2059 Slap!

Bu Hong?

Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes immediately when he heard the true disciple's words. Although he had never met this person before, he had certainly of his name.

Bu Hong was a true disciple ranked second on the True Ranking. He had broken through to the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage a few years ago. He was one of the strongest disciples among the true disciples in the Fire Worship Sect. Naturally, he was also one of the Eight Great Prodigies in the Fire Worship Sect. He was the direct disciple of the Sanctum Leader of the Azure Dragon Sanctum, and he was the senior brother of Wen Yan who was previously ranked ninth on the True Ranking.

Since Duan Ling Tian had been ranked on the True Ranking, those who were ranked from the fourth to the bottom of the ranking had dropped a place. The person who was ranked last on the True Ranking previously had been eliminated from the rankings.

Currently, Wen Yan was ranked tenth on the True Ranking. Her ranking was in a precarious state since she could be kicked out of the top ten at any time.

"He ranks second on the True Ranking, and his cultivation base is at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?" Duan Ling Tian's eyes narrowed when he learned the young man standing next to Wen Yan was Bu Hong. He knew they had come with ill intention. Bu Hong had come to avenge Wen Yan!

Duan Ling Tian had already prepared himself for this.

'I can't believe Bu Hong returned while I was serving in the Enforcement Hall.' Duan Ling Tian was certain about this. Otherwise, Bu Hong would not have waited until now to look for him.

"Senior Brother, he's Duan Ling Tian!" From afar, Wen Yan pointed at Duan Ling Tian as she said to Bu Hong in an aggrieved tone, "Previously, he slapped me numerous times, publicly humiliating me. It's acceptable if I'm the only one who's humiliated. However, his actions implicated you and master as well. To those who don't know better, they'd think that you and master can't even protect me!" Wen Yan complained tearfully to Bu Hong who was standing next to her, fanning his flame of anger.

"Don't worry, junior sister. I'll definitely avenge you!" Bu Hong cast a doting look at her when he heard her tearful complaint.

When Bu Hong shifted his glance from Wen Yan to Duan Ling Tian who was standing in the distance, his eyes gleamed with terrifying killing intent.

It was obvious Wen Yan had succeeded in fanning the flames of Bu Hong's anger.

In the Fire Worship Sect, the two most important people to Bu Hong were his junior sister and master. The true disciple, Duan Ling Tian who was standing in the distance, did not only humiliate his junior sister, but humiliated his master indirectly as well. How could he not be furious?

The Saint Land disciples standing behind Bu Hong and Wen Yan were undoubtedly here to watch the show.

Bu Hong had shouted so loudly earlier, it was only obvious everyone was alerted by it.

When they discovered today was the day Duan Ling Tian left the Enforcement Hall, they all knew they would have a show to watch.

"Senior Brother Bu Hong seems really angry…"

"How could he not be angry? Senior Sister Wen Yan is his only junior sister. She was humiliated by Duan Ling Tian, it would be strange if he isn't angry!"

"That's right! If it wasn't for the fact that Senior Brother Bu Hong wasn't in the Fire Worship Sect before this, he would have looked for Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian a long time ago. With Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian's current strength, I'm afraid he's no match for Senior Brother Bu Hong."

"Of course! Senior Brother Bu Hong is ranked second on the Fire Worship Sect's True Ranking. His cultivation base has already entered the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage a few years ago. How can Duan Ling Tian who's only ranked fourth compare to him?"

"It seems like Duan Ling Tian's doomed today. His innate talent might be quite good, but currently, his strength is far from being comparable to Senior Brother Bu Hong."

The Saint Land disciples standing behind Bu Hong and Wen Yan who came to watch the show began to discuss among themselves. Naturally, there was a minority who had differing opinions.

"Hurmph! If I'm not mistaken, previously when Duan Ling Tian was faced with Yang Wen and Wen Yan, all of you thought Duan Ling Tian was inferior as well, right? However, what was the result in the end?"

"That's right! All of you were given a figurative slap in the face by Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian in the end, right?"

"I admit I used to look down on Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian. However, every time I was so embarrassed when I was proven wrong. Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian doesn't adhere to common logic!"

"It doesn't matter who all of you think will win. I have faith in Senior Brother Duan Ling Tian. I think he's amazing. So what if his opponent is a powerhouse at the Third Form of the Saint Celestial Stage? He would have to yield in the end as well!"

