I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1047 - 1048: Blowing Up the Fish Pond
Chapter 1047 -1048: Blowing Up the Fish Pond
With those words, Li Xiaobai swept his longsword horizontally, and a pitch-black sword beam slashed through the air in Han Buzhu’s astonished gaze. The very next second, Han Buzhu felt the world spinning wildly, and then he saw his own headless body slump to the ground. After that, darkness enveloped his vision, and life left him entirely.
Even in death, his face retained an expression of shock and disbelief.
“Bang!”
As his life and dao vanished, the storages within his Dantian burst forth, scattering copious resources all over, filling the entire boat to the brim.
Only then did Uncle Han snap out of it, his somewhat dazed eyes now brimming with fear and fury.
“Young Master!”
“You actually killed my Young Master!”
“You truly have an audacious sky-reaching nerve. Do you realize that by stirring up trouble on the Southern Continent you will face endless pursuit, relentlessly hunted until death?”

Uncle Han bellowed in anger, feeling a chill deep in his heart at the death of Han Buzhu. He was the Young Master’s guard tasked with his safety, yet now Han Buzhu lay dead right before him. Even if he managed to escape from Li Xiaobai today, returning to the sect would only lead him down a path to certain death.
He was finished. With the Young Master’s death, as a servant, he faced no other fate but death.
“I’ve killed so many; which of them wasn’t stronger than your Icy Frost Sect? I said ‘kill’ and the cultivators from the Buddhist Sect and the Blood Demon Sect were dead. What is a mere large sect to me?”
“Die!”
Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently, swinging his longsword once again. The black sword beam swept across, instantly tearing the old man before him into shreds.
A scarlet glow flashed in the void once more.
“Sin Value: Ten million and eighty thousand!”
“Hmph, there’s always some scoundrel trying to harm me.”
Li Xiaobai sheathed his sword and swept up all the spoils on the boat. A mere large sect dared to threaten him? He had offended Super Sects aplenty, and countless masters sought his life. The Icy Frost Sect was nothing to concern him.
“Young Master Li is mighty!”
Uncle Huo was overwhelmed with shock, his mind starting to crash. Too much had happened today, all beyond his comprehension, and he no longer knew what to say.
Having tested his strength earlier, he knew this young man’s cultivation level wasn’t ordinary and shouldn’t be taken lightly, but he had never imagined the young man was such a genius to reach Semi-Saint strength at such a young age?
“Did we provoke him before?”
“It seems I even insulted this big shot?”
Huo Yuhao and the Huo Family girl couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat when they thought back to their encounter earlier. They had dared to point fingers and speak rudely to such a terrifying existence?
Being alive at this moment truly made them grateful to the heavens. Although Li Xiaobai’s Sin Value had skyrocketed by millions, he did not seem like a bloodthirsty killer. Otherwise, the Huo Family would have been decimated long ago.
“A mere Heavenly Immortal Realm, I can extinguish them with a wave of my hand. No cause for concern.”
Li Xiaobai shrugged nonchalantly, his imposing manner dominating the moment.
“Young Master, my worthless younger relatives have been offensive earlier; I beg you not to hold it against them!”
“Once we arrive at Ice Dragon Island, Young Master, please be our guest at the Huo Family branch. We will welcome you with utmost enthusiasm!”
Uncle Huo said somewhat awkwardly, his words filled with respect after witnessing that earth-shattering strength. Even he felt the pressure in the presence of such a powerhouse.
“As the Peak Master of the Second Peak of the Sword Sect, I naturally won’t hold grudges against younger cultivators. If no one offends me, I do not offend them, and the Huo Family, being a family that values proper conduct, has my utmost admiration.”
Li Xiaobai said with a light smile.
“Young Master Li is generous and kind-hearted. Having such a young talent in our world today truly is a blessing for the Central Origin Realm!”
Uncle Huo exclaimed, and this was indeed the truth. Li Xiaobai’s presence had left those so-called geniuses of the Super Sects far behind, and it seemed that he was also from the Sword Sect. Truly, the greatest masters always emerged from the slums.
“Uncle Huo flatters me, it was but a trifling effort, not worth mentioning to others.”
“Regarding today’s events, please Uncle Huo, do not speak of it. Otherwise, both of us could encounter great trouble.”
Li Xiaobai spoke slowly. The cultivators on this ship all knew what it meant to be discreet and to protect themselves. If any cultivator with a loose tongue took to chattering about today’s events, they would likely be sought out by the powerful experts of the Super Sects without him needing to say more.
It was safer to keep such incidents, where numerous distinguished clan cultivators met their demise, to oneself. Otherwise, the consequences were endless, and Li Xiaobai and those notable clans were not entities one could afford to offend.
“Rest assured, young master, just now, my Huo Family did not see anything.”
Uncle Huo said with a solemn expression.
…
The sea was calm, everything returned to as it was before. The ships behind them had vanished at some point, probably scared off early on by the Fish King, not witnessing the spectacle of Li Xiaobai’s great slaughter.
On the deck, old goat and other cultivators regained their composure, their expressions slightly stunned.
“Thank you, Young Master Li, for slaying the fish demon and rescuing us cultivators from peril for the second time. This kindness, old goat will never forget in my lifetime!”
“This journey’s peace is all thanks to the protection of the great hero. Once we reach shore, this humble old man will have an effigy erected at the bow in your honor, praying for favorable winds and rains—old goat swears to keep his word!”
Old Goat’s admiration for Li Xiaobai’s prowess was wholehearted; he couldn’t even comprehend the realm in which Li Xiaobai operated. While the Heavenly Immortal Realm might occasionally appear in their lives, Li Xiaobai’s strength was on a completely different dimensional plane.
It was beyond their wildest imaginations.
“The case is closed. Those Demonic Beasts were drawn here by cultivators from the Icy Frost Sect, who disregarded the safety of all involved, utterly detestable. Now that I have slain these scoundrels, our future voyage should be smooth sailing, so everyone can rest easy.”
Li Xiaobai declared.
“Young Master Li is invincible, eliminating over thirty Heavenly Immortal Realm villains in one fell swoop. Surely, you have reached the mythic threshold of initiation into sainthood?”
“At the very least, he’s a Semi-Saint. Who would have guessed that a fellow traveler would turn out to be a hidden Heavenly Immortal Realm assassin, with Young Master Li as the target!”
“Yes, indeed. No wonder Old Goat bragged to us earlier that the travelers on board today were wealthy; turns out they were all Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivators, who naturally wouldn’t care about one or two premium Immortal Stones!”
“Shush, speak cautiously. Even though the assassins are wiped out, we should still be careful in our travels. If those great families trace it back to us, it would spell disaster!”
The deck was abuzz with cultivators whispering amongst themselves, full of longing and reverence, the terrifying scenes from earlier still vivid in their memory.
“How long until the ship reaches the Southern Continent?”
Li Xiaobai approached Old Goat to inquire.
“Two more days to arrival, and we’ll be swift so long as no more trouble arises on the route,” Old Goat answered.
“Relax, after today, there will be no more harassment from the Sea Clan Demonic Beasts on this route.”
Li Xiaobai casually took out several Star of Earthly Explosions with a flick of his wrist, implying that there was still a Little Prince in these seas he had no time to look for, and it would be most convenient to lure him out into the open.
Old Goat was shocked. “Young master, what are you planning to do?”
Li Xiaobai simply replied, “Blast fishing!”
