A crisp slap rang out, not only reaching everyone's ears but seemingly freezing the air around them.
At that moment, the world fell silent.
Most of the onlookers looked utterly bewildered. Only a few had actually seen what happened.
Ruo Huaying stared at Chen Changan's back, her face filled with shock.
A High-level Saint!
Was he really only at the High-level Saint realm?
Chang Kongming, meanwhile, looked not only furious but deeply confused.
"Just now... what exactly happened? That sound—why did it sound so much like someone getting slapped?"
"Exactly, I thought so too. But I couldn't see whether anyone really got slapped."
"Could that kid have charged in recklessly and gotten slapped by Chang Kongming?"
"Do you really have to guess? That's definitely what happened. He overestimated himself and got taught a lesson."
"But why do I feel like... something's off? Look at Chang Kongming's face. He looks like he's the one who got slapped."
"He's just angry. Someone's causing trouble—how could he not be angry? And you think he got slapped? What a joke."
As far as these people were concerned, even if someone had been slapped, it had to be Chen Changan. It could never have been Chang Kongming.
Mu Yunyao and Xue Kui had heard the onlookers' discussion too, but neither paid it any mind. After all, even if they argued with them, those people wouldn't believe them.
If that was the case, why waste their breath?
"You actually dare to hit me?"
"I..."
Smack!
Chang Kongming hadn't finished speaking when another crisp slap rang out.
This time, Chang Kongming was left reeling by Chen Changan's blow.
He couldn't see it or defend against it!
He hadn't caught a single movement from Chen Changan, and hadn't even seen him do anything.
While Chang Kongming stood there
