I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 2081 - 2108: Angel and Goddess of Love
Li Xiaobai absorbed the Laws of the cultivators in Tianfeng City. After the terrifying pressure of the previous battle, no one dared to resist.
People watched in disbelief as their own Laws were siphoned away and, due to practicing the Material Fist Technique, their cultivation level was completely lost, leaving them without tears to cry.
"Cultivate well and strive to restore your original realm as soon as possible. This Cultivation Technique perfectly counters traditional cultivation methods; you’ve gained greatly."
Li Xiaobai chuckled, comforted City Lord Ling Tian briefly, and with a flicker of his form, he vanished.
The crowd was left in disarray; they had indeed pioneered a new cultivation system. There was nothing wrong with the Cultivation Technique alone, but something just felt off.
Their practice of the fist technique indeed countered traditional cultivators, but the problem was that now the entire city, and even the whole Divine Realm’s cultivators, practiced this fist technique. Everyone was starting from the same point; does it even matter if it counters them or not?
"Ling brother, think about it another way. If everyone practices this fist technique and we don’t, we’ll be eliminated by the tide of the times. We’re actually catching a wave of benefits."
The Deputy City Lord consoled. Although his cultivation was lost, his mood improved considerably.
Originally, he never had the possibility of surpassing Ling Tian in his lifetime, but just now, he felt his progress in practicing the fist technique surpassed Ling Tian.
This meant that in his lifetime, he had the opportunity to surpass Ling Tian and become the true City Lord of Tianfeng City. For how many years, he finally had hope of being officially recognized!
Thank you, Sect Hierarch, thank you, Materialism!
Ling Tian didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Amongst so many cultivators present, he was the last to start practicing. His compatibility with the Materialist Fist was not high, and his future cultivation would inevitably be a series of shackles, an old dog’s fate.
The cultivators stood up, ready to return to the city and digest today’s events.
However, at this moment, the sky was filled with dark clouds, and a thick golden beam of light descended from the heavens. A man and woman emerged.
The two were enveloped in radiant light, making it impossible for people to look directly at their true forms.
"Xiao Ai, this person’s last aura stopped here, and then disappeared."
"He must have obtained the Law of Concealing Aura here, and it’s quite extensive. Also, stop calling me Xiao Ai."
The two conversed, walking to Ling Tian and asking, "Who is the City Lord?"
"I... I am..."
Ling Tian wore a pained expression, trembling with fear. He didn’t know which deity this was again; he had just seen one off, and now two more had come. His life was truly miserable.
The man asked, "Did you see a young man who can plunder others’ Laws and Visualized Items and claims to be the Sect Hierarch of the Divine Sect?"
Ling Tian said, "He left not long ago; the Laws of our city’s cultivators were all taken by him."
"Which direction did he go?"
"East."
"Good, I hope you are not lying to me."
The golden light flickered, and the two disappeared; the city outside returned to normal.
"Could those just now have been gods..."
The Deputy City Lord seemed to think of something but hesitated to speak.
Ling Tian made a shushing gesture: "Saw nothing, heard nothing, know nothing, got it?"
...
At the same time.
Below Xiaoyao City.
Li Xiaobai stumbled and fell to the ground.
He had many more thousands of Laws, entirely unable to figure out which Laws were uncontrolled.
Despite communicating with [Wealthy Li Xiaobai] to try to suppress the Laws, different powers still erupted from his body every moment.
He knew that [Wealthy Li Xiaobai] was also reaching its limit, unable to suppress all the Laws and Visualized Items, yet reluctant to let him take the Laws away, resulting in a stalemate.
His hand touched the ground, and the surface instantly thrived, with towering trees shooting up and swiftly engulfing the city. The city gates were crushed in an instant, buildings toppled amidst the dust, and flying swords sliced through the sky, observing everything from above.
"Damn, is this the Law of Life?"
"An entire primeval forest grew in an instant, that’s pretty fierce."
Li Xiaobai quickly withdrew his hand.
He broke off a branch, intending to exert full power, when suddenly he was overwhelmed by a surge of Frost Qi, and a sense of foreboding emerged.
This was the Law related to sixth sense warning him, indicating an impending danger.
"Danger?"
"The only ones who could threaten me are deities; are there gods coming?"
Li Xiaobai furrowed his brow, left behind a Saint King Realm Great Resentment Species, and then swiftly burrowed underground.
In the next moment.
Two golden lights flashed, and a man and a woman emerged.
The man was astonished: "It’s here, no mistake. This child’s power has evolved to a terrifying degree. A few days ago, it took him a cup of tea’s time to travel from one city to another, and now it only takes about ten breaths."
The woman said, "He can plunder Laws, and acquiring the Space Law would significantly speed up his travel. But judging from the situation here, it seems he has devoured too many Laws, unable to control them, and his body is starting to malfunction."
"Such luck, if I had had such a Law back then, I would have become a god long ago. Even after becoming a god, I could continuously enhance my power. But after today, this ability will belong to me. Xiao Ai, you won’t fight me for it, right?"
"Don’t call me Xiao Ai, you piece of shit."
"Address me as Angel."
The man glanced at a figure hiding behind a large tree: "Leaving a puppet, you underestimate us. Get him out."
With that, he lightly stomped his foot, and the ground was instantly torn asunder, creating a deep chasm. A prolonged rumbling ensued, the ground splitting apart, exposing Li Xiaobai who was hiding underground.
"Come out, young man. We can talk before you die, so you leave no regrets."
The man said with a smile.
Li Xiaobai looked at the exaggerated scene before him: "To send two deities to kill me, what a grand gesture. I’m just a little figure, am I worth such treatment from you?"
"Hahaha, rest assured, young man. We don’t discriminate; every intruder is hosted by two deities. Your master, the God of Strength, even has three deities accompanying her, so you won’t be lonely on the Yellow Springs Bridge."
"There’s a saying, ’Not born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but wishing to die on the same day of the same month of the same year.’ The farce should end quickly."
The man laughed heartily, looking at Li Xiaobai with interest. It was the first time he had seen a young man who remained calm knowing he was in a fatal predicament. Compared to his underlings, the Divine Child, none could match him.
Li Xiaobai climbed out from the abyss: "Then, what gods are you two?"
The man courteously replied: "Angel God. This is the Goddess of Love. Don’t you think we make a great pair?"
Li Xiaobai nodded: "Not just a great pair, you’re a match made in heaven. If you don’t mind, I’d be happy to officiate your wedding. How about you let me go?"
The Goddess of Love spoke coldly: "It’s time to act."
"What’s the rush? Such a rare genius, I want to hear his thoughts."
"Young man, analyze for us, why is Xiao Ai eager to kill you, yet I’m in no hurry?"
The Angel God looked at Li Xiaobai with a smile, like a teacher questioning a student in class.
Li Xiaobai responded without hesitation: "You want to wait for someone to rescue me and then catch them all in one go. But your tactic of delaying time is too clumsy, are you really a god? When I first saw you, I saw right through you. If you want my life, come take it. I just happen to need to slay gods to ascend to the Divine Throne."
"Since you two don’t want me to officiate the wedding, just be the stepping stones on my path to godhood."
