The punishment of facial tattooing, where words are engraved on the face and ink is applied, is considered one of the lighter forms of punishment.
This kind of punishment is not primarily about physical harm; it mainly causes an indelible psychological humiliation.
In full view of everyone, Chen Tang used the Swordsmanship of the "Riverside Preface" to carve a character on Xia Yuanxian's face, achieving a similar effect.
The harm is minimal, but the humiliation is immense!
If it was someone else, it would have been enough for Chen Tang to simply defeat them.
But since Xia Yuanxian was overly arrogant, merely defeating him wasn't enough; Chen Tang needed to completely destroy his Dao Heart and will!
He also needed to restore the reputation of the "Riverside Preface"!
"Good!"
Madam Su, witnessing this scene, struck the ground with her Dragon Head Staff, sweeping away the anger in her heart, and praised aloud.
"Yuanlin."
