A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1918

"You want to exchange your life for Junie's?" Ye Fan laughed scornfully, as if he just heard the biggest joke in the world. "Don't you think you're thinking a bit too highly of yourself, Fen Tian? "Junie has helped me out more times than I care to count. Not even the whole India is worth a single strand of her hair, so what makes you think you're worthy enough? Exchanging her life for yours is just a foolish ambition." Ye Fan shook his head.

Fen Tian, however, was perplexed by that logic. "Hey, by that logic, you're getting a good deal, aren't you? She'smore important to you than a whole country is, while I am useless to you. You're exchanging a useless person for someone you love. Don't you think that's practically an infinite return on your investment?"

Fen Tian was propping himself up against a corner of the castle, the blood trickling down his mouth was drenching his robe crimson.

He was on the brink of death, yet he still had time to make small talk with Ye Fan.

Ye Fan chuckled. "You are right. If that is my only choice, then exchanging your life for Junie's is a great move to make, but there is one flaw in that line of thinking. Do you think I can't find herwithoutyour help? "You can stop struggling now, Fen Tian. It's useless. I came to India for two reasons: one, to take Junie home with me, and two, to kill you. In other words, I will save Junie, and you will still die nonetheless. "Honestly, Fen Tian, you and I don't actually have any grudge between us. Technically, that fight in the rainforest counts as one, but it was just a battle that stemmed from different ideologies, so to speak. It wasn't even personal. And you lost an arm in the process as well.

"Had you stayed out of your way, I would not have come to India just to kill you. But no. Oh no, no, no. You just had to go and kill my king. And this is the result of your actions."

Ye Fan's face was starting to get contorted with darkness and rage, his eyes filled with crimson murder.

Ye Fan would not forget what he saw that day for the rest of his life. The setting sun on the horizon draped the land in crimson light, covering the blood Long Baichuan spilled as he stood outside his nation, fighting until his very last breath.

"For many years, he had been by my side. He has made a name for himself and had even just gotten engaged. In the few hours before his death, he was probably thinking about his wife, who was waiting for him in their bedroom. That was the first day of their marriage.

"But you... You made sure he never had the second day with his wife. Even now, I am still too ashamed to see his wife. But soon that won't be the case anymore. Once I kill you, I will cut your head off and take it with me as I request to meet with his queen.

"I will tell her that I have avenged her king," Ye Fan said slowly. His voice was quiet, but the message was heavy and looming.

While Ye Fan was talking, the survivors noticed that the temperature seemed to have dropped a few degrees, and it felt as if they were being hurled into an icy dungeon.

Ye Fan slowly walked up to Fen Tian, as if he was a reaper adamant about taking the life of his victim.

Fen Tian was quiet. He leaned back against the wall, frowning at Ye Fan, waiting for the eventual outcome.

"Fen Tian, this is yourfinal chance. Tell me where Junie is, and I may grant you a painless death. You might have heard that the head of the Chu family is sealed on top of Mount Chumen and is tortured every single day. Yes, I am the one who did that.

"If you want to have a taste of what that feels like, I can give you that."

Ye Fan looked down at Fen Tian, and he created a sword made out of Qi, then held it in his hand.

It looked like a real sword from far away, but it was just a phenomenon that would occur when elemental force was released to a degree.

Even though it was a sword made by elemental force, everyone knew that it was as sharp as any blade in the world.

"You b*stard! Don't you dare touch my master!"

Fen Tian's disciples felt the murderous aura Ye Fan was radiating, and they came to their master's defense.

The disciples leaped ahead, charging toward Ye Fan. They roared at him and released all their strength as they attempted to take his life.

Ye Fan, however, did not even spare them a single moment. He swung the ethereal blade down, and it split into countless little blades that charged toward the disciples like a wave of swords. Every single blade hit its target, and the disciples were pumped full of holes.

Everyone watched in horror as the grandmasters who were Fen Tian's pride and joy died at Ye Fan's hands. They fell to the ground with a thud, and they did not even have the time to scream for the last time in their lives.

Blood gushed out from all the little holes on their bodies, looking like a crimson fountain.

The fighters from the Elysian Faction were shocked. They gasped in horror and took one step back, fearing that they might be the next victim.

What power and ferocity are that! How can he kill people like it's nothing! He's like a demon!

Ye Fan was not even fazed even after he killed those disciples. His gaze remain locked onto Fen Tian, waiting for him to answer.

"I-I'll talk! D-Don't kill me! I'll tell you where that woman is right now! Just give me a moment. I need to think..." Terrified, Fen Tian begged Ye Fan to spare him and give him a moment to think.

"Wait, something's wrong! Sir, he's trying to buy time! You have to kill him right now! He's activating a formation!"

The Elysian Faction fighters noticed something, and they quickly told Ye Fan to kill Fen Tian off, or something bad might happen.

However, it was already too late.

Fen Tian laughed, and he leaped up into the air, where an ancient golden wheel slowly appeared under his feet.

He laughed loudly. "I told you you're not a match for me, Chu Tianfan! Nobody is a match for me!"

Fen Tian looked up in ecstasy, and the golden wheel under his feet started spinning wildly.

An invisible restriction started appearing on the island as the golden wheel worked its magic.

"This can't be..." "Wait, this is Thunderflame Dragonslaying Formation! Fen Tian, you disgusting b*stard! Just because you lost a match, you resort to this? Put on a fair fight if you're a man! Using this is coward's play!"

The Elysian Faction fighters were shocked to find that the energy around them was starting to get restless. Thunderflame Dragonslaying Formation was the strongest formation their sect had. Because of its immense power, it was regarded as a sect-protecting formation. However, due to the decline in geniuses over the last century, nobody could build the formation anymore.

The formation would require an obscenely huge amount of resources and energy to make. Not only would the builder have to be talented enough to make it, they also needed time and money. Because of that, this formation was nothing but an exhibit in the faction.

However, none of them expected Fen Tian to successfully recreate the formation on his own island.

"Coward? Oh no, I'm afraid I'm not. History is written by the victors. Only the victors have the right to call whomever they want a coward. On the contrary, only brutes and fools think that might is the only thing required to win a war.

"And that fool is namely you, Chu Tianfan! You have all the power in the world, and yet you don't have the slightest idea of strategies and tactics. All you do is charge ahead to your doom. I would have done things very differently if I had your power. If I were in your place, the Chu Sect would have been the one to lose that battle back then.

"Of course, telling you all this is useless now. This formation you see is the Thunderflame Dragonslaying Formation. I spent a lot of time and money to collect all the resources it needs, and then I spent a further fifty years just to recreate it. Even supreme grandmasters will turn into dust if they are caught in this formation.

"The Pacific Ocean did not manage to grant you a watery grave. Chu Yuan, despite all the power he has, did not manage to grant you death. It seems that fate has decided that I shall be your executioner. The gods have spoken. My island shall be your final resting place, and I, Fen Tian, shall be your gravedigger!"

Fen Tian stood in the air and laughed victoriously, then he looked ahead with nothing but an icy gaze in his eyes. The King of India stepped forward, and he shouted into the heavens, "By my decree, you shall die!"
