After Ouyang Ding saw Chen Mo coming over, all he could do was retreat slightly. But the area of flames had expanded, and it was spreading toward the passage. There were still many people standing behind him, so after Ouyang Ding backed up two steps, he bumped into someone else.
Before he could keep squeezing through with a roar, Chen Mo was already standing in front of him.

Chen Mo said nothing. He reached out, grabbed Ouyang Ding by the collar, then slapped him across the face over a dozen times, backhand and forehand.
For a moment, aside from the crackling of the burning flames and the roaring of the Black Shadows in the darkness, there was now the sound of slaps as well.
Those dozen-plus slaps beat blood from the corners of Ouyang Ding's mouth.

After he finished hitting him, Chen Mo let go, then grabbed another fellow and continued with another dozen-plus slaps.
That person had originally seen Ouyang Ding being beaten and wanted to turn and leave, but Chen Mo moved too quickly. Before grabbing Ouyang Ding, he had tapped this man once, and the fellow's body had instantly gone rigid, unable to move in the slightest.
Then he watched Ouyang Ding get beaten. After Chen Mo put Ouyang Ding down, he grabbed him up next and gave him over a dozen slaps too.
