Chapter 1713: Peak Defence

“Blaaargh…” Blood came sputtering out of Wugui Kojiro’s mouth. His knees caved in and he crumpled to the ground.

The Dantian was the core, the most important position in every cultivator’s body.

With their Dantian damaged, not only would the cultivator be prevented from using his Ethereal Force, but their blood circulation and breathing cycles would be greatly affected too.

“Brrrrr… So cold… What happened…” Wugui Korijo sat on the floor with an ashen face and purple lips. There was a piercing yin cold stabbing at his Dantian. His veins and muscles were beginning to freeze.

“Who was that… Only 210,000 combat power… That’s not Ximen Hanfeng… Why did he attack me… And what’s with this cold… Someone help me…”

Wugui Kojiro’s body was trembling from the cold.

As the cold began to spread, his breathing and blood flow grew weaker. He did not even have the strength to shout out for help.

BAM!

The rocks which piled on top of Chen Xiaobei burst open all of a sudden and Chen Xiaobei walked out of it, unscathed.

“You… You’re not dead… This… This is impossible…” Wugui Kojiro’s eyes widened in genuine surprise. “Your combat power is only 210,000… I punched you… You should be dead… How are you unharmed…”

Right now, Wugui Kojiro was like a tiger with its claws and teeth removed, maimed and harmless

Chen Xiaobei addressed the wounded man with a smile. “I have a really delicious piece of biscuit here! Eat it and I’ll answer all of your questions.”

Chen Xiaobei took out the Heavenly Dog Biscuit as he made his way to the prince.

Terror filled Wugio Kojiro’s eyes as he protested, “No… I won’t eat it… That’s poison… I will not eat it… Warriors… Help… Come and help me, quick…”

Unfortunately for him, he was too weak, and his voice was too soft to reach his men’s ears.

Moreover, Chen Xiaobei was already standing in front of him, prying his mouth open with one hand.

With his free hand, Chen Xiaobei forced the dog biscuit into Wugui Kojiro’s mouth.

“Mmmmmrmmm…”

Wugui Kojiro struggled with whatever energy was left in his body. But with his mouth clammed shut by Chen Xiaobei’s hand, the dog biscuit began to melt and take effect.

Soon after, Wugui Kojiro acknowledged Chen Xiaobei as his master.

Chen Xiaobei took the Abyssal Ice back and threw some Spiritual Medicine to rectify the cold and also a Taiyi Life Enhancement pill at Wugui Kojiro’s feet. “Get rid of the cold Qi first, and then take the pill. Your body will be able to recover quickly!”

“Yes… Thank you, master…” Wugui Kojiro’s voice shook as he ate the Spiritual Medicine.

With the cold qi expelled from his body, the color gradually returned to his face.

After that, he swallowed the Taiyi Life Enhancement pill, and his Dantian began to heal.

In a short few minutes, Wugui Kojiro had completely recovered. No one would be able to notice that anything was amiss.

“Master, I’ve sort of figured out how my Dantian was injured, but theirs is still something I’m don’t understand…” Wugui Kojiro said.

“Go ahead and ask,” Chen Xiaobei answered.

“I don’t understand how you were able to survive my punch,” Wugui Kojiro enquired. “My fist had struck your body, yet you were unscathed. It just doesn’t make sense…”

“That’s simple!” Chen Xiaobei answered. “The protection of the clothes that I’m wearing is close to peak Spiritual Instrument level. Strikes below God-Ascension cultivation cannot hurt me!”

If Chen Xiaobei had used the Ultimate Protective Puppet, the prince’s fist would have struck an invisible barrier.

However, as the puppet wasn’t used, Wugui Kojiro’s fist did make physical contact with Chen Xiaobei’s body.

Chen Xiaobei’s health alone would not have been able to shield him from that punch. The real reason why he did not sustain any injuries was all thanks to his recently upgraded Nightstalker outfit.

“Peak… Spiritual Instrument… That’s almost as powerful as an Earth-God instrument!” Wugui Kojiro swallowed. “Master, you are truly amazing! I didn’t know that you have such a powerful item with you!”

“You’ve asked to many questions! We don’t have much time. It’s your turn to answer my questions!” Chen Xiaobei said in a stern voice. “Tell me, why did Tenshou and Royal Dome send their soldiers here?”

“We’re here to sabotage Saint Duke’s betrothal contest! We were going to prevent the competitors from being able to complete the task of killing a Giant Barbaric Tiger within a month!” Wugui Kojiro answered honestly. “Tenshou and Royal Dome’s second joint-attack is set to take place after one month! As long Saint Duke’s plan to choose a Fuma is not realized within this month, they won’t be able to receive external help. They would be completely destroyed in the joint-attack!”

“What? The second wave of attack in only one month away?” Chen Xiaobei gasped. “The people of Saint Duke are completely unprepared!”

Wugui Kojiro nodded. “To be precise, there are only 22 days left to the attack! When morning breaks, it would have been the eighth day of this operation!”

“That…” Chen Xiaobei shook his head worriedly. “No! I have to stop the attack or Saint Duke will be wiped out!”

“I’m afraid that’s going to be very difficult…” Wugui Kojiro frowned.

“No matter how difficult it is, it has to be done!” Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes as he thought out loud. “If I stop the attack, the betrothal contest can continue! Now, I have to kill a Giant Barbaric Tiger and secure my place for the betrothal before terminating the attack!”

“That… That’s impossible…” Wugui Kojiro looked at the ground despondently. “With what little time left, just finishing one of those tasks is not going to be an easy feat!”

“No! I cannot allow Saint Duke to fall and I also cannot give up my place in the contest!” Chen Xiaobei’s eyes glimmered with determination. “For the remaining 22 days, I will be racing against time! You better coordinate with me and try not to give me any problems!”

“Yes, master! I will report everything to you! But as to whether or not we’ll succeed, that is not certain…” Wugui Kojiro muttered. “This is because Tenshou and Royal Dome have sent a lot of God-Ascension elites here… and my brothers… They might not listen to me…”

“I know! Keep me updated. I will come up with a plan!” Chen Xiaobei said. “Can you settle Ximen Hanfeng’s death?”

“He… He’s dead?” Wugui Kojiro took a step backwards. “Don’t worry, master. Everyone here is my trusted aide in this ravine. I will tell them what to say so that no one will find out the truth!”

“Good! That’s that then! Remember my phone number and keep in contact!” Chen Xiaobei gave the prince his number and snuck out of the ravine.

…

10 miles west of the ravine, Chen Xiaobei located Ao Liancheng and the disciples of the Divine Tiger Faction.
