Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 681 - 65: Does the Phoenix Die or Not?
The situation on the battlefield changed with Tang's departure.
Seeing the troublesome Nuwa Emperor no longer shielded, Taowu was overjoyed and immediately launched an attack.
Although the Mirror Eye had broken one of its arms, its unique physique significantly boosted its combat values in all aspects.
But Bai Mansheng was not panicked; she easily gathered a massive glacier.
Even if Taowu shattered those glaciers in the next second, it was always a beat slower than Bai Mansheng.
Compared to the other beasts, Taowu had the ability to grow stronger with each injury and battle, but it lacked elemental control.
Bai Mansheng knew she was no match for Taowu, but she did not need to defeat it; she was waiting for Tang Xian.
Whether it was herself or the elemental fog, it might affect the odds, but the real decider of the victory would still be Tang Xian.
She didn't believe such a tough guy would get caught in a web!
[This Taowu, truly foolish to the extreme.]
The Mysterious Bird thought Taowu would quickly overpower the enemy, only to find that Bai Mansheng was stalling, using the ice as a barricade, constantly restraining Taowu.

However, the Mysterious Bird wasn't in a hurry either; it had noticed that Bai Mansheng was struggling against Taowu. Despite the human youth's substantial slaying ability, even able to kill an orange-tier creature like Gorgon instantly, the Gold-Breaking Beast's rapid movements were distracting the youth.
Deep down, the Mysterious Bird saw humans as worthy of caution but looked down on them nonetheless. This wasn't a contradiction. It concluded that this human was nearing his limit, battling against orange-tier creatures by himself, he would quickly deplete his stamina.
Indeed, Elemental Fog was now feeling fatigue, his vision struggling to focus.
The enormous consumption of Telekinesis made it difficult for him to concentrate. There were several times when he felt the dangerous presence of the Gold-Breaking Beast whistling past his neck.
Must kill at least one more!
Elemental Fog clenched his teeth with this thought, determined to kill one more before his energy was exhausted.
"The Gold-Breaking Beast is too fast, my sight can't keep up, and I can only barely defend. If I want to continue using the Mirror Eye, the manipulation of telekinesis has to be calculated even more accurately."
This timid child, once he overcame his fear due to anger, displayed an exceptional combat talent.
Of the entire battlefield, Elemental Fog was the clearest about the situation aside from Tang Xian.
"Lord Tang Xian is still in the spider web. That hanging spider seems only to be a weaver of the battlefield. However, it can't be ruled out that it has other offensive means. The priority of the target is very low, though."
While dodging the Gold-Breaking Beast's attacks, he was pondering the countermeasures. Gradually, Elemental Fog closed his left eye.
He looked like he was about to collapse, but in reality, it was a strategy to minimize exhaustion.
While someone was still trapped in a web like a wrapped zongzi, the other two active on the battlefield were thinking about the same thing—waiting for Tang Xian to break free.
The Mysterious Bird was unaware of the opponents' plans; it only knew that no more defenses stood before Bai Mansheng or the human youth.
Another gray beam shot towards Elemental Fog.
Suddenly, Elemental Fog opened his left eye, and the ruptured space unexpectedly sliced the black beam in half too. At the same moment, the Gold-Breaking Beast rapidly approached Elemental Fog.
An ice wall rose behind Elemental Fog. Bai Mansheng, while also paying attention to the other battlefield, saw Elemental Fog in danger and immediately intervened to rescue him.
This distraction left the direction from which Taowu was charging free of glacial obstruction.
The Mysterious Bird's beam, like pushing the first domino, triggered a series of attacks.
The Mysterious Bird struck at Elemental Fog; Elemental Fog defended with the Mirror Eye; the Gold-Breaking Beast found an opening to attack Elemental Fog, and Bai Mansheng intervened to help. Still, eventually, it was three against two, and at that moment, Taowu also made a move on Bai Mansheng.
Just when the Mysterious Bird thought it had the upper hand that round, something unexpected happened.
The human youth, who, according to the Mysterious Bird's observation, should have taken some time to rest after using his spatial slicing ability.
The wear and tear from this move was substantial, and the Mysterious Bird believed that not just humans, but possibly all beasts would expend much strength using it.
And inertial thinking led Taowu and the Gold-Breaking Beast to believe that the tens of seconds after Elemental Fog used the Mirror Eye were safe.
Blood flowed from Elemental Fog's eyes, a sight that must have been horrifying. His eyes, originally enshrouded in a hazy white light, were now red due to the dense blood vessels.
But in that instant, the figure of Taowu charging at Bai Mansheng was suddenly cut off by an enormous force.
It was as if being dragged down into the deep sea by a great octopus, struggling in vain, unable to alter its sinking fate.
Next, Taowu's strength began to terrifyingly increase. Even within the rifted space, the mighty aura emanating from Taowu could be felt.
This immense pressure caused a brief stagnation in everyone; the last of the four fierce beasts, Taowu, was at its most terrifying when its life hung by a thread.
But to the Mysterious Bird and the Gold-Breaking Beast's dismay, Taowu's vitality continued to plummet rapidly. Despite its growing strength, it never escaped the split space.
Soon after the overwhelming aura hit, they saw Taowu torn to pieces.
Only after Taowu's body had disintegrated into countless fragments did Elemental Fog close his bleeding eyes.
