I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 481

Chapter 481: Chapter 482: It’s Not Your Fault for Being Short-sighted
“Brother Situ, we bought something from someone, how can we not pay with Spirit Stones?”

Zong Yao’s expression was incredibly anxious, never expecting Situ Renjie to be so overbearing and actually dine and dash, dragging her into this embarrassment!

“Yao’er, paying money is one thing, but this lad’s disdain for the Situ Household’s dignity is another matter altogether. No matter what, we must teach him a lesson today!”

Situ Renjie waved his hand dismissively, while Elder Mo on the side let out a sinister laugh, stretching out a hand towards Li Xiaobai and grasping in the air. In just a moment, the entire stall was crushed into a ball.

The immense pressure descended, intimidating all the onlookers around.

“This is a Transcendance Tribulation Stage powerhouse!”

“He must have already half-stepped into the Mahayana Realm!”

“From the Situ Household of the Eastern Sea’s Aolai Country, I wondered how such a young man could be accompanied by such a super expert, it turns out he is a cultivator from the Situ family!”

“It looks like this stall owner’s in deep trouble, daring to confront the second son of the Situ family, even within the confines of the port, he’s bound to suffer.”

The cultivators around were filled with fear and awe; a Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert was an existence far beyond their reach. Such cultivators were elder-level figures in any given power, yet here one served merely as a follower to another.

The disciples of great powers truly have profound foundations!

“Boy, you dare to insult the Situ family, you’re courting death, kneel before this old man!”

Elder Mo’s face was fierce, his hands exerting force continuously, a powerful aura bursting forth and splattering around, causing the surrounding cultivators to scatter like birds startled by the twang of a bow, quickly retreating.

Li Xiaobai, however, was the picture of composure, not taking the other party seriously at all. He watched the blinking numbers on the attribute value panel before him, a strange curve forming on his lips.

[Attribute Points +5000…]

[Attribute Points +5000…]

[Attribute Points +5000…]

This old geezer’s attack is a bit weak, providing very limited Attribute Points. Even though he’s at the peak of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage just like the Senior Sister, he is far weaker by more than just a small margin.

“Are all the people from the Situ family so arrogantly tyrannical?”

Li Xiaobai sat cross-legged on the ground, his back straight, immovable as a mountain,

resolving in his heart that anyone who dared to cause him trouble would not get off easily – he had to retaliate!

Not only would he retaliate, but he would also make it widely known, ensuring the Situ family would lose all face!

He had wanted to just sell some things peacefully without causing trouble, and yet he had encountered such a bunch of fools; truly, the world is deteriorating.

Elder Mo’s eyes shifted, having expended no small amount of his cultivation, but the forces he unleashed seemed to disappear like a mud ox into the sea upon touching Li Xiaobai’s form, not causing the slightest ripple.

“Not bad for a young genius, some skills there, but in the face of absolute power, all these little tricks are useless.”

The Dantian swelled, and a surge of immense energy suddenly exploded, an invisible giant hand covering the sky and grabbing violently at Li Xiaobai.

[Attribute Points +7000…]

Real power was exerted, but sadly, the Attribute Points were still insignificant compared to the Senior Sister; the difference was far too great.

After digging in his ear, Li Xiaobai spoke lightly, “Elder Mo, right? Your strength seems a bit weak. With such a level, how can you protect your young master?”

“You…”

“What exactly is your cultivation level? Among the young prodigies of today, the strongest are merely at the fourth level of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. How can you resist the attacks of this elder?”

“It must be a treasure on your person causing mischief!”

Elder Mo’s expression completely changed. He had exerted his true strength, but still, there was not the slightest reaction. This was too strange. He had never encountered such a situation before.

He did not detect the slightest hint of danger, nor did he sense any fluctuations of Spiritual Power, yet the opponent had indeed truly blocked his attack. Rather than believing in Li Xiaobai’s superior cultivation level, he was more inclined to think that Li Xiaobai was relying on a treasure to contend against him.

“Enough, Brother Situ. How can my family from the Eastern Sea bully others with power? This act not only tarnishes your own reputation but also the reputations of the Situ Household and my Zong Family!”

Zong Yao, who had been silent all along, suddenly erupted and ran toward Li Xiaobai without any regard for the consequences.

Elder Mo’s expression changed, and he quickly retracted his momentum, returning the scene to calm once again.

“Young Master Li, these are my Spirit Stones, a total of ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, all for you. Consider it an apology from my Zong Family to you.”

“I truly apologize for today’s incident. I didn’t expect Brother Situ would do such a thing. Please don’t take it to heart, Young Master Li!”

Zong Yao said earnestly.

“Actually, I just wanted to conduct a legitimate transaction. I never thought it would be so difficult. Legitimate trading is tough indeed.”

Li Xiaobai shook his head and sighed.

“Yao’er, step back. My Situ Household will not tolerate others’ disdain. This person must pay the price today. Elder Mo, capture this man and take him back to our clan for judgment!”

Situ Renjie said with a chilling expression, as Zong Yao’s actions were no doubt a slap in his face.

This foolish woman simply doesn’t know what’s good for her. He had treated her kindly, yet she didn’t appreciate it. The Zong Family had already declined to this state, and still, she cared about face!

If it weren’t for the support of the Situ Household, the Zong Family would have been kicked out of the game long ago.

“Heh, boy, no matter what treasures you have, today you will have to cough them up for this elder!”

“Miss Yao’er, please bear with this for now. After this elder captures this boy, I will come to apologize to you!”

Elder Mo’s expression was ferocious. His Internal Cultivation Technique was running wildly as he prepared to forcibly subdue Li Xiaobai and take him away. With his power fully unleashed, he was confident that it would only take an instant to bring the opponent to the sea surface and execute him.

“Perhaps you think you are absolutely safe in the harbor, which is why you are so brazen. But let me tell you, there are some people in this world who can stand above the rules.”

Situ Renjie had sinister eyes. As long as Elder Mo acted quickly enough, even if he broke the rules, no one would be able to grasp their fault.

“Elder Mo, you all!”

Zong Yao’s expression changed as she didn’t expect that they would even attempt to suppress her as well.

“Young master, run! Elder Mo is a peak Transcendance Tribulation Stage powerhouse, you are not his match!”

“It’s not your fault for having a narrow view, but it’s wrong for you to wander around so carelessly. You know nothing about the power of geniuses!”

Li Xiaobai laughed, then flipped his wrist and drew out a Longsword. He lifted it high above his head and casually slashed forward, the movement smooth and fluid.

In just an instant, everyone in the area, whether it was Situ Renjie, Elder Mo, or the surrounding cultivators who were watching, all felt their bodies uncontrollably rushing forward, kneeling on both knees, with hands held high above their heads, in reverent worship.

“What’s happening? Why can’t I control my own body!”

“Why do I feel the urge to kneel down and accept the sword?”

“Sword Imprisonment, Demon’s Wicked Sword. This is Demon Sword Li Xiaobai’s sorcery!”
