I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1129 - 1130 Whatever Han Buzhu gives you Ill
Chapter 1129: Chapter 1130 Whatever Han Buzhu gives you, I’ll double it
Chapter 1129: Chapter 1130 Whatever Han Buzhu gives you, I’ll double it
“Freeze!”
On the stone pillar, the Great Elder casually pointed into the void and immediately immobilized Su Yunbing. Li Xiaobai took out a Huazi without a word, stuffed it into the other’s mouth, lit it, and after a bout of blowing smoke rings, Su Yunbing instantly regained consciousness.
“Fuck!”
“I was hypnotized, who won?”
Su Yunbing glared with wide eyes, a flash of murderous intent crossing her face as she asked fiercely.
“Cough cough, senior sister, you won. The fourth junior brother was almost crippled by you.”
Li Xiaobai pointed at the city that the other was holding high, speaking with some embarrassment.
“Huh?”
Su Yunbing blinked, looking down at Yang Chen who was being treated by Ye Wushuang, a thoughtful look crossing her eyes, “I see. Fourth junior brother, you must be dissatisfied that I let you off easy, so you wanted to hypnotize me to see senior sister’s true strength, right?”
“Not to criticize you, senior sister, but you’re just too greedy. Even letting off easily, beating you would just take one hit, and you still want me to give my all? Ridiculous.”
“Senior sister’s lesson is well-taken!”
Beneath, Yang Chen’s face was pale. He could only nod and say, as his senior sister was too fierce. The illusionary spells recorded in “Carefree Tour” had no effect on her at all; who could have thought that someone in this world could fight back while unconscious? The “Dream Butterfly Technique” was more terrifying when ineffective than effective.
Without a doubt, he would never fight his senior sister again.
“Fourth junior brother, you said earlier that I was out of your league? Why are you deflating now?”
Lin Yin looked at Yang Chen with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
Yang Chen was very uncomfortable: “I’m sorry, third senior brother, I spoke arrogantly earlier.”
The surrounding cultivators involuntarily widened their eyes; they could have imagined Yang Chen wouldn’t stand a chance against Su Yunbing, but they hadn’t anticipated that the boss of Hundred Flowers Sect would be so dominant that she could kill her opponent even while asleep. Such combat instincts were beyond their imaginations.
On the stage, Su Yunbing won this round.
Li Xiaobai stood on the stage; it was his turn next. He scanned the surroundings and caught sight of Wu Chengjue in the corner. Their eyes met, and it seemed they both read something in each other’s gaze.
“Who’s next? Don’t keep me waiting, my blade is itching for a fight!”
Li Xiaobai said indifferently.
Below.
“Immortal Wu, it’s up to you now. This kid isn’t much, you should be able to take him down easily!” Long Aotian whispered eagerly.
Wu Chengjue rose, her expression calm: “I’ll consider it.”
Long Aotian was somewhat stunned. What did she mean by ‘consider it’?
Hadn’t she already agreed? Had she not already verified the manual?
If she had to consider it, why had she accepted in the first place?
Was she only starting to consider it now?
Suddenly, Long Aotian felt that Wu Chengjue might also be a bit unreliable.
On the stage, Wu Chengjue stood opposite Li Xiaobai, the atmosphere becoming somewhat tense.
Below, the cultivators were also getting nervous; the semi-finals were nearly over, and they were uncertain who to bet on. It felt like no one had truly gone all out from the start of the tournament to now. How come this martial arts tournament for marriage seemed so bizarre?
“Who should we bet on?”
“I don’t know, some people distrusted Ol’Fatty, now he’s angry and won’t give insider info!”
“Damn it, I personally feel that Wu Chengjue is a step ahead in skill. Although Han Buzhu instantly killed Huyan Chui and displayed equal dominance, compared to a master like Wu Chengjue, he’s just not in the same league.”
“Do we even need to ask? Bet on Wu Chengjue, I’m betting one million top-quality Immortal Stones!”
“An existence that can instant-kill the prodigy of Golden Blade Sect is definitely the strongest talent of our times. How could Han Buzhu be a match for her?”
“I’m also betting on Wu Chengjue, this seems like a sure win, it’s a golden opportunity!”
The onlooking crowd was buzzing with excitement, all placing their bets on Wu Chengjue to win. Wu Chengjue was the deputy helmsman of the Eastern Continent’s Enforcement Team and had no ties with the Villian’s Guild. She also had no connection with Han Buzhu from the Southern Continent’s remote coastal regions, so there was no reason for her to play around like Ye Wushuang and purposely lose.
They trusted their instincts this round.
Liu Jinshui smiled without saying a word, gleefully collecting Space Rings as usual, then meticulously noted down each person’s bets, feeling slightly anxious. Wu Chengjue was overwhelmingly strong. His junior brother had to hold on because if he didn’t, they would miss out on a big deal for nothing.
On the stage, Li Xiaobai cupped his fists and bowed: “Senior Wu.”
