Before Grandmaster Liu could react, Ye Jiu's fist had already struck his other arm!
"Crack!"
Again a bone-cracking sound is heard, and Grandmaster Liu's arm dropped powerlessly, clearly broken!
"Thump! Thump!"
Next, two dull thuds were heard, and Grandmaster Liu actually fell to his knees!
His legs were twisted in an irregular manner, clearly broken just like his arms!
"Ah! You deserve to die!"
Grandmaster Liu's face was pale, and he shouted like a madman.

Ye Jiu smirked in disdain, "You're not even capable of killing me!"
Upon saying that, he kicked Grandmaster Liu in the chest, sending him off the platform.
"Any other Tians up for a fight?"
With his hands behind his back, Ye Jiu stood tall on the platform, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the Tian family members below.
"Damn! This guy's so fierce? Even Grandmaster Liu is no match for him!"
"This isn't just a match, this is a total crush!"
"This guy and that useless son-in-law are done for! Grandmaster Liu was sent by the Bada Gang to take charge of Jinling, and on the first day, he got trashed. The Bada Gang won't let this go easily!"
...
Grandmaster Liu lost so quickly that when everyone came to their senses, they all wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
Faced with Ye Jiu's query, none of the Tian family dared to respond.
It was a joke – even the Bada Gang's Grandmaster-level powerhouse was easily crushed; going on stage would be like seeking death.
"Since none of the Tian family cowards dares to fight with me, let me ask again, does anyone else want to challenge me?"
Ye Jiu spoke again, but still, no one dared to answer.
Seeing that the crowd was silent, Ye Jiu sneered, "If no one dares to come up for a fight, then Lin Family takes the championship of this martial arts conference!"
"If anyone disagrees, feel free to come find me, Ye Jiu, for a battle any time!"
Having said that, without caring whether the people agreed or not, Ye Jiu leapt off the platform.
"My lord!"
"Hmm, you did well."
Ye Ling nodded with a smile, standing up and preparing to leave.
Seeing Ye Ling and Ye Jiu getting ready to leave, Lin Jianyang also promptly stood up to see them off.
"Where are you off to, Family Head Tian?"
But before he could take a step, the sound of Ye Ling's voice, tinged with a smile, had already come from the entrance.
Tian Xiong stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the two figures of Ye Ling, swallowing hard.
"Why are you in such a panic, Family Head Tian?"
"Could it be that I, Ye Ling, am a man-eater?"
Ye Ling said with a smile.
He strolled leisurely towards Tian Xiong, as if all the members of the Tian family standing around were nothing but decorations.
Ye Jiu followed closely behind Ye Ling, and the two quickly approached Tian Xiong.
"Heh... hehe, Young Master Ye must be joking!"
"I just need to use the restroom urgently!"
Tian Xiong said cautiously, glancing at Ye Jiu beside him before speaking to Ye Ling.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling let out a cold laugh and said, "Family Head Tian, I have come to the Tian family for two things."
"First, I need an explanation for the matter of your son poisoning Elder Su with a gu toxin."
"Second, the affairs of my Ye family from years ago also need to be settled."
With that, Ye Ling boldly took a seat in the position that belonged to Tian Xiong, the Family Head of the Tian family.
Under Ye Ling's gaze, a terrified Tian Xiong managed to say, "Young Master Ye, the matter of the gu poison was all done by my good-for-nothing son, Tian Bin. I truly had no knowledge of it!"
As for the matter of the Ye family from years ago, how dare Tian Xiong even mention it!
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Ling stepped forward, grabbed Tian Xiong by the neck, and lifted him off the ground.
An intense sensation of suffocation swept over him instantly, and Tian Xiong thrashed about, trying to break free from Ye Ling's grasp.
But the strength of Ye Ling was immense, not something Tian Xiong, at the peak of the dark energy, could struggle free from.
"I'm giving you a chance, don't squander it," came Ye Ling's icy voice.
Tian Xiong nodded hastily, and Ye Ling finally released his grip.
Collapsed on the ground, Tian Xiong heaved great gulps of air.
After catching his breath, Tian Xiong finally said, "Young Master Ye, the matter of the gu toxin was orchestrated by Zhao Qingming, the eldest son of the Zhao family from Jiangnan Province!"
"Though my Tian family is one of the ancient martial families of Jinling City, we are nothing compared to the Zhao family!"
"We dared not defy the orders of that young master Zhao!"
Tian Xiong confessed everything, not daring to hide a single detail.
Considering his own life, Tian Xiong did not hesitate to betray the Zhao family.
The Zhao family was powerful, but they couldn't take his life right away.
But Ye Ling before him was different; if his words failed to satisfy Ye Ling, he would die the next second.
