Divine Slapping Technique

Ren Yue's group threw everyone in the carriages and took them to their hideout. Their hideout is a day away from their current location.

This hideout is in the southern part of Dongchun City. However, this wasn't an official warehouse.

In reality, Ren Yue's group had constructed this warehouse somewhat away from the outskirts of Dongchun City.

Grandpa Mo created this warehouse utilizing his control over Earth Ardor. He even infused the walls of this warehouse with sufficient Ardor to enhance its durability.

This was an extremely simple warehouse with ample space. There were only three rooms in this warehouse. One was for storing resources. The second was to imprison people. While the third was to interrogate prisoners.

"…What a huge treasure this is," Ren Yue's guard standing in the first room spoke as he stared at many resources.

"Yeah. I never imagined that assaulting caravans is so profitable," Another guard spoke while sighing.

"Hmph. Do you think it's so easy? Only because we have joined the Ren Family's faction can we enjoy these benefits! If we were ordinary bandits, those convoy guards would have slaughtered us effortlessly," responded a guard with a sneer.

"True. I think the young lady has changed a little since she escaped prison. I think it must be because of Sir Long's presence," a guard commented.

"That's right. I heard that this was all his strategy," Another guard complimented Long Chen.

At this moment, Long Chen and Ren Yue are in the third room. Zou Mu sat across the table, tightly bound to the chairs with Ardor restraining ropes. The effect of the paralysis had worn off.

Zou Mu glared at the two hatefully and spat, "How dare you bind me?! Do you know who I am?!"

"Why don't you tell us?" Long Chen asked playfully.

"Hmph. You must think I am stupid to do that," Zou Mu responded with a disdainful sneer.

Long Chen appeared surprised by that statement and asked Ren Yue genuinely, "Does he have a mind-reading skill? How did he know what I was thinking?"

"Maybe other people also think of him as stupid," Ren Yue instantly responded.

"…What did you say?!" Zou Mu shouted.

Long Chen nodded as he saw Zou Mu's antics and commented, "He really isn't very bright."

"Alright. Let's cut to the chase. Why don't you start by telling us your name?" Long Chen speaks as he suddenly pulls out a sword and points it at Zou Mu.

"Hmph. If you think that just threatening me with a sword is going to make me talk, then you really have shit-for-brai-…Ahhhh…" Zou Mu screamed loudly as Long Chen suddenly pierced his right arm.

"Hmm. Strange. You scream like a woman," Long Chen spoke as he quickly pulled out his sword and stabbed Zou Mu's thigh.

"Aahhh! Aoooww! You bastard! You fucking bastard! I will kill you! Aaahhh!" Zou Mu shouted while tears leaked from his eyes.

"…Oh damn. You will kill me, heh? I am so scared," Long Chen sneered in response as he stabbed a couple more points at Zou Mu's body. He naturally made sure not to strike a vital organ. It would be bad if Zou Mu suddenly lost his life. He was the only lead they had regarding this organization.

Ren Yue initially closed her eyes as she saw Long Chen torturing Zou Mu. She never thought that torture would look so horrific. She didn't believe Long Chen was actually so malevolent.

This torture made her recall Lian Ming. It was due to that woman she also went through hellish torture.

However, she soon controlled her sense of disgust and opened her eyes. There was a determined look in her eyes. She had to get used to this scenario.

If she had remained childish her entire life, she would never accomplish anything.

Meanwhile, Long Chen continues to berate Zou Mu and tortures him.

"What? No words now? Weren't you enormously proud of your identity? So use it!" Long Chen stopped using a sword to stab Zou Mu. Instead, he gives him a tight slap.

It was such a crispy slap that this sound resounded throughout the entire warehouse.

However, Long Chen didn't stop after one. He continued to slap Zou Mu repeatedly.

"You know I am just a 2-Star Warrior. How does it feel after getting slapped by a weak warrior like me?" Long Chen asked.

"I will kill you!"

"Sure, sure. Try your best, buddy! I wonder if you will kill me first or if I will slap you hundred times. Just ninety-nine times more to go."

This torture continued for the next two hours. Zou Mu screamed and cursed Long Chen with all his might, but he didn't say anything.

Long Chen was a bit tired, and he decided to call in Ren Yue's guards to continue the torture.

"Damn. This guy has thick skin. My palm is hurting after slapping him so many times," Long Chen spoke in a protesting tone.

The two guards who entered had a knowing smiles.

One of them immediately spoke, "Sir Long, I dare not boast of anything else in front of you, but I know a thing or two about slapping someone. Hehe…"

Long Chen asked interestedly, "Oh. Show me."

"Yes, sir!" The guard immediately approached Zou Mu and spoke, "It's a good thing that we have such a perfect target."

