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

Chapter 1067: Chapter 1068: Knocking a Saint Realm Divine Soul Dead
 

“I’m fucking losing my mind!”

“Young Master, it wasn’t me!”

“It was that kid who threw you all out; I simply wasn’t paying attention and couldn’t react in time, which led to this disaster!”

“I can’t be blamed for this!”

Elder Chen’s face was hideous and twisted; he had actually killed two heirs of the sect with his own hands. His crime was enormous.

“Kid, you’re nefarious, using the two heirs as human shields. Shameless!”

“Even if it means my death today, I will drag you down with me. A menace like you must no longer be allowed to live!”

Elder Chen’s roar was accompanied by flying hair, gone was the composure and calm he had exhibited upon their first meeting.

“Elder Chen, I never thought you were this kind of person. I was wrong about you. As an elder of the Icy Frost Sect, not only did you kill my two elder brothers, but now you even want to kill me. Your intentions are insidious! As a young master of the Icy Frost Sect, I will not bend. If you dare, come and cut me down!”

Li Xiaobai’s face changed instantly, his eyes flashing with fear, and he put on an expression of deep-seated hatred.

With the aid of the Human Skin Mask, his expressions and reactions were indistinguishable from real, even more convincing than an old beggar’s acting skills.

With a single thought, he quietly ordered Godzilla to sink to the sea floor and hide, the two young masters had been slain, and that strand of the Sect Leader’s Divine Soul implanted in their minds should manifest now. He could use this chance to frame Elder Chen with all the blame, instigating a dog-eat-dog scenario within the Icy Frost Sect.

“Kid, it’s just us here, who are you pretending for, damn it, who are you performing to?”

Elder Chen’s brows furrowed slightly, and he sternly reprimanded, the immense shock of the past ten minutes overwhelming him. He had not yet sorted out his thoughts and failed to realize the impending storm.

But the next second, he understood why the young man had suddenly started acting.

“Who killed my sons!”

A feather-light voice drifted from above the sea’s surface, gentle yet filled with endless rage.

Elder Chen’s hair stood on end; he was all too familiar with that voice—it was the Sect Leader of the Icy Frost Sect!

Damn it, he had forgotten about that strand of the Sect Leader’s Divine Soul in his own sons’ minds. He had been too quick and forceful in his attack, directly piercing the throats of Han Buxia and Han Dezhu, causing a slight delay in the Divine Soul’s emergence. Those few seconds’ delay had allowed the Sect Leader to hear everything he had said, crystal clear.

“Father, it was this old thing who killed my elder brothers, and now he intends to kill me too. Please take action, Father, and rid us of this traitor to the sect!”

Li Xiaobai cried out loudly.

A ghostly figure floated above the distant sea, the Sect Leader of the Icy Frost Sect, radiating Frost Qi, eyes fierce, staring intently at Elder Chen. He knew it was the other party’s doing; the scene of his sons’ murder had been reflected back to his mind.

It was this Elder Chen, whom he trusted so much within the sect, who had personally pierced the throats of the two heirs.

“Sect Leader, I have always been selfless, without a trace of personal agenda. Everything that happened was orchestrated by the Third Young Master. He pretended to be weak and hid his true power and cultivation level, not only did he consecutively kill Buxia and Dezhu, but he also wanted to silence me. Such malice should be punished!”

“I hope you can discern the truth, Sect Leader!”

Elder Chen turned and knelt down with a thump, his voice trembling as he spoke. This was the Divine Soul of a Saint Realm strong expert; once dissipated, it could relay everything it had witnessed back to the main body. If the Sect Leader concluded that he was the one who killed the two heirs, he would likely spend the rest of his life on the run, living a life of exile.

“Damn it!”

“Do you think I’m blind? Just now you killed the eldest and the second brother with our Sect’s Icy Frost technique, right before my own eyes, and then you tried to slay the third brother, which I heard with my own ears. Even now, you show no remorse, instead attempting to frame and deceive. Do you really think that a junior with only the power of the Heavenly Immortal Realm can kill you, a Half-Saint Strong Expert?”

“Elder Chen, you’ve been hiding within our Sect for so many years. I always thought you were loyal and devoted, but at this critical moment, you actually betrayed us, destroying the future hopes of the Icy Frost Sect. Tell us, which Sect or power is behind you? Who sent you here? Speak frankly, and you might be left with an intact corpse!”

The Sect Leader’s spectral form was somewhat blurry and ethereal, so his facial expression couldn’t be seen, but his tone alone made it clear that he was on the verge of rage, barely restraining his fury for the sake of extracting information.

“Sect Leader, you must believe me, this young man has serious issues—he has a Half-Saint Demonic Beast. It is really he who suppressed the two young masters!”

Elder Chen was somewhat incoherent. He didn’t know what to say. Ever since he met the third young master, he had been dancing to his tune, constantly under his control and now, in front of this Divine Soul of the Sect Leader, he had personally killed the eldest and second young masters.

He was beyond redemption, a criminal of the Icy Frost Sect.

“What a load of nonsense, Demonic Beasts? Where is it?”

“Since you refuse to confess truthfully, I won’t force you. Any last words can wait until my true body arrives!”

The Sect Leader’s Divine Soul said coldly, his single fist striking towards Elder Chen. Within the punch, one could vaguely see an iceberg emerging, freezing space itself to trap the elder firmly in mid-air.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be there soon!”

The Sect Leader’s spectral body became even more elusive, as he was just an energy body; using any of it meant having less, and once it was all used up, it would disappear. Now, he had to hurry back to the Icy Frost Sect to merge with his true body and relay the events here to the many high-ranking members of the Sect.

“Yes, father, be careful.”

Li Xiaobai nodded obediently. Suspended in mid-air, Elder Chen’s body was firmly trapped in ice, with only his eyeballs wildly darting about, betraying his panic and unease.

“With such a big incident, it’s bound to cause an uproar within the Sect!”

The Sect Leader’s Divine Soul muttered to himself, turning to head into the distance. However, in the brief moment he turned around, the sky suddenly darkened as a colossal gold-colored cudgel descended from the heavens, growing larger in his pupils.

The cudgel, wrapped in a sky-scalding golden fury, brutally smashed down.

“Shit, I knew you had an accomplice!”

“Which Sect or power stands behind you, to have such a formidable ally?”

The Divine Soul’s countenance changed drastically. The might of the cudgel seemed to faintly surpass that of the Half-Saint Realm. Before he could make out who the attacker was, the golden cudgel had already landed squarely on his head.

Having already used more than half his strength to freeze Elder Chen, he was now powerless to resist the raging onslaught of the cudgel.

With a squelch, the golden cudgel struck true, pulverizing the Sect Leader’s Divine Soul without any hesitation, scattering it into ethereal smoke that dissipated above the ocean.

“Roar!”

From beneath the sea, a massive steel-like figure burst forth, raising gigantic waves. Godzilla, with the Sea-Calming Divine Needle on its shoulder, lumbered from the distance. This resounding blow was incredibly accurate, directly obliterating the fragment of a Saint Realm strong expert’s Divine Soul.

Pity the Divine Soul has no Dantian to hide treasures; even dispersing it yielded nothing.

Li Xiaobai pointed to Elder Chen enclosed in the block of ice and said indifferently, “And this one, knock him out too!”
