I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 1088 - 1089 Are You Mad
Chapter 1088: Chapter 1089: Are You Mad? Chapter 1088 -1089: Are You Mad? “Five hundred and forty million!”
Li Xiaobai’s breath became slightly hurried as he took the Space Ring from the messenger beside him, glanced at it and his heart raced. My goodness, it was completely filled with Immortal Stones; this transaction had earned him a clear five hundred million.
Adding the eight hundred million he already had, that amounted to a total of thirteen hundred million. Now, even if he threw out a Semi-Saint Godzilla, he would still have three hundred million remaining. Facing those tycoons, he no longer needed to be overly cautious, as his confidence was much stronger.
“Thank you.”
Li Xiaobai nodded, pocketing the Space Ring.
“How can I take credit for that? Without your help, Young Master Han, this auction might have ended uneventfully. It wouldn’t have attracted so many guests. After today, the fame of the Ancient Dragon Pavilion will spread throughout Ice Dragon Island again, all thanks to you.”
Zong Guolong said cheerfully.
Li Xiaobai replied, “It was nothing, I hope we have more opportunities to cooperate in the future.”
“This is natural,” Zong Guolong replied, “The doors of the Ancient Dragon Pavilion will always be open to you, Young Master Han.”
…
After tidying up, Li Xiaobai bid farewell to the brothers of the Zong Family and left the Ancient Dragon Pavilion.
He was startled as soon as he stepped out—two groups of people were standing on the street right outside the pavilion, not daring to cross the threshold. Their faces bore somber expressions as if waiting for someone’s arrival.
Among them were some young people, including Bei Dao, who had recently had a confrontation with Li Xiaobai. Seeing Li Xiaobai, their eyes suddenly brightened, and they quickly pointed him out to the senior members of their family beside them.
“Are they looking for trouble?”
Li Xiaobai found it odd. Knowing his identity as the owner of the Ancient Dragon Order, these youngsters had the audacity to come confront him; this was quite unexpected.
He surveyed the crowd; to his left were cultivators from Ice Dragon Island, and to his right, members of the Huo Family. He did not see Huo Yuhao and others; Uncle Huo was currently inside the auction site settling accounts with the Immortal Stones and had not yet come out. It seemed that Uncle Huo’s position in the family was not very solid, unable to even control his subordinates.
“Are you the Third Young Master of the Icy Frost Sect, Han Buzhu?”
A man with light blue long hair spoke condescendingly, in a tone neither warm nor severe.
“Correct, I am Han Buzhu. May I ask who this fellow cultivator is and what advice you have to offer?”
Li Xiaobai said with a light smile, his eyes shining with a sharp, cold gleam. Having just earned over five hundred million, he was in a great mood, but that didn’t mean he would let anyone looking for trouble get off easily.
“My name is Beishan, I am a fellow sect brother of Bei Feng and Bei Dao. You insulted our disciple first and even manipulated the Ancient Dragon Pavilion to ban the disciples from Ice Dragon Island from entering, which is indeed sinister. Today, I am here to seek justice for my fellow disciples. Hand over your Ancient Dragon Order, and I might spare your life; otherwise, I will leave you with no remains.”
Beishan spoke calmly, his words carrying strands of chilling Frost Qi that pierced into Li Xiaobai’s body.
[Attribute Points +100,000…]
[Attribute Points +100,000…]
[Attribute Points +100,000…]
The numbers on the System panel fluctuated, with damage continuously being inflicted. This young man with blue hair was very sinister, using underhanded tactics on this street where it was inconvenient to kill.
These tricks, however, were poorly executed. For someone else, it might have caused lingering illnesses that could damage their foundation, but for him, the damage was too low, barely scratching him with an attack of only 100,000 Attribute Points.
“Hehehe, so it’s the Ancient Dragon Order you’re after. This item is useless to you; it only serves as the Ancient Dragon Order in my hands, Han Buzhu. In your hands, it’s just an ordinary wooden plaque.”
