Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!-Chapter 449 - 438: Luring the Enemy into the Trap

Shen Tang was handling governmental affairs in the study when suddenly a warning from the system echoed in her mind.

[Host, run quickly, danger is approaching!]

Almost simultaneously.

"Whoosh—"

An arrow shattered through the window.

Since Shen Tang regained her S-grade spiritual power, her senses had become keener than before. She swiftly evaded the attack, rapidly gathering a Spirit Blade, and launched it towards the attacker!

Behind the tree, the Shadow Beast’s face changed drastically. It quickly dodged and drew its bow to shoot another arrow.

Shen Tang was speechless with anger, inwardly cursing: Ever since I sat in this position, there hasn’t been a day of peace. If it’s not war here and battle there, it’s encountering assassins daily!

She brandished her Spirit Blade, severing the arrow, and suddenly vanished.

"...Where? Where did she disappear to?"

The Beastman panicked. A moment later, a strong gust blew behind him. Shen Tang suddenly appeared at his back, kicking him down from the tree.

The moment the Beastman fell to the ground, several Earth Spikes burst forth, piercing his body.

"Ah—"

The Beastman endured the pain, trying to escape.

Earth walls erupted around him, encircling him.

The Beastman punched the earth wall fiercely, only to find it steadfast and unshakable!

This time, he was truly panicked, unable to believe it.

He was a powerful Ninth Rank Beastman, yet he couldn’t breach the earth wall’s defenses, indicating the opponent was definitely more powerful than him... This female actually possessed the Ninth Rank Earth Element Ability — how is this possible?!

The Beastman’s disdain turned into shock and fear. Knowing he was in trouble, he instantly turned into a shadow, slipping through the earth wall.

Shen Tang raised an eyebrow in surprise; he could become a shadow — what was his background? It seemed physical attacks were ineffective, so she resorted to a Spirit Attack.

In her palm, she gathered a Spiritual Power Bow and Arrow, drawing the bow and shooting an arrow that pierced deeply into his thigh, pinning him to the ground.

"Ah!" The Beastman grimaced in pain, stumbling as he fled, throwing a ball of superpower towards Shen Tang.

Shen Tang’s form disappeared again, severing the ancient tree and hammock behind her.

Fu Teng was terrified, burrowing into the earth, playing dead. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In the Beastman’s terrified sight, Shen Tang appeared in front of him, with a powerful punch infused with Earth Power, knocking him down, Earth Spikes burst forth, piercing his limbs, pinning him in place. She gathered her utmost spiritual power attack, forming a Spirit Blade, stabbing into his chest!

"Crack—" A crisp sound echoed.

The Energy Crystal Core shattered.

The Shadow Beast’s breath ceased, dying with open eyes.

Shen Tang’s face was solemn. Just as she relaxed, she didn’t notice the shadow behind her come to life, its crimson hollow eyes opening, its wide mouth laughing, "Give me the body!"

The shadow detached from the entity, floated, and wrapped its arms around Shen Tang’s leg, biting it!

"Ah!" Shen Tang cursed in fright, "Damn!"

In an instant, the surrounding was swiftly engulfed by shadows, the courtyard disappeared, turning the vision pitch black. Shen Tang was dragged into some domain, black mire surged underfoot, pinning her in place.

In the thick shadow mire, a black and teal gigantic shape slowly surfaced, an eerie Nine-tailed Black Fox!?

The formidable, terrifying Tenth Rank pressure poured down like a tide, squeezing her heart tight like giant hands, rendering breath difficult, her face turned as pale as paper!

Shen Tang was extremely frightened. She wanted to run but couldn’t move.

"Today, you must die!" The Black Fox spoke, forming a Dark Ball Energy with its mouth, spewing it out.

"Boom—!"

Shen Tang grit her teeth, building both earth walls and Spiritual Shield, bead-sized sweat rolled down her pale face. The double barriers trembled violently under the energy surge, cracks rapidly spreading like a spider web.

Not expecting the opponent’s casual attack, she struggled to resist with all her strength.

Damn it, what the heck is this creepy thing?!

