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

Chapter 1125: Chapter 1126: Opening the Little Umbrella, At Peace with the World Chapter 1125: Chapter 1126: Opening the Little Umbrella, At Peace with the World “Much appreciated!”

With joy in his heart, Liu Jinshui heard the other party’s confident words, which comforted him like a calming pill. Before this moment, he was unaware of who the formidable Wu Chengjue from the Eastern Continent Enforcement Team was, only knowing that he too was a prodigy at the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Had it not been for the guidance of his master, he wouldn’t have joined forces with him.

However, it now seemed that this Wu Chengjue was not on the same side as Li Xiaobai, and had the confidence to take down the young prodigy from the Super Sect, which was rather impressive. On his side, there was one more powerful ally.

On the arena.

A woman in a gorgeous, multicolored dress stood elegantly, holding an oil-paper umbrella, facing Liu Jinshui, who stood firmly with his sword at the ready.

“Senior Wu, we meet again. I’ve missed you since the day we parted, and I didn’t expect our next meeting to be on the arena. I do hope you’ll show some mercy,”
Liu Jinshui said with a chuckle, appearing very polite.

“It doesn’t matter. Someone has offered me money to defeat you. There’s still time to step down from the stage,”
Wu Chengjue replied, hands clasped behind her back, a faint blue glimmer in her eyes as she spoke slowly.

Her appearance immediately captivated the audience. People hadn’t noticed much about her before, but now they saw the aura she emitted and her unapproachable ice-cold demeanor, which seemed no less formidable than that of Su Yunbing and Ye Wushuang.

“Who is this woman? Could she be a member of the Eastern Continent Enforcement Team? The Deputy Helmsman?”

In the spectator seats, the watching crowd looked surprised, wondering how they hadn’t noticed such a high-level expert before, whose cultivation level and imposing manner far exceeded those of her peers.

“Here’s another outstanding prodigy, and it seems she’s neither a Sect Disciple nor a member of the Villian’s Guild!”

“Who cares? Anyway, I believe Brother Liu. I’ve already bet my Immortal Stones on his opponent. If he loses after a lazy fight, I stand to make a huge amount of Immortal Stones.”

The cultivators were all chattering, eagerly anticipating the battle on the arena.

“Thanks for the kind words, Senior Wu, but since we’ve come all this way, it doesn’t seem right to just cowardly walk away now. Why don’t we try a few moves to test each other out?”

Liu Jinshui touched his head, still with a grin on his face.

Below the arena.

Su Yunbing frowned slightly: “Do you know the person on the stage? She seems to have formidable cultivation, and the pressure of her aura is quite oppressive.”

Li Xiaobai hurriedly explained, “She is the Deputy Helmsman of the Eastern Continent Enforcement Team, Wu Chengjue, with cultivation at the Heavenly Immortal Realm. She traveled with me and the Sixth Elder in the Western Continent Buddha Nation before.”

“I see. Her aura isn’t something an ordinary cultivator can compare to. The Sixth Disciple seems to have met his match,”
Lin Yin added, nodding slowly.

“This young lady is impressive. The Frost Qi within her is extremely pure, clearly not achieved by hurriedly seeking success. On a steady and firm path, the purity of her Frost Qi is even stronger than the cultivators of the Dragon Race on Ice Dragon Island,”
Yan Zuzi said, nodding repeatedly while watching Wu Chengjue on the arena, his eyes filled with admiration.

On the arena.

Liu Jinshui and Wu Chengjue faced each other from a distance. From atop a stone pillar, the Great Elder announced in a loud voice, “The match begins!”

The arena was silent, as an invisible aura with great pressure descended through the void, bearing an intense chill. Wu Chengjue, with her hands still behind her back, didn’t move an inch, her dress fluttering without any wind. Suddenly, the temperature around the arena plummeted, frosting the ground with a layer of frost.

Liu Jinshui stood still, gripping the golden saber in his hand a bit tighter, as droplets of cold sweat began to form on his forehead.