Although there were a few people who supported Duan Ling Tian, their voices were overwhelmed by other people's voices since there were only a few of them who thought that way. Most people felt that Duan Ling Tian was doomed now that he had met Bu Hong.

...

Meanwhile, Bu Hong and Wen Yan approached Duan Ling Tian and stood opposite him.

"Duan Ling Tian, do you remember how you humiliated me that day?" Wen Yan said as she stared at Duan Ling Tian coldly.

"Humiliate you? Did I?" Duan Ling Tian said calmly as though the matter was so insignificant he could not remember it.

Wen Yan was furious when she heard this. Her expression changed immediately as she said coldly, "Duan Ling Tian, you're a man. Don't tell me you're going to deny it?!"

"Deny what?" Duan Ling Tian continued to ask indifferently, "Are you saying that I humiliated you?"

"Didn't you?!" Wen Yan's gaze turned cold. Her voice was cold as well when she said, "Don't tell me you've forgotten about how you publicly slapped me and humiliated me. Don't tell me you don't think it's an act of humiliation?" Her expression turned grave when she recounted what had happened. In the end, she was so infuriated that she had an ugly expression on her face!

"Oh, you're talking about that. I would've forgotten about it if you didn't mention it." Upon hearing Wen Yan's words, Duan Ling Tian feigned a knowing expression as though he had just remembered this incident. He said, "It wasn't my intention to humiliate you when I slapped you…" He paused for a moment before he continued to say, "I think it's beneath me to even make an effort to humiliate you. I only slapped you because you're an eyesore. That's all there is to it!"

Duan Ling Tian's words infuriated Wen Yan, causing her face to turn red. She was rendered speechless for a long time.

Clamor!

The Saint Land disciples who came to watch the show broke out in an uproar when they heard Duan Ling Tian's words.

"Duan Ling Tian is really amazing! To think he's bold enough to say it's beneath him to even make an effort to humiliate Wen Yan?"

"Doesn't he know the person standing next to Wen Yan is Senior Brother Bu Hong. Look! Senior Brother Bu Hong's expression is extremely grim now," someone said as he clicked his tongue.

"It probably didn't occur to Senior Brother Bu Hong that Duan Ling Tian would dare to act so arrogantly in front of him. There's a possibility Duan Ling Tian doesn't know that's Senior Brother Bu Hong!"

"Perhaps, Duan Ling Tian doesn't know that he's in danger right now!"

Bu Hong's expression turned extremely grave as the Saint Land disciples discussed among themselves.

"You're Duan Ling Tian?" Bu Hong's eyes gleamed with terrifying killing intent as he stared at Duan Ling Tian intently like a snake looking at its prey.

However, Duan Ling Tian merely ignored Bu Hong. Instead, he looked at Wen Yan and said indifferently, "Wen Yan, you're no longer afraid of me because you have someone helping you now?"

"So what if that's the case?" Wen Yan replied icily. Excitement rose in her heart when she saw Duan Ling Tian ignored her senior brother. She knew her senior brother was completely furious now.

Duan Ling Tian brought this upon himself. In her opinion, Duan Ling Tian was seeking death by ignoring her senior brother!

"So what if that's the case?" Duan Ling Tian laughed when he heard Wen Yan's words. He stopped laughing after a short time. His eyes turned cold as he suddenly charged toward Wen Yan, catching her off guard.

"Let me tell you, even if your senior brother is next to you, I can still slap you if I want to!" Duan Ling Tian's voice rang in the air, catching everyone present on the scene by surprise. He moved as fast as a bolt of lightning.

Bu Hong was momentarily stunned. He quickly regained his senses as his expression turned grimmer. He yelled, "You're seeking death!" He quickly charged at Duan Ling Tian as well. It was apparent he was trying to stop Duan Ling Tian from slapping Wen Yan.

Slap!

The crisp sound of a slap rang in the air. One side of Wen Yan's face began to swell.

Bu Hong did not manage to come to her rescue.

The Saint Land disciples present on the scene were shocked.

They did not expect Duan Ling Tian was so bold that he dared to slap Wen Yan in front of Bu Hong. He had slapped her so hard that her face had swelled up.

The Saint Land disciples could not help but gasp when they saw this. Many of them looked at Duan Ling Tian with a hint of pity in their eyes.

"Die!" An angry voice reverberated in the air, causing the Saint Land disciples to shift their attention to Bu Hong's lightning-fast figure.

At this moment, Bu Hong was only a foot away from Duan Ling Tian!
