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

Chapter 894: Chapter 895: I’m very easy-going
 

“I am also in a hurry. I need to go to the coast right now, and I want to remind you all to wait for the next transport. Traveling with me wouldn’t be good for you,”

Li Xiaobai said indifferently.

“Bold words! Who are you to speak such arrogance?”

Mei Yisi’s eyebrows shot up, his gaze turning fierce. Waves of energy emanated from his body, unmistakably revealing the powerful aura of an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator.

He had always stayed within a remote city, wielding power and influence. Although he had heard of Li Xiaobai’s famous name, he had never seen his face; thus, he did not recognize the person on the stage.

“What are you, coming down here and kowtowing to Brother Mei for your errors? Brother Mei is magnanimous—generous enough not to quarrel over this with you!”

A disciple by his side shouted abruptly.

“I am Li Xiaobai. I hope you will make it easy for me and let me avoid having to take drastic measures,”

Li Xiaobai spoke calmly, with unrushed composure.

“Hmph, a nobody!”

“Wait, did you say your name is Li Xiaobai? Which Li Xiaobai?”

Mei Yisi sneered, but then he froze. His mission had been to capture a cultivator named Li Xiaobai. Could it really be the person right in front of him?

Upon closer inspection, the young man on the stage, dressed in white and cradling a sword, did indeed bear some resemblance to the person described in the rumors!

“I am the one you are looking for. You wanted to capture me, right? Here’s your chance to strike,”

Li Xiaobai said slowly, hands clasped behind his back.

In an instant, sweat slid down Mei Yisi’s forehead. Others might not know, but he was very clear; this Li Xiaobai was a legendary figure of the Sword Sect, said to be invincible among his peers and even capable of challenging those above his level. Elder Zhong’s disappearance from the Blade Sect was very likely at his hands.

He had accepted the mission merely wanting to throw his weight around and never expected to truly encounter this formidable foe!

Even someone at the Heavenly Immortal Realm had been defeated. With his cultivation, confronting him would be like serving himself up on a platter.

However, his scheming was unbeknownst to the sycophantic disciple beside him, who, mistaking Mei Yisi’s silence for anger, took it upon himself to teach this ignorant youth a lesson.

“It’s as if no effort was needed to find what I’ve been searching all over for. I can’t believe you are Li Xiaobai. You dare to provoke my Brother from the Blade Sect and even think of escaping under Brother Mei’s watch. You’re not getting away this time!”

The sycophantic disciple continued to rant, completely oblivious to Mei Yisi’s trembling legs, even as he drew his long blade from his waist and slashed at the figure on stage.

Li Xiaobai, hands still behind his back, did not dodge or flinch, allowing the blade’s light to strike him without causing any harm.

[Attribute Points +200,000…]

His cultivation was rather weak, the damage dealt was quite low.

Seeing his unharmed appearance, everyone below the stage was stunned, their pupils dilating in shock. To withstand a blade strike with his body, what kind of realm and cultivation was this?

“Stop!”

“Who told you to attack? You dogs dare to offend Young Master Li, seeking death!”

“I had no idea you were the Li Xiaobai. What a coincidence! I have always admired Brother Li’s experiences. As for today’s incident, I didn’t see anything. You are free to go,”

Mei Yisi slapped the sycophantic disciple, shattering his teeth and causing blood to flow freely. He then bowed respectfully to the figure on stage, his voice trembling, fearing that any displeasure could lead to his own demise.

“Brother Mei, why…”

The sycophantic follower covered his face, his eyes full of disbelief.

“Scram!”

Mei Yisi scolded again, and with a backhand slap, struck his face before turning around continuously signaling the disciple with her eyes.

The sycophant was completely sobered up this time, realizing that his senior brother simply wanted an excuse to send him away so that he could contact the Blade Sect masters to pass on the message!

He forced a look of grievance on his face, turned around dejectedly, and prepared to leave.

Li Xiaobai watched the scene before him with a cold eye. How could the little schemes of the people escape his notice? He stretched out his hand, took a Jade Gourd from his bosom, and spoke faintly, “Since you’ve come, then don’t leave.”

“Brother Li, we really won’t mention today’s incident to outsiders. You can rest assured,” said Mei Yisi, his face full of agony as he repeatedly waved his hands, looking sincerely fearful of making any move against Li Xiaobai.

“Your acting is too poor.”

“Fellow Daoist, please stay!”

Without even a glance, Li Xiaobai lightly tapped the mouth of the gourd, muttering to himself, and with a flash of emerald light, a group of Blade Sect cultivators instantly disappeared without a trace.

Then, flipping his wrist, he took out a Star of Earthly Explosion and tossed it directly into the gourd, sealed the opening, and in the endless space inside the gourd, the Star of Earthly Explosion expanded rapidly. A moment later, Li Xiaobai felt the gourd tremble in his hand, and a flash of blood-colored light above his head indicated his Sin Value had increased again.

“Sin Value: 320,000!”

These Blade Sect disciples were costly, each with only a few hundred merits above their heads, only adding twenty thousand to his Sin Value.

Blood-colored text floated above, terrifying the surrounding onlookers. They had only heard of such Sin Values in rumors, never seeing them with their own eyes. 320,000—how many people had he killed?

To think that such a demon head was truly standing before them made it feel somewhat unreal.

“The cultivators of the Eastern Continent are still too conservative. Even if they forsake the grind of life-and-death struggles to preserve their own merits, in the end, they neither enhance their strength much nor earn high merits, ending up with nothing.”

Li Xiaobai shook his head.

“The disciples of the Blade Sect are dead, whoever is in charge of the Formation at the coast, come forward quickly!”

Li Xiaobai looked around, speaking in concert with the still unsettled 320,000 Sin Value floating above his head, startling the people to step back in fear.

“Elder… Elder is in charge of activating the teleportation Formation.”

“Please, sir, calm down, Elder will activate the teleportation Formation now!”

In the crowd, a skinny old man tremblingly stepped forward, his fingers forming a spell and mumbling incantations to activate the Formation, his eyes cautiously darting toward Li Xiaobai, fearful of any sudden movement from this killer god.

“Hmm? What about the others? Weren’t you all in a rush earlier, why not teleport together?”

Li Xiaobai looked at the continuously retreating crowd, revealed a row of white teeth, smiling lightly, “Don’t worry now, although I did kill someone just now, I’m actually quite easygoing, why not go together?”

“No, no, please, after you, sir. We just remembered there’s still some unfinished business at home, we will teleport later.”

The crowd waved their hands hastily, internally rolling their eyes.

Easygoing?

You must have misunderstood that word.

“Truly a lovely group of people, understanding the virtues of courtesy and humility, with such pure customs.”

Li Xiaobai sighed as he disappeared within the light bursting from the Formation.
