A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2210

This Chen Jiuzhou is so powerful! The might of that single punch was no less than Chu Yuan's. If he gave it his all, he would be very close to even if not of god realm. How could this happen? Where did this guy come from? How have I never heard of him?

Ye Fan began to wonder, for Chen Jiuzhou's sudden appearance took him by surprise.

Though he had heard Li Er and the others mention Chen Jiuzhou and the Empyrean Ranking before this, Ye Fan did not really care as he thought only worldly men would come up with arbitrary rankings to court fame.

However, now it seemed that was clearly not the case, for their powers had utterly exceeded his expectations.

Ye Fan could not help feeling puzzled.

Why have I never heard of these people? How did they appear like mushrooms after the rain upon the destruction of Chu Sect and Chu Yuan's death?

Upon careful rumination, their sudden emergence was undoubtedly strange, but now was not the time for Ye Fan to ponder over it.

I don't care where Chen Jiuzhou came from. I will not let him go since he sought trouble at Jiangdong. However, most of my elemental force was spent treating Angie before this. If I continue fighting him like this, I may not be able to beat him. It looks like I have to use that.

Atop Yunzhou, Ye Fan, who had just stabilized himself, put on a grim expression.

The look in his eyes remained inscrutable as he fixed his gaze on Chen Jiuzhou, who was standing before him.

Seeing how Ye Fan was bracing himself to face a formidable enemy, the expression on Chen Jiuzhou's face grew smugger than ever.

“It looks like you're aware that you are no match for me, Chu Tianfan. I won't lie to you. That strike was only around seventy percent of my power. If you know what's good for you, get on your knees and accept death. End your life. Spare me the necessity to do it myself. Otherwise, your death would be a gruesome one.”

Chen Jiuzhou burst out into insolent laughter, his eyes filled with arrogant glee.

Ye Qingtian wiped the blood from the corner of his lips before persuading, “Enough, Jiuzhou. We are all compatriots, so let's just draw the line here. There is no need for the two of you to continue this duel. If word gets out, we'll become the laughingstock among the entire martial arts world all over the globe.”

Chen Jiuzhou, on the other hand, did not pay Ye Qingtian's words any mind.

“You are old, War God. Since you've already stepped down, step aside and watch with your mouth shut. Besides, with me around, you have no say in the affairs of China's martial arts world.”

“You...” Chen Jiuzhou's blunt words angered Ye Qingtian to the point that his face turned pale.

It was only at that moment that he realized that it might not be a wise choice to hand the venerable position of the head of China's martial arts world to Chen Jiuzhou.

It hasn't even been that long, and he's already behaving so insolently.

While Ye Qingtian tried to talk sense into Chen Jiuzhou, Ye Fan lifted his cold gaze and stared at Chen Jiuzhou.

A vague glint flashed across his dark, abyss-like pupils.

Then, Ye Fan's stentorian proclamation rang across the entire area.

“You want me to end myself? Isn't it a little early to say these things, Chen Jiuzhou? Do you think that I, Chu Tianfan, am that pathetic? Watch and learn. I am going to show you the true extent of my power.”

At that, Ye Fan stomped on the ground.

Boom!

A rumble exploded forth with the force of a thunderbolt, causing the earth to crack open and the mountains to tremble.

As if struck by an earthquake, the entire city of Yunzhou began to wobble beneath Ye Fan's feet.

While shock inundated everyone, Ye Fan turned in Mount Yunding's direction and roared, “Sword!”

Thousands of meters away, the mountainside of Mount Yunding erupted at Ye Fan's command.

A thick antique longsword soared from the depths of the mountain toward the sky, bringing with it an almighty force that resembled a monster beneath the ocean and a dragon in the skies.

The ancient sword, having materialized in the world, streaked across the sky to answer the summon of its master.

Its astonishing speed left shock waves in its wake, looking like green lightning from afar.

In the blink of an eye, Li Er and the rest saw a green light come charging in Ye Fan's direction before stopping and hovering right before him.

“Is this...”

Li Er and the others widened their eyes in shock at the sight.

“The Sword of Yunyang! The legendary sword of the Chu family! Mr. Chu somehow managed to summon the Sword of Yunyang!”

Li Er raised his voice, almost yelling in agitation at that point.

He would never forget the battle on Mount Yunding.

Faced against the head of Chu Sect, Tang Yun, Ye Fan had been in a dire situation when he drew the Sword of Yunyang and turned the situation around.

And now, the Sword of Yunyang has appeared again! It looks like Mr. Chu is determined to fight the Hall Master of War God Castle, Chen Jiuzhou, to the death!

Whoosh!

The green light illuminated the sky as the gale howled.

Soaring into the skies, Ye Fan held the Sword of Yunyang.

The power of heaven and earth contained within the longsword flooded continuously into Ye Fan like water escaping a dam.

The crowd witnessed Ye Fan's withering aura being revitalized with terrifying speed until he finally rose with the brilliance of the sun and the might of a dragon.

“What? This kid even has such a trick up his sleeve? D*mn it! What sword is that?”

Sensing the new-found force of Ye Fan's aura, Chen Jiuzhou, who was initially confident, had a grim look marring his countenance all of a sudden.

An unprecedented grave expression emerged on his face and erased all traces of contempt from before.

Apparently, the energy flow from Ye Fan's body was so strong that it gave Chen Jiuzhou palpitations.

“I thought it would be easy to defeat Chu Tianfan. Now, it appears I have underestimated him.”

Chen Jiuzhou wore a stony expression as he realized that a vicious battle was unavoidable.

Looks like I might have to mobilize the secret techniques of Dragon Gate. Otherwise, I'm not even sure if I could beat Chu Tianfan. At this point, it is too late for me to back down.

“You jerk! You're courting death! Since you're obstinate, let's fight! I, Chen Jiuzhou, will tear you into pieces today! I will have you, Jiangdong, and the whole world know what happens to those who defy me!” Chen Jiuzhou fumed, the flames of his anger rising uncontrollably. As he bit the tip of his tongue, a vicious murderous intent swelled in his chest.

Just when Chen Jiuzhou was about to unleash his full power and lay his life on the line, a lady emerged from the crowd.

Dressed in a plain, long, white skirt, her dark hair fell casually over her shoulders, making her look like a solitary nun who cultivated in seclusion.

To everyone's surprise, the seemingly ordinary-looking woman remained unfazed by the power of the supreme fighters as she stepped into the battlefield, ignoring the people around her.

“Do you have a death wish?”

“Get out of the way!”

Jin Bao and Yin Bao, who were not far away, shouted at the woman who so haphazardly intruded into the battle. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

However, the woman did not heed their words and continued striding forward.

At last, she reached out and patted Chen Jiuzhou on the shoulder.

“It's over!”

Jin Bao, Yin Bao, and the rest were certain that the woman had met her end.

Chen Jiuzhou is not known for his benevolence. Touching his shoulder at this time is equivalent to prodding a tiger's buttocks—both will lead to certain death.

While Jin Bao and the others were dreading what would happen next, Chen Jiuzhou turned around and saw who it was. Immediately, his stern expression was replaced by one of humble respect.

“What are you doing here, Master? Let me handle this small fry. You don't have to take any action.” Chen Jiuzhou spoke subserviently after a momentary pause.
