I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1225

Chapter 1225: Chapter 1226: Escape! Chapter 1225: Chapter 1226: Escape! “Song Que's” figure twisted and shifted, with wisp after wisp of black mist erupting and enveloping his form. Despite the obscurity, one could still make out that he was a burly and stout man, unlike any other “Xueshenzi” Li Xiaobai had met before. This “Xueshenzi” was the fourth one he encountered in just a few days.

“Are the members of the Blood Demon Sect so casually interchangeable?”

“In just three days, four Sect Masters have jumped out. Who exactly is the decision-maker?”

Li Xiaobai squinted his eyes and asked coldly, feeling somewhat apprehensive inside. If his hunch was correct, the space around them had been sealed. The only way to escape to heaven was through a single exit.

Moreover, the figure shrouded in black mist before him, as described by the people in the Sword Sect, was a brawny masked fighter who was very likely the same one who kidnapped the baby!

“You are quite extraordinary. Up to now, this sect still cannot determine who you actually are. Plus, over these many years, you are the only one who has detected the hidden figures in our Blood Demon Sect. Even those standing at the absolute peak within the Saint Realm, situated within their respective sects, could never remain unaffected. Your divine soul must be extraordinary.”

“This sect is very curious, where exactly does such a powerful individual like you hail from?”

The brawny man shrouded in black mist spoke unhurriedly; he was confident in his hold over the situation and was in no rush to strike.

Li Xiaobai's face looked extremely unpleasant. Everything should have gone smoothly; he was supposed to get the Money Tree, rescue the baby, and then use the Thousand-Miles Instant Travel Talisman to leave immediately. How did it suddenly turn into a difficulty level of hell?

“I, Bald Qiang, came to the Blood Pool solely for cultivation. I believe my actions have all been quite normal. On the other hand, you, Sect Master, conceal and reveal yourself intermittently, constantly using stand-ins to communicate with the sect disciples, and even using Blinding Techniques to deceive the cultivators within the sect, so they cannot detect the impostor Xueshenzi's existence. You are the one with truly insidious intentions. With such actions, what exactly do you aim to achieve?”

Li Xiaobai spoke coldly.

“I am the Xueshenzi. All that you have seen is myself. My cultivation level has reached the Divine Passage; it is not something ordinary people can sense. I am omnipresent between heaven and earth, but I did not anticipate that recently, some heretics have emerged within the Central Origin Realm!”

“This sect guesses that you have come for that heretic and wish to take the child away. Am I right or not?”

“Xueshenzi” continued to say.

“I don't understand what you're talking about. I am now leaving; do you, Sect Master, intend to kill me?”

Li Xiaobai dropped the remark and unfazedly walked away with Meng Qi towards the outside world.

“The child was indeed kidnapped by this sect. To be precise, by this body of mine that I currently possess.”

“Do you not have any comment on this?”

“Xueshenzi” continued to speak.

“No, do as you please. I don't understand what you're saying.”

Li Xiaobai said indifferently. He already had an idea about the Blood Demon Sect's situation in his mind. There must be some power within the sect capable of ensnaring people's divine souls, and even those in the Saint Realm were not exempt. This is why no one had realized that the historical Sect Masters of the Blood Demon Sect had all been mere puppets, with the real mastermind hidden in the shadows all along.

The Shadow Assassin Dan Dao had already expended his once-daily Fifty-Fifty skill earlier. Now, the skill on the System panel was still in a gray state, not yet recharged. Being in the Underground World, he had no idea of the time outside and couldn't afford to delay any further; he needed to leave as soon as possible.

“Master…”

Meng Qi seemed very nervous. She felt that she and Li Xiaobai had been exposed, and having the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect personally following them was definitely not a good sign.

“Heh heh, if things cannot be clarified today, I fear you won't be able to leave the Blood Pool.”

The masked fighter coldly spoke, an obscure and terrifying aura suddenly erupted, instantly sweeping across the entire arena. Just as he was about to make his next move, the Blood Pool abruptly started trembling, feeling the vibrations beneath his feet, the masked fighter's expression changed dramatically.

“An uprising has occurred below!”

“What's going on, boy, you went to the Underground World, you entered that Blood City!”

The figure within the swirling black fog became wildly enraged, the frightening aura becoming even more dangerous, sending shivers down one's spine.

“Indeed, not only did I enter that city, I also clashed with a Money Tree, and now countless Skeleton Guards are caught in a frenzy of rampage, if you make haste now, perhaps you can suppress them.”

Li Xiaobai said calmly.

“Damn it!”

Upon hearing this, the masked fighter no longer bothered with Li Xiaobai, transforming into a wisp of black smoke and sinking into the depths of the Blood Pool, disappearing from sight.

Seeing this, Li Xiaobai felt a surge of joy in his heart, grabbing Meng Qi and quickly rushing out of the Blood Pool, passing through the corridor to reach the surface above. Unexpectedly, Xueshenzi had let them go at the critical moment, it was uncertain whether this was fortunate or unfortunate.

“Mentor, have we been discovered?”

Meng Qi's eyes flashed with fear, she had never imagined that just three days after joining, their identities would be exposed, and their undercover mission had fallen apart before it even began.

“It seems that Xueshenzi arrived in haste and had not laid out an extensive trap in the outside world, you first leave the sect, return to the Demon Sealing Sect and report, I'll distract them.”

Li Xiaobai said indifferently, quickly affixing a Thousand-Miles Instant Travel Talisman onto her. Before Meng Qi could react, she disappeared without a trace amidst a flash of golden light.

Having Meng Qi around was like a burden, it was of no use to keep her with him, getting her to leave first would allow for free movement.

Brushing his body to dissipate the dust that clung to his skin, he then casually carried the Wolf Fang Club and walked unhurriedly out of the cave. The familiar sect entrance was outside, manned by three groups of patrolling Disciples, who promptly bowed deeply upon seeing Li Xiaobai.

“Great one, we pay our respects!”

“Hmm, I have hit a bottleneck in comprehending the Heart of the Blood Demon, I will return to cultivate after some days. Just now, did you see an elder with a severed arm enter?”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand nonchalantly as he asked.

“Reporting to the great one, we saw him; he is a servant of the Sect Master, and he had an order from the Sect Master himself, allowing him to enter the Blood Pool to accompany you in cultivation. May I ask where this person is right now?”

The leading Disciple said respectfully, then looked around with a hint of confusion.

“That's what I would like to know from you. How come you let any Tom, Dick, or Harry in? That fellow has low cultivation level and lowly status, yet had the nerve to talk back to me in the Blood Pool, and showed no remorse; I have already executed him rightfully, his body lies within, go clean it up yourselves.”

“My Disciple is also inside, you can ask her for the details.”

Li Xiaobai waved his handgrandly, his face a mask of anger as he spoke gravely.

“Ah this…”

The guard Disciples exchanged glances, momentarily at a loss. The Sect Master's servant getting killed by a Saint Realm Elder was a big deal, both sides not ones they could afford to offend.

Li Xiaobai spoke with concealed rage, “Do not provoke my anger, make way immediately, I am now going to confront Xueshenzi!”
