Chapter 53 The Pinnacle of the Grandmaster Realm
Six Bright Energy Martial Artists, how could they possibly be a match for Ye Jiu.
Let alone six Bright Energy Martial Artists, even six Grandmasters wouldn't be able to stop Ye Jiu.
Your adventure continues at empire
Ye Jiu was like a ferocious tiger entering a flock of sheep, a mere movement from him could cause tremendous harm to the flock.
At best severe injuries, at worst death!
In the blink of an eye, the six Bright Energy Martial Artists who served as the Protectors for the Zhao family lay scattered on the ground.
It was only because Ye Jiu didn't want Su Rou to see a bloody scene that he didn't exert his full strength. Otherwise, with his power, he could instantly turn the six Bright Energy Martial Artists into a blood mist just by releasing his internal energy.
"Let's go!"
Ye Ling spoke up, and the Family Head of Hu, who was the driver, didn't hesitate any longer, immediately starting the car and driving into the Zhao residence.
Ye Jiu did not get into the car but casually walked alongside the vehicle.
When the car came to a stop, Ye Jiu stepped forward to open the car door for Ye Ling.
"Rou'er, just wait for me in the car for now."
"After I deal with the Zhao family's matters, we'll leave here," Ye Ling said to Su Rou sitting beside him.
Although Su Rou's health had greatly improved compared to before, she could still suffer a relapse if subjected to any shock.
Considering Su Rou's safety, Ye Ling had her wait in the car for him.
It seemed Su Rou knew why Ye Ling had come to the Zhao family and her complexion changed slightly.
But when she saw the look in Ye Ling's eyes, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to say anything.
Ye Ling closed the car door and said to the Family Head of Hu who had gotten out of the car, "Keep her safe."
"Yes, Divine Doctor Ye!"
The Family Head of Hu naturally wouldn't refuse and responded immediately.
From another Rolls-Royce, four men wearing training outfits also quickly got out and stood guard around Su Rou's car like sentinels.
These four men were the Family Head of Hu's bodyguards, and their strength was also at the Bright Energy level. Both the Hu and Zhao families, despite their considerable assets, found it very difficult to hire any Martial Artists above the level of Dark Energy to serve them!
In such wealthy families, Martial Artists at the level of Dark Energy were generally considered as Guest Elders.
Unless the family was facing a great disaster, these Martial Artists at the level of Dark Energy would not easily make a move.
The Family Head of Hu also didn't get in the car but, like those four guards, stood quietly next to the vehicle.
Watching Ye Ling and Ye Jiu disappear from view outside the car window, a hint of dejection flashed in Su Rou's eyes.
If it weren't for her medical condition, Ye Ling probably wouldn't have let her stay alone in the car.
When Ye Ling and Ye Jiu entered the Zhao family's main hall, the hall was already filled with Zhao family members.
An old man with white hair and beard was seated in the main chair, his indifferent gaze sizing up Ye Ling and Ye Jiu as they walked into the hall.
Most of the people present were ordinary, but the four middle-aged men standing behind the old man exuded the aura of late-stage Dark Energy!
Even the aura of one of them was almost at the peak of Dark Energy, and with a little time, he would be able to break through to the peak of Dark Energy!
Four late-stage Dark Energy Martial Artists, with such strength, the Zhao family could be considered among the strongest in Gusu City!
To think that in a family like the Hus, there were only two Dark Energy Martial Artists, one at the late stage and the other at the middle stage.
However, to Ye Ling and Ye Jiu, Martial Artists of Dark Energy weren't much different from those of Bright Energy, both just as easy to crush with bare hands!
"Are you Ye Ling?"
The old man's gaze, sharp as an eagle's, was fixed firmly on Ye Ling as he asked coldly.
Ye Ling nodded his head, acknowledging this without denial.
"Why are you not staying in Jinling City, and instead coming uninvited to my Gusu City, to my Zhao residence?"
"Give me an explanation, or you won't be leaving Gusu City!" The old man's eyes were shadowy, his words laced with a thick intent to kill!
Hearing this, Ye Ling chuckled lightly and said, "There's nothing urgent, I just came to the Zhao family to ask the Family Head a question?"
"Speak!"
The Family Head's brow twitched, spitting out a single word.
"If one day I leave Jiangnan, I wonder how the Family Head will treat the Su family of Jinling?"
Ye Ling asked indifferently.
Hearing this, the Family Head's face darkened, his eyes overflowing with murderous intent.
"Hmph! Even if you were still in Jiangnan, I wouldn't let the Su family off!"
"I originally had no deep grudges with the Su family, merely wanting their properties; I had no intention of annihilating them!"
"But you have provoked my Zhao family time and again, even grievously wounding my youngest son, crippling his limbs. This hatred and grudge can only be quelled with your blood, and that of the Su family of Jinling!"
As his words fell, the Family Head waved his hand toward the four dark energy Martial Artists behind him!
Immediately, the four Martial Artists sprang into action, like sharks that had smelled blood, charging toward Ye Ling and Ye Jiu!
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, that answer was certainly straightforward!
"Ye Jiu!"
No sooner had he spoken, than Ye Jiu preempted the attack, beating the four dark energy Martial Artists to the punch and positioning himself in front of them!
"Dare to strike at the master, mere dark energy Martial Artists?"
Ye Jiu spoke in a cold voice.
He then grabbed one by the neck and with a casual twist—
"Crack!"
A sharp and grating sound of bone breaking resonated, and the Martial Artist in Ye Jiu's grip went limp, plummeting toward the ground.
A Martial Artist in the latter stage of dark energy, regarded as a Protector by the major families of Gusu City, died like that in the hands of Ye Jiu!
The other three went pale at the sight and scrambled backward, their eyes filled with terror when they looked at Ye Jiu!
"You chose to act, and now you think to escape?"
Ye Jiu scoffed disdainfully.
Swift as a specter, he appeared instantly before another.
"Bang!"
A punch landed in the abdomen of the dark energy Martial Artist, sending him flying like a cannonball toward the Zhao Family Head sitting in the chair!
"Family Head, be careful!"
A Ming energy Martial Artist standing beside the Family Head changed color, preparing to use his body to block the flying Martial Artist.
"Get out of the way!"
"I don't need your protection!"
Yet his well-meaning act was completely disregarded by the Family Head, who pushed him aside with a shove.
The Family Head's withered and thin body seemed to undergo a transformation at that moment!
A grandmaster-level aura erupted from within him, and the dark energy Martial Artist about to collide with him was instantly torn to shreds, reduced to flesh and blood scattered across the ground!
"Grandmaster realm pinnacle... how interesting..."
Seeing this, Ye Ling murmured softly to himself.
In just that short span of time, Ye Jiu had taken care of the other two dark energy Martial Artists, then fixed his sharp gaze directly onto the Family Head!
"Good! Very good!"
"You think just because you are a Grandmaster, you can swagger around the Zhao family?"
The Family Head glared at Ye Jiu, hissing through clenched teeth.
Although the four dark energy Martial Artists were not a significant concern for the Family Head, Ye Jiu's actions without a doubt were rubbing the Zhao family's face in the dirt!
