Chapter 1548: Begging for Mercy on Their Knees
"Uh..."
Like a leopard pouncing forward, Lei Li hadn't even had a chance to attack before a black shadow suddenly appeared, grabbed his throat directly, and lifted him up.
"Clap clap clap!"
Feng Wuchen reached out and slapped Lei Li's face fiercely, in an instant turning Lei Li into a pig head.
With domineering power, no matter how Lei Li struggled, it was to no avail.
Dozens of Heavenly Deity Realm powerhouses from the Thunder God Temple were all stunned.
Someone actually dared to slap Young Master Lei!
This is like turning the lights on in the restroom—looking for trouble!
"Gulp..."
Witnessing this scene, cultivators in the tavern swallowed hard in terror, some instinctively covering their faces in extreme fear.
"That face got beaten so harshly..."
"With such force, can Young Master Lei's face even be used? That's definitely disfigurement!"
"Brutal! Young Master Lei has truly encountered a tough opponent this time, that kid must be a Heavenly Emperor-level expert!"
"Exactly! Definitely a Heavenly Emperor expert! Beneath the Heavenly Emperor, everything is an ant!"
The tavern's cultivators were scared stiff, collapsing to the ground, those who mocked or slandered Feng Wuchen earlier had already vanished without a trace.
"Young Master!"
"You brat! Stop immediately! Are you tired of living?"
"Outrageous! Audacious beyond belief! If you don't stop, I'll make sure you wish for death!"
Powerhouses from the Thunder God Temple roared in anger, ready to attack, all looking like ferocious beasts, seemingly ready to swallow and tear Feng Wuchen apart.
However, Feng Wuchen directly ignored them.
Lei Li's life was in Feng Wuchen's hands, the Thunder God Temple's powerhouses could only bluster, not daring to make a move.
"Clap clap clap!"
"Cough cough!"
Feng Wuchen slapped furiously, Lei Li's furious aura was smacked away completely, a mixture of saliva, blood, and mucus sprayed out.
"Please... please stop... I beg you, stop... I was wrong, wrong..."
Finally unable to withstand it, Lei Li immediately conceded, desperately pleading.
Lei Li believed that if he didn't beg for mercy, Feng Wuchen would beat him to death.
Lei Li dared not gamble, he cherished life and feared death, faced with mortality, he had to bow unconditionally.
"You think I'll stop just because you say so? Wouldn't that make me look spineless?" Feng Wuchen replied coldly, his icy voice sending chills down the spine, freezing from the feet to the crown.
What?
Upon hearing this, Lei Li and the tavern crowd were dumbfounded, what kind of logic was this?
"You brat! Do you realize the strength of our Thunder God Temple? Both our Hall Master and elders are Heavenly Emperor-level experts, you won't live if you offend our Young Master!" a Heavenly Deity Realm powerhouse shouted angrily.
Hastily invoking the Thunder God Temple to intimidate, hoping Feng Wuchen would back off, at least not daring to slap Lei Li anymore.
"Heavenly Emperor expert?" Feng Wuchen frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Seems like the Grand Sovereign has already spread the news, quite quickly!"
"Turns out the major forces across various regions of the Heavenly Realm were hiding their strength, now that the Tianzun Divine Palace is severely weakened and the Dragon God Clan is restraining them, these major forces' Heavenly Emperor experts dare come forward." Feng Wuchen thought.
Previously, under the suppression of the Tianzun Divine Palace, the Heavenly Emperor experts of major forces in various regions dared not show up, fearing the Tianzun Divine Palace.
Were it not for receiving news of the Tianzun Divine Palace's defeat, they too would not dare to appear.
Seeing Feng Wuchen showing restraint, that Heavenly Deity Realm powerhouse smugly said, "Brat, afraid now? Let me tell you, our Hall Master can crush you with one hand!"
But as that Heavenly Deity Realm powerhouse finished speaking, everyone was again dumbfounded!
"Clap clap clap!"
Having just stopped, Feng Wuchen resumed slapping fiercely.
Lei Li cried with no tears left, the bitterness in his heart was overwhelming, he even craved death.
"You idiot! Do you want to get this Young Master killed?" Lei Li furiously cursed, irate and frustrated.
At such a moment, he dared to threaten Feng Wuchen, utterly unaware of his situation.
"Is that guy an idiot? Young Master Lei's life is still in that expert's hands, yet he dares to threaten."
"Extremely foolish! Even a fool knows he's a Heavenly Emperor expert, daring to threaten a Heavenly Emperor-level expert is beyond sense."
"Exactly, exactly, although the Thunder God Temple is strong, it needs people to come, failing to submit in such a scenario is idiocy!"
The tavern's cultivators all looked at that Heavenly Deity expert like he was an idiot.
Even a fool knows if Feng Wuchen feared the Thunder God Temple, he wouldn't dare slap Lei Li in the face?
Truly, ignorance is fearless.
But Feng Wuchen showed no intentions of stopping.
Lei Li knew better, immediately shouting, "What are you waiting for? Break his leg and apologize to the senior for me!"
"What? Young Master, no... ah... my leg..."
The Thunder God Temple's Heavenly Deity expert took action without hesitation, immediately breaking that man's leg.
"Senior... Senior, please stop, if you keep hitting, I'll die, Senior, I know I was wrong, it's all my fault for being blind, offending you, please show mercy!" Lei Li begged in terror and dread, completely abandoning the stature and dignity of a Young Master.
Lei Li's plea was somewhat effective, Feng Wuchen finally stopped.
"Thank you, Senior, thank you, Senior!" Lei Li thanked profusely as if granted amnesty, kneeling repeatedly.
What kind of logic is this? Being slapped so many times, yet in the end he must express thanks.
Nobody has a way of handling it like Feng Wuchen.
The tavern's cultivators admired in secret, respecting Feng Wuchen's courage, resolve, and ruthless methods.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and apologize to the senior! Kneel down, all of you!" Lei Li shouted fiercely at the Heavenly Deity experts behind him.
"Bang bang!"
A dozen Heavenly Deity experts immediately knelt.
"Thank you, Senior!" A dozen Heavenly Deity experts respectfully knelt and kowtowed, resembling grandsons kowtowing to their grandfather.
"Hmph! You're not completely stupid." Feng Wuchen sneered coldly.
"Please enjoy your meal, Senior, this meal is on me, we'll leave right away, not affecting your appetite." Lei Li hastily said, eager to run, dreadfully scared.
Of course, having been slapped at least fifty times by Feng Wuchen, Lei Li was thinking of going back to seek treatment, lest truly disfigured, ruining his life.
In addition to this, Lei Li was rushing back to gather reinforcements, the sooner the better, to prevent Feng Wuchen from escaping.
The Thunder God Temple has fierce strength, with Heavenly Emperor experts guarding it, how could Lei Li let Feng Wuchen off?
Not only wouldn't he let him off, but Lei Li wanted Feng Wuchen to pay tenfold, even dozens of times the price!
"You brat! Just wait! You dare to publicly humiliate this Young Master, I will make sure you can't even wish for life or death!" Lei Li thought with fierce hatred, full of resentment.
The future is beautiful, but reality is cruel!
What Feng Wuchen said next frightened Lei Li into a shiver.
"Did I say you could leave?" Feng Wuchen stated coldly, the icy voice making Lei Li shiver as if struck by lightning.
"Yes, yes! Does the Senior have further instructions, just say the word." Lei Li nodded and bowed respectfully, not daring to breathe heavily.
In front of Feng Wuchen, Lei Li could only act like a grandson.
