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

Chapter 1061: Chapter 1062: Directly Falling Out
 

“Hmm?”

Buxia was taken aback by the words, but before he could react, a dazzling white light flashed before his eyes, and in an instant, it enveloped him in its radiance and he disappeared without a trace.

“What’s going on!”

“What have you done!”

Uncle Huo, who was nearby, was greatly alarmed and couldn’t help but shout.

How could a perfectly living person just vanish? It seemed as though he was taken away by that bowl-shaped Magic Treasure.

What kind of Magic Treasure was this?

And more importantly, did this youngest brother actually dare to make a move against Buxia?

“It’s nothing, I just thought our eldest brother was a bit noisy, so I asked him to shut up.”

Li Xiaobai chuckled.

“You scoundrel, how dare you!”

“We kindly reassured our father and invited you aboard, not only are you ungrateful, but you also have the gall to commit such outrageous defiance, attacking our elder brother. You really have the ambition of a ruthless wolf!”

Anger flared in Uncle Huo’s eyes. To tell the truth, he did not understand how the other party used that small, broken bowl to take away Buxia. Although it was done when Buxia was caught off guard, the power of that bowl was undeniable; it was a Magic Treasure capable of harming those in the Heavenly Immortal Realm!

“Second Brother, I know the only reason you let me onboard was to conveniently kill me at sea. I simply made the first move. We share the same goal; I never intended to let you reach Ice Dragon Island alive either.”

Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently, blatantly exposing the shame that hid beneath their facade, revealing their motives plainly.

Both his elder brothers wanted to kill him at sea, and he harbored the same intentions, didn’t he? Being on the same ship made it even more convenient to act.

“It seems that during your time away, little brother, you’ve encountered quite the fortune. Now you speak and act so arrogantly, daring to challenge me!”

“Just now, our elder brother caught off guard and that’s why you could take him. But I won’t make such a low-level mistake, and I’m not afraid to tell you, our father had already placed restrictions on us. If we face a life or death crisis, he will manifest a sliver of his Divine Soul to fend off danger. You can’t kill us.”

“If I’m not mistaken, your broken bowl is probably a type of Magic Treasure specialized in suppressing cultivators and it doesn’t have the killing power. Otherwise, a wisp of our father’s Divine Soul would have already materialized.”

Uncle Huo spoke coldly, “But you’re different; you have nothing. Since you’ve chosen to strike first, don’t blame your elder brother for being merciless. In your next life, remember to choose an ordinary family. The internal strife of our sect is not something an amateur like you can handle.”

“Icy Ruler!”

“Wave Devourer!”

“Die!”

Uncle Huo pointed his sword towards Li Xiaobai, and the surrounding seawater began to converge, forming the shape of a ruler in the void, its entire body exuding a ghostly chill and sparkling with specks of cold light.

The ruler, like a battle ax, slashed down at Li Xiaobai. Uncle Huo was well aware of the broken bowl’s potency, but he also knew that activating such a Magic Treasure required time. If he could act first and kill his opponent, there would be no problem.

Then, not only would he kill Li Xiaobai, but he would also obtain that small, broken bowl that suppressed Buxia—an absolute win-win situation!

“Hehe, I’m really lucky. I never expected my visit to Ice Dragon Island would turn out to be the day Uncle Huo makes his fortune. Little brother, I should thank you. You suppress our elder brother, I’ll finish you off, and afterwards, I will be the sole genius of the Icy Frost Sect, with no one left to vie with me for the heir’s position.”

Uncle Huo, confident of his imminent victory, was certain of his superiority. Despite both being in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, his strength and cultivation level were far beyond that of Han Buzhu. The Icy Ruler was one of his unique skills, and killing his third brother would be no trouble.

In his heart, he had already started to fantasize about how to explain the disappearance of both brothers upon reaching Ice Dragon Island, and once on stage, how to make an impression, make connections with more young talents to strengthen himself.

His elder brother had made a number of friends. It was time to take advantage of the situation and win them over to his side.

It was happily decided.

“Second brother, what are you thinking about?”

A slightly puzzled voice came through, interrupting his train of thought and pulling him back to reality.

Li Xiaobai held a bowl in his hand, staring strangely at the other person, allowing that huge ruler to chop down on his shoulder without sustaining any injury.

He had intended to directly subdue the other, but it seemed as though his second brother had suddenly become soul-lost and dazed, which made him somewhat baffled.

“You!”

“You’re not dead?”

Han Dezhu, seeing the scene before him, was so shocked that his hair stood on end and his scalp exploded, and he even comically rubbed his eyes in disbelief. This was no dream—his Icy Ruler actually failed to break the defense of the person before him!

Continuously chopping at that shoulder without even leaving a trace of blood, not even scratching the skin—what kind of strength was this?

When had his third brother’s physique become so powerful?

Was this still the constitution of a human?

“So it was simply a bout of daydreaming. Here I thought you, second brother, had become soul-lost and were signaling for help, conveying a message to the Icy Frost Sect. Turns out you were just too engrossed in your own little world to extricate yourself.”

Li Xiaobai let out a sigh of relief, his eyes full of mockery. Han Dezhu was really too self-important. To think his damage of less than two million Attribute Points could kill him was pure delusion.

“This is impossible. It must be some Magic Treasure you’ve used. My guess is right, you’ve indeed had a fortuitous encounter outside, but soon this fortune will belong to me!”

“Thousand-Mile Frost Palm!”

Han Dezhu roared in anger, striking from midair once again with his palm, unleashing Thousand-Mile Frost. The entire ship was shrouded in a layer of frost, and the surrounding sea water started to freeze. Even the ship, which was built to cut through the waves, came to a forced halt by the might of this palm.

[Attribute Points +2,000,000…]

[Attribute Points +2,000,000…]

The power of this palm was not bad, but unfortunately, Li Xiaobai still gave it no heed. Knowing the other party hadn’t conveyed any message, he showed no concern and grabbed the small, shabby bowl, throwing it directly toward his opponent.

“Quick, get into the bowl!”

Swish!

A familiar white light flashed again, and in the void, Han Dezhu instantly vanished, along with the strong palm wind that swept over the entire ship, all suppressed within the small, shabby bowl.

Just a second ago, the chilling wind was howling, and the Thousand-Mile Frost sea area immediately returned to calm the next.

On the deck, the frost and snow melted, the ship quivered, shaking off the surrounding blocks of ice, and once again set sail.

“This… an internal feud among the young masters!”

“The eldest and second young masters have been subdued by the third young master!”

“How dare he act like this? Once we’re on Ice Dragon Island, who will fight in the arena, who will bring glory to our Icy Frost Sect?”

“This won’t do. We must report this to the Sect Elders and let the Sect Leader decide. This third young master is too lawless!”

A group of followers, witnessing this, panicked and were horrified. In just a few minutes, they were barely on their way and this third young master had already subdued the other two young masters—such audacity.

By the bow, an old goat shook like a sieve, too scared to behold the scene unfolding behind him, focusing solely on steering the ship, muttering to himself, “The old man knows nothing, the old man saw nothing.”

Uncle Huo said, “These are all the confidants of those two. Keeping them will only lead to trouble. How about subduing them all together?”

“Exactly my intention.”

Li Xiaobai nodded, the light from the small bowl in his hand sweeping over: “Quick, get into the bowl!”
