I Don t Want to Get Hurt, So I ll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 88

Chapter 88 – Chapter 88: Boss Ye, A Legendary Figure

“Blood Demon Primordial Spirit!”

Protector Liu suppressed the injuries within his body, frantically urging his cultivation technique. A towering blood-red shadow surged from the ground, with hands pressed together in prayer, it charged towards the rampaging Ironclad Behemoth.

In his heart, Protector Liu was shocked. The Soul Summoning Banner was his Life-bound Spirit Treasure, and it was augmented by the Spiritual Power of several other Evil Cultivators. Yet, even with such power, it was shattered by a single move. What level of strength was this?

“Quick, aid me, and stop this person at all costs!” Protector Liu urged, aware that the rider of the Ironclad beast possessed abilities far beyond his own, unrivaled within his knowledge.

The other Evil Cultivators snapped out of their shock and began rapidly channeling Spiritual Energy into the Blood Demon Primordial Spirit.

The blood-colored phantom swelled in size and slowly solidified, transforming the sky’s Blood Qi into one colossal claw that reached for the heavy-duty truck.

Piercing metallic friction echoed through the air as the void trembled violently, the might of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator undeniably manifesting itself.

“Battle the Eight Directions!”

Protector Liu’s fists turned into blood-colored millstones, powerfully striking the heavy-duty truck in an attempt to flip the massive vehicle over.

[Attribute Points +800…]

[Attribute Points +1000…]

Li Xiaobai scoffed at the resistance of the Evil Cultivators. These additional Attribute Points were far inferior to those earned in the past encounters within the Divine Beast Mountain Range with other Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.

Flooring the accelerator, even if a Daluo Golden Immortal arrived, he would still ram and cripple them.

The Minor Golden Body Talisman safeguarded everyone from disturbances. Li Xiaobai immediately shifted into second gear, doubling the consumption of Spirit Stones and likewise doubling the truck’s ramming force.

The moment the blood-colored giant claw came into contact with the truck, it shattered into pieces. The blood-colored primordial spirit was no match, and after a brief deadlock that lasted only a breath’s time, faded into a wisp of blue smoke.

“Puh!”

As his Life-bound Spirit Treasure and Primordial Spirit were consecutively destroyed, Protector Liu spurted blood violently, his eyes bloodshot. A blood-colored talisman emerged, as he attempted to escape.

“Blood Demon True Resolution!”

Li Xiaobai wouldn’t miss such an opportunity. A similarly towering blood-colored demonic phantom manifested, and the space around it instantly became imprisoned.

The blood-colored talisman in Protector Liu’s hand lost its effect, igniting into flames and burning to ashes.

“How can this be!”

“This is the Blood Demon True Resolution, but who are you really!”

“Quick, help me stop him, contact Lord Liu!”

Protector Liu’s heart split with dread, filled with terror. The Blood Demon True Resolution represented a genuine Evil Cultivator technique, one he had yet to fully comprehend. Who exactly was Zhang Rui, he was only supposed to be a mere Golden Core youngster?

The heavy-duty truck, radiating an icy, iron-blooded aura, didn’t pause for a moment as it rolled straight over Protector Liu.

As the blood-colored phantom vanished, the bloody wheels kept turning, maintaining momentum, and charging once more towards the other Evil Cultivators.

The black smoke dispersed chaotically, spreading a malevolent energy in all directions.

Those nearby fled in all directions, but Xia Liu and Xia Chuan were a second too slow to react, tainted by the black miasma. Their bodies instantly turned pitch black and disintegrated.

“Ah, save me, elder brother!”

“Save me, Immortal of the Wang Family!”

“Little brother…”

Amid the mournful screams, Xia Jian and Wang Ruoxian were pale with fright, unable to concern themselves with anything else as they watched the two Xia brothers dissolve into nothingness before their eyes, corrosive energy disintegrating them to the point where not even bones remained.

“Elder brother, third brother, I will avenge you!”

Xia Jian bit his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood essence onto a scroll, which conjured illusions and swiftly carried him away. Wang Ruoxian also didn’t dare linger, flicking her Immortal Sword and also traversing through the air with agility.

Li Xiaobai’s truck was exceptionally sinister, and staying any longer would mean certain death.

However, the other few evil cultivators were not so fortunate. The heavy truck swept across with graceful brutality, reducing several men to piles of shredded flesh. Limbs and arms hung from the wheels, creating a scene of indistinct carnage that was exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.

Zuo Da and the other two were thoroughly terrified by the scene before them, their legs weakened, causing them to collapse onto the ground.

“Boss Ye, we are all good citizens!”

“We abide by the law, please, spare us!”

Li Xiaobai got out of the truck and searched the body of Protector Liu, who was crushed beyond recognition, and he retrieved a small fragment.

At the moment he touched the fragment, it transformed into a streak of light that entered Li Xiaobai’s body. At the same time, the system panel flickered.

[Attribute Point +10000…]

Just as he suspected, Li Xiaobai was inwardly startled. This fragment was identical to the one he had obtained in the Divine Beast Mountain Range. It could directly add ten thousand attribute points, and was undoubtedly a treasure.

[Host: Li Xiaobai.]

[…]

[Defensive Power: Indestructible Golden Body, Seventh Turn (3000/70000) Advancement possible.]

[Attribute Points: 0]

[Store: Now Open.]

[Unlocked Achievement: Trouble Maker. Current Progress: (2/108) Upon completion, reward can be claimed.]

His defensive power had finally advanced, fully resolving the negative effects of Blood Demon Corrosion. Li Xiaobai felt much lighter.

Moreover, he had unlocked an achievement, which had been triggered by the collection of the fragment. It seemed to be related to the fragment, and he had now obtained two fragments in total.

There were still one hundred and six fragments waiting to be discovered. Li Xiaobai’s breathing became ragged with excitement. A single fragment meant ten thousand attribute points, and now there were as many as a hundred left. If all were found, his defensive power could soar off the charts in minutes.

“Um… Boss Ye?”

Watching Li Xiaobai drift into a daze, Zuo Da asked timidly, having not expected the bathhouse owner to be such a fearsome person, capable of slaughtering a Nascent Soul Cultivator with a single disagreement, his depth of power unfathomable!

“Brother Zuo, still considering looking for Zhang Rui?”

“No more, no more, from now on my brothers and I will retire and disappear into the mountains. What happened today, we will absolutely forget completely!” Zuo Da swore with conviction.

“Hmm, the three of you are not bad. Leave a way to contact you.”

Li Xiaobai said, returning to his senses. He was not a wanton killer. These three evil cultivators were foolishly endearing, and they might prove useful in the future.

“This is a Voice Transmission Token. Inside, there is a voice transmission formation engraved. Activate it, and you can speak with me.”

Voice Transmission Tokens are commonly used communication tools in the cultivation world. By pre-engraving a specified contact in the token, it allows for remote control and distance communication, which is very convenient.

“Alright, you can leave. If there’s anything, Liangchen will contact you.”

“Rest assured, Boss Ye, we will go through fire and water without hesitation when called upon!”

Zuo Da and his companions felt like they had been pardoned and hastily drew out a talisman. With a flash, they vanished on the spot.

The sinister wind dissipated, and the ghostly wails ceased. The place quieted down. The cultivators inside the truck quietly peeked their heads out, looking around.

In just an instant, everyone’s complexion turned pale as they leaned over the edge of the truck, unable to stop themselves from vomiting outward.

The ground had become completely red, covered with shattered bones and skin, many parts mixed with the wheels of the truck. Thick blood dripped down, and the pungent smell of blood made their stomachs churn violently.

“Boss Ye… A true god indeed!”
