A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1552
Ye Fan couldn't understand the derision and resentment in Tang Yun's tone. That wasn't the tone the sect leader of Chu Sect should be taking. In fact, she sounded like a wife who had suffered the bullying of her husband.
Ye Fan couldn't understand why the sect leader of a powerful sect and the most powerful person on the Sky Ranking would massacre hapless, innocent men and women. A hundred thousand men and women had turned to dust. It was an act that left Ye Fan feeling cold.
"Is that so? You won't let me off? Mr Chu certainly lives up to his name of being the lord of Jiangdong! The almighty Mr Chu indeed! Pray tell, what do you intend to do to me?" Mockery twisted Tang Yun's lips as a hard glint flashed across her eyes. She stared straight into the eyes of the young man before her. "So, you want an explanation. You shall have it then. I didn't kill them for any reason. I was simply in a fou mood. How's that explanation for you? Does it please you?"
Tang Yun stood proudly in the mansion.
The look on her face was colored with resentment and fury. In fact, she sounded like she was sulking.
"Tang Yun, don't push me too far!" Ye Fan spat his words out as he tightened his fists.
"You think I'm pushing you?" Tang Yun laughed softly. "Am I pushing you too far? Alright then. Maybe you should know that I'm not going to stop at leveling this town. I'm going to kill everyone in Jingzhou and everyone in Jiangdong. I'm going to destroy the Ye family home and kill your family. I want you, you heartless beast, to have no home and no one to return home to!"
A sudden harsh wintry wind rose like the waves of a stormy ocean all around them, sending dust, dirt and stone flying in the mansion and shattering the tiles on the roof.
Ye Fan took a step forward and roared loudly, his words booming like thunder. "How dare you, Tang Yun! Jiangdong is my turf and Jingzhou my home. My family lives here. I'll crush you if you hurt them!"
Ye Fan's eyes were cold and hard and his voice filled with thunderous fury.
A murderous rage enveloped him.
He tightened his fists and snarled, "Tang Yun, don't make me kill you!"
The threat sent the land shaking and the temperature plummeting. Every stone, leaf and branch in the mansion froze.
Ye Fan's fury was palpable.
Everyone had something or someone that they would risk everything to protect.
To Ye Fan, his family was that someone.
Tang Yun had done the unforgivable and threatened the ones dearest to his heart. How could he not be enraged?
"Haha! That's exactly whom I want to kill and what I want to destroy! I will kill your family and destroy your home. Why should I show a heartless beast any mercy?" Tang Yun continued to taunt Ye Fan and showed no signs of backing down despite the threat of violence in Ye Fan's words.
"You're asking for it!"
Ye Fan's fury finally erupted in a deafening explosion.
Waves of power surged from Ye Fan and flooded the mansion like a tsunami.
The land cracked while trees and grass alike were torn from their roots and sent flying.
The frenzied winds swept across the mansion like waves of a turbulent sea.
The power of a supreme grandmaster was in full display.
Yet, the young woman before Ye Fan simply stood quietly amidst his display of immense power.
There was no hint of emotion in her dark eyes or on her lovely face.
She simply stood there, her eyes staring straight at Ye Fan.
No one seemed to notice her eyes gradually turning teary.
"He's finally decided to strike me down," thought the young woman to herself as her lips trembled.
The power swirling around Ye Fan was the exact measure of the depth of her despondency.
No one could have imagined a look of such despair to ever grace the face of the awe-inspiring sect leader of the Chu Sect who stood at the pinnacle of power. Ye Fan had begun his attack.
The immense energy swirling on his palms transformed into hundreds of thousands of invisible blades.
It was as if he held hundreds of thousands of swords in his two hands.
Every one of those blades had the power to pierce through anything in this world and under Ye Fan's command, these blades flew towards Tang Yun without hesitation. The heavens quaked.
Every attack that Ye Fan unleashed was a fatal one.
His blades filled the heavens like a net. Even the most powerful fighter on the Sky Ranking had nowhere to run.
Tang Yun's purple dress fluttered in the wind as she stood silently in the mansion.
She did not move and showed no signs of dodging Ye Fan's attack as it fell upon her.
She simply watched as the blades approached her, growing bigger as they filled her vision.
The demonic wailing of those blades pierced the air and filled her ears.
She gave the murderous-looking young man one last lingering look and lost all hope.
She had lost all hope in the man.
She did not hide and she showed no fear.
She did not scream in fury.
She was as still as the waters in a well.
Her eyes fluttered shut as she waited for the blades to arrive and for the end awaiting her.
It was all coming to an end.
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she felt the force of Ye Fan's attack land.
Her life ended here.
She couldn't stop the regret overwhelming her.
She wasn't going to see her child grow up.
Yet, just as she braced herself for the pain that was going to envelop her, the wave that had struck her swept past and left in its wake only silence.
Save its initial wave of forceful wind, the attack that Ye Fan had unleashed upon her hadn't done any harm to Tang Yun.
"You...you..."
Tang Yun opened her eyes and stared at the young man before her with shock.
She had not expected Ye Fan to stay his hand.
A long silence fell over them.
Two powerful supreme grandmasters stood in the small mansion.
They had not stood so closely and looked at each other from such a distance since they had parted.
They were so close that they could feel the other's breathing and see the other's lashes flutter lightly in the wind.
They were so close that Ye Fan could hit Tang Yun easily.
But he hadn't been able to.
This was no longer the young woman whom he had spent his days together in the old Chu family home and whom he had trained together on the same bed. She had stopped being that young woman after the fight in the rainforest.
But he couldn't stop the flood of memories filling his head whenever he saw Tang Yun.
He couldn't forget the kindness that Yu Yun had shown him, nor her display of protectiveness on the island in the middle of the lake.
Ye Fan was a man who valued his friends and family dearly.
He couldn't so easily abandon the friendships that he had forged with those whom he had carved a place in his heart for.
"This is the last time. We shall see each other next at the Chu Sect. I won't go easy on you if you try to stop me. "His words were cold and heartless. He turned and headed to the door. "The God of War and the others are in the vicinity. I doubt you can stop them. If you want to stick around and protect your sect, you should leave this place as soon as possible. Leave Jiangdong and leave China."
He kept his back towards Tang Yun the whole time he was talking. Then, after a pause. "Tang Yun, if it were truly possible, I hope to never see you again while I'm still alive."
