Chapter 2042: Zhang family head
The Zhang family head fell silent upon hearing those words.
“Although your speed is fast, this is still the Zhang family. Do not forget that!”
The Zhang family head spoke to Ye Li coldly.
Ye Li’s face remained expressionless, and he smiled faintly.
“I haven’t forgotten. Isn’t the Zhang family nothing more than a trifling existence?”
Hiss…
As soon as he uttered those words, everyone in the Zhang family collectively gasped in shock. No one could have imagined that Ye Li would actually dare to say such a thing.
“You… How dare you talk like that?!”
Suddenly, the Grand Elder of the Zhang family erupted in rage.
Yet Ye Li’s expression remained unchanged. He looked at the furious Grand Elder calmly.
“You, a mere ninth-tier Heavenly Saint-level warrior with B-level genes, what makes you qualified to speak to me?”
“You… What did you just say?!”
The Grand Elder’s expression turned icy cold, unable to believe what he had just heard. Ye Li’s audacity was beyond anything he could fathom.
“You, you, you…”
The Grand Elder stared at Ye Li with a piercing glare, his face darkened to an extreme degree.
But alas, Ye Li’s face showed no signs of fear or trepidation.
“Step aside. You are not worthy to speak to me.”
Ye Li spoke to the Grand Elder slowly and deliberately.
The Grand Elder of the Zhang family, standing tall and dignified, could not endure Ye Li’s arrogance any longer.
“Die, you insolent wretch!”
In a flash, the Grand Elder threw a fierce punch toward Ye Li.
The Grand Elder’s speed was extraordinary, reaching Ye Li in almost an instant.
His fist aimed directly at Ye Li’s body!
But just as the punch was about to land, the Grand Elder was sent flying backwards.
Impossible!!!
Witnessing this, everyone in the Zhang family was utterly shocked and horrified.
Once again, they hadn’t even seen Ye Li make a move, yet the Grand Elder was blown away.
It must be noted — the Grand Elder was a ninth-tier Heavenly Saint-level warrior with B-level genes!
And yet, a ninth-tier martial artist was rendered so utterly powerless in front of this person?
“I told you, you are not qualified to speak to me,” Ye Li said indifferently, staring at the Grand Elder lying on the ground. “Why won’t you believe me?”
The members of the Zhang family exchanged shocked and bewildered glances upon hearing this.
Neither the head of the Zhang family nor the other elders could have anticipated the sheer extent of Ye Li’s strength.
“You… How can you possibly be this strong?!”
The Zhang family head fixed his gaze on Ye Li.
“I have always been this strong. Do you have any objections?”
Ye Li spoke to the Zhang family head calmly.
Upon hearing Ye Li’s words, flames of boundless fury surged above the Zhang family head.
“You wretch, prepare to die!”
With those words, the Zhang family head attacked Ye Li.
A colossal hand formed from condensed spiritual power struck toward Ye Li at an unprecedented speed.
The Zhang family head was a tenth-tier Heavenly Saint-level warrior with B-level genes.
Everyone in the Zhang family stared intently, too absorbed to blink.
They were intent to see if Ye Li could withstand the family head’s attack.
But what happened next was utterly beyond their ability to accept.
Just as the massive spiritual-power-infused hand was about to strike Ye Li, he raised a single finger.
This finger contained no spiritual power whatsoever!
Yet, with this unadorned finger, Ye Li lightly tapped on the giant hand, causing it to vanish instantly.
“Impossible!!!”
This scene hit everyone in the Zhang family like thunderbolts crashing down. Their eyes widened to the largest they’d ever been, while their jaws dropped so low a giant bowl could fit inside.
Staggering amounts of shock painted their faces.
After all, the family head was a tenth-tier Heavenly Saint-level warrior with B-level genes.
And yet, his full-force attack had been neutralized by a single finger bereft of spiritual power?
Could they have… Seen this wrong?
Members of the Zhang family rubbed their eyes furiously, convinced that their vision was deceiving them.
But no matter how much they rubbed, the outcome remained unchanged.
“A pathetic tenth-tier warrior with B-level genes,” Ye Li said flatly, fixing his gaze on the Zhang family head. “And you dare raise a hand against me? Truly foolish!”
With those words, Ye Li vanished using Swift Steps.
As Ye Li disappeared, the Zhang family head’s pupils shrank dramatically as he frantically searched for Ye Li’s presence.
The Zhang family disciples did the same, scanning everywhere for Ye Li’s shadow.
But how could they possibly find him?
Ah!!!
While the Zhang family searched for Ye Li’s figure, a piercing scream suddenly rang out.
Everyone in the Zhang family turned their eyes toward the source of the sound!
And the moment they looked, they were filled with unspeakable shock.
For the head of the Zhang family was already lying sprawled on the ground.
Just like the Third Elder before him, his right leg now bore a vividly horrifying wound.
Cold sweat drenched every member of the Zhang family from head to toe!
The fear was overwhelming!
They could swear this was the most terrifying moment of their lives!
The family head, who was supposedly invincible, was so utterly powerless before Ye Li?
How strong was Ye Li?
The Zhang family members realized they didn’t dare let themselves imagine an answer.
“Honored elder, it was all the Zhang family’s fault. Please spare us. We beg for mercy!”
Suddenly, the Second Elder of the Zhang family dropped to his knees and pleaded.
He wasn’t foolish—he knew they stood no chance against Ye Li.
Aggravating Ye Li would mean annihilation, not just for the family head and the Grand Elder but for the entire Zhang family.
Ye Li’s face remained unflinching, and he stared calmly at the kneeling Second Elder.
“Tell me, is the Zhang family nothing more than a pitifully weak clan?”
“Yes, yes… We are absolutely nothing but a weak and pitiful clan.”
The Second Elder dared not offer even the slightest rebuttal and answered hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Li slowly raised his palm.
A gentle swirl of spiritual power emerged from the palm.
The soothing spiritual power drifted toward the wound on the Zhang family head’s right leg.
Soon, the wound on his leg began to heal.
Seeing this, the Zhang family collectively exhaled with relief. The tension they felt dissipated slightly, and their racing hearts began to calm.
“Honored elder, you are unbelievably powerful!”
The Zhang family head got up and immediately expressed his awe toward Ye Li.
This wasn’t flattery—it was a sentiment coming straight from the heart. Ye Li’s strength was beyond belief!
In the family head’s view, Ye Li might very well be the most terrifying warrior with special genes in the entire world!
Facing Ye Li, he felt that even the chance to cling to life was out of reach.
