I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1224

Chapter 1224: Chapter 1225: Encounter with the Imitation Again Chapter 1224: Chapter 1225: Encounter with the Imitation Again “I fucking…”

Li Xiaobai felt his mental state was becoming unstable. Just hearing the name “Decay God Possession” suggests it's nothing good, and do I even need the System to tell me that it's a negative state?

Moreover, the description is almost non-existent – duration unknown, effects unknown. What the hell is this state? I haven't even escaped the Blood Demon Sect, and at this critical juncture, to have such a negative state added, I am feeling a bit uneasy.

“Master is awesome, one move to instantly kill that insect egg. Just look at it, it's obviously the essence condensed from gathered filth. By doing this, Master has eliminated a scourge for the people!”

Fu Tiantian gave a big thumbs up. This blood-colored insect egg, growing inside the Flesh Mountain, was clearly an object of extreme evil.

Li Xiaobai ignored her words and was pondering the prompt from the System. By stepping on this egg, he was now marked by the Blood Sun Heavenly Egg Clan. Could it be that these insect eggs were actually a tribe?

“Got the baby, let's get out of here first!”

Without any hesitation, Li Xiaobai stuffed the Money Tree and Fu Tiantian all into the small wooden box. Then, the golden war chariot materialized under his feet, turning into a streak of light that rapidly fled the scene.

The jumping numbers of System Attribute Points on the system panel stopped the moment the Blood Sun Heavenly Egg negative status was acquired. Without a doubt, Half-Saint Godzilla had been taken out, and he now strongly suspected that it was due to this negative status that Godzilla's resilience had been dramatically reduced.

However, the System Attribute Points had reached as many as 8.3 billion. With another 1.7 billion, he could make it to 10 billion and successfully upgrade his defensive power to that of a Semi-Saint. By then, he would be able to leave the level of a Disciple and reach the level of a Sect Elder.

Back under the cave entrance, Li Xiaobai was only holding a Smooth Travel Talisman in his hand. He didn't plan to have a direct confrontation with the Golden Skeletons. First, he would teleport into the great hall, and then teleport out again.

Thinking of this, the talisman in his hand emitted a scorching light. Activated in an instant, Li Xiaobai's figure disappeared without a trace.

On the ground inside the great hall, a flash of golden light – Li Xiaobai appeared in the corner and couldn't help but feel goosebumps when he saw the sight before him. The entire hall was filled with Golden Skeleton Guards, all clad in golden helmets, golden armor, and holding golden spears. And amongst them, one could faintly see orange guards mixed in, their aura terrifying, circling the hole beneath the Money Tree, but not daring to enter.

There must have been several hundred of them at least. Even a god would have a hard time rescuing him if he were surrounded.

“Roar!”

Seeing the scene before them, hundreds of Golden Skeletons all roared in unison, their figures swiftly charging forward.

Li Xiaobai activated the golden talisman in his hand once more, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace, leaving a crowd of Skeleton Guards staring dumbfounded, raging in place.

These Skeleton Guards had no thoughts, no life, only the instinct to protect the Money Tree. Their creator probably never imagined that someone would not play by the rules and break into the heart of the challenge in such an unconventional way.

Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine. The Money Tree had already been taken away, and the remaining Skeleton Guards scurried around like they had lost their backbone, a complete mess.

What they didn't know was that at this very moment, deep beneath the Flesh Mountain assembly area, a pitch-black flame as dark as ink was burning fiercely, spreading and sweeping in all directions.

Elsewhere.

Li Xiaobai used the Smooth Travel Talisman multiple times and successfully escaped from the underground fortress, surfacing in the Blood Pool. As soon as he surfaced, he saw a familiar face.

An Elder with a severed arm was staring at the surface of the water, eyebrows deeply furrowed, as if pondering something. Meng Qi was sitting obediently by his side, cultivating in meditation, and everything seemed very peaceful.

However, the moment the Elder saw Li Xiaobai burst out, he froze for a second before angrily saying, “You little rascal, you actually dared to deceive your grandfather!”

“Lucky for me, I'm quick-witted. I managed to bamboozle those idiotic fools with a few words, or else I might have ended up in prison!”

Song Que stared at Li Xiaobai with a face full of anger.

“By the way, where did you go just now? Did you go down there?”

“I've heard that there's a whole world beneath the Blood Pool.”

Song Que was relentless, continuing to talk, trying to pry words out of Li Xiaobai.

Li Xiaobai sneered inwardly. This imposter actually followed him here. Such an explanation could only mean that the other party was feeling guilty, afraid that their true identity would be suspected.

Moreover, it was he, the newly ascended Sect Elder of the Saint Realm, who ordered the capture of this imposter. His disciples would never dare to defy his command, yet here the fellow sits, unharmed. This can only mean one thing–he has used some trick to successfully escape.

Could this be an effect of being possessed by the Decay God, or is it merely a coincidence?

“Who do you think you are to speak to me like that?”

“How long have you been here?”

Li Xiaobai asked coldly with an indifferent expression.

“I just arrived two hours ago.”

“Song Que” replied.

“Good, Meng Qi, take this old man down!”

“Sneaking around, skulking in shadows, not only have you been tracking me, but you have also repeatedly spoken out of turn and remained incorrigible. Kill him!”

Li Xiaobai pointed at “Song Que” and said in a deep voice.

At his words, both Meng Qi and the elderly man were startled.

“You can't do this to me, young man!”

“What an idiot you are. I've wanted to kill you ever since we were in the lair of the Blood Demon lineage, but that was within the sect, under supervision, and I didn't want to cause any trouble. I didn't expect that you'd run out on your own and appear before me–now you've brought this upon yourself!”

“Take him!”

Li Xiaobai ordered sharply.

“Yes!”

Meng Qi immediately drew her sword, conjuring a streak of blood light that sliced toward the one-armed elder.

“Crack!”

The sword broke upon impact. Meng Qi's pupils contracted as she quickly moved next to Li Xiaobai, her face full of wariness. On the other hand, “Song Que” was unscathed, holding half of the broken sword between his fingers.

“Aren't you supposed to be a servant with mediocre cultivation skills?”

“How do you possess such ability, who sent you?”

Li Xiaobai's eyes were cold as he looked intently at the person in front of him and questioned word by word.

“What… what are you talking about?”

“Why did you suddenly attack?”

Panic flashed in the imposter's eyes as he clutched his neck, seemingly trying to come up with some sort of defense.

“It must've been Xueshenzi who sent you, wanting to confirm my true identity. He's suspicious of me, but now your cover's been blown, and none of the tasks he gave you have been completed. Even if I let you go back, you would only meet your demise!”

“The Blood Demon Sect has no need for the useless. However, if you tell the truth, I might consider sparing your life!”

Li Xiaobai narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.

Now he had the upper hand, and it was all about who could dominate with their aura. The old man in front of him was certainly at least a Semi-Saint, or perhaps even a Saint Realm powerhouse. Unable to outmatch him in strength, intimidation was the key.

“Your understanding of the Blood Demon Sect's rules is indeed thorough, yet you are mistaken about one thing–I am not sent by Xueshenzi; I am Xueshenzi himself!”

“You spoke well. The Blood Demon Sect does not shelter the useless. Just now you entered the world beneath the Blood Pool and stirred up trouble, which is not something a newcomer should do. State your purpose, and if you cannot prove your identity, the only choice I have is to behead you and present your head to the public!”
