Chapter 527: 528
“This…”
“What sorcery have you used to block even the breath of chaos!”
Uncle Ying’s face was filled with disbelief. He was wielding chaos energy that was unique to the Eastern Sea, a kind of energy that could crush a mountain even in traces. It had taken colossal effort to barely infuse a hint of this chaos energy into his fist.
It was meant to be a powerful weapon, but in front of Li Xiaobai, it seemed to be utterly useless.
What level of treasure did the other party have on them to be able to rival a Great Crossing Realm cultivator?
He couldn’t believe that a junior cultivator would possess the cultivation level of the Great Crossing Realm; it must be due to some extraordinary treasure the other party possessed.
The experts from the major families were also stunned. Although they did not think highly of Uncle Ying’s character, they were very familiar with his strength as an old adversary. Uncle Ying was, after all, a second-layer expert of the Great Crossing Realm. Logically, a single palm strike from him should have spelled death for any Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator.
But at this moment, Li Xiaobai was completely unharmed, indifferent to the attacks. What sort of power did this represent?
“Hehe, it seems Uncle Ying has not recognized the gap in our strengths?”
“A mere Great Crossing Realm cannot harm me. If you wish to invite me to visit the Situ Family, then have your Family Head come over personally. Mere foot soldiers do not have the qualifications to summon me.”
Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently.
“Arrogant fool! You are nothing but a junior prodigy. No matter how strong you are, there is a limit to your strength. Do not think I am afraid to harm you just because the Family Head has extended an invitation. I have been holding back to avoid damaging your Primordial Spirit, but if you take my restraint for disrespect, then you are gravely mistaken.”
“Today, your cultivation level, I shall break it!”
Uncle Ying erupted in a fury, with all his pent-up anger being unleashed. The chaos energy materialized, and his fists, as huge as mountains, fiercely struck towards Li Xiaobai.
[Attribute Points +10000…]
[Attribute Points +15000…]
[Attribute Points +20000…]
Li Xiaobai, with hands behind his back, allowed Uncle Ying to initiate the onslaught, standing firm and immovable.
“I’ve always said that Boss Li wouldn’t have any problem, Uncle Zong need not worry anymore.”
Zong Ya said with a smile. To easily procure a magical cultivation treasure like Tangneng First-class, how could his own cultivation be weak?
“What exactly is Li Xiaobai’s cultivation level?”
“So secretive, and a young expert personally invited back by the Vice Leader, why would he choose to stay in a place like Aolai Country?”
Dongfang Mingyue frowned slightly, the scene before him presenting a tricky situation. Regardless of whether it was with the help of a magic treasure or not, the strength that the other party was displaying was enough to contend with the Great Crossing Realm.
This meant that in any future discussions about alliances, the status of the two parties might need to be swapped.
“This boy has a big secret, even Uncle Ying can’t take him down, no wonder he’s wanted by the elders of Central Province’s various clans; he truly is extraordinary.”
“The Situ Family must have seen the secret on him to make their move.”
“Then we…”
“Don’t forget what the Great Family Head has instructed us—the stance of Aolai Country towards Li Xiaobai is to befriend, not to make a mistake!”
Several old men exchanged a few words and instantly reached a consensus.
They could not determine Li Xiaobai’s cultivation, but even if it was due to a magic treasure, it was still a part of his strength. At this point, his strength was enough to rival that of the Great Crossing Realm!
They would need to make some subtle adjustments to their next actions.
“Elder, take a look, Young Master Li is making a move!”
At that moment, Li Xiaobai, standing on the platform, turned his wrist and drew a longsword, ignoring Uncle Ying’s offensive and slowly raised the sword high above his head.
“Is he a sword cultivator?”
“That can’t be right!”
A trace of confusion flickered through the eyes of the Nangong Family Head; he didn’t sense the presence of Sword Intent from the other party.
However, the expression on the faces of the disciples and elders in the arena was one of shock and panic as they involuntarily stepped backward, watching Li Xiaobai’s movements on the stage.
“If the Family Head makes a move, should we hide first?”
“That wouldn’t be good, kneeling before the Family Head isn’t too much of a disgrace.”
A flicker of terror passed through Uncle Ying’s eyes as he instantly retreated explosively, unsure of Li Xiaobai’s strength. Li Xiaobai had withstood his strongest attack with just his body, with no defense. This was a scene he had only witnessed from the Family Head!
“Kid, do you really think you can hurt me?”
Uncle Ying’s face wore a vicious expression as he stared intently at Li Xiaobai, his vigilance at its peak.
Yet, the response he received was a bland chop; with a gentle wave of his longsword, there was neither suppression nor majestic momentum nor even Sword Intent— as if he were merely casually swinging the sword.
Uncle Ying was flummoxed.
But the next second, his complexion changed. The tempest-like Spiritual Power inside him suddenly became calm as glass, and his vigorously running Cultivation Technique abruptly came to a halt. His Spiritual Power circulation was blocked, and he spewed out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, his body uncontrollably rushed toward Li Xiaobai, kneeling down with hands raised high as if in worship.
Firmly pinned at the feet of Li Xiaobai.
The cultivators around the platform were also forcibly controlled at the same moment, their bodies shaking, and the next second, they were prostrating on the platform, offering homage as if participating in some ancient ritual.
“What’s going on, why did I kneel down?”
“I can’t control my body, and I can’t feel the Spiritual Power inside at all. Is this Li Xiaobai’s doing?”
Nangong Wan and the others were pale. With one strike from Li Xiaobai, they had all knelt down— what kind of move was this?
They were the top talents of Aolai Country, when had they ever knelt before anyone?
Is Li Xiaobai using this opportunity to intimidate them?
Could it be that he was aware of their intentions all along?
“I’ve long heard of Demon Sword Li Xiaobai, but never of him being able to immobilize Great Crossing Realm Cultivators!”
“Just what is Li Xiaobai’s cultivation level, that even I at the Third Layer of Great Crossing Realm can’t mobilize my Spiritual Power? Is he truly just a peerless youth?”
“Realization, perhaps, he does not rely on Magic Treasures, his cultivation level has already surpassed ours. That is why he was not afraid of Situ Ying’s assault!”
“I knew it! How could the Vice Leader bring back a mere peerless youth? And why would such a youth provoke the ancient ancestors of Central Province to hunt him down? This man must be a disguised senior powerhouse who has come to Aolai Country for some undisclosed purpose!”
“Could it be that the Vice Leader also harbors ambitions for power, and Li Xiaobai is the helper he brought in?”
The patriarchs of the several great families all wore expressions of shock, as if they had uncovered some enormous secret, their gazes filled with deep wariness.
Li Xiaobai displayed his cultivation level, causing everyone in the arena to kneel, leaving his intentions clear— it was an intimidation tactic, a show of force in front of these ancient families, thus avoiding many unnecessary troubles.