Wu Chengjue nodded slightly: “Begin?”
“What’s your approach, senior?” Li Xiaobai asked tentatively.
“Let’s play some Tai Chi,” Wu Chengjue said lazily, raising a hand slowly.
“I’m familiar with that!”
Li Xiaobai smiled lightly, taking two steps forward, gently placing his hands on the other’s wrist, shifting his feet and drawing circles, the two began to spin.
There were no flashy special effects, no formidable Immortal Yuan Power, no terrifying momentum—just two people holding hands, turning circles on the stage, leaving onlookers somewhat baffled.
What are they doing?
Spinning around?
Or was this some kind of secret move with hidden lethality they couldn’t see?
“Senior Wu, what’s going on with Sword Sect, something happened in the Eastern Continent?”
Li Xiaobai asked softly while making use of the spinning.
“Still investigating, the Enforcement Team doesn’t have any leads yet. Apparently, a child from Sword Sect was taken away by an unknown cultivator, seems the name was Ma Niubi?” Wu Chengjue said thoughtfully.
“The Helmsman is already looking into it, we should have results soon.”
Sheesh!
A kid had been taken away!
Shock flashed in Li Xiaobai’s heart; whoever came was quite astute to take away the child ruler directly—even he was not yet clear about the peculiarities of the child. As the saying goes, wealth should not be flaunted, and the child’s uniqueness inviting malevolent intent was not surprising.
Someone must be assisting from the shadows to dupe everyone under Ying Diao’s watch.
“Thank you for the information, Senior Wu. I’m grateful for the help from the Eastern Continent’s Enforcement Team.”
Li Xiaobai nodded seriously, knowing that just relying on Sword Sect’s power was clearly not enough to unearth the real culprit, as only Sect Master Ying Diao was strong enough to represent the sect. The counterfeiter posing as Xiao Lao Di was used to throwing his weight around but ultimately wasn’t that strong.
With Beichen Feng in the Enforcement Team, using his energy to find the real culprit wouldn’t be difficult; Li Xiaobai assumed that by the time he got back to the Eastern Continent, he’d have some results.
Wu Chengjue nodded: “Hmm, come to the Enforcement Team later, the Helmsman wants to see you.”
Li Xiaobai asked, “For today’s round, how do you plan to fight, senior?”
“For the first round, Long Aotian got me to beat Liu Jinshui by offering a Thousand Year Welcoming Cold Immortal Plant that was five thousand years old. Just now, he offered a cold-attribute cultivation technique in exchange for me to beat you.”
“You’re a member of the Enforcement Team of the Eastern Continent, and for both official and personal reasons, I don’t want you to get hurt, but the terms they offered were just too tempting,” Wu Chengjue said with an underlying meaning.
“Got it, one pack of Huazi.”
Li Xiaobai instantly understood what the other was implying and immediately spoke up.
“Huazi is rather miraculous. Our Helmsman is also quite fond of it…”
“Understood, two packs of Huazi!”
Li Xiaobai replied.
“All set, how do you want to win? A one-hit kill or a fierce battle?”
Wu Chengjue asked.
Li Xiaobai thought for a moment and said, “I want to win with some dignity.”
Ye Wushuang’s poor acting made him feel somewhat embarrassed; faced with so many powerful cultivators staring at him, even his thick skin felt somewhat heated.
“No problem, I’m familiar with this business.”
The two of them started performing a two-person act on the stage, leaving the surrounding audience completely perplexed. Couldn’t they decipher the duo’s set routine on stage? Were they supposed to determine a winner by spinning around in circles like that?
“What’s going on, are they still fighting?”
“What are they even fighting with?”
“I know this spinning move very well, I can do it too!”
The audience was a bit mystified. At first, they thought the two were engaging in some kind of covert probing which they had not yet grasped the essence of, but as time went on, they realized these two were actually striking up a conversation.
But just as the crowd’s voices fell, the woman in the ornate skirt on the platform suddenly swayed and fell to the ground.
“What profound cultivation techniques!”
“What robust Immortal Yuan Power!”
“Never expected the Icy Frost Sect to produce such a prodigy, it was my oversight!”
“You win this round. I am wholeheartedly convinced. Meeting a talent like Young Master Han is worth the trip, I am entirely satisfied!”
Wu Chengjue’s face turned deathly pale as he fell to the ground, looking very uncomfortable. He rolled around the platform with his oil-paper umbrella to the edge of the stage and stopped moving.
“I’ll be damned…”
Li Xiaobai’s face turned menacingly dark. What happened to winning with a little face?
“Senior, what about the dignity we talked about? Losing like this makes me look really bad!”
Li Xiaobai didn’t know what to say and whispered to Wu Chengjue’s “corpse.”
“Don’t worry, you’ve won with plenty of dignity. My acting was spot on. Just now, I’ve analyzed this contest’s psychological journey from three angles, four methods, and eight layers. It may seem monotonous on the surface, but the tortuous journey of fate is quite complex and thrilling,” Wu Chengjue slightly opened one eye and rapidly blinked twice as he quickly responded.
