I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 513: Chapter 514: You’re overthinking it
Looking at the supreme edge in front of him that seemed capable of tearing apart the Primordial Spirit, Li Xiaobai stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said indifferently, “No matter, since the Zhang Family Head also wants some guidance, I shall not be stingy and will point out a few moves for you!”

“How audacious, to remain so composed in the face of my onslaught!”

“Young Master Li, this sort of attitude is going to cost you dearly!”

Seeing that Li Xiaobai still adopted a posture with his hands behind his back, not preparing to meet the attack, the Zhang Family Head was furious, his anger reaching sky-high. Even facing a cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Stage and offering no resistance was one thing, but to do the same against a super expert like him in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, wasn’t that openly showing contempt for him?

Did he really think the Zhang Family had no one capable?

He was a super expert of the fourth level in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, not just some ordinary cultivator who had just entered the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

This Li Xiaobai, even if he were among the top tier of young prodigies, would not have a cultivation level above the fourth level of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage at this moment; he was not his match.

“If I take action first, the Family Head won’t have a chance to perform. Let’s allow you a moment to show off in front of the clan disciples. I can’t just slap your face right from the start, can I?”

Li Xiaobai said with a chuckle.

In his heart, he felt somewhat helpless; these people from the Zhang Family seemed unable to comprehend the gap in strength between them, blinded by rage and self-interest.

The so-called top tier prodigies mentioned in the outside world were just a joke in his eyes. The notion that the strongest young prodigy cultivators were only at the fourth level of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage was nonsense.

Only his own senior brothers and sisters were worthy of being called top-tier young cultivators, young in age, yet already at the pinnacle of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and one step into the Mahayana Realm; how could they be compared to these well-frog family scions?

“Arrogant fool, die!”

The Zhang Family Patriarch’s face was fierce, and his longsword turned into a ray of light, flipping and flying, weaving a vast net of swords to envelop Li Xiaobai within it.

[Attribute Points +5000…]

[Attribute Points +5000…]

Finally, there was an attack that looked a bit more substantial. Although the added Attribute Points were still not very impressive, this wave could still add tens of thousands of Attribute Points to him, better than nothing.

“The Zhang Family Head’s sword technique is somewhat fierce; it’s quite good,”

Li Xiaobai nodded in approval and said.

The crowd below was petrified again, facing the Sword Qi of the Zhang Family Patriarch, still without any defense, taking it with his physical body; was this still human?

The Family Head was a master of the Tribulation Crossing Stage; even those of the same realm wouldn’t dare be so brazen, yet Li Xiaobai was unharmed. What kind of cultivation level did he possess?

“This is impossible!”

The complexion of the Zhang Family Head completely changed, realizing that even treating Li Xiaobai as a top-tier prodigy was still underestimating him.

To withstand his sword technique with a physical body was not something just anybody could do.

With a horizontal sweep of his longsword, a Demonic Divine Spirit appeared behind him, towering between heaven and earth. The Primordial Spirit held the sword with both hands, a formidable aura sweeping out, also striking fiercely towards Li Xiaobai’s head.

The intangible pressure tore at Li Xiaobai’s physical body; even from a distance, one could still feel the sharp edge emanating from the Primordial Spirit.

The golden longsword waved, divine light flashed, and the entire arena was split in two, the explosive aura bursting forth, scattering in all directions.

[Attribute Points +6000…]

[Attribute Points +6000…]

Feeling the surge of System attribute values, Li Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction; this wave had increased his attribute points by over ten thousand, which was quite decent.

“This move’s power is not bad, but it’s still somewhat weak. I once knew someone who, at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, unleashed a sword strike that even Great Crossing Realm Cultivators had to take note of, inspired by his cherished sight. Compared to him, the Zhang Family Patriarch still has a long way to go,”

Li Xiaobai said slowly. The cultivator he was talking about was naturally the old Sword Demon. In terms of offensive power, there was no doubt he was second to none, but it was a pity that he had already fallen.

Otherwise, Li Xiaobai would have really liked to find him and furiously farm a wave of attribute points.

“This…”

“What exactly is your cultivation level?”

“Among the young and powerful, I have never heard of someone like you!”

“Could it be that you are not some youthful genius, but rather a thousand-year-old monster in disguise? Did you follow the Vice Leader to Aolai Country with some ulterior motive?”

In a mere moment, the Zhang Family Patriarch was scared out of his wits; his full-force attack had been easily resolved by the young man in front of him.

Not even the Longsword condensed from his Primordial Spirit had left a scratch on the young man’s flesh, which spoke volumes about the strength of his body and cultivation level, didn’t it?

A cultivator of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage might not be able to do this, right?

Grand Perfection? Or perhaps a cultivator of the Great Crossing Realm?

The more the Zhang Family Patriarch thought about it, the more alarmed he became. A cultivator with such strength was definitely not just any ordinary young genius, but most likely some old monster in disguise.

Coming to Aolai Country at this crucial moment, following the Vice Leader, could hardly be just to participate in a tournament and socialize with the young talents from various families.

Combining the news from the Situ Household, it seemed likely this involved the power struggle among the three Family Heads.

Otherwise, how could the other two Family Heads not notice the Vice Leader bringing back such an unparalleled expert?

The fact that they noticed but took no action revealed a lot.

Thus it seemed, his Zhang Family had messed up today. They had intended to catch a turtle in a jar, but now, it seemed their roles had been reversed.

“I am Li Xiaobai, merely a passerby on the path to invincibility, not some thousand-year-old monster. Zhang Family Patriarch, you know nothing about the power of a genius!”

Li Xiaobai looked indifferent, disregarding everything before him.

“No… This can’t be right, with your strength and cultivation, the three Family Heads allow you to move freely; you can’t be just anybody. What exactly is your purpose in coming to Aolai Country?”

“You don’t need to tell me, my Zhang Family belongs to the faction of the Third Family Head. Could you, out of respect for the Third Family Head, spare the Zhang Family?”

“I, Zhang, can assure you that from now on, I will not interfere with Young Master Li’s affairs!”

The Zhang Family Head changed his tune in an instant, begging for mercy. He understood that the situation was far from as simple as what met the eye, fearing he might have stumbled into a massive conspiracy whirlpool.

If he meddled even slightly, he could face imminent death.

“Heh, Zhang Family Head, you worry too much. It was your Zhang Family who invited me here for the tournament, all within your control. How could I possibly have any sinister schemes?”

Li Xiaobai chuckled. He flipped his wrist and a longsword appeared in his hand, which he slowly raised above his head.

Seeing his movements, the Zhang Family Patriarch was so startled that his hair stood on end, and in a flash, he appeared a hundred zhang away, speeding off into the distance.

He left behind a crowd of clan members with somewhat dazed expressions; their Family Head had actually run away!
