A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1766

Invoke the Celestial Sky was a powerful move, what more when it was performed by a god realm fighter.

After four blocks of moves, Moon God could no longer keep up with the elemental force unleashed thus far.

Suddenly, a tremendous force lifted her body and chucked her far away.

At that critical moment, all that she was worried about was Ye Fan's safety instead of hers.

Though blood was trickling down her face, her focus was not on herself. Sheer anxiousness swamped her like a wave when she saw Chu Yuan sprinting in the direction of Ye Fan.

She was not able to withstand the attacks from a livid Chu Yuan, let alone Ye Fan who was already on his last legs.

Fretting, tears welled up in Moon God's eyes. It was a rare sight to see how a noble and elegant Moon God actually acted in a frantic manner.

She screamed with all her might, but to no avail. Her voice was drowned by the howling wind.

Deep down, she knew very well that all subsequent efforts were futile when Ye Fan missed the shot.

Ye Fan knew that himself too. Therefore, he did not dodge Chu Yuan's assault, knowing that there was no way he could escape it.

Exhausted, Ye Fan barely had the strength to stand properly.

His renowned secret technique was releasing his moves through a relentless barrage of attacks using Red Flame Finger, causing a tremor in all directions.

Now, it seemed that his special talent had become his curse, and today might very well be the day he ceased to exist.

Yet, he maintained his calm composure, propped himself up, and tried to keep his balance. Not one trace of fear nor anxiousness could be detected in his expression.

His slender figure was like a tree anchored deeply to the ground, claiming an eternal position on earth.

In reality, Ye Fan already had one foot in the grave while parts of him held onto the last shred of hope, struggling to survive.

It was an ironic situation for someone so incredible, who never once depended on support nor asked for help, to end up in this state.

As the scorching sun slowly crawled below the horizon to give up its place for the moon, its crimson red hues stained Ye Fan's body and created the illusion of him drenched in blood.

He looked away, ignoring Chu Yuan and the Red Flame Finger which was about to destroy him.

He stared at Tang Yun with brooding eyes, smiling but said nothing.

His smile was layered with self-deprecation, mockery, and a deep longing as though he was questioning Tang Yun.

Are you satisfied now?

Tang Yun broke down at the sight of Ye Fan's awful state.

Stunned, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She looked in the direction of Ye Fan and yelled at the top of her lungs, "No, this isn't what I wanted! I don't want you to die."

Tang Yun could not suppress her emotions any longer as torrents of grief seized her entire being.

Tears continued to run in rivulets down her cheeks.

Crying and screaming hysterically at the same time, she just could not pull herself together.

Then, something shocking greeted everyone. The most beloved disciple of Chu Yuan, the head of Chu Sect, dashed toward Ye Fan desperately.

She remained resolute in her intention, just like the time when she fought against Ye Fan. The only difference this time was that she chose to shield the latter with an outstretched arm. "Ms. Tang, you..."

"Master!"

"Oh no!"

"Why?"

All the fighters of Chu Sect were shocked to the core to see what had just taken place.

Chu Shen and several others even tea red up at the scene.

They could not comprehend the action and found it to be incredibly unbelievable.

It was different from the time Tang Yun protected Chu Yuan.

Besides the thousand-year history of entanglement between the Chu family and the Tang family, Tang Yun shared a strong bond with Chu Yuan. There was no way she would sit idly by and watch her master getting killed.

Although Tang Yun was born with a silver spoon, she never knew what love was.

Her father was a martial arts fanatic who lost control of himself and killed his wife unintentionally. That was how Tang Yun's mother died.

Hence, Tang Yun's childhood lacked parental love.

The only person who truly cared for her was her sister. Unfortunately, she was cheated by a man and landed herself in a relationship quandary. Since then, Tang Yun had not heard from her sister. So, it was fair to say that Chu Yuan was the one who raised her.

Although Chu Yuan was very strict, he channeled all his effort into guiding Tang Yun and developing her into the head of Chu Sect that she was today.

Once a master, forever a master.

Tang Yun upheld this belief dearly, and she was ready to sacrifice herself to protect her master.

However, the same could not be applied to Ye Fan.

His filthy hands had killed many of the disciples from Chu Sect. In addition, he nearly destroyed Chu Yuan's Devil's Executioner too.

So, why does Tang Yun want to save him? Just why?

Everyone racked their brains, but no one was able to wrap their heads around the logic behind her actions.

Meng Wanyu was equally puzzled.

At that critical moment, Tang Yun could not be bothered about the nitty-gritty.

When Ye Fan decisively chose vengeance over her at the Chu residence back then, a part of her died on that very day. She thought that her heart had stopped beating for him.

Yet, when she personally witnessed his collapsing moments, she never felt more devastated. The pain and agony were beyond what she could bear.

Even when Chu Yuan was on the verge of death just now, the feeling that washed over her was not as tormentingas now.

She had lost all sense of rationality at that point.

There was only one thought racing across her mind- to save Ye Fan.

"Yun, what on earth are you doing? Are you out of your mind? Get back here!" Chu Yuan was absolutely dumbfounded at Tang Yun's abrupt actions.

He did not expect another person to step forward and protect Ye Fan after he had defeated Moon God.

The ironic thing was that the person going against him now was the disciple with who he was most pleased.

"How dare you betray me? Get away from him immediately!" Chu Yuan bellowed in rage.

Tang Yun chose to turn a deaf ear to him despite how livid he was.

However much guilt she had toward Ye Fan had become her unswerving motivation to protect him.

"Useless trash! You will be the death of me, traitor!" Chu Yuan scowled as he roared fiercely.

He could not take it anymore and felt like his body was going to blow up.

Never in a million years did he imagine that a betrayer would come from within the sect.

Anyhow, Tang Yun was still his beloved disciple. No matter what sin she had committed, it was impossible for Chu Yuan to take her life.

Left without a choice, Chu Yuan simply released a few moves but at a much reduced power and speed.

As a result of Chu Yuan's attack, the blazing Red Flame Fingerthat blocked out all sunlight dimmed instantly.

Chu Yuan managed the force exerted in order to kill two birds with one stone. His intention was to unleash sufficient power to get rid of Ye Fan while ensuring that lang Yun's life was unharmed. After all, Ye Fan was already in a bad shape. Chu Yuan strongly believed that any Tom, Dick, and Harry from the Grandmaster level could easily finish him off, let alone a god realm fighter like himself. With that in mind, the same force which struck Tang Yun would barely scathe her but was fatal to Ye Fan.

In the end, as the crowd watched on, the tamed Red Flame Finger died down.

Massive energy instantaneously swirled around Ye Fan and Tang Yun.

The next second, a strong gust of wind blew, whipping up the sand in a swirling frenzy and consuming the two figures.

No one could see what was happening inside.

Moments later, they saw a ray of purple light flickering in its midst like a candle in the wind.

"Ms. Tang!"

"Master!"

Fretting, people started getting down on their knees and prayed for the two who had disappeared.

"Ye Fan!" Moon God cried loudly. Her beautiful face was streaked with tears.

No one saw Tang Yun hugging the severely injured Ye Fan in the sandstorm. Her tears trickled down profusely on Ye Fan's wounds.

Right then, a ray of bright purple light was emanated from the jade lotus pendant that Tang Yun was wearing around her neck.

The light formed an enormous purple lotus and surrounded the two bodies like a layer of protection.

"This is..."

"Purple Ray Jade."

When Chu Yuan saw the purple lotus, he widened his eyes and was at a loss for words.

The elders from the Tang family also gasped in disbelief.

Much to their surprise, the heirloom of the Tangs had been activated suddenly!
