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

Chapter 528: Chapter 529: Clean the Latrine for Me
The prominent families today came with abruptness, and despite their friendly demeanor, their strong purposefulness was unmistakable. At this moment, Li Xiaobai is undoubtedly giving them a warning, alerting everyone not to use their power to oppress others.

The other cultivators who knelt didn’t feel as much psychological pressure; they had already knelt twice, and some even three times before Li Xiaobai, growing accustomed to it.

Even during the moment the other party drew their longsword, quite a few cultivators conscientiously padded their knees with cotton, just to make the kneeling more comfortable.

Li Xiaobai was speechless at this, these people had really “kneeled-out” experience—it was quite laughably pitiful.

“You… You’re not a Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator, you’re in the Mahayana Realm!”

“No, your cultivation level is far above mine, it’s impossible for you to be a young prodigy. Who on earth are you, and why are you targeting the Situ Household with such intent?”

Uncle Ying’s complexion went pale with shock, his heart sent reeling by overwhelming waves, only now grasping how vast the gap between them stood.

With a casual strike of his sword, he didn’t have the slightest strength to resist, only to surrender and kneel. This level of power was far beyond his imagination, and it wasn’t only him—other cultivators from the three major families of the Great Crossing Realm had knelt as well. Subduing four Great Crossing Realm Experts with a single sword—one wonders if even the Patriarch of the Situ Family could achieve such a feat?

Who exactly was this Li Xiaobai?

“I am Li Xiaobai, who has come to Aolai Country with the wish to meet the prodigies of the Eastern Sea.”

“Today is not about targeting anyone in particular. Uncle Ying, have you forgotten that it was the Patriarch Situ who initiated this conflict?”

Li Xiaobai chuckled, his wrist turning as he took out a small bottle, pouring out two elixirs and unceremoniously stuffing them into the other’s mouth.

As the elixir went down, Uncle Ying’s aura dissipated as rapidly as an ebbing tide.

Mahayana Realm second layer.

Transcendance Tribulation Stage ninth layer.

Transcendance Tribulation Stage first layer.

…

Qi Cultivation Stage first layer.

Ordinary person!

In just a few breaths’ time, Uncle Ying went from a top-notch Great Crossing Realm Expert to an ordinary person without any cultivation level.

“You… you’ve destroyed my cultivation level!”

“How dare you do this!”

“My Situ Family will not let you go, we will surely tear you to pieces!”

Uncle Ying’s eyes instantly reddened, the flames of anger rushing to his head, wishing he could tear the person before him apart.

To reach the cultivation level of the Mahayana Realm, he had spent who knows how long, enduring countless life and death battles. Now, all his hard work and effort had vanished in a flash.

The Qi around him was in chaos and his state of mind unstable, teetering on the edge of falling into the evil path. But now that Uncle Ying had lost all his cultivation, it was impossible for him to even consider embracing the path of evil.

At most, his personality would greatly alter, but that couldn’t change the fact that he had become an ordinary person.

“Heh, the Zhang Family Patriarch said the same, but what of it? If you don’t reach the Half-step Human Immortal Realm, you are merely ants in the end.”

“In my eyes, there is no difference between the Great Crossing Realm and the Qi Cultivation Stage—they are all minor characters who will kneel with a single sword strike.”

Li Xiaobai’s expression remained indifferent as he walked slowly up to Situ Renjie.

“Young Master Situ, after several days, you are kneeling before me again. Does it remind you of anything?”

“Young Master Li, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have caused trouble in the Zong Family, and I certainly shouldn’t have harbored inappropriate thoughts towards the Miss of the Zong Family. Please be magnanimous, Young Master Li, and let me go as if I were just passing wind.”

“As long as Young Master Li is willing to spare me, I, Situ Renjie, will never be your enemy again!”

Terrified to the core, Situ Renjie no longer had time to wonder why Li Xiaobai was so formidable. The fate that befell Uncle Ying had frightened him out of his wits, just a single small pill causing a Great Crossing Realm Expert to lose all his cultivation.

This method was simply horrifying to hear of.

He still had a bright future ahead of him, with the Situ Household waiting for him to inherit it. He absolutely couldn’t fall like this.

“If I and the seniors here weren’t present today, who else could have spared the Zong Family?”

“There’s a retribution for good and evil. If repentance was useful, what would be the purpose of the Enforcement Hall?”

Li Xiaobai said with a cold expression, grabbed Situ Renjie by the throat, and forcibly fed him the elixir without any explanation.

“Don’t worry, this elixir will only dissolve your cultivation and won’t have any other side effects. Take this opportunity to re-cultivate from scratch and reflect on life.”

A few breaths later, heart-wrenching screams of agony echoed throughout the arena.

“Li Xiaobai, I will kill you!”

“How dare you treat me like this, my father will not let you go. So what if you have the Vice Leader’s protection? My Situ Household has the backing of the Third Leader, and furthermore, we have the support of nearly half of the family forces in Aolai Country, you’re dead for sure!”

“I will ensure you have no grave to be buried in, and everyone in Li Mansion must die with me!”

Situ Renjie’s face twisted with resentment, he bellowed out in rage.

His entire life was over, all his beautiful dreams for the future had burst like mere bubbles.

Li Xiaobai was the root cause of all sins; this man must die!

If he could make it back to his family, he would surely ask his father to take action and flatten the entire Li Mansion!

“Heh, do you think you can still make it back?”

Li Xiaobai said indifferently, as he administered the elixir to the incoming cultivators from the Situ Family one by one, all losing their cultivation and turning into mortals.

As he passed by the cultivators from the three major families, Old Man Nangong was the first to lose his composure and said with a forced smile, “Young Master Li, we haven’t offended you either, today we truly came to genuinely celebrate a birthday. Our proposed collaboration was also based on mutually beneficial terms.”

“Old man, coveting the formula in my hands is also considered mutually beneficial?”

Li Xiaobai questioned with interest.

“Coveting is one thing, but I wanted to purchase it through proper means, definitely not by forcibly seizing it like the Situ Family, I am an honest person,” Old Man Nangong chuckled.

“This fact, I am well aware of, otherwise, all of you would not even have the chance to speak right now,” Li Xiaobai nodded and put away his longsword, then he turned to the Elders and instructed, “Among the people from the Situ Family who came here today, leave one to go back to deliver the message, and capture the rest. They are to clean the latrines of Li Mansion!”

“Understood!”

“Got it!”

“Leave it to me, everything will be perfectly handled, you just relax!”

The Elders were overjoyed beyond measure. Li Xiaobai’s strength had once again refreshed their perspectives. They no longer pondered why someone so young could possess such cultivation. The only thing on their minds was this:

Their new Family Head had the power to crush Great Crossing Realm Cultivators. With the protection of such a formidable figure, the rise of their family was just around the corner!

No need to worry about threats from the Situ Family anymore, they could now walk proudly in this territory!
