Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 1613 - 1598: The Sudden Crisp Slap, Pa!

"Are you also from the Southern Territory?"

The middle-aged man named Ruo Qingxuan sized up Shi Feng and Shan Shan as he spoke.

It probably was!

Ruo Qingxuan considered himself not yet famed across the land; those who could recognize him here in the Eastern Domain must also be from the Southern Territory.

Upon hearing Ruo Qingxuan’s words, the young girl Shan Shan dared not be negligent and immediately lowered her head and respectfully responded, "Yes, Elder Ruo!"

Just when Ruo Qingxuan had called out to them, Shan Shan realized something was amiss. At this moment, she only hoped that, considering they shared roots from the Southern Territory, Ruo Qingxuan wouldn’t make things difficult.

This Ruo Qingxuan was a formidable strongman in the Three-star Martial Emperor Realm. Even though Shi Feng beside her had reached the Martial Saint realm, beneath the Martial Emperor, one was still like an ant.

After responding with those words, Shan Shan even held her breath nervously, not daring to move rashly, waiting for Ruo Qingxuan’s words.

It was as if their impending fate was being judged by Ruo Qingxuan.

Then, seeing Ruo Qingxuan nod slowly towards them, he spoke, "Initially, I didn’t want to make things difficult for you two. But this Death Forbidden Land is indeed unusual; even I feel increasingly uneasy and must find someone to guide the way!"

To say it nicely as "guide," but in reality, it was just being cannon fodder, to walk ahead and explore the way for them.

"This... this... Elder Ruo..." Hearing Ruo Qingxuan’s words, Shan Shan’s pretty face changed slightly, not knowing what to say.

Yet upon closer reflection, acting as their guide didn’t seem much different from before.

Previously, the two of them were already walking ahead, delving deeper into this Death Forbidden Land.

If Ruo Qingxuan hadn’t called out to them earlier, wouldn’t the two of them still walk ahead, leading the way?

But at this moment, upon hearing Ruo Qingxuan’s words, Shi Feng gave a faint smile and said, "A guide? Oh, this isn’t bad at all. If someone leads the way ahead, sometimes, one can indeed avoid some dangers."

"Huh? Did I hear that right?" Just as Shi Feng’s voice fell, a young man in the crowd sneered, "This guy wants to be our guide, and he’s actually so happy about it? And says it’s not bad?"

"Heh, what’s so strange about that!" Following up, another young man spoke, "For these people to guide the way for our Red Sun Sect is a privilege! For them, even if they die, they die for our Red Sun Sect."

"Oh, that’s true as well!" The young man who spoke earlier seemed to understand, nodding his head.

Subsequently, these young people, whether male or female disciples, gazed disdainfully at the two people ahead.

Especially looking at the youth who appeared to be about eighteen or nineteen, who dared to curry favor so eagerly with their Red Sun Sect and Master Ruo.

He was likely trying to earn favor from their Red Sun Sect and Master Ruo. Such martial artists were not uncommon in the Southern Territory.

Upon hearing Shi Feng’s words, Ruo Qingxuan appeared satisfied as he nodded at them and said, "In that case, you can lead the way ahead."

Ruo Qingxuan hadn’t expected them to be so cooperative.

But thinking about it, considering they couldn’t resist, obeying obediently was indeed a wise choice, sparing themselves some unnecessary suffering.

"Sigh! Shi Feng, let’s keep moving forward." At this point, Shi Feng heard Shan Shan sigh softly and say to him, then slowly turned around.

It seemed, even though it was the same as before, being cannon fodder for others still didn’t sit well with her.

But what could be done! The other party had a Martial Emperor realm expert; exterminating the two of them was merely a matter of finger movements.

But just as Shan Shan was about to turn, Shi Feng leisurely spoke, "Wait a moment, since we have a guide, let’s have the guide go first."

"Hmm?"

"Hmm?"

"Hmm?"

"Hmm?"

Shi Feng’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it wasn’t low either, immediately reaching everyone’s ears.

Upon hearing what Shi Feng said to Shan Shan, everyone’s expression changed instantly, realizing something was off from his words.

A male disciple from the Red Sun Sect immediately reacted, exclaiming, "Dare... daring... my god, he’s daring to let us lead him instead!"

"Let us lead him? Is this guy out of his mind?"

"Hmph! He actually dares to think we would lead him!" Even a young female disciple’s pretty face turned cold as she snorted.

"Hah, is he looking for death?" another young female disciple sneered as she spoke, though with a smile, a trace of coldness flickered in her eyes.

Even the Third Elder of the Red Sun Sect, Ruo Qingxuan, had his face turn sullen, coldly saying, "Boy, are you pretending to be insane with us?"

A chilling intent instantly swept out from Ruo Qingxuan, surging forward.

"Shi... Shi Feng, you..." At this moment, even Shan Shan was stunned, turning back to look at Shi Feng.

He, he was actually saying such words aloud right in front of everyone.

Let the Red Sun Sect, let Ruo Qingxuan lead the way for them? Was it possible?

He, he truly dared to think! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Just then, Shi Feng, who had a faint smile on his face, suddenly turned cold.

A cold murderous intent swept towards him?

Courting death!

"Hmph!" Instantly, a cold humph sounded from Shi Feng’s mouth.

"Pa!" A resounding slap echoed abruptly in the sky and earth, resounding sharply and distinctly.

Meanwhile, "Ugh!" everyone present heard a muffled and painful groan, shockingly coming from their Master Ruo’s mouth.

Ruo Qingxuan’s body shuddered violently, then staggered backward repeatedly.

"Master Ruo..."

"Master Ruo!"

"Master Ruo..."

The disciples of the Red Sun Sect exclaimed one after another, hurrying forward and pressing a hand against Ruo Qingxuan’s back, stabilizing his retreating form.

However, a disciple then noticed that on Ruo Qingxuan’s left cheek was an exceptionally clear five-fingered handprint. Quickly, they connected it to the crisp slapping sound just now.

That slapping sound!

Their Master Ruo... shockingly... shockingly got slapped!

However, all six of them, twelve eyes in total, didn’t see who dealt the slap!

"This... this..."

"This... this..."

At this moment, each disciple of the Red Sun Sect was speechless in shock.

Ruo Qingxuan, a powerhouse in the Three-star Martial Emperor Realm! What kind of terrifying existence could slap him?

What exactly happened just now? Who on earth did this?

Could it be some mysterious force within this Death Forbidden Land?

Yet the handprint on Master Ruo’s face was clearly a human clan’s handprint!

At that moment, the disciples of the Red Sun Sect only noticed the handprint on Master Ruo’s face but failed to see that Master Ruo himself was staring ahead at the young man with an extremely horrified expression.
