I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 996 - 997: Two Old Men Went Up

Chapter 996: Chapter 997: Two Old Men Went Up

“Pfft!”

Liu Jinshui’s finger pierced through the small snake’s head.

“Nice try, but tonight I’m having snake soup to replenish myself!”

Liu Jinshui said indifferently, casually sweeping up the burst of resource materials into his bag.

“Brother, don’t you think you’re taking a bit too much? Shouldn’t you share some with your junior brother?”

Li Xiaobai’s face was sullen; this guy simply wanted to personally take down the enemy to snatch up the first-hand resources.

...

“Junior brother, I didn’t fight with you for the resources of that Heavenly Immortal Realm powerhouse just now.”

“But all the belongings of those twenty Earth Immortal Realm cultivators have fallen into your pocket,” Li Xiaobai said in a dry tone.

“Do you still care about the resources of mere Earth Immortal Realm cultivators? You’re a powerhouse of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. How could I let such trash dirty your eyes, junior brother? Don’t mention it again!”

Liu Jinshui grandly waved his hand, appearing very righteous.

All of a sudden, Li Xiaobai understood; this guy was a typical glutton, the kind that only takes in and never gives out.

“We welcome the Prince Consort, and thank you for quelling the Sea Clan’s rebellion!”

“The Prince Consort is invincible!”

Inside the cage, the imprisoned cultivators wore faces full of joy, cheering and leaping for joy.

They were all familiar with Li Xiaobai; they had watched from outside the palace on his wedding day and never expected that the junior member of the human race, who had married into the Sea Clan under confusing circumstances, had become a formidable expert. The Upper Immortals of the Central Origin Realm couldn’t even withstand a single move from him; this truly shocked everyone.

However, with him here, there was hope for the Immortal Spirit Continent, and the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace could regain peace and stability.

“It’s a trivial matter; not worth mentioning. It was just a small effort. As cultivators of the Immortal Spirit Continent, it is our unshirkable duty to rid it of evil!”

Li Xiaobai said cheerfully, casually launching several Sword Qi strikes that shattered the cages, releasing the people inside.

“Be careful, Prince Consort!”

“There’s something wrong with that cage!”

The Old Dragon King shouted loudly, clearly seeing that a black Sword Qi that struck a cage in the corner did not make a dent. Furthermore, the cage began to float into the air and, like flight, rushed toward the space channel constructed by the Five-colored Altar.

That was a special cage, marked with the characters for ‘ordinary people,’ and belonged to two mad old men.

Li Xiaobai looked in the direction of the voice, and was taken aback. The two old men in the cage were filthy and ragged, and the cage was full of mud and filth, but still, he recognized the two familiar, experienced faces in an instant. Weren’t they Yitilou and Yan Zuzi?

Why were they in the Immortal Spirit Continent?

Could it be that the Five-colored Altar he had set up in the Buddhist Pagoda of the Western Continent had been discovered, and these two old fellows had followed him down here!

“Holy shit, aren’t those the two seniors from the Buddhist Pagoda? How did they get out?”

Liu Jinshui was also startled.

“The two seniors, please wait. Since you’re here, why not have a chat?”

Li Xiaobai swept his Longsword sideways, releasing a thick Sword Qi towards the altar, intending to clear away the piled-up Immortal Stones.

“Youngster, we two are going to the Central Origin Realm, don’t block our way!”

“I even scare myself when I start to unleash my strength!”

Yitilou bellowed in anger. A hint of eerie purple aura flashed between his brows, and a terrifying presence crashed down like a deity descending, causing visible cracks to spider across the void with each inch splitting open. The Sword Qi instantly turned to nothingness.

It was but a leak of his aura, yet it directly shattered the void. Watching the cracks spread like cobwebs throughout the space, everyone froze in place, not daring to move.

“Old fool, don’t use force, or we’ll all be stuck here if the void collapses!”

Yan Zuzi slapped Yitilou on the forehead, interrupting the aura he was emitting, and then flicked his finger powerfully. The fierce wind pressure created a deep, bottomless pit on the ground, and using the reaction force, the iron cage shot into the space passage at an extremely rapid speed, disappearing from sight.

“A thousand years have passed, I’m free at last!”

“I’m going back for revenge, to a point where no one in the Western Desert will dare claim supremacy!”

“Kid, I’ll remember the favor you did today. When you’re about to be beaten to death someday, I’ll step in to save you!”

Yitilou burst into a hearty laugh, his boastful and hoarse voice echoing in the first level of the Linglong Pagoda for a long time.

“Those two old men have returned; little junior brother, did we just do something earth-shatteringly significant?”

Liu Jinshui’s face was somewhat stunned as he murmured to Li Xiaobai.

Any one of those two old men, once released, would stand at the very pinnacle of experts. Now, returning to the Central Origin Realm, the years of pent-up resentment being unleashed would likely result in another bloodbath!

“No, not us; we merely opened the passage. They followed by themselves, nothing to do with us.”

“Yeah, we’re just a couple of people seeking freedom. If the two seniors ran out, it’s due to the Buddha Country’s lax supervision in the Western Desert, not our fault!”

Liu Jinshui nodded in agreement.

“Prince Consort, who were those two seniors who just ran out?”

The Old Dragon King asked in astonishment. The chaos and scent of death in the rifts of the void were unimaginable, seemingly caused by just a cultivator’s leaking aura, which was shocking to hear.

During these days, he hadn’t seen less of those two old men pretending to be mad and stupid; little did he expect they were actually powerful beings.

“Just two old seniors. Don’t worry, everyone. This void can’t withstand their power, they won’t come down again.”

Li Xiaobai soothed them with a few explanations.

“Everyone has suffered these days. After we go out, I’ll treat you to a seafood banquet to calm your nerves!”

…

That evening, a grand feast was laid out in the Imperial Palace’s great hall.

Liu Jinshui took to cooking himself, with the many Sea Clan members that originally resided at the bottom of the sea, now becoming a meal for the cultivators.

On the grill, Liu Jinshui generously sprinkled cumin, talking non-stop.

“This seafood is nourishing, especially these with cultivation levels; the flesh contains hidden Immortal Yuan Power and is a real tonic!”

“However, you all should take small bites. This flesh is at least at the Human Immortal Realm, eat too much of the essence bloodline which you can’t refine, and you’ll burst.”

“Thank you for the warning, Brother Liu!”

The civil and military officials eyed the feast eagerly. Until now, it was the Sea Clan who were extracting their Bloodline Power for refinement. It was the first time they were reversing the roles and refining the cultivators of the Sea Clan from the Central Origin Realm.

The benefits of the Immortal Realm Sea Clan’s flesh were too significant; with one bite, a person became vibrant with energy, as if burning with fire.

“Quick! Meditate to refine the flesh!”

The Old Dragon King, after eating a tentacle of an octopus, turned red all over, his body steaming hot, and he hurriedly sat down to cultivate.

Just as Liu Jinshui had said, even fellow cultivators at the same realm would benefit enormously from this Immortal Realm flesh, not to mention these ordinary cultivators who weren’t even at the Human Immortal Realm. Being able to consume a tentacle was already their limit.

“Damn, Ol’Fatty ate too much, seems like I have some indigestion!”

Liu Jinshui muttered to himself; just before, he had single-handedly devoured an entire sea lion, his stomach now round and bloated, as he sat cross-legged to concentrate on refining the accumulated essence within him.

Li Xiaobai stood up and instructed the guards outside the palace, “Bring these slices of flesh, distribute them below, within the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, a slice for every citizen!”

“Yes!”

“Thank you, Prince Consort!”
