A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1223 Rescue

There was nothing but silence for miles.

Only one young man stood proudly in front of all the soldiers.

His deep eyes seemed to reflect the stars in the sky.

His arrogance looked down on his empire like a king.

All the soldiers within the Jiangbei military camp had hearts full of terror as well as a willingness to submit to this man's authority.

Ye Fan's prowess had certainly petrified them all. The deep channel in the earth before him as well as all the bloodied corpses lying around him made one shudder even though the weather wasn't chilly. Lin Qing-He was so frightened that he felt like his soul had left him. He took one small step backwards at a time with a pale face, as if he was going to make a run for it while Ye Fan wasn't looking. But it was impossible for him to get away.

Ye Fan's eye was on him the minute Lin Qing-He moved the slightest bit.

"Commander Lin, where are you going?" a faint chuckle came towards Lin Qing-He.

Ye Fan spoke very calmly, but Lin Qing-He could hear the malice in it.

He froze on the spot and stared back in horror at Ye Fan as his body started trembling uncontrollably. "What...what do you want with me?"

Ye Fan ignored Lin Qing-He's terrified question. He started walking towards Lin Qing-He. Every step he took seemed to echo loudly in everyone's hearts.

Lin Qing-He watched Ye Fan draw closer and closer to him. He felt like the grim reaper was coming for him!

He finally had a mental breakdown from being too afraid to die.

He looked miserably at Ye Fan as he pleaded in a bitter voice, "Instructor Chu, please...please spare me!"

"Kneel down when you talk!!"

Ye Fan's sudden shout hit Lin Qing-He like a storm on the Pacific Ocean.

Lin Qing-He felt as though a mountain had fallen on his shoulders, and the weighty authoritativeness of Ye Fan made his knees buckle.

The deputy commander of the military camp who was once unmatched in power had no choice but to kneel down.

Ye Fan stood in front of him with an icy smile on his face as he looked down at Lin Qing-He. "Lin Qing-He, you never thought the day would come when you have to kneel at my feet, did you? Back when I became an instructor in Jiangdong, you were unhappy about it, so you colluded with others to attack me and force me out of Jiangdong's military camp."

"If that was all you did, I wouldn't have cared. Being a chief military instructor is a title that I can do without, anyway. If you didn't like me around, I didn't mind leaving. It's just being a chief military instructor after all. I could let you have it."

"But instead of stopping there, you actually let that Chen Lan abuse the Green Dragon Force. And now, you've ganged up with others to throw the Green Dragon Force out of the competition, and you even declared that you wanted all of us dead! I can only say that you deserve what you're getting today." Ye Fan had no expression on his face, but his words were sinister and furious.

Lin Qing-He was already frightened to pieces from Ye Fan's fury and his face was already covered with tears and snot, but he continued to plead with Ye Fan for his life, "Instructor Chu, I...I was wrong! I was terribly wrong! It is all my fault! I was the one who was blind! I was the one who was tired of living and offended you! I deserve to die! I do!"

"But Instructor Chu, since we were once colleagues, could you spare my life? Please? Instructor Chu, I'm begging you, please, just spare my life! As long as you don't kill me, I'll do anything for you!" Lin Qing-He used to think that he could face death bravely.

But when he was actually faced with the possibility of dying, Lin Qing-He realized that he had been wrong all the while.

The desire to live and the fear of dying was torturing him so badly that he was on the verge of going mad. He didn't even care about his status or reputation anymore. He just didn't want to die.

"Spare you?" Ye Fan immediately burst out laughing. His bright laughter sounded mocking and sarcastic, as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

"You've made life so hard for the Green Dragon Force time and again, and you got others to surround and kill me. Do you still think there's any chance for you to be spared?" Ye Fan shook his head and laughed.

Suddenly, his eyes turned cold. Everyone watched as Ye Fan stretched his palm out and slashed it through the air like his fingers were claws.

SWOOSH! A knife-like energy shot out from Ye Fan's fingers.

There was a sputtering sound as Lin Qing-He's throat was slit on the spot.

Bright red blood gushed out from his throat.

Lin Qing-He stared in horror at Ye Fan. His lips trembled and looked like he was trying to say something, but nothing but blood came out when he opened his mouth.

Everyone watched on in shock and trepidation as one of the most powerful men in the Jiangdong military, Lin Qing-He, died right before their eyes.

Lin Qing-He's heart was filled with regret as he died.

If he had known this would be how everything ended, he wouldn't have dared to provoke or offend Ye Fan at all.

He was now going to die, he had caused the death of his own son, and he had also implicated so many people in between.

All was silent except for the cool breeze that blew through the military compound.

Nobody in the enormous Jiangbei military camp dared to speak at all when they looked at the pile of dead bodies in front of them.

Nobody dared to accuse Ye Fan of any wrongdoing either.

Ye Fan was a truly vicious man. His aggressive ways had already frightened everyone deep inside.

They were so fearful that they couldn't even think of anything else.

After killing off Lin Qing-He, Ye Fan left with the Green Dragon Force.

But before leaving, Ye Fan told Tai Shan to carry Lin Qing-He's body along, and also got the rest of the team to pick up a handful of dirt where the members of Eagles Force lay.

The six of them walked off the same way they came.

They left nothing but their frightening and authoritative aura lingering among the crowd behind them.

Even after they had walked out of sight, nobody said anything. It was as if the wind was blowing through a desert and there was no sign of life in the field.

After a long time, someone finally called out, "Hurry..,hurry...rescue them! Save the instructors!"

The sudden shout was like the crow of the rooster in the morning and it snapped everyone out of their daze. All the soldiers quickly ran over to look for survivors from the battle earlier.

The four special forces troops were definitely dead, but Lan Xing and Zhu Rong were probably still alive.

The two of them were of very high standing in this military camp, so nobody would give up trying to save them as long as they were still breathing.

Lan Xing was found to be barely breathing, so they quickly sent him to the hospital.

Meanwhile, the rest were still trying to dig for Zhu Rong. Ye Fan's punch had created a huge crater in the ground, and they all concluded that Ye Fan must have punched him beneath the surface of the ground. "Keep digging! Whether he's dead or alive, we need to find his body in order to confirm it! Hurry up and dig! Find Instructor Zhu!" someone shouted frantically.
