Chapter 243 The slap in the face comes suddenly
The wandering cultivators around instantly became alert, their eyes widened, and they began to whisper to each other.
"It seems that Shi Chen is in trouble. Looking at his frightened expression, he probably doesn't have any ability." A tall and thin casual cultivator said while shaking his head.
"Hmph, it's his fault for getting entangled with the Qingxuan Sect and causing such trouble. Wu Jingzhi is not someone to be trifled with." The fat cultivator next to him echoed.
"But Shi Chen is too cowardly. He's so scared before the fight even starts." Someone said with disdain.
"Don't be anxious, there might be a reversal. Let's wait and see." A seemingly calm casual cultivator said. He used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that Shi Chen's cultivation level was vague between the Jindan level and the Jindan level.
Everyone stared intently, afraid to miss a single moment. Some of the cultivators even stood up to get a better look.
At this moment, the little red bird with blazing flames was about to hit Shi Chen. The breathing of the casual cultivators seemed to stop, and the atmosphere on the scene was extremely tense.
Huo Wei, who was receiving representatives from various sects, saw a commotion in front of the seat of the casual cultivators. She looked closely and found that Shi Chen was being attacked by a young cultivator. She was about to shout to stop when she heard Shi Chen's voice.
"Fairy Huowei, please don't interfere in this matter. I'll just give you a blessing before the ceremony! We'll deal with it after it's over."
puff!
The firebird crashed into Shi Chen's chest. He let go of the hands holding Liang Ruyan and the other person, was knocked back a foot, and sat on the ground.
The firebird had burned a fist-sized hole in his robe on his chest, and his skin was charred black.
Liang Ruyan and Xu Qianying quickly came to Shi Chen's side, their eyes concerned and faces aggrieved.
Shi Chen's face was in agony, and he shouted for help in all directions: "Everyone, save me! This Wu Jingzhi is so domineering that he wants to take my life during this ceremony! Where are the Fire Clan's law enforcement officers? They are not going to deal with this troublemaker!"
When the wandering cultivators saw this, there was another commotion.
"This Shi Chen is too weak. He couldn't even take a single blow."
"I see, his fear just now wasn't fake, he really is incompetent."
The calm and composed cultivator frowned and muttered to himself, "That's not right. It shouldn't be like this."
After a few moments, a team of law enforcement monks arrived. Just as they were about to ask what happened, their eyes suddenly focused, as if they were listening to something carefully.
"Before the ceremony, you dare to cause trouble here. Catch them all! We will deal with them after the ceremony!" The law enforcement captain gave an order, and the monks behind him were ready to take action.
"Wait! Who dares to touch me! You'd better retreat. After this matter is over, my Qingxuan Sect will give an explanation to the Huolie Clan." Wu Jingzhi was very arrogant, looking sideways at the sky with his hands behind his back.
A member of the law enforcement team leaned close to the captain's ear and whispered, "This is Wu Jingzhi from the Qingxuan Sect of Yuanling Continent. He is the great-grandson of the Second Elder, Wu Zhaojun."
"Qingxuan Sect?" The law enforcement captain asked doubtfully, then recalled the voice transmission in his ear. He then said in a cold voice, "If you want to resolve your grudge, please leave the Grand Ceremony Square and handle it outside."
After saying that, he quickly left with the law enforcement team.
"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Wu Jingzhi laughed wildly. "See, Shi Chen, even the Fire Tribe's law enforcement team wouldn't dare to do anything to me! You're dead today!"
Shi Chen slowly stood up, dusted himself off, and said calmly, "Wu Jingzhi, don't be too proud. It's still uncertain who will live and who will die."
Wu Jingzhi snorted coldly: "Humph, you are still stubborn even when you are about to die. I want to see what else you are capable of."
At this time, the surrounding cultivators began to talk again.
"This Wu Jingzhi is too arrogant. He relies on his background to do whatever he wants."
"That's right, I don't know if Shi Chen can handle it."
"Shi Chen, even if you kneel down and apologize now, I will not forgive you!" Wu Jingzhi said viciously with a ferocious look on his face.
