"Slap my face? What right do you have to slap my face? You brat, do you know who I am? When I was roaming the martial world, you weren't even a puddle of water!"
Huangfu Wanjun cursed furiously, his face red with anger.
"You ask me what right I have? Then I'll tell you. It's because you were five minutes late. Five minutes is three hundred seconds, and one second is one slap. Xiao Tian Ce, slap him three hundred times, right now!"
Chen Xiao commanded directly.
"You, you, you don't come near me..."
Seeing Xiao Tian Ce striding towards him menacingly, Huangfu Wanjun was both enraged and terrified, screaming in panic.
However, his panicked cries did not stop Xiao Tian Ce.
Although Xiao Tian Ce didn't quite understand Chen Xiao's intention, he would do as he was told since Chen Xiao had ordered it.
Slap—
Slap—
Slap—
Soon, the sound of slaps echoed incessantly in the hall.
Witnessing this, the ancient martial artists were struck with fear, afraid that a careless move would attract Chen Xiao's attention.
After delivering three hundred slaps, Huangfu Wanjun collapsed onto the ground, utterly dejected and too ashamed to show his face.
Chen Xiao was indifferent. His intention today was to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Therefore, he didn't care about Huangfu Wanjun's fate.
"Huangfu Wanjun is done. Now, it's your turn!"
Chen Xiao looked at the other late sect leaders. "If you slap yourselves, the number can be halved!"
Upon hearing this, those sect leaders no longer cared about their dignity and began slapping their own faces.
After all, even a Martial God like Huangfu Wanjun had suffered a loss at Chen Xiao's hands, so what were they?
As they were slapping themselves, Chen Xiao spoke slowly, "I hope you understand a principle: my purpose in hitting you is not simply to punish you, nor to establish my authority. I just want to tell you a truth: your extraordinary skills are not a capital for bullying others!"
"If I ever find out that someone is bullying the weak by exploiting their strength again, they will be killed without mercy!"
"Moreover, with the great tribulation of the Nine Provinces approaching, I hope everyone can unite. We must be of one heart."
"From today onwards, the ancient martial sects will be managed by Xiao Tian Ce. Anyone who dares to disobey him is defying me, Chen Xiao!"
"Do you understand?"
Hearing Chen Xiao's final question, everyone's hearts tightened, and they quickly shouted, "Understood!"
"Your shouts are not unified. Say it again, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
This time, their voices were unified, and their momentum shook the heavens!
For the next half month, Chen Xiao integrated various forces and made deployments.
The reason it was the next half month was because, after half a month, the first batch of invading Celestials arrived at Blue Star!
On this day, the Celestials descended upon the Kunlun Mountain Range and, through satellite signals, broadcast the news of their arrival.
Through mobile phones, televisions, and various electronic networks, the message spread to every corner of this world.
Yes, not just the Nine Provinces, but every corner of this world.
They declared that humanity had only three days left, and after three days, they would begin their slaughter.
And at that time, no one would be spared.
They even issued a warning before killing, making one wonder if they possessed humanitarian spirit or were simply overconfident.
However, at first, the human world did not experience much panic.
In fact, most people believed it was just a meaningless joke.
Even if this organization called 'Heavenly Dao' was powerful, it could not possibly be the opponent of all humanity.
But this arrogance and presumption did not last long.
As the human coalition launched an offensive against Heavenly Dao, those illusions quickly shattered.
Ever since the first Celestial appeared in the United States, the leaders of countries worldwide had begun planning and organizing a human coalition.
They were equipped with the most advanced equipment and the most powerful lethal weapons.
However, in the face of the Celestials, they were completely helpless.
Those most advanced lethal weapons were like a pile of toys to the Celestials, like plastic bullets from a BB gun.
And as the video footage of the battles was disseminated, humanity's confidence plummeted to an unprecedented low.
In their eyes, the Celestials had become synonymous with invincibility.
The Celestials were true gods!
Or rather, gods who would kill them all!
From then on, the world descended into chaos, and order completely collapsed.
When everyone's life began to enter a countdown, such a situation was inevitable.
And when there were less than three hours left until the three days mentioned by the Celestials, one human resolutely ascended Kunlun, venturing alone into the Heavenly Dao's headquarters.
This person was, of course, Chen Xiao. He recorded his every move and broadcast it in real-time.
He wanted all of humanity to know what he was doing; he wanted to bring them hope!
However, when Chen Xiao first started his live broadcast, it did not attract much attention.
After all, during these three days, there were not a few people who, like him, went to challenge the Celestials alone.
And their outcomes were the same: they died without even leaving behind a speck of bone residue.
Chen Xiao had one difference from them: when Chen Xiao started his live broadcast, official platforms worldwide began replaying his footage.
At this moment, Li Ziqing and Liu Zhen were sitting on the sofa, watching the scene on television.
Chen Xiao walked alone on the snowy mountain, step by step.
"Xiao Qing, Chen Xiao said he will definitely be alright. He wouldn't lie to us, right?"
Liu Zhen held Li Ziqing's hand, her fingers trembling slightly from nervousness.
"Of course, Mom. When has Chen Xiao ever lied to us? Don't worry, he will definitely return victorious!"
Li Ziqing said with certainty.
She was naturally very nervous too. However, through Chen Xiao's subtle influence over these days, she had come to understand that these so-called Celestials could not do anything to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao's true opponent was the high and mighty God.
And she also knew that Chen Xiao, at present, did not have a great chance of winning against that high and mighty Divine Emperor.
Chen Xiao had intended to cultivate the Great Desolation Mortal Scripture to the Great Perfection before setting off. That way, even if he directly faced the Canglan Divine Emperor, his chances of winning would greatly increase.
However, time was of the essence, and Chen Xiao had no more time!
If he waited any longer, the Celestials would begin their bloody slaughter of the living beings in the Nine Provinces.
Therefore, he had to go!
Chen Xiao arrived outside the Heavenly Dao headquarters, and a Celestial clad in white robes appeared before him with a flash.
"I bet he won't last three seconds."
"Nonsense, no one can last three seconds in front of a Celestial."
"But I still admire his courage. Knowing the outcome, he still goes to his death. Isn't living good... Alas, even if he didn't go to his death, he wouldn't live much longer. Three days are almost up."
Not many people were still in the mood to watch the live broadcast.
But even among the limited few, no one thought highly of Chen Xiao.
They were not making sarcastic remarks, but rather felt a sense of desolation.
Because humanity's fate was sealed, and everyone was destined to die!
