Chapter 6923 Absolute Suppression
Long Chen didn’t have a good impression of the Painting Sect. Their attitude really got on his nerves, and interrupting Vice Sect Master Liuyun was rude enough to make him angry.
However, since he was in the Calligraphy Sect’s territory, he thought it was best to show some respect. Getting into arguments with people like them would only lower his status.
But as soon as they insulted him in front of everyone, he lost his patience.
That man was unlucky. Long Chen happened to walk by just as he spoke. At that range, with no defenses up, that man couldn’t have dodged even if he tried.
Long Chen didn’t hold back. Astral runes flashed on his palm as he struck, and half of the man’s face burst from the force of the slap.
The slap sound rang throughout the area.
Many experts had their eyes on Long Chen, remembering the power he displayed when he defeated Yan Sheng at Broken Heaven Mountain.
They’d also heard that Long Chen accepted Li Chenggang’s invitation to visit the Calligraphy Sect, so plenty of disciples were eager to see what a top genius was really like.
A lot of people turned to look at him, and their curiosity drew even more eyes his way.
Because of this, many people saw Long Chen deliver that harsh slap to the man from the Painting Sect.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
All four were high-ranking members of the Painting Sect, and the woman was actually a vice sect master. The three men were also important, ranking just below the vice sect master.
“Dean Long Chen!”
Even Liuyun and Wen Shanyuan were caught off guard and jumped in shock, not expecting Long Chen to attack suddenly.
“Courting death!”
The slapped man roared in fury and pounced on Long Chen.
Seeing this, Zi Nuo and the other Wine God Palace’s disciples drew their swords. As dark red lines flowed in their eyes, a domineering Sword Dao will locked onto that man.
He immediately froze, aware that any movement would trigger a thunderous blow from Zi Nuo and the others. What terrified him most was that their lock sent a chilling sensation through him, like a premonition of death.
If he dared to move rashly, their swords would cut him to pieces. The people beside him wouldn’t have any chance of saving him.
This man was very powerful, but it didn’t matter. With their sword-intent locked on him, he couldn’t even release his aura, much less use his heaven-earth law manifestation. Trying would get him killed instantly.
When Zi Nuo drew his sword, the other three felt an incredibly strong Sword Dao aura. It was so intense it seemed to shake them to their core.
Even though the lock wasn’t aimed right at them, the sharp aura alone felt dangerous enough to threaten their lives. Their faces changed as they realized there were so many strong Sword Dao experts with Long Chen.
In truth, they were being too arrogant. If they had paid attention to Long Chen and his group, they would have noticed their strength.
That man didn’t dare to move under this lock, and the other three didn’t dare to make any rash movements either.
Zi Nuo and the others were like arrows ready to fly, aimed straight at him. Unless they were sure they could defeat Zi Nuo and his group instantly, any move would mean that man’s death.
Ignoring whether they could truly kill Zi Nuo and the others instantly, would the two vice sect masters of the Calligraphy Sect genuinely stand by and permit it?
Their faces changed completely, and they didn’t know what to do. Long Chen, on the other hand, knew exactly what to do. He walked up to the man and gently patted the side of his face that was still fine.
He said, “You truly are blind. I am the dean of High Firmament Academy, and this is my brother, the High Deacon of the Wine God Palace and the future High Priest. Sitting with you is elevating your status. So, who are you calling a kitten and puppy?”
Even though he didn’t speak loudly, the room was so quiet after that slap that everyone heard every word clearly.
“The Wine God Palace?”
“High Deacon?”
“The future High Priest?”
People felt as if thunder were exploding in their minds. No one expected Long Chen’s companions to be from the mysterious Wine God Palace, let alone that the future High Priest was with them.
Even the two vice sect masters were shocked. The Wine God Palace almost never interacted with outsiders, so how did such an important person end up here?
The people from the Painting Sect looked upset. The Wine God Palace was a mysterious and ancient legacy. Except for the Zither Sect, which had a primal chaos divine item, none of the other three immemorial sects dared to provoke them.
They knew who Long Chen was, but they felt like a genius from a declining academy wasn’t some untouchable existence.
So they looked down on Long Chen when he arrived, only to run into unexpected trouble.
The man who got slapped had to stand still and let Long Chen pat his face. He didn’t dare move, because if he did, Zi Nuo and the others would strike without mercy.
Before, this man wondered if these disciples would really dare to kill him. Now that he knew who they were, he had no more doubts.
Long Chen patted him a few more times, looking down his nose at him.
He said, “Young man, next time, pay more attention to what you see. Watch what you say instead of talking nonsense. And if you have to speak, brush your teeth first so it’s not so dirty!”
Long Chen pushed him aside and looked at the woman.
He taunted, “You’re the strongest of the four. If you want to fight, come at me anytime. One-on-one or all four at once, I’ll take you on.”
Long Chen finally sat down, and Zi Nuo and the others slowly put their swords away.
At that moment, Vice Sect Master Liuyun tried to smooth things over. “Actually, this is just a misunderstanding. There’s no need to fall out over something so small. It’s always better to have more friends than enemies. Please give my Calligraphy Sect some respect and let’s put this behind us.”
The four from the Painting Sect were furious. What was the point of saying that now? It was obvious he’d just been waiting for them to embarrass themselves.
The woman even suspected that the old man had set them up by using Long Chen and his group to embarrass them.
“Nice!”
Suddenly, a loud shout rang out, making the four of them almost explode.
“Senior apprentice-brother Wang, nice going!”
“Well done!”
“That palm was incredible!”
The others quickly caught on and started cheering too. That “palm” of his was truly satisfying to them. After all, the Painting Sect’s arrogance had already upset the Calligraphy Sect’s disciples.
That slap was so satisfying, it felt like they’d done it themselves. They turned their excitement into cheers for senior apprentice-brother Wang, who was fighting at the moment.
The Painting Sect’s higher-ups’ expressions grew uglier and uglier, but they couldn’t say a word about it. While they remained silent, they were privately exchanging spiritual messages. No one knew what scheme they were cooking up.
Liuyun and Wen Shanyuan exchanged glances and tried not to laugh. Acting as if nothing had happened, they sat down too.
Chi Yutong, Xin Yu, and the others took their seats behind Long Chen. They all felt emotional. They never imagined they’d one day sit in such an important place in the Calligraphy Sect.
BOOM!
Just then, a loud explosion came from the martial stage, grabbing everyone’s attention.
