Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2169 - 2169 A Single Slap



2169 A Single Slap

“Fellow Daoist Su, don’t be rash!”

Princess Scarlet Rainbow reminded hurriedly.

Right now, there were more and more cultivators gathered in front of the Essence Spirit Pavilion. If Su Zimo were to injure anyone in front of everyone, he would be punished even if he was in the right initially!

As though he had not heard anything, Su Zimo arrived before Steward Chen. His gaze intensified and released a chilling killing intent. He looked prepared, as though he was about to attack the next moment!

He was a Grade 8 Earth Immortal and his Essence Spirit was now as strong as a Grade 1 Heaven Immortal!

This was a complete mental suppression!

In front of Su Zimo, Steward Chen felt a mountain-like pressure. His chest was suffocating and he could not breathe at all.

Under such immense pressure, Steward Chen panicked and flustered.

When he saw Su Zimo’s eyes brighten and his body lean forward, as though he was about to charge forward the next moment, he could not help but recall some information about Su Zimo.

Su Zimo was decisive to kill. In the Immortal Sect Selection, he dared to kill more than a hundred Execution Guards right in front of Prince Yuan Zuo!

This person had no qualms and was fearless—he was a complete lunatic!

“This is bad!”

Steward Chen’s heart skipped a beat. “This person wants to kill me!”

He wanted to turn and escape but realized that he seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and could not move.

“Ah!”

Steward Chen growled and released his blood qi with all his might. He conjured hand seals with both hands and released a greater divine power that struck Su Zimo!

It was an instinctive reaction.

After Su Zimo attacked, there was no way he could sit still and wait for death. He could only retaliate!

In his opinion, as long as he defended against Su Zimo’s move, the other cultivators would be able to react and capture the latter!

However, the moment he released his greater divine power, he saw a mocking look flash through Su Zimo’s eyes.

Su Zimo was still standing on the spot motionlessly and did not attack him at all!

“I was tricked!”

Steward Chen’s heart sank. He wanted to stop but it was too late.

The two of them were way too close. The moment the greater divine power was released, it had already struck Su Zimo’s chest with a dull thud.

When he saw that, Lu Wenbin frowned.

Initially, everything was going as he had expected. However, at the final moment, Steward Chen attacked Su Zimo first as though he was possessed.

With that, Su Zimo had every reason to retaliate!

“Steward Chen, how dare you attack your fellow sect mate!” Princess Scarlet Rainbow stood out right away and hollered.

The moment Steward Chen attacked, he knew that something was amiss.

“I-I…”

Steward Chen looked at the many cultivators around him and wanted to explain.

Right then, Su Zimo smiled gently. “Steward Chen, you hit me with a greater divine power. It’s only fair for me to slap you back.”

The moment he said that, Su Zimo suddenly attacked.

The moment Steward Chen saw Su Zimo raise his hand, a tremendous force slapped his cheek before he could react.

His mind buzzed.

It was as though his head was struck by a gigantic stone hammer. The sound of bones cracking could be heard and his cheek hurt.

The next moment, he lost consciousness.

Right in front of everyone, Su Zimo raised his hand and slapped Steward Chen in a seemingly casual manner.

Like a kite with a snapped string, Steward Chen’s figure flew dozens of feet away gently and landed in the grass motionlessly. His fate was unknown.

“What immense strength!”

“Did you guys notice? When Steward Chen’s greater divine power struck Su Zimo, he seemed to have felt nothing and his expression was normal.”

“A body of flesh and blood can withstand a greater divine power? How is that possible?!”

Many cultivators whispered.

“What happened?”

Not far away, an old man with a dignified expression flew through the air with a powerful aura. Descending from the skies, he arrived before the entrance of the Essence Spirit Pavilion and surveyed his surroundings.

“Greetings, Elder Teng,”

Many cultivators cupped their fists when they saw the old man.

This was the Disciplinary Elder of the outer sect and was a Grade 1 Heaven Immortal. His status was much higher than Steward Chen and he truly had the right to enforce the law!

Princess Scarlet Rainbow walked forward and pointed to Steward Chen who was not far away. “Elder Teng, I need to clarify. Not only did Steward Chen pocket the Essence Spirit Stones an outer sect disciple stored in the Essence Spirit Pavilion, he even attacked in the academy.”

“In the end, he wasn’t skilled enough and was taught a lesson instead.”

Elder Teng frowned slightly and waved his sleeves, circulating his Essence Qi to pull the unconscious Steward Chen closer.

Everyone was secretly speechless when they saw Steward Chen’s face—it was filled with blood and half of it was caved in. They looked at Su Zimo with a hint of fear.

This person was way too ruthless!

This was the result of a single slap.

Elder Teng circulated his divine power and healed most of the injuries on Steward Chen’s face. He then woke the latter up before tossing the latter in front of him.

“You pocketed the Essence Spirit Stones of an outer sect disciple and even fought in the academy?”

Elder Teng glared at Steward Chen and asked in a deep voice.

“I-I…”

When Steward Chen woke up and saw that the Disciplinary Elder was alarmed, his heart turned cold as he explained hurriedly, “Elder Teng, it’s not my fault. Lu Wenbin was the one who asked me to make things difficult for this person!”

“Mmm?”

Elder Teng swept his gaze across Lu Wenbin who was in the crowd.

“Don’t spout nonsense. What has this got to do with me?!”

Lu Wenbin’s expression darkened and he had no choice but to defend himself.

Steward Chen went all out as well. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Lu Wenbin, don’t pretend to be innocent. Do you dare to swear that this has nothing to do with you?!”

“You…”

Lu Wenbin was speechless and his face flushed red.

At the side, Su Zimo watched the two of them engage in a dogfight and could not be bothered.

As long as Elder Teng enforced the law impartially, the two of them would definitely not be able to escape punishment for this matter and there was no need for him to step in.

Elder Teng already knew what was going on when he saw that.

“Chen Sheng, Lu Wenbin, the two of you have broken the academy’s rules. You will be demoted and sent to the servants’ area for a few years,”

Elder Teng waved his hand.

Immediately, other outer sect stewards stood out behind Elder Teng, wanting to leave with Steward Chen and Lu Wenbin.

“Elder Teng, it’s truly not my fault. Lu Wenbin was the one who instigated this…”

Steward Chen was a little anxious and defended loudly, “I fought in private because I was tricked by Su Zimo. I thought that he attacked first, so I resisted…”

“Mmm?”

Elder Teng’s expression changed as he looked at Su Zimo who was not far away.

His gaze shifted to the sect badge on Su Zimo’s waist. He only retracted his gaze after seeing the name on it.

“You,”

Elder Teng pointed at Su Zimo and said indifferently, “You fought with others in the academy without permission. Go and be a servant for a few years as well.”

Su Zimo narrowed his eyes slightly and his expression darkened.

Initially, Elder Teng had no intention of making this decision.

It was clear that he had changed his mind at the last minute after knowing Su Zimo’s identity!
