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

Chapter 448: Chapter 449: Second Leader of the Aolai Country in the Eastern Sea
“So, that’s how it is.”

Li Xiaobai nodded, feeling rather speechless in his heart.

The world of the big shots was still as incomprehensible as ever.

However, Elder Tianji’s analysis was probably correct. The Second Leader of the Aolai Country would appear first, followed by the ancestors of various clans taking the stage one after another.

“Young friend, is there anything else you wish to instruct? If not, this old man will continue with the tracking and reporting.”

Elder Tianji looked expectantly at Li Xiaobai.

“Erm… nothing for now, the news today is already explosive enough to keep the Immortal Spirit Daily selling well for quite a long time.”

Li Xiaobai felt helpless in his heart, the old man always wanted benefits at every meeting.

“That… Senior, considering the tremendous contribution I’ve already made to the Immortal Spirit Daily, could the number one spot possibly be…”

Li Xiaobai asked with a look full of expectation in his eyes.

“Cough cough, the ancestors of the various clans are still waiting for this old man to report on them, so I must take my leave first.”

Elder Tianji coughed twice and, with a twirl of his figure, disappeared into the void.

Li Xiaobai was silent and speechless, the old fellow had no sense of honor in martial arts.

Turning around, he flipped his wrist, took out his Lamborghini, and started driving toward the direction of the battlefield. With the arrival of the big shots imminent, he needed to get there early to find a comfortable spot to leech Attribute Points.

It was at this moment that golden light burst forth in the void of the first battlefield, an ancient wild aura raging. Within the clouds, one could vaguely see a gigantic rod standing erect, a golden monkey head crushing the void and directly entering the battlefield, suppressing everything.

The entire sky turned golden, divine light streaked across the heavens, as if piercing into the depths of one’s soul.

Li Xiaobai knew this scene all too well—it was the Sea-Calming Divine Needle!

His System Mall also contained such an item. Although the skill effects it unleashed were different, the one before his eyes was almost identical to the one in the System, down to the very same details, without any discrepancy.

Especially that tyrannical golden aura, unique to the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, which once seen, could never be forgotten in a lifetime.

It seemed that the Second Leader of the Aolai Country from the Eastern Sea had already arrived, entering the battlefield to stop the dispute.

Li Xiaobai sped up, rushing toward the battlefield.

At the same time.

In the first battlefield.

At this moment, everyone was prostrating on the ground, whether it was Mei Changqing and the others battling fiercely in the void, or the old beggar who just subdued Mei Changqing—all were dragged to the ground at the same time, unable to move.

Wang Guan and Cangying were baffled, they had been in a close fight with Mei Changqing and his three companions. They did not expect that a golden rod would suddenly intrude from the void, and in an instant, they were forcefully suppressed.

However, when they saw who had come, a chill swept over them instantly.

“It’s her!”

“She’s come!”

They screamed frantically in their hearts, yet dared not show their emotions on their faces.

They had not expected that even such a being would hear the news and rush over. With her here, the turmoil at the border could be ended ahead of time.

“Who is sneak attacking the old beggar!”

“If you have the guts, battle the old beggar for three hundred rounds!”

The old beggar and Song Que were firmly pressed to the ground, they had not seen the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, nor had they seen the newcomer’s face clearly, seeing only a flash of golden light before being suppressed.

The old beggar was both shocked and angry. The effect of some treasure in his body had not worn off; he could still use his cultivation level, but even so, he could not break free from the restraints.

He was certain that the one who had come was a powerhouse on the same level as him, with a body full of Immortal Spirit Qi, which they could control freely.

“Indeed, attacking from behind is not the act of a gentleman. If we were to face each other in battle, I would admit defeat and leave if I were inferior. But you resort to deceit and sneak attacks, I refuse to accept this!”

Song Que also spoke, annoyed that he had been outplayed and shifted from being the opportunist to the victim.

“Rustle, rustle!”

The sound of footsteps rose as a pair of boots, adorned with golden threads, appeared in front of the old beggar and Song Que.

“Damn, rich people, boots with golden edging. Which wealthy patron is this? If you leave these boots behind, the old beggar might spare your life. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe!”

The old beggar cackled, his eyes red with greed. Just the boots alone were laced with gold and silver—how wealthy must this person be?

However, the style and design of these boots seemed familiar. Where had he seen them before?

“Oh? This lady is very curious to know what kind of consequences those would be?”

A cool voice drifted over.

The figure before them slowly squatted down, revealing a section of delicate, fair skin above the golden boots, subtly visible. A golden armor and skirt constrained the body, sketching out curves that captivated the soul.

A face so immaculate it was flawless appeared before the two men.

She was a woman of such breathtaking beauty that there was no one on the Mainland who wouldn’t recognize her. At that moment, she was looking at them with a smile on her face and her hands propping up her cheeks.

Her beauty was different from that of Ling Xue’er. Ling Xue’er’s was a distant, icy beauty, unapproachable. Whereas the beauty of the woman before them was infused with audacity and confidence, a wild beauty.

The most crucial point was, they were all too familiar with that face!

This was a woman whose face screamed invincibility!

In just an instant, both men felt their hair stand on end in shock.

“Vice Leader!”

Song Que felt cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Recalling his earlier brash words, he felt his Primordial Spirit tremble with fear. Had he actually harbored the thought of facing off alone against such a terrifying being?

Although Song Que often considered himself invincible, he knew who he was up against. On the borderlands, where no one possessed Immortal Spirit Qi, he could indeed cut through his enemies with ease, but compared to the ultimate warriors of the Immortal Spirit Continent, he was relegated to the second tier.

There was no helping it. The other’s cultivation level, not to mention age, far surpassed his own.

“Hehehe, the old beggar thought it was someone else. Turns out it’s the Vice Leader herself. My respects,”

The old beggar’s eyes flickered with astonishment, and he immediately switched to a sycophantic tone. However, inside, he was somewhat inclined to beat a retreat. It was none other than the Second Leader of the Aolai Country, one of the true supreme masters of the Mainland, who once was on par with him.

Though he had also been invincible at one time, facing the Vice Leader now only meant being utterly crushed.

The treasure could only help him mobilize some of his cultivation, not fully control the power within his body. There was no way he could be the opponent’s match.

“Do you recognize me?”

A captivating smile drew across the exquisite face, still speaking in an unhurried manner.

“Hehe, of course, of course. We could be considered old acquaintances by now, no need to be so oppressive, right?”

The old beggar also responded with a grin.

“Indeed, since you recognize me, there’s no need for you to lie down. Kneel and greet your granny,”

The woman stood up, the smile on her face gone, and casually waved her hand; the old beggar’s body uncontrollably began to float, shifting from a crawling to a kneeling position.

In the void, a golden cudgel slowly rotated, increasing the pressure applied to the old beggar. His knees sunk into the ground, forming two large pits.

“Ah, this…”

The old beggar’s face turned bitter as he recalled some unpleasant memories. Back when he could control his own cultivation level, he seemed to have treated those from the Eastern Sea the same way.

He hadn’t expected this woman to hold such a grudge.

When his cultivation level was restored, he would definitely make her pay!
