A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1191 Utter Despair
"Quick! Let's not waste any more time and hurry up!" Ye Yu-Yan's anxious voice sounded in their ears.
Li Zi-Yang and the others nodded.
They held their breaths, stomped their feet heavily on the ground and with a hard thrust, leapt into the air.
They were like birds soaring in the dark night as they leaped over towering walls and made their way out of the Jiangdong military camp.
"We're finally out! We're free!" Li Zi-Yang and the others appeared visibly moved as they stepped foot on the soil outside of the military camp. They were in the land of the free now.
They had never realized how precious freedom truly was.
"That's right, we're finally out of that hell hole." Ye Yu-Yan turned, glanced at the tall walls of the military camp, and burst out into a laugh. "We're not out of danger yet. We have to get as far as we can from this place before they realize that we're gone!"
After a moment of respite, Ye Yu-Yan and her teammates got ready to be on their way and leave this place.
"Leave? Do you really think you can get out of here?" A mirthless laugh rang out and reverberated in the night.
Bright lights erupted from within the military camp.
The blinding lights spilled across the night sky and, like numerous suns rising into the sky, colored the night as bright as day!
It was then that Ye Yu-Yan and her teammates realized that what they had thought had been utter darkness had been in fact dark masses of soldiers gathered together.
Thousands of soldiers had had them surrounded all along.
They were akin to floodwaters that had swept away all roads to escape, leaving the Green Dragon Force with nowhere to
run.
Standing at their helm was the newly appointed chief military instructor of the Jiangdong military camp, Chen Lan.
"It's you!"
The Green Dragon Force was startled when they saw the man. Their pupils contracted with wariness.
"This is impossible. How did you know we were leaving?"
Despair threatened to swallow them whole as they surveyed the masses of soldiers surrounding them.
They knew then that their plan had failed.
If their only opponent were Chen Lan and Chen Lan alone, a few of them might stand the chance of escaping. But they were now trapped by a full battalion.
The Green Dragon Force had no chances of escape at all.
They felt rage and helplessness drowning them from the inside.
They had made it out of the campsite itself.
They had been one step away from making a successful escape.
Why had the gods thwarted their success at the very last moment?
Waves of despair, rage and helplessness swelled inside them and threatened to pull them under like a tsunami.
Eyes reddening with anger, Li Zi-Yang began to growl at Chen Lan.
Chen Lan merely smiled at them smugly.
"You're just a bunch of trash. Do you really think you can fool me? You really think you can slip through my fingers? I knew exactly what you were up to and had planned for it right from the start. My men were watching your every move and have hacked your phones to monitor your communications. I knew every single thing that you were up to. There was no way you could have escaped at all. You're all brats who are too young and inexperienced to know who you're dealing with," laughed Chen Lan as he openly mocked the Green Dragon Force.
"How dare you! You're despicable! How could you spy on us like that? You're an absolute scoundrel! Chen Lan, you'll going to suffer a horrible death!"
Li Zi-Yang and his teammates were furious when they heard Chen Lan's words.
Their eyes reddened with fury. If looks could kill, Chen Lan would have died a thousand deaths.
Chen Lan merely smiled.
"You seem really concerned about my death. I think you should be worried about your own fates instead. You left the military camp without permission and attempted to escape from the camp. You disobeyed your superiors, defied orders, attacked your instructor, broke the rules of the military and caused harm to your comrades. You should have been shot on sight," said Chen Lan coolly as he kept his hands folded behind his back. His words were as cold as the passing wintry wind in the night.
Alarm flashed across Ye Yu-Yan's face instantly.
Gao Da-Zhuang, Li Zi-Yang and the others were furious.
Anger twisted their features as they began to curse out loud.
"That's utter rubbish! Chen Lan, you're a fucking liar! When did we disobey orders? When did we attack you? When did we hurt our comrades? Those are utter lies! All of them!"
They had been accused of something that they had not done and that naturally infuriated the Green Dragon Force.
No one would stand by and allow their good names to be tarnished that way.
Chen Lan simply smiled. "Well, I said you have, and so you did."
"You! How dare you! We want to speak to the commander-in-chief. We'll make sure that Commander Wu sees you as the liar you are!"
The Green Dragon Force was livid when they heard what Chen Lan had said.
In the midst of their anger, they threatened to expose his lies to Wu Yang.
"You want to speak to the commander-in-chief? You have to be alive to do that. Do you really think I'm going to let you live to see him?" said Chen Lan before bursting into a loud brazen laughter that filled the air.
"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!" snarled Li Zi-Yang as he lost control of his temper and a burning and uncontrollable rage erupted within him.
Eyes red with fury, he charged at Chen Lan like a crazed man and swung his fist at the latter.
But Li Zi-Yang was a soldier who had but a few months of training in martial arts while Chen Lan had trained in martial arts for his whole life. Li Zi-Yang wasn't a match for Chen Lan at all.
In the darkness of the night, they watched as Chen Lan lifted his hand and caught Li Zi-Yang's arm effortlessly. Then, just as easily, he bent Li Zi-Yang arm.
A sharp cry pierced the air as Li Zi-Yang's arm snapped into two.
Chen Lan's palm shot out and hit Li Zi-Yang squarely in the chest.
The sound of ribs breaking could be heard as Li Zi-Yang spat out a mouthful of blood and flew into the distance.
"Yang! You bastard, I'm going to kill you!"
This ruthless attack on their comrade appeared to be the final straw.
The Green Dragon Force knew that they were no match for Chen Lan.
Nevertheless, they weren't going to back down. The remaining members of the Green Dragon Force leapt into the air and lunged at Chen Lan.
"You have no idea who you're dealing with. You're just going to get yourself killed," scoffed Chen Lan as the members of the Green Dragon Force made their charge at him.
He unleashed a furry of attacks, every fist and every palm aiming to maim and decapacitate.
One blow snapped a few of Ma Ming-Bo's ribs.
Blood splattered everywhere as organs were crushed and bones broken.
Chen Lan unleashed a flurry of kicks and punches, every blow delivering devastating damage to his enemies.
Within a span of seconds, the members of the Green Dragon Force had fallen to the ground. Blood flowed freely from their mouths as they lay on the ground, severely injured and on the verge of death.
