I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 452: 453: Sea-Calming Divine Needle
Chapter 452 -453: Sea-Calming Divine Needle
Golden waves towered to the sky, as Liuren wielded the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, transforming into a mini sun that descended with unmatched might, crashing fiercely against Ancestor Huorong.
As the two clashed, their energy erupted, Liuren’s eyes filled with ruthless intensity. He thrust his staff, shattering Ancestor Huorong’s scales on his chest into pieces, with blood spraying and flesh blurring.
The Sea-Calming Divine Needle augmented his attack, sweeping the formidable Primordial Spirit Power, the scorching aura flushing through, instantly crushing Ancestor Huorong’s Primordial Spirit Phantom.
His strikes unabated, the staff swept horizontally.
The first blow broke the defense!
The second shattered bones!
The third annihilated the spirit!
The ground trembled unceasingly from the impact, the entire first battlefield shook as if heaven and earth were being overturned.
Ancestor Huorong spat blood, his body fractured, careening through the air in a bizarre trajectory, his eyes filled with disbelief.
As he crashed to the ground, a large portion of his chest caved in, blood gushing out as if money meant nothing.
Struggling, he turned his head towards the “brothers” who had retreated a good distance away, his eyes brimming with resentment and rage.
“I curse your family’s Immortals!”
“Weren’t we supposed to strike together? Why did you chicken out?”
Ancestor Huorong was furiously enraged. These scoundrels had actually baited him to fight alone while they hid, the epitome of treachery.
Caught off-guard, his mind and defenses were breached, allowing the Sea-Calming Divine Needle’s aura to invade his body, incessantly burning his organs. The Qilin Primordial Spirit Phantom also cracked along a fissure, his Primordial Spirit Power damaged, his spirits severely dampened.
“Cough cough, Qilin Ancestor, Ancestor of Decorum, every action you take conveys the way of etiquette in the world, they are known as the acts of a gentleman. This collective assault, it’s truly not what a gentleman would do. In order to prevent Ancestor Huorong’s moral heart from wavering, we painfully refrained from acting!” spoke an elder with beard and eyebrows slowly. He was the ancestor from Qi Sect, who had already decided before arriving that he would take advantage of anyone possible today.

For each old fellow he deceived, there would be one less threat when vying for the Immortal Spirit Qi in the future.
“Indeed, we, as the pinnacle powers of the Mainland and Ancestors of various clans, naturally need to set an example for the younger generation. Overpowering through numbers, forgive me for being frank, but our pride and cultivation level do not permit us to do such things!”
The other elders nodded vigorously, their faces filled with a look of stern righteousness, as if they were true gentlemen who would rather suffer defeat than bully the few.
“Very well… That was very noble, I’ll remember it!” said Ancestor Huorong, his expression fierce, eyes almost shooting flames, gritting his teeth as he spoke. He knew these people were shameless, but he didn’t expect them to be so utterly shameless. Have they no sense of dignity or self-respect as powerful beings? Don’t they feel ashamed?
“Hmm, no need to thank us, maintaining the moral heart for a comrade from days past is a righteous task we are bound to do,” all the Ancestors said in unison, their faces serious.
“Pfft!”
Ancestor Huorong, overwhelmed by anger, spat out another mouthful of blood due to mental instability, and the world before him darkened, collapsing to the ground.
The Sea-Calming Divine Needle was indeed a treasure; the injuries it caused were difficult to recover from quickly. In the battle for the Immortal Spirit Qi, he feared he would be eliminated.
“Bang!”
Liuren planted the golden staff in his hand into the ground, creating a deep pit, and looked towards everyone before slowly saying, “So, what do you say?”
“Eastern Sea’s Aolai Country has always been a recluse, with no ties or disputes with us. Naturally, we have no reason to act against the Vice Leader. However, it seems the person at the Vice Leader’s feet has some connections with the Three Sects’ Ancestors, perhaps they seek accountability?”
An ancestor spoke up, pointing the finger directly at the Three Sects’ Ancestors the moment he opened his mouth.
“That’s right, and I’ve heard that previously the Sea-Calming Divine Needle appeared above Central Province. Though it was a hit-and-run, the energy it wielded is not something ordinary cultivators could withstand.”
Another elder with fluttering white hair chuckled, as he had been genuinely shocked when the Sea-Calming Divine Needle had appeared that day.
Upon hearing this, the expression of the Three Sects’ Ancestors changed. They too had noticed the young man lying on the ground early on but had not found the right opportunity to take him away.
Moreover, they hadn’t planned on questioning the Vice Leader from the start; that was a lost cause. The man was too strong.
Even the Ancestor of Fire Qilin Cave had been crippled. Putting them in the spotlight now would be utterly insidious.
Qi Sect’s Ancestor glared resentfully at the person who had just spoken, considering himself perhaps not human, but the other was truly a dog.
“Cough cough, indeed, we do have some connections with Young Master Li. Initially, my followers speculated that the Sea-Calming Divine Needle was released by Young Master Li, so we simply wished to inquire and see if it was indeed his doing, with no other intentions,” said Qi Sect’s Ancestor with a face full of smiles, trying his best to look amiable while speaking slowly.
He was indeed very wary of the battle-ready Liuren, who had already entered a state of readiness. If a fight broke out, it would undoubtedly be a fight to the death.
“Young Master Li?”
“The Sea-Calming Divine Needle?”
“The Sea-Calming Divine Needle that appeared in Central Province came from Li Xiaobai?”
Liuren looked at Li Xiaobai, who was firmly grounded, with some confusion. Suddenly, it clicked; he remembered the name as one being hunted by the various clans of Central Province.
Li Xiaobai frequently made the headlines in the Immortal Spirit Daily for causing trouble all over the place and stirring up constant disputes, yet he always managed to escape unscathed. This person must possess a treasure of great value.
“This is what we believe, and as for the Vice Leader, do not be fooled by this boy’s submissive appearance on the ground under suppression. If he truly wishes to leave, not even the Sea-Calming Divine Needle could hold him down. Utmost care is necessary!” Qi Sect’s Ancestor continued, recalling the incident with the Three Sects in Central Province as if it was yesterday. A living person had managed to escape right under the noses of many ancestors; he must have had some kind of treasured item unknown to the world that helped him escape.
“Oh?”
“Is that so?”
Hearing this, a glint of interest flashed across Liuren’s eyes, and he swung his golden staff directly at Li Xiaobai’s head, showing no hesitation whatsoever.
“I’ll be damned…”
As the sound of cutting air approached his ears, Li Xiaobai cursed inwardly. Even while passively accepting suppression on the ground, he found himself subject to undeserved disaster. The people of the Three Sects were truly troublemakers, ruining his plans!
Li Xiaobai wouldn’t dare to confront Liuren’s Sea-Calming Divine Needle; that staff was too fierce, able to breach his defenses with a single strike. If Liuren attacked in earnest, severe injury was a real possibility.
With a thought, a golden talisman appeared in his hand, an Instant Transmission Talisman he had prepared in advance.
The talisman activated, transforming into a blazing fire before becoming a ray of golden light that entered Li Xiaobai’s body, vanishing from the spot in an instant. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
“Bang!”
An ancient aura erupted, the Sea-Calming Divine Needle shone brilliantly, and a great rift that seemed bottomless tore open the earth, presenting a fierce visage for all to behold.
