I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1034 - 1035: That’s it?

Chapter 1034: Chapter 1035: That’s it?

“Yes, we must hurry,” I just saw Old Goat bring back two more passengers. The ship will leave soon. How do you want to die?”

The man in the black robe took a light sip of tea and said indifferently.

“Who are you, dare to state your Sect?”

Uncle Huo squinted his eyes, remaining vigilant towards the man in the black robe.

“You only need to know that I act on behalf of the Buddhist Sect. The complicated background behind me is not something the Huo Family can pry into!”

The man in the black robe said contemptuously, immediately revealing the Huo Family’s origin, clearly coming from a significant Sect power.

...

“Are you so confident that you can certainly kill me?”

Li Xiaobai raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.

“Of course. The Buddhist Sect has already thoroughly investigated your records in the Western Continent. Although you possess some unusual gadgets, your actual strength is only at the Earth Immortal Realm. The gap between our powers is like a heavenly condemnation. At this distance, I can kill you instantly.”

The man in the black robe said confidently. Perhaps because of this confidence, he had not been eager to make a move but had instead kept his eyes on Uncle Huo, wandering around. Of all the people at the table, only the middle-aged man with a scholarly appearance put some pressure on him, likely a high-level expert of the same rank, and even slightly stronger than him.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Huo’s expression suddenly turned odd.

Earth Immortal Realm? Are you mistaken?

It should be noted that just a moment ago, this young man had let Uncle Huo’s Heavenly Immortal Realm Immortal Yuan Power rampage through his meridians without any defense and remained utterly unharmed. With such strength and cultivation level, to say it far surpasses the Heavenly Immortal Realm is believable, so how could it only be Earth Immortal Realm?

No wonder this assassin seemed so ordinary yet so confident—it turned out to be an intelligence error, misjudging the assassination target’s strength.

“You can’t kill me. The only one who can harm me in this world is myself.”

Li Xiaobai slowly shook his head and said lightly, as if merely stating a fact.

This black-robed man is also full of aggressive aura, clearly a habitual show-off. However, it’s a pity that among the people at this table, his strength only ranks third. It’s doubtful he can even defeat Uncle Huo, let alone beat him; it’s hard to see where his confidence comes from.

“All bark and no bite, do you think just because there’s a Heavenly Immortal Realm expert here, you can act recklessly?”

“I can kill you in an instant, and even he can’t stop me. I’ll give you a chance to say your last words. If you don’t want to take the secrets of the Buddha Nation to the Netherworld, you can say them now.”

The man in the black robe said sinisterly.

“Seeing the saber hanging from your waist, use that to chop.”

Li Xiaobai extended his neck towards the black-robed man and said with a smile. Such pretentious assassins could not possibly be genuine experts. Nowadays, it would at least take a Half-Saint to hurt him.

In the Eastern Continent within the Sword Sect, with old beggars guarding and ten Half-Saint Strong Experts constantly coming and going, even if someone noticed his whereabouts, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly. But now that he had come out and was also on his own heading to the sea, some cultivators monitoring him secretly had sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain. The man in the black robe was just a sign; there would likely be more cultivators itching to make a move in the future.

Being too famous is troublesome as it always attracts trouble.

However, thinking about it from another angle, having resource-delivering youngsters along the road was quite wonderful.

“Still unaware of your impending death, if that’s the case, then take your secrets to the Netherworld and speak with the King of Underworld.”

The black-robed man’s voice contained a hint of anger, yet he didn’t move physically, but a flash of cold light in the void, and a bloodstained long saber had already slashed at Li Xiaobai’s neck from behind.

[Attribute Points +1,000,000…]

This was damage within the range of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, albeit a bit weak. The black-robed man seemed to belong to the early stages of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, or perhaps one of the weaker within that category.

Recalling a time on the Immortal Spirit Continent when Senior Sister eradicated nine Human Immortal Realm Godzillas, directly bursting the upper limit of damage she could sustain and earning him a hundred million Attribute Points, by comparison, this black-robed man seemed quite lacking.

“Alright, this has nothing to do with the Huo Family anymore. I’ll take the corpse; you all go about your business.”

The black-robed man put away his saber and said indifferently.

He casually grabbed Li Xiaobai’s collar, but immediately paused, sensing something amiss.

Why is there no blood on this “corpse”?

“Why is the head of this ‘corpse’ still intact?”

“Why is the back of the neck of this ‘corpse’ completely unharmed, without even a scratch from a knife?”

And why can this “corpse” still wink at him with a grin?

“Holy shit, you’re not dead!”

“How is this possible? With the strength of my Heavenly Immortal Realm, how could my sword not sever your neck? Are you a human or a ghost?”

The man in the black robe was shocked, and he swung his long sword fiercely at Li Xiaobai’s head.

[Attribute Points +1,200,000…]

Li Xiaobai touched his head and smiled faintly, “Not bad aim, but a little lacking in strength. It’s going to be difficult for your minor cultivation to kill me. Tell me, who is it that backs you?”

“Your sword doesn’t seem to belong to someone from the Buddhist Sect; it rather looks like it belongs to a cultivator from the Demon Path.”

“You’re really unharmed?”

The man in the black robe’s eyes nearly popped out. To withstand his sword technique unharmed like Flesh Mountain, was this even human?

And it was one thing to have a strong physical body, but the neck was one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. How could it possess such formidable defensive power?

Can body refining extend to the throat?

“Is that all?”

“What could happen? I usually bathe in lava; I never took the attacks from someone of the Heavenly Immortal Realm seriously. Now, confess the sect you belong to, and I might leave your body intact.”

Li Xiaobai spoke disdainfully, completely unresponsive to such tickling attacks, he even felt like laughing.

“You’re not of the Earth Immortal Realm!”

“During your journey to the Western Continent Buddha Nation, you concealed your true power, you want to play the pig to eat the tiger!”

The man in the black robe screamed in terror. What he thought was an easy target had suddenly become someone beyond his reach, and he was having a hard time accepting this reversal.

“Play the pig to eat the tiger? You think you are worthy?”

“I have always said, the only one who can hurt me is myself.”

“I don’t like wasting words, so come clean while I’m still speaking kindly, otherwise I won’t spare you.”

Li Xiaobai stated coldly, reaching out and grabbing the blade. A wisp of pitch-black flame moved like a streak of black lightning, quickly wrapping around the spine of the sword, and in the blink of an eye, the entire sword melted away into ash.

The man in the black robe looked at his empty palm, his body shivering involuntarily, a cold sweat dripping down from his forehead.

That brief flash of black Hellfire had given him a strong sense of danger.

The information was wrong; this young man was not simply of Earth Immortal level strength. This terrifying level of cultivation, even calling him a Half-Saint Strong Expert would be believable!

When did such a monster appear among the younger generation?

“Blood Scripture!”

The man in the black robe made a decisive shout. His body exploded, and rich Blood Qi surged, cloaking one corner of the ship. At the same time, a dark shadow burst out, racing toward the mainland.

“This… This is a Demon Path Cultivation Technique!”

Uncle Huo exclaimed, intending to intervene but the man had cast his secret technique too swiftly, and before Uncle Huo could act, the man in the black robe had already fled far away.

“Fight a round and think you can run?”

“Think it’s that easy?”

Li Xiaobai’s expression was icy, he flipped his wrist and pulled out a small broken bowl: “Get into the bowl, quick!”
