Open up and break into another world

“WHO IS IT!!??”

Li Xiujie roared at the sky in anger.

Smack!!

The answer to him was a crisp and loud slap.

“I…” Li Xiujie was about to go crazy!

This damned slap! — You could say it's fine if it came at other times!

But, it just had to pop up at the crucial moment of the martial arts tournament, it's really too bullying!

“This is too much!!”

Smack!!

“Who is it!? Who exactly is it!!??”

Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack! …

“Uh…” The Overlord Realm experts watching the battle were all dumbfounded, “What’s going on!?”

“Why are there so many slaps appearing on Li Xiujie’s face for no reason?”

“That’s right! How strange!”

“Could it be… is someone slapping Li Xiujie?”

“Isn’t that nonsense? If no one is slapping Li Xiujie, could it be that Li Xiujie is slapping himself?”

“But… there are layers of formations within Myriad Realms Island; who could possibly slap Li Xiujie’s face through the layers of formations?”

Smack smack smack smack…

The sound of slaps continued.

Li Xiujie was filled with anger, but had nowhere to vent it, he couldn’t even shout loudly — as soon as he roared at the sky, before he could even finish a sentence, he didn't know how many slaps would land on his face.

The Overlord experts watching the battle were both shocked and puzzled — because, with their eyesight, they couldn’t even detect where the slaps on Li Xiujie’s face were coming from.

“Damn it!!” Li Xiujie was about to collapse — he was participating in the martial arts tournament, with these constant slaps, how was he supposed to properly participate in the martial arts tournament?

Moreover, Li Xiujie was sure that many of the experts watching outside were definitely laughing at him!

“Damn it!!”

“Damn it!!!”

The Holy Emperor City Lord’s expression was a little ugly — he had originally been very optimistic about Li Xiujie! Even, in his heart, he had actually regarded Li Xiujie as the first choice!

But, the martial arts tournament had just begun, and Li Xiujie had been slapped into this state; could the Holy Emperor City Lord continue to be optimistic about Li Xiujie?

The one with the ugliest expression was undoubtedly the Li Family Head!

In fact, the Li Family Head had long known about Li Xiujie’s inexplicably slapped “symptoms”; however, the Li Family Head had tried his best, but was unable to detect the origin of these slaps.

Now, in this important martial arts tournament, this “symptom” reappeared; how could the Li Family Head’s expression be good?

“Elder Bai!” The Li Family Head couldn’t help but plead, “Please take action and investigate the origin of these slaps…”

Elder Bai thought for a while and said, “Actually, last time, I helped Xiujie investigate; but at that time, Xiujie had already finished being slapped, and I couldn’t investigate it!”

“Elder Bai, Xiujie is still being slapped now; with your attainments in the Dao of Karma, you will definitely be able to investigate it!” The Li Family Head said repeatedly.

Looking at the Divine Domain, beneath the Saints, no one could compare with Elder Bai in the Dao of Karma!

Therefore, in the Li Family Head’s opinion, as long as Elder Bai took action, he would definitely be able to investigate the origin of the slaps! Unless… the slaps Li Xiujie received came from a Saint!

But… a Saint taking action to slap Li Xiujie?

Hehe! To be honest — Li Xiujie’s face is not qualified to be slapped by a Saint! If a Saint really disliked Li Xiujie, they would directly kill him with a single thought, there wouldn’t be so much trouble!

“I’ll try!” Elder Bai didn’t dare to speak too confidently.

He held his breath and stared intently, operating a secret technique, and probed towards the slaps on Li Xiujie’s face.

Buzz…

Layers of karma fluctuations enveloped Li Xiujie’s surroundings silently.

Every slap that appeared out of thin air was within Elder Bai’s investigation.

“Who exactly is it?” Elder Bai was also very curious, the power of karma entangled with these suddenly appearing slaps, wanting to use the karma fluctuations to follow the vine and find the melon.

“Huh?”

However, in the next instant, Elder Bai was stunned!

“These slaps that appear out of thin air actually… have no karmic threads?” Elder Bai’s eyes were full of disbelief.

With Elder Bai’s understanding of the Dao of Karma, everything in the world should “have cause and effect”!

For example, why is Li Xiujie being slapped now? — Someone slapping Li Xiujie is the “cause”; Li Xiujie being slapped is the “effect”! And between “cause” and “effect”, there must be a “karmic thread” to maintain it!

But now, Elder Bai discovered that these slaps had no karmic threads!

This completely transcended Elder Bai’s understanding!

“Could it be… a Saint’s method?” Elder Bai couldn’t help but think.

Elder Bai found it difficult to speculate about what kind of methods a Saint had!

After all, Saints had always been mysterious; even existences at the Quasi-Saint level found it difficult to see Saints!

After quietly investigating for a while, Elder Bai had no choice but to put away the secret technique and shook his head, “Li Family Head, I can’t investigate it either!”

“What!?” The Li Family Head couldn’t believe it, “Elder Bai, how could you not be able to investigate it?”

In the Li Family Head’s opinion, Elder Bai shouldn’t be unable to investigate it!

Elder Bai added, “These slaps that appear out of thin air have no karmic threads at all, completely untraceable!”

“How is that possible!?” The Li Family Head was extremely shocked.

“Hiss—” The other Overlord Realm experts were equally shocked upon hearing this! — They all guessed that Li Xiujie had offended some super existence that he shouldn’t have!

Thinking of this, many Overlords subconsciously distanced themselves from the Li Family Head — although they didn’t know what kind of existence Li Xiujie had offended, it was always right to keep a little distance from the Li family!

Even the Holy Emperor City Lord began to seriously consider whether he should directly remove Li Xiujie from the list of candidates!

After all, judging from Li Xiujie’s appearance, he had obviously offended some super existence; and the most terrifying thing was that, until now, Li Xiujie and the Li Family Head still didn’t know who they had offended!

A powerful enemy hidden in the dark is the most terrifying!

…

The Six-Fingered Overlord’s zither music was still impassioned and exciting.

And Xu Ming, while listening to this exciting zither music, turned on the “Forced Slap” cheat and swung his slaps; gradually, the sound of slaps on Li Xiujie’s face became synchronized with the rhythm of the zither music!

The more Xu Ming slapped, the more energetic he became!

Smack! Smack smack smack! Smack smack! …

The sound of slaps was very rhythmic!

“Eh?” Among the experts present, the one most sensitive to rhythm was undoubtedly the Six-Fingered Overlord.

The sound of slaps surprised the Six-Fingered Overlord slightly, “What precise rhythm!”

As the saying goes: the music is too sophisticated, and few understand it.

At the Six-Fingered Overlord’s current realm, the rhythm changes infinitely within a single piece of music!

It was already extremely difficult to keep up with his sense of rhythm; it was even more difficult to keep up with the rhythm with unparalleled precision!

But now, the Six-Fingered Overlord was shocked to discover — the sound of slaps on Li Xiujie’s face actually kept up with his sense of rhythm!

This gave the Six-Fingered Overlord, whose music was too sophisticated for most, a feeling of “high mountains and flowing water meeting a kindred spirit”!

Thinking of this, the Six-Fingered Overlord couldn’t help but feel a little excited, and the zither strings in his hand were plucked faster and more varied!

He seemed to want to see if this “kindred spirit” could continue to keep up with his sense of rhythm.
