A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1684

Hence, Ye Fan was neither fearful nor nervous when the Demonic Duo performed the move. Instead, he seemed somewhat excited that he got to witness the two men's trump card at such a close range. "After much hardship and effort, it's finally time to see how much stronger I've become!"

When the duo's energy storm finally took shape, it boomed so loud that one could be forgiven for thinking that the sky itself had cracked.

Like a missile locked onto its target, the Demonic Duo rocketed toward Ye Fan.

Still, the young man remained as calm as the sea while activating his Dragon God Body.

Ye Fan then performed Invoke the Celestial Sky to take the duo head-on.

"First form: Cloud Sun Kick!"

Pow!

"Second form: Tumble of the Majestic Mountain!"

Wham!

"Third form: Earthshaking Palm!"

Bam!

In just the blink of an eye, Ye Fan had already performed three forms of his ultimate move to take on the Demonic Duo's Yin Yang Slash.

However, his attacks were completely useless against the duo. Like throwing pebbles into the sea, Ye Fan's efforts did nothing to stop their advancement.

"It's not working. Those two are just too strong for Master. If we don't do anything now, this won't end well." Gaius and the others could tell that Ye Fan was in deep trouble.

At first, they thought that even if his ultimate move could not overpower the Demonic Duo's, he could at least hold the two off, but they quickly realized they were wrong.

In the end, Ye Fan's Invoke the Celestial Sky was as futile as throwing eggs at a rock, for it did not seem to affect the Demonic Duo at all.

"You brought this on yourself, Chu Tianfan! You should've walked away when you had the chance. Instead, you insisted on challenging Xuan and Ming.

Do you think someone as insignificant as you have the capability to match the Demonic Duo? Back then, they were top three on the Sky Ranking! Even though they have aged a little, that doesn't mean that they're any less fearsome. A country boy like you should know your place! You deserve what's coming to you!" Chu Qitian gloated over Ye Fan's predicament before letting out a cackle.

Like Chu Qitian, Chu Shen and the others were also glad to see how outmatched the Demonic Duo was against their adversary.

So much so that a smile appeared on Chu Shen's wrinkled face.

Still, Ye Fan could not care less about what others think of him and his capability.

At that moment, he was wholly focused on the fight at hand.

With the energy of Invoke the Celestial Cloud still roaring inside of him, Ye Fan could feel the power coursing through his veins. Even though his three forms were not enough to stop the Demonic Duo, he remained calm and collected.

He prepared himself to unleash his fourth form.

"Red Flame Finger!"

Boom!

Like lightning, a gigantic finger-shaped flame swiftly slammed into the energy storm that was the Demonic Duo. Finally, Ye Fan had successfully halted the Yin Yang Slash's advancement and stopped the duo in their tracks.

With their powers equally matched, the fight had fallen into a stalemate.

"He did it! My goodness, he really did it! Ye Fan managed to block the Demonic Duo's attack!" Angie was filled with concern for the man before, but when she saw the parties evenly matched, she got so excited that she leaped up.

"No, that's not it," disagreed Gaius.

"What do you mean?" "It's not over yet. Look closely."

Unlike Angie, who could only see what was on the surface, Gaius and the others noticed how the flame had rapidly reduced in size after coming into contact with the Demonic Duo.

As expected, the moment Gaius was done speaking, the duo extinguished Ye Fan's flame.

Even though the fourth form of Invoke the Celestial Sky had successfully defeated Chu Zhengliang, it was no match for the Demonic Duo's Yin Yang Slash.

"That has to be the last card up his sleeves! He's doomed for sure!" shouted Chu Qitian in excitement.

Chu Shen and the others, too, sneered at Ye Fan, hoping that the young man would soon meet his demise.

"Your resistance is futile, Chu Tianfan! It doesn't matter what you can do; you can never hope to match the Demonic Duo's power. As they said, the fight was over before it even started. You should've just walked away," voiced Chu Shen with the cocky smile of a victor.

At that point, Gaius and the other Dragon Slayers had already given up all hope.

"I guess this is the end for the Dragon Master," sighed Iwai Zen to himself, hiding in the crowd.

Just when everyone thought that there was nothing Ye Fan could do to turn the tide, the man seemed to have somehow gathered even more power in him.

"Wait a second. What's going on? Could it be that Chu Tianfan hasn't shown his trump card yet?" Aaron and the others widened their eyes in surprise when they saw that Ye Fan was not yet defeated.

"Sword Saint, Chu Tianfan has served the War God Castle before, so you should know what's going on, right? Has he been keeping his trump card close to the chest this whole time?" Aaron inquired, turning to look at Sword Saint and Tang Hao.

In response, Sword Saint shrugged helplessly. "Don't look at me. I'm just as surprised as you are."

"And here I thought you were the great Hall Master of War God Castle. I guess not even you know what's going on with Chu Tianfan, huh?" Aaron shook his head disappointedly, which only served to put Sword Saint in a fouler mood.

While Aaron and the others were still trying to figure out what was going on, someone in the Chu family

had a sudden realization.

"Could it be? No! That's impossible! There's no way it can be true. Someone as young as him can't possibly be able to master the fifth form. Even Zhengliang only managed to reach the fourth form. I refused to believe that Chu Tianfan has surpassed the man!" Chu Shen shook his head unwittingly, trying to dissuade himself from what he believed to be true.

However, fate has always had a strange sense of humor.

Just when Chu Shen was still muttering to himself, a thunder-like sound resounded through the sky.

"Fifth form of Invoke the Celestial Cloud: Void Slash!" When Ye Fan announced his next move, those at the scene could have sworn that the place had darkened, especially where the man was standing. Suddenly, Ye Fan was completely engulfed in pitch-black darkness, and out of the darkness was a bright ray of light.

Like a sword made of lightning, the light seemed to have sliced through the darkness itself.

When the energy of the Void Slash lit up, it was so bright that somehow, it made the world look as though it had become dimmer.

Not even the sun itself could compare its brightness to that produced by the ultimate move.

Utterly stunned by the display of power, everyone squinted their eyes as they continued to stare into the bright light, hoping to make sense of what was really going on.

The elders of the Chu Sect, as well as the Chu family, forgot to breathe when they witnessed the event.

Even the Demonic Duo, who possessed years of combat experience, were taken aback by the sheer force at Ye Fan's behest.

"Could that be the fifth form?"

Before the duo could get an answer, Ye Fan had already unleashed the Void Slash on them.

Like a knife cutting through paper, Ye Fan's attack decisively sliced through the Demonic Duo's energy storm and separated the two from each other.

With the fifth form, all it took was one hit for Ye Fan to show the world that he had what it took to best the duo's Yin Yang Slash.
