A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1642

Left without a choice, Chu Qitian could only beg.

Whoosh!

Amidst Chu Qitian's words, a gale began to howl through the land.

The next moment, a figure flashed past just like a phantom.

A loud boom was heard the very next instant.

Falling from the sky, the figure dropped right in front of Nuo and Angie to block their escape.

"Sixth Elder, you have finally appeared. Quick, kill that old fogey!"

When Chu Qitian saw the figure's appearance from afar, he heaved a sigh of relief.

If his bride was kidnapped on the wedding day, both he and the entire Chu family would be utterly humiliated.

Even though Chu Qitian was yelling behind him, Nuo stopped in his tracks with a grim expression.

His eyes gave the elderly figure in front of him a deathly stare.

Dressed in a black robe, the figure was wearing a blazing sun with clouds tattoo on his arm and emanated a raging aura unabashedly.

"This is the power of a Grandmaster at its peak!"

When he felt the overwhelming pressure from his opponent, a sullen expression descended upon Nuo's face.

Other than the tens of Terminal Level warriors, he had not expected to see an elder of Chu Sect among the entourage escorting the wedding convoy.

Thus, it was a scenario that he had not forseen.

"Hand over Ms. Jones, and I won't tear you apart!" A cold voice suddenly rang out.

The murderous intent the Grandmaster emitted had significantly increased the tension in the air.

"Mr. Nuo, let's just surrender. I will accept my fate and don't want to leave anymore. Mr. Nuo, you should leave me and just go," Angie choked when she realized how powerful their enemy was. Her pleas were so pitiful that they could shatter anyone's heart.

With the emergence of Chu Sect elder, it dawned upon Angie that there was no hope of escaping.

Feeling mentally exhausted, she was ready to give up.

She lost the will to struggle and didn't want to burden anyone else.

Perhaps, this is my fate.

In spite of Angie's words, Nuo had no intention of giving up.

With a burning gaze, the look in his eyes began to steady.

"Angie, I will not break my promise of helping you escape."

Hue's grim tone carried with it an unbreakable resolve that put Angie into a panic.

"Mr. Nuo, what are you planning to do? Don't do anything reckless. Mr. Nuo, please don't do this. I beg of you..."

Despite Angie's screams, the energy Nuo released from his body kept growing stronger.

Upon its culmination, it was so powerful that it blew apart Nuo's clothes.

Blood was bursting out of his veins and dripping all over his body.

From afar, Nuo looked like a man drenched in blood.

"Is that... the Blood Burst Technique? The old fogey has gone mad! He is a lunatic! A real lunatic!"

Chu Qitian was shocked by what he saw.

In fact, the elder of Chu Sect was equally taken aback.

The Blood Burst Technique allows one to burn one's blood in return for explosive power.

It was analogous to burning through a day's supply of firewood within just a few minutes.

Although it gives its user tremendous power, it puts significant strain on the body's nerves which will result in death once the nerves are destroyed.

Due to its cruelty, the secret technique was forbidden within the martial arts world.

Therefore, Chu Qitian didn't expect to see it being executed here.

"Sixth Elder, quick, break his momentum so that he can't unleash his power!" Chu Qitian bellowed.

The Sixth Elder naturally didn't miss it. He had already launched a palm strike before Chu Qitian finished his sentence.

Instead of avoiding it, Nuo met the attack head on with his bloodshot eyes.

Boom!

The moment their palms smashed into each other, Sixth Elder was pushed back by the force.

"What? Sixth Elder is being beaten back?"

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Chu Qitian yelled, "Chu Family Protectors, prepare yourselves! Follow me to reinforce Sixth Elder and kill that b*stard!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At Chu Qitian's command, the Chu Family Protectors sprung into action.

The Chu family's personal guards were split between two teams. One was the Chu Family Protectors while the other was the Chu Family Guards.

The Chu Family Guards numbered in the hundreds and were at least Innate Level warriors.

As for the Chu Family Protectors, there were only thirty-six men who were handpicked from the finest warriors. All of them were at the pinnacle of Terminal Level and were soon to be Grandmasters. Officially, the wedding convoy was being escorted by the Chu Family Guards.

But the ones who truly had the power to protect the convoy were the twelve Chu Family Protectors that traveled along.

The combined strength of the twelve Chu Family Protectors, Sixth Elder, and Chu Qitian was enough to give a Supreme Grandmaster a run for his money.

In the blink of an eye, the twelve Chu Family Protectors had Nuo surrounded.

Nevertheless, Nuo was unfazed by the turn of events and charged at his enemies with a roar.

Unleashing a relentless barrage of strikes, the blood-covered Nuo looked like a demon on a rampage, destroying everyone in his path.

Even the twelve Chu Family Protectors failed to subdue him.

After clashing a few rounds, all of them were defeated.

Furthermore, Chu Qitian suffered a palm strike by Nuo that resulted in him throwing up blood.

Just when Nuo managed to break through the encirclement, he felt a sudden jolt in his body. Subsequently, he puked a mouthful of blood as the power he emitted began to diminish.

In the meantime, Chu Qitian was delighted by what he saw. "Drag the fight out as the old fogey can't last much longer!"

He decided to switch tactics from a direct confrontation to a battle of attrition.

Pfft!

At that moment, Nuo threw up another pool of blood as his breathing gradually weakened.

When Angie saw his deteriorating condition, she helped Nuo wipe the blood off his body while her tears flowed endlessly.

"Mr. Nuo... Boohoo... Stop fighting. Let's go home," Angie cried as if her heart was being torn apart.

Despite being drenched in blood, a satisfied smile broke out on Nuo's haggard face when he lowered his gaze at Angie.

"Angie, stop crying. My days are numbered anyway. I will die without regrets if I'm able to exchange my life for your freedom today." Upon every single word Nuo uttered, blood oozed out the corners of his mouth.

"Stop talking, Mr. Nuo. Stop talking..."

Angie's face was covered in tears.

Nevertheless, Nuo replied with a smite, "Angie, I'm sorry that I won't be by your side going forward. Therefore, my wish is for you to keep on living!"

Letting out a final roar, Nuo concentrated all his power within his palm.

The next moment, Chu Qitian and the rest watched as Nuo hurled Angie into the air with all his might.

She was thrown which such force that she looked like a comet traversing across the sky.

Shocked by the turn of events, Chu Qitian exploded. "No! That's b*stard... Pursue her, quickly!"

"But Mr. Chu, what about him-"

"Ignore him. The old fogey has reached his limit and will undoubtedly die. Our priority now is to get my bride back!" Chu Qitian thundered.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Just as he spoke, his subordinates dashed madly in the direction of where Angie was thrown.

After they were gone, Nuo was left alone, standing still in a forlorn manner.

Looking far ahead, his hazy gaze seemed to pierce time and space.
