A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2266 Siege And Kill

At the peak of Mount Kransbay, the blood-red aura surged, and the Dragon Gate opened. Beyond the horizon, thunder rumbled, and heavenly beings descended upon the world! The terrifying aura surged like a mighty river, sweeping and rushing forward. Almost everything in the world trembled violently in his majestic presence. Under the dark night, everyone could vaguely see a figure, enveloped in lightning, walking with a sword on his back. The golden Power of Lightning burned on his body like streaks of flame. Everyone was frightened by this terrifying scene.

“Is... is he even a human?”

“Could it be that the Lord has arrived?

Chen Jiuzhou stared in shock at what lay before him. The only thought that occupied his mind at the moment was that Sky Gate Formation had been successfully activated, allowing his Master's physical body to break through the seal and emerge from the endless abyss. However, this idea was quickly dismissed by Chen Jiuzhou. So far, Chu Tianqi was still on the summit of Mount Kransbay, holding a grand sacrificial ceremony. Moreover, the sixth Dragon Gate had only been opened halfway.

“No, he's not the Master! Who is this man? Is he human or a ghost?” Chen Jiuzhou and the others looked around, their eyes filled with confusion as if facing a formidable enemy. However, it seemed like Ye Qingtian had noticed something. His body trembled violently, and his eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.

Originally filled with despair, he now felt a growing flame of hope burning within him, radiating with increasing intensity. At last, a cold voice echoed from the end of the horizon.

“Chen Jiuzhou, you're right. I am not your Master. I am the one who is going to kill you!”

Swoosh!

The moment the words fell, a streak of vibrant rainbow light flashed by. It moved with incredible speed, almost like teleportation, as it pierced through the void! By the time Chen Jiuzhou reacted, a flying sword had already appeared in front of him. The hefty sword bore the weight of time, evident in the marks of age etched onto its body. The ancient divine sword emanated a profound sense of dignity.

And so, with great fury, the sword dashed toward Chen Jiuzhou. Chen Jiuzhou was shocked. He immediately made a move against the attack. He felt as if he had mustered all the strength he had in his life. However, despite Chen Jiuzhou's best efforts, his attacks proved utterly futile against the opponent's long sword, crumbling in an instant. In the next moment, all that was heard was a miserable scream. Chen Jiuzhou's entire arm was directly severed by the flying sword. The deep crimson blood dyed the dark night a brilliant shade of red!

“Hall Master Chen!”

King of Fighters and Sword Saint, along with others, were undoubtedly dumbfounded. After all, Chen Jiuzhou was the strongest individual ranked under the four giants on Empyrean Ranking. But now, he couldn't even block a single sword strike from their opponent. The opponent's strength undoubtedly exceeded everyone's expectations.

“Who is this? Who are you, really? Tell me! Who are you?” Under the dark night, Chen Jiuzhou's face was distorted due to the piercing pain. Blood flowed like a stream from his severed arm. But even so, Chen Jiuzhou gritted his teeth and stood up.

He clutched his arm, his face twisted in pain, and let out a desperate roar toward the front. He couldn't believe that in this world, apart from The Great Four and Chu Qitian, there existed someone who had attained such an incredible level of strength. The other party remained silent in response to Chen Jiuzhou's roar. However, his advance never came to a halt. It was only when that thin,

handsome face appeared before everyone's eyes that a familiar voice reverberated throughout the scene.

“I am Hall Master of Dragon God Hall, Chu Tianfan.”

Boom!

The news struck everyone like a thunderbolt. The moment Ye Fan's words rang out, everyone on Mount Kransbay was shocked, their eyes wide with astonishment. Chen Jiuzhou was even more furious, his eyes turned bloodshot with rage!

“Chu... Chu Tianfan? How... How is this possible? This is absolutely impossible!” Everyone was on the verge of madness upon the revelation. Chen Jiuzhou even started yelling hysterically, to the point of almost forgetting the pain in his body. He looked ahead in disbelief at the figure before him. He couldn't believe it.

How could someone who had already died in a nuclear explosion possibly reappear?

