169: Chapter 169 Su Bai's Strength

Su Bai nodded, the smile on his face growing colder and colder.

"Since you know, you still dare to barge in."

"Then don't blame me."

As his voice fell.

The Aura on Su Bai's body suddenly changed, and a burst of violent spiritual power gushed out from his body like a volcanic eruption, turning into a terrifying pressure that crushed towards Ma Liu and the others.

Ma Liu only felt as if his chest had been struck by a large stone.

He staggered back two steps, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

The Bandits behind him were even more pathetic; some were so frightened they slumped directly onto the ground, while others could not even hold their weapons steadily.

Foundation Establishment Stage!

This Su Bai was definitely a Foundation Establishment Stage expert.

And his Aura was countless times stronger than his own!

As this thought flashed through Ma Liu's mind, his legs began to tremble.

Just at that moment.

A crisp voice suddenly rang out.

"You are Su Bai?!"

Ma Zhenhua stepped out from behind Ma Liu, her almond eyes glaring at Su Bai. Although she was also somewhat breathless from Su Bai's Aura, she still maintained a stubborn, unyielding expression.

"Since you want to protect Su Family Village, then follow the Jianghu rules!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Su Bai was stunned for a moment.

Then he smiled.

Looking at Ma Zhenhua playfully, he asked with great interest, "Jianghu rules?"

"Tell me, what rules?"

Ma Zhenhua took a deep breath, puffed out her chest, and said loudly:

"Jianghu rules, the winner is king! I want to challenge you to a duel! Whoever wins, the other listens to them!"

These words shocked everyone present.

Ma Liu grew anxious and quickly grabbed his daughter's arm, saying worriedly:

"Zhenhua! Don't mess around! He's not someone you can deal with!"

Although he was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had no confidence at all when facing Su Bai's terrifying Aura.

His daughter was only at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining; wasn't this seeking death?

But Ma Zhenhua shook off her father's hand and looked stubbornly at Su Bai:

"What? You don't dare?"

Su Bai looked Ma Zhenhua up and down, then suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

Ninth Level of Qi Refining?

This girl's cultivation was actually at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining?

In this remote wilderness, how could a slip of a girl from a bandit's nest reach the Ninth Level of Qi Refining?

Interesting.

Su Bai stroked his chin, his gaze becoming playful.

He glanced at the dead and wounded Su Family Village Disciples on the ground, then looked at Ma Zhenhua's spirited face, and suddenly spoke:

"Fine, I agree."

"However—"

Su Bai's tone shifted, a mischievous smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"If you lose, you have to be my woman."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Ma Zhenhua's pretty face instantly turned bright red.

"You—shameless!!"

She let out an angry roar, unable to hold back any longer. She drew the Long Saber at her waist, circulated her full spiritual power, and slashed towards Su Bai.

Although the spiritual power of the Ninth Level of Qi Refining was not considered strong.

Under the enhancement of the Long Saber in her hand, it still carried a bit of sharp power.

Ma Liu wanted to intervene, but it was already too late; he could only watch helplessly as his daughter rushed forward.

Looking at Ma Zhenhua rushing towards him, the smile on Su Bai's face deepened.

He did not even move a single step.

He simply raised his right hand casually.

"Clang—"

With two fingers, he effortlessly pinched the Long Saber Ma Zhenhua had slashed down.

Ma Zhenhua's eyes widened.

Her full-strength strike was actually blocked by just two fingers?

"That's it?"

Su Bai let out a light chuckle, his fingers exerting a bit of force.

"Crack—"

That Long Saber made of Fine Iron was actually snapped directly by those two fingers.

Half of the blade fell to the ground with a "clang."

Producing a crisp ringing sound.

Before Ma Zhenhua could react, Su Bai had already made his move.

With a wave of his left hand, a soft spiritual power wrapped around Ma Zhenhua's waist like a ribbon, gently pulling her in.

Ma Zhenhua felt the world spinning, and she was pulled over by Su Bai.

Before she could steady herself, a warm, large hand pressed onto her shoulder, and a terrifying spiritual power flooded into her body like a tide, instantly suppressing the spiritual power in her Dantian completely.

Ma Zhenhua was shocked and struggled desperately, but Su Bai's hand was like iron pincers, remaining completely still.

The next second.

"Smack—"

A crisp sound.

Su Bai slapped Ma Zhenhua on the buttocks.

At this moment, the entire scene fell silent.

Ma Zhenhua froze in place, her pretty face turning red all the way to her neck in an instant.

Since she was a child, no one had ever dared to treat her like this!

She was both ashamed and furious, her eyes reddened. She turned her head to glare at Su Bai, her lips trembling, but she could not say a word.

Seeing this scene, Ma Liu's eyes turned red as he roared:

"Let go of my daughter!!"

He frantically circulated the spiritual power in his body, preparing to rush forward and fight Su Bai to the death.

Su Bai looked up, his gaze instantly becoming incomparably cold, his voice sounding as if it came from the depths of the Nine Underworlds:

"Ma Liu, if you dare move a muscle."

"I will kill your daughter immediately."

As the words fell, Su Bai's hand on Ma Zhenhua's shoulder exerted a bit of force.

Ma Zhenhua groaned, her face instantly turning pale.

Ma Liu's movements suddenly froze.

He looked at his daughter's pained face, then at Su Bai's eyes, and his heart sank to the bottom.

He had no doubt that if he really rushed up.

This young man would definitely kill his daughter without hesitation.

"You..."

Ma Liu gritted his teeth, but could not say a single word.

Su Bai no longer paid any attention to Ma Liu, but instead turned his head and shouted behind him:

"Ma Lie!"

Just as he spoke.

The gates of the Side Courtyard crashed open.

Ma Lie led three hundred Yunzhou Army elites, surging out like a tide.

These people were all wearing uniform Black Battle Armor and carrying Long Sabers, each exuding a thick Killing Intent.

More importantly—

These three hundred people were every single one of them Cultivators!

Their average cultivation was around the Fifth Layer of Qi Refining.

Their leader, Ma Lie, had even broken through to the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining!

These people had originally followed Su Bai back to Su Family Village to rest, and hearing the commotion now, they rushed out immediately.

Ma Lie saw the dead and wounded Su Family Village Disciples in the Martial Arts Arena at a glance, then looked at the seventy or eighty Bandits, a trace of brutality flashing in his eyes.

"General!"

Ma Lie knelt on one knee, his voice like thunder.

Su Bai nodded and spoke to Ma Lie in a calm tone:

"Go, kill that bunch of Bandits for me."

"Leave none alive."

"As you command!!"

Ma Lie stood up abruptly, turned to look at the seventy or eighty Bandits, and a cruel smile curled on his lips.

"Brothers, follow me!"

Three hundred Yunzhou Army elites roared in unison, like tigers released from their cages, pouncing towards the group of Bandits.

Ma Liu's Bandits.

Usually, it was fine for them to bully ordinary commoners, but facing such true elites, how could they be a match?

Moreover, these three hundred people were all Cultivators!

With just one charge, more than half of these people were killed or wounded.