The Black Fox eyed her with rare interest, seemingly surprised that the weak female could withstand its attack. It lost patience, launched another strike from its mouth.

Within the seemingly usual energy wave, a delicate black needle was concealed!

Where the needle tip passed, even the air was corroded into twisting cracks, directly aiming at her heart.

In a critical moment, nine fiery tails manifested behind her, forming a shield.

But the opponent’s attack was fierce; even the Blood Soul Pearl’s power couldn’t resist for long. The needle carried immense terrifying energy, enough to cause the Nine-tailed shadows to crack!

Shen Tang was urgently trying, struggling against the mire, using spiritual power again to form a barrier, hoping to hang on longer.

However, the power was too strong. As the barrier was about to shatter, a fiery figure charged into sight.

Shen Li stood in front of her, gathering vast power like an ocean, forming an unbreakable shield, yet the Green Lotus Needle’s attack continued unstopped.

Once the Green Lotus Needle is fired, it won’t retract until it draws blood.

Shen Li’s right hand lost strength, the Green Lotus Needle pierced through the energy barrier, impaling his palm.

"Pfft!"

In the dull sound of blade piercing bone and flesh, blood splattered out as Shen Li groaned, grasping with his left hand, countless blood beads formed into crimson lines, violently pulling the vicious tool back into his palm.

His injured right hand drooped weakly, slightly curled and trembling, blood dripped continuously from his clearly defined fingers onto the ground.

"You’re injured!"

Shen Tang wanted to heal him but was pushed back by Shen Li, his voice icy, "Retreat! This is none of your business."

He lifted his gaze towards the Black Fox, grasping his injured wrist tightly, his palm exuded more blood, which transformed into countless crimson threads splattering in the air. The next second, he suddenly knelt, slamming the ground—

"Boom!"

The entire Shadow Domain shattered at the sound, disintegrating like a broken black mirror.

The Black Fox tilted its head at him, elongated pupils seemingly reflecting a trace of shock, this Emperor wasn’t the imagined weakness due to illness.

But, regardless, they must die today.

"Your Majesty, pardon me."

The Black Fox launched another assault, no longer in a playful cat-and-mouse manner; its pressure overwhelmed, Shen Tang was flung to the ground, clutching her torso, pain twisting her visage.

The last time she felt such pressure, it was facing Necro!

This strange Nine-tailed Black Fox was released by the Yiyuan Empire?

It’s not following Shen Li’s orders?

A killing tool sent by other families?

She truly underestimated the Yiyuan Empire, a Nine-tailed Fox Family could release such terrifying beasts, other noble families might not be far behind; Yiyuan Empire’s true strength might surpass the rebel army’s!

Shen Li and the Black Fox engaged in a fierce battle, upheaving heaven and earth, nearly overturning the house.

Fearful of being caught in the crossfire, Shen Tang teleported to safety, stunned watching the increasingly intense battle afar.

Scarlet golden flames and black flames intertwined and wrapped, laying waste to the entire courtyard and surrounding areas, igniting fiery blaze and dense black smoke.

Purchasing new grains in the city, Jia Lan turned seeing thick black smoke in the direction of home, stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, the next second his face altered, swiftly running back.

"Tangtang... cough, cough, are you okay?" Jia Lan pulled her into his arms, building an ice wall to block the scorching dense smoke.

He wiped the black dust off her face, "What’s happening?"

"Someone tried to assassinate me, seemed they were also here for Shen Li. I’m unclear." Shen Tang explained the whole sequence.

Soon, Qiu Yang arrived to help.

The trio of Tenth Rank Beastmen engaged, unleashed powerful energy waves, the entire courtyard ravaged, rendered uninhabitable.

Shen Tang was heartbroken, all the documents in her study destroyed, three foxes fighting tore her home apart! Such unwarranted disaster!

Jia Lan comforted, "Anyway, the Imperial Palace is completed, planning to choose an auspicious day to move, seems no need to wait."

As the battle intensified, the Shadow Fox realized something amiss, Shen Li wasn’t severely injured or weak, his strength restored. Belatedly aware, perhaps it was a trap!
