I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

“I didn’t expect him to come too. Seventy years ago, this old man’s arm was eaten by him. Today, there might be a fierce battle to the death!”

“This man has his hands and eyes reaching to the sky, not much weaker than the Vice Leader. Let the two of them fight and both come to harm, then we’ll take advantage of their weakness and reap the benefits like a fisherman!”

The cultivators discussed fervently. Mentioning Liu Jiannan might be unknown to the younger generation, but no one was ignorant of the great name of Treasure Pavilion.

This person was the mysterious Head of Treasure Pavilion, the true leader, a peerlessly fierce person!

In his early years, Liu Jiannan challenged the strong everywhere, with numerous mighty ones falling at his hands. This man had a habit: anyone who was defeated by him would inevitably have a part of their body eaten by him; some lost a hand, some a leg, and some an eye. It was his ritual of victory.

Over time, he earned the terrifying nickname of the Cannibal Ogre!

Li Xiaobai nodded slightly. He had once met the Head of Treasure Pavilion, Liu Fei, face to face and had even taken her to participate in the competition among the Three Sects. He hadn’t expected the head who took her words for truth to have such a ferocious grandfather.

“Liu Jiannan?”

“Do you also desire the Immortal Spirit Qi?”

A trace of solemnity flickered in Liuren’s eyes.

“Correct, raise your hand then.”

“If it really comes to a fight, you might be fine, but the young friend behind you is likely to be decapitated.”

Liu Jiannan nodded as he spoke, as if merely stating a fact.

“Kill him!”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand without the slightest hesitation. A gigantic Heart of the Blood Demon appeared out of nowhere behind him, with hundreds of tentacles swarming towards the people in front of him, ready to suck everyone dry.

“Fight!”

Liuren circled the Sea-Calming Divine Needle in her hand, creating a battlefield out of thin air, and started fighting fiercely with Liu Jiannan.

She was not worried in the slightest about Li Xiaobai’s safety. His physical body was extremely strong; even she could not kill him with a single blow.

“Kill them!”

“Finish off the Sea Clan, kill Li Xiaobai!”

The eyes of Qi Sect’s old ancestor were ferocious as he gestured, his aura surging around him.

“Prince Consort, I will pacify this place. Quickly go and take the Immortal Spirit Qi!” the Old Dragon King said.

“No need, our reinforcements have arrived,”

Li Xiaobai smiled faintly.

It was just at that moment that in the distant sky, the giant azure shadow of a Kraken broke through the horizon, sweeping in with a terrifying momentum, followed by a large group of people, all of whom were prisoners released from the Celestial Prison.

“Kid, I’ve come to help you snatch the Immortal Spirit Qi!”

“Prince Consort 666, single-handedly holding off the enemy without falling short, a role model for our generation!”

“Baby wants to slap Huazi!”

The Kraken led the people to quickly gather at Li Xiaobai’s side, bristling with killing intent – all familiar faces, but it was a pity they were only Great Crossing Realm Cultivators. In such a situation, they were of little use.

“This scoundrel really colludes with the Sea Clan, even joining hands with the sea creatures once imprisoned for years by our Three Sects, utterly losing face for our human race!”

“Fight!”

“Kill them all!”

Li Xiaobai gestured, and the Kraken and the Old Dragon King revealed their true forms. The two behemoths, one dragon and one kraken, immediately charged into the crowd with supreme ferocity. The elders, with their absolute numerical advantage, fought indecisively against the dragon and the kraken and became entangled with them.

“Husband, should we hurry and take the Immortal Spirit Qi?”

Long Xue next to him said with a worried expression; their opponents were all tied up, making it an excellent opportunity to snatch the Immortal Spirit Qi.

“Hehe, no hurry, the reinforcements haven’t all arrived yet. Today, your husband seeks an overwhelming victory!”

Li Xiaobai was calm and collected, not panicked in the slightest.

No sooner had the words left his mouth.

From the east, south, west, and north of the Immortal Spirit Continent, several beams of Spiritual Power burst forth simultaneously, their terrifying aura sweeping into the heavens.

From the south.

A massive kingdom suddenly rose up, with cities sprawling across it. In the center sat the Cold Moon Palace, where an enormous Frost Cicada swallowed the sun and the moon, radiating an unparalleled and terrifying aura as it made its way slowly toward Central Province.

Atop a palace of jade and beauty, a peerlessly elegant woman holding a giant hammer declared loudly, “Don’t panic, Junior Brother. Your senior sister has brought forces to help you snatch the Immortal Spirit Qi!”

“The whole of the Southern Ming has been moved here by our King. Let’s see, who dares to stand against us!”

From the west.

Golden Buddha light illuminated the earth; a great kingdom rose gently, its soft glow felt purifying to the soul with just one glance.

A golden Buddha phantom towered above, holding the Thousand Buddha Kingdom in his hand, his face full of anger as he took great strides toward Central Province.

Within the kingdom, countless faithful male and female Buddhist cultivators knelt, chanting scriptures, as two grotesque-looking old monks stood in their midst, palms together: “Amitabha Buddha, this old monk Xuan Bei boldly lends Young Master Li a hand today, which should settle the causality between the young master and our Buddhist Sect.”

“In the land illuminated by the Buddha’s light, may all of you benefactors avoid senseless killing!”

From the east.

The entire sky dazzled with bright white light, filled with ethereal immortal aura; two beautiful figures arrived side by side, one in red, the other in blue, both in flowing robes, stunningly gorgeous.

Beneath their exceptional beauty was an enchanting air.

“Young Master Li quelled the upheaval in our Aolai Country; today, we sisters will repay this kindness, assisting you in seizing the Immortal Spirit Qi!”

Central Province.

A series of wild howls suddenly erupted from behind a group of old ancestors.

“Woof, minions, charge for Lord Ergouzi, kill Old Bangzi, take humans as pets!”

“Klok klok, follow this sovereign into battle!”

Above the sky, giant Fire Qilins large enough to block out the sun stepped on the air, approaching in well-coordinated strides. The intense heat they emitted seemed as though it could burn a hole through the sky.

Leading them were a Kylin Divine Beast, its body ruby red like jade, and a seven-colored fiery Phoenix, perched in the void, with eyes full of killing intent staring intently at the old ancestors below.

It was none other than Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing.

Almost simultaneously, auras of powerful figures emerged from all directions, continuous support arriving, all coming to aid Li Xiaobai.

Not just the old ancestors, even the peerless fierce figure Liu Jiannan was at this moment staring wide-eyed, his face in disbelief at the surrounding situation, not daring to linger in battle. His figure flickered as he withdrew, retreating into the crowd.

At this moment, the Old Dragon King and the Kraken also ceased their actions. Although unclear about the reason, the sudden presence of so many powerful allies meant there was no need to act; just the momentum alone could crush the old ancestors before them.

“Kingdom of Women, Southern Ming!”

“Thousand Buddha Kingdom, Western Desert!”

“Aolai Country, Eastern Sea!”

“Fire Qilin Cave, Central Province!”

“Even the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea has made a move!”

“Why would all these top forces of the Immortal Spirit Continent come to aid this Li Xiaobai?”

“What’s the point in fighting now? I’m out of here, whoever wants the Immortal Spirit Qi can have it!”

The sight before them stunned the group of old ancestors. No wonder none of the forces from the great powers had been seen before—it turned out all were Li Xiaobai’s allies. They had been foolishly thinking about networking with cultivators from the Upper Realm!