However, as that person's face and figure appeared in his line of sight, Chen Jiuzhou realized that no matter how much he shook his head or cried out, he couldn't deny the reality that lay before him. Ye Fan was really standing right in front of him.

“It's... it's Ye Fan... It really is Ye Fan... This guy, he... he really didn't die...” Lying on the ground, the nearly dying War God, Ye Qingtian, gazed into the distance at the slender figure. As he looked at Ye Fan's delicate face, two lines of murky blood tears streamed down his own cheeks. No one knew just how excited and overjoyed Ye Qingtian felt at that moment. The previous despair and helplessness vanished in an instant when Ye Fan appeared. For some unknown reason, upon seeing Ye Fan, Ye Qingtian felt an inexplicable sense of calm and stability in his heart. That feeling was as if, as long as he was present, even if the sky were to collapse, there would be nothing to fear. Ye Fan would always find a solution.

Isn't it so?

Back in the day, it was a catastrophe when Chu Sect waged war on the world. Yet, under Ye Fan's control, it was eventually resolved peacefully. Now, Ye Qingtian firmly believed that Ye Fan would once again emerge as the world's savior. Not only Ye Qingtian, but Aaron and Carlo were also getting excited.

“We're saved. Haha...”

“We're saved...”

“Chu Tianfan isn't dead, Chu Tianfan is still alive.”

“He returned with Dragon God Hall.”

“We're saved. This world is saved...” Carlo and Aaron trembled as they beheld Chu Tianfan, who appeared like a godly warrior descending upon the world. The intensity of the moment brought them to the brink of tears.

The sensation of narrowly escaping, of witnessing the dawn amidst the darkness, always filled one with exhilaration. However, amidst the excitement, Carlo and his friends quickly realized that something was off.

“What's going on?”

“How come it's just him?”

“Where are the other powerful individuals from Dragon God Hall?”

“Could it be that this guy came here on his own?” Aaron and the others quickly noticed that behind Ye Fan, there was not a single person. The grand spectacle of thousands of troops besieging Mount

Kransbay in their imagination did not materialize. Ye Fan was the only one fighting alone, bravely facing the battle by himself. Upon witnessing this scene, the passion that had just ignited within Aaron and the others instantly cooled down.

After all, at this very moment on Mount Kransbay, there were dozens of supreme grandmasters alone. There were also The Great Four on Empyrean Ranking. Even if Ye Fan managed to reach the foot of Mount Kransbay on his own, he would likely find himself trapped in a tightly-knit encirclement.

“How can he be so silly...” Aaron and the others were filled with sorrow. They felt that Ye Fan's actions were too impulsive and that he hadn't made sufficient preparations. At this moment, Chen Jiuzhou still hadn't recovered from the shock. Still finding it hard to believe, he asked Ye Fan, “Are you a human or a ghost?”

“How could you possibly still be alive? We saw you die with our own eyes in the nuclear explosion back then!” Chen Jiuzhou angrily questioned Ye Fan.

With Sword of Yunyang on his back, Ye Fan stood firmly on the ground, his face expressionless as he said,

“What does it matter if I'm a human or a ghost? All you need to know is that your doom has arrived.”

Ye Fan's icy words were like a death sentence for Chen Jiuzhou and the others. Chen Jiuzhou endured the intense pain, gritting his teeth and said, “How dare you say that?”

“Can't you see the situation clearly? Behind me, our people stretch across the mountains and fields, ready to fight. What do you have to oppose us? Whether you're human or ghost, since you've set foot on Mount Kransbay today, I'll ensure that your soul and spirit are scattered!” Chen Jiuzhou roared in frustration.

“Is that all you've got?” Ye Fan's indifferent gaze swept over Chen Jiuzhou, who was covered in blood.

“Of course not!” Chen Jiuzhou's eyes narrowed, and he immediately called for help.

“Where are the Supremes of other nations?” Upon Chen Jiuzhou's command, dozens of terrifying auras surged forth from within a hundred miles at the foot of Mount Kransbay. Like countless rivers converging into the sea, all the supreme grandmasters gathered together in one place! The largest- scale siege in the history of the martial arts world had commenced.
