Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 211 Terror Defense

Chen Li sheathed the Demon-Slaying Sword and felt refreshed.

She then used a cleansing technique on herself to get rid of the lingering smell of medicine.

Only then did he walk leisurely towards the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back.

In the past two years, as Chen Li has intentionally reduced the damage to the courtyard, and with the help of his wives, concubines and servants who have been tidying up the courtyard little by little and planting some flowers and plants, the courtyard has become much more elegant. Everywhere you look, there is a sense of spiritual energy, ancient trees provide shade, exotic flowers bloom in competition, and there is a scene of birds singing and flowers blooming.

"It does have a bit of an ethereal quality."

Chen Li was in a good mood and walked slowly.

They ran into Zhang Shuniang, who stopped in her tracks and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, husband, how come your skin color has returned to normal?"

"Yes, once you've achieved perfection, your skin will naturally return to its original color," Chen Li said nonchalantly.

Zhang Shuniang clearly grasped the key point in Chen Li's words. Her beautiful eyes frequently swept over Chen Li, her gaze shifting as she muttered to herself, "No wonder!"

"No wonder what?" Chen Li asked curiously.

"Hehe, I won't tell you!" She twisted her body, bypassed Chen Li, and tried to leave.

However, they had only taken a few steps.

Chen Li grabbed him by the back of his neck by the collar and pulled him back, like a lamb being pinned down by a tiger.

"Say it!"

Chen Li feigned anger.

"Oh dear, let's talk about it tonight. Why don't you go ask Sister Zhou?" Zhang Shuniang said with a charming smile.

"I hate it when people only say half of what they mean, just say it already."

"Alright, alright, I told you... Honestly, you've messed up my clothes." Zhang Shuniang scolded him playfully, then whispered in his ear, "I just think my husband looks even more handsome now."

That's it! ?
Chen Li has never cared about his height or appearance.

He's long past the age where he cares about his appearance.

Ugly or handsome.

He didn't care at all.

As long as they don't look inhuman, that's fine.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Shuniang broke free, glared at Chen Li, and ran away like a little girl.

Chen Li looked at her beautiful figure and chuckled to himself, thinking, "She really never grows up."

She's almost thirty years old.

Sometimes she's still as innocent and carefree as a child.

but,

Has she really become more beautiful?
Curious, Chen Li found a small pond by the roadside.

I leaned closer to take a look.

Indeed, he had a handsome face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a heroic and upright demeanor.

Combined with the second-grade high-quality cloud-patterned robe he wore, he appeared even more ethereal and otherworldly, making it clear at a glance that he was a true cultivator of the Dao.

"She seems to have become more elegant... It looks like it will be harder and harder for her to keep a low profile in the future."

……

However, it's not without its advantages.

During dinner in the evening, his wives and concubines suddenly became much more enthusiastic. Not only did they speak in a soft, gentle voice, but they also frequently picked up food for him. Their eyes were full of spring-like affection as they smiled. Chen Li understood what was going on and that night he took his wives and concubines to sleep together under the same quilt. He did not sleep a wink all night.

……

morning.

The bedroom still smelled of last night's pleasure.

"I never imagined that the supernatural power of 'limb regeneration' would have this kind of effect," Chen Li thought to himself, marveling.

Despite working hard all night, I didn't feel any depletion in my body; I still felt energetic and in the same condition as before.

But it doesn't seem to be of much use!
He glanced at his wives and concubines, who were fast asleep.

He couldn't help but smirk.

After lying there for a while, she gently moved away the arms and legs wrapped around her body and resolutely got up from her cozy embrace.

After washing up and having breakfast, Chen Li went to the basement.

We need to test the body's defensive capabilities of the Immortal Muscle Jade Bone Technique to get a general idea of ​​its effectiveness.

"First, we'll focus on magical defense..."

He quickly took off his cloud-patterned robe and then his inner lining, revealing his muscular upper body.

He then released an illusion to create distance. Chen Li didn't dare to use second-tier spells directly, but instead planned to use low-level spells first to test his body's limits step by step.

First, a fully-leveled spiritual energy flick.

Unless one engages in body tempering, the physical bodies of ordinary cultivators are not actually that strong.

Even a second-tier demon beast, without using its protective aura, would have its defenses breached and suffer minor injuries if it relied solely on its physical body against a finger flick of full-level spiritual power comparable to a first-tier fifth-level demon beast.

This is still a demon beast.

As for the flesh and blood bodies of humans who have achieved foundation building, they are even weaker.

One wrong move and you could end up drowning in a ditch.

Of course, the probability of this is so small as to be negligible.

Foundation Establishment cultivators are generally very sensitive to their six senses and are extremely sensitive to danger. Often, before a spell even hits them, their Foundation Establishment spiritual power will instinctively and spontaneously defend themselves. It is almost impossible to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator with just a first-tier, fifth-level spell.

"Given the physical strength I demonstrated earlier, I should have no problem withstanding this level of attack!" Chen Li thought to himself.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the spiritual energy within his body to avoid stress-induced defense.

At the same time, his body instantly turned porcelain white, gleaming with a cold glaze.

There is no need for any thought exchange between the clone and the real body.

His true form is him, and so is his clone.

next moment.

Then there was a soft "hiss" sound.

A powerful finger strike, strong enough to shatter gold and split stone, instantly struck Chen Li's arm. However, the force was dissipated by the invisible power within his body the moment it touched the skin.

Chen Li couldn't help but touch his arm and found that apart from a slight itch at the spot where he was hit, he couldn't feel any pain at all, as if what he had just experienced was not an attack, but a gentle breeze.

He then proceeded with the experiment.

Its power is comparable to a fully leveled palm thunder of Tier 1, Level 8.

Unscathed.

Its power is comparable to a level 1, second-tier max-level Frost Spell.

It remained completely unharmed.

……

Chen Li continued experimenting, and starting from the second level, he became more cautious, gradually increasing the power of his equipment.

after all,

You could really die if you're not careful.

Fortunately, he had complete control over these spells, and could control their power at will.

To his surprise,

He easily withstood a level 5, second-tier, max-level Great Sound spell.

This is already comparable to the defensive strength of the secret technique "Zhou Tian Gang Jin".

Simply incredible.

Chen Li was overjoyed and began to continue experimenting with the True Fire Technique.

……

"boom!"

A jet of blue-white flame, like a fire dragon that could burn everything, surged forward.

After a mere 0.5 seconds of stalemate, the invisible protective force field generated by the Perfect Immortal Muscle Jade Bone Technique could no longer withstand the attack and quickly collapsed.

Fortunately, Chen Li had a contingency plan. At the critical moment, three illusory bodies covered in water appeared in front of Chen Li and blocked the remaining flames, allowing him to escape smoothly.

"That was close," Chen Li said, still shaken.

He looked down at the burns on his body:
"They're all burnt!"

Even if preparations are made,

He was still in a terrible state.

Not only were all the clothes on his body gone, but his hair and eyebrows were burned off, and even his skin was scalded and bleeding profusely, half-cooked.

Fortunately, the miraculous power of "limb regeneration" took effect quickly.

His body began to heal rapidly; the wounds quickly scabbed over and fell off, revealing pink new skin!
Chen Li carefully examined his body and found that apart from all the hair on his body being burned off and unable to recover for the time being, his whole body was intact.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems it can only defend against second-tier, seventh-level spells!"
