Chapter 408

Chapter 408: Are you truly not afraid of death?

Li Bai glanced lightly and then withdrew his divine sense.

He sat by the window, enjoying the bustling scene of people coming and going outside.

“Hmm? Interesting.”

Suddenly, Li Bai noticed several figures emanating malice, approaching the restaurant.

According to the rankings of the cultivation world, these individuals should have reached the Golden Core stage.

Upon their arrival, they did not directly attack the restaurant, as it was protected by a strong barrier.

They disguised themselves as guests to enter the restaurant and then went into a private room next to Li Bai, close to the staircase.

Time passed, and more than half an hour went by.

Li Bai observed that the three royal elves on the roof had finished their meal and were now descending with the protection of their guards.

However, just as the group reached the second-floor staircase, several figures suddenly burst out from the nearest private room.

In the crowd, faced with this unexpected turn of events, the leading guard simply waved his hand, forming a shield to protect everyone.

He then lightly instructed the remaining guards, “Protect the prince and princess.”

In the next moment, he waved his hand again, sending a beam of light swiftly sweeping toward the attacking figures.

Several individuals who rushed out from the private room were instantly sent flying, and while in the air, they exploded into a mist of blood.

“Wenger the magic tutor, what’s going on?”

At this moment, the elf prince finally regained his composure.

“Just a few jumping clowns. I don’t know who sent them to be a nuisance; Your Highness need not worry,” the man known as Wenger the magic tutor said lightly.

With the presence of this formidable magic tutor protecting the prince and princess, it was baffling that someone would dare send a few intermediate magicians to carry out an assassination; it was nothing but a nuisance.

It was like sending Golden Core stage cultivators to assassinate someone protected by Integration stage cultivators; success was impossible, at most it was just an annoyance.

However, as Wenger spoke, his gaze fixed intently on one direction, filled with vigilance.

Following Wenger’s line of sight, everyone saw a white-clad elf with a long sword at his waist, holding a wine gourd, seemingly watching the commotion.

“This is it? How boring,” Li Bai thought to himself, surprised that the assassins turned out to be so ineffective.

Shaking his head, feeling uninterested, Li Bai turned around toward the private room.

“Stop!”

In the next moment, a voice called out.

Li Bai turned to see an elf youth at the staircase reprimanding him.

This elf youth was one of the two princes in the group.

“Are you calling me?” Li Bai asked the elf prince.

“What do you think you’re doing?” the elf prince continued to question Li Bai.

“What does it matter to you what I’m doing?” Li Bai replied curtly.

The Elf prince saw Li Bai’s attitude and immediately became furious.

“Wenger the magic tutor, capture him; he is likely an accomplice of the assassins,” the Elf prince angrily commanded.

As a high-ranking prince of the Elf Tribe, no one dared to treat him with such disdain before.

Seeing him, everyone else was usually cautious and respectful, but now someone had the audacity to disrespect him.

“You all go, seize him,” Wenger instructed his subordinates.

Since His Highness the prince had spoken, he naturally could not disobey orders.

Wenger could not assess the opponent’s strength, but this was the Imperial City; as soon as he signaled, a more powerful great magic tutor or even a holy magic tutor would act immediately.

Moreover, he had a defense scroll capable of withstanding attacks from a holy magic tutor. Thus, he did not worry about the safety of the princes and princesses.

Even if the person before him were a holy magic tutor, he could hold out until the royal family’s holy magic tutor arrived.

Hearing Wenger the magic tutor’s words, a group of guards charged toward Li Bai.

However, Li Bai merely waved his hand and said lightly, “Don’t provoke me.”

In the next moment, several guards who rushed forward were sent flying back, crashing into the crowd and knocking many down.

Li Bai did not kill them.

As a powerful Profound Immortal, he did not need to argue with a group of mortals.

However, although Li Bai did not wish to engage with mere mortals, others felt differently.

In an instant, all the guards cast attack magic at Li Bai.

Even Wenger the magic tutor activated his protective scroll, ensuring the safety of himself and the three princes and princesses, and then unleashed a powerful magic attack at Li Bai.

He believed that the man before him, being so close to the assassins, was likely involved with them.

Therefore, he could not let you get away with a mistake.

However, just as all the magic was about to hit Li Bai, a protective barrier appeared around him.

The spells striking the barrier rebounded in a flurry.

“Ah~”

“Ah~”

In the next moment, a chorus of screams erupted as all those who had cast attack magic at Li Bai were struck by their own spells.

In an instant, countless guards fell in droves.

Although Li Bai felt disdain for fighting with mortals, if they acted against him, he would not hesitate to let them taste the consequences of their own attacks.

His shield meant that the harder they attacked him, the stronger the rebound would be.

Thus, almost all who launched an attack against Li Bai found themselves killed by their own magic.

But there was one exception.

That was the leading Wenger the magic tutor. His attack was also rebounded, but it struck a magical shield, causing no disturbance to it.

This was because Wenger had activated a protective shield capable of withstanding attacks from a holy magic tutor’s spell.

However, the power of a magic tutor’s attack was inherently immense.

In the next moment, a massive shockwave spread rapidly in all directions.

Simultaneously, the entire restaurant’s protective barrier was activated.

Although the barrier protected the main structure of the restaurant, removable doors, windows, and walls suffered damage.

Moreover, the shockwave reached both upstairs and downstairs through the staircase.

For a moment, it felt as if a bomb had been dropped inside the restaurant, filling the air with dust and debris.

Nonetheless, although the “bomb” exploded fiercely, Wenger the magic tutor, the three princes and princesses, and Li Bai near the center remained unscathed.

However, upon witnessing this, the two princes and princesses stood in shocked amazement.

They had never experienced such an event in their lives.

All their guards, except for Wenger the magic tutor, had been wiped out.

“Are you truly not afraid of death for attempting to assassinate the prince of the empire?” Wenger looked at Li Bai with a grim expression and asked.

After activating the magic scroll, he was no longer afraid of what the man before him could do.

Now, he simply needed to wait for reinforcements from the palace’s powerhouses, so he tried to stall Li Bai with his words, ensuring the man couldn’t escape.
