I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 793: 794
Chapter 793: 794
“Miss Zhen, well done!”
Li Xiaobai chuckled.
“This… this is what I should do, and I am also very happy to be able to help Young Master,” Zhen Jian said with a forced smile, still looking quite shaken.
“Oh no, someone is coming, and by the looks of it, they’re a master!”
The old beggar took a puff of his Huazi and suddenly looked towards the sky, saying that, he could sense that the incoming person’s Qi was much stronger than anyone he had encountered before.
“Damn it, it must be because we made too much noise just now, we’ve been spotted!”
Ergouzi exclaimed, it too sensed the terrifying Qi, an overwhelming force, far too formidable, undoubtedly a formidable master.
“Giggle, run for it!”
Ji Wuqing bolted.
“Young Master Li, you go first, I’ll stay behind to cover your retreat and buy you some time!”
Zhen Jian said with a determined expression, ready to lay down her life for Li Xiaobai.
Li Xiaobai noticed a hint of joy flash in her eyes, and he instantly understood, this woman must have secretly sent a signal to some powerful figure to lead them to him. No wonder she had been so persistently following them, playing such a trick.
It seemed the newcomer was either a master from the Great Flame Dynasty or a member of the Enforcement Team. Either way, they were beyond his current ability to deal with.
“If that’s the case, then I shall trouble you, Miss!”
Li Xiaobai said indifferently, turned around, and led his group in a swift gallop, quickly disappearing into the distance.
“At last!”
Watching the figures of the group fade away, Zhen Jian’s lips curled into a victorious smile, the Enforcement Team had arrived—she had won!
Along the way, she had taken several opportunities to signal the Enforcement Team without the others noticing, and now they had finally followed the marks she left to get to them. With a real powerhouse intervening, those four notorious criminals were as good as dead!
Ice-cold murderous intent shimmered in Zhen Jian’s eyes, she would return the pain she had endured many times over!
Moments later.
A radiant light descended from the void, and a finely dressed woman appeared before her, slender and tall, carrying a flower umbrella, wearing a pale red brocade dress with her eyes a rare deep blue, exuding a gentle frosty Qi.
Her exquisite features and frosty demeanor unveiled a formidable aura that overshadowed any hint of frailty, seeming not of this world.
For a moment, Zhen Jian was transfixed.
Even as a woman herself, she couldn’t deny being deeply captivated by the presence before her. The pale red brocade dress seemed to be a part of this lady, a perfect fit in every way; one would not find another in the world who could carry such luxurious clothing so effortlessly.
Her entire being radiated a grace that was aloof yet undeniably enthralling, a veritable immortal descended from the heavens.
“Was it you who passed the message to the Enforcement Team?”
The beauty in the brocade dress spoke, immediately snapping Zhen Jian back to reality. She gave an involuntary shiver the moment she caught a glimpse of the blood-red characters floating above the woman’s head.
“Senior is correct, it was I who sent the signals along the way, requesting Senior to take action and eliminate those four major criminals!”
“They sensed Senior’s arrival and fled in that direction!”
“Each of those four criminals is vile beyond measure, so I implore Senior to take action and rid the people of this scourge!”
Zhen Jian hurriedly said, with a look of compassion for the people.
“You have done well by actively working for the Enforcement Team; rewards will not be lacking. Within three days, you may go to the branch of the Enforcement Team to claim your reward.”
“Our Enforcement Team does not shortchange anyone,”
the beauty in the Qiluo skirt said softly with slightly parted crimson lips.
“Thank you, Senior!”
“Senior truly has the heart of a bodhisattva. Having such an existence in the Eastern Continent is truly a blessing for all living beings!”
Zhen Jian was overjoyed and bowed deeply to the beauty in the Qiluo skirt. When he looked up, however, the place was empty; the beautiful senior had vanished silently and without a trace.
“Hahaha, Li Xiaobai, you old thing, and that dead dog and broken chicken, you’re all dead for sure!”
“With this senior stepping in, your path of cultivation is at its end!”
Zhen Jian was extremely pleased; all the suffering he had endured recently was worth it. To have such a powerful senior speaking personally, the benefits were likely to be substantial. Perhaps he could even use this opportunity to break through the Human Immortal Realm and reach the Earth Immortal cultivation level!
“Right, I still need to confirm that all the cultivators inside the Purple Gold Gourd are dead. If not, I’ll lend them a hand!”
“I suppose the senior wouldn’t mind me going to watch the battle!”
…
At the same time,
in another part of the deep jungle,
slivers of frost Qi spread slowly. A faint red silhouette moved unhurriedly through the jungle, icing over everything in its path—trees, insects, birds, and beasts—turning them into ice sculptures exuding a ghostly coldness.
Most of the jungle had turned into an ice age. Streaks of powerful auras flashed and disappeared. These were cultivators undergoing trials in the trial ground, who, sensing a great crisis, immediately fled far away. They would rather give up the chance to join the Sword Sect than lose their lives here.
“Damn, there’s a crazy woman chasing after us from behind!” Ergouzi yelled out loud.
“Hehehe, judging by her appearance, she must be a powerful member of the Enforcement Team. She must have been called by Zhen Jian. It seems she thinks that by calling the Enforcement Team’s cultivators, she will be able to punish us,”
Li Xiaobai remarked calmly, a playful glint in his eyes. He had long anticipated being hunted down by a strong enemy, and naturally, he had also thought about countermeasures. Otherwise, how could he be so brazen and murderous?
“Heh heh heh, so shall we use ‘that’ move?” the old beggar cackled wickedly, glancing at Ji Wuqing with ill intent on his face.
“Giggle, the plan isn’t bad, it’s just a bit costly for this sovereign!”
Ji Wuqing expressed his reluctance.
“Let’s try it. If we succeed, we’ll be invincible in the Central Origin Realm from now on!”
Li Xiaobai said, put away the Lamborghini, and took out several Lower Grade Immortal Stones for Ji Wuqing to swallow.
“Roar!”
In an instant, hot waves of air rolled, flames shot up to the sky, and the small yellow chicken grew rapidly in the wind. It expanded quickly, its body becoming slim and powerful, and underwent a rebirth as a Rainbow Colored Plume Phoenix. Its phoenix eyes were sharp and spirited, trailing a long string of flames that shook the skies.
It opened its mouth and spat out colorful flames, turning into pillars of fire aimed at the Qiluo skirted woman closing in from behind.
But in the next second, everyone was struck by a tempestuous surge in their hearts. They saw the flames had not even come close to the woman before they were sealed by ice, inch by inch, turning into a thick ice pillar, which fell to the ground and shattered into fragments.
Meanwhile, the woman continued to advance unhurriedly, hands behind her back, holding a flowered umbrella, walking as if in a leisurely garden, her every step quickly closing the distance between her and Li Xiaobai and the others.
“Good heavens, are all the cultivators of the Enforcement Team this fierce?”
