I Don t Want to Get Hurt, So I ll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Chapter 500: Senior, You’re Kind of Weak
The scene in front of Zong Mansion was bustling with noise, and the neighing of horses and carriages could be heard.

Zongdao and his wife exchanged glances, somewhat at a loss. The Zhang Family had arrived too quickly, and they had not yet come up with a strategy, so they couldn’t help but look towards Li Xiaobai.

“Young Master Li, what should we do now?”

Li Xiaobai smiled slightly and walked leisurely out of Zong Mansion, “You need not worry, they’re just a motley crew, easily wiped out with a flick of the wrist.”

In front of the gate, dozens of fine horses were neatly lined up. A young man at the forefront was staring at Zong Mansion with a murderous look on his face. Seeing Li Xiaobai emerge, his eyes lit up.

“Are you the cultivator Li Xiaobai who crippled my elder brother’s cultivation level?”

“Indeed, I am Li Xiaobai.”

Li Xiaobai nodded in response. The man in front of him resembled Zhang Xu by about seventy to eighty percent and was probably his brother.

“Scoundrel, daring to kill our clan’s genius, have you considered the consequences?”

“Today, my Zhang Family will settle this matter with you. Do you dare to take to the stage and fight a round with me? If you win, my Zhang Family will let bygones be bygones. But if you lose, not only will I cripple your cultivation, but I will also cripple the entire Zong Family!”

An elder with a gloomy expression and a dangerous glint in his eyes was originally a strong hand from Zhang Xu’s lineage. He hadn’t expected such a drastic change to happen, shattering his dreams of quick success. The one responsible for it all was the young man before him, named Li Xiaobai.

The portrait described him as a young genius dominating the Mainland, but he did not believe it. How strong could a mere twenty-something be?

Could he really be on par with the top prodigies of Aolai Country?

No matter how talented, what difference did it make if one didn’t grow up? They were just like waste paper, to be stepped on by anyone.

“This is an elder of the Zhang Family, with the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Stage, and his methods are very formidable. Young Master Li must be careful!”

Zongdao and others also rushed over from behind. Seeing the elder, their pupils contracted. The Zhang Family had actually brought in a Nascent Soul Cultivator, which was unexpected. How could such elders get involved in disputes among the younger generation?

“Elder Zhang, you are also considered an elder. How can you stoop to deal with a junior?”

“Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”

Zongdao said with a sullen face.

“Heh, I don’t care about that. Besides, when this lad bullied our young master before, he didn’t hold back, did he?”

“Today, I am going to teach this lad a lesson and let him understand what it means that there are heavens beyond this heaven!”

The Zhang surname elder’s eyes flashed with a chilling light as he spoke coldly.

“Indeed, we will settle the accounts with the Zong Family later. Today, we will deal with this lad first.”

“If I remember correctly, the Zong mother’s birthday is in two days, right? Be careful not to let the happy event turn into a funeral!”

Zhang Xu’s gaze was intense as he stared at Zong mother, his cold laughter unceasing.

“Zhang Xu, you…”

Zong Yao was so angry she couldn’t speak. She hadn’t expected the opponent to say such inhumane things.

“Miss Yao’er, you are the woman that Young Master Situ of the Situ Household has taken a liking to. You should be standing with us. I advise you to think carefully about your actions!”

Zhang Xu said arrogantly, his expression indifferent.

Seeing the old man and Zhang Xu, Li Xiaobai also smiled. The cruel smile at the corner of the opponent’s mouth was exactly the same as Zhang Xu’s, as if they were cut from the same cloth, and obviously not good news.

He casually took out the contract he had signed with Zhang Xu before, and said lightly, “It seems that to the Zhang Family, this contract is nothing more than a piece of waste paper.”

“I didn’t expect the respected Zhang Family to dismiss the rules of Aolai Country. Since you’re so eager to be beaten, I’ll play along, but I hope you won’t send such rubbish again next time.”

Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently.

He stepped towards the direction of the arena.

“Good lad, quite daring, I want to see for myself just how talented you are!”

“After I cripple you, the Zong Family will be next!”

The old man chuckled sinisterly, and promptly followed.

“Young Master Li, you…”

Zongdao’s complexion also changed, as he had not anticipated that Li Xiaobai would be so presumptuously arrogant. After all, the opponent was a seasoned expert, a Nascent Soul entity, not someone easily dealt with!

“Don’t worry, Dad, the boss will definitely teach them a lesson!”

Zong Hu, the little brat, spoke with full confidence. In his eyes, Sister Ya Ya was the most formidable in all the world, and Li Xiaobai was the second.

“Yao’er, take Hu’er and hide in Ya’er’s room. If anything happens, let her take you both and run!”

Zongdao didn’t say much else and directly instructed Zong Yao.

…

On the platform, the Zhang elder had a smile on his lips, looking utterly confident in his victory.

He was well aware of his clan’s stance. It was common knowledge behind the scenes that Li Xiaobai was the Vice Leader’s man, but they could pretend to be oblivious, simply seeking to avenge their own younger generation. By severely injuring Li Xiaobai, they took the opportunity to probe the Vice Leader’s reaction.

These were the directives that had come from the Situ Household.

“Young Master Li, I have heard of your affairs. I hear that you caused a great disturbance in Central Province and even escaped from the hands of several old ancestors. Truly remarkable.”

“Today, the old man seeks to exchange a few moves with you, but fists and feet are blind. Should you accidentally sustain serious injuries, I hope you won’t bear any resentment.”

The elder spoke slowly, as a gigantic Primordial Spirit Phantom rose from the ground behind him, towering into the sky.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.”

Li Xiaobai nodded, speaking quite casually.

“Arrogant enough!”

“Jinling Stick Technique!”

The elder formed a Seal Spell with his hands, and the gigantic Primordial Spirit Phantom materialized a long stick, which it swung towards Li Xiaobai in a flurry of afterimages.

The sound of tearing through the air was shrill, and the presence was formidable.

“With the enhancement of Primordial Spirit Power, the Elder’s offensive has become even fiercer than before!”

“Indeed, with Primordial Spirit Power executing the stick technique, the power has at least doubled. Even cultivators of the same rank would find it strenuous to handle!”

“After all, this move was envisioned by the Vice Leader himself.”

The surrounding cultivators nodded repeatedly, watching the elder’s move. With the boost from Primordial Spirit Power, one could unleash an even stronger offensive, not to mention that the elder was now fully employing the stick technique with his Primordial Spirit.

Unless one also counters with a Primordial Spirit Phantom, there’s only submission left.

Witnessing the golden giant stick that continued to swell before his eyes, Li Xiaobai stood with his hands behind his back, neither dodging nor evading, allowing the heavy barrage of stick shadows to hammer down upon him.

[Attribute Points +1000…]

[Attribute Points +1000…]

Speaking of which, this old fellow’s execution of the stick technique does bear some resemblance to the Vice Leader, likely having observed the latter’s actions.

However, the level of cultivation strength is still too weak. These days, the Attribute Points provided by Nascent Soul Cultivators can’t satisfy my needs. The System is still short of several million Attribute Points, and only by engaging with Great Crossing Realm Cultivators can I rapidly accumulate them.

Li Xiaobai lightly patted the golden giant stick that had fallen onto his shoulder, his expression serene, “Old predecessor, you’re a bit too weak!”
