I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1044 - 1045: Siege on Li Xiaobai

Chapter 1044: Chapter 1045: Siege on Li Xiaobai

“Roar!”

The four Cui Ming Fish split open their gaping mouths, revealing rows of sword-sharp, massive steel teeth, viciously snapping down at Li Xiaobai’s body.

[Attribute Points +3,000,000…]

[Attribute Points +3,000,000…]

[Attribute Points +3,000,000…]

The attribute values on the System panel skyrocketed.

Li Xiaobai didn’t move an inch, finding the damage quite satisfactory. It ranked among the best in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, worthy of a Demonic Beast’s attack from that realm, and it felt exhilarating.

The Cui Ming Fish were dumbfounded, staring at Li Xiaobai with their small eyes. Their sharp steel teeth repeatedly scraped against Li Xiaobai’s flesh, but theyuldn’t even penetrate it, let alone draw blood or leave a scratch.

“Not a single hair harmed?”

“Just like the rumors said, his bodily strength is freakishly powerful, even stronger than that of Demonic Beasts!”

“But we’ve already found a tactic; the human body has many weak points. By fiercely attacking these areas, even if your defense is high, you won’t be able to withstand it!”

After a brief test, the assassins’ weapons whirled in the air, directing their strikes at Li Xiaobai’s eyes.

Even if your throat has been tempered to resist bladed weapons, surely your eyeballs haven’t been trained, have they?

“Your tactic isn’t bad. I’ve never tested how my eyelids would hold up, but since you’re all targeting my eyes, wouldn’t it be fine if I just closed them”

Li Xiaobai slowly shut his eyes, speaking lightly.

The System’s power was invincible; absolutely unbeatable at the same realm. Various Cultivation Techniques and weapons, even the sharp teeth of the Cui Ming Fish, failed to break through Li Xiaobai’s defense. The so-called strategic focus on attacking the eyes was insequential for Li Xiaobai.

“How is this possible? The eyelids are just as vulnerable. How can his flesh be so strong?”

“Is this person’s cultivation level deep, or is his body simply strong? The information given by the Buddhist Sect showed he was only at the Earth Immortal Realm. However, he now ranks among the top fifty in the Immortal Ranking and also possesses the strength to suppress us. Could it be that he has always beenncealing his true skill, and his actual cultivation level might have surpassed the Heavenly Immortal Realm?”

“That’s unlikely. It should just be that his body is formidable. Perhaps he hasnsumed some kind of Heaven and Earth Treasures?”

Several cultivators were shocked. Their mostnfident strategy was broken by the mere act of the opponent closing his eyes, and theyuldn’t believe it.

“There’s nothing impossible. Before an invincible being like me, all your attacks are nothing but loneliness.”

Li Xiaobai smoothly retrieved a longsword and said faintly, as the sword swept through the air. A jet-black Sword Intent, dark as ink, slashed towards the nearby Cui Ming Fish King.

With utter silence, the Sword Intent swept across that massive yellow body, cutting distantly through the waves before calming and dissipating.

Turning to look at the Cui Ming Fish King, it was cleaved in two, falling into the seampletely dead.

“Black Sword Intent! The Fish King was killed with a single move!”

“Demon Sealing Sect, Demon Sealing Sword Technique!”

“You are a disciple of the Demon Sealing Sect. The Sword Sect of the Eastern Continent was just aver. You are a cultivator from the Southern Continent!”

“No wonder you were able to escape ascent from the Pure Land of the Buddhist Sect. No wonder you’ve turned assassination attempts into opportunities. So you are a cultivator from the Demon Sealing Sect. Since youme from a distinguished lineage, we have even more reason to not let you go!”

The pupils of several cultivators shrank, their hearts throbbing. This young man before themncealed too many astonishing secrets. A single Sword Intent had instantly killed a Fish King, a power theyuld not hope to rival.

Could this still bensidered the Heavenly Immortal Realm?

“They actually believe he’s a Semi-Saint!”

“Fellow Daoists aboard the ship, what are you waiting for?”

“This Demon evil-doer cannot be killed by just one or two people. If you are here for the extraordinarily high bounty, you can make your move now. At this moment, if we join forces to kill him, we can still have a good discussion about how to divide the spoils. If we wait until all of us are slain, you’ll have no chance left!”