"When we want to slap someone strongly, we shouldn't just raise our hand and slap. We should target the ears of the target and turn your body this way before-Bam!" The guard explained as he slowly turned his body towards the left and suddenly slapped Zou Mu.

His hand perfectly struck Zou Mu's ears. The slap's force penetrated Zou Mu's ears and shook his entire skull.

Zou Mu felt as if his entire world was spinning.

Long Chen was speechless upon seeing this guard's slap shake Zou Mu so greatly. He never thought there was such a profound concept behind slapping.

"Please try, Sir Long," The guard spoke with a flattering smile as he stepped aside for Long Chen.

Long Chen did exactly as the guard had previously stated and vigorously slapped Zou Mu.

This was even stronger than the time the guard slapped Zou Mu. This slap made Zou Mu want to puke. But he held it inside while glaring at Long Chen.

The guard flattered Long Chen as he spoke, "What a crispy slap that was. It was so natural. It seems that Sir Long is innately talented in this skill.

Long Chen was speechless as he heard those words. He stared at his palm and really wondered, 'Is this my divine skill?'

"Can you smell a flowery scent?" Ren Yue suddenly asked.

The guard looked at Zou Mu and noticed that his pants were wet.

"Haha… Sir Long, you slapped him so hard that he peed. His pee is even releasing a flowery smell. Haha," The guard noticed that Long Chen seemed pleased by his fawning, so he continued speaking.

Long Chen frowned upon hearing those words. For some reason, this flowery smell seemed to be bothering him.

"Check out if you can smell this flowery scent from outside the warehouse," Long Chen suddenly ordered the guard nearby.

"...Eh?" The guard was startled by this order.

"Go!" Long Chen ordered with a worried look on his face.

"Yes, sir!" The guard immediately obeyed his order as he left the room.

After ten minutes, the guard returned to the third room and reported, "Yes, sir. The smell is faint, but I can smell this flowery scent."

Long Chen's complexion paled upon hearing those words.

He glared in Zou Mu's direction and saw him smiling with that swollen face.

"Kek. You finally realized it. That's right. We were all drenched in Red Flower Powder. My comrades will be here soon and kill you!" Zou Mu spoke with a victorious smirk.

Long Chen panicked upon hearing those words. However, he knew that showing his genuine emotions would just make the situation worse.

He could see the fear on Ren Yue and the guard's faces.

Long Chen responded with a composed look, "Don't fool yourself. The Red Flower Powder can only show its effect after two days. It has barely been a single day since we kidnapped you. We have plenty of time to escape."

His words calmed down Ren Yue and the guard.

Zou Mu didn't appear shaken by Long Chen's words and replied with a snicker, "We applied this powder nearly half a day before you captured me. So, I don't think you have a lot of time."

Long Chen's expression finally changed. He knew that Zou Mu was most likely speaking the truth. This meant they only had less than half a day to escape.

"I like that look on your face! Hahaha!" Zou Mu suddenly laughed aloud.

His laughter was interrupted as Long Chen suddenly slapped his face firmly.

Zou Mu was already on the verge of puking. He instantly vomited after suffering this slap.

"Your laughter is annoying," Long Chen spoke as he left the third room to talk with Grandpa Mo.

He needed to talk with them concerning their future plans.

"What should we do? This is genuinely surprising. I didn't think they would spray the Red Flower Powder on their warriors before sending them to guard the convoys. It was my carelessness," Long Chen spoke.

"We can't focus on what has happened. What should we do now?" Grandpa Mo immediately spoke.

Ren Yue suggested, "Let's pack up and leave."

Long Chen asked, "And what about these prisoners? They are crucial for the next phase of my plan. We won't have the opportunity to gather so many prisoners.

Ren Yue spoke, "I don't care. We must kill them all. They have seen our faces and are too dangerous to be left behind. Moreover, it will be even more challenging to take them along."

Long Chen felt a bit dissatisfied to hear those words. He tried to think of a way to transport these prisoners secretly, but unfortunately, he saw none.

He knew that this strange organization would most likely approach them cautiously. They will also keep an eye on all carriages leaving this area. Thus, it will be impossible to bring this many people along.

"Then let's start storing these resources," Long Chen spoke.

All of Ren Yue's guards helped her get those resources on a carriage. They tied all these boxes together with a strong rope.

In the meantime, Long Chen returned to the second room, where all the guards of the respective caravans were imprisoned.

"Greetings; I want to sign a contract with you all," Long Chen spoke with a nasty grin.

These prisoners had heard Zou Mu's screams and curses. Long Chen hadn't tortured them, but they felt that this man was most definitely a devil in human disguise. They definitely didn't wish to anger him and suffer the consequences, so they all nodded readily.

Long Chen appeared happy to see that they were willing to listen to the contract.

"Now, let's start…"
