Uncle Wu had a crushing defeat, his figure flung and smashed onto the ground, struggling for a moment before losing all strength to get back up.

At this moment, Uncle Wu's eyes were filled with shock. He never imagined that someone he hadn't taken seriously would be so formidable. Even though he had some suspicions, he was powerless in the hands of Ye Fan, unable to accept this reality.

He clearly understood that the moment he clashed with Ye Fan, he felt threatened. Before this, he hadn't sensed anything extraordinary about Ye Fan. Yet at that exact moment, when his inner shock just began to surge, he suffered a thunderous strike.

"How can his speed possibly be faster than mine? How is it possible!!" Uncle Wu thought incredulously.

"What?"

"This is impossible!!!"

"Absolutely impossible!!!"

The five patriarchs of the Li Family were flabbergasted, each jumping up from their seats, trembling as they looked at the awe-inspiring Ye Fan and the heavily injured Uncle Wu. A tidal wave of shock rolled through their hearts, unable to remain calm any longer.

The five of them were full of confidence, believing they understood Ye Fan well enough, but Ye Fan's strength gave them a resounding slap. It left them dumbfounded, unable to comprehend how Ye Fan achieved this, turning Uncle Wu into such a state in the blink of an eye, which showed that Ye Fan's combat power was even more terrifying than Uncle Wu's.

"In Huaxia's Ground List, there isn't such a figure. That is common knowledge."

"Then, who on earth is he?"

"Why does he possess such terrifying combat power, more terrifying than Uncle Wu, a powerhouse on the Ground List?"

"Who is he, truly?"

"He must have an unspeakable identity and background, otherwise, he couldn't be this powerful."

The head figures of the five big families were utterly baffled, their hearts shocked to the extreme, flooding through their every cell.

The Huaxia Ground List refers to those with high danger factors. These individuals' strength surpasses the level of the seven-star realm but doesn't reach the realm of those who have surpassed Human Body Limit. Yet they possess the power to completely overpower seven-star experts, hence they are on the Ground List.

The five of Li Chenggui naturally understood the intelligence thoroughly, believing Ye Fan possessed nothing extraordinary, at best an elite among seven-star experts, still a distance away from the Ground List's range. But the current facts became an uproar.

Initially, they thought Ye Fan had no match for Uncle Wu's skills, yet reality wasn't that simple.

In fact, each of the five big families has one expert who made it to the Ground List. Their numbers are few, with one each, serving as their greatest reliance. Even the Li Family only had Uncle Wu as a powerhouse under special circumstances for intimidation, while their Human Body Limit expert kept a high profile, rarely appearing and seldom intervening.

"Could he be Chu Mengyao's greatest reliance then, what is his actual strength?" Li Chenggui and the five had too many unresolved questions and were unable to judge Ye Fan's real strength and where it truly lies in the hierarchy.

"Old thing, let you be arrogant." Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi displayed a relieved expression.

Chu Mengyao looked at Ye Fan with utmost gentleness and not a hint of worry, knowing that this so-called Uncle Wu was no match for Ye Fan, so there wasn't any fretting.

She glanced at the now dumbfounded five of Li Chenggui, secretly muttering, "Weren't you all so arrogant just now? How come you're all deflated now, scared, aren't you?"

"Hmph!!" Li Chenggui and the five snorted in anger, glaring at Chu Mengyao without uttering a word.

They indeed had no more grounds to mock Chu Mengyao or to underestimate Ye Fan's abilities.

"Let's wait and see, just one Ye Fan, can he turn the skies? If we can't resolve this now, we'll just settle it properly later. We refuse to believe we can't handle one person." The leaders of the five big families thought this way.

"I said before, let you kneel and apologize to Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi." Ye Fan walked towards Uncle Wu and said indifferently, "I meant what I said, and you must also pay the price for your foolish behavior."

"Ignorant brat, how dare you." Uncle Wu was furious, coughing up a few more mouthfuls of blood. Being utterly defeated was already an immense humiliation—how could he kneel and apologize, this was worse than death.

"Noisy!" Ye Fan coldly scolded, grabbing Uncle Wu's neck as if clutching a chick, forcibly pressing down, making him kneel in front of Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi.

Uncle Wu struggled desperately, but under Ye Fan's control, he was heavily injured and unable to break free.

This is how Uncle Wu had no choice but to kneel on the ground.

"Young punk, I'll kill you, I'll skin you alive." Uncle Wu spat blood incessantly in rage and roared repeatedly.

"Save your petty threats, in my eyes, you're nothing." Ye Fan said indifferently.

"Pff!" Uncle Wu spewed another mouthful of blood, almost dying from anger.

"Ye Fan, no point in humiliating even a defeated foe."

"Indeed, what kind of man humiliates others this way."

"You've already defeated him, that's justice for Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi. Why go so far as to insult someone?"

Li Chenggui and the five couldn't bear watching any longer, speaking out angrily in righteous indignation.

"You five old folks, if my master hadn't won, today we'd be in ruins here, do you still have the face to say empty words, aren't you ashamed?" Qiu Wen shouted.

"Not killing him is already a gift, do you have the face to speak sarcastically?" Du Xueqi mocked.

"…" The five of Li Chenggui were speechless, unable to retort, indeed, if the person on the ground were Ye Fan, then, with Qiu Wen and Du Xueqi, all three dead wouldn't be a matter for the five big families.

But now, they were completely on the losing side, a situation once firmly in their grasp was overturned by Ye Fan just like that.

"Those who don't offend me, I don't offend them. If people offend me, I will kill them." Ye Fan looked at the five of Li Chenggui and said calmly, "I hope you will act wisely, otherwise there'll be no words after taking your heads."

Li Chenggui and the five were furious, but they could only swallow this humiliation, unable to argue against Ye Fan now.

"Let's go," Ye Fan gently said, looking towards Mengyao.

"Okay," Mengyao replied softly.

The four of them walked away without any hindrance.

"A gentleman can die but not be humiliated."

"I was personally trained by Li Family's Human Body Limit expert; humiliating me is to humiliate my mentor."

"I don't care if I lose face, but can't and dare not lose face for my mentor."

"I can only use death to wash away this shame."

Uncle Wu muttered to himself, then suddenly lunged towards the wall.
