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

Chapter 740: 741
 

“How did you know?”

Yang Chen asked with some surprise, his eyes wide open, but he immediately realized that now was not the time to be concerned about these matters and defiantly stated, “None of that matters anymore, kill or slash as you please, in thirty years, I will still be a hero!”

“Indeed, when our junior brother has completed his training and returns, it will be the end for you and your dynasty!”

Ling Feng also spoke with an indifferent expression, realizing that falling into the hands of the Prince of the Yan Dynasty meant their fate was sealed, what could they do now even if their secrets were known?

“Is that really so!”

“All of you are fellow sect brothers, it’s a strange coincidence that such a thing could happen in this world, it is truly a blessing for our Great Flame Dynasty!”

“From today on, you shall follow this Prince, I will take you back to the Great Flame Dynasty, and recommend a master to guide your cultivation!”

King Weiwu’s eyes sparkled with fervent light as he looked at them as if admiring a rare treasure.

“What do you mean?”

Now it was Su Yunbing and the others who were confused, why had the man suddenly changed his nature and instead wanted to teach them cultivation?

This unfounded act of kindness was even more terrifying, he definitely had an ulterior motive!

“Ol’Fatty doesn’t sell his dignity, even if you possess Ol’Fatty’s body, you will never conquer Ol’Fatty’s soul!”

“That’s right, all of us brothers are unbending in our pride!”

Liu Jinshui adopted a wary stance, and Yang Chen nodded heavily in agreement.

“Hmph, after all, you’re nothing but country bumpkins, your insight is too shallow, you have no idea what sort of tiny place the Earth Spirit Realm really is.”

“You only need to know that this Prince admires your potential, and hence, I am giving you a chance to reach higher levels, and soon you will understand just how great a fortune this really is!”

King Weiwu regained his indifferent demeanor, bound the group, and tossed them temporarily with Long Xue.

He was very excited; he had thought it was just a routine visit to intimidate the Barbaric Lands, but he did not expect to encounter so many talents. These cultivators, even if put in the Upper Realm, were among those with extraordinary potential, coveted by every major sect.

He couldn’t believe he had managed to capture seven in one swoop, and if he could also bring Li Xiaobai under his command, his Great Flame Dynasty would have a full complement of eight geniuses. If he played his cards right, perhaps in a few decades, his dynasty could rise and contend with the Sword Sect.

Even if these geniuses couldn’t be accommodated, selling them to other prestigious sects would certainly fetch an astronomical sum.

Either way, the Yan Dynasty struck it rich this time, and his contribution as King Weiwu was indispensable. Perhaps he could use this opportunity to surpass the other princes and become equal to those in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

“It’s a good thing no one has discovered anything. I must send these people back to the Great Flame Dynasty without delay, to avoid any complications. As long as the Grand Emperor can identify the authenticity, I will surely rise rapidly in rank and attain great heights!”

King Weiwu’s eyes flickered, he gestured, and while carrying the captives, he quickly entered the fissure in the sky above and disappeared from sight.

…

At the same time, elsewhere.

Li Xiaobai was fleeing at breakneck speed, feeding the last of his Lower Grade Immortal Stones into the fuel tank of the Lamborghini. The sports car, purchased with Spirit Stones, was still not capable of reaching the speed of the Immortal Realm, but after the power from the Lower Grade Immortal Stones was injected, its speed increased noticeably. However, the vehicle began to tremble under the strain, as if it was on the verge of falling apart at any moment.

Squeaking sounds continued.

He knew the car was nearing its end, but as long as he could evade the clutches of those from the Upper Realm, even its destruction would be worth it.

“Damn it, not only did they kidnap my wife but also my fellow brothers and sisters!”

“However, it seems I don’t need to worry too much about their lives right now, my wife carries the Dragon Race bloodline. According to what King Weiwu suggested, they plan to sell her to Ice Dragon Island. My brothers and sisters all have big secrets hidden within them; King Weiwu must have stopped his attack after discovering this.”

“Great Flame Dynasty, I’ll remember you. As long as I, Li Xiaobai, don’t die today, I will certainly turn your Upper Realm Dynasty upside down!”

Li Xiaobai ground his teeth in anger and turned into a streak of light, rapidly fleeing away. Old Scavenger and the others were squatting at the border to meet him.

“Kid, come over here!”

“Once we enter the Upper Realm, we’ll be free!”

Old Scavenger’s face was filled with an urgent expression; he could already feel the rumbling powerful aura in the sky.

Even though Prince Guanjunhou’s cultivation level wasn’t as high as King Weiwu’s, he was still an Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse, not someone they could contend with at the moment. If they were caught, they truly had only one path left—death.

“Woof, kid, speed up, you’re about to get slaughtered!”

“I’m coming!”

“Go, hide the sacrificial altar once we’re inside!”

Li Xiaobai roared and fiercely turned the steering wheel; his speed increased instead of decreasing. He drifted into the spatial tunnel in the blink of an eye, with the rest of the group immediately following suit, darting in without any hesitation.

The passage inside was dark and profound, with no end in sight. Li Xiaobai turned on the headlights in front of the car, and the view instantly became clear.

Before their eyes was a sea of nothingness, dark and profound, with currents of Void Turbulence swirling around, emitting a strange and silent atmosphere. From time to time, an outrageously large carcass floated by, giving people the chills.

At this moment, the group was speeding wildly through such a quiet and soundless void.

The path they were driving on was enveloped by an invisible force, keeping all the Void Turbulence completely at bay, most likely the power of the sacrificial altar.

“This space tunnel is scarier with the lights on than without them!”

Ergouzi was startled by a creepy gray substance that appeared beside him; it was a little cluster of Void Turbulence flowing close to the passage, mere centimeters away. Even though he knew the power of the sacrificial altar protected them, it still gave him goosebumps.

“Giggle, kid, let the supreme one get on the ride!”

Ji Wuqing was also looking at it, feeling chills, and even his short legs seemed somewhat unsteady.

Li Xiaobai was silently calculating the time in his heart; at the cost of the wrecked sports car, his current speed was almost close to the realm of a Human Immortal.

After more than ten seconds, he saw a flicker of light ahead, and his heart surged with joy. He turned into a streak of light and rushed out of the spatial channel, with Old Scavenger trailing right behind him, carrying Ergouzi. Liuren grabbed Ji Wuqing and Kraken, and they bolted out at the same time.

“Bang!”

As soon as the sports car landed, it exploded with a tremendous noise, and the powerful force of Immortal Yuan sent it to the end of its life as it burst open.

[Attribute Points +100,000.]

“Cough, cough!”

Within the dust, Li Xiaobai climbed up covered in dirt.

“Quick, gather all the Immortal Stones on that sacrificial altar!”
