I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1000 - 1001: Killed Over a Broken Bowl
Chapter 1000: Chapter 1001: Killed Over a Broken Bowl
Above the firmament, a stream of light shimmered, and a dark purple star space appeared out of nowhere in front of Blade Sect’s gate.
Li Xiaobai, who was currently on a heavily loaded truck, only felt a blur before his eyes, and when clarity restored, his body had already appeared over the Starry Sky Battlefield.
Beneath his feet was a massive starry arena, enclosed by a circular protective barrier separating the space, with a blade-wielding figure standing opposite him, his true features obscured by a conical hat and a straw raincoat, his aura brimming with combativeness.
“This is the Starry Sky Battlefield meant for cultivators of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!”
“Junior brother was forcibly taken away!”
Liu Jinshui’s eyes widened, “Quick, dear nephew, while your master holds off the Blade Sect cultivators, let’s slip away!”
...
“Don’t worry, Uncle Master, we’ll be out of here soon!”
Fu Tiantian’s face was filled with nervousness, experiencing such a grand scene for the first time, and thinking to herself, just having arrived in the Central Origin Realm, was her master’s reputation really that bad?
She didn’t dare to hesitate and fiercely turned the steering wheel, maneuvering the truck towards the gate with a graceful air-bound drift.
The truck was carrying a hundred children, and if they delayed any longer, they feared becoming collateral damage.
As for Li Xiaobai’s safety, the uncle and nephew did not consider it at all, seeing him as slippery as an eel, impossible to grasp.
“Yiyiyaya!”
In the truck, the infant pulled on Ergouzi’s ear, pointing towards Li Xiaobai in the distance within the Starry Sky Battlefield.
Ergouzi waved his paw, showing his disdain, “Don’t bother with that kid, he’s already a mature cultivator, it’s time he learned to escape on his own!”
Ji Wuqing said, “When we get back, we’ll ask the Sword Sect’s Sect Master to rescue him; it’s no big deal, just a minor issue. My legendary experiences throughout this life, filled with dangers, far surpass this. Let me slowly tell you about them!”
Seemingly convinced by the words of the chicken and the dog, the infant calmed down, and an eerie silence fell inside the truck.
“Catch them, don’t let them get away!”
Nearby Blade Sect disciples shouted sternly, each drawing their swords and slashing towards the heavily loaded truck, filling the air with flashes of light and pervasive blade qi.
Liu Jinshui skillfully manipulated his golden hoop knife above and below, creating an impenetrable defense, blocking out the slashing blade qi.
“Damn it, can’t you see there are so many children? Why use lethal force?”
“Ol’ Fatty curses you to have children without butts!”
Liu Jinshui cursed angrily, not out of fear of the fierce attacks but from outrage that the Blade Sect cultivators had no regard for the lives of the hundred children, showing no intention to spare them in their deadly assault.
“Who dares cause trouble at my Blade Sect!”
An aged voice echoed from the void, as a golden long knife descended from the sky, stabilizing the empty space in front of the gate, causing the truck to halt abruptly and everyone, unprepared for the sudden stop, to fall to the ground. They tried to get up, but their bodies felt as if enveloped by the weight of ten thousand tons, unable to even slightly move.
An old man treaded forward, his entire being as sharp as an unsheathed blade, his eyes golden and emitting a scorching aura, blinding to any ordinary person who dared meet his gaze.
“The Great Elder, it’s the Great Elder!”
The Blade Sect disciples were excited, for the person who had arrived was the second-in-command of the Blade Sect, a Semi-Saint, with cultivation levels just below that of the Sect Master.
“I’ve sealed their cultivation levels, capture them and bring them up to the main peak to be dealt with by the Sect Master. It’s a good opportunity to display the power of the Blade Sect in front of other major forces!”
The Great Elder said indifferently, hands behind his back. The Blade Sect had three Semi-Saints, which is why it could comfortably hold its ground. However, ever since the incident in the Minor Ghost World where one of them was killed by Sword Sect’s Sect Master Ying Diao, the status of the Blade Sect had fallen drastically, with discordant voices about Sword Sect’s rise and Blade Sect’s decline reaching his ears.
