A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1740

"It seems like you've chosen your own death, Chu Tianfan. Since that is what you wanted, I'll grant you your wish. It's time we put an end to all our grievances."

Tang Yun's cold voice rang loud and clear as she gave him the ultimatum, but deep down, she was pained that she had to make such a difficult choice.

Snippets of memories flashed back in her mind. The time they spent at the Chu residence and the rainforest, and their eventual disagreement at Jiangdong all felt like recent events. Ye Fan was the one who made her happy and blissful when she was younger.

If it were not for him, she would have spent her whole life guarding the Chu Sect without knowing what true happiness was.

The time they spent together was like a dream to her, yet just as how he had made her feel love and warmth, he had equally grieved her.

It was time she woke up from her dream.

She was not Yu Yun anymore.

She was Tang Yun now, and the burden she shouldered meant they were destined to be on opposite sides.

It was time she put an end to her inner struggle and answer duty's call.

She once had everything, and it was time she let go.

Perhaps putting an end to their past herself was what she needed to do to get over him. She had to do this to find herself back her heartless and indifferent self. Lifting her sword, Tang Yun looked up in unwavering resolution.

With a decisive and forceful swing, she hurled the Seven Foot Green Blade in Ye Fan's direction.

The seasoned martial artist shot toward her target, unleashing her full potential.

A bloody war had just begun.

Now that Tang Yun was determined to use all her might to vanquish Ye Fan, she dashed toward him fiercely.

Whoosh!

Her blade cut through the wind flat out, stirring the wind.

Bolts of swirling wind encircled the blade as their distance closed, forming an intensifying and extensive momentum in the airas Tang Yun charged toward her enemy.

Ye Fan stood still as she approached.

"So you've decided to defend that imbecile," he murmured.

"Look at what you're doing now. I shouldn't have trusted you when you said you cared for Angie."

When Ye Fan saw Tang Yun's malicious attack and the formation of a storm in the air, he laughed at himself for believing her.

He would never have expected that she would really want him dead.

They had parted ways at the Chu residence and they treated each other as complete strangers the previous time. Despite growing distant from each other, every swish of Tang Yun's sword seemed to pain Ye Fan.

However, the truth was that there was no way he would feel unmoved.

I should stop entertaining one-sided sentiments toward her.

His heart had died the moment they ended things between them.

I should have given up on all hope of our relationship then...

"Since you started this, I will do as you wish. I will not stop until one of us falls dead!"

Ye Fan raced forward and took her attack head-on.

He waved his blade, sending golden lights flashing from his sword as if he was summoning the power of nature.

He was ready to fight with all his might.

He stomped on the ground and leaped from there into the sky.

Like a golden giant, he sent himself right into the violent storm.

Chu Zhengliang and the others were stupefied when they beheld the sight.

They could not believe what they were seeing.

"Why is he thrusting himself into the air?" they asked in disbelief.

The man was throwing himself into the most dangerous position. It seemed like he was going all out this time.

"Isn't he afraid that he will get himself killed?"

When Tang Yun saw that Ye Fan had jumped right into her trap, she maneuvered the strong waves and sent the blades of air showering on him.

"I don't think he will survive."

Chu Zhengliang watched carefully as he awaited the outcome. He held his breathing, wondering what would happen to Ye Fan.

Everyone from the Chu Sect hoped that Tang Yun would win this fight.

Boom!

Ye Fan lifted his arm and blocked his body against the attack.

The sharp blades of air blasted on his arm in full force.

"What does he think he's doing? Does he really think he can shield himself from Ms. Tang's attacks? He must be crazy!"

When they saw he used his own hand to counter the attack, they all thought Ye Fan was being foolish.

To them, the easiest way would be to escape the blow, but before they had time to doubt if Ye Fan did the right thing, Tang Yun had already launched another strike.

She flung her blade downward, releasing a flood-like force toward Ye Fan.

Now that the pressure was compounded, Ye Fan could only withstand it for a while. Whin seconds, he was forced back down.

The rocks and trees split into pieces along the trail of his movement.

Under Tang Yun's persistent attacks, he was pushed back by thousands of meters until the blades of air lost their power.

"Bravo!" someone shouted.

"Ms. Tang won!"

On Mount Chumen, people from the Chu Sect applauded Tang Yun's victory, but Chu Zhengliang and the sect elders seemed worried. They knew this was not the victory they awaited. "So this is what the Dragon God Body can withstand?" one of them commented.

"Indeed. He survived unscathed."

"It's okay. Ms. Tang will still be able to kill him. He might have survived, but Ms. Tang is still stronger than him," Chu Zhengliang added.

Tang Yun raised her sword again, ready to deal another blow.

Again, a vortex of airflow gathered around her sword before being propelled toward Ye Fan.

Tang Yun was known for her fast and fatal moves.

In fact, she was known for her first strike in the martial arts world.

Not even the Sword God of Japan nor the Sword Saint of China could match her in this regard.

Tang Yun was unparalleled when it came to her use of the sword.

She steered her blade synchronously as she moved. Everything was so seamless as she entered the One With The Sword state.

Rays of radiant lights came from her body, blinding all the on-lookers.

It was a sight to behold. The martial artist advanced adroitly toward her enemy as if she was putting up a graceful dance.

"I finally understand why Ms. Tang is on the Sky Ranking. She totally deserves it."

"She never fails to amaze me. She is on a whole new level."

Everyone stared in bewilderment.

They were dumbstruck by what they saw.

Tang Yun had her strategy laid out and she had full control of their combat.

Ye Fan did not stand a chance under her constant blows.

He might have the Sword of Yunyang, but he could only be on the defensive when Tang Yun afflicted him ceaselessly.
