I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 699: 700: What harm could a half-balded man do?

Chapter 699 -700: What harm could a half-balded man do?

“Heh heh heh, how about that, can you keep up with this great one’s speed?”

“With movements as fast as shooting stars, can you even see the afterimage of this great one?”

“Hit me, come on, this great one is itching for a beating, begging for death!”

In his shameless acts, ‘Poor’ didn’t feel the slightest bit of embarrassment. Instead, he took great pleasure in it, constantly provoking and employing an endless barrage of harassing tactics, tossing mud balls all over the place, utterly enjoying himself.

Watching the continuously fluctuating numbers on the Attribute Points panel before him, Li Xiaobai was quite speechless. His actions were fierce like a tiger’s, but his intelligence seemed lacking. And yet, this guy’s skin was so thick that he didn’t know shame; Li had never seen anyone so shameless.

“Hehe, kid, although I’m a master of the Fire Qilin Cave, I was born with a unique constitution and didn’t cultivate any fire attribute Cultivation Techniques. Instead, I have an extraordinary affinity with the earth, allowing me to travel freely within this mud.”

“Moreover, the earth is the sturdiest armor. Even if your tactics are vicious and sneaky, your offensive power is ultimately limited. But the earth is boundless. It is the world’s sturdiest shield. The moment you stepped into the third layer, your defeat at my hands was sealed!”

‘Poor’ continued to rant, preparing for an endurance battle, intending to wear down his opponent slowly.

Every prisoner who entered had taken a Binding Pill, making it difficult to mobilize the Spiritual Power in their Dantian. Coupled with the terrifying pressure on the third layer, they were left to rely solely on their Physical Strength, which couldn’t support a prolonged high-intensity battle.

Even Li Xiaobai, whose body was uncommonly durable, wasn’t excluded from this.

But he didn’t need to worry about this thanks to his special constitution. Being born with the ability to travel freely underground, he could manipulate the mud at will, significantly reducing his consumption. He believed that by persisting day after day, he would surely exhaust his foe and seize the treasures on them!

“Hehe, what we have plenty of in the Celestial Prison is time. I’ll be very patient in playing with you!”

“But rest assured, I won’t kill you. Given my esteemed status, I need a servant of some worth by my side. From now on, you can be my little brother!”

‘Poor’ said indifferently, still decreeing Li Xiaobai’s fate.

“Brother, it seems you haven’t grasped the situation. It’s not about whether you can spare me, but whether or not I will spare you!”

Li Xiaobai shook his head, once again raised the longsword high, and without even looking, swung it down. This time, there was no alarming Sword Intent or eerie black aura, appearing as though it was just a light swing of the sword.

Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch, launch!

“Pretty arrogant, kid. You talk big, but do you think you can hit me? I’m as elusive as the wind now!” ƒгeewёbnovel.com

“Wait, hold on!”

“What kind of move is this!”

“You’re playing dirty!”

Underground, ‘Poor’ continued to spout threats arrogantly. In his view, an attack like Sword Intent, no matter how sharp, couldn’t even touch a hair on his head. He could easily dodge it or even soften the surrounding soil to change the direction of the incoming Sword Qi.

But the next second, he felt something was wrong. The anticipated Sword Qi didn’t materialize; instead, his body involuntarily burrowed out from the Underground World, his knees weakened, his hands raised high, charging toward Li Xiaobai, and voluntarily caught the utterly ordinary longsword.

At the same time, the strands of Spiritual Power that started to flow in his Dantian fell silent as still as dead water, and the Cultivation Techniques around him melted away like ice and snow, leaving nothing behind.

“I, what the fuck…”

“What kind of Divine Skill is this, why am I kneeling on the ground, my body isn’t under my control!”

“Kid, what Sorcery did you use!”

‘Poor’ widened his eyes, filled with confusion, unable to grasp the situation.

His hit-and-run tactics were working just fine when suddenly his body ran out and knelt before somebody else; who could withstand that?

The crucial point was that he felt completely cut off from the Spiritual Power in his Dantian, having lost contact, and combined with being utterly unable to move, this feeling of being suppressed in every aspect made his heart flutter with a slight panic.

Since he started, no one had ever managed to do this, not even the Old Dragon King, who had captured him and hadn’t been able to silence the Spiritual Power in his Dantian like casting a stone into the ocean.

Just who was this unassuming young man in front of him, and what was his cultivation level?

“This is called swordplay, my technique of controlling people with the sword, does it catch the Dharma Eye of my brother?”

Li Xiaobai looked down at the sleazy middle-aged man prostrate at his feet, feeling a chill in his heart; the half-bald appearance covered with mud was somewhat nauseating to look at.

“Heh heh, your move is indeed exquisite, with hidden Sorcery that even I cannot see through, but don’t get too cocky. The moment you struck with your sword, I had already activated my Bloodline Power, mingling with the energy of the earth. My physical body is still incredibly hard, so even your vile Sword Intent won’t be able to break through directly!”

‘Poor’ said viciously.

Li Xiaobai scrutinized his opponent carefully. Beneath the flowing mud, there were thick earthy-yellow scales, emitting a faint orange glow, robust in feel and even exuding a sense of ancient history.

“Heh heh, and if I’m not mistaken, the Spiritual Power you can mobilize within your body is almost depleted, isn’t it? After such intense consumption, even with your extraordinary talents, you can’t endlessly manifest Sword Intent. One more sword strike, and you should be out of moves!”

‘Poor’ spoke with certainty, his analysis seemingly logical and structured, which, aside from being completely wrong, was quite impressive.

“So you were waiting for this? Just say it earlier, and here I thought you had some sort of ace up your sleeve.”

Li Xiaobai chuckled lightly and took out another Longsword with his other hand, directing a series of black Sword Qi at ‘Poor”s feet. The ground was churned up, stones tumbled, and the surface was blasted open into numerous black pits. The Demon Sealing Sword Evocation gushed out like a string of firecrackers, spewing forth for several minutes.

‘Poor’ was completely dumbfounded, and during this time, he had even seen the opponent treating the Longsword that was incessantly spitting out Sword Qi as fireworks, tracing various patterns in front of him, thoroughly enjoying himself.

After a while, the creepy black Sword Qi disappeared, and Li Xiaobai sheathed his sword and looked at ‘Poor’ again, smilingly asking, “Now, brother, what do you have to say?”

“Hahaha, brother, I was just joking with you. All under heaven are brothers; life is a drama, and so is life. Why take it so seriously?”

‘Poor’ forced a smile, instantly changing his expression. At that moment, his heart was frantic, clearly visible by the beads of sweat sliding down his forehead. The power of his opponent far exceeded his imagination. This was a true monster.

“What about beyond the four seas?” Li Xiaobai asked with interest.

“Turmoil in the five continents is best settled peacefully!”

‘Poor’ said earnestly, “What ill intentions could a half-balded man have, I merely wanted to jest with my brother!”
