Turns Out I Really Am The Protagonist

The world is filled with myriad sects, horrific demons, and rising heroes, but each only reigns for a few hundred years. This world had no protagonist; it was merely a cycle of one power replacing ...

Chapter 52 Self-Defense

Li Sisui had almost forgotten what happened on Mount Fugu, but the man in black brought it up again. Only then did Li Sisui realize that all the inexplicable feelings he had before had disappeared. It turned out that it was sent by Daoist Wufa, which made sense.

The scene of the bride snatching that took place in Tianmen Sect Square back then is still incredibly amusing to recall. It's just that we were ignorant and fearless back then. Now that I think about it, I suppose the Daoist Wufa had the intention to kill him back then, but he had no choice but to hold back because of the public. No wonder he made such a killing move!

While Li Sisui was stunned, the man in black raised his arm, and two beams of lightning, as bright as day, slashed towards Li Sisui's face with a crackling sound. In the instant of the lightning, Li Sisui's face turned stern, and he was furious!

I was just careless and didn't dodge. Just because I'm not showing my teeth doesn't mean I'm a pushover. Do you still think I'm the same clueless, ignorant youth I was back then?

The man in black's eyes gleamed coldly, a bloodthirsty rage lurking beneath. The relentless pursuit of Li Sisui over the past two years had nearly driven him mad. If Li Sisui didn't appear today, he might very well self-destruct. The man in black gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse as he spoke:

"I don't believe you'll have such good luck today, you'd better die!"

"Good luck?"

Li Sisui was fully focused on controlling the slow sword domain. After hearing the words of the man in black, a look of doubt flashed across his face, but he immediately realized that the good luck he mentioned must be his protagonist's halo. Thinking of this, Li Sisui's confidence increased, and he gradually broke free from the fear of death and regained his usual composure.

What are you afraid of? I have the protagonist's halo. If you say you'll cripple me, then I'll be a little scared. But if you want to kill me, hmph, sorry, that's a bit of bragging. I've been scared all along. Who are you trying to fool?

A cold smile flashed across Li Sisui's face as he stared coldly at the two bolts of lightning, a disdainful smile curving his lips.

Two bolts of lightning, moving at an astonishing speed, were almost invisible to the naked eye. However, the moment they touched the Slow Sword Domain, they inevitably revealed their true form. As Li Sisui's lips gradually parted in a grin, the lightning bolts crawled at a snail's pace. Under the stunned gaze of the man in black, Li Sisui controlled the transparent short sword and directly reduced the two bolts to dust!

"What...what kind of magic weapon is this?"

The man in black was shocked. His lightning spike, which he had thrown with all his might, was so easily neutralized. Not only that, but the spike itself was also destroyed. How could that arrogant brat from back then have suddenly become so powerful? Absolutely impossible. He must have just gotten lucky and picked up some heaven-defying magic weapon again!

Thinking of this, a greedy glint flashed in the black-clad man's eyes. He then carefully examined Li Sisui. Divine Illumination Level 3, no problem. It must be a heaven-defying magic weapon. It seems that good things come with many hardships. He is really going to make it big this time. All the suffering he endured before was not in vain. The black-clad man couldn't help but feel a little teary-eyed. Li Sisui was stunned again. This guy, is he really crazy?

But then again, do cultivators ever have mental illnesses?

If so, then the mentally ill person has gone mad; what kind of crime is this, a crime of passion?

If you are on the defensive and then retaliate, shouldn't that be considered legitimate self-defense?

The two who were hostile to each other just moments ago now had different thoughts and expressions. This strange situation was truly rare. Li Sisui was conflicted. He kept telling himself that if he killed him now, it would be self-defense, or at most excessive self-defense. It had nothing to do with killing or disregarding human life!

Every time he thought of the terrifying scene just now, Li Sisui's murderous intent swelled. Thinking of the hypocritical face of the Daoist Wufa in the past, his killing intent intensified. He immediately decided that if this person stopped now, he would let bygones be bygones. If this person insisted on a fight to the death, then in order to defend his right to life, he would have no choice but to kill him to eliminate any future troubles!

To live or to die? It's all up to your next choice!

The man in black composed himself, forcibly suppressing his shock, and once again put on that ferocious and crazed expression, saying meaningfully:

"You little brat, you're still so lucky. I never thought my most prized technique would be so easily defeated by you. But don't get too cocky. Today it's either you or me. You've caused me so much trouble, and I have no choice but to atone with my death!"

As he spoke, the man in black choked up, and Li Sisui began to doubt himself. If he hadn't repeatedly confirmed that this was their first meeting, he might have actually believed that he had done something to the man in black before!

"You...you should act normal. We're all cultivators, after all. We should be respectable people, you know?"

"Decent? I almost lost my life chasing after you!"

"Chase...chase me? Why are you chasing me?"

Li Sisui's eyes showed doubt. Recalling the choked tone of the man in black earlier, could it be...?

Impossible! I'm male and I like women. You've got the wrong person. But then I realized, this guy probably forgot a word. He wasn't chasing me, he was trying to kill me!

"The First Sect of Mount Fugu, how dare you lowly commoners from the foot of the mountain run wild! The moment you opened your mouth, you were already dead. It was only due to various reasons that you were allowed to live until now. If you have any conscience, you should kowtow and thank this great master right now!"

When the man in black mentioned "various reasons," a struggle appeared on his face. Clearly, these so-called various reasons were difficult for him to talk about, so he could only use four words to gloss over them, wishing he could say nothing at all!

"Speak like a human! Considering we're all cultivators, I'll finally advise you to feed the rat juice!"

Li Sisui was completely impressed by the black-clad man's acting skills, which were both real and fake. He didn't know what this guy had been through, but he spoke eloquently and convincingly. However, Li Sisui was completely confused and too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. He could only issue a warning directly!
