I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 482: 483: The Wealth-Bringing Child

Chapter 482 -483: The Wealth-Bringing Child

“Puh!”

Elder Mo coughed up blood, like a kite with its string cut, he was drawn towards Li Xiaobai, his knees weakening, and he knelt firmly on the ground.

His heart was struck with turmoil, just a moment ago, as he used all his might to perform his Cultivation Technique, the Spiritual Power in his Dantian was suddenly interrupted, causing serious backlash in his body. If not managed in time, he feared it could damage his foundation.

What level of cultivation did Li Xiaobai possess to be able to forcibly control even someone at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage full completion like him?

“Sorcery, it’s sorcery!” freēwēbnovel.com

“Why did even those from the Situ Household kneel? Isn’t Situ Renjie also a Transcendence Tribulation Stage expert?”

“Forget Situ Renjie, even Elder Mo knelt!”

“What level of cultivation does that Li Xiaobai have, and what sorcery is he using?”

The cultivators were shocked and dismayed, no matter how they struggled, they couldn’t escape the fate of kneeling, and could only sit submissively on the ground with their hands raised high, bowing reverently.

Zong Yao at this moment was also stunned. She originally thought she was on the same side as Li Xiaobai, and that he would protect her from Elder Mo’s attacks. However, she found herself kneeling just like everyone else, unable to move an inch.

Could it be that the boss hit even her?

“Elder Mo, what’s going on, why on earth are we kneeling!”

Situ Renjie roared with a voice full of fury and humiliation. From a young age, he had only received reverence, anyone who dared show disrespect towards him would face the annihilation of their entire family, according to the rules of the Situ Household’s teachings.

But now, he found himself kneeling helplessly before that young man, unable to move, a humiliation beyond words.

“Young Master, this youngster is tricky, I can’t see his true strength, it must be that sword in his hand causing this!”

Elder Mo said with a harsh gleam in his eyes. On his own, Li Xiaobai couldn’t possibly have achieved this, the most likely source of this power was the longsword in his hand.

Although it seemed, from its appearance, to be an ordinary longsword, who among these Transcendence Tribulation Stage experts would really fight with a bunch of scrap iron?

This longsword, must be some kind of treasure, ancient and grand in aura, with a restrained charisma and an unassuming appearance, but exceptionally extraordinary in reality.

“You dare to strike at the Situ Household of the Eastern Sea, you won’t have a place in Aolai Country any longer!”

Situ Renjie said with a distorted face.

“Heh, bragging, just keep talking, no matter how powerful the Situ Household is, in the end, you are the one kneeling here.”

Li Xiaobai got to his feet, walking towards everyone with a laugh.

“What do you think you’re doing? I’m warning you, don’t mess around, the Eastern Sea does not allow private fights! And it’s not just the Punishment Hall of the Eastern Sea, even the elders of my clan won’t let you off!”

Situ Renjie instinctively began to panic, the feeling of losing control over his body left him with the sensation of being fish on the chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.

His body not under control, the Spiritual Power in his Dantian felt like it didn’t belong to him, and indeed, under these circumstances, he was no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

“Heh, do you know there’s something called automatic payment for life-saving money?”

Li Xiaobai chuckled slyly, smoothly and naturally removed the Space Ring from Situ Renjie’s hand.

Then he took out a Jade Ruyi and threw it to Zong Yao’s feet: “This is yours, I always keep clear accounts in my dealings.”

“As for you all, consider the Space Rings in your hands as your life-saving money.”

“You dare!”

Elder Mo’s face twisted viciously as he howled.

“Young man, my Situ Household is also considered a noble lineage in Aolai Country, by bullying us like this, aren’t you afraid of retaliation?”

“Not to mention anything else, just leaking your whereabouts and having the elders from various clans in Central Province issue a kill order is enough trouble to keep you busy!”

Elder Mo’s complexion was icy cold. As a top expert of the Situ Household, he was always treated with the utmost respect wherever he went, and had never before been subjected to such treatment.

In his Space Ring, he had stored nearly half a lifetime’s savings and family wealth. If it were to be taken away, he even had the heart to cripple his own cultivation level.

“Hehe, it seems you did not listen to my words. The wanted order from the elders of the various clans is but a worthless scrap of paper to me. I have never taken it seriously.”

Li Xiaobai smiled and stretched out his hand to take Elder Mo’s Space Ring from his fingers. Then, after searching his body, he took several more Space Rings.

The reason this old thing was acting so nervous was just to mislead me into thinking he had only one ring, a sacrifice to protect the chariot—a strategy I have seen all too many times.

Having cultivated to this point, living for at least several decades, which cultivator would display their emotions so openly on their face?

He definitely had an ulterior motive.

“You!”

Elder Mo’s composure completely shattered. Li Xiaobai had taken almost all of his wealth, not leaving him a single hair.

Li Xiaobai shook his head. There would always be cultivators who liked to play the role of the wealth dispensers, and of course, he would not refuse, accepting everything they had.

The rest of the onlookers were the same. Everyone present, one by one, was completely cleaned out.

“Young Master Li, this isn’t our fault, ah!”

“Indeed, the Situ Household troubling you has nothing to do with us, right?”

The cultivators made pained expressions, their hearts bleeding. The modest wealth they had struggled so desperately to accumulate had all turned into money for their lives.

“When an avalanche occurs, no single snowflake is innocent. Faced with such injustice, you simply stood by and watched. That, in itself, is a sin. Today I have taken your blood money, and I will not trouble you any further in the future,”

Li Xiaobai said indifferently.

The cultivators: “…”

It was the first time they had ever seen someone describe a robbery in such an elegant and refined manner. Their logic was solid, and they even felt there was some truth to it…

“It seems Young Master Li is fully intent on becoming an enemy of the Situ Household. Very well, we will remember today’s incident. In the future, it will be returned a hundredfold!”

Situ Renjie spoke slowly. He had no way to handle the other party, but that did not mean he was scared. The Household was filled with countless experts, and his own elder brother was a prodigy among prodigies, not someone that a mere talent emerging from the Barbaric Lands could compare to.

“Scram.”

Li Xiaobai sheathed his longsword, with his hands clasped behind his back, and said dismissively.

He had achieved his objective. He had made an enemy of what seemed to be a significant force before even entering Aolai Country. He wouldn’t have to worry about Attribute Points in the future.

“Good, young man, I will remember you,”

Elder Mo said with a cold tone, his eyes flashing with a chill. He dared not make a big scene here, but as soon as the other party set foot on the land of Aolai Country, he would have ways to make him wish he were dead.

“Let’s go.”

Situ Renjie took Zong Yao in his arms and gave Li Xiaobai a deep look, preparing to leave. Today’s events—he was not willing to let them go so easily.

“Brother Situ, you can go by yourself. Today’s events have greatly disappointed me. I didn’t expect the Situ Household to operate in such a manner. It’s better if we see less of each other in the future.”

Zong Yao struggled free from Situ Renjie’s grasp, her face full of anger as she spoke.

She bowed to Li Xiaobai and then left without looking back.

Situ Renjie’s cold gaze grew even chillier: “That wretched woman!”
