I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 372: 373 The Terrifying Strength of the Heavenly Blade

“`

“Then why don’t you give it a try?”

Song Que raised his eyelids slightly and said indifferently.

“My Fire Qilin Cave has never had a precedent for giving way to others. In the coming days when we arrive here, not only does the Holy City not send anyone to welcome us, but they also obstruct us. The hundred-year prestige of my Fire Qilin Cave must not be destroyed here!”

“It’s said that cultivators on the border fight with the Flesh Mountain all year round and that their Primordial Spirit Power far exceeds that of cultivators from the Mainland. Today, this old man shall meet these border experts and see just how powerful they really are!”

The elder surnamed Wang’s eagle eyes lit up, and with a single step forward, his fierce momentum cut through the sky, heading straight for Song Que at the city gate.

The oppressive might rampaged around; flickers of firelight loomed in the void, and surrounding cultivators retreated one after another. Their chests heaved as cracks appeared, the pressure was too strong—they felt as if they couldn’t catch their breath.

Li Xiaobai watched the system panel before him and nodded inwardly. This old man’s strength was far greater than the likes of Cai Kunxu and Xu Xiong.

Merely the wind pressure alone added several thousand attribute points; indeed, it was worthy of Central Province’s established power. Such a foundation was incomparable for ordinary cultivators.

“Ridiculous.”

On the steps, Song Que still didn’t even lift his eyelids, tapping the handle of his blade lightly with a finger. The metal’s light chime echoed, and the Wang elder’s momentum melted away like ice and snow, the mighty pressure disappearing without a trace.

The scene once again fell into an eerie silence. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

The elder surnamed Wang was so shocked his eyeballs nearly popped out. He was a Mahayana Realm cultivator; although not the very top amongst experts, he was still a boss-level character. How could it be that with a casual tap on the hilt of his blade, his momentum crumbled instantly? What kind of maneuver was that?

Were all the cultivators from the border this strong?

The other elders also felt that something was amiss. They thought that with their cultivation levels, they could recklessly slaughter in the border region.

But now, it seemed that their cultivation levels couldn’t make waves here. Just entering the city was proving to be so difficult for them, a far cry from what they had imagined.

The might of the middle-aged man in front of them was far beyond their own; forcing their way through was impossible. But if they were to truly line up obediently at the back, the might of their Fire Qilin Cave would be gone.

“Who exactly are you? With such strength, you can’t be a nobody. Today our Saint Heir has come as per the unanimous decision of the ancient ancestors from all the clans in Central Province. Even if the Holy City has its rules, you should at least consider the feelings of the ancient ancestors of the clans, right?”

“Behind us stand not just the Fire Qilin Cave but also the presence of the ancient ancestors of various clans!”

Fury mixed with shock in the elder surnamed Wang’s eyes as he spoke sternly.

This was his first time coming to the border; he had heard that these waters ran deep, but only today did he truly understand the depth. Let’s not even talk about others, just the strength of the one-armed middle-aged man at the city gate—he doubted that even the Great Elder’s arrival would be of any use. Only the Cave Master or even older generation experts might have a chance to suppress him.

However, he wasn’t too worried. Behind him lurked the shadows of the many clans of Central Province and the foundation of great powers. Even if the man before him had reached the highest levels of cultivation, he couldn’t possibly refuse to give any face at all.

But immediately after, he was stunned.

Song Que, still silent, slowly drew the saber from his waist with his remaining right hand without lifting his eyelids. It was a short saber, its body smeared with bloodstains, the blade chipped and jagged.

It was as if the saber was telling the world of its past glories in battle. As it was drawn, the stench of iron blood pervaded the entire space.

Li Xiaobai frowned slightly; the smell was a combination of blood, rust, and the stench emanating from Flesh Mountain, quite pungent.

“Fellow Daoist, do you really intend to have a real fight with us before allowing passage?”

“`

“If this matter were known to the various clans of the Central Province, I’m afraid you’ll have a hard time exculpating yourself!”

The Wang surnamed elder was both alarmed and furious; the blade in the opponent’s hands sent a chill to the core of his being. Should they come to blows, he was afraid he would be beheaded.

That ragged blade was most definitely a grand weapon of slaughter, a peerless deadly instrument that had taken countless lives!

“Are the clans of the Central Province so remarkable? Kid, even if your Cave Master were here, he wouldn’t dare contradict my will. It seems you sheltered flowers have lived too comfortably; you have no idea what a towering mountain sits before you.”

Song Que’s words were shocking; he showed no courtesy to Fire Qilin Cave – with a swing of his hand, the blade plunged fiercely into the steps beside him.

In an instant, with Song Que at the center, a hundred li around him instantly transformed into an ancient Blade Array.

The steps, the city gates, the wasteland, the weeds – all disappeared from sight. In the eyes of the many cultivators, there was only the blade, countless currents of blade qi crisscrossing in the void.

Underfoot were blades; blades also floated in the sky; and sitting upon that step was an even more captivating blade!

The sound of clashing metal was incessant; waves of an ancient aura pervaded, sweeping across the entire Blade Domain.

It seemed in this world there was nothing left but blades.

“What is this?”

“Senior Sky Blade is enraged!”

“Senior Sky Blade, please, calm your anger! I have the elderly and children at home, please spare us!”

“Don’t move rashly, be careful not to get hurt by the blade qi!”

“Fire Qilin Cave has provoked Senior Sky Blade!”

The cultivators were in an uproar on the spot; the scene before them was too terrifying to comprehend. They had frequented the city gate for so long, yet this was the first time they had witnessed Sky Blade Song Que take action.

Being in such an environment, they didn’t dare to move a muscle, fearing a careless move might get them cleaved by a stray blade qi.

Li Xiaobai’s eyes widened in astonishment. This was the first time he had seen such an operation; directly turning a hundred li into his domain. This method was somewhat similar to Hellfire, yet his Hellfire could grow infinitely.

This world was more like a Formation, but the power of this Formation seemed exceptionally terrifying. The intense aura of the blade’s edge, and the ancient aura it emitted, were not to be taken lightly.

He stealthily reached out and touched the sharpness beside him.

[Attribute Points +20000…]

[Attribute Points +30000…]

[Attribute Points +40000…]

Attribute Points skyrocketed, causing Li Xiaobai’s heart to race with shock. It was said that Sky Blade was missing an arm and had greatly diminished strength, but the Attribute Points increasing now was terrifyingly astonishing.

Merely briefly touching the blade qi’s edge, the increase in Attribute Points was comparable to the stomach of a Sea Clan bigshot.

It was unimaginable how powerful Sky Blade would be at his peak; no wonder he could slaughter his way through the Flesh Mountain Battlefield – such strength was not for show.

Turning his head to look again at Song Que on the steps, his figure flickered between man and blade, with overlapping and interweaving shadows, leaving onlookers dizzy.

Sounds of blade hums resonated, echoing in the cultivators’ hearts.

“Line up quietly, or else, I’ll now put a full stop to Fire Qilin’s strive for supremacy.”
