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

Chapter 971: Chapter 972: Master, Do You Have an Escape Talisman?

“This name lacks a bit of maturity. From now on, you shall be called Ma Chong, styled Niu Bi, capturing the essence of soaring to the heavens.”

Li Xiaobai looked at the infant and said.

“Thank you, Master, for bestowing a name!”

Fu Tiantian bowed deeply in thanks once again.

“Are you two blood siblings?”

“What about your family members?”

...

Li Xiaobai tore off a chicken leg and tossed it to Fu Tiantian as he asked.

“To report back to my Master, I found Ma Chong by the roadside. I came from the Central Province, and my family lives in Devil Cloud Cave in the Central Province. They have now been wiped out by the cultivators from the Central Origin Realm.”

Fu Tiantian’s expression turned gloomy. The Central Province had completely fallen and become a gathering place for numerous disciples of the Central Origin Realm. Few forces like the Devil Cloud Cave, which refused to submit, were ultimately wiped out by the experts from the Central Origin Realm. She was sent out by her grandfather, who fought to his death to save her.

She had thought that life under the Buddhist Sect in the Western Desert would be somewhat better, but the situation here was even worse.

“So it was. The Devil Cloud Cave was actually destroyed. The cultivators from the Central Origin Realm are truly lawless.”

“I remember Yang Chen and Ling Feng once stayed in Devil Cloud Cave for a while. Now that they have joined a Super Sect in the Central Origin Realm, do these cultivators from the Upper Realm not have the slightest respect?”

Li Xiaobai frowned, the sect where his fourth and fifth senior brothers had stayed, was now wiped out?

“The ones who took action were the cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect. They fear no sects, acting wildly and arrogantly without any taboos. Anyone who slightly resists or disobeys is executed on the spot.”

Fu Tiantian said.

“Yi yi ya ya!”

The baby suddenly stood up and danced around, performing a set of “Drunken Fist” on the spot.

Li Xiaobai looked on in amazement, “I understand what you mean. Let’s first topple the Western Desert, and then turn to extinguish the Blood Demon Sect!”

“Yi yi ya ya!”

Imitating Li Xiaobai, the infant put his hands behind his back and crawled back into the wooden barrel.

Li Xiaobai poured some water into the barrel and patched it up with building materials, turning it into a simple bathhouse where the baby seemed to enjoy himself immensely.

Fu Tiantian touched the water in the barrel, and in an instant, a dazzling light surged within her Dantian and a Golden Core appeared at the lower abdomen. She had actually broken through!

Shock filled her eyes. What kind of Holy Water was this, a mere touch induced an immediate breakthrough! She had never seen such a miraculous thing; to call it a supreme treasure would not be an overstatement!

“No need to carry this wooden board with you, get on my chariot.”

Li Xiaobai took out a large basin filled with water, tossed Fu Tiantian into it, and placed both the large and small basins onto the golden chariot. They transformed into a streak of light and disappeared.

An hour later.

Outside Bodhi Temple, the elder yellow-robed monk had a look of worry. It had been almost half an hour, and his disciple had not yet returned. Could it be true what the girl had said? That her family was really waiting nearby, and she had run straight into trouble?

“Yin Zhen! Go check why your brother Shan Xu has not returned. Has he encountered some trouble?”

The elder monk instructed a young novice beside him.

“Yes!”

The novice put down the bowl and soup spoon in his hands, ready to leave, but suddenly heard a loud thunderous noise.

Over the wasteland, a golden chariot sped forward, heading toward Bodhi Temple. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived close by.

“Li Xiaobai has arrived, you old man from Heavenly God Sect, come out and meet your doom!”

On the golden chariot, the young man in white robes held a longsword in his arms and declared loudly.

“Who is that young man!”

“Those are the two infants from before. They really do have elders accompanying them!”

“Yin Zhen, hurry and invite the Elder from Heavenly God Sect to come here!”

The yellow-robed monk’s pupils shrank and he immediately waved his hand to send the novice back into the temple.

“A master has come knocking at the door!”

“The Heavenly God Sect captures children everywhere, and Bodhi Temple aids the tyrant. It was only a matter of time before someone came knocking, but I wonder if this young man is really a match for those cultivators from the Central Origin Realm!”

“Yes, the cultivators from the Central Origin Realm are like heavenly beings, each with immortal presence and white hair, even Master Xuan Bei has to serve them carefully. This youngster, being inexperienced, might find it tough.”

The commoners receiving relief food scattered to either side at this scene, looking frightened.

They were just ordinary commoners, daring not to come into contact with such tough characters who blatantly disrupted the place, for fear of involving innocent bystanders.

“Amitabha, who may you be, sir, and do you have any important matters to discuss at the Bodhi Temple?”

The elderly monk in the yellow robe stepped forward, his courage forced as he sought to probe Li Xiaobai’s background.

“I am Li Xiaobai. I’ve come today to take the esteemed masters to a place.” @@novelbin@@

Li Xiaobai said cheerfully.

“Hmm?”

“To where?”

The elder monk in the yellow robe asked, somewhat puzzled.

“To send the masters to the Western Paradise!”

The crowd only saw a flash of cold light, and the yellow-robed monk, along with a dozen or so other monks behind him, were instantly dismembered, dead beyond death.

When they regained their senses, the young man on the golden chariot had already sheathed his longsword, returning to his indifferent demeanor.

“The food on the table is all good food, don’t waste it. Help yourselves.”

Li Xiaobai said to the surrounding commoners with frightened faces.

“Thank you, Immortal, for taking action!”

“The Immortal’s mana is boundless!”

The crowd flattered with a few words and then rushed forward, sweeping the food off the table like a whirlwind.

“This Immortal, the Heavenly God Sect is from the Central Origin Realm and is no match for these monks of the Bodhi Temple. They are real Living Immortals. You should leave quickly, or it will be too late when they come out!”

“Yes, we appreciate your good intentions, sir, but it would be best if you depart swiftly. The Heavenly God Sect is not something to trifle with!”

An older cultivator said worriedly, looking at Li Xiaobai. In their opinion, this young man, though powerful, was certainly no match for the Heavenly God Sect. They were real immortals who could easily suppress someone of Master Xuan Ku’s caliber, not someone to be challenged lightly.

“Don’t worry, my master is very strong! The mere Heavenly God Sect means nothing. We’re going to sweep through the entire Western Desert!”

Fu Tiantian said earnestly to the elders before him.

“Yiyiyaya!”

The baby also gesticulated, meaning to reassure everyone.

The cultivators looked at each other, each seeing the helplessness in the others’ eyes. Fine words indeed, but the two youngsters being carried in a wooden bucket hardly looked convincing!

“Well, that’s as much as can be said. You’ve killed people from the Bodhi Temple, and the Heavenly God Sect will surely be enraged. I can’t withstand their fury, so I must take my leave!”

“Take care, Immortal!”

The commoners divided up the food and quickly departed, as it was easy to predict that a bloody storm was about to sweep through.

“Master, these people really have no eye for talent, to doubt your strength,” said Fu Tiantian from inside the wooden tub.

“No matter, the strong are always alone. Being unbeatable is a kind of loneliness. You’ll understand when you’re older,” Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently.

Fu Tiantian: “Master, I believe in you!”

Li Xiaobai: “Hmm, that’s very good.”

“Could you bestow me with some Magic Treasure or talisman?”

“What do you want?”

Fu Tiantian: “Master, do you have an Escape Talisman?”

Li Xiaobai: “???”
