"What?! How did Liang Tao get slapped?" Many disciples exclaimed and there was currently a commotion happening in the palace hall.
Even Gong Xuanyan was shocked to see that Lian Chen utilizing the Lightning Rush Technique could be able to achieve such agility.
"Liang Tao! What are you doing?! How can you get slapped?!" Wei Fengyun immediately jolts Liang Tao up from his shock.
This slap to the face by Lian Chen, left Liang Tao dumbfounded, as well as everyone in the palace hall.
Before the battle started, everyone thought that after Liang Tao would emerge victorious easily; but none of them thought that Lian Chen would actually give Liang Tao a slap to the face instead.
One after the other disciple, looked at each other in dismay. Liang Tao, who had defeated Jue Xing and Duan Wu Kun with ease, would actually be slapped by someone at the Core Formation, Middle Stage.
"Just now…. That was a movement skill? Elder Lin, did you see his movements?" Asked an elder at the Buddha Benevolent Sect.
"No.. I've not seen anyone in the Buddha Benevolent Sect using that movement skill before too!" Replied Lin Chuxuan, her gaze looking towards Lian Chen now is in a completely different look.
After struggling to regain his footing, Liang Tao couldn't comprehend how someone had dared to slap him.
Even his own Sect Leader, Wei Fengyun, had never laid a hand on him in such a manner. A distinct handprint adorned the right side of Liang Tao's face, which was visibly swollen.
This was a humiliation that Liang Tao had ever received in his lifetime. His eyes, filled with murderous aura as he stared towards Lian Chen.
However, Liang Tao remembered that he had promised Lian Chen by giving him 3 moves, and if he broke it, he would be remembered as a sore loser and someone not trustworthy.
Liang Tao, forcing himself to smile, said: "You were just being lucky. I deliberately left an opening for you, just to test if you will capitalize it or not. Now, I will not let my guard down anymore, and be ready to face the consequences in 2 more moves!"
As Lian Chen heard what Liang Tao said, all he replied was: "Are you a moron or what?"
"You! Just you wait!" Liang Tao said and immediately assumed a defensive stance.
* Bzzt Bzzt Bzzt *
Lian Chen immediately appeared in front of Liang Tao, and this time, another slap was moving to Liang Tao's right cheek.
"Cloudwind Steps!" Liang Tao had already anticipated this, and he used his profound movement skill from the Cloudburst Immortal Sect to dodge it.
Just as when Liang Tao thought he had successfully dodged Lian Chen slap, a strong gust of wind appeared on the left side of Liang Tao.
"Oh shit!" When Liang Tao was about to react, to dodge the incoming slap.
* PIAK *
The figure of Liang Tao flew in the air again, and spinned a couple of times in the air before crashing heavily.
Lian Chen looked towards the Liang Tao that had crashed, and leisurely said as he blew gently on his palm: "2nd move!"
The onlookers from the Buddha Benevolent Sect were left astounded, their jaws hanging open in disbelief. It was unfathomable that Liang Tao, who had effortlessly defeated both Duan Wu Kun and Jue Xing, had now been slapped twice by Lian Chen.
If the first time was to be luck; coincidence; or a chance given by Liang Tao, then the second time definitely could not be explained using these words.
All of the Inner Disciples who just got embarrassed by Liang Tao, all look towards Lian Chen with a gaze of gratitude.
Duan Wu Kun, who was resting next to Lin Chuxuan, couldn't contain his excitement and blurted out, "Damn! That was an epic slap! It felt so damn refreshing!"
Lin Chuxuan, who was sitting beside Duan Wu Kun, reprimanded him: "Disciple Duan Wu Kun, watch your language."
Even though Lin Chuxuan said it in a reprimanded tone, anyone could tell that even Lin Chuxuan was enjoying the slap that Lian Chen was giving to Liang Tao.
Liang Tao forcibly got up awkwardly from the ground, and forced himself to swallow the blood that he almost threw up in his mouth. Liang Tao fixed his gaze on Lian Chen, and if a person gaze could kill someone, Lian Chen would've already died 10,000 times.
Liang Tao was also astonished in his heart: "Just how did he appear on my left? I clearly used the Cloudwind Steps to dodge it… Unless his movement skill is on another level compared to mine? But how could such a movement skill exist?!!"
Lian Chen looked towards Liang Tao, who's face looked as if he had just swallowed a mouth of poo: "how does it feel to swallow your own blood in your mouth?" Ridiculing him.
* Bzzt Bzzt Bzzt *
Lian Chen's silhouette disappeared once more, and this time Liang Tao instantly focused his concentration to his left and right side. However, this time the strong gust of wind actually came from below.
* BANG *
Liang Tao was kicked in the chin and instantly flew high up in the air before crashing down.
"3rd move!" As Lian Chen spoke in a relaxing tone.
But what people did not realize was that even though Lian Chen was making it seem like he had an easy time slapping Liang Tao, Lian Chen was already exhausted.
To utilize the Lightning Rush Technique so many times, has already drained quite a lot of his qi in his dantian.
However, Lian Chen could not let Liang Tao know that he is also exhausted, thus he could only put up an act as if he is having an easy time against him.
As Liang Tao was about to crawl back up from the ground, another kick was sent flying in Liang Tao's right eye, and all Liang Tao could hear was: "thanks for the free 4th move!"
"ARGHHH…. I WILL KILL YOU!!!!" Liang Tao shouted and boundless pressure shot out from his body.
