The feet of the dozen or so Law Enforcement Hall disciples froze instantly in place!
Many of them had personally watched "Bai Zhirou’s" brutal matches from below the stage yesterday!
She had slaughtered even a Tier Two peak demon beast on the spot, left Gao Jinli unrecognizable, and remained completely unbothered when facing the pressure of a Peak Master.
Who would believe someone with such a ruthless style didn't have a backing behind her?
They weren't trash like Huang Tiannan, who relied on having an Elder for a grandfather and let his lower head control his upper head.
Offending a "Living King of Hell" for his sake was simply not worth it!
The Law Enforcement Hall disciples stepped back in tacit agreement.
Seeing that even the Law Enforcement Hall disciples had lost their nerve...
Terrified, he scrambled backward in sheer horror, his lower pants soaking wet as he dragged a foul, pungent trail across the floor.
Jiang Ye closed in on him, step by step.
With a sinister grin, he said:
“Did I... say you could leave?”
Swish!
Jiang Ye raised a foot once more.
《Great Wasteland Sky-Imprisoning Kick》
A giant phantom foot, even larger than the one before, descended from the sky!
Huang Tiannan watched the giant foot in horror and frantically summoned another high-grade defensive Magic Tool!
“Bang—!”
Before absolute damage, the magic tool shattered in an instant!
The phantom foot slammed him straight into the ground.
“AAAAAAHHH—!!!”
Huang Tiannan’s blood-curdling shriek resounded through the entire area!
The bones in both of his legs were completely broken, sharp bone shards piercing through his flesh and dripping with fresh blood.
Jiang Ye looked down at him from above, mocking sneeringly:
“Didn't you tell me to prove that I am myself?”
“I now suspect that you've been possessed by an evil disciple of a demonic sect!”
“I’ll give you ten breaths of time to prove that you haven't been possessed. Start!”
“Ten.”
“Nine.”
...
Listening to Jiang Ye’s ice-cold countdown, which sounded like the Grim Reaper marking his death...
...Huang Tiannan’s upper head finally began to function, and he realized just what kind of lunatic he had provoked!
Supporting his upper body with both hands and suppressing the excruciating pain, he apologized wildly, tears and snot smearing across his face:
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Junior Sister Bai... no! Senior Sister Bai!”
“I was wrong! I was just joking with you!”
However, the only response he received was Jiang Ye’s completely emotionless voice:
“Crying counts toward the time, you know.”
“Besides, I hate apologies after the deed.”
“Six.”
“Five.”
...
Huang Tiannan’s soul trembled violently, and he roared out in despair:
“I’m not! I really am not a demonic spy! How could I possibly be an evil cultivator?!”
Jiang Ye’s devilish whisper sounded:
“Oh.”
“I’m only treating you the exact way you treated me. What, you can't take it?”
“Three.”
...
Hearing that calm, unbothered countdown...
...Huang Tiannan broke down completely. Throwing caution to the wind, his eyes flushed red as he flew into a hysterical rage:
“Do you even know who my grandfather is?!”
“All I did was withhold your Foundation Establishment Pills so you couldn't get them before entering the secret realm! It’s not like I wasn't going to give them to you at all!”
“What right do you have to do this to me?! What right do you have to hit me?!”
“Two.”
Huang Tiannan went completely mad, throwing his head back and roaring:
“Bitch—”
“Bang!”
Before he could utter the next word...
...a green boot, packed with immense power, stomped directly onto his mouth!
The sheer force drove his entire head violently into the hard stone floor!
Crack! Crack!
The sickening sound of bone fracturing echoed clearly across the entire area!
Right at this moment...
...a figure sped over from the distance.
“Stop!!”
The newcomer was none other than Huang Tiannan’s older brother, Huang Tianbei—the genius alchemist of this generation in the Medicine Pavilion.
The moment he landed and saw his brother’s tragic state, with his head crushed beneath someone's boot, his eyes nearly tore out of his sockets as he roared in rage:
“What do you think you're doing?!”
