A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1743

Conflicting emotions warred within Chu Zhengliang.

Though he fervently hoped that Tang Yun would win, her victory would signify the loss of the Chu family's Invoke the Celestial Sky.

It would be a huge blow to their reputation.

Whatever, we'll deal with that later! Once my son merges with the Jade Eyes, he will unlock a whole new world of potential. When the day comes, I will pass down the ultimate move of the Chu family-Invoke the Celestial Sky. Once he is well-prepared, he can fight Tang Yun and restore our glory!

With this in mind, Chu Zhengliang felt his worries dissipate.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan's power was reaching its peak.

There he stood, his aura resembling a raging bonfire.

Waves of energy gathered and flowed to his palms like streams to rivers.

Within him, Invoke the Celestial Cloud was building up.

In a split second, a presence that rivaled Tang Yun's materialized.

Tang Yun's eyes became glacial as she observed Ye Fan's every move.

In the end, she shook her head in disappointment.

Is he seeking his demise? Why is he still being so stubborn at this stage?

Moments ago, Tang Yun had been contemplating if she should go against her sect's wishes and let Ye Fan live, provided that he begged for her mercy.

However, Ye Fan's actions thus far were enough proof that he would wreak havoc in Chu Sect if she did not end him right away.

With that in mind, Tang Yun hardened her heart.

She summoned the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique once again. Each strike would be clean and precise.

At this moment, Ye Fan's Invoke the Celestial Sky was ready to be unleashed.

Immense energy erupted and swept through the area.

Ye Fan soared through the sky, harnessing his energy like a sword.

The first form of Invoke the Celestial Sky, Cloud Sun Kick, made its appearance!

After delivering his first blow, Ye Fan clenched the power of the heavens in his hand and slammed his fist onto the ground. The earth quaked beneath his feet.

"Second form of Invoke the Celestial Sky-Tumble of the Majestic Mountain! Third form of Invoke the

Celestial Sky-Earthshaking Palm! Fourth form-Red Flame Finger! Fifth form-Void Slash!"

Ye Fan started the fight with five attacks in one go. Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

A hurricane formed, stirring the skies and seas.

The Earthshaking Palm loomed over the earth while the Red Flame Finger broke the dimensions.

Last but certainly not least was the Void Slash.

It contorted reality and brought about chaos.

From afar, it seemed like the sky and earth had been separated. Light and darkness intertwined in the space formed.

Ye Fan was no less than a god among mortals as he manipulated the dimensions. Life and death were at his command.

His colossal power oppressed the masses, its immensity causing them to suffocate.

"T-This..."

"Such incredible power!"

"No wonder he's the top of the Sky Ranking!"

"My guess is that apart from Tang Yun, no one on the Sky Ranking can withstand the full blast of Invoke the Celestial Sky."

Although many of the people present had experienced Ye Fan's powers first-hand, they were still astounded by the extent of his abilities. Whenever he revealed his capacity, it seemed like he held the power to destroy the entire planet.

Although Invoke the Celestial Sky and the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique were both highly regarded

secret techniques, there was a stark difference between the two martial art styles.

The aforementioned was frontal and aggressive, like a stampede of war horses whereas the latter was a gentle strength, much like the steady flow of a river.

It was a collision of yin and yang, strength and fluidity.

It was virtually impossible to determine who would be the last one standing.

"What happened?"

"What's going on?"

"Is the fight over?"

The Jones family had finally made it to the top.

The sight that greeted them was the trashed compound of the Chu residence and the standoff between Ye Fan and Tang Yun.

"Shut up! It's not over yet, obviously! Can't you see that Ms. Tang is still fighting him?"

The battle was entering its last phase, but the Jones

family, who had been taking their sweet time, had just arrived.

They had heard a deafening boom, followed by complete silence.

Hence, they assumed that the fight was over and came out of hiding.

However, their witless question garnered enraged comments from the head of elders of the Chu Sect.

They told the Jones family to stop spouting nonsense and watch the battle from a secluded spot.

Having heard this, Bill realized belatedly that they had miscalculated the time.

The battle was still ongoing.

However, now that they had shown themselves, it was too late to retreat.

Frightened, Bill ordered his entire family to head to the back.

After he had found cover, he lifted his gaze to see that the final battle between Ye Fan and Tang Yun had officially started. After Ye Fan's assault with Invoke the Celestial Sky, Tang Yun quickly retaliated with the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique.

Tang Yun was not one to be undermined. Taking into account that Ye Fan had begun with five moves, she struck five times as well.

"The universe beckons while the crescent moon begs for me to hold it! The first strike of the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique-Wind Flow!"

She continued chanting, "May cruelty and brutality ravage the earth, and the howl of anguish rule the night. The second strike-Ice Heart! The sword of a warrior pierce through thousands... The third strike- Green Dragon! The fourth strike-Memorial The fifth strike-Unicus!"

Whoosh!

Tang Yun went on the offense with all five strikes.

It was one strike more than the last fight.

Evidently, Tang Yun had put her guard up against the ultimate move of the Chu family and attacked with all her might.

The five strikes shot through the air like a bullet from a gun, backed by the incessant strength of a rapid river.

The crowd gawked as Tang Yun's energy crashed into Ye Fan's.

The first strike slammed into Ye Fan's Cloud Sun Kick and annihilated it with a resounding boom.

With its remaining energy, Tang Yun's Wind Flow charged forward and met Ye Fan's second form Tumble of the Majestic Mountain.

However, Tumble of the Majestic Mountain was the equivalent of a bulldozer. The large fists demolished Tang Yun's Wind Flow and collided with her second strike.

After a brief stalemate, Ice Heart emerged the winner and rendered Tumble of the Majestic Mountain useless.

Following that, Ice Heart merged with the third Cloud and Mist Sword Technique to create a synergistic effect and easily cut through Ye Fan's Earthshaking Palm. The spectators cackled.

"It looks like Ms. Tang is winning!"

Though both ends were still going strong, the start of the battle had given the onlookers a teaser.

They were able to make a guess on who would win based on just the first few moves.

In the first half of the battle, Tang Yun managed to intercept three Invoke the Celestial Sky forms with just two strikes.

By logical deduction, Tang Yun would be the one to last till the end.

As expected, by the time the first four Invoke the Celestial Sky forms had been destroyed, Tang Yun still had two strikes left― Memoria and Unicus.

To many, the result was obvious.

However, there were no halftimes in the battle of the strongest.

A fight between kings was a duel to the death!

"Looks like it's ending soon," Chu Zhengliang could not help but whoop in joy. He could almost taste the victory.

As Tang Yun gazed at Ye Fan, her eyes filled with compassion and sympathy for his plight.

With the crowd's eyes riveted on them, Tang Yun's last two strikes hurtled into Ye Fan's final move-Void Slash.

Both sides were deemed the best of the best. This was the fight of the century.

The moment the two bursts of energies met, the ground shook tremendously from the impact.

Boom!

The thunderous noise echoed throughout the mountains.
