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

Chapter 991: Chapter 992: The Sixth Senior Brother Got Beaten Up
 

Liu Jinshui was covered in mud within the cage, having been beaten until his nose was blue and his face swollen, looking utterly miserable.

Seeing Li Xiaobai was like seeing a savior.

“Little junior brother, quickly break this cage, and let’s go back and kill those sneaky old bastards!”

Liu Jinshui shouted, having been fed a Binding Pill by the Sea Clan cultivators, which made it difficult to mobilize the Immortal Yuan Power in his Dantian. He could only passively wait for rescue, luckily, he had spent these days in Aolai Country and, thanks to the attention of two in charge, he hadn’t suffered much.

“Earlier, a cultivator with the surname Liu invaded the depths of the Sea Dragon Palace in the Eastern Sea and killed many Sea Clan cultivators. In the end, he was discovered by the Sea Clan who joined forces to capture him.”

“Fortunately, Aolai Country holds some sway, so those Sea Clan cultivators transferred this young master into our custody. However, this cage is not an object from the Immortal Spirit Continent but an extremely tenacious Magic Treasure, which our power can’t even begin to shake. Therefore, we have no choice but to impose this inconvenience on the young master for the time being,” Master Rong explained from the side.

They couldn’t open the cage with their power; otherwise, they would have released him long ago.

“Hiss! Sixth senior brother, are there really masters on this Immortal Spirit Continent who can hurt you?”

Li Xiaobai looked surprised. Although his sixth senior brother’s cultivation level was only at the standard of the Earth Immortal Realm, his strength was absolutely not weak. He was a rare match among his peers. Yet, a trip to the Sea Clan had left him in such a miserable state, it was almost unimaginable.

“Nonsense, how could mere Sea Clan cultivators hurt me? It was only because they resorted to sneaky tricks and caught me off guard that I fell for it. If I encounter them again, I’ll certainly beat them until they scatter like blossoms in a stream!”

Liu Jinshui, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately jumped up in a fit of rage, clearly agitated by his recent experience with the Sea Clan.

“Demon Sealing Sword Evocation!”

Li Xiaobai swung his longsword, casting a jet-black Sword Intent onto the prison. The impregnable walls corroded and dissipated like smoke and clouds.

“Damn, I’ve been hunting eagles for years, only to have my eyes pecked out by one. Among the Sea Clan, there was a princeling who openly had only two guards at the Earth Immortal Realm. However, the number of Earth Immortal Realm cultivators secretly protecting him amounted to at least twenty. I was merely careless for a moment, and that’s how I fell into their trap!”

Liu Jinshui indignantly complained. He was always the one laying the traps, and no one had ever turned the tables on him before. Today he had truly capsized in the sewer, losing face completely.

“Twenty Earth Immortal Realm guards? Could this young master perhaps be some royal relative or noble of the Sea Clan?”

Li Xiaobai was somewhat surprised. The known cultivators stationed across the entire Immortal Spirit Continent didn’t even total to twenty, showing the Sea Clan was indeed willing to spend a big fortune.

It was unclear whether these twenty Earth Immortal Realm masters were originally there or if they had crossed over from the Central Origin Realm after seeking help. If it was the former, then the identity of that young master was rather intriguing.

“I don’t know, that guy was arrogant and domineering. I must take back the upper hand in this situation!” Liu Jinshui said with a vengeful tone.

“Besides the Earth Immortal Realm, were there any other masters there? Like the Heavenly Immortal Realm?”

Li Xiaobai continued to ask.

“I’m not sure. I was ambushed as soon as I entered the Dragon Palace. In my opinion, those people were lying in wait for you, but I ended up walking into the trap first,”

Liu Jinshui said.

“Aolai Country has always dealt with a steward associated with that young master. We haven’t inquired into the identity or background of the young master. Perhaps the Old Dragon King knows some inside information,”

Master Rong said.

“Never mind, I must go down there anyway. I want to see for myself what kind of den of dragons and tigers this undersea contains.”

“Thank you both for taking care of my senior brother. Let’s go!”

