I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1227

Chapter 1227: Chapter 1228: Let Your Peers Play with You Chapter 1227: Chapter 1228: Let Your Peers Play with You Li Xiaobai stood with his hands behind his back, a fierce gleam in his eyes as he stared intently at the person in front of him.

I was only one step away from slipping away, but at the critical moment, this old man actually shows up to mess things up, which is a bit uncomfortable.

“Pah!”

“Who the hell are you, and why are you impersonating me!”

“What exactly are you plotting by sneaking around within the sect!”

The Blood Fiend Elder was furious, with Immortal Yuan Power surging around him, exuding a violent aura that suggested he could attack at any moment.

“Absurd creature, I've been in the sect for no less than a hundred years; even if appearances can be deceived, can this breath of mine be faked too?”

“Why are you still standing there dumbfounded? Not only is there a Bald Qiang in our sect, but someone is blatantly impersonating me with unscrupulous intentions. Report this situation to all the major peaks immediately!”

Li Xiaobai, still with his hands behind his back, shouted angrily at the disciples who were standing around dazed.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The disciples scattered and fled, as the situation here was beyond their ability to intervene or probe. The standoff between two Blood Fiend Elders, exchanging blows, was an unprecedented scene.

“Impersonating me to leave the sect?”

“You won't be able to escape. Once the Sect Master arrives, you'll find it impossible to fly away even if you had wings!”

The Blood Fiend Elder spoke with a chilling tone, fortunate that he had arrived in time. If he hadn't shown up when he did, he might have been the one to bear the blame for today's mess.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Just as he was delayed for that moment, dozens of lights of escape descended from the void, led by the Masked Fighter, followed by a group of Sect Elders.

A layer of blood-red mist shrouded the sect, and under its influence, the control over cultivators' Divine Souls had grown stronger than before. No one in the sect besides Li Xiaobai noticed that Xueshenzi had switched to another empty shell.

Li Xiaobai guessed that the other party, like Yan Zuzi, must have some method of controlling puppet bodies to move about in the world and also be able to influence Divine Souls with Secret Techniques so that no one would notice anything amiss.

Fortunately, he had the System that automatically shielded against all spiritual attacks, enabling him to see the crux of the matter.

“What's going on, why are there two Blood Fiend Elders?”

Several Saint Realm experts descended, and as they took in the situation at the entrance of the sect, their pupils contracted, and their faces showed shock. Two identical Blood Fiends, with indistinguishable auras and appearances. Even they could not tell which was real or fake.

“Damn it, you guys finally came. This guy just pretended to be me, trying to deceive the guarding disciples and make a getaway!”

“Do you think this man could be Bald Qiang's accomplice?”

Li Xiaobai struck preemptively, pointing at the Blood Fiend Elder and exclaiming angrily.

“Shut your damn mouth, it's clearly you who are impersonating me, how dare you accuse the thief of being the catch, utterly ridiculous!”

“Sect Master, take down this thief quickly. This guy must be Bald Qiang in disguise. I kept wondering why I couldn't find any information on Bald Qiang. Turns out he's changed his appearance. He wants to escape the sect while impersonating me today, which is simply delusional!”

“You are Bald Qiang!”

The Blood Fiend Elder cursed out loud, feeling wronged in his heart. He hadn't done anything, yet one trouble after another seemed to find him, and this imposter was despicable. With so many Elders in the sect, why did he pick him to impersonate? Can't he impersonate someone else?

“Utter nonsense, boy, you do have a way with words, but to try to deceive in front of the Sect Master himself, you're still too inexperienced!”

“You're not getting away today!”

Li Xiaobai's expression was cold and dark, his eyes flickering with a fierce light.

The Elders of various major law branches spontaneously became the onlooking crowd, full of dumbfounded expressions. Even with their vision and cultivation levels, they couldn't distinguish who the real or fake person was in front of them, but without a doubt, that bald man must be hiding between these two.

