Having shattered the demonic claw with a single punch, Chen Ping did not pause for even a moment. His figure flickered like a ghost, causing faint ripples in space.
In the next instant, he appeared directly before Hun Sha, who had briefly lost his senses from extreme shock.
Just as Hun Sha had not yet recovered from the astonishment of his attack being so easily dismantled, and Chen Ping’s cold countenance was only beginning to reflect in his pupils, Chen Ping backhanded a slap!
This slap was swift to the extreme, surpassing the limits of divine sense perception!
Upon the palm, chaos immortal power intertwined with true dragon vital blood. Though it lacked grand momentum, it contained colossal force enough to shatter mountains, along with a trace of true dragon majesty from the pinnacle of the hierarchy of life!
“Smack—!!!”
A crisp, resounding slap, loud to the utmost degree, exploded like thunder in the silent skies above the battlefield!
The sound was so clear, so piercing, as if it directly struck the souls of all cultivators witnessing the scene!
Hun Sha’s entire body flew sideways like a rag doll hurled by immense force, utterly powerless to resist!
Half his cheek swelled visibly at a speed the naked eye could follow, instantly turning blue and purple. A clear, branded-like five-finger imprint appeared prominently!
Several teeth stained with black demonic blood, mixed with saliva, sprayed wildly from his mouth!
He tumbled several times in the air before crashing heavily and pathetically onto the scorched and shattered ground below, smashing a shallow crater amid rising dust.
Hun Sha struggled to rise, but due to his injuries, exhaustion, and this sudden, unprecedented humiliating blow, a surge of qi and blood overwhelmed him. He spat out yet another mouthful of blood.
Lifting his head, on his swollen and deformed face, those eyes brimmed with utmost bewilderment, humiliation, terror, and a daze as if his entire worldview had been thoroughly shattered.
He, the master of the Myriad Souls Demonic Sect, a seventh-grade Heavenly Immortal realm titan, who had dominated the Tenth Heaven for tens of thousands of years, whose infamous name struck fear into countless cultivators.
He had actually… actually been slapped resoundingly across the face in public by a mere seventh-grade Human Immortal realm junior, before the eyes of hundreds of thousands of disciples from both sects, and in the presence of his mortal enemy Ling Yunzi?!
Unparalleled shame!
Unprecedented!
A humiliation unheard of through the ages!
At this moment, concerns of sect interests and deep-seated grudges seemed temporarily drowned by this immense sense of disgrace. Hun Sha’s mind went blank, leaving only the burning pain on his cheek and the crisp slap sound that seemed to echo still in his ears.
The entire battlefield fell into absolute, deathly silence.
One could hear a pin drop.
Whether disciples of the Myriad Souls Demonic Sect or cultivators of the Xuantian Sword Sect, all stood frozen as if under a binding spell.
They remained rigid in place, eyes wide, mouths agape, like clay sculptures or wooden carvings, staring dumbly at the demonic sect master struggling in the shallow pit, as wretched as a stray dog.
Then at the youth hovering in mid-air, green robes fluttering, expression indifferent, as if he had merely done something trivial.
This scene etched itself deeply into the soul of every witness, indelible for all eternity.
Ling Yunzi’s throat bobbed. He felt an inexplicable numbness on his own cheeks.
His gaze towards Chen Ping no longer held mere wariness, but carried a trace of… fear?
This youth was far too terrifying!
Not only was his strength unfathomably deep, but his actions knew no taboos, domineering and sharp!
Chen Ping stood with hands clasped behind his back, robes billowing, overlooking Hun Sha below as he struggled to rise, consumed by shame and fury, eyes chaotic. He spoke coldly.
Chen Ping’s voice was like eternal ice, reaching the ears of Hun Sha and everyone present: “This slap is on behalf of the Myriad Beasts Gate disciples who died in Rock Valley, and on behalf of the countless innocent lives harmed and soul-refined by your Myriad Souls Demonic Sect.”
