Chapter 497 Slapping a Sect Leader’s Face

chapter 497 slapping a sect leader’s face

translator: borntobe

before sha tonghai could react, he was sent flying by long chen’s slap. together with his chair, he tumbled into the distance.

everyone was stunned. this development had come too suddenly. no one had expected long chen to take the initiative to strike and to use such a humiliating attack.

“your answer was wrong. this is called a large slap in the face,” said long chen.

the elders that had come with long chen were all dumbfounded. they were definitely screwed. long chen had provoked a disaster.

“long chen, go to hell!” sha tonghai crawled up from the ground. a large handprint was deeply imprinted in his face, and the stinging pain made him roar furiously as he charged at long chen.

“idiot, do you want to try laying a finger on me?” long chen didn’t dodge, nor did he raise any defenses.

sha tonghai might be furious, but long chen’s words made him stop right in front of him, not daring to strike.

he didn’t touch long chen. but long chen didn’t stand on courtesy, and another large hand ruthlessly slapped across the other side of sha tonghai’s face.

a clear sound rang out, causing everyone to tremble. although the person being slapped was sha tonghai, they all felt a sympathetic pain on their own faces.

each of long chen’s slaps was more ruthless than the last. sha tonghai almost fainted from being struck.

although long chen had yet to temper his bones, he had reached the bone forging realm now, and his strength had reached an abnormal level. if it was a meridian opening expert who was struck by him, a single slap might kill that person.

but even as a xiantian expert, sha tonghai’s skin didn’t have that much defensive ability. his head was buzzing, and it was only after a moment that he recovered.

“fuck, how calamitous!” long chen suddenly cursed, looking at his palm with a disgusted expression.

everyone saw there was a layer of something white on his palm. it looked very similar to lard used for stir-fry.

looking from his palm to sha tonghai’s greasy face, their expressions became odd.

“a single slap ends up drawing out all this grease. just how much grease [1] did you wipe in the first monastery?” long chen took out a handkerchief from his spatial ring and wiped his hand, cursing the entire time.

even normal grease on a palm would make a person irritated. now, long chen felt a bit nauseated, even beginning to regret slapping him.

only at this time did sha tonghai crawl up from the ground again, tottering back and forth. suddenly, killing intent erupted from him and he released his aura.

“fat pig, i’d advise you not to do anything stupid. if you don’t activate your xiantian power, i can slap you to death with ease.

“but if you do activate your xiantian power, then that would destroy the xuantian pavilion, and it would be the monastery head who slaps you to death.” long chen didn’t even look at sha tonghai, simply continuing to clean his hand.

“you... pfft!” sha tonghai coughed up a mouthful of blood from fury. he had never felt this stifled in his life.

long chen’s physical body was incredibly powerful, and it was just like he said: if he didn’t use his xiantian power, he was helpless to do anything to him.

shui wuhen’s gaze swept over everyone. when it landed on long chen, an unnoticeable humor appeared in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

shui wuhen’s position was like the imperial throne of a palace. the only difference was that here, everyone else had chairs as well.

“everyone can sit. we’ll be doing the same thing as always. report your gains and anything you’ve learned in the past year for everyone,” said shui wuhen, sitting down.

“monastery head, please help me get justice!” suddenly, sha tonghai let out a mournful cry.

“oh? aren’t you sect leader sha? your face...?” shui wuhen looked at the deep handprints on his face with confusion.

but long chen could see a touch of ridicule deep within shui wuhen’s eyes. at the same time, he noticed the muscles under her ears twitched a few times.

others might not have noticed the change in shui wuhen, but it was unable to escape long chen, who possessed a perfect understanding of the human body.

those muscles under the ear followed the cheeks and would activate when a person smiled. when someone forcibly held back a smile, it would cause those muscles to shake ever so slightly.

because that was the physiological reaction, similar to a conditioned reflex, it didn’t matter how high shui wuhen’s cultivation base was. long chen had still managed to see through that change.

“most likely, the monastery head already arrived a while ago. she only revealed herself when the play was over.” long chen couldn’t help smiling. was this what it meant for an old person to still possess a child’s heart?

but that couldn’t be blamed on shui wuhen. those two handprints that were deeply imprinted on sha tonghai’s face truly were comical.

for shui wuhen to know what had happened but still act like she didn’t, it was no wonder she had an urge to smile.

“this was done by that despicable brat long chen!” complained sha tonghai, almost crying tears of grief.

“what? but you’re a xiantian expert, while long chen has only just advanced to bone forging. that really is hard to believe.” shui wuhen looked from sha tonghai to long chen with an expression of disbelief.

“monastery head, this is absolutely true! every sect leader and elder present can testify that it was long chen who struck me!” said sha tonghai.

“i can testify it was long chen who struck him.” zhao yongchang was the first to stand up.

following zhao yongchang, other sect leaders also immediately stood up to testify that it was done by long chen.

long chen’s gaze swept over those testifiers. he didn’t say a single word, but his gaze caused all of them to shiver.

but they had already stood up, and there was no way they could take their words back. furthermore, the fact that long chen had struck sha tonghai was an indisputable fact, so it wasn’t as if they were lying.

however, there were over twenty sect leaders who had stood up but didn’t say anything. they had all originally been roped in by sha tonghai.

but now they didn’t like the way things were developing, and so they decided not to say anything. in any case, there were already enough people testifying. holding back a little might end up protecting themselves from disaster.

seeing that many people stood up to testify, shui wuhen’s expression sunk and she harshly shouted, “long chen, how brazen! you actually dared maliciously injure someone in an important place like the xuantian pavilion? do you accept your crimes?!”
