A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1935

Soon, the body of Duolun was carried down from the top of the palace by King Folo and the others.

Bapei cried out, "Duolun, wake up. Please don't die. If you're dead, there will be no one else that can stop Chu Tianfan. Who is going to defend the martial arts world of India then?" However, Duolun was already long gone.

Half of his body was already sunken in, while his chest had been completely smashed.

One could no longer distinguish his facial features.

King Folo could not imagine the kind of attack that his senior had been through that caused him to end up in such a harrowing state.

It was common knowledge in the martial arts world that it was an easy task to defeat a Grandmaster but an arduous effort to kill one. Duolun was one of the top ten fighters on the Sky Ranking. As such, it would have been near impossible to kill someone like him. However, it seemed that such a common knowledge had been proven otherwise with Duolun's death.

"Bapei, it's useless. He's already gone!"

King Folo was equally upset.

Nonetheless, he had to accept the truth no matter how hard it was.

His senior had indeed passed on.

Duolun was now a legend of the past.

Regardless, Bapei still found it very difficult to accept that fact. He was still trying his best to transfer his Internal Energy into Duolun's battered body in the hope of a miracle. Obviously, it was not possible.

Ye Fan's last attack had eliminated any possibility of Duolun's revival.

The sword had pierced through Duolun's heart and pinned his body at the top of Folo Palace.

And that signified the end of Duolun.

"Why? How did this happen? You had already won, hadn't you? So why are you the one who ended up dead instead?"

Bapei's eyes were filled with anguish and sadness. Tears were flowing down his face.

Duolun had gone through so much hardship in life! I can't believe that after being in seclusion for ten years, his first fight turned out to be his last. He hasn't even made his return known to the martial arts world of various countries yet.

If possible, Bapei wished that Duolun had not come out of seclusion.

Because if that was the case, he would not have died so horribly.

Soon, King Folo and the rest returned to Folo Palace once again.

Haibu, who had been injured by Ye Fan earlier on, had also rushed back to Folo Palace.

At the moment, Ye Fan had yet to launch an attack at Folo Palace.

He had given them one day to hand Junie over.

Right then, the entire Folo Palace had gone into a state of emergency.

All of its disciples armed themselves with weapons and guarded the palace entrance. They were prepared to fight to their deaths.

At the same time, King Folo had released a summon.

In a short span of time, all the martial artists in India were making their way to Folo Palace.

Perhaps, the abilities of those martial artists were nothing compared to that of Ye Fan.

However, a sufficient number of fighters would eventually make up for the lack of quality.

If Ye Fan really forced them to the point of no return, they would have no other choice but to fight to their deaths.

Of course, that would be the worst case scenario.

As of that moment, they still had tons of options.

"Tell me. What should we do now?" asked Folo as the wind blowing outside made the temperature in the castle drop even lower.

With teary eyes, Bapei stood up and said, "We'll fight! Since Chu Tianfan wants to wage a war against us, we'll do just that! Worse comes to worst, we will perish with him! India has so many martial artists. Even if we have to die, we will never bow down to someone of no importance from China! I will rather die fighting than kneel before him! In fact, I swear to knock out a few of his teeth before I die. We have to avenge Duolun!"

His voice was filled with undying hatred.

All he wanted to do was to go all out against Ye Fan.

In response, Haibu shook his head in despair.

"Perish with him? That's easy for you to say. We are talking about countless lives here. I have witnessed the entire fight between Duolun and Chu Tianfan. Chu Tianfan's abilities are not something that we can imagine. Even if the entire country goes up against him and fights to the death, the victory we obtain will only be a tragic one! It doesn't matter whether the four of us can survive, but one thing's for sure is that at least half of the martial artists in India will perish by then."

Bapei stared at Haibu unhappily and said, "Haibu, what do you mean by that? Are you asking us to just let the matter go? Are we going to let Chu Tianfan off for killing Duolun? Do you want us to just sit back and let Chu Tianfan rampage India?"

Haibu retorted, "Well, what are you suggesting then? That we should sacrifice the lives of our people to fight against Chu Tianfan? Or do you intend to fight him on your own? If you want to die, go ahead. We won't stop you. If Fen Tian didn't abduct his woman, Chu Tianfan wouldn't have invaded India, and India wouldn't have suffered such a disastrous fate."

In any case, Haibu really did not want to go up against Ye Fan.

That youngster is simply too terrifyingIChu Tianfan is not a human. He's more like a monster. There's no way India could go up against him. Hearing that, Bapei went quiet.

Even Fen Tian, who was usually arrogant and despotic, had lowered his head in silence.

In truth, Fen Tian did not expect Junie to have such an intimate relationship with Ye Fan.

Furthermore, he did not expect Ye Fan to still be alive.

However, it no longer mattered what he expect, for it was all too late now.

"My king, I suggest that we do as Chu Tianfan has requested and hand over the woman to him."

"No, we can't do that!" Fen Tian protested, "If we hand her over, we will lose our only bargaining chip. When that happens, we will end up like Duolun!"

King Folo was upset. "Fen Tian, let's wait for Haibu to finish speaking first."

Haibu continued, "Before we hand her over, we will list out our conditions. That should do it."

"Then, what about Fen Tian? Don't forget that Chu Tianfan has also requested us to hand over Fen Tian," said Bapei.

Hearing that, Fen Tian's haggard face turned pale.

Evidently, he was afraid that King Folo would actually hand him over to Ye Fan.

"I think we should just hand him over to save ourselves from all the trouble," uttered Haibu begrudgingly.

"You... How could you!" Fen Tian was starting to panic.

Thankfully, King Folo stopped the argument from going further.

"Relax. Even if you are really at fault, I'll be the one to punish you, not Chu Tianfan. Let's do it this way. I'll go with Haibu to Grange River and negotiate with Chu Tianfan. You will stay here in Folo Palace with Bapei and take charge of things," said King Folo.

"What? You're going to go there personally? No way! If Chu Tianfan hurts you, that will really be the end for the martial arts world of India!" exclaimed Haibu and Bapei anxiously.

After all, King Folo was the leader of the martial arts world of India.

Now that Duolun was already dead, if King Folo were to perish as well, the martial arts world of India would truly be over.

"Don't worry. If Chu Tianfan really wanted to kill me, he wouldn't have threatened us from afar. He would have charged into Folo Palace by now. It's obvious that he doesn't want the woman to get hurt in the process. Like what Fen Tian mentioned earlier, as long as his woman is still in our hands, he won't dare to cause much trouble. As for why he killed Duolun, I can only say that he must have his own reason." In truth, King Folo was actually a little worried when Duolun wanted to challenge Ye Fan.

After all, Duolun was an arrogant person who liked to underestimate his opponents.

As a result, when he met Ye Fan, it would be akin to Mars colliding with Earth, where one party had to die no matter what.

In the end, that was indeed the outcome.

Although they had a hostage with them, Duolun still got killed.

King Folo smiled coldly. "Besides, it's not like we're completely helpless even without that woman. Don't forget that Folo Mountain is right behind us."

Haibu, Bapei, and the others all turned and looked at the ancient mountain behind them.