“There's no need for further words. That Bald Qiang stole the most important treasure from the Blood Pool, causing unrest within it. After the Sect Master discovered it, he immediately fled.”

“Just as this happened, you two caused this mess. The Sect Master has determined that the bald man is among you!”

The Masked Fighter, “Xueshenzi,” said indifferently. The overwhelming blood flames that once enveloped him were now retracted, and knowing that Li Xiaobai was within arm's reach, he was in no hurry.

“The Sect Master gives you a chance; step forward yourself, explain everything you know honestly, and the Sect Master will not kill you.”

“Xueshenzi” said lightly.

“Sect Master, why bother being so polite? Since we are sure that the thief is hiding among these two, why not capture both, and after verifying the true from the false, invite the real Blood Fiend Elder out?” said the nearby Hehuan Sect Elder, the fox mask on his face looking fierce and terrifying, with a wild glint as if choosing someone to devour.

Upon hearing this, the Blood Demon became somewhat restless, looking at the other party with furious eyes: “You little wretch, you are just taking a personal grudge, trying to kick a man while he is down and harm me!”

Li Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly: “He's anxious, he's anxious. Look, everyone, this fellow's panic is revealing his true colors. I've been in the Blood Demon Sect for years; how could the sect's powerhouses not recognize me? Though I don't know what tricks you've employed, if you are subjected to torture at our sect, your true form will undoubtedly be exposed!”

“I'll kill you…”

The Blood Fiend Elder felt as if his lungs were about to explode. Nowadays, he even had to prove who he was. After living for so many years, this day has really broadened his horizons.

The power of Immortal Yuan in his Dantian turned violent, breaking out of his body, and the vast Blood Qi condensed in the void into a Blood Demon's Giant Palm Seal, pressing down towards Li Xiaobai's location.

Some things can be faked, but strength and cultivation level are genuine. The Blood Demon's Saint Realm cultivation level, having ignited two Divine Fires and possessing a profound understanding of the Blood Demon Sect Technique, was not something that could be imitated easily.

Seeing the other party so agitated that he took action directly, Li Xiaobai's complexion changed slightly, and a golden chariot appeared under his feet. It transformed into a streak of light, sweeping towards the cliff top. As long as he left this mountain gate, he would have a way to escape to safety.

“Damn it!”

“It's this brat who's impersonated me, kill him!”

The Blood Demon became even more furious upon seeing this, his Blood Qi sweeping across the sky and reaching the heavens.

“He won't escape!”

“Xueshenzi” said coldly, making a hand seal and roaring, “Yellow Springs Verdant Fall Divine Skill!”

Above the firmament, dark clouds gathered, thick black smoke twisted, and thunder roared mightily. At this moment, the countless wronged souls and ferocious ghosts within the sect seemed to have been roused from their slumber, with large tombs rising from the ground. The wails and howls were piercing and terrifying.

The entire sect turned into the Rakshasa Ghost Country in an instant, with ghostly soldiers rampaging and an eerie atmosphere as if it were The Netherworld itself.

Li Xiaobai felt that, at this moment, although his golden chariot was moving forward, his body was involuntarily retreating, being dragged in the opposite direction. It was a strange and terrifying feeling; he was clearly moving forward, but his body was being pulled backward.

Looking back, he was shocked to see that countless Ghost Infants had climbed onto the rear of the golden chariot. They were using their hands and feet to pull the chariot backward desperately, as if dragging a beloved toy.

“Brother, come play with us!”

A ghastly and terrifying voice entered Li Xiaobai's ears, giving him goosebumps.

“Yellow Springs Verdant Fall Divine Skill, it seems to be a kind of domain. I didn't expect Xueshenzi to be more terrifying than the Xueyuan on Ice Dragon Island. If I can't break this situation, I'm afraid today might be the day I stay here.”

A hint of fear flashed in Li Xiaobai's eyes as he twisted his wrist and pulled out Beichen Feng's scroll.

“Kid, we have a generation gap. Let your peers accompany you instead!”
