The faces of the cultivators were quite unsightly.

“You, riding on a Divine Beast mount, of course you’re not tired at all. We have to run our cultivation techniques on our two little feet, madly sprinting. How can that even compare?”

“My lord, it is our lack of skill that has embarrassed you.”

The Captain didn’t want to get entangled in such trivial matters; they had already arrived at the place and would soon be able to kill Li Xiaobai.

There was no need to get angry with a dead man.

“Hmm, good that you know.”

Li Xiaobai casually said, his eyes surveying the surrounding environment.

This was a valley; he could see many huge Flesh Mountains around. It seemed that they had sensed the presence of living beings and were slowly moving in their direction.

The numbers on the System panel kept jumping; the borderlands had this advantage. Although the Attribute Points provided were few each time, they supplied a steady flow without having to worry about running out of stock.

“My lord, there are quite a few Flesh Mountains nearby, most of them with the strength of Spirit Realm Cultivators, and a few that could affect those in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. For you, my lord, they’re not worth mentioning.”

The Captain continued.

“Hmm, indeed, not even a single one in the Mahayana Realm, just mere Tribulation Crossers. I don’t want to make a move; you all go and clean them up.”

Li Xiaobai nodded and spoke indifferently, as if it was only natural.

The Captain was choked up; damn it, this was just too shameless. He was just flattering Li Xiaobai, trying to coax him into fighting the monsters, but this guy actually took it seriously and picked up the conversation.

Where was your pride as a heaven’s chosen one?

Aren’t Chosen Ones supposed to prove their strength all the time? What kind of move is sending others to fight monsters for you?

This skill of exploiting the situation was unparalleled.

“Um, my lord, our strength is insufficient; we can only clear out the Spirit Realm’s minor monsters. Those in the Tribulation Crossing Stage will require your personal intervention to deal with.”

The Captain said with a pained expression.

“What a bunch of trash. You can’t even handle this little thing, and you dare to serve as Lord Cai’s elite guards?”

“Having such an incompetent guard, really, is a disgrace to our borderlands. Step aside and see how I handle it.”

Li Xiaobai said dismissively.

“Hehe, a bunch of trash, watch and learn how the truly mighty operate!”

Ji Wuqing also jumped out excitedly.

The faces of the cultivators turned an ashen color as they moved aside, reminding themselves that this arrogant fellow was about to die soon, and there was no need to be upset with a dead man.

The Captain felt like he was having difficulty breathing. If it weren’t for Cai Kunxu’s reminder that they couldn’t lay hands on Li Xiaobai directly, he would have killed him already.

Just a junior Heavenly Pride, at best a Tribulation Crosser; how strong could he be?

In front of his elite squad, there was only one fate: to be utterly annihilated!

But on the surface, he had to keep a smiling face, “Lord invincible, please go ahead, lord!”

Li Xiaobai slowly stepped forward, walking towards the gathering area of the Flesh Mountains.

Flesh Mountains lacked consciousness and the ability to move swiftly; the only thing deadly about them was the red mist they emitted, which could induce endless madness in cultivators, leading to death.

The Flesh Mountains here were far stronger than the ones on the outskirts, as evident from the continuously jumping Attribute Points on the System.

Yet, in the face of his defensive power, they were virtually non-existent.

“Big shot, there shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Yang Huan quietly tugged at Li Xiaobai’s sleeve and asked.

She felt an immense sense of oppression from the Flesh Mountain here. If it weren’t for the unfinished Huazi in her hand, she surely would have fallen into deep madness.

“No problem.”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand and handed her another Huazi. Yang Huan’s cultivation level was too weak; facing such a high-level Flesh Mountain, she simply couldn’t hold on and had to rely on the Huazi to endure.

The cultivators behind were all staring with wide eyes.

What was that thing in the woman’s mouth that allowed a mere cultivator who hadn’t even reached the Nascent Soul Stage to withstand the assault of such a Flesh Mountain?

They knew that even cultivators at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage could easily fall prey to the Flesh Mountain’s influence if they weren’t careful. Yet, this small item seemed able to eliminate its negative effects on the mind.

If they could get their hands on such a thing, their survival rate on the battlefield would greatly increase!

The cultivators exchanged glances, all seeing the feverish desire in each other’s eyes. Such a life-saving Divine Artifact was a must-have!

The Captain’s eyes were cold and sharp as he watched Li Xiaobai in front. Geniuses deserved their reputation, carrying so many treasures with them.

Whether it was the Lamborghini from before or the Huazi now, they were beyond someone of his level’s reach; but soon, they would all belong to him.

Li Xiaobai had taken Cai Kunxu’s Binding Pill, so he couldn’t stir up his Spiritual Power within him, making him no match for the Flesh Mountain.

…

In the valley, seeming to detect Li Xiaobai’s approach, the Flesh Mountains became instantly agitated, thrashing wildly.

They quickly enveloped Li Xiaobai and Yang Huan at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A wave after wave of putrid smell came toward them, and more and more chunks of flesh writhed and gathered, firmly enveloping Li Xiaobai, a scarlet aura filling the air as the numbers on the system panel suddenly doubled.

“Hehe, kid, hurry up and do something. I can’t stand this smell; it’s too stinky!”

Ji Wuqing furiously sucked on a Huazi, shrieking out loud.

“Yeah, boss, make a move quickly. All these Flesh Mountains are coming, and there are more and more!”

Yang Huan was so frightened she was almost crying. The oppressive feeling given by such a large number of powerful Flesh Mountains was too great.

“No worry, just wait a bit longer. We’ll burn them all in one go once all the Flesh Mountains are here. With Huazi around, there’s nothing to fear.”

With that said, Li Xiaobai casually threw out two packs of Huazi.

Seeing a whole pack of Huazi, Yang Huan’s eyes widened. Just one had already benefited her greatly. Now the boss had actually given her an entire pack. If she were to finish them all, perhaps she could immediately advance to the Nascent Soul Stage?

In an instant, she was not only unafraid of the Flesh Mountain but even wanted more of them to come.

Ji Wuqing also let out a strange shout, grabbing the Huazi and starting to draw furiously on it.

With their mouths stuffed, both the person and the chicken stopped clamoring.

The terror of these Flesh Mountains lay only in their effect on the mind. With Huazi around, all influences could be eliminated, and it was just the feeling of being enveloped by the Flesh Mountains that was somewhat nauseating.

Li Xiaobai’s eyes flickered with a cold glint. Those guys outside wanted to use the Flesh Mountains to kill him, but he couldn’t just let them off so easily.

At the same time.

Outside the valley, the bodyguard squad saw the scene below and all revealed smiles.

Cai Kunxu’s Elixir had taken effect, and Li Xiaobai was easily swallowed up by the Flesh Mountain.

The Captain called to the others and leaped down.

“Hehe, Li Xiaobai is indeed stubborn and arrogantly confident to the extreme. I’m afraid he won’t understand how he ended up like this even in death!”

“Hehe, no kidding. The guy had such a big mouth. If Lord Cai hadn’t instructed us, I would have killed him long ago!”
