A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1931

At that moment, Duolun stood tall in the sky with his sword in hand.

He was panting so heavily that his chest continued to heave.

Evidently, the previous attack had taken a lot out of him, for he had drawn out most of the Internal Energy stored in his elixir field.

Nevertheless, expending so much energy to kill Ye Fan was undoubtedly worth it.

After taking a breather, Duolun looked at the Grange River and declared with a commanding voice, "That's the end. From today onward, Chu Tianfan will cease to exist in this world!"

Whoosh!

As the chilly wind blew through the lands, Haibu and Bapei were delighted by the news.

"Hahaha! We won! Duolun has defeated the enemy!"

"Quick, Bapei, head into Folo Palace and tell everyone in there about the good news!"

Haibu and Bapei were filled with excitement.

The battle just now was so intense that both of them felt as if their hearts could stop at any time.

They were truly worried that Duolun would lose.

Now that he had defeated Ye Fan with tremendous power, both of them felt as if a heavy burden was lifted from their hearts.

Ecstatic over the result, Haibu ordered Bapei to report back to Folo Palace.

Unfortunately, not everyone shared their sentiments.

When Ye Fan was struck down by Duolun's sword and fell into the Grange River, Noa's heart shattered.

With tears in her eyes, she desperately called out his name as she hurried to where Ye Fan had fallen.

"Hmm? He has a subordinate?"

Duolun quickly noticed the petite figure in the forest.

He furrowed his brow at once but eased them a moment later, for he had noticed that it was just a helpless girl who didn't know how to fight at all. Ordinary folk like her could easily be crushed by Duolun with a snap of his fingers.

However, just when Duolun was about to do so, Haibu recognized the girl.

"Hmm? Isn't that Noa? Duolun, she's someone from Fen Tian's tribe. She's not an enemy."

After stopping Duolun, Haibu hurried over to Noa's side.

"Noa, why are you here? This place is dangerous.

Someone like you doesn't belong here. You should hurry home at once."

Haibu and the rest knew who Noa was, as she would visit Folo Palace every year with her father.

Therefore, he persuaded her to leave.

When she saw Haibu, Noa started to sob and pleaded for him to save Ye Fan. "Haibu, please, I beg of you.

Can you save him? I don't want him to die."

Haibu was initially dumbstruck and he had no idea who she was talking about.

But soon, it quickly dawned upon him.

"Are you asking me to save Chu Tianfan? The kid from China?"

Noa nodded. "I beg you Mr. Haibu, please save him. As long as you do, I'll promise you anything."

Her tears continued to stream endlessly. In fact, she even dropped to her knees to beg.

However, Haibu was already infuriated. With a darkening expression, he snapped, "Hold your tongue! You're making a big mistake here. Do you know who he is? He's the enemy of the Indian nation! How can you ask me to help him? Are you planning to betray the country? Instead of staying here, you should go home now!"

Haibu was so furious that veins had started popping out on his forehead.

Nonetheless, there was no way Noa would leave just like that.

Instead, she continued to plead with Haibu.

"Mr. Haibu, Ye Fan bears no ill will. He just wants to save the person he loves. It wasn't his intention to make enemies of us," she explained desperately.

"Shut up, a little girl like you knows nothing! Do you think you can be the judge of whether he is an enemy of India or not?"

Haibu was livid, for he had not expected to find a traitor within Folo Palace willing to beg for mercy on Ye Fan's behalf.

"Haibu, stop wasting your time with her. It's obvious that her heart no longer belongs to India. She has betrayed her own nation, and a traitor deserves death more than the enemy."

Duolun's voice suddenly rang out and Noa could feel the man's murderous aura enveloping her.

Nonetheless, Haibu persuaded Duolun, "Duotun, she's still young. There's no need to go so far as to kill her over a trivial mistake."

He turned to look at Noa. "Noa, get down on your knees quickly and swear to me that Chu Tianfan is just a criminal who deserves to die!" he ordered her anxiously.

Unfortunately, Noa refused to listen. "No, I don't want him to die." "You foolish girl!" Haibu was so outraged that his entire body trembled.

Despite his urge to help her, it had inadvertently become an impossible task.

The moment Noa said those words, Duolun waved his hand without hesitation and fired a blade arc in her direction.

"You dumb girl, why didn't you listen? What's so good about Chu Tianfan that you're willing to risk your life to protect him?"

Just as he sighed, Haibu's words expressed how much of a shame he felt it was.

He pitied Noa for having to die at such a young age despite being so beautiful.

Regardless, Haibu was cognizant that Duolun would never show mercy to a traitor.

Therefore, he would never let Noa live.

Just as Haibu watch the blade arc fly toward Noa and assumed that she would be killed, an energy burst from another sword was fired at it.

Boom!

As the two attacks collided, the impact unleashed a massive explosion. The shockwave of Qi that ensued threw Noa backward.

Given how light she was, she was sent flying through the air before falling into the crashing waves of the Grange River.

"What?"

Haibu was stunned.

"Could it be..."

With a tense expression, Duolun turned around and trained his gaze at where Ye Fan had fallen just now.

Suddenly, the surface of the Grange River burst open.

After that, a water pillar in the shape of a giant dragon soared into the air.

A scrawny figure could be seen standing proudly on top of it.

With the raging river beneath his feet, he was carrying a girl in his arms and exuding an authoritative aura.

"C-Chu Tianfan! H-How is this possible?"

When Haibu saw Ye Fan's figure again, he was almost driven mad to the extent he could feel his eyes popping out.

What sorcery is this? How can he still be alive after being struck by such a powerful technique? Even if his body is made of steel, he should have been cut down into mush already.

At that moment, Duolun began to lose his calm.

That was the first time in his entire life that fear and panic descended upon him.

Nonetheless, he quickly gathered his senses and prepared for battle.

Narrowing his gaze, he stared at Ye Fan intently and tightened his grip on his sword.

In contrast to Duolun's nervous expression, Ye Fan chuckled instead.

"Your name is Duolun, right? You are indeed very strong. In fact, you are worthy enough for me to remember your name. However, you have wasted too much of my time and this farce needs to end now. In the next second or so, I will show you what my true power is like!"

Ye Fan's faint voice echoed through the land.

The next moment, the Grange River began to rage in a turbulent manner.

Subsequently, Haibu noticed that the entire river seemed to be concentrating underneath Ye Fan's hand as if it had been summoned.

Finally, it solidified into a crystal-like sword.

Ye Fan then stepped in the air with his body covered in dragon-like markings that emitted a dazzling golden hue.

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

Many years had passed since the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique had reappeared in the world.
