A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1772

"Leave quickly, Gaius!"

When the four Dragon Slayers gathered their powers and attacked the elders of the Chu Sect, Gaius seized the opportunity. Like an arrow piercing through the air, he sprinted down the mountain rapidly with Ye Fan.

Meanwhile, Owen and the other two brought up the rear, trying their best to hold the fighters of the Chu Sect off.

"D*mn it! Why are these old geezers so powerful?" Tang Xian yelled.

He had scrambled to his feet by then. Even though he was very strong, the earlier attacks were powerful enough to injure him.

Blood dribbled down one side of his lips.

Naturally, the other elders were not in a good state too.

Those who stood at the rear were not severely injured, while the other three had their ribs broken and blood splattered everywhere. After receiving a single blow, they could no longer continue fighting. The weakest elder's chest was even blasted through from that earlier clash.

He lay in a pool of blood as life seeped away from him.

"Eighth Elder! Wake up, Eighth Elder!"

The fighters of the Chu Sect had come from all directions, and they immediately surrounded him. When they saw the Eight Elder lying there lifelessly, some of them shed tears.

Tang Xian clenched his fists as a frosty look crept into his eyes. "That b*stard, Chu Tianfan! If I don't kill you, I'll be letting the heroes who have died for Chu Sect down!" His furious yells echoed in the sky.

With Tang Xian taking the lead, the others attacked even more viciously and chased after Ye Fan again.

In Ye Fan's two visits to the Chu Sect, he almost defeated all of the deployed fighters, especially the Demonic Duo. Those two were so severely injured that they could not join the operation. However, the Chu Sect still had the majority of their combat prowess.

Although Ye Fan had defeated Tang Yun before, he had shown her mercy during the battle, so she only sustained some injuries.

After recovering, Tang Yun could unleash around fifty to sixty percent of her full powers.

Hence, even if the Dragon Slayers were there, it would still be tough for Ye Fan to escape Mount Chumen.

Evidently, Owen and the rest realized that too.

Therefore, to reduce the pressure on Gaius and help him bring Ye Fan out of Mount Chumen successfully, Owen and the others deliberately chose a different path from him when they retreated. Furthermore, when Gaius fought his way out, he intentionally made a huge commotion to attract the fighters' attention.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Gaius whizzed past the forest, moving so quickly that his figure could barely be seen.

"Hang in there, Master! We're almost there. Soon, we can get out of here."

Gaius was still running. However, Ye Fan's breathing was becoming weaker.

The pills that Junie instructed Gaius to bring were only effective for a short moment.

"D*mn you, the Chu family! D*mn you, the Chu Sect! How dare you harm Master to such an extent? After I reach the god realm twenty years later, I will destroy the entire Mount Chumen and take revenge for him..."

Although Gaius was greatly distressed, he could not stop cursing.

Just like that, he ran for dozens of kilometers.

Just as he was about to run out of the forest, an intimidating aura suddenly shot toward them from the front.

When Gaius raised his head to look ahead, he discovered someone standing at the far end.

It was none other than Tang Xian, the head of elders of the Chu Sect.

Gaius came to a halt and stared at him in disbelief. "Y-You... How is this possible? Didn't Owen and the others hold you back? How can you be ahead of us?"

Tang Xian snorted. "Your tactic might work for others, but you're too naive to think it'll be effective against me."

Indeed, Tang Xian had noticed something amiss when Gaius and Owen fled in different directions.

He instructed a large group of fighters to chase after Owen, while he headed down south to the mountain pass of Mount Chumen and waited for his targets to arrive.

As he had expected, Gaius and Ye Fan escaped in that direction.

Tang Xian said condescendingly, "If my memory serves me right, you're Gaius, the King of Pandera, right? You're considered a mighty king too. Why are you willing to stoop so low to acknowledge someone younger than you as your master? Chu Tianfan's glory is long gone. I'd advise you to turn back before it's too late and find a better master. If you still don't come to your senses and refuse to acknowledge that Chu Tianfan had fallen to such a pathetic state, you will follow him to the afterworld."

The gaze he directed at the duo was as though he was looking down at two pests. That was the reality.

In the face of Tang Xian, Gaius and Ye Fan were no different than sitting ducks.

He was a Supreme fighter, ranked top ten in the Sky Ranking.

If the four Dragon Slayers had not unleashed the Ice Fire Dragon and only joined forces, they might not be able to match up to him.

Furthermore, Gaius was the only one around.

Ye Fan no longer posed a threat to him, so Tang Xian disregarded him utterly.

Still carrying Ye Fan on his back, Gaius asked Tang Xian, "Hahaha! You're right. Actually, I've been meaning to pledge loyalty to another master for a long time. If it weren't for Owen and the rest threatening me at knifepoint, I wouldn't have come to Mount Chumen and gotten myself involved in this mess. Why don't we make a trade? I'll give my master to you, and you'll let me go. How does that sound?"

TangXian nodded. "If that's what youthink, King of Pandera, that'll be the best. It's always better to have one less enemy. Truthfully, I don't want to fight with you either."

"That's good, then. I'll pass him to you now. Catch!"

Gaius let out a laugh before grabbing Ye Fan and tossing him toward Tang Xian.

Initially, Tang Xian thought Gaius was trying to trick him. Seeing that the latter actually threw Ye Fan to him, he was overjoyed and rushed forward to catch the man. "Thank you for your gift, King of Pandera." Tang Xian expressed his gratitude and laughed.

However, he had barely taken a few steps when Gaius, who had been standing motionless, suddenly charged forward.

"Go to hell!" the latter spat as he leaped past Ye Fan, aiming his first at Tang Xian's head.

"Sh*t!"

Tang Xian's view was blocked by Ye Fan earlier, so it was too late by the time he realized Gaius was

attacking him.

He raised his arm to block his head in a hurry and received Gaius' punch.

Debris flew in the air.

The strike caused Tang Xian to stagger backward.

Nonetheless, as someone who ranked top ten in the Sky Ranking, he soon regained footing and started his counterattack.

At that moment, Gaius realized that if he continued bringing Ye Fan with him, it would be impossible for them to escape.

Hence, Gaius made a decision at that critical juncture. He carried Ye Fan and channeled all of his strength into his arms.

Just like that, with the strength of an erupting volcano, he raised Ye Fan and threw him forcefully toward the foot of Mount Chumen.

Boom!

The sheer force of his throw splintered the rocks and sent a deafening boom echoing across the place.

With Gaius' power, Ye Fan flew out of Mount Chumen like a lightning bolt.

"Stay alive, Master! You must stay alive!" shrieked Gaius at the top of his lungs, his eyes turning bloodshot. "Stop! F*ckyou!"

When Tang Xian saw Gaius throwing Ye Fan out, he panicked and spun around to chase after the man.

However, it was apparent that Gaius would not let him do so.

Gaius dashed over and picked Tang Xian up. Exerting the strength in his core, he forcefully dragged the latter backward. "Get lost! Do you want to die?"