He could feel a terrifying pressure descending upon him, and at the same time, his physical body and Immortal Yuan Power felt an impending sensation of being frozen and solidified.

“Damn it, isn’t this woman part of the little brother’s group?”

“Why is she turning against her own people now?”

Liu Jinshui’s heart was somewhat unsettled. The only prodigy not belonging to their side had been encountered by him at the start. He was uncertain about the other’s stance. If they had truly been bought over by Long Aotian, should he now make a serious move to take down the opponent?

“Ice Seal!”

Wu Chengjue’s red lips parted slightly, softly exuding cold air. In an instant, the entire arena turned into an ice sculpture, with Liu Jinshui inside also covered by a layer of frost.

Feeling his body growing colder, Liu Jinshui’s eyes showed determination, with a fierce glint passing through, and he made up his mind: It was better to kill mistakenly than to let go. He resolved to first eliminate this Deputy Helmsman from the Eastern Continent, and then all who were left would be his own people!

“Golden Blade Decree!”

Liu Jinshui roared, golden blade aura burst forth from his body, shattering the ice in an instant. A shocking golden blade light shot out, heading straight for Wu Chengjue.

“I’m sorry, Senior Wu, we brothers have important matters to attend to today and can’t be concerned with sentimentality!”

The golden blade light slashed through the sky and earth, and even with protective barriers, the arena was still slashed with gullies. All around were astonished; this one blade’s power was extremely mighty, rarely matched among peers.

“Ice Seal!”

In response, Wu Chengjue remained unmoved, her red lips barely parting to utter two words. The temperature at the scene dropped several notches again. A visible burst of frosty Qi exploded, turning the arena into a world of ice and snow. That towering golden blade light became encased in frost amidst the drifting snowflakes, solidifying into an ice sculpture in mid-air.

“Bang!”

The blade light shattered, turning into ice chunks scattered all over the ground.

“What did you just say?”

Wu Chengjue tilted her head, asking with a smile that was not quite a smile.

“No… nothing…”

Liu Jinshui’s pupils constricted, and his hairs stood on end, with his heart stirring up a storm. His blade aura could be sealed by cold; a peer with superior skills!

This Wu Chengjue before him was a high-level expert on par with him and his brothers!

Having kept a low profile, she possessed such strength. It was truly unthinkable that apart from them, there were others who could reach this step.

“Your blade aura is not bad, but unfortunately, even the sharpest blade will eventually be covered in the Ice and Snow World, hiding its edge.”

“Do you have any other moves? Display them all at once, let me see the so-called strength of the Super Sect’s prodigies.”

Wu Chengjue’s expression was calm, speaking indifferently.

“Damn it, it looks like this woman is serious. Let’s do this!”

“Shall I try the blade aura I recently comprehended?”

“Ol’Fatty’s Blade Aura!”

Liu Jinshui’s eyes narrowed slightly. He felt that the woman before him was somewhat out of control and had to be taken down in this round to prevent any trouble for his younger junior brother later on.

With a swing of his golden blade, a massive golden shadow slowly rose in the void, towering and reaching into the sky. It was an enlarged version of Liu Jinshui in golden color, holding a golden ring blade, eyes like torches, emitting a hot and mighty blade aura, melting all the ice and snow in sight. The terrifying aura broke through the arena’s protective barriers and spread across the entire spectator stands.

“Is this special brew a Blade Aura?”

“Is this the Divine Skills a cultivator of the Heavenly Immortal Realm could exhibit?”

“It’s outrageous. This blade aura actually looks exactly like that fat man, did he comprehend it himself? Such perception is terrifying!”

Among the surrounding cultivators, shock was etched on their faces. This was the first time they had seen the full strength of a Super Sect’s prodigy, and the scene was too shocking.

However, on the stage above, the woman in the embroidered skirt appeared still exceptionally calm, lifting the oil paper umbrella she held and slowly opening it.

“With a small umbrella opened, at peace with the world!”
