A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 972 Ending the Feud

"Damn it! Why do you know Invoke the Celestial Sky? There are definitely no more than three people in the entire Chu clan who knows this. You're just a child who was thrown out of the clan and the son of a woman from the village! How could you possibly know Invoke the Celestial Sky?"

Chu Zheng-Liang could feel a burning and stinging pain in his chest as the energy from Ye Fan's palm entered his body.

But the shock in his heart was even greater than the pain he was feeling.

How did the Chu family manage to stay at the top of the global martial arts scene for so many years?

It was all thanks to the Book of Celestial Cloud that the Chu family owned.

But the Book of Celestial Cloud was considered the most highly classified information of the clan, so even Chu Zheng-Liang wasn't allowed to see it.

The only two things inside the book that he could see were the Invoke the Celestial

Cloud and Invoke the Celestial Sky.

These two secret techniques were only one word apart in name, but their use and effect were completely different.

Invoke the Celestial Cloud was the foundational method of cultivating martial arts.

But Invoke the Celestial Sky was a martial arts move meant for attacking others.

Invoke the Celestial Cloud was a method used to gather and focus one's inner energies, while Invoke the Celestial Sky was a technique meant for dealing with enemies. The two things were dependent on one another.

But because Chu Zheng-Liang wasn't the head of the Chu family, even though he was allowed to read these two secret techniques, he could only learn a bit of it. Only the current head of the family was allowed to get the real essence of it.

This was also why Chu Zheng-Liang was so insistent on pushing his son to become the head of the family, and was even willing to kill his own nephew to achieve that end.

Now that he saw an exiled son of the family was actually able to use the most top secret and powerful martial arts technique of the family, Chu Zheng-Liang couldn't help but become furious and started shouting at Ye Fan.

But Ye Fan couldn't be bothered with him.

After he managed to force Chu Zheng-Liang to retreat, Ye Fan pulled together the last bit of strength and jumped into the sea in hope to escape.

"You little bastard! You think you can escape?"

There was no way the incensed Chu Zheng-Liang was going to let Ye Fan escape.

He stabilized his position and pulled together all the energy within his body.

He then thrust his palms continuously towards where Ye Fan was swimming to.

"Earthshaking Palm!"

"Earthshaking Palm!"

"Earthshaking Palm!"

"Earthshaking Palm!"

Chu Zheng-Liang seemed to have gone mad and thrust his palm out a few dozen times.

The mark of his palms practically blotted out the sun and threaten to destroy the whole place.

Each palm would raise a huge wave in the sea waters it hit.

This storm like attack made the entire area start shaking.

Tons of water was forcibly pushed out from the sea and the gigantic waves splashed everywhere like a sea monster.

Chu Zheng-Liang finally stopped his attacks after he had used up all his energy.

Everything fell silent once more.

The tumultuous waters quickly quietened down again.

The sea breeze continued to blow against the blue surface of the sea.

The layered sea waves continued to roll from the horizon and beat against the rocks along the coast again and again.

The area where Ye Fan had dived into was empty.

Only bright red blood continued to ebb out from beneath the surface.

That entire area was dyed completely red.

Chu Zheng-Liang walked over and could see parts of Ye Fan's tattered clothing and his completely battered body.

A smile slowly spread across Chu Zheng-Liang's face after he saw this.

He pulled out a satellite phone and made a call.

"Tian-Qi, everything is over now. I've already thrashed him so badly that he's in pieces and you won't even find his body. Chu Tian-Fan is already dead, so from now on, you, Chu Tian-Qi, will be the only Tian descendant in the Chu family. Nobody can stop you from becoming the head of the family anymore! HAHAHAHA!"

A man stood beneath the skies and looked out at the vast seas.

His proud and uninhibited laughter sounded like the rumbling of thunder rolling across the sky.

Chu Qi-Tian on the other end of the line was overjoyed to hear that Ye Fan was dead.

Ten years!

He had fought Ye Fan for ten years!

"Chu Tian-Fan, oh, Chu Tian-Fan. You have an astonishing gifting and you've risen above the rest, but so what? In the end, I'm the one with the last laugh! Whereas you are nothing but a pile of broken bones now. You wanted to fight me? You really thought you could fight me?"

Chu Qi-Tian had never felt so relaxed and happy before.

It was as if the great rock that had been pressing against his heart was finally gone.

This matter that had bothered him for so long had finally been resolved.

The feud that lasted the last ten years had finally come to an end!

An icy wind blew over the vast Pacific Ocean and carried a humidity unique to the sea as it howled.

After killing Ye Fan, Chu Zheng-Liang left.

The entire place fell back into serenity again.

It was left with nothing but the sound of the waves crashing against the beach.

Everything had gone back to what it was before.

It seemed like the ferocious fight and attack had never happened at all.

Several kilometers away from this island, a cruise was slowly making its way across the waters.

"Nannan, wake up..."

"Nannan, wake up..."

A beautiful young lady was quietly lying on the bed inside one of the cruise's cabins.

Her bloodshot eyes were shut fast and her gorgeous face was covered with pain and terror.

Even though she was unconscious, both her hands were still clutching onto something very tightly.

There were a few men and women around her who kept calling her name repeatedly.

Finally, the young lady awoke from her long slumber.

"Professor An, Nannan is awake! Hao-Nan, quickly get her some water!" Kong Hui was so happy to see that Chen Nan had regained consciousness and quickly got her boyfriend to get Chen Nan some water. "Kong Hui? Professor An? Where am I?"

Chen Nan just regained consciousness and clearly had trouble remembering everything that happened just before she blacked out.

She rubbed her head and her listless eyes looked around her confusedly.

The room was slightly luxurious and was rather exquisitely furnished. She could see the sea water surging outside the round window. Everything seemed so familiar yet so unfamiliar.

"Nannan, you're now on the Princess. For some reason, you suddenly appeared on the deck of the Princess yesterday. Your entire body was covered with blood and you were unconscious on the floor. I was so scared and thought you might be dying or something. But thankfully the blood on your body didn't belong to you. The doctor on the ship said that you've just suffered some shock, but you're not injured." "But seriously though, you're really lucky. Every single person on that boat died, and I think you're the only passenger who managed to survive," Kong Hui immediately shook her head when she said this. Her eyes were filled with sympathy for the victims.

After hearing this, Chen Nan suddenly seemed to have remembered something.

Her body shuddered, then she hopped off the bed and started running out.

"Nannan, where are you going?" Kong Hui quickly caught hold of her.

"Fan!! I'm going to look for Fan! Let go of me! Let go of me!" Chen Nan bawled loudly as her tears streamed down her face.

She felt like she could see that determined skinny frame standing in the midst of the raging flames.

Ye Fan had used the last bit of his strength to send her to safety.

She remembered it now. She remembered everything now.
