I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense-Chapter 196: 197 Double Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch

“Li Xiaobai, this is the Confucian Killing Formation. If you seal your cultivation level and willingly hand over the secrets of the Tangneng First-class, I, the King, will spare your life!” Ouyang Di laughed heartily.

“Your Majesty, time and again I have offered you opportunities, yet you seem intent on courting death. Well, it seems I, Li Xiaobai, shall have to oblige you.”

A cold light flashed in Li Xiaobai’s eyes; the fragment must be in this great hall. First, he would kill Ouyang Di, then search for it.

Flipping his wrist, a longsword appeared in his hand, slowly being raised above his head.

Ouyang Shuanger’s expression turned bitter, and she closed her eyes. She knew that once this sword came down, everyone present would be doomed, just like that day in the Tianbei Secret Realm; no one would be spared.

She wanted to advise against this, but her royal father was like a man possessed, obsessed with capturing Li Xiaobai. It was all her eldest sister’s doing; had it not been for her poisonous words before their father, he wouldn’t have been so easily convinced that Li Xiaobai was merely a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

“Li Xiaobai, don’t overexert yourself. If you hand over the secret of the Tangneng First-class, I, in my authority, promise you your life,” said the woman behind the curtain.

“Giggle, and who the hell are you? A mere hiding, tail-showing rat, yet you dare to be arrogant in front of your lord Ji Wuqing?”

“Kid, swing your sword. Take her down!”

Ji Wuqing burst forth in fury, for it hated people showing off in its presence the most. f𝐫𝗲eweb𝗻o𝐯el.𝚌o𝗺

“You’re given a face yet you want no face. Don’t say I didn’t give you an opportunity. In this world, there are some people you simply can’t afford to provoke!”

Ouyang Di formed a Seal Spell with his hands, and the light from the Formation within the great hall surged violently. In the void, a blood-colored shadow transformed into a dense blood mist that merged into the Formation, a ferocious aura sweeping across the entire place.

The Formation began to operate in full-swing. The ground cracked inch by inch, and tables, chairs, and benches were reduced to powder.

Li Xiaobai chuckled softly, and the longsword in his hand swung slowly downward.

Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch!

In an instant, Ouyang Di’s face drastically changed. He felt the vast Spiritual Power within him being forcibly suppressed in a moment, and the Cultivation Technique he was wielding was aggressively halted.

At the same time, a strong impulse to catch the sword surged in his heart.

He involuntarily charged toward Li Xiaobai, knelt on both knees, raised his hands high and caught the longsword firmly in his hands.

Most critically, he had charged toward the center of the Formation. Now that the Formation was fully activated, with his body unable to perform any movement technique, he couldn’t hold out for long at all!

The rest of the cultivators did the same, charging uncontrollably toward the core of the Formation. Their faces were filled with horror: “Sword Imprisonment, the Demon’s Wicked Sword, it’s that Li Xiaobai who’s been causing such a stir recently!”

“I have a third of the cultivation of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and even I can be controlled?”

Ouyang Di’s eyes were filled with shock. How powerful must one be to control even those in the Tribulation Crossing stage?

Even the prodigies of Central Province couldn’t possibly do this, could they?

The curtain stirred, and a beautiful woman let out a cry as she, too, rushed toward Li Xiaobai like a gust of wind, kneeling down and firmly fixing herself at the very center of the Formation.

“What is happening?”

“How can I be pinned down, when I am but a prodigy? How could I possibly be subdued by him!” complained the beautiful woman in disbelief. She struggled frantically in her mind, but her body couldn’t move an inch.

The affair of Li Xiaobai was known to them through the Immortal Spirit Daily, yet none had imagined he could control them—how could a young genius possibly subdue long-standing powerhouses?

“A mere Tribulation Crossing cultivation level doesn’t catch my eye. You’re all nothing but frogs at the bottom of a well. If the old monsters of Zhenyuan Country were revived, perhaps I would have a thing or two to worry about. As for you? Just two words: random slaughter,” Xiaobai stated indifferently.

The moment the sword made contact with Ouyang Di, he received a prompt from the chat group.

[Achievement: Trouble Maker (6/108).]

[Blood Sacrifice Fragment: 2.]

Ouyang Di’s Space Ring released two inconspicuous streams of light that shot into Li Xiaobai’s forehead.

[Attribute Points+10000…]

[Attribute Points+10000…]

Two fragments remained.

“Heh heh, when I roamed the universe, none of you had even been born yet, mere Transcendance Tribulation Stages, only in this remote corner can you be so complacent!”

Ji Wuqing said with a mocking expression.

Ouyang Di felt panic inside. The other party was right; he truly couldn’t move. Not even a little, as long as that sword was there, he had to keep kneeling on the ground, unable to do anything.

Passively enduring the torture of the Formation, his flesh rapidly dissolved in a time visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the bodies of many cultivators who rushed over uncontrollably cracked and blood splattered everywhere.

“My body!”

“Your Majesty, quickly stop the Slaughter Formation!”

“This humble official’s cultivation level is too low, I can’t hold on much longer!”

“Li Xiaobai is also in the core of the Slaughter Formation, why is he unaffected?”

The nobility screamed and shouted, hoping to get a response. Their cultivation levels were even more vulnerable than those in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage; they couldn’t withstand the running Slaughter Formation at all, as their bodies disintegrated piece by piece.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Ouyang Di had already been controlled and couldn’t make any movements.

Moreover, as the king of a nation, every action was closely related to the kingdom’s fate. This kneeling dissipated almost half of the Dragon Qi that had accumulated above the Imperial City in an instant. The combined kneeling of several princesses and Ouyang Di’s couple almost eradicated more than half of Zhenyuan Country’s qi luck.

For a long time to come, Zhenyuan Country would be greatly weakened!

Ouyang Di was filled with fear and roared loudly, “Supreme ones, Wuhua, someone protect me!”

Several figures exploded outside the palace, transforming into streaks of light rushing straight towards Li Xiaobai.

“How dare you! You made the King, the Queen Mother, and the various princesses and ministers of Zhenyuan Country kneel down!”

“Li Xiaobai, right? No matter what powerful force is backing you, today you’re undoubtedly going to die!”

The several attendants, upon hearing Ouyang Di’s call, immediately rushed into the hall, and seeing the scene inside, their faces were filled with rage. The ruler of the nation had actually knelt down—what a humiliation!

They had already sensed the rapid disappearance of the Dragon Qi within the Imperial City, and the kingdom’s fate was swiftly fading.

Li Xiaobai must be killed quickly!

“Don’t come near him, he has the Demon’s Wicked Sword which can control anything, fight from a distance!”

Ouyang Di roared.

But it was already too late.

“Oh, there are still some that slipped through the net. You must be the several attendants of Zhenyuan Country, right? You’ve brought me some good heads, saving me quite a bit of time.”

Li Xiaobai’s wrist flicked, and another longsword appeared in his left hand, casually waving it towards the direction of the rushing attendants.

In an instant, the divine light flowing around the attendants dissipated like melting snow, and their bodies uncontrollably charged towards Li Xiaobai, knees hitting the ground, hands raised high, firmly kneeling at the feet of Li Xiaobai.

“What the hell…”

“What’s this? You can control someone with a cultivation level of the fourth layer of Tribulation Crossing?”

“What exactly is this sword?”