“Is this…”
“Didn’t I just see this scene? Have I lost my memory?”
The cultivators in the four spectator stands plunged into silence once again. The bizarre clarity before them… where had they seen it before?
It seems that the previous match between Ye Wushuang and Han Buzhu had the same scenario, except this match appeared to be even more rash. At least Ye Wushuang had performed the Five Poisons Palm; Wu Chengjue was different, not even bothering with his cultivation level, too lazy to put on a show, simply holding the other’s hand and spinning a few rounds before collapsing, what was he trying to do?
“Can we have a little professionalism in the fake match, please?”
“At least put out some more Frost Qi!”
Just now, they had solemnly wagered on Wu Chengjue with the hope of making a big score. They never expected that this ice queen would also engage in a fixed match, causing the massive amount of top-quality Immortal Stones they invested to be for naught.
“Damn!”
“Another freaking fixed match!”
“How much did Han Buzhu pay you? I’ll double it!”
“Come on, let’s get him!”
Cultivators glared furiously, boiling with rage. They bore deep animosity toward Li Xiaobai. The guy had fixed two consecutive matches, causing them significant losses. If he dared to leave the island, they would surely gang up on him.
“Cough cough, gentlemen, you are not aware. Just now, I already exchanged moves with the Third Young Master of the Han Family. What we discussed was the natural Dao of Yin and Yang, the Tai Chi of heaven and earth. We deliberated on the Dao amidst the perilous switch of major forces. It was utterly dangerous. If not for my extensive and profound experiences, I might have already perished on the spot.”
“Practicing can be risky; discussing the Dao must be done with caution!”
On the ground, Wu Chengjue twitched a couple of times, seemingly trying to struggle to his feet, and spoke weakly.
Hearing this, Li Xiaobai nodded earnestly and said, “Indeed, everyone must take this as a warning. It’s fine to exchange moves in a match, but discussing the Dao is far too dangerous. One careless move, and you could be doomed.”
“It’s okay if you don’t understand. I don’t blame you. After all, the joy of being a genius is something you can’t imagine!”
Li Xiaobai said cheerfully. Given the situation, he had accepted the outcome. After all, he had resolved the fight without shedding blood, and the only cost was two packs of Huazi. Why not be happy about that? Besides, it seemed that Wu Chengjue had many supporters, so his Sixth Senior Brother must have made a killing.
“Bastard, absolutely shameless!”
“Two fixed matches—do you know how heartbroken we are? Ye Wushuang, Wu Chengjue, do you deserve our support?”
“A pack of nonsense, perceiving the nature of heaven and earth, discussing the Dao of Yin and Yang? Pure gibberish!”
The cultivators were livid. They felt like they were being taken for fools, watching two people spin in circles and call it understanding the Dao of Yin and Yang. This was intolerable.

“The world laughs at me for being crazy; I laugh at the world for not seeing through me. It doesn’t matter. Even if I am pointed at by thousands and despised by everyone, even if I bear eternal infamy, today, I, Han Buzhu, still want to say that everyone here is garbage. I am invincible, do as you wish!”
Li Xiaobai said indifferently, “This match, I defeated Wu Chengjue in a second. Facts speak louder than words. There’s a record and evidence. Any objections?”
“Alright, since both parties have no objections, the victory goes to Li Xiaobai!”
“Su Yunbing, Han Buzhu, Long Aotian, you three will enter the final competition. Get ready to embrace the new rules!”
The Great Elder, from his position on the stone pillar, spoke indifferently, his eyes looking quite sinister.
His plan had failed. Wu Chengjue had suddenly switched sides at the last moment, aiding Li Xiaobai. Now, his disciple’s advantage had once again turned into a disadvantage.
“Yes!”
Li Xiaobai nodded in response. Once the judgment was passed, Wu Chengjue on the side stood up in a second, as if nothing had happened, and elegantly landed, moving to a shady corner to sit cross-legged. His face, previously pale and pained, now showed no signs of distress, to the shock of all the cultivators watching.
Good lord, not even a bit of acting!
Shouldn’t you put on a full performance to be professional? Not doing so made the audience look stupid!
Long Aotian was about to explode with anger. The Great Elder had cursed him out through voice transmission just now. He now knew that Wu Chengjue must have memorized the content of the books he had casually flipped through back then, having the control over the situation, and thus would no longer help him.
Damn it, this treacherous woman, one day I’ll deal with you!
Due to this event, several streams of light fell once more from the stone pillars, landing in the hands of the remaining three. These were three little tokens, not numbered anymore, but bearing a set of completely new rules, clearly prepared by the Great Elder in advance.
“New rules, just what I wanted!”
Li Xiaobai looked at the token in his hand and unconsciously smiled.
On the other side, Long Aotian, employing the same old trick, approached Su Yunbing again, saying with a smile, “Immortal Su, shall we collaborate once more?”
