A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 13: The Heavens Want Me Dead!!

Li Xuanxiao's expression changed drastically.

Battles between such powerful figures were the most terrifying of all.

Due to the sheer difference in cultivation, even the residual shockwaves from their fight could easily claim the lives of ordinary cultivators.

Killing him would be as effortless as crushing an ant.

Li Xuanxiao had calculated everything—but never had he anticipated encountering two powerhouses locked in battle at this moment.

Watch the fight? Impossible!

That was pure suicide!!

In an instant, the terrifying shockwaves from their battle began rapidly spreading in all directions.

Massive, blazing fireballs streaked across the sky like meteors, whistling ominously as they plummeted toward the ground.

When the enormous fireballs collided with the earth, they erupted in deafening explosions that shook the entire world.

At the impact points, violent energy shockwaves rippled outward like waves, spreading with terrifying speed.

The ground struck by the fireballs couldn't withstand the devastating force. In mere moments, gaping craters dozens of meters wide were blasted open.

Dust billowed, rocks scattered, and what was once solid, level land instantly became a scene of utter devastation.

Cold sweat drenched Li Xuanxiao's back.

Terrifying beyond belief!!!

This was not a battle he could participate in.

Like watching high-level players duel in an online game—newbies shouldn't even think about looting items afterward.

Li Xuanxiao locked onto a spot near one of the craters.

According to crater theory, a projectile was unlikely to land in the same crater twice.

Without hesitation, he flashed over and activated his Earth Escape Technique.

Dig! Dig! Dig!

Slapping a Tunneling Talisman onto his forehead, Li Xuanxiao continued burrowing underground.

It was a long while before he finally stopped.

The cultivation world was indeed cruel and merciless.

Even so, he still didn’t feel safe.

Move mountains, overturn seas, pluck stars, sever rivers, raze cities, split the heavens?

Too dangerous.

A full day and night passed like this.

The chaos outside finally subsided, but Li Xuanxiao still concealed his aura, not daring to emerge.

The Junior Elder assigned to oversee him wasn’t particularly strong. If he were still alive, he was probably hiding just like Li Xuanxiao.

There was no one to rely on.

In this situation, staying hidden was the only option.

After waiting for another half a day,

Li Xuanxiao cautiously tunneled out—like a groundhog.

Only his head emerged as he scanned his surroundings. Once, twice, three times.

Confirming it was safe, he climbed out.

But just as he took a few steps forward—

A figure appeared in the distance.

Li Xuanxiao froze in place.

So unlucky!? The heavens want me dead?

It was a woman dressed in red, as stunning as a blood-red rose blooming in the night.

Blood streamed down her entire body! The scarlet liquid soaked her already vibrant red robes, making them even more striking, as if scorched by fire.

Her tightly pressed lips had turned faintly purple. Strands of disheveled hair clung to her sweat-drenched forehead, swaying gently in the wind—adding a tragic beauty to her appearance.

Li Xuanxiao turned and ran.

Run! Run!!

The overwhelming demonic aura—

She was definitely a demoness.

And not just any demoness, but an extremely powerful one.

He couldn’t win! No chance at all.

Even if she seemed like she was about to die in the next second—

She could still kill him in the 0.0001 seconds before that happened.

Sword Flight Technique, Spring Thunder!

His sword flashed like lightning, slicing through the sky.

Li Xuanxiao's face was grim as he channeled his true essence to its limit, leaving no reserves.

In that instant, the surrounding air seemed to twist under the force of his aura as he sped away.

Run! That was the only thought in his mind.

Run!!

The next moment—

Li Xuanxiao tripped and face-planted into the ground.

That streak of red appeared before him.

It’s over! My life is over.

The red-robed woman’s gaze locked onto the sword case on his back.

The sword case trembled violently, emitting a low hum.

"Mount Shushan disciple? Are you that old man’s student?"

Li Xuanxiao's heart trembled violently.

Just from the faint energy in her voice, he could barely withstand it.

The gap between them was too great—like the difference between clouds and mud.

No flying swords, no puppet poison needles could make up for this disparity.

He hadn't even left the beginner village, and he'd already run into a final boss!!

Lying flat on the ground, Li Xuanxiao suddenly felt the overwhelming pressure vanish.

The red-robed demoness, like a kite with a severed string, collapsed forward—

And landed heavily on his chest.

Upon impact, she lost consciousness completely.

Clearly, her injuries were too severe.

Li Xuanxiao was immediately overwhelmed by a scent—

A mix of faint fragrance and intense blood.

That unique aroma flooded his senses.

At the same time, he distinctly felt the warmth of her soft, boneless body pressing against him through the thin fabric.

It sent a slight tremor through his heart.

Huh?

Li Xuanxiao froze for a moment.

What kind of plot development was this?

She passed out!!

The next second, Li Xuanxiao jumped to his feet.

Demoness, prepare to die!!!

He unsheathed his sword and slashed straight at her neck.

Show mercy just because she’s beautiful?

Who knew what kind of monstrous face lurked beneath this facade?

With such overwhelming demonic energy, who knew how many atrocities she had committed?

Without hesitation, Li Xuanxiao raised his sword and struck at her head.

Slash... but it wouldn’t cut!?

Li Xuanxiao swung again.

"Clang! Clang! Clang—!!"

His hands went numb from the shock.

He switched targets and stabbed...

Still useless.

This was the difference in power—she wasn’t even moving, and he still couldn’t do anything to her.

Fine! You win.

Li Xuanxiao turned and bolted.

If he couldn’t kill her, he could at least run, right?

His heart pounded wildly.

Just then, something landed on his shoulder.

Li Xuanxiao’s mouth twitched slightly, and he stopped mid-flight.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the figure behind him.

She’s awake again!? Is she going to suck me dry?

"Take me somewhere safe," came a voice from behind.

"Understood!"

Li Xuanxiao agreed without hesitation.

Saying "no" at this moment was basically asking to die.

"........."

Inside a hidden cave.

The red-robed woman removed her inner armor. "Treat my wounds."

"Alright."

Li Xuanxiao pulled out a collection of colorful medicine bottles, each labeled carefully.

He reached for one labeled Hemostatic Powder. "This might sting a little."

"Less talking, more doing!"

Li Xuanxiao pressed his lips together.

Hemostatic Powder—

More like Five Poison Powder!!

As for why he labeled it Hemostatic Powder?

Because if someone ever picked up his storage ring, he didn’t want them using his stuff so easily.
