I Don t Want to Get Hurt, So I ll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 736

Chapter 736: Chapter 737: Firecracker Thunderclap

“Who goes there!”

“It’s him, that guy actually chased us here!”

Upon seeing Li Xiaobai’s figure, the Evil Cultivators started to panic noticeably, their hearts filled with immense anxiety now that they knew their opponent had ascended to the Human Immortal realm; after all, they had relentlessly pursued him for the Blood Sacrifice Fragments, and at this moment, the seniors from the Evil Sects in the Upper Realm hadn’t been able to descend to the Immortal Spirit Continent, making them no match for him.

“Woof, time to capture some pets!”

“Kakaka, time to capture some pets!”

Ergouzi and Ji Wuqing both grabbed hold of the Purple Gold Gourd and jointly commanded, “I call upon you once, do you dare to respond?”

In an instant, the light of flying immortals burst forth, and everyone caught in their sight was sucked into it; it took no more than the blink of an eye, and the number of cultivators within the Evil Sect plummeted by more than half, all corralled into the Purple Gold Gourd.

Li Xiaobai walked up to the Sect Master of the Evil Sect, who stood there with a vacant look and trembling in fear, and asked indifferently, “There are a total of one hundred and eight Blood Sacrifice Fragments on the Immortal Spirit Continent. I have collected one hundred and five, leaving three missing. Do you know their whereabouts?”

“If I tell you, can I trade that information for my life?”

The complexion of the Sect Master of the Evil Sect had turned somewhat pale; he couldn’t see through Li Xiaobai’s methods at all. A treasure capable of instantly whisking away more than a dozen Great Crossing Realm Experts along with countless disciples was definitely an Upper Realm tactic.

“Speak!” Li Xiaobai had little patience.

“It’s on the altar of my Evil Sect.”

“What purpose do these Blood Sacrifice Fragments serve, and what kind of conspiracy lies behind them?”

“If I tell you, can I trade that knowledge for my life?” the voice of the Sect Master of the Evil Sect trembled slightly.

“Speak!”

“These Blood Sacrifice Fragments are the core elements of a Formation, comprising one hundred and eight such cores scattered across various lands of the Immortal Spirit Continent. Once activated, they would form a grand Blood Sacrifice Formation, set by a formidable expert from the Upper Realm. The specific details are beyond my knowledge; I implore you, Young Master, for understanding!”

explained the Sect Master of the Evil Sect.

“Blood Sacrifice Formation?”

“What happens if it’s activated?”

Li Xiaobai asked, frowning.

“It would sacrifice all living beings on the Immortal Spirit Continent in a blood ritual, turning them into pure nourishment to assist an unnamed grand figure from the Upper Realm in breaking through his realm.”

“Who is this grand figure, and to which power does he belong?”

“This grand figure’s name is unknown to me, but the seniors of our Evil Sect belong to a Super Sect from the Upper Realm called the Blood Demon Sect.”

The Sect Master of the Evil Sect knew quite a lot, scraping the bowels of his knowledge to disclose all he was aware of, in the hopes of sparing his life.

Although the name Blood Demon Sect was unknown to Li Xiaobai, he was very clear about the weight carried by the words ‘Super Sect’. Even the Sword Sect, which numerous dynasties relied upon, didn’t possess such power. This was a formidable force indeed.

The Immortal Spirit Continent had long been targeted by these grand figures from the Upper Realm. What a complicated destiny!

“According to your plans, when were you intending to activate the Formation?”

“The original plan was to commence once the cultivators descending from the Upper Realm were almost in place, but now with Young Master Li taking away the Fragments, sabotaging the Formation, the Blood Sacrifice Formation has become nothing more than an empty shell.”

the Sect Master of the Evil Sect hastily clarified.

“You did have quite the clever calculation!”

“That grand figure from the Upper Realm has vast ambitions, seemingly intending to take down all these cultivators from the Upper Realm as well, truly a formidable plan.”

Li Xiaobai pondered inwardly, the Blood Demon Sect was clearly not on the same page as the powers from the dynasties and sects that came from the Lower Realm, even willing to boil them in the pot before serving them all up at once.

The audacity and tactics involved were frightening; sacrificing the living beings of the entire Immortal Spirit Continent merely to aid the breakthrough of one great being was nothing short of embodying the ultimate extreme of demonic heresy.

The Central Origin Realm took the initiative to open the space portal. There might be powers behind it, fanning the flames, but now their plans have been thwarted by me.

“What does Blood Demon Sect plan to do next?” Li Xiaobai continued to ask.

“The higher-ups haven’t decided yet, but since Young Master has taken all the fragments, it seems you will face pursuit from Blood Demon Sect. However, Young Master can rest assured, I will definitely put in a good word for Young Master in front of the Upper Realm authorities!” said the Sect Master of the Evil Sect, his desire to win very strong.

“Hehe, no need, Ergouzi, Xiao Ji, take him!”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand and slowly walked towards the direction of the rift in the sky of the Northern Region, where the remaining three fragments were located.

“Collect pet!”

“I’ll call you once, dare you respond?”

Before the Sect Master of the Evil Sect could react, Ergouzi, thrilled, swung his gourd and instantly captured him inside.

“Giggle, it’s a pity I’m always collecting old men, too pale for my taste, I want girls!”

“Silly dog, when we get to the Central Origin Realm, we’re going to collect Saint Heirs and saintesses!” Ji Wuqing said somewhat dissatisfied.

“Of course, we need to collect some people with status.”

On the other hand.

Li Xiaobai put the last three fragments into the System one after another.

[Attribute Point +10000…]

[Attribute Point +10000…]

[Attribute Point +10000…]

[Achievement: Trouble Maker (108/108) obtained.]

[Ding! The host has completed the achievement task and obtained the title, Trouble Maker!]

[Ding! Host acquires the Trouble Maker title, reward item: Firecracker Thunderclap!]

[Firecracker Thunderclap: A bamboo stick containing extremely unstable Immortal Yuan that will explode upon impact. The power of a single one is equal to a full-strength attack from a Human Immortal realm cultivator. (Price: One thousand Lower Grade Immortal Stones).]

(Note: Art is an explosion!)

Hisss!

This reward was far beyond Li Xiaobai’s expectations, a new item was directly unlocked, and looking at the situation, it was not only cheap but also very useful.

A single Firecracker Thunderclap cost only one thousand Lower Grade Immortal Stones. If he casually exchanged a dozen or so and threw them out together, that would be a barrage, definitely enough to flip the heavens upside down.

In the System Mall, a new product category was added, aside from Firecracker Thunderclap, there were several other options that seemed to be advanced versions of Firecracker Thunderclap, but they were all grayed out, presumably because his defensive power was not sufficient.

“This thing is more practical than an armored vehicle, and the effects are very domineering!”

Li Xiaobai’s eyes shone as he muttered to himself. He had received achievement rewards twice; the first was a heavy-duty truck that was now of no use, but the Firecracker Thunderclap addressed his urgent needs, giving him more leverage against the Upper Realm cultivators.

He spent a thousand Lower Grade Immortal Stones to exchange for one.

It was a piece of emerald-green bamboo, about the length of two hands, shaking the surrounding air as soon as he took it out. Inside the bamboo, there seemed to be an endless ferocious essence desperate to wreak havoc, appearing extremely dangerous and ready to explode at any moment.

“Woof, lad, what do you have in your hand?”

“Giggle, silly dog, can’t you see what this is?”

“???!”

Li Xiaobai: “…”
