I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 795: Chapter 796: With Operation
 

Wu Chengjue extended a jade finger and hooked it through the air, gathering all the scattered Spirit Stones from the ground into her bag. Then, with a twirl of her extravagant skirt, her shadow disappeared without a trace, leaving the trial site turned into an icy age, emanating the breath of frost.

Two hours later.

Suddenly, the air became scorching hot, waves of fiery warmth burst through, bringing a hint of warmth to the icy landscape.

The frozen little yellow chicken suddenly opened its eyes, blinking a few times, and confirmed there was no one around before it twisted its body and broke out of the ice.

Afterward, it opened its mouth and spat out Li Xiaobai and the others onto the ground.

“Hahaha, invincible, after all, no one in this world can harm me in the slightest!”

Ji Wuqing howled to the sky. Even though it had been killed once, its mood was very upbeat, especially since even a strong cultivator like Wu Chengjue couldn’t harm it, which greatly boosted its confidence.

From now on, it no longer had to worry about being pursued due to its Sin Value!

“We survived!”

“We did it, with Xiao Ji around, we are undying!”

A smile also appeared on Li Xiaobai’s face, his guess was correct. By using the little yellow chicken’s trait of infinite resurrection, he could protect any cultivator from external harm.

Just now, he had the little yellow chicken swallow the Purple Gold Gourd beforehand, and then used the gourd to suck everyone into it. To outsiders, it seemed they had all been swallowed by Ji Wuqing, but in reality, they were inside the Purple Gold Gourd, isolated from the outside world.

Even if Ji Wuqing were frozen to death, it wouldn’t affect them.

Then, he just needed to watch for the moment of Ji Wuqing’s death notification on the System panel, and he could throw out the Immortal Stones he had prepared in advance, creating the illusion of death.

As much as this method was costly, making him lose almost half of his possessions, it was a genuine way to avoid the pursuit of the Enforcement Team. For a long time to come, they would be free and safe!

“Hehehe, now we can confidently stir up trouble without worries. Didn’t expect you, chick, to be somewhat useful.”

Ergouzi laughed with a wide grin.

“Damn, that crazy woman was terrifying, actually a Heavenly Immortal Realm master, and from the looks of it, she might be even stronger than the old coot of the Great Flame Dynasty. The Enforcement Team is truly as terrifying as they come!”

Old Bangzi looked scared out of his wits and patted his chest while he looked around.

“Indeed, with just a simple gesture, she froze the entire Secret Realm, such power is truly terrifying. We’d better avoid her sharp edge for the time being.”

Li Xiaobai nodded in agreement, feeling a bit intimidated at the sight of the frozen world around him. That woman was too frightening.

“But just now, that woman seemed to recognize elder, even calling elder ‘Xiao Lao Di’?”

“I don’t know, and I didn’t dare to ask!”

Old Bangzi scratched his head, equally puzzled: “I’m already this old, and she still calls me ‘little brother’, could that woman be an Elder Tong?”

“That woman mistook you for that bigshot called Xiao Lao Di. To be able to guide cultivators to a breakthrough in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, she must be at least of a Half-Holy Level, right?”

Ji Wuqing spoke up, having faced the adversary directly and feeling the strongest impression of her. When she saw Old Bangzi, that woman clearly showed a rare flicker of emotion.

To have such a powerful entity mistake someone, they must be very similar indeed.

Li Xiaobai nodded. That expert was probably of the same level as the Six-Eared Macaque Ancestor. Maybe they would even have some interactions in the future.

“Woof, Old Bangzi, could it be you’re actually a bigshot pretending to be weak?”

Ergouzi jumped three feet high, looking at Old Bangzi with doubtful and astonished eyes.

“This guy thinks he’s a big shot? I’m the real deal, the invincible being in this world!”

Ji Wuqing scoffed disdainfully, feeling quite inflated with pride at the moment.

“Regardless, the man known as Xiao Lao Di must bear an uncanny resemblance to the old beggar. As we wander the rivers and lakes in the future, we might be able to make friends with everyone under heaven by using his name.”

The old beggar stroked his beard and dirt-filled face, feeling somewhat narcissistic, as he had not expected there to be another with such a handsome face in the Central Origin Realm.

“Indeed, with such a handsome face, it would be a waste not to go out and make friends.”

Li Xiaobai could relate, possessing the face of a boss himself; not to mingle with the heroes of the world would be doing himself an injustice.

Ah, he simply wanted to make friends, definitely not to trade in human lives or to swindle and kill cultivators.

Such unscrupulous acts were beneath someone with his dignity.

“Now that the entire trial ground has been sealed in ice by that woman, with her strength and cultivation level, she probably wouldn’t bother collecting the corpses of Demonic Beasts to amass wealth, right?”

“So that means…”

“We’re going to strike it rich?”

“We’ve struck it rich!”

“This stuff is worth way more than five hundred thousand Lower Grade Immortal Stones!”

The group’s thoughts snapped back to reality, looking at the icy expanse before them, their breathing slightly quickened.

You see, the number of Human Immortal Realm Demonic Beasts within this trial ground was countless, and there were even more Earth Immortal Realm beasts, numbering in the dozens, not to mention a group of Earth Immortal Realm cultivators who had come for the high-difficulty trials of the Sword Sect.

Now, on this expanse of frozen plain, there were only four living creatures, and all the dangers had been swept away by Wu Chengjue. It could be said that everything of value in this trial ground now belonged to them!

How could they not get excited?

In comparison, the five hundred thousand Lower Grade Immortal Stones they had just thrown away were nothing.

“Let’s go, time to scavenge for treasures!”

Li Xiaobai pulled open the car door, stepped on the gas, and in an instant, he became a series of blue phantoms and disappeared from the spot, rushing deep into the jungle.

Along the way, they encountered numerous Demonic Beasts sealed in ice. Some died in their sleep, while others lost their lives in terror, each with a different pose, sculpted into ice statues.

Without a word, the group hammered away, shattering the ice statues to pieces and then selectively picked through the debris for useful Demonic Beast materials, skipping the steps of skinning and boning, highly efficient in their practice.

They darted through the jungle, occasionally stumbling upon human race cultivators surrounded by scattered Immortal Stones and Magic Treasures—these were the personal hoards of Earth Immortal realm powerhouses, now all serving to Li Xiaobai’s benefit.

He even spotted Zhen Jian’s figure, the woman unable to escape the fate of being sealed in ice amidst the frozen world, eliciting an involuntary sigh of lamentation.

The wrongdoers eventually face retribution: the Enforcement Team expert she had painstakingly flattered and informed did not consider her life at all.

Several days later.

Li Xiaobai thoroughly scavenged the entire trial ground, smashing countless Demonic Beast carcasses and collecting materials until his hands grew tired.

The stocks of Earth Immortal realm powerhouses amounted to more than a dozen, and the accumulation of Lower Grade Immortal Stones had already reached over three million, with over one million Medium Grade Immortal Stones in stock. It goes without saying, this was truly a way to get rich!

At that moment, he even wished that woman would come again to kill them one more time.

“The Enforcement Team, Wu Chengjue, what a good person indeed!”
