A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1683

Chu Yuan had always treated the Demonic Duo as equals, so the other Chus, too, held the two in high regard.

Even Chu Shen, an honorable elder in the family, respected the duo very much.

The dire situation that the family found themselves in only served to increase Chu Shen's deference toward the two.

Naturally, he got upset when Chu Qitian was being disrespectful. Who's going to protect us from Ye Fan if he offended the Demonic Duo?

Even though Chu Shen also wanted the duo to kill Ye Fan, he knew better than to second-guess their decision.

Besides, Chu Shen was also worried that Ye Fan might do something unexpected when cornered, and he would rather not find out what other trump cards the young man had up his sleeves. After all that had happened, the Chus had grown to fear Ye Fan.

Compared to their desire to see the man dead, they would rather that Ye Fan just leave them alone. The sooner Ye Fan gets out of our sight, the better!

However, Ye Fan had no such intention. "Stop fighting? You make that sound so easy, but do you really think I can do that? I'm not leaving this place until I wipe out the Chus!" promised Ye Fan in all seriousness.

After hearing that, the Demonic Duo rubbed their foreheads, feeling troubled. "Is that really necessary? Why do we have to kill each other? I know Patriarch Chu kicked you out of the family back then, but you're part of the Chus nonetheless, and these are your family! Do you really want to spill the blood of your own family members? Can't we just talk things over? I'm sure the elders are more than willing to make things up to you," suggested the two with a straight face.

Suddenly, Ye Fan burst out laughing as if he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. "You think they're going to make things up to me? The Chus care about nothing except their reputation, so what makes you think they'll ever talk things out with me? I used to be as naive as you are right now. I thought a prominent family like the Chus would never break their promises. Do you want to know what I found out in the end? It was all just a big fat joke to them! If I were you, I'd save my breath because you can't change my mind. None of the Chus are trustworthy, so I'll never negotiate with them. If you two insist on defending them, I'll have no choice but to take you down as well."

With that, Ye Fan took up a stance to get ready for his move, Invoke the Celestial Sky. Suddenly, the elemental force from his surrounding started gathering around him.

He was like a dry sponge voraciously sucking in all the energy near him.

Even though the Demonic Duo could tell that Ye Fan was getting ready to go all-out, they remained as calm as the sea. The two had so much battle experience that they were convinced they had seen it all. As much as the duo respected Ye Fan's capabilities, they assumed that the young man got too emotional in the matter.

"Why throw your life away like this, young man? Your struggle is futile because there's nothing you can do to harm us. We don't want to kill any Chus, much less the son of Zhenghong. If you do as we say and walk away, we'll pretend as if nothing had happened," added the Demonic Duo indifferently.

The tone they used to speak with Ye Fan was like that of a father trying to dissuade his son from prodigal habits.

"I appreciate the kindness, but that won't be necessary because the Chus are not looking for forgiveness and I'm way past trying to get them to repent. One of us must perish today. It's either me or them!" shouted Ye Fan so loudly that his voice reverberated throughout the Dragon God Hall.

"You fool! You have no idea what you're getting yourself into!" The Demonic Duo had always had a deadpan expression on their faces, but at that moment, they seemed to be angered by Ye Fan's stubbornness. "But if you insist on ending your life like this, we'll oblige. The Chu family has been around for at least a century, and it will continue to thrive under our watch!"

Whoosh!

The Demonic Duo then took to the sky, and all the others could see were two beams of light, one white and the other black, shooting upward.

The two elderly men moved like Olympic athletes in the air, making it difficult to believe that they had lived out more than half their lifetime.

The power they had gathered was so immense that the ground started to shake.

Like a tornado, the two beams of lights spun around and created an energy storm, for the two men were able to complement each other's energy perfectly like yin and yang.

Anyone who witnessed the sheer force contained in the energy storm could immediately feel chills running down their spines.

"That's... That's the Infernal Duo's ultimate move, the Yin Yang Slash!" With his mouth agape, the Chu Sect's head of elders was utterly mind-blown when he realized what he was looking at.

"With their powers combined, Xuan and Ming are an incredibly formidable force. Some even said that the Yin Yang Slash is the closest move to a Supreme-level Comprehensive Array Attack. It was with this ultimate move that the Infernal Duo beat three Supremes from overseas. Just thinking about it gives me the chills!" explained someone in the crowd who was familiar with the Infernal Duo and the Yin Yang Slash.

"It's over! That young man is totally done for. There's no way he's going to survive that attack!" exclaimed Aaron, the Remdik martial arts leader, as he shook his head, convinced that Ye Fan was a goner. Everyone else at the scene was just as terrified, for they apparently did not expect the Demonic Duo to perform their ultimate move right from the start of the fight.

Usually, people would save theirtrump card until the very end, but what the duo did was the complete opposite.

The unorthodox fighting behavior left everyone utterly dazed.

"Good, good! Now that's what I want to see. That b*stard is going to be hit so hard that he'll instantly be reduced to ashes!" Nobody was more glad than Chu Qitian to see the Demonic Duo give Ye Fan their all. Chu Qitian was worried that the duo might show Ye Fan mercy before, but after seeing the display of power, he realized that his concern was unfounded.

As guardians of the Chu family, the Demonic Duo's priority was to protect the Chus, so naturally,

they had to do everything to stop Ye Fan.

The fact that Ye Fan had angered the two only made things worse for him.

However, while everyone else seemed to tremble before the Demonic Duo's might, Ye Fan smirked. "Xuan, Ming, I want to apologize in advance for what I'm about to do. But I've waited for a long time to challenge the Yin Yang Slash. It's time to find out once and for all if your ultimate move can overpower mine!"

In the face of the Demonic Duo's assault, Ye Fan decided to give it his all as well.

Paired with his Dragon God Body, Ye Fan got ready to unleash his ultimate move, Invoke the Celestial Sky.

The move was already powerful on its own, but when performed with the Yin Yang Dragon God Body, it shot up to a different level.

Ye Fan remembered meeting the Demonic Duo for the first time many years ago. Back then, he was still with Chu Zhenghong, and that man was the one who introduced him to Xuan and Ming.

"These elderly men have protected our family for many years, so they're very well-respected. Their ultimate move, the Yin Yang Slash, has deterred all those who wished to do us harm. If you manage to counter the move one day, our family will pretty much be in the palm of your hand." That was what his father told him, and Ye Fan had never forgotten about it.