Li Xiaobai’s expression was calm, and a golden chariot appeared beneath his feet. Carrying Liu Jinshui, it turned into a streak of light and disappeared without a trace. Now that his defensive power had reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he feared no one on the Immortal Spirit Continent. Even if the Sea Clan cultivators laid a net in heaven and earth for him, it would be of no use.

Unless there is a Half-Saint Cultivator crossing realms to interfere, everything else is idle talk.

“Third Sister, the Sea Clan comes with a fierce momentum. Do you think he will be a match?”

Watching the golden aura vanish into the distance, Huahuo expressed her concern.

“He was able to slay Master Tianxuan, his strength must have reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm by now. If nothing unexpected happens, recovering the Eastern Sea shouldn’t be a problem.”

“The Immortal Spirit Continent is finally about to witness the rise of a once-in-an-era genius. In the future, this person may become the bridge connecting both realms, acquiring higher resources without having to submit as servants to the major Sects of the Central Origin Realm. It’s time for the Mainland to prosper.”

Master Rong took another sip of tea and slowly said.

Huahuo nodded, “Let’s hope so.”

Li Xiaobai was unaware of their conversation. At this moment, he had already driven the golden chariot into the Eastern Sea.

The last time he came to the Eastern Sea, he hadn’t even reached the Half-Step Human Immortal Realm, but now he was a master of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

The seawater was like nothing to the golden chariot; in an instant, the golden light sank to the seabed where the Undersea City was illuminated by the Luminous Pearls.

“Junior Brother, be careful. It was during the entrance into the city that I got tricked. That pompous young man pretended to be arrogant to provoke me into taking action, and then the cultivators hiding in the shadows surrounded me when I was unprepared. It was utterly despicable!”

Liu Jinshui warned. Once bitten, twice shy, he now had a natural fear of the entrance to the Sea Dragon Palace, always feeling that at any second, a group of masters might burst out to strike him hard.

“Senior Brother, rest assured, today I shall teach them how to behave!”

Li Xiaobai stowed away the golden chariot and walked slowly into the city gate with Liu Jinshui.

The guards at the city gate were still the shrimp and crab duo, but this time they carried heavy shackles around their ankles, making it difficult to walk.

“Brother Shrimp, Brother Crab, who shackled you two up? Does the Old Dragon King not care?”

Li Xiaobai approached and asked.

“It’s Young Master Li!”

“The whole Sea Dragon Palace has been occupied by Sea Clan cultivators, and all the citizens and subjects have been shackled with cumbersome chains, suffering unimaginably. Young Master Li, are you here to eliminate those Sea Clan scoundrels?”

Upon seeing Li Xiaobai, the shrimp soldier’s face lit up with surprise, hardly believing he could meet an old acquaintance in such circumstances.

The crab general, however, was not as enthusiastic and appeared gloomy and disheartened at the side.

“Do not worry, my brothers. I am here to slay demons and uphold justice. I will not let any of these parasites on the Immortal Spirit Continent go unpunished; they will surely be sent to the Western Paradise!”

Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently.

“Brother, I admire your spirit, but it’s not an easy job. Your friend here was here recently and was beaten miserably. Listen to me, run as far as you can and don’t provoke those Central Origin Realm cultivators. Otherwise, it won’t just be a simple beating this time; you could lose your life!”

The shrimp soldier sighed. He was present at the city gate when Liu Jinshui was beaten. Faced with the assault of twenty Earth Immortal Realm cultivators, anyone would be defeated, including Li Xiaobai.

Being enslaved in the Undersea World, they had not seen the Immortal Spirit Daily for a long time and were unaware of Li Xiaobai’s recent glorious achievements.

“It was just a moment of carelessness from Ol’Fatty. Otherwise, what could twenty Earth Immortal Realm cultivators do to me? Believe it or not, if they dare to show up in front of Ol’Fatty again, I’ll thrash them!”

Liu Jinshui was furious, feeling insulted by the contempt from a shrimp.

Li Xiaobai smiled faintly and walked towards the city, “No worries. Since we’re here, we should of course visit the city. There’s nothing for you two brothers to worry about; you’ll soon be free again.”
