect her, Zhuque disregarded his injuries and fought hard, which put a great burden on her body.

"Zhuque, how are you? Can you still hold on?" Lu Lingxi Yao communicated with Zhuque telepathically as she ran, her tone full of concern.

"Don't worry, Master, I'm fine... I'm just a little exhausted..." Suzaku's voice sounded weak, but her tone remained firm, "I will hold on until the very end!"

"Don't push yourself!" Lu Lingxi said with concern. "If you really can't hold on, go back to Kunlun Ring to rest. Leave the next guard duty to me and Huanyue Huanying."

"No, Master!" Suzaku refused resolutely. "These are critical times, I cannot back down! Besides... I can still be of help!"

Zhuque's persistence touched Lu Lingxi Yao, but at the same time it made her even more worried. She knew that Zhuque was stubborn and would never give up easily once she decided to do something.

Although Lu Lingxi Yao is an alchemist, she has consumed too many pills in recent days. Coincidentally, she has run out of pills to restore spiritual energy, and there is no time to refine more now.

“Zhu Yin,” Lu Lingxi Yao slowed her pace, approached Zhu Yin, and asked softly, “Do you have any pills that can quickly restore spiritual power? Zhu Que consumed a lot of spiritual power to protect us and needs to replenish it as soon as possible.”

“I have some Spirit Recovery Pills here. Although they are not of high grade, they should be able to temporarily alleviate the Vermilion Bird’s spiritual energy consumption.” Upon hearing this, Zhu Yin immediately took out an exquisite jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to Lu Lingxi Yao. “Miss Lu Ling, please take a look and see if you can use it.”

Lu Lingxi took the jade bottle, opened the stopper, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out. Inside the bottle were several round and plump pills, radiating a soft glow.

"Thank you!" Lu Lingxi said gratefully, taking out two pills and sending them to Zhuque with her mind, "Zhuque, quickly take these two pills to replenish your spiritual power."

Zhuque did not refuse and immediately took the pill. The pill melted in her mouth, and a warm energy quickly nourished her tired body and replenished her consumed spiritual power. After taking the pill, Zhuque's aura indeed recovered, and her originally weak voice became stronger.

"Much better, Master!" Zhuque's voice carried a hint of joy. "These pills are really effective!"

"Zhu Yin, your pills are excellent!" Lu Lingxi Yao exclaimed sincerely, her gratitude towards Zhu Yin growing even stronger.

"Miss Lu, you flatter me. They are just some ordinary pills!"
