I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1240

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1241: The Four Villains Chapter 1240: Chapter 1241: The Four Villains “Slap!”

Without saying much, a storage bag fell straight from the old beggar's body. Li Xiaobai opened it only to find a full million top-grade Immortal Stones.

“Woof, old man, there's mine too!”

Ergouzi called out discontentedly.

“Slap!”

Another bag of top-grade Immortal Stones dropped to the ground.

“Beautiful!”

Ergouzi split his mouth wide and swallowed the storage bag into his belly, sneakily eyeing Li Xiaobai, afraid that the latter would snatch it away.

“Senior, actually, this junior has a plan. If we are successful and can make a fortune in the Western Continent, I wonder if senior is interested?”

Li Xiaobai looked at Xiao Lao Di with eager eyes.

“First let me out, then we can talk.”

Xiao Lao Di said.

“Naturally, it has been a long time since we saw each other, and I've missed you. I wanted to chat more with Senior.”

Li Xiaobai said cheerfully, his lips never stopped moving, but he didn't make a move.

“Senior vaguely remembers that you have an abnormal talisman that can exchange positions between two entities, just find an object to swap me out.”

Xiao Lao Di said.

“Uh-huh, I am preparing the talisman right now, no hurry, why doesn't Senior listen to my plan first?”

“Senior has been kind to me, and it's always been on my mind. Today, as there's a rare chance to make money, I want to share it with Senior.”

Li Xiaobai said.

“Easy to say, just let me out, and I'll make money with you!”

Xiao Lao Di's forehead and eyebrows twitched, detecting the subtext. This youngster in front of him was not honest. If he did not agree, it seemed he might not get out today.

Li Xiaobai took out an Exchange Charm, sticking it onto Xiao Lao Di's body and onto a nearby stone. The charm shone with golden light, instantly swapping the two. Xiao Lao Di fell to the ground while the massive stone in the corner was embedded within the crystal.

“Damn it, finally out. This fake in the crystal is very strange; definitely alive!”

Xiao Lao Di cursed, his eyes flashing with dread as he looked towards the crystal old man.

“Senior, what exactly happened in this underground world?”

Li Xiaobai asked, puzzled.

“This crystal and that fake are inseparably connected; this guy can freely control the crystal. I was pulled into it just because I was careless for a moment. Though he seems lifeless now, one thing I can assert is that there must still be a Divine Soul inside his body. Even if dead, there will be a lingering soul, capable of using some of its power!”

Xiao Lao Di pointed and gestured toward the crystal old man, his face full of caution.

He was certain that the cultivator sealed in the crystal wasn't completely dead but still retained consciousness, merely self-imprisoned, waiting for the right moment to emerge again.

“Buddhist Sect's Master Wuyan, the monk-killer, will arrive here in less than two hours. We'd better leave as a sign of respect.”

“The external void has been locked down by the Disciples of the Buddhist Sect. Does Senior have any good strategies?”

Li Xiaobai asked.

“A piece of cake!”

Xiao Lao Di slapped Li Xiaobai and Ergouzi, and in an instant, everyone in the hall vanished into thin air. Saint Realm experts can merge into the void and have unparalleled control over space; the restrictions set up by several Semi-Saints outside had no effect.

…
Half an hour later.

The Great Grave, outside the Heavenly Secrets Tower.

A Buddhist monk with an overwhelming Blood Qi was confronting a terrifying gigantic beast.

“This Demonic Beast is merely at the Half-Saint Realm in terms of cultivation level, yet it possesses such a terrifying aura. Have any of you seen this before?”

The monk Master Wuyan asked the monks behind him.

“Replying to great-uncle master, we have never seen such a thing before. Presumably, it is a Demonic Beast from the great tomb, not in contact with the outside world!”

The monks replied, their eyes wide with shock, for them, Godzilla was also a first encounter.

“It seems there is a new change within the great tomb. My fellow brother's decision was indeed correct, sealing the tomb was the right choice!”

Master Wuyan nodded slightly, his Zen Staff transforming into a bolt of golden lightning, effortlessly piercing through the body of Godzilla.

“Roar!”

Half-Saint Godzilla let out an enraged roar, its pupils dilating, life fading, it collapsed to the ground.

“Take its corpse back for research.”

Master Wuyan was speaking when he suddenly saw the huge silhouette, like a small mountain, dissipate into wisps of blue smoke and vanish into thin air.

What kind of Demonic Beast is this?

What kind of body structure is this?

Does it still disappear after death?

“Amitabha, great-uncle master, look quickly, there's a flame!”

A monk suddenly shouted. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a small clump of black flames burning beneath Heavenly Secrets Tower. The flames were black as ink and did not exude the terrifying high temperature; what was felt instead was an endless weirdness.

“This flame is extraordinary!”

“This poor monk has heard that back in the great tomb, members of the Blood Demon Sect encountered such flames, wanting to subdue them only to suffer a loss instead. It is unexpected that this poor monk should encounter them today. This flame is very wicked, we should bring it back to Great Thunderclap Temple for proper research!”

A glint flashed in Master Wuyan's eyes as he extended his hand to condense a cage with the power of Immortal Yuan to capture the clump of black flames, allowing it to burn slowly.

“As for Heavenly Secrets Tower, we should not rashly enter. I will discuss with the Sect Leader and then make a decision!”

“You all must guard this place carefully, and do not allow anyone to approach!”

Master Wuyan instructed.

He had already heard from the mouths of survivors about the horrors of Heavenly Secrets Tower. This tower could easily slay a Semi-Saint and among the hanging corpses, there were even those of Saint Realm powerhouses. It could not be overcome with brute force; the most prudent way was to find another Chess Master to break through the challenges layer by layer and make one's way inside.

“Amitabha! We shall follow great-uncle master's orders!”

At the same time.

Western Continent.

At the border of Buddha Country, Xiao Lao Di, along with Li Xiaobai and others, appeared here. The route through the void was exceptionally precise, landing squarely at the boundary between the outskirts of the Western Continent and the inner borders of Buddha Country. Taking just two more steps forward would take them into it.

Ji Wuqing in the pocket woke up, very dissatisfied with Li Xiaobai for tricking it, but indeed it was itself who had chosen to go and play chess, so it could not blame others and could only swallow the bitterness in silence.

“Just a bit further and we're in Buddha Country. I heard you visited last time and even got wanted?”

Xiao Lao Di, without any instruction, took out a cigarette, lit it, and asked casually.

“Yes, the power of faith here is several times more concentrated than in the outside world. If it weren't for the protection of the cigarettes, one would be converted in an instant upon entering.”

Li Xiaobai nodded.

“Woof, kid, there are many dangers and uncertainties inside, now that it's safe, tell us how we are going to make a fortune?”

Ergouzi cocked its head and asked.

“Indeed, if your Sin Value of over a hundred million manifests in front of others, let alone opening a shop, we would immediately become rats on the street that everyone shouts to beat.”

Ji Wuqing also said, the Sin Value cannot be concealed. It was impossible not to take action in the perilous Buddha Country; how would Li Xiaobai avoid this?

“I have my own plans, this Sin Value of over a hundred million on my body not only won't make us become rats on the street everyone shouts to beat, but it will instead become the trump card that allows us to stand firm!”

Li Xiaobai said leisurely.

“Just follow me, and I guarantee you'll make a fortune!”
