A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1919

The island started to rumble, as if the ocean beneath it was starting to boil. Countless wheels started floating into the air, as if they had been waiting for theircue.

And then, everyone saw the wheels starting to get filled with ancient, eerie lines.

The energy flowing within nature was summoned, and lighting started flowing down to the island, covering it in electric energy, as if they were commanded by something invisible.

The wheels were covered in lightning, and they started blinking like dangerous stars that would kill anyone who came too close to them. However, the lightning did not run amok. Instead, the energy started congregating, until they eventually became nine fiery dragons.

Every dragon was at least a hundred meters tall, and the flames that formed their bodies roared across the land. It was as if a volcano was about to explode, and magma would roll down the slope, covering anyone that stood within its path and killing them.

Fen Tian laughed arrogantly. "Your time is up, Chu

Tianfan! Feel proud, for you shall have a taste of the Elysian Faction's oldest formation right before you face your doom!"

He stood atop in the air, looking down at all the people who were on the island as if they were nothing but insects.

The lightning might have merged together, but there were still residue amounts swimming across the island. Martial artists could take that much energy, but most of the people down there were civilians. The whole island was covered by the formation as Ye Fan and Fen Tian battled. Hence, all of them were locked on the island with no way to escape.

The lightning that swam around tormented them, and they lay on the ground, shaking as the electricity coursed through them.

"Save us, Your Majesty!"

"W-We are your people!"

Fen Tian's clansmen were among the ones who were suffering as well. They lay on the ground, moaning and groaning for mercy, but their king did not care about them of course.

His clansmen and even his own family were nothing but mere insects. Right then, his mind was occupied by one thing and one thing only: to kill Ye Fan.

"Oh no. The formation is done. Once the fire dragons have stored up enough power, we will all be doomed."

The Elysian Faction fighters had a look of despair on their faces. It might be the first time they were witnessing the formation in real life, but it was their faction's oldest formation, so they had seen its description in the books.

"Is there no weak point about this formation?" Ye Fan frowned.

No wonder these guys can survive the test of time. Sure, this formation is nothing compared to the ones described in the Book of Celestial Cloud, but everything in that book is related to the divine. In other words, only gods can use them. Or deities, at the very least. In other words, even though this Thunderflame Dragonslaying Formation is nothing compared to what the gods use, it is still the pinnacle of what mankind can achieve.

Even Ye Fan had to get serious about the formation. "No wonderthis old git held his wedding on this

island. So this is what he was aiming for?"

A frown dotted Ye Fan's forehead. He wondered why Fen Tian wanted to hold his wedding on his own land. Not to mention he invited a lot of rich and powerful guys to attend the event.

Before he saw the formation, Ye Fan wondered why Fen Tian wasn't worried about his enemies coming to destroy the island. Most of the time, martial artists would never allow anyone to know that they had their own private land.

After all, if their lair was exposed, their enemies could launch an assault and destroy everything in the lair.

After he saw the formation, however, Ye Fan knew why Fen Tian held his wedding in his lair. It was so he could get his enemies to attend and kill them all in one fell swoop.

Fen Tian probably never thought he would have to use the Thunderflame Dragonslaying Formation for this plan of his, but all that changed with Ye Fan's appearance.

Ye Fan was trying to find a way to break through, and he looked at the Elysian Faction fighters. Since they're from the same sect, they should know this formation well. The Art of War's most basic creed. Know your enemies, know yourself, and you can win all battles.

If Ye Fan could get his hands on the basics of the formation, maybe he could come up with a way to breakthrough.

"It is useless. This formation is made up by nine basic formations, and they act as the power source. Fen Tian has been working on it for decades. After all these years, they've probably absorbed an impossibly large amount of lightning.

"Lightning is the power of the heavens. No one can stop it," the man said. He shook his head, his face pale and his eyes filled with despair.

"So all I have to do is destroy the nine basic formations. If they have no power source, this formation can't work on its own. Do you guys know where the locations for the power sources are?" Ye Fan asked. The leader of the Elysian Faction fighters said, "Yes, we do."

"Well, tell me then."

They shook their heads. “It is still useless, Sir. Even if you know where they are, it's still impossible to destroy them, since the power sources are located outside the formation. If you wish to destroy it, then you must break through this formation first.

"But we can't do that either. Once you come to its border, the fire dragons will attack you. Any living being will immediately turn into dust when they are attacked by the combined strength of lightning and fire. We have no chance at all. We're stuck between a rock and a hard place."

The Elysian Faction fighters had already given up all hope of living. They looked up at the fire dragons that were swirling in the air.

The dragons were still gaining strength. Once their power was loaded up to the maximum, they would start their assault. The peace they were feeling was just the calm before the storm. While everyone was wallowing in despair, Ye Fan looked up at the formation's top, where the dragons were swirling. He said, "If we don't try, we'll never know whether we can break free." He stomped his foot and leaped up into the air using the momentum from that stomp.

"Sir, please, no!"

The Elysian Faction fighters were shocked, and the oldest fighters seemed like they would have a heart attack.

They gasped and tried their hardest to stop Ye Fan from going on with the suicide mission.

"Sir, don't go! Please!"

"You'll die if you do!"

But no matter how hard they screamed, Ye Fan did not hesitate, nor did he stop his leap. He was just like a blade of justice that would tear through the despair looming over everyone. "That is not a smart move, Sir."

As they could never hope to stop Ye Fan, the Elysian Faction fighters heaved a long, long sigh. They thought it was a shame that Ye Fan had to die like this.

Everyone's eyes were on Ye Fan, who was trying to break through, and even Fen Tian was watching Ye Fan's every move.

"You wish to break through the formation? That is just laughable." He sneered and sent the dragons charging toward Ye Fan. "My dragons! Kill that man!"

Just when Ye Fan was nearing the formation's borders, the dragons charged at him, and the energy coming off them formed pillars that crashed down upon Ye Fan.

The nine attacks came crashing down at him at almost the same time.

Ye Fan could defend against the first few attacks with his Dragon God Body, but as the fifth, sixth, and seventh attack crashed down on him, not even the Dragon God Body could endure it much longer, and his momentum stopped.

When the eighth attack landed on him, it sent Ye Fan crashing down like a meteorite. The earth rumbled, and the rocks around him were smashed into fine dust, while a crater appeared in the middle of the formation.