“Today, the Icy Frost Sect shall act for justice, even if it means bearing the greatest of risks, to bring this demon head to justice. Those among you who still have blood pumping in your veins, please lend the Icy Frost Sect your strength!”

Several assassins instantly put distance between themselves and Li Xiaobai, speaking loudly so that everyone on the shipuld hear.

From the moment they first clashed, they knew that this young man before them was not one theyuld kill. Even with the assistance of the Fish King, they were likely no match for him. The only hope was for other cultivators lurking on the ship to join the fight.

This was the last chance to make a move at sea, for once on land, the realm belonged to the Great Sects. Should they succeed in killing Li Xiaobai, they would be obliged to turn him in. Therefore, if they wanted a share of the reward, they needed to put in the effort now.

“Damn it, I knew this kid was with the Demon path, but I didn’t expect even the notable figures of the Icy Frost Sect to find him a tough nut to crack. Brothers, rest assured, I will lend you a hand!”

“Since the Icy Frost Sect’s experts are calling for help, how can we sit by and do nothing, I’m from the Tyrant Sword Sect, assisting in killing this Demon today will create a closer relationship between our two sects in the future!”

“Hurry and support the Icy Frost Sect’s experts—let’s join forces and eliminate Li Xiaobai!”

“We have great admiration for the Icy Frost Sect. Although we don’t know the exact reason behind it, since it is the wish of the Icy Frost Sect, it must berrect. We are willing to risk our lives for a noble cause!”

“Amitabha, in order to protect themmon folk, this old monk will also help!”

The assassins’ words found a response, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half of the cultivators aboard the ship shot up into the sky, stepping on air and rushing toward Li Xiaobai. Bursts of Immortal Yuan Power exploded in midair, with a myriad of Cultivation Techniques dazzling to watch.

On the deck, the Huo Family party was watching agape as it all unfolded before their eyes. Just a moment ago, one of them had logically analyzed to Li Xiaobai that more than half the cultivators on the ship were heading to Ice Dragon Island tompete in the martialntest. The reason was simple: he had detected a powerful force, albeit faint,ming from these cultivators, which led to hisnclusion.

Now, he felt somewhat embarrassed. These people were not headed for Ice Dragon Island; they were clearly after Li Xiaobai!

Having dozens of Heavenly Immortal Realm experts suddenly emerge on a single ship, joining forces with Sea Clan Demonic Beasts just to kill one person was a scene grand enough to be rrded in the annals of history, no matter the oume.

“Uncle Huo, we aren’t dreaming, are we? To think that there are so many Heavenly Immortal Realm seniors traveling with us?”

Huo Yuhao rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

“Hush! Don’t talk. The situation is verymplicated. It’s best for the Huo Family to stay quiet!” Uncle Huo gave him a glare, signaling everyone to keep silent. In such a large-scale hunt, any carelessnessuld drag them into a calamity from which there would be no rvery.

Cui Ming Fish were terrifying enough, butmpared to the current scene, they were nothing!

Here, there were dozens of Heavenly Immortal Realm experts. Such a formationuld decimate any enemy.

However, the most shocked of all were the senior and junior of the Icy Frost Sect. From the beginning until now, they hadn’t understood what was going on. How had the fight suddenly started, how had dozens of Heavenly Immortal Realm experts appeared on the ship, and how had these experts started to follow the Icy Frost Sect’s call to attack Li Xiaobai?

Was he still as innocent as his name suggested?

“Young master, these people are likely here pursuing Li Xiaobai, aiming for the bounty on his head. They claim to act on behalf of the Icy Frost Sect as a ruse to make their escape afterward. These guys truly are cunning!”

Uncle Han’s face alternated between expressions, realizing they had been played.

“Uncle Han, shall we join them? If we miss this opportunity, that hefty bounty will be beyond our reach!” Han Buzhu’s eyes gleamed viciously, adding fiercely. Previously, they weren’t sure but now the situation was different. More than thirty Heavenly Immortal Realm experts were attacking, with the Fish King and the Cui Ming Fish swarm hidden underwater. Li Xiaobai was trapped with no way out!

Uncle Han nodded and said, “Ofurse we must join them. Since these cultivators are using our Icy Frost Sect’s name, we need not only join them but also bme their leaders andmmand from the front!”

“Only by doing this can we secure a larger share when the spoils are divided.”

“Let’s go!”