Today was a perfect opportunity to assert their power!
“Yes!”
The old man turned around, looking towards the situation within the Starry Sky Battlefield, his lips curling unconsciously, “Heaven has a path you did not take, hell has no door yet you come of your own accord, just worrying about where to capture you, and here you go causing trouble at the Blade Sect without Senior Xiao Lao Di’s protection, I’d like to see how you plan to die this time!”
“Ye Sandao, disable this boy and bring him before the Sect Master, let the world see what happens to those who dare defy the Blade Sect!”
“You’ve done well today, the sect will surely reward you handsomely!”
Inside the Starry Sky Battlefield, Li Xiaobai’s heart felt cold; he had seen Liu Jinshui and the others being taken away.
Liu Jinshui had nearly reached the mountain gate with one final step to go when the figure in the conical hat unexpectedly initiated the Starry Sky Battlefield—an opportunity he could not refuse.
“Li Xiaobai, do you recognize me?”
the figure in the conical hat spoke softly.
“Good dogs don’t stand in the way; only obstacles do!”
Li Xiaobai retracted his gourd and responded coldly.
“Hmph, sharp-tongued boy, I am Ye Sandao, the twin brother of Ye Yidao. You must be very familiar with that name, right?”
the figure in the conical hat said with a chilling tone.
“So, you are his elder brother. I must say, there is a world of difference between you two. Just to delay my progress, you initiate the Starry Sky Battlefield. Ye Yidao would never do such a cunning thing.”
Li Xiaobai shook his head slowly. Although the swordsman before him also possessed cultivation at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he paled in comparison to the unmatched sharpness that Ye Yidao exhibited—too bad it all perished in the Minor Ghost World.
“Ridiculous fool, you think I initiated the Starry Sky Battlefield just to delay you? You think too highly of yourself!”
“Initiating the Starry Sky Battlefield was meant to kill you!”
Ye Sandao, overwhelmed with fury, couldn’t contain his murderous intent. With a lick of his blade, a crimson tint seeped into the blade, and a bloody blade qi erupted to sever the heavens and cleaved toward Li Xiaobai.
“Nether Soul Blade!”
The bloody blade qi transformed into a gracefully dancing lady in red, twirling around Li Xiaobai enchantingly, smooth as a serpent.
Streams of red mist enveloped the arena, enclosing them both.
The cultivators outside the arena all shook their heads involuntarily.
“Li Xiaobai is being way too arrogant. Facing Brother Ye who is capable of transcending levels in combat, he remains unguarded. Even though he is also a cultivator at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, he is now doomed to fall under that blade!”
“Indeed, both the blood-colored dancer and pink mist are composed of blade qi and blade intent, seductive on one hand and lethally invisible on the other. It’s terrifying to the extreme. It’s said that only the geniuses from the Super Sects can withstand such an attack at the same level!”
“Naturally, Brother Ye is a well-known expert ranked fifty on the Immortal Ranking!”
“Hmph, to underestimate our Blade Sect like this deserves such a fate! Only by turning him into countless broken pieces will it suffice!”
The disciples commented with sarcasm in their tones, imagining the bloody scene inside the battlefield while the red mist had yet to clear.
After several breaths, the Starry Sky Battlefield did not dissipate.
As the red mist cleared, everyone involuntarily widened their eyes.
“Is this a joke?”
On the Starry Sky Arena, Li Xiaobai was still standing intact, without a single scratch!
Ye Sandao’s body trembled slightly: “At the same Heavenly Immortal Realm, you actually blocked my blade with your body, you are strong! But not invincible, my blade intent could pierce through the heavens!”
“It seems you haven’t realized the vast chasm-like difference between us.”
“Well then, today I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Li Xiaobai flipped his wrist, took out a small, broken bowl, slowly raised it while Ye Sandao watched in confusion and then softly said, “Come into the bowl!”
“Swish!”
Without any warning, a flash of golden light burst forth, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Sandao had disappeared.
In the void, the Starry Sky Battlefield vanished, leaving only Li Xiaobai walking out.
The disciples of the Blade Sect were petrified. What just happened?

Where did their Brother Ye go?
Was he really defeated by a mere broken bowl?
