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

“Laugh now, but when you face the Flesh Mountain, you’ll find that the Spiritual Power inside you is like a swamp that can’t be stirred!”

“At that time, it will be your end, dying at the hands of the Flesh Mountain, and I’ll have nothing to do with it!”

Cai Kunxu sneered repeatedly, his figure turning as he disappeared with Xiong Da, heading deeper into the battlefield.

They were off to locate the flames on the battlefield and analyze the situation.

On the wasteland, Li Xiaobai was still walking at an unhurried pace.

There was no one around anymore, and impatience flashed in the eyes of the Captain in the team behind him. Everyone else was riding light and flying, covering mountains and rivers in an instant. This Li Xiaobai, for some reason, insisted on traveling on foot.

And he walked so slowly that after more than ten minutes, they had only covered a mile. Looking back, they could still vaguely see the warship’s silhouette.

With this progress, they might not even reach the designated area by evening.

Remembering Cai Kunxu’s instructions, a sense of urgency flashed in the Captain’s eyes as he stepped forward to speak.

“Lord Li, this pace won’t work, should we not fly over?”

“What’s the rush? If the enemy doesn’t move, I don’t move. The battlefield situation changes in the blink of an eye, so we mustn’t act recklessly. How did your City Lord teach you?”

Li Xiaobai glanced at the Captain and said indifferently.

Li Xiaobai had long seen through their ill intentions. The battlefield was vast, so taking a leisurely walk wasn’t a big problem.

It would serve to temper the temperament of this elite squad.

The Captain was so irritated he was almost crooked. What nonsense was this, ‘if the enemy doesn’t move, I don’t move’? Aren’t we supposed to be clearing the battlefield? How could you clear anything without moving?

The most crucial point was that at this pace, they wouldn’t reach the location specified by Cai Kunxu, meaning they wouldn’t be able to kill Li Xiaobai!

“Lord, we still have to look for treasures in the flames later. If we do not move fast now, it might delay the rest of the journey,” the Captain said with a pained expression.

“Hmm, you make sense. Since that’s the case, let’s move a bit faster.”

Li Xiaobai nodded, flipped his wrist, and the Lamborghini instantly appeared on the ground.

After stuffing Yang Huan into the passenger seat, Li Xiaobai got into the car and slowly said to the somewhat stunned cultivators outside the window.

“Don’t daze off. My speed is very fast; you must keep up.”

“Under… Understood…”

The Captain nodded, his eyes wide with amazement as he stared at the Lamborghini. He swore he had never seen such a vehicle in his life. Although he didn’t know how to operate it, it was so incredibly cool!

“Right, let’s go.”

Li Xiaobai nodded, casually inserted a top-grade Spirit Stone, and with a roaring buzz, the Lamborghini turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared from view.

Leaving a cloud of dust for the soldiers trailing behind.

“I can’t believe this…”

“What kind of Divine Beast mount is this?”

“It seems we’ve been out of touch for too long. The Immortal Spirit Continent now has such vehicles?”

“Quick, hurry up and follow. We must complete the task given by Lord Cai Kunxu!”

“Let’s go!”

Inside the Lamborghini.

Yang Huan was pale with fright as the steel behemoth zipped along, the scenery blurring around them, leaving only the sound of the wind whistling in their ears.

“Giggle, kid, we’re on the battlefield now, make some trouble, quick!”

Ji Wuqing popped out his head from Li Xiaobai’s embrace, screaming excitedly.

“Hehe, the show is about to begin,” said Li Xiaobai, with a smile playing on his lips, as he could see from the rearview mirror that a group of elite squad members was in hot pursuit.

“Boss, what kind of Divine Beast is this?” asked Yang Huan, shivering.

“Lamborghini.”

Li Xiaobai took a small puff of the Huazi and said indifferently.

“What’s a Ginny?”

“Lamborghini.”

“Blue what Ginny?”

“Lamborghini!”

“What’s a Ginny?”

Li Xiaobai: “…”

He almost forgot that this woman’s thought processes were off.

It was only after a quiet half-hour that he almost mistook her for a normal person.

“Big shot?”

Yang Huan’s eyes twinkled with confusion. She really couldn’t understand the name of this mount, this Divine Beast; it was too abstruse. She had never heard anything like it before.

“It doesn’t matter, you don’t need to know. Anyway, you won’t see a second one again.”

Li Xiaobai spoke slowly, casually stuffing a Huazi into Yang Huan’s mouth.

Yang Huan stopped talking, sucking voraciously on the Huazi in ecstasy. Such divine objects were rare and sought after – one puff could make one feel like they were floating, on the verge of enlightenment.

That really was something.

[Attribute Points +100…]

[Attribute Points +100…]

The numbers on the System panel gradually began to jump, and a faint fishy stench could be smelled.

It seemed they had entered the territory covered by the Flesh Mountain. The battlefield’s Flesh Mountain wasn’t the same as the one outside – starting with a hundred Attribute Points, who knows how many times stronger it was than the periphery.

The deeper they went, the stronger the stench became, and they could see the huge chunks of flesh wriggling along the way.

Half an hour later.

Li Xiaobai deliberately slowed down, driving side by side with the squad Captain.

“Sir, what sort of Divine Beast is your mount, to be so swift that even we can’t keep up?”

The squad Captain panted as he spoke, nearly breaking his legs trying to keep up with Li Xiaobai.

Nevertheless, his eyes still shimmered with ardent light. Cai Kunxu didn’t know Li Xiaobai had such a divine object. If Li died, out in the wilderness, wouldn’t the treasure become his alone?

“Heh, this is my mount; you can call it Eyelash Little King Kong. How much farther is it to our destination?”

Li Xiaobai said nonchalantly, feeling no need to elaborate for these soon-to-be-dead men.

“We’re almost there; it’s right ahead.”

The squad Captain said. Their speed was fast, and with little time spent, they rushed into the heartland.

“Didn’t Lord Cai previously say that we were to clean up the outer area? This doesn’t seem like the edge to me?”

Li Xiaobai asked with interest.

“Sir is unaware, but this is the outer area. If you continue to go deeper, you’ll find an even more vast and boundless territory.”

The squad Captain lied through his teeth. Going further inwards would leave the battlefield behind and enter the real gathering places of the Flesh Mountain.

A few minutes later.

Li Xiaobai got off his vehicle.

This was the place the squad Captain had spoken of, presumably where Cai Kunxu planned to have him killed.

Li Xiaobai was curious to see what this squad could manage without Great Crossing Realm Cultivators taking action.

After a short wait, the rest of the squad arrived one after another, all out of breath. They exerted all their strength, yet they couldn’t even catch a whiff of the Lamborghini’s exhaust fumes.

Li Xiaobai stowed the Lamborghini and stood with his hands clasped behind his back, speaking indifferently.

“This won’t do, how did Lord Cai teach you? You’re panting after just a few steps – do you lack exercise on normal days?”