“Young master advises you, on this Ice Dragon Island where young geniuses gather, it’s better to restrain your actions—don’t act tough. Acting tough can get you struck by lightning, and it might be deadly,” Li Xiaobai said with a chilling tone.
“Damn it, boy, it’s all because of you that my Huo Family was refused entry by the Ancient Dragon Pavilion today,” “do you realize how much loss my Huo Family has suffered?”
“How are you going to pay for this?”
A middle-aged man from the Huo Family said with a fierce and restrained expression.
His Huo Family had come to Ice Dragon Island hoping to make a fortune during this prosperous period, but instead, they were directly forbidden to enter, missing the auction and thereby suffering a great loss. The auction was reportedly unprecedented, with various treasures offered that even incited bidding wars among many powerful forces. It was easy to imagine that had the Huo Family been able to acquire one or two items, they would have surely prospered.
But now that was impossible, as the Ancient Dragon Pavilion had closed its doors to the Huo Family, all because of this Third Young Master of the Icy Frost Sect, a mere junior at the Heavenly Immortal Realm. How could they not be furious?
“Just a sizable sect’s lackey, and you really think too highly of yourself. On this island, there are countless geniuses who could slaughter you, and although you may be someone in the Icy Frost Sect, here, you are nothing!”
“Uncle Huo even said you were a noble person, it seems he’s also gotten old and blind at times!”

This middle-aged man from the Huo Family was furious, his face somewhat twisted as he glared viciously at Li Xiaobai. If it were only their family confronting Li Xiaobai, they might have hesitated, but now with the genius of Ice Dragon Island standing with them, they had nothing to fear.
At the same time, making this young man pay would please the geniuses of Ice Dragon Island, which could be seen as recouping some of their losses.
“Not convinced?”
“I have the Ancient Dragon Order, and if I say you can’t enter, then you can’t. Not just this auction, but from now on, you can forget about participating in any future ones as well. The Ancient Dragon Pavilion is off-limits to you for life!”
“Are you angry? I’m just asking if you’re angry?”
“If you’re not convinced, come and hit me?”
Li Xiaobai, with a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, waved the Ancient Dragon Order in front of everyone, sneeringly said.
This is Ice Dragon Island, where cultivators are forbidden from fighting privately, let alone committing murder on the streets. These people are just boasting, trying to be the ultimate king. If it really came to a fight, even given a hundred bouts of courage, they wouldn’t dare.
“Very well, I do admire you,” “I hope you can still be so tough on the arena platform!”
“You will die on that platform!”
The young man with pale blue long hair turned livid with anger; no one had ever dared to humiliate him like this before. He was considered a highly promising core disciple on Ice Dragon Island, and now he was even looked down upon by a nobody.
The anger flickered in his eyes. Today he had completely lost face, and he vowed to return it a hundredfold in the future.
“Is that it?”
“So you came here just to talk tough?”
“So the geniuses of Ice Dragon Island are all talk and no action, good to know.”
“Since the tough talk has been delivered, you all might as well disperse. I have other matters to attend to and shall leave first.”
Li Xiaobai laughed heartily and walked away, brushing off his sleeves. These people had the intent but not the courage, and dared not even uphold their pretense without a Semi-Saint to support them, fearing being beaten to death.
“He’s too arrogant, Brother Bei Shan, if we don’t teach him a harsh lesson, in the future the heroes of the world will surely look down on Ice Dragon Island!”
Bei Dao’s expression was just as ominously dark. Publicly disrespecting the talents of Ice Dragon Island, this Third Young Master of the Han Family was indeed a first, and they couldn’t just let it slide.
“Hmph, naturally,” “Don’t worry, brother. While we were talking, I’ve already silently let the Frost Qi invade his Dantian. He is unaware now, but once he exerts himself on the platform tomorrow, the Frost Qi will burst forth, crippling him—at best, destroying his Dantian and permanently losing his cultivation level; at worst, it will be fatal. Isn’t his fate then at our disposal?”
Bei Shan’s face revealed a vicious trace.
“Brilliant, brother, truly brilliant!”
“Wonderful!”
