I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1045 - 1046: I’m waiting for everyone to gather, what are you waiting for?

Chapter 1045: Chapter 1046: I’m waiting for everyone to gather, what are you waiting for?

Above the ocean.

The remaining three Cui Ming Fish Kings also sensed a strong feeling of crisis. They no longer attacked mindlessly but gathered their school to form a long dragon, arranged in some strange pattern. The scales of the fish in the school shone brilliantly, flickering with bloodthirsty, icyld light.

As the vanguard, the three Fish Kings became the head of the dragon, ferocious and terrifying. Their roars were incessant, appearing like a poised blade ready to rush out and shred its target to pieces.

More than thirty cultivators of the Heavenly Immortal Realm stood in the sky, with terrifying waves of Immortal Yuan Power from their Dantians sweeping over the sea, raising waves that lashed towards Li Xiaobai, trying to impose a sense of pressure with this petty tactic, hoping he would reveal a flaw.

The cultivators and Demonic Beasts of the Sea Clan watched Li Xiaobai intensely like wolves ready to pounce at the first opportunity, eager to kill him immediately.

“Many thanks to all the Daoist friends for your strong support. I truly did not expect such a small boat to harbor dragons and tigers, harboring so numerous Heavenly Immortal Realm experts. It seems today this demon head is destined not to escape!”

The assassins posing as disciples from the Icy Frost Sect thanked everyone with clasped fists and joked with the many cultivators who hadme to participate in the encirclement. Their expressions were very relaxed; with so many powerful figures present, Li Xiaobai had no way to fly even with wings.

What they needed tonsider now was how to act to maximize their own interests and divide up as many resources from this youth as possible.

“The friend speaks too seriously. Eliminating demons and defending the path is our duty. Moreover, when the Icy Frost Sect is in trouble, we cannot just stand by and watch!”

A cultivator said with a light smile.

“Enough talk. I want the Cultivation Techniques on that kid, and for other stuff, you guys figure it out yourselves!”

Another young cultivator with fierce, triangular eyes spokeldly. He had his eyes on the opponent’s physical Cultivation Technique and the Demon Sealing Sword Evocation. These were secrets not passed on lightly—if heuld learn them, the vast world would be open to him, greatly beneficial for improving his strength.

“Disagree, disagree. The Cultivation Techniques on this person are secrets not to be divulged. Not to mention the method for cultivating the physical body, just the Demon Sealing Sword Evocation alone is one of the top Divine Skills of the Demon Sealing Sect, not passed on except tore exceptional disciples. Such Techniques—howuld others practice them? In my opinion, it would be better for me to take them and personally deliver them to the Demon Sealing Sect.”

“As for the division of resources, just give me a mere eight or nine million top-grade Immortal Stones.”

An elder spoke up, his opening words filled with supposed righteousness, drawing sidelong glances from the surrounding cultivators.

“Damn, cunning old fox, not only do you want to snatch away such divine Cultivation Techniques, but you also want eight or nine million top-grade Immortal Stones—how shameless can you be?”

“I don’t want Cultivation Techniques or resources; I just want that golden chariot under his feet. The rest is all yours!”

“I feel the same. I won’tmpete for the sky-high rewards offered by the Buddhist Sect. I heard that this lad has three ancient swords in his possession; I just want these three. Once they’re in my hands, I’ll turn around and leave without further involvement with you all!”

The cultivators spoke one after another, casually divvying up Li Xiaobai’s wealth and resources as if he were nothing but a lamb awaiting slaughter in their eyes.

Indeed, that’s exactly what they thought: howuld over thirty Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators surrounding and attacking one of their peer’s elite possibly let him escape?

Trapped on this vast ocean, there was no escape!

Listening to the cultivators casually divide him up, Li Xiaobai touched his nose and spoke softly, “Ladies and gentlemen, I truly don’t wish to spoil your fun, but there’s something I must say. Are all Daoist friends really sonfident that you can slay me here?”

