Chapter 512: Chapter 512: 513: Defeated with One Move

In the void, the Yin and Yang Qi circulated, piercing through the heavens.

Clasping his fists, he enveloped the entire arena with Yin Yang Graphite, bringing down a formidable oppressive force that caused the platform to crack inch by inch as the old man leaned over and whispered in Li Xiaobai’s ear.

“Heh, kid, you’re quite arrogant, but you probably don’t even know that you’ve been drugged, do you? I’m not afraid to tell you, you’ve ingested a Binding Pill. Your Spiritual Power is like a quagmire, you simply can’t muster it. You can only obediently accept your death!”

The old man’s sinister laughter rang out as he gently placed a hand on the crown of Li Xiaobai’s head.

“Kid, in your next life, be sure to grow an extra eye when you reincarnate. After all, there’s a type of person in this world you just can’t afford to provoke. The secrets you’re hiding will be passed down by me.”

Flexing his finger, a jet-black Spiritual Power leaked out, seeping into Li Xiaobai’s brain as the old man prepared to search his soul.

A cultivator who couldn’t use his cultivation level was nothing more than a helpless victim to his assault.

The void trembled as the robust Primodial Spirit Power swept across, pressing down on Li Xiaobai’s Primordial Spirit.

However, in the next moment, he froze. The Cultivation Technique he applied with his hand grew stronger, but there was no reaction whatsoever. Li Xiaobai still stood unharmed on the spot, smiling at him.

What’s going on?

[Attribute Points +2000…]

Li Xiaobai smiled and said, “Elder Brother Zhang, that strike was a bit weak.”

“Audacious!”

The old man’s complexion changed, his Spiritual Power surged to the sky, and his five fingers turned to steel as he stabbed directly at Li Xiaobai’s brow.

Still no response.

[Attribute Points +3000…]

“Heh, that move was a bit stronger than the previous one, but it’s still quite weak.”

Li Xiaobai shook his head and chuckled. The old man’s pupils suddenly contracted, the instinctive realization dawning on him that something was amiss.

With one hand, he evolved the Yin and Yang Qi and smashed down his fist viciously towards the other’s chest.

“Bang!”

The powerful energy rampage, the arena exploded into flying rubble, stirring up a storm, yet Li Xiaobai still stood perfectly fine in his original place.

The old man, shocked, exclaimed, “How is this possible? You should be dead by now!”

“How can a mere Spirit Realm Cultivator kill me?”

“Elder Brother Zhang, you worry too much.”

Li Xiaobai said lightly, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

“Nonsense, how can a junior cultivator withstand my assault!”

“Yin and Yang Qi, suppress him for me!”

The old man, furiously thunderous, struck out as a colossal Primodial Spirit Phantom appeared behind him. The black and white Yin and Yang Qi alternately flowed, and with a Seal Spell, a massive grinding disc in the void slowly pressed down upon Li Xiaobai.

Rumbling blasts of thunder rolled across the void, intending to grind Li Xiaobai to nothing.

[Attribute Points +3000…]

[Attribute Points +4000…]

[Attribute Points +4000…]

This must be the opponent’s trump card, but because his cultivation level was too weak, the Attribute Points provided were sadly too few.

Indeed, cultivators of such low rank could no longer pose a challenge to him, and only encounters with Great Crossing Realm Culturators could pique his interest.

“Elder Brother Zhang, I think that’s about enough,” he said. “Your weakness is your cultivation level is too low, so it’s my turn to enlighten you with a few moves now.”

Li Xiaobai ignored the Yin Yang Grinding Disc that was crashing down from the void like Mount Tai bearing down and casually pointed a finger in the air. A wisp of pitch-black flame like ink slowly drifted towards the old man.

In his terrified gaze, the flame landed firmly on his shoulder, and in an instant, a strange black light flashed, Hellfire surged, and the aged body melted away like snow, vanishing without a trace—not even ashes remained.

Just like that, he vaporized; the Yin and Yang Qi that enshrouded the ring in the void dispersed in the blink of an eye, leaving only a wisp of black flame burning slowly in the center of the ring.

The venue was dead silent, everyone was stunned, not understanding what had just happened on the stage. How could a living person simply vanish into thin air?

A group of people stared blankly at the figure on the stage as he slowly walked up to the strange black flame and pocketed it. Their pupils suddenly constricted, and they snapped back to reality with an audible shock.

“It’s… it’s the black flame that’s causing mischief!”

“Elder Zhang was incinerated by that strange black flame—that flame is terrifying!”

“What in the world is this flame that even a Spirit Realm Cultivator was instantly consumed? It’s truly unfathomable!”

A tempest of shock and awe stirred in the hearts of the cultivators. To kill Elder Zhang, a Divinity Transformation cultivator, in one move—what was Li Xiaobai’s true cultivation level?

“Damn it, he actually had the help of such a powerful artifact!”

Down below, Zhang Xu and another man’s eyes shimmered with even greater resentment. Without that flame artifact, Elder Zhang would have definitely been able to suppress his opponent and wring out his secrets.

By then, those treasures would belong to their Zhang Family. Maybe they would even fall into their hands to be further glorified in the future. Who could have expected such a twist of fate?

“This flame is extraordinary, capable of overcoming even a Divinity Transformation cultivator in one move. Great Elder, what do you make of it?”

The Zhang Family Patriarch’s eyes were fraught with gravity as he turned to the hunched elder beside him.

“Replying to the Family Head, the power of this flame is astonishing. I fear that only those with our level of cultivation possess the strength to contend with it. Moreover, I believe that Li Xiaobai’s ability to withstand Elder Zhang’s Yin and Yang Qi without a scratch suggests that his own cultivation is also inscrutable.”

“The elders’ previous conjecture may have been correct—Li Xiaobai indeed possesses the strength of the top tier geniuses!”

Light gleamed in the hunched elder’s eyes; the secrets surrounding Li Xiaobai seemed to multiply, and his interest in them only deepened.

“It seems that I, the Family Head, must personally take action.”

The Zhang Family Patriarch’s expression was as still as water, his gaze intensely fixed on the young man on the stage.

“There’s no need for you to concern yourself with such trifles, Family Head—I will take care of it,” the hunched elder quickly interjected.

“There is no need. I don’t want any more surprises, and I must capture this young man in one fell swoop!” declared the Zhang Family Patriarch, brilliance gleaming in his eyes. “Young Master Li’s skills are indeed extraordinary, having instantly slain Elder Zhang in one move—I respect that greatly!”

“Heh, Family Head need not overpraise me,” Li Xiaobai waved off, chuckling. “I didn’t expect Elder Zhang, who seemed so formidable, to be nothing but bluster, unable to even withstand one layer of my power. Had I known, I would have just sprinkled a little more water.”

The Zhang Family Patriarch was practically fuming—one layer of your power?

How could you boast so shamelessly?

It was nothing more than relying on a unique flame artifact to kill Elder Zhang, and yet you act as if you can ascend to heaven?

Without another word, his wrist twisted, and a cold gleaming longsword with a temper of azure light appeared in his hand. With a flourish of the sword, the Sword Intent surged forth, thrusting directly at Li Xiaobai’s brow.

“I respect Young Master Li’s cultivation, and today, I too would like to experience a few of the high-level skills of a young prodigy!”
