A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1571

"Ice God?"

"Dragon Master?"

"Has Ice Emperor joined the Chu Sect like the rest of them?"

Tang Hao and the rest stood rooted to the spot with waves of disbelief crashing over them.

Fate has made fools out of us! He was our comrade in arms! What the hell happened that made him betray China to join the Chu Sect? Cruel irony!

Before that discovery, it had never occurred to Sword Saint and the rest that the reach of the Chu Sect was that far and wide to be able to infiltrate the highest orders in China's martial arts scene. They remained adamant in the belief that the Supremes had been sent by Tang Yun to fight them.

The only person in the world powerful enough to mobilize this number of Supremes for their bidding must be the leader of the Chu Sect, Tang Yun. Just like before.

However, they almost forgot that there was another who was capable of such a feat.

Ye Fan, master of the Dragon Slayers!

Of course, the fact remained a secret to those within Dragon God Hall.

Ye Fan's true powers would undoubtedly shake the world when revealed!

The cold wind blew even more fiercely as the silhouettes stood at attention under the night sky, having a ceasefire from the startling revelation of Su Muqiu's allegiance.

With the addition of Water God, the number of Supremes on Gaius' side had risen to four. That's not even including Junie and her healing capabilities. The tables have been completely turned!

Faced with greater odds than before, Sword Saint and his company were beginning to contemplate a retreat strategy as opposed to an offensive one.

"D*mn it, how did things get so far out of hand? Ice Emperor betrayed us all!" King of Fighters gritted his teeth in consternation as he stood bearing the scars of his recent altercation.

His delight at having his old friend appear had vanished completely at Ice Emperor proclaiming his loyalty to Ye Fan.

Even the usually stoic Sword Saint and Tang Hao found it difficult to contain their emotions.

"That's not good," Sword Saint muttered nervously. Whatever conviction that was present in his voice was swept away by a sharp gust of bitter wind.

The Five Dragon Slayers stood before them like a range of impassable mountains. The crushing presence they exuded caused Sword Saint and the rest to shudder.

It was the first time in many years China was plunged into such a deep state of danger since the upheaval at Chu Sect.

The battle that was to come was most likely to cause the downfall of three of the pillars of China.

At that thought, Mo Gucheng's face turned pale.

Out of all the Supremes here, I am in the worst shape! I shouldn't have walked into this fight full of swagger.

While King of Fighters was busy feeling despair, Ye

Fan was already far away from the scene of battle. With Tang Yun in his arms, he was making his way eastward of Jingzhou.

Along the way, Ye Fan had ascertained Tang Yun's condition and did not expect that Tang Yun would be as seriously injured as she was.

She's even more injured than that time on the forbidden grounds within the Chu residence. Back then, Tang Yun had only been consumed by her training and had her veins damaged and left unable to train further. This time, however, her injuries appear to be life-threatening.

"How did you let yourself get defeated to this point?" Ye Fan muttered incredulously. "You are the leader of the Chu Sect!"

She doesn't look like she's going to make it, I'm afraid. Her elemental force is draining alongside her life force.

"Say something! Don't fall asleep. You wouldn't be able to wake up."

After leaving the battlefield behind, Tang Yun's tenseness seemed to have relaxed.

The fatigue deep in her bones washed over her, making it almost impossible to remain conscious.

Having faced such a large battle so soon after delivering a child, Tang Yun had managed to cling on to life through sheer force of will.

If it were any other woman in her shoes, they would have perished from the pain long ago.

Being a crude man, Ye Fan clearly did not understand the type of strain birthing a child would bring to a woman's body.

Instead, he had thought that the injuries suffered by Tang Yun were merely caused by King of Fighters.

"Yun? Don't you frighten me. Keep your eyes open and talk to me."

Despite Ye Fan's pleas and his efforts to transfer some of his own elemental force into her body, Tang Yun remained unresponsive.

The true cause of Tang Yun's fading strength was the loss of her life force. Even if Ye Fan had given her all of his own elemental force, it would not be able to compensate for the loss of her life force. Throughout the journey, Tang Yun lolled lifelessly in

Ye Fan's arms as she drifted in and out of consciousness.

At last, Tang Yun could not even keep her eyes open. She was merely staring vacantly out of the slits between her eyelids.

Just when her world was about to be plunged into darkness, she felt a warm sensation around her lips.

Tang Yun tensed up in shock and jolted awake as if she had been electrocuted. Wrenching her eyes open, she saw a young and handsome face pressed against her own as their lips were locked together. They were so close in proximity together that Tang Yun was able to count Ye Fan's eyelashes.

In an instant, Tang Yun's cheeks flushed crimson as her heart began thumping wildly. Even her breathing had become ragged.

However, it wasn't the first time they had been that intimate. They had gone from something more than a kiss at the Chu residence and even in the cave on the remote island.

The only difference between those times and now is that that we are both in our own minds.

So much so that Tang Yun's anxiety and shame intensified at the very thought.

After the initial shock had worn off, Tang Yun began to struggle. Being rendered unable to speak, she sounded her muffled protests against his lips.

Ye Fan pulled himself away at once. "If you close your eyes despite me telling you not to," he threatened with a roguish grin, "I'm going to kiss you again."

"You..." Tang Yun was beside herself with indignant rage.

How is such an extent of shamelessness possible?

Ye Fan did not seem abashed at all. On the contrary, he laughed even harder.

Emboldened by the stability of her condition, he hastened his steps in order to bring Tang Yun as far from danger as he could.

Rather than returning to his manor in Jingzhou, Ye Fan set his sights on Fenghai.

Only great-grandma is able to cure a wound as serious as this. Besides, it's been a while since I last paid her a visit.

"Halt!" A rough voice suddenly shouted. "Who goes there? This is forbidden territory! How did you enter?"

Before he had gotten very far, Ye Fan found himself surrounded by the soldiers in charge of sealing off the area.

At the sound of the first warning, a swarm of soldiers marched swiftly toward him and had him heavily surrounded.

Within several seconds, Ye Fan found himself staring down the barrels of rifles pointed at him.

The soldiers were so tense that even the slightest movement by their prisoner would trigger their firearms.

Despite being heavily outnumbered, Ye Fan merely gazed at them once before continuing on his way.

"Hey, stop moving! Stick them up! If you don't identify yourself, we are going to start opening fire!"

For some reason, the soldiers felt an inexplicable sense of fear in Ye Fan's presence.

Though we have outnumbered and outgunned him, it feels like this young man is noteven human like the rest of us. He looks at us like we are mere mortals who don't deserve his attention. Though they outnumbered Ye Fan, the soldiers could not help but feel intimidated by his godly presence.
