I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 682

Chapter 682: Chapter 683: Have you ever seen your own butt?
Chen Yuanyuan screamed in horror, the aura emanating from Li Xiaobai sent a chill from the depths of her soul, and she couldn’t see through his cultivation level at all.

“Your junior sister is a Demonic Woman of the Demon Path, and you too are a demon of the heretical way, both of you siblings deserve a death of a thousand tortures!”

“Today, with the Ancestral Emperor present, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, there will be only one path for you: death!”

“Just like your junior sister, even in the moment before her death, she continued to wail in agony!”

“Guess, on the Ancestral Emperor’s bed, did she feel pleasure, pain, or perhaps both?”

Chen Yuanyuan was furiously stepping on mines; she wanted Li Xiaobai to rage. The angrier he became, the happier she was. She wanted this demon head to repent and pay a heavy price!

“Poisonous woman, courting death!”

Li Xiaobai’s eyes turned blood-red, as a rolling thunderous sound erupted from his Dantian. Like tumultuous waves, it sent shocking waves that assaulted the hearts and minds of everyone present.

That was the sound of his Inner Strength surging in the Dantian, even the humming sound alone left many Martial Artists feeling dizzy and disoriented. This was the first time Li Xiaobai had brought out his true power. After advancing to the Void Merging Realm, he never tested his limits, but now it seemed he was going to embark on a slaughter!

He was extremely irritable, filled with anger and regret. He had been tricked, and moreover, he had personally delivered Long Xue into this woman’s hands,

It wasn’t hard to imagine that Long Xue must have been screaming his name in agony when facing death, yet he was thousands of miles away, unable to help—a feeling of powerlessness that cut him deeply, as if his heart were being carved with a knife.

If only he had kept Long Xue by his side, perhaps things would have turned out differently!

If only he had been a bit more astute back then, probed a bit more, maybe the outcome would have been completely different!

If only he had not gone to the border, if only he had ignored the matters of the Imperial Court and the people of the world, Long Xue might not have died!

The reason he did all this was to ensure a peaceful and happy place for both of them in the future, to live without carrying disgrace, to be able to leave the secular world without worry. But now, all these desires were shattered.

In his heart, there was only vengeance, only fury, only hate!

“Along the way, everyone has been slandering me as a heretic demon, but thinking about it, I haven’t yet done a single thing that a demon should do. Today, I shall fulfill your desires, fully transform into a demon, and bury you all here within the Imperial Palace!”

Li Xiaobai drew his Longsword from his waist, and a sinister and enigmatic black aura entwined around the blade, even denser than it had been a few days before.

Observing the dense Aura of Death on the Longsword that couldn’t dissipate, the emperor-robed elder also narrowed his eyes to scrutinize. He didn’t take Li Xiaobai’s words to heart, seeing him merely as a mindless youth, easily extinguished.

However, the Cultivation Technique on his body had caught his attention. A Spirit Realm Technique that could absorb people’s Inner Strength, as well as the Sword Technique he was using, wrapped in an odd black aura, were all unheard of and unseen by him.

He could tell that these techniques were extraordinary, and if he could master them, his strength would surely rise to the next level. It was even conceivable that he could surpass those two in the Void Merging Realm, the monk and the taoist!

“Young man, in consideration of your junior sister’s painstaking services to me, just hand over the Cultivation Technique and Sword Technique, and I, as the Grand Emperor, will ensure your cultivation level is crippled, not your life,”

The elder revealed a faint smile, looking at Li Xiaobai, who was on the verge of a rampage; he playfully wanted to tease him for amusement.

“Have you ever seen your own ass from the front?”

Li Xiaobai suddenly came out with this nonsensical statement.

“What, what does that mean? Is there something behind me?”

The old man’s expression was one of confusion, not understanding the meaning behind the other’s words, but he still turned his head with a smile to show his disdain for Li Xiaobai. He wanted to provoke his anger to the limit and then crush that frenzied head underfoot, completely shattering his beliefs, which would give him a great sense of accomplishment.

Moreover, it would also make it easy for him to extract the secrets of the cultivation technique and the sword technique.

However, the smile on his face froze the next second. As soon as he turned his head, he felt his head being firmly held in place by a pair of large hands, unable to turn it back, and a shock ran through his heart.

“You…”

The old man’s eyes bulged. He was about to say something when his world began to spin violently. A tremendous force suddenly came from those large hands, and a crisp crack resounded. His aged head was forcefully twisted around, his face now turned backward, staring straight at his own backside.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Now you should be able to see.”

Li Xiaobai’s tone was chillingly cold, as if it were coming from the depths of the Nine Serenities Hell, causing shivers down one’s spine.

In that instant, the Golden Imperial Hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Whether it was the civil and military officials, Chen Dian sitting on the throne, or Chen Yuanyuan who was jeering coldly to the side, at that moment, they all felt as if they had fallen into an icy abyss.

As the crisp sound of bones breaking filled the air, the temperature in the entire hall seemed to plummet suddenly.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with horror and disbelief. They hadn’t even seen how Li Xiaobai had moved. It had only taken a blur before the Grand Emperor, who was revered like a living immortal, had his neck twisted.

Everything had happened in the blink of an eye, with no majestic moves or mountain-lifting strength displayed, not even the surge of inner strength was present. Their Grand Emperor, whom they had worshipped as a deity, had his neck snapped casually and smoothly.

But it was this ease that made it all the more terrifying. If he could effortlessly twist the head of a Martial Artist at the Void Merging Realm, what realm was Li Xiaobai in?

They dared not think any further.

“This… he… he killed the Grand Emperor?”

“No… it can’t be, the Grand Emperor is a Martial Artist at the Void Merging Realm. How could he be killed so easily!”

“Did any of you see how Li Xiaobai moved just now? Why didn’t I see anything?”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Damn it, what level is his cultivation? I get Refinement Void, but it can’t possibly be this strong, right?”

“What kind of existence has the Chen Family provoked?”

The civil and military officials appeared somewhat panicked. Seeing someone snap the Grand Emperor’s neck so simply would make anyone tremble with fear.

Chen Yuanyuan’s eyes were nearly popping out. She could not have imagined that Li Xiaobai possessed such capability. The development of the plot was different from what she had imagined—wasn’t Li Xiaobai supposed to be brutally beaten?

How had it turned into him defeating the Ancestral Emperor?

For the first time, her heart felt uneasy. At this very moment, even the might of the Ancestral Emperor didn’t seem so reliable.

Li Xiaobai loosened his grip slightly, letting go of the old man’s head, his face full of indifference as he observed the other party.

Under everyone’s gaze, the disfigured old head suddenly trembled, then began to twist round and round, friction noises between the bones crackling nonstop, as if popping beans.

After rotating clockwise a full 180 degrees, the old man’s eyes once again sparkled with life as he stared at Li Xiaobai, filled with amazement, and said, “I had not expected that you too were an expert at the Void Merging Realm!”
