A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1739

Chu Zhengliang felt a deadly presence drawing closer behind him. His neck stiffened when he felt a wave of murderous air engulfing him.

In despair, he looked at Tang Yun, hoping she would do something to stop Ye Fan.

She was the only person who could do that.

As he expected, Tang Yun appeared at the most critical time. She came right in front of Chu Zhengliang, and with just one strike, she forced Ye Fan back, stopping him from killing Chu Zhengliang. "Chu Tianfan! Don't say I didn't warn you! I won't show you mercy if you keep testing my patience!"

Tang Yun was inflamed by Ye Fan's constant disregard of her warnings.

At first, she tolerated Ye Fan because she knew she was partially responsible for what happened.

That was why she was willing to overlook his slaughtering of people in the Chu Sect. If he were to stop when she asked him to, she would call it even, but when he kept provoking her and trying her bottom line, she could not bear it any longer.

Instead of just waiting for three more days, he was adamant about taking matters into his own hands by killing everyone.

Tang Yun would not have cared less if he had carried this fight elsewhere.

Although she felt as vexed as Ye Fan that someone would do something so appalling to Angie, Tang Yun still could not let him take Chu Zhengliang's life.

Not only was he the head of the Chu family, but he was also the vice head of the Chu Sect. He was ultimately a leader of the sect.

If she allowed Ye Fan to eliminate Chu Zhengliang, there would be serious consequences.

This would be a huge blow for the Chu Sect.

As the head of the sect, Tang Yun would need to explain his death not only to the whole sect but also to her master, so she had no choice but to wait till the investigation was complete before she hands Chu Zhengliang to Ye Fan.

"Mercy? Do you even know what that is, Tang Yun?

Have you ever shown mercy to anyone?" Ye Fan said with a hint of ridicule in his voice.

Tang Yun's heart churned.

For a brief moment, Tang Yun felt hurt.

So to you, I've always been a cold and cruel person?

Ye Fan took advantage of the split-second Tang Yun was distracted. Since Tang Yun was defending Chu Zhengliang, Ye Fan swung his sword around swiftly and targeted the others instead.

Chu Zhengliang went hysterical when he saw Ye Fan going berserk, slaughtering everyone along his path. Chu Zhengliang clungto Tang Yun and begged her. "Ms. Tang, please do something! You need to kill him now!"

Tang Yun quickly collected herself and went after Ye Fan.

Although she had acted promptly, it was still too late to stop Ye Fan from causing more fatalities.

Many fell under his sword, and at this rate, there was no stopping the ruthless man.

His attack was fatal and merciless.

As the calamity dragged out, more lives were sacrificed, and family members and people from the sect cried seeing their loved ones and their comrades die one after another.

Some were begging him to stop, while others cursed him as the killing continued.

Those from the Chu family were especially affected by the raw sight.

When they saw other family members falling to the ground lifeless, they wailed and swore to kill Ye Fan. As for Tang Yun, she was still fighting to stop Ye Fan, but her tactics were more defensive than they were aggressive. She was not trying to kill him.

Instead, she kept persuading him to retreat.

"What is Ms. Tang doing? Why didn't she just kill him? Don't tell me she's trying to spare him."

Chu Zhengliang realized something was wrong as he watched their fight unfold.

From his experience, Tang Yun would have extinguished the offender if they were to do

something tantamount to what Ye Fan did. Tang Yun would not even waste her time talking, yet that was not what she was doing.

She was known for her courage and decisiveness, but when she faced Ye Fan, she became reluctant.

"I have to force her to something."

Chu Zhengliang, who had been hiding behind her, concocted a plan in his heart.

He knew that even if he could save himself by hiding under Tang Yun's protection, more people from the Chu family would die if this went on, so he had to act quickly to put an end to all the killing. He hesitated for a while, but he still made up his mind to risk it. He ran forward and knelt down before Tang Yun in front of everyone in the Chu Sect.

"Ms. Tang! This man has incurred a huge loss to our sect. He has caused massive bloodshed on Mount Chumen, and many of our sect members were sacrificed because of his brutality. I would have ended him myself if I had the ability to, but Ms. Tang, you're totally capable of doing that. Please, I beseech you, kill this man to avenge the souls that were lost today before our whole sect and family are destroyed by this man."

Chu Zhengliangteared up as he implored Tang Yun to muster her courage to do the right thing.

Everyone on Mount Chumen was moved by his sincerity.

His words resonated with the people and managed to unite them together.

Those who were already fleeing heard him and stopped.

Some of them returned and went on their knees before Tang Yun beside Chu Zhengliang.

"Ms. Tang! Please! Kill this man," they supplicated.

"Yes, Ms. Tang. You need to defend the Chu Sect!"

They repeated their earnest requests, pressuring Tang Yun to act in accordance with their will.

Some of them who were stilt recovering from the loss of their loved ones sobbed and begged her to do something.

More people joined the group as their entreats

intensified.

Tang Yun beheld the growing crowd and was moved.

She agonized over the difficult choice she was pushed to make.

On one hand, she had to protect the people as the head of the sect; on the other hand, she wanted to protect the man she loved.

Ye Fan was her child's father, and the people kneeling before her were like her own family.

She wavered between the two choices of her personal feelings and the greater good.

As the head of the sect, she had no issue punishing a wrongdoer, but this was no other person but Ye Fan.

After a brief moment, she took a deep breath and resumed her usual self.

Her eyes grew cold and she fixated her gaze on Ye Fan.

"Take another step and I'll take your life," she pronounced.

Her words were bitter and unsympathetic.

Ye Fan answered with actions. He stepped forward as his grip tightened around the sword in his hand.

The leader of the Dragon Slayers was finally facing the head of the Chu Sect in a head-to-head confrontation.

Two Sky Ranking fighters were finally battling each other.

Their combat began almost immediately.

They met each other's cold and pitiless gaze as they got ready to put their lives on the line, yet no one seemed to notice the hint of sorrow in Ye Fan's eyes. So at the end of the day, you still chose your responsibility to the sect over me.I guess we are meant to face each other in such a cruel way.

No one would have expected that a once loving couple like Ye Fan and Tang Yun would turn out to be enemies in the present.

They ended up where they were not because they made wrong decisions, but rather, it was just because they had different convictions.

For ten years, Ye Fan waited for her. It was time he gave himself closure, be it because of Angie, or be it for the pain she put him through over the years. This time, he would not compromise.

As for Tang Yun, since she had chosen her own path, she would have to put the well-being of the Chu Sect above everything else.