Shi Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "Wu Jingzhi, do you think you can do whatever you want just because of your family background? Today I will let you know that there is a price to pay for arrogance."
Wu Jingzhi was angered by Shi Chen's attitude and once again mobilized his spiritual power, preparing to launch a more violent attack.
At this moment, Liang Ruyan stepped forward and shouted, "Wu Jingzhi, stop being so presumptuous!"
Wu Jingzhi glanced at her with disdain: "Little girl, you have nothing to do here, get out of here! After I finish dealing with him, I will accept you as my concubines!"
Xu Qianying also stood in front of Shi Chen and said, "If you want to touch him, you have to get past us first."
Wu Jingzhi laughed heartily: "Just the two of you? You are overestimating yourselves!"
Shi Chen gently pulled Liang Ruyan and Xu Qianying behind him and said, "You guys step back. This is between him and me."
Liang Ruyan showed a worried look and said softly, "Shi Chen, you have to be careful."
Shi Chen smiled in response, then looked at Wu Jingzhi and said, "Come on, let me see how capable you are. How much of Wu Zhaojun's strength have you learned?"
"How dare you! How dare you blaspheme my great-grandfather's name!" Wu Zhaojun's momentum surged, and her spiritual power surged out like a tide. The air around her seemed to be squeezed and made a "sizzling" sound.
Shi Chen, however, was not afraid at all. He formed seals with his hands and a ray of light shone in front of him: "Wu Jingzhi, stop bluffing here!"
Wu Jingzhi roared angrily and rushed towards Shi Chen like lightning. Shi Chen dodged to the side and cleverly avoided the attack.
"Bang!" Wu Jingzhi's attack missed, fell to the ground, and raised a cloud of dust.
"Is that all you can do?" Shi Chen sneered.
Wu Jingzhi became furious and launched another attack. For a moment, the spiritual power and light intertwined, and the two fought hard.
The wandering cultivators around were all stunned. No one expected that Shi Chen could fight Wu Jingzhi so fiercely.
"This Shi Chen is so powerful. I really underestimated him before."
"It seems like this is a fight between dragons and tigers!"
Liang Ruyan and Xu Qianying stepped back several feet, stood aside with a calm expression, and watched coldly.
As Shi Chen battled Wu Jingzhi, he began to wonder: Could it be that Wu Zhaojun really didn't want this great-grandson anymore? If the Qingxuan Sect wanted to test me, they couldn't send a direct descendant out to die.
Since you all think that I don't dare to kill anyone at the ceremony, I'll just go all out and get rid of this ignorant guy.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Shi Chen's eyes, and the spiritual power in his hand became stronger and stronger.
His aura instantly exploded, revealing his sixth-level cultivation of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. He released the Earth Realm, activated his spiritual power, and cast an ice spell. With a push of his left hand, a gust of cold air blew towards Wu Jingzhi.
Wu Jingzhi felt the heavy earth realm, and his feet felt extremely heavy. He was unable to dodge the spell and was fixed in place. A cold current blew past, and his body began to freeze.
"Shi Chen, you dare!" Wu Jingzhi shouted in shock, his face pale and his eyes full of fear.
"Wu Jingzhi, today is your doom!" Shi Chen said coldly.
"Qingxuan Sect will not let you go. Grandpa Zeng will help me avenge you and grind you into ashes! I will repay you a thousand times for torturing your two little wives!" Wu Jingzhi shouted loudly and threatened Shi Chen.
"I'm waiting for Qingxuan Sect and Wu Zhaojun's revenge!" Shi Chen said, and slapped Wu Jingzhi in the face.
Snapped!
The sound was so loud that the monks in the nearby seats could hear it clearly.
Wu was knocked to the ground, with a clear slap mark appearing on his face. There was blood at the corner of his mouth and his eyes flickered. He struggled frantically, trying to get up and escape.
Shi Chen stepped on his chest, his eyes stern, and said, "Why, no one from Qingxuan Sect came to save you?"
