A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1133 His Trump Card

The shock that Chen Ao was experiencing was no less than Li Er's.

He had not expected Ye Fan to have such a trump card hidden up his sleeve.

He was General Green Dragon, the man who commanded the most powerful military unit in China.

Such power did make him a match for the powerful Xur family.

"General Green Dragon, you say? I can't believe that a young man like you managed to attain such a great achievement at such a young age! Being the leader of Jiangdong wasn't enough for you, was it? You wanted to be a general too. I've sorely underestimated you," laughed Xur Jun-Lin suddenly after a long moment of stunned silence.

There was a strange undercurrent to his laughter.

It was the laugh of a defeated general, one that bristled with self-mockery and self-deprecation.

His cold eyes turned onto Ye Fan then. "But do you really think that you've won, Mr Chu? Do you really believe that the Xur family would be defeated by a nameless nobody like you? Do you really think that the three special troops are my final trump card?"

Xur Jun-Lin's raspy, cold laughter was as sharp as the edges of splintered rocks.

The stormy look on his face seemed to grow colder by the minute.

Tension grew in the air.

Li Er and the rest had believed that they were safe but now, they couldn't help but grow nervous.

Chen Ao's heart sank.

Did Xur Jun-Lin have something else up his sleeve?

The old general's cold and intimidating voice continued resounding in the air amidst their growing fears.

"Since I've decided to come to Yunzhou, I'm not going to arrive here without a few cards up my sleeve. I had thought that I wouldn't have need of this trump card but it seemed that I had underestimated my enemy. A man who could fell Elder Wei wasn't going to be an ordinary man. This ends here though. You're going to meet your worst nightmare. You should be honored to die by his hand," said Xur Jun-Lin with an icy look in his eyes as he laughed mirthlessly.

His laughter sounded like the gleeful howls of a wolf before it devoured its prey. The sound sent shivers down everyone's spines.

Li Er and the others paled instantly.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes shone with worry.

Everyone stared at Xur Jun-Lin with terror.

Nothing could be more terrifying than the unknown.

No one knew what Xur Jun-Lin was referring to when he talked about his final

trump card.

Xur He's eyes widened slightly when he heard his father's words. He seemed to know whom his father had been talking about. In fact, he appeared ecstatic.

"Are you talking about Uncle Long? This punk's dead then!" yelled Xur He gleefully.

"Is that so?" Ye Fan merely laughed softly. He seemed completely unafraid as he stood there calmly.

He was going to find out whom Xur Jun-Lin was talking about. Who was this nightmare that Xur Jun-Lin had bragged about?

Ye Fan's composure and mildly condescending tone clearly displeased Xur Jun-Lin and his son.

Even though the general managed to rein in his temper, his son couldn't and cursed at Ye Fan out loud.

"Punk, let's see how long you can keep that bravado up and how long you can pretend to be calm in the face of death! When Uncle Long appears, I doubt you'll look as calm as you do now," snarled Xur He as he struggled to his feet in spite of the pain that wracked his body.

He despised nothing more than audacious young men like Ye Fan who didn't know whom they were dealing with.

"You might have cowed an entire army and beaten the Warring Wolves, but that doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want. I told you. The military is filled with incredibly powerful fighters. There are others who can kill you even though the Warring Wolves have failed. You are no match for the power and influence of the Xur family!"

"You just don't know when to shut your mouth, do you?" Li Zi-Yang suddenly sent a hard kick towards Xur He as the latter rattled on and on.

He had kicked harder this time and the force of his kick sent Xur He flying a hundred meters into the distance.

"The earlier lesson didn't seem to stick. I probably didn't hit you hard enough. Instructor Chu isn't someone you can simply insult without any consequences," cursed Li Zi-Yang.

Xur He had not expected the sudden attack. Before he had realized it, he had flown into the air.

"You ruffians, how dare you act so disrespectfully before me! You will live to regret your actions," growled Xur Jun-Lin furiously. He turned and yelled into the distant horizon. "Bai-Chuan, show yourself."

What?

Bai-Chuan?

"Is he talking about the Military God of our country and the commander of the three armies, Long Bai-Chuan?"

Chen Ao trembled instantly when he realized whom Xur Jun-Lin and Xur He had been referring to. His eyes became was wide as saucers.

A deathly pallor settled on his face.

"Mr Chen, what's going on? Is this so-called Long Bai-Chuan really powerful? Is he more powerful than the special troops?" Li Er and the others appeared confused.

The look on Chen Ao's face told them that Long Bai-Chuan was clearly a terrifying character.

"Of course! He's the commander of the three armies and the Military God of China. He could take down the entire Xur family on his own. Every instructor in the army has to obey his command. In fact, he's in charge of the training plans for every soldier in the military. There's no one who holds greater authority in the military than this man!"

"The commanding officer of the Jiangdong military camp has to accord him with the utmost respect. The authority and power that he commands has nothing to do with his connections or how long he's been in the military. He earned them through the contributions that he had made to the military and the achievements that he had attained! He blew the entire crowd away during the competition for special troops when he beat the three armies without any help."

"I can't believe that Xur Jun-Lin managed to summon such a powerful reinforcement. Mr Chu's not going to get out of this alive!" lamented Chen Ao.

This was a man who had emerged victorious from intense competition with tens of thousands of soldiers. He must be an impossibly powerful fighter.

His title as the Military God would have cowed numerous people and sent them running with their tails between their legs.

This wasn't someone whom Ye Fan could take down so easily.

"The Military God? Dear heavens, is that the opponent whom we're going to face?" Li Er and the others froze in terror. They had thought that Ye Fan's newly revealed identity as General Green Dragon

would have secured them safety and victory.

They had not expected such a turn of events and that the Xur family would have such a trump card hidden up their sleeve. What a terrifying opponent!