“Have you nevernsidered beingunter-killed by me, leaving yourrpses in this nameless expanse of the sea?”

“Hahahaha, ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous!”

“Li Xiaobai, why do you think we are wasting our breath talking so much here? We are waiting for everyone to gather to annihilate you in one fell swoop. What are you waiting for?”

“Waiting for death?”

“Impersonating the assassins from Icy Frost Sect, they spokeldly, their laughter grating to the ear. They had been here arguing half the day on how to divide up Li Xiaobai’s resources, casually mentioning a few grand words to stabilize Li Xiaobai. In fact, during this time, more than thirty experts had already taken their positions, thoroughly surrounding the area from east, south, west, north, and center. Furthermore, ten cultivators on the outer perimeter made their moves to stabilize the void, preventing all Magic Treasures and talismans thatuld traverse space from functioning. If there had been a chance for Li Xiaobai to escape before, with this additional layer of insurance, escape was now utterly impossible.

How laughable that Li Xiaobai was actually listening to them talk, clearly unaware of his impending doom.

What were they waiting for, and this guy, what was he waiting for?

‘I see you’re babbling on and on. It turns out you’re waiting for everyone to gather.’

‘But, I’m afraid you got it wrong, because I’ve been waiting too.’

‘I’ve been waiting for you to summon everyone together. That way, it will benvenient to kill you all at once!’ Li Xiaobai said cheerfully. He knew that aside from the group from Icy Frost Sect, there were also many powerful masters lurking in the shadows. This move would drag all the assassins out at once, saving the trouble of dealing with their scheming later.

‘Damned fool, a mere clown,mpletely ignorant!’ someone cursed.

‘Let’s all attack together and kill this brat first. As for the resources, let our skills decide!’

‘It should have been like this from the start, kill him!’

From the void, the cultivators erupted, with the intense presence of the Heavenly Immortal Realm soaring into the sky. Everyone struck at Li Xiaobai together, and the schools of fish in the deep waters, not to be outdone, swam against the current, bursting forth towards their target.

‘Demonic Flame Claw!’

‘Spring Wind Slash!’

‘Iron Cavalry Charge!’

‘Corpse Poison!’

A myriad of moves emerged in rapid succession, causing tumultuous waves and a dazzling display oflors across the sea. Waves of energy surged, and Li Xiaobai was suddenly engulfed like a candle in the wind.

‘I won’t play with you anymore. Your attacks are too weak; I can’t keep wasting time.’

Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently, his wrist turning as a black, ink-like flame suddenly floated in the air, soaring towards the assailants. The experts nearby were yet to react when the flame violently surged with the wind, turning into a vast black sea over the waters.

‘Hellfire!’

More than thirty cultivators, ampanied by thousands of Cui Ming Fish, were engulfed in an instant, their Immortal Yuan Power rapidly draining. It took but a moment of hesitation and a feeling of powerless exhaustion spread from their Dantian.

The Hellfire devoured their Immortal Yuan at an incredibly terrifying rate, and even Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivatorsuld not last more than a few breaths.

The first to turn to ash were the Cui Ming Fish. Except for the remaining three Fish Kings, thousands of fish nearly turned to ash the moment they touched the Hellfire.

‘What kind of flame is this that can actually devour my Immortal Yuan?’

‘Retreat quickly, this flame is very strange. In just one breath, the Immortal Yuan in my Dantian wasmpletely burned away!’

A few cultivators with slightly stronger cultivation were the quickest to react. Realizing the anomaly of the flame, they chose to retreat immediately. Their forms flickered, escaping from the ocean of flames, leaving behind trails of afterimage, feeling utterly drained.

But before theyuld catch their breath, a sudden change occurred—they saw their bodies untrollably rushing towards the sea of fire, plunging back into it.

‘F*ck, what kind of cultivation technique or divine skill is this that can evenntrol our bodies!'”
