I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1068 - 1069: Hit and Run

Chapter 1068: Chapter 1069: Hit and Run

Inside the block of ice.

Chen Heyan’s eyes almost burst open. This man and beast were incredibly cunning, deliberately letting the Demonic Beast hide under the water to set up a frame-up. They waited until the Sect Leader’s Divine Soul let down his guard before suddenly popping out to deliver a crushing blow. Such sly tactics were rather sophisticated and practiced!

Watching the giant shadow, step by step lifting its massive club, approaching him, his heart was in utter panic. To face this club head-on meant certain death.

“Roar!”

Godzilla swept its long stick horizontally, without a hint of hesitation, and fiercely smashed it down towards Chen Heyan. The ferocious power cleaved the sea water, turning the ice block into shattered pieces. It never even took the Sea-Calming Divine Needle’s additional skill into account; it had swung just twice from beginning to end, the first club took the life of the Saint Realm Divine Soul, and the second shattered the ice block, striking with vicious force.

In that instant, Chen Heyan was also smashed into mincemeat, deader than dead.

“Bang!”

A vast amount of resources and Heaven and Earth Treasures burst forth in the void, scattering and floating on the surface of the sea. For a moment, the whole ocean was enveloped in a layer of shimmering jeweled aura, sparkling radiantly.

“This… this is the lifetime accumulation of a Half-Saint Strong Expert!”

On the boat, Uncle Huo’s voice even altered pitch, so immensely wealthy. It was probably hard to imagine in this world to have the chance to witness a Half-Saint expert’s lifetime resources; let alone ordinary cultivators, even those of the Half-Saint Realm and even Saint Realm experts might not see such a thing a few times in their lives.

And yet, they had personally witnessed the entire process of a Half-Saint’s downfall, including the treasures scattered across the sea dazzling to the eyes. Mere words such as ‘rich as a nation’ were not sufficient to describe what they saw and heard. No wonder people often say that the flood drowns the rich, and the drought starves the poor; those with high cultivation levels accumulate wealth just like a snowball rolling and gathering, getting bigger by the moment.

Ninety-five percent of wealth is often in the hands of five percent of people; even the Huo Family, who had been in business for years, had understood this somewhat vaguely, but today they truly comprehended it. No doctrine of life or philosophy was as shocking and real as witnessing with their own eyes.

The wealth that filled their field of vision was not just Immortal Stones but also included various Magic Treasures, elixirs, medicinal herbs, and treasured ancient artifacts of indeterminable value.

“What’s the big deal? Getting so emotional over the savings of a mere Half-Saint, how are you going to inherit the family business in the future?”

Li Xiaobai was quite composed, having seen billions before, he wouldn’t be swayed by such a small scene. He swiftly collected the scattered resources above the sea, with wealth and resources surging directly.

A rough estimate was that although there weren’t a billion supreme Immortal Stones, there were still several tens of millions. But even more were the precious resources—medicinal herbs, Formations, elixirs, talismans, et cetera. If he found a place to sell them, these resources could easily exceed a billion, and if auctioned, their value could double.

This gamble with Godzilla and the Sea-Calming Divine Needle paid off; Chen Heyan’s stash had made him break even.

“Young Master Li, you killed a Half-Saint Strong Expert and even obliterated the Divine Soul strength of a Saint Realm expert!”

“With this level of power and cultivation, you could already look down upon the Central Origin Realm, couldn’t you?”

Uncle Huo’s speech became even more respectful. Initially, he had guessed that this young man might be a great figure in disguise, just to play among mortals. Now it seemed very likely that his thought was correct.

Possessing a Human Skin Mask, an item that could be called a Divine Artifact, he could change into anyone’s face, even the Icy Frost Sect Leader hadn’t noticed anything amiss. This Young Master Li could change into Han Buzhu, which meant that his original face was very likely also disguised and even his name might be false. This was a super powerhouse, fearless of Saint Realm experts!

The Huo Family has latched onto some powerful thighs!

“This is the power of money, you guys don’t understand, actually, I’m quite troubled at heart,”

Li Xiaobai waved his hand indifferently. These guys didn’t understand the power of money: first, they didn’t have money, and second, they didn’t have the System; they couldn’t at all appreciate what it felt like to spend two billion in one breath without even batting an eyelid.

Despite Chen Heyan’s resources allowing him to break even, now all he could think about was how poor he was: I am so poor!

Really poor: with his current resources, he could only summon ten Half-Saint Godzillas or a single Saint Realm Godzilla, which was a far cry from the dream of commanding an army of Godzillas.

If he wanted to lead Godzillas into battle across the lands in the future, wouldn’t he need a net worth of at least ten billion to splurge?

Wasn’t there any inheritance in the Central Origin Realm waiting for him to claim? Say, a humble three-hundred-billion to start with?

“Yes, yes, Young Master’s vision and scale are naturally incomparable to ours; we can’t understand Young Master’s troubles,”

Uncle Huo agreed respectfully, nodding seriously. In his view, the considerations of such a powerful figure differed vastly from those of ordinary cultivators. The ordinary ones planned everything based on their own interests, but this level of big-shot thought it through on a much grander scale, with each move considering the fate of the world, too vast to fully comprehend, and so troubles were to be expected.

What the Huo Family needed to do was follow closely in the footsteps of this big-shot, make him comfortable, and leave a good impression on Ice Dragon Island.

“You mustn’t underestimate yourselves; each one of you is the future pillar of the Central Origin Realm. You’ll need to keep honing your skills and push forward. Go for it, I have faith in you!”

Li Xiaobai stood with his hands behind his back, the lonely figure of the invincible, then turned around to return to the deck of the ship. Godzilla and the Sea-Calming Divine Needle slowly disappeared from the sea. After such a monumental battle, it was rather fortunate that the ship didn’t fall apart.

“Y… Young Master, this old man saw nothing at all, I just felt a darkness before my eyes and then fell asleep, and when I woke up, I discovered it was bright daylight, and the sea was calm, truly a perfect moment for sailing!”

The old goat cowered in a corner at the head of the ship, and upon seeing Li Xiaobai, his face contorted into a smile uglier than crying.

“In that case, would you please set sail, Old Goat Brother?”

Li Xiaobai said in his cheery way; the poor old man was really unlucky to have run into him twice, and both times he spent in utter terror.

“Young Master, you give this old man too much credit. The title of ‘brother’ is too much for me to bear. If Young Master doesn’t mind, from now on, just call me Little Goat!”

The voice of the old goat was trembling as he clambered to the helm with hands and feet, raised the sails, and the ship headed back on course towards Ice Dragon Island.

“That wisp of Divine Soul has perished, and all its experiences will return to the original body, which means that the Sect Leader of the Icy Frost Sect should now be aware that it was Chen Heyan and a mysterious strong expert who carried out the assassination against the three young masters of the Icy Frost Sect.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, both the Huo Family and I should have cleanly extricated ourselves from this matter. By the time that Sect Leader reaches this sea region, we will be long gone; I refuse to believe he can still reach out to us on Ice Dragon Island.”

“Hit and run after a single strike, truly thrilling!”
