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

Chapter 633 -634: Are You Blind?

At this very moment, Li Xiaobai was rushing to the next convicted felon’s residence without a moment’s delay.

The speed of the Lamborghini reached its extreme, like a streak of blue lightning flashing through the dungeon.

This time, Li Xiaobai was even more direct. He didn’t bother knocking; instead, he drew his longsword and slashed through the air, shattering the stone door in an instant. A figure emerged from the dust, face full of panic.

Dressed in the same red prison uniform, with delicate facial features, this was a young man who had the air of a scholar.

He had been cultivating in his cave dwelling when suddenly, his body involuntarily burst through the door and knelt before the feet of the unfamiliar cultivator outside, totally confused, he had no idea what had happened.

“What’s going on?”

“Who are you, and why do you humiliate me thus?”

“I have never met you before, and it seems we have no grudges or grievances, so why are you troubling me?”

On the ground, the scholarly-looking cultivator’s eyes were full of terror as he tried to summon the Spiritual Power from within his Dantian to break free, only to be shocked to find that he could not sense any trace of Spiritual Energy, not even the existence of his Dantian.

It was as if that power, which was as natural as breathing, no longer belonged to him.

What kind of technique was this? What kind of cultivation level?

He knew all the notable figures in the dungeon, and even the strongest among them, Long Tian, couldn’t possibly do this. Although the cultivators in the dungeon had taken the Binding Pill and their strength was greatly diminished, they were not so easily defeated by any ordinary person.

A one-hit defeat of a Great Crossing Realm level four expert? Perhaps not even the prison warden had that ability, right?

He couldn’t fathom who the newcomer was or why they had come.

“My name is Li Xiaobai, a royal relative from the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea. I’ve come today because there is a task that requires your assistance.”

Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently, his words growing ever smoother.

“Royal relative!”

“May I ask, Sir Li, which bloodline do you hail from?”

The scholarly young man’s heart trembled, and he continued to inquire. The weight of the words ‘royal relative’ was heavier than mountains.

“The Old Dragon King personally escorted me here. Tell me, which line should I be from?”

Li Xiaobai asked with an almost-mocking smile.

“You… you are a member of the royal family, a direct descendant!”

“And with such cultivation level, could it be that you are a reclusive elder from the royal family?”

The more the scholarly young man thought, the more fearful he became. He considered it quite possible that some elder had been in seclusion for decades, and upon reemerging found that everything had changed, reflecting the idiom: “the seas had turned to mulberry fields.” It wasn’t unheard of for a heart discontented with such changes to act out in anger and commit taboo actions, which is why he may have been personally escorted to the dungeon by the Old Dragon King, as a form of reprimand.

“As long as you understand, keep your voice down. I’m quite the low-profile person, never ostentatious. I’m here today to ask for your help,” Li Xiaobai said calmly.

“Sir, please command me. The junior, Liu Shuhuai, will comply with your directives!” the scholarly young man quickly said, emphasizing his name once more. Like the older man before him, he believed that the person in front of him was not only immensely powerful but also so well-connected that he could potentially help secure their freedom.

Seeing a rare opportunity for liberation, he naturally would not let it slip away.

“Have your subordinates collect all the Luminous Pearls from their respective cave dwellings and hand them over. Someone will come to collect them later. Do you understand?” Li Xiaobai spoke slowly.

“Understood. Rest assured, Sir. I will begin to prepare immediately!” Liu Shuhuai said resolutely, with no question or hesitation, and readily agreed.

He was very clear in his mind that a senior with such strength and background was an extraordinary being, and moving the Luminous Pearls, which served as restraints, was completely useless to him.

“Hmm, very good, thank you for your efforts.”

Li Xiaobai nodded, quite satisfied with the other party’s attitude, without any hesitation.

The strength of the Old Dragon King had given him a sense of crisis, and he was now seizing every moment to enhance his strength, without any delay.

He had to burn all the Luminous Pearls in the entire dungeon as soon as possible and find the ten Blood Sacrifice Fragments.

With a casual gesture, the Lamborghini touched down, and then, in the horrified eyes of Liu Shuhuai, it turned into a blue phantom and disappeared without a trace.

“Lord Li is truly divine!”

“Someone, send the order down, all cultivators are to surrender any Luminous Pearls they find in their caves. No one is allowed to conceal them; violators will be beheaded!”

…

Liu Shuhuai actively responded to Li Xiaobai’s call, but he did not know that at this very moment, inside the main hall of the Sea Dragon Palace, hundreds of eyes were watching him.

“Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!”

“This Li Xiaobai has now recruited another Great Crossing Realm Expert to serve him, what on earth does he want to do?”

“And his mount is so fast; even the vast dungeon space can’t keep him occupied for long. If this continues, it’s possible that all the Luminous Pearls in the entire dungeon will be taken away by him!”

“This man deserves death and cannot be spared!”

“Indeed, he must be executed!”

The Tortoise Prime Minister and other civil officials exclaimed in unison.

If earlier it was because Li Xiaobai had hindered the grandson of the Tortoise Prime Minister that everyone targeted him, now their anger was fully sparked by his actions.

This skill of riding on the tiger’s back and flying flags was getting more and more skilled; talking about royalty and nobles with every breath, where does it leave the dignity of the royal family?

Do they still recognize the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea?

“Tortoise Prime Minister, as you have been watching this boy’s journey, could it be that you are only concerned about his style of conduct?”

Long Zhan glanced coldly at the group of civil officials and said indifferently. These bookworms were dull, seeing only the sesame seeds but blind to the watermelon, the Dragon Palace of the Eastern Sea might as well be ruined by these men.

“What do you mean by this, General Long?”

“This young man is audacious, using the name of the royal kin to deceive and bully others unscrupulously. Could it be that Old Tortoise has made a mistake in saying that he must be disciplined?”

The Tortoise Prime Minister said furiously.

“Exactly, could it be that General Long wants to favor that boy?”

“General Long, choose your words wisely!”

The rest of the civil officials sighed in relief and were quite smug, always believing their judgment was correct, that Li Xiaobai should be executed.

“Have you all gone blind?”

“This young man has consecutively killed Great Crossing Realm Experts in seconds; Liu Shuhuai himself was a powerful fourth-layer Great Crossing Realm Expert who could not even withstand a single strike. I ask among you, who has such ability?”

“Even I do not have the confidence to subdue the enemy unscathed with a single move.”

“Moreover, his mount is extraordinary. I have never seen such a species, its speed surpassing even that of the Sea Dragon.”

“This young man is full of mysteries, and his strength and cultivation level are to an unimaginably powerful extent. The Tortoise Prime Minister wishes to execute him, but I dare to ask, who shall be sent for the job?”

“Allow me to speak frankly, even if the Prime Minister himself were to go, he would only be defeated in an instant!”
