Chapter 64 Blood Splatter on the Spot
Ye Jiu raised an eyebrow, a flash of murderous intent flickering in his eyes.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound reverberated, vibrating the eardrums of every guest present.
Zhao Qingming, the esteemed eldest son of the Zhao family, was kicked in the chest by Ye Jiu and sent flying outwards.
"Spurgh!"
Zhao Qingming landed awkwardly, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood as he did.
Even though he was gravely injured, he still clenched his teeth and slowly stood up, once again moving towards Ye Ling in an attempt to stop him from entering the back courtyard.
He knew very well what was happening in the back courtyard, and naturally, he couldn\'t allow Ye Ling to interfere with the major affair of the Zhao family.
"Courting death!"
Ye Jiu said coldly.
As soon as his words fell, Ye Jiu turned into a blur, and in an instant, he was already in front of Zhao Qingming.
Ye Jiu was a head taller than Zhao Qingming, looking down at him from a higher position.
Those icy, lifeless eyes were as if he were looking at a dead person.
Zhao Qingming shivered all over as he met Ye Jiu\'s gaze, a strong fear welling up inside him.
"You... what do you want to do?"
"This is the Zhao residence! The elite of Suzhou have gathered here; surely you don\'t want to kill me in front of all these people, do you?"
Zhao Qingming said through clenched teeth.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu\'s expression remained cold as he indifferently responded, "And what if I kill you?"
As his voice faded, Ye Jiu extended a finger and pointed it at Zhao Qingming\'s forehead.
A strand of energy burst from his fingertip, instantly piercing through Zhao Qingming\'s head!
A bloody hole went right through Zhao Qingming\'s forehead!
"Thud!"
The light in Zhao Qingming\'s eyes quickly dimmed, and his body crashed to the ground.
"Ah! Murder! There\'s been a murder!"
"Ye Ling is truly reckless and audacious, daring to have his subordinate kill Zhao family\'s eldest son in front of so many people!"
"Now this is going to be a spectacle, the Family Head Zhao\'s grand eightieth birthday has turned into his own son\'s funeral!"
...
The reactions of the guests were completely varied, with some screaming in fear and others sporting a look of schadenfreude, but most were indifferent to the unfolding drama.
What was strange though, was that with so many people present, not a single person took the initiative to leave the Zhao residence!
Clearly, everyone wanted to see how the Zhao family would deal with the master and servant who dared to kill Zhao Qingming at their home!
Ye Jiu didn\'t even glance at the dead Zhao Qingming, as if what he had just killed wasn\'t the Zhao family\'s important son but rather stepped on an ant on the roadside!
Ye Jiu turned around, once again casting his icy gaze upon Lin Yuan.
"What are you trying to do... My uncle is Lin Zhantian, if you kill me, my uncle won\'t let you off!"
Lin Yuan, knowing well that Ye Jiu was a man who feared neither heaven nor earth, involuntarily invoked the name of his most powerful backer, Lin Zhantian, the Grand Hall Master.
At that, Ye Jiu sneered and disdainfully said, "It seems you\'ve forgotten what my master said!"
"What is Lin Zhantian? He isn\'t even qualified to kneel and lick my master\'s shoes!"
"You still want to use Lin Zhantian to push me around?"
As his words fell, Ye Jiu appeared in front of Lin Yuan like a ghost in an instant.
With one hand, he grabbed Lin Yuan\'s neck and lifted him up entirely.
The feeling of suffocation swept through Lin Yuan\'s entire body instantly, as his limbs flailed wildly, trying to break free from Ye Jiu\'s control.
But what kind of strength did Ye Jiu possess? Even though Lin Yuan had reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, he was still just like a weak ant in Ye Jiu\'s hands!
"In your next life, remember not to rely on others to bully people, especially since your backer isn\'t all that impressive!"
Ye Jiu said indifferently, then the hand clutching Lin Yuan\'s neck twisted violently.
"Crack!"
The harsh sound of bone breaking instantly spread throughout the entire courtyard, and everyone froze, unable to believe that this pair of master and servant had truly dared to kill Lin Zhantian\'s nephew!
"You... you\'ve killed Young Master Lin, you\'re going to die! Ye Ling, that waste, will also die!"
"My Su family will be destroyed because of this, you two damn bastards have killed my Su family!"
Su Ya, who was beside them, finally reacted, charging at Ye Jiu like a shrew.
Ye Jiu frowned slightly and kicked Su Ya away, saying coldly, "Don\'t think I won\'t kill you just because you\'re from the Su family!"Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
Hearing this, Su Ya finally woke up from her reverie, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Just now, because of her hatred for Ye Ling and Ye Jiu, she dared to rush at Ye Jiu without any regard for the consequences.
But now, having come to her senses, she didn\'t dare make the slightest move.
The man before her, with his indifferent gaze, was the same who had killed not only the great young master of the Zhao family but also Young Master Lin.
Su Ya curled up on the ground, trembling violently from fear.
Ye Jiu snorted coldly and turned to follow Ye Ling.
It was only after the master and servant had disappeared from everyone\'s sight that someone dared to speak!
Previously, after Zhao Qingming\'s death, they still had the audacity to comment, but with Lin Yuan dead as Lin Zhantian\'s nephew, how many in Jiangnan dared to discuss his demise?
"Too ruthless. Not only did he kill the great young master of the Zhao family, but he also killed Young Master Lin… Just who is Ye Ling, and isn\'t he afraid of the Hall\'s retaliation?"
"Didn\'t that woman just say? Ye Ling is their Su family\'s son-in-law; maybe he doesn\'t even know how powerful the Hall is, so he dared to let his subordinate do such a thing, right?"
"Are you out of your mind? Do you know what kind of strength Young Master Lin possessed? The peak of the Grandmaster realm! That subordinate of Ye Ling easily killed Young Master Lin, he must be a half-step Great Grandmaster, or even a Great Grandmaster!"
...
The crowd burst into a new round of discussions, speculating on Ye Ling\'s identity and guessing Ye Jiu\'s strength!

There were only a few Great Grandmasters in the whole of Jiangnan, and among them, the Hall Master was one.
If Ye Ling\'s subordinate was a Great Grandmaster, then Ye Ling\'s identity would surpass everyone\'s imagination.
Enduring the severe pain in her body, Su Ya struggled to stand up and staggered away from the Zhao family courtyard.
She needed to report what had happened here to the Su family so that the old Family Head could drive out Ye Ling, sparing the Su family from involvement.
Ye Ling and Ye Jiu walked casually towards the Zhao family\'s backyard, their brows without a trace of worry.
"Zhao Kuangming, you are utterly heartless!"
"You actually want to take this opportunity to swallow up our major families!"
Before Ye Ling and Ye Jiu reached the backyard, they heard the angry curses coming from within.
Hearing this, Ye Ling\'s brows rose and he said with a smile, "It looks like the show has already started, let\'s go in and have a look!"
Ye Jiu, without a word, simply followed beside Ye Ling, like a guard who was dutifully responsible!
At this moment, in the Zhao family\'s backyard, several Family Heads were confronting the Zhao Family Head, and the atmosphere was tense and explosive!
The Zhao Family Head sat leisurely in his chair with those two sorcerers from the Witch Gate beside him, while the other Family Heads were angry and furious, seeming ready to kill the Zhao Family Head.
