More than two hundred members of the Jiang Family fell to their knees and begged for mercy, their faces deathly pale and their eyes filled with fear.
Cold sweat poured down their backs, and terror gripped their hearts.
With nothing more than a casual move, Ye Hao had sliced every member of the Li Family in half!
Especially the Li Family's four old ancestors—they were all at the Half-step Spirit Sea Realm!
Even someone at the Half-step Spirit Sea Realm could crush dozens of late-stage Qi Realm cultivators single-handedly!
Yet Ye Hao had single-handedly crushed the Li Family's four Half-step Spirit Sea Realm ancestors!
It went without saying how terrifying Ye Hao's true strength was!
At this moment, even the most foolish among them knew that the Ye Family was far from being as simple as it appeared on the surface!
"Ah... ah...! My legs! My waist!"
"Wah... ah! Ah! Wah! My legs! Wah!"
"Ah—ah— it hurts, it hurts!"
The more than two hundred members of the Li Family screamed in agony. Some cried out from physical pain, while others had lost both legs, with everything below their waists gone. Unable to accept such a reality, they broke down and shrieked incoherently.
The Li Family members' chaotic screams sounded as though they were suffering the cruelest torture in hell, making everyone's hair stand on end.
The people from East Moon City's local factions saw this scene, their faces turning deathly pale as they instinctively retreated several steps.
The sight before them had terrified them to their very souls.
On the rooftops in the distance stood a great many martial artists. They were a mixed lot, with all kinds of people among them.
At this moment, astonishment filled their faces as they were shaken to the core. "Ye Hao is actually at the Spirit Sea Realm? Wasn't he at the Qi Condensation Realm? Wasn't he bullied by Li Lengxuan for a full five years? This... this makes no sense at all!"
Countless people were baffled.
The lord of East Moon City was also watching from somewhere, his heart filled with layers of doubt. How could Ye Hao be at the Spirit Sea Realm?
The city lord's son, Xia Zhangjian, had come to watch the excitement—or more precisely, he had come to see Ye Hao in pain!
But instead of seeing what he had expected, he witnessed a scene that made his hair stand on end!
At the same time, he found it impossible to accept.
How could Ye Hao be at the Spirit Sea Realm?
And at only seventeen years old!
Even in the Great Zhou Royal Family, surely those prodigious princes and princesses couldn't possibly break through to the Spirit Sea Realm at such an age, could they?
At most, they would only have reached the Qi Realm!
Xia Zhangjian's state of mind collapsed.
Beside him stood a White-robed Girl of exceptional beauty. She was Xia Zhangjian's younger sister, Xia Zining.
She was classmates with Ye Hao.
Having been classmates for five years, she could be said to understand Ye Hao extremely well.
He was timid.
He lacked backbone.
He had no courage.
He was utterly a coward.
Yet the events of the past month or so had left her utterly dumbfounded. She had even begun to doubt her own ability to judge people.
Xia Zining's beautiful eyes gazed at Ye Hao in the distance.
At this moment, Ye Hao was like a god!
The people from the top factions hidden in the shadows also revealed looks of shock.
Was Ye Hao at the Spirit Sea Realm?
If he was at the Spirit Sea Realm, didn't that mean Ye Hao's talent in martial arts even surpassed Ye Wuchen's?
If Ye Hao wasn't at the Spirit Sea Realm and was merely at the Qi Realm, then that was even more terrifying!
Using the Qi Realm to crush the Half-step Spirit Sea Realm!
Such battle prowess across realms could only be achieved by the prodigies of the major factions!
"The Ye Family is so powerful. It seems they have some kind of trump card... I must report this to the sect at once."
The people hiding in the dark immediately took out voice transmission jade tablets and informed their sects of what had happened here.
The people from the other top factions also sent messages one after another.
At this moment, in front of the entrance to Ye Manor.
The young men and women of the Ye Family stood with their mouths agape, each of them displaying astonishment.
"Ye... Ye... Ye..." One of the youths was so shocked that he stammered.
"Ye... Ye... Hao, how are you so... powerful?"
The Ye Family youth stammered, staring at Ye Hao in disbelief.
Especially Ye Chen and Ye Feng. Both of them wore expressions of sheer astonishment as they stared at Ye Hao in shock.
They knew Ye Hao was powerful, but they had never imagined he would be this powerful!
The Lin Shige sisters were even more stunned, their hearts trembling violently.
Their Young Master was actually this powerful!
They suddenly remembered Ye Hao telling them earlier that they were martial arts prodigies, and then making them kneel.
Thinking back now, Young Master had been testing them...
Testing whether they had developed other thoughts, believing that their talents were so high that being maids was beneath them.
Young Master had been testing them...
Compared with Young Master, they were nothing at all.
"Ye Hao, my Jiang Family admits its mistake! I hope you can spare the Jiang Family. My Jiang Family is willing to hand over all its wealth, solely to atone for our sins," the Jiang Family's old ancestor shouted loudly at this moment.
Then, disregarding his dignity, the Jiang Family's old ancestor directly kowtowed.
The people from the local factions felt somewhat wistful at the sight, and rather impressed as well.
To preserve the lives of his entire clan, the Jiang Family's old ancestor had even cast his dignity aside.
"Spare you?"
Ye Hao smiled faintly. "If my Ye Family had been no match for you today, would your Jiang Family have spared my clansmen? I'm guessing you would have pulled up the roots and wiped us out completely."
The Jiang Family's old ancestor's face turned ashen, but he still pleaded, "Young Master Ye, please show mercy."
Ye Hao's expression remained calm.
His eyes suddenly erupted with a burst of red light.
The light shot in every direction!
Countless streaks of red light, like bolts of lightning, tore through the air and struck the Jiang Family members directly!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...
The red light pierced straight through their foreheads. The Jiang Family members shuddered, rolled their eyes back, and then collapsed limply to the ground, never breathing again.
Seeing this, the people from the local factions felt their hearts clench and instinctively retreated several more steps.
They were horrified at the same time.
What was this?
His eyes could actually shoot out countless streaks of red light? And each one could lock onto a different member of the Jiang Family!
When ordinary people attacked, didn't they normally gather spiritual power with their fists and feet before firing it out?
The young men and women of the Ye Family were completely dumbstruck. Even his eyes could release spiritual power...
The onlookers in the distance were also shaken to the core.
Especially the people from the top factions. Every one of them wore a look of horror.
For the eyes to withstand the circulation of spiritual power meant that Ye Hao's eyes had undergone extremely powerful tempering!
And his physique was extraordinarily strong!
Was he cultivating both body refinement and martial arts?
"The Jiang Family has been wiped out. Now it's the Li Family's turn."
Ye Hao spoke indifferently.
As his voice fell, a highly unusual stream of spiritual power surged forth, capable of producing sound waves! The sound waves even possessed direct offensive power.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...!
The members of the Li Family suddenly sprayed blood from their mouths and noses and once again let out terrified screams. Then their voices abruptly ceased!
The more than two hundred members of the Li Family had completely stopped breathing!
Seeing this, the people from East Moon City's local factions trembled inwardly once more, listing the Ye Family as a force that absolutely could not be provoked!
As for the people from the top factions hidden in the dark, they all fell silent. Their hearts churned like stormy seas, surging without end.
With only a few words, Ye Hao had crushed the Li Family's clansmen!
The power of those sound waves was terrifying.
"Return to the sect!" A Spirit Sea Realm martial artist from the Ask Sword Sect spoke sternly to his companions.
