I Don t Want to Get Hurt, So I ll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 500

Chapter 500: Chapter 501: No One Can Leave
Looking at Li Xiaobai’s unscathed appearance, the elder’s expression greatly changed, his attacks had no effect at all!

The golden cudgel, like hitting an endless ocean, didn’t stir up the slightest ripple.

“How is this possible? You can actually take my attacks!”

The elder’s face contorted, the huge Primordial Spirit Phantom behind him flipped its wrist, and with a horizontal sweep of the golden longsword, struck again towards Li Xiaobai’s brow.

“Bang!”

Broken stones scattered on the platform, cracks interweaved in every direction, and a formidable presence swept across the entire venue.

[Attribute Points +2000…]

[Attribute Points +2000…]

Li Xiaobai still did not dodge or hide, shouldering this wave of attacks.

His expression was calm and natural.

“Elder, that’s not very effective.”

The elder’s eyes almost bulged out of his head; his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation level had no effect in front of his opponent. He was unable to make him budge even when Li stood still and let him attack. What kind of strength was this?

At this age, this stage, it seemed that only those freakishly talented cultivators could match him, right?

It was rumored that the youngest son of the Situ Household had reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage at a young age. Could it be that this young man here had also achieved great success in cultivation at a young age, just like him?

Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could there be so many geniuses in this world? There must be some kind of protective treasure on him.

“Hehe, boy, your reliance must be on some treasure, right? It is indeed remarkable to withstand my attacks, but against the techniques of the Primordial Spirit, merely a treasure won’t be enough!”

The elder formed a Seal Spell with his hands, the huge Primordial Spirit Phantom behind him turned into a streak of light and merged into his brow.

An unparalleled mighty pressure suddenly descended.

“Annihilation Finger!”

The elder’s fingers joined together like a sword, and a massive black finger appeared in the void, slamming down on Li Xiaobai with the force of a mountain.

The entire platform was inching apart under this pressure, with many cultivators around it retreating in haste, daring not to come close, for fear of being affected even in the slightest.

“This is the Annihilation Finger!”

“The Zhang Family’s forbidden technique. It is said that once touched by even a hint of the black energy, the Primordial Spirit will be continuously consumed until it completely dissipates!”

“I didn’t expect Elder Zhang to use this move. It seems that Li Xiaobai is indeed a very troublesome person.”

“Hehe, no matter how troublesome, in the face of our clan’s forbidden technique, he only has death to await!”

The Zhang Family members sneered. They were no strangers to the Annihilation Finger. The Zhang Family’s ability to dominate in this region was dependent on this technique. Maybe the Zhang Family Patriarch’s cultivation level wasn’t the highest in this region.

But the Zhang Family’s Annihilation Finger was something no one dared to receive. The reason was simple: even a high-level cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage would suffer great loss in Primordial Spirit Power upon being hit by this move. A decrease in power was a minor issue; the real cruelty was the damage to the foundation.

After all, Primordial Spirit Power is the most difficult to cultivate. Once damaged, it may become a lifelong regret.

Excitement flickered in Zhang Xu’s eyes. He could already foresee the painful struggle of Li Xiaobai.

Once the Annihilation Finger was released, who could contend with it!

“Boy, die right here!”

Elder Zhang’s eyes shone with madness, the Primordial Spirit Power surged, and the pitch-black finger struck Li Xiaobai’s brow unerringly.

Li Xiaobai still did not dodge or hide, letting the finger point right at his brow.

[Attribute Points +3000…]

[Attribute Points +3000…]

“This move is quite good, especially for a Nascent Soul Cultivator,”

Li Xiaobai nodded and, ignoring the gigantic finger pressing down on his head, said with a light smile.

“This…”

Not to mention Elder Zhang, but also everyone in the audience was staring agape. To take a soul-targeted attack head-on, and still be able to talk and laugh — what kind of cultivation level did this person have?

“This is impossible, what trick have you used? How can you block my attack without a scratch?”

“Even if you were a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator, you couldn’t have simply taken my Annihilation Finger and come out unharmed!”

The elder’s pupils contracted, his eyes flashing with fear. It was only now that he truly realized the young man standing before him was by no means ordinary; he might indeed be capable of rivaling those peerless talents!

Zongdao and his wife were also stunned. Had their son actually brought back a real expert?

Who exactly was this Li Xiaobai?

With such a cultivation realm, his power was unfathomable. At the very least, he must be at the Divinity Transformation Stage, right?

Even being a Tribulation Crossing Stage powerhouse could not be ruled out. Such an exceptional young talent was a must-have connection!

“Wife, when we get back, let Yao’er get closer to Young Master Li,”

Zongdao said earnestly.

“Absolutely, one Yao’er is not enough. Once Ya Ya leaves seclusion, let the two sisters get close to him. A prodigy like this has limitless potential; we must form a good relationship!”

The woman nodded, her expression equally serious.

On the stage, the old man’s figure flickered as his internal cultivation technique ran wildly, and he suddenly launched an attack at Li Xiaobai.

With his hands behind his back, Li Xiaobai let the elder use all his tricks, standing unshaken and as steady as Mount Tai.

Attribute Points were continually rising, albeit still at a slow rate. The points provided by Nascent Soul Cultivators were merely a drop in the bucket.

With a flip of his wrist, a longsword appeared in his hand. Li Xiaobai no longer wanted to dawdle. Today, he was still facing a bunch of weaklings who were just probing; the real power behind the scenes had yet to show up, and it was meaningless to continue the stalemate.

Elder Zhang’s heart jumped, and his figure swiftly retreated to the edge of the stage. He cupped his fists in respect and said, “Young Master Li is truly a heroic youth; I must admit I’ve misjudged. Having witnessed your divine might today, I am thoroughly convinced and concede defeat. The matter with Young Master Zhang will be overlooked from now on, never to be pursued again!”

With that, he leaped down from the stage.

Li Xiaobai was speechless inwardly, thinking this old man had indeed taken shamelessness to the extreme. When he himself did not fight back, the opponent had used all kinds of moves joyfully.

But as soon as he drew his sword, the old man turned tail without a second word. This behavior reminded him of an old beggar he once knew.

“Elder, you think you can hit and run? Where in the world does such a good thing happen?”

“Today none of you will leave!”

With a casual slash of the longsword in the air, in just an instant, whether it was Elder Zhang on stage or the cultivators below, all felt their bodies out of control, kneeling with their hands raised high, rushing toward the direction where Li Xiaobai stood.

A few breaths later, the stage was filled with kneeling cultivators, all with baffled faces, not understanding what had happened.

“What’s going on, why am I kneeling?”

“I don’t know, my body won’t respond, and I can’t mobilize any spiritual power. Is this Li Xiaobai’s cultivation technique?”

“It’s like sorcery, one sword made us all bow down; what level of cultivation is this?”