Jiang Ye ground his right foot against Huang Tiannan’s head, glanced down, and spoke in a flat tone:
“He’s asking you, what are you doing?”
Everyone stared in utter shock at "Bai Zhirou’s" action.
He was obviously asking you!
The scene before him almost caused Huang Tianbei to burst with fury.
He had long heard about Bai Zhirou’s ruthless behavior on the stage—rumor had it she had nearly driven the young generation's battle pets of Beast-Taming Peak to extinction.
However, he never expected that his Medicine Pavilion, which had always held a detached status and remained neutral, would actually provoke such a lawless lunatic!
“Speak.”
Jiang Ye ignored the impotent rage of Huang Tianbei as his cold voice sounded once more.
“Who instructed you to withhold my Foundation Establishment Pills so that I wouldn't be able to achieve Foundation Establishment when entering the secret realm?”
Huang Tiannan’s mouth was stomped firmly into the pit by "Bai Zhirou."
Covered in blood, he could only let out meaningless, muffled grunts.
He wanted to speak too!
But his mouth was practically stomped to pieces! How was he supposed to open it?!
Jiang Ye waited for a moment.
He only saw Huang Tiannan struggling to stretch out a hand, clawing desperately in Huang Tianbei’s direction as if pleading for help.
“Fine. Your mouth sure is tough.”
Jiang Ye sneered.
“It seems you still intend to protect the person behind the scenes.”
Huang Tiannan’s eyeballs nearly bulged out of their sockets!
He released desperate grunts from his throat while his hands clawed frantically at the ground.
In his mind, he had already cursed eighteen generations of "Bai Zhirou’s" ancestors ten thousand times over!
Tough my ass!
Move your fucking foot and let me talk! Your fucking boot is practically shoved down my throat! Who the hell could speak like this?!
Jiang Ye clearly had no intention of letting him off from the start.
Right at this moment...
Huang Tianbei could no longer hold back!
He took a step forward, suppressing his anger, and growled through gritted teeth:
“Bai Zhirou!”
“There might be a misunderstanding between you two! My brother has always had a playful nature. Perhaps... he was just joking with you earlier!”
Jiang Ye slowly raised his head.
A dangerous glint flashed within those exquisite eyes.
“Joking?”
Jiang Ye tilted his head and sneered:
“Don't tell me you aren't aware of the consequences if I didn't get the Foundation Establishment Pills before entering the secret realm?”
“Besides, he dared swap my pills. He has already courted death.”
The moment those words landed, a wave of killing intent enveloped the area!
Huang Tianbei’s face darkened completely.
He was a genius of the Medicine Pavilion! Ordinarily, even Elders treated him with polite courtesy!
He gritted his teeth, uttering his threat word by word:
“Bai Zhirou, remove your foot immediately! And apologize to my brother!”
“Otherwise... the consequences will definitely not be something you can bear!”
In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Everyone held their breath.
Inside her mind, Bai Zhirou thought secretly: Oh no!
Based on her understanding of Jiang Ye over the past few days...
...he was definitely not someone who would take a threat lying down!
Because he would say: A mere NPC dares to threaten me?!
Sure enough.
Hearing Huang Tianbei’s threat, Jiang Ye didn't show the slightest hint of fear. Instead, his face beamed with excitement, and he grinned maliciously:
“Oh? You're threatening me?”
Then, he slammed his right foot down with violent force!
A ruthless stomp down!
“Bang—!!!”
A dull thud echoed.
Huang Tiannan’s head burst open like a rotten watermelon, splattering everywhere!
His hands, which had still been frantically clawing at the ground, stiffened abruptly before slowly coming to a complete halt, his breath gone forever.
He died so suddenly that he hadn't even realized it himself. Perhaps even in death, he never understood that the moment he harassed Bai Zhirou, his fate had already been sealed...
Jiang Ye looked up, a mocking grin on his face:
“Come.”
“Show me what my consequences look like.”
