Chapter 838: Chapter 839: Chewed Up Directly
The table fell silent for a moment, as everyone stared blankly at Li Xiaobai, who was thoroughly enjoying his meal.
It must be said that disciples from the Blade Sect as cooks were truly unique under the heavens.
“Pfft!”
Shen Qinghe couldn’t help but laugh, breaking the solemn and suppressed atmosphere.
“Scoundrel!”
“How dare you insult a Blade Sect disciple!”
“Slice!”
The burly man previously had suddenly sharpened his gaze, flicked his heavy sword strapped to his back with a finger, and a visible refined blade qi burst out. It danced in the air as if alive, deftly avoiding all obstacles and aimed directly at the tongue of Li Xiaobai.
In response to those words, he intended to cut off Li Xiaobai’s tongue.
Despite his rough appearance, the burly man had a touch of delicacy, showing off his precision with flair. This was Xiuchun Residence, not a place where Blade Sect disciples dared to commit overt violence, so small tricks like these would attract little attention, and Uncle Youfu turned a blind eye to this.
“Be careful!”
Shen Qinghe was alarmed and reached out to block it.
“Junior Brother, be careful! Your brother is here to help!”
Situ Baoqi gave a signal; a nearby disciple also cried out in shock, preparing to block the fine blade qi. However, his palm unintentionally collided with Shen Qinghe’s, and in the blink of an eye, the butterfly-like dancing blade qi swept through the air, heading straight for Li Xiaobai.
“You!”
Shen Qinghe was livid, staring fiercely at the cultivator, intending to reach out again to seize the blade qi but it was already too late. The blade qi was now perilously close to Li Xiaobai.
This was blade qi crafted by an Earth Immortal Realm master; even a tiny strand held tremendous power, beyond what a disciple at the Human Immortal Realm could withstand, let alone one who was busily enjoying his meal without any guard up.
Everyone turned their heads, watching intently as the blade qi approached its target, and then they were astounded.
Li Xiaobai was still intently dealing with the Thousand Layer Tofu in his bowl, seemingly completely unaware of the impending danger. As the blade qi arrived, he simply opened his mouth and crunched the tofu along with the blade qi together.
[Attribute Points +200,000…]
“This blade qi is a bit weak,” he muttered to himself, chewing vigorously. The blade qi crumbled inch by inch in his mouth, then he swallowed it down along with the tofu pieces.
“This blade qi isn’t bad; quite suitable with meals. You fellows from the Blade Sect do have a knack for cooking,” Li Xiaobai remarked. Though the power of the blade qi was mediocre, crunching on it was quite stress-relieving, and the Thousand Layer Tofu was not only melt-in-the-mouth but had a hint of defiance, making it silky smooth and juicy.
The place fell utterly silent, whether it was Situ Baoqi and others, the Blade Sect disciples, or even the onlookers around. Everyone was stunned.
This kind of maneuver was unheard of. Faced with blade qi from an Earth Immortal Realm powerhouse, the young man actually crunched it with his teeth and even swallowed it as food!
Was this even human? It was more like a demonic beast in human form!
Only Wu Chengjue continued to elegantly share the table’s delicacies as if it was all expected.
“Did I see that right? Li Xiaobai just swallowed the Blade Sect disciple’s blade qi!”
“Yes, that was blade qi from an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator. How could he be completely unharmed?”
“The inside is not like the surface of the body; even cultivators who specialize in bodily cultivation have fragile internal organs. Not to mention the Earth Immortal Realm, even the blade qi from the Human Immortal Realm isn’t something to be swallowed carelessly. What kind of strength does this guy actually possess?”
“Is this the strength one should have in the Human Immortal Realm?”
Many onlookers who were watching the development of the situation exclaimed repeatedly. They waited for a few breaths and realized that Li Xiaobai remained composed and indeed showed no signs of trouble. The blade qi he had just swallowed seemed to really be just a seasoning for a dish, incapable of causing him any harm.
Such strength was simply unimaginable!
“This is impossible, how can swallowing my blade qi cause no injury at all? I don’t believe it, take another strike from me!”
The burly man’s expression changed as well, and in disbelief, he reached behind to stroke his broadsword again, sending another blade qi directly at Li Xiaobai.
Crack!
The crisp sound echoed into the ears of every cultivator present. Li Xiaobai did not even bother to give that blade light a proper glance, unafraid of being hacked by it, he embraced it and just started munching wildly, the blade qi dissipated into thin air within a breath.
“Burp!”
“Refreshing!”
Li Xiaobai let out a satisfied burp and licked his lips, revealing a content smile.
“Thanks for the treat, everyone. This blade qi really does go well with a meal. If you can’t manage in the Blade Sect anymore, you are certainly welcome to join our Sword Sect. I can arrange a chef’s position for you on the Second Peak,”
said Li Xiaobai cheerfully.
“Sharp-tongued, this is Xiuchun Residence, it’s inconvenient for us to start a full-fledged fight here. Wait till tomorrow on the stage, I will make you pay a painful price!”
The burly man’s eyes glinted with a ferocious light as he spoke fiercely.
“It’s indeed a lucky day to meet such a talented young man. Not bad at all. I am Ye Yidao, known as the Sword Remnant of the North River. Tomorrow on the stage, we shall determine our superiorities and settle life and death,”
said the gaunt young man in the lead indifferently, making no attempt to hide his killing intent towards the disciple of the Sword Sect.
“Let’s go!”
Situ Baoqi’s eyes shifted subtly, wanting to say something else to salvage the situation, but the members of the Blade Sect left without looking back.
His heart was filled with indignation, all because of Li Xiaobai’s casual provocation. Tomorrow at the stage, they would have a tough time. Blade Sect cultivators are full of vigor and energy, their blade techniques ferociously unmatched. If it came to a real fight, even if he miraculously won, he would still suffer severe injuries.
“Brother Li, you were truly domineering just now, swallowing the blade qi like that. You definitely deserve to top the charts!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“I am even more confident about tomorrow’s contest!”
Shen Qinghe’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he stared at Li Xiaobai as if he had discovered a new continent. Although Situ Baoqi’s cultivation level was in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, in terms of visual impact, it was far less shocking than the act of crushing the blade qi.
This is truly the spirit of a warrior. With such a person’s help, the combined chances of victory for the great sects have increased.
“It was just like eating tofu, nothing to make a fuss about,”
“With Brother Situ in tomorrow’s arena, if one from the Blade Sect comes, he kills one, if two come, he kills a pair. Brother Situ is Elder Ouyang’s esteemed disciple, a man of high principles who would surely seek justice for the great sects even at the cost of his life, am I right, Brother?”
Li Xiaobai turned to the stiff-faced Situ Baoqi and asked jovially.
“You’re right…”
Situ Baoqi gritted his teeth, all the good spots had been taken by this fellow.
“Then, Brother, settle the bill. I must say, the food here is just so-so. Better not come back next time.”
