The question had only just surfaced in Zuo Guannan's mind.
The next instant, the answer thundered out!
Boom!!!
An immensely powerful shock wave suddenly erupted on the distant platform!
It was the terrifying blast produced only when someone shattered the earth beneath their feet through sheer strength!
The entire city lord's residence shook violently. Countless wine cups shattered, and guests on every side cried out in alarm!
"What happened?!"
Zuo Guannan whipped his gaze toward the sound.
There, on the lower platform shrouded in dust,
the young man in an official robe had appeared at some point.
His expression was indifferent, one hand held behind his back. He showed no concern whatsoever that this was Snow God City's home ground.
Nor did he spare any consideration for the guests gathered around him!
Beneath his foot,
Zuo Qitai, who had been swaggering arrogantly just a second earlier, had more than half his body stomped deep into the ground!
Every tendon and bone in his body had snapped, and blood gushed from his mouth!
"Aaah... Father..."
Zuo Qitai's face was covered in blood. Agony twisted his features as he tried to raise his head and beg for help, utterly terrified.
Boom!!
An immense, terrifying pressure crashed down from above!
Crack! Crack!
His already ruined bones and tendons shattered again beneath that pressure. Zuo Qitai was almost crushed into a puddle of flesh!
Strangely, however, his head never touched the ground.
As though pulling up a radish,
Rrrip!
Ye Li exerted strength with one hand, wrenching that blood-soaked head and the limp body attached to it out of the rubble, then raising them high!
Blood dripped everywhere, a horrifying sight!
The entire gathering fell deathly silent.
Everyone was stunned senseless by the sudden, bloody spectacle. They even forgot to breathe.
"City Lord Zuo."
