A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 975 News Breaks

"How strange. Why are all of them going to Japan? Are they launching a sneak attack on Japan's martial arts?" said Sword Saint puzzledly as he watched the martial artists leave.

After Ye Fan's massacre, the Japanese martial arts circle had taken a severe blow and they were now at their weakest.

So it was only natural for Sword Saint to think that these people were hoping to attack and take over the Japanese martial arts circle while they were down.

"But aren't they afraid of Tsukuyomi Tenshin? Japan's martial arts circle has lost many powerful fighters, but Tsukuyomi Tenshin alone should not be underestimated. Tsukuyomi Tenshin is the only martial artist in the whole world who might possibly reach Godly Realm after all."

Sword Saint looked very gravely into the distance.

He didn't know why, but he just felt like something huge was about to happen.

"King of Fighters, is there any major movement coming from the Japanese side?"

Collecting information on the movements in other countries was placed under the King of Fighter's charge, so Sword Saint turned around to ask him.

The King of Fighters shook his head. "After that major battle between Chu Tian-Fan and Yukiteru, nothing of concern has happened in the country. Just a few minor everyday incidents like the sinking of a cruise and some small earthquakes."

"Oh? That's really strange then. Why are all these people headed for Japan then?" Sword Saint was even more puzzled now.

News of a cruise sinking in Japan had already reached their ears, but nobody took much notice.

After all, very few people knew that Ye Fan had actually been on this cruise.

"Send some people to watch them then.

We should at least figure out what these people are up to," Sword Saint gave some simple instructions before returning to War God Castle with the rest. They decided to leave the coast of Donghai, but they did not let their guard down and sent out informants to keep watch on these martial artists.

The informants soon found out that after these martial artists headed for Japan, they stopped when they reached Japanese waters.

All of them were spread out across the water and seemed to be looking for something in the sea.

The night soon passed.

A piece of news from Japan suddenly reached War God Castle at the break of dawn.

Chu Tian-Fan, the man who had just killed his way through Japan and earned the 11th place on the Sky Ranking, was dead!

This news was circulated within a very small circle, and most of the martial artists in Japan thought it was just a rumor when they first heard it.

"Chu Tian-Fan is dead? You're kidding, right? He's a grandmaster on the Sky Ranking and even Yukiteru lost to him. How could he possibly die so easily?"

"Exactly. Stop joking around. Chu Tian-Fan became so famous after that one battle and he's still basking in the glory of that victory. So many martial arts organizations around the world want to invite him to join them, and all the martial artists of the world can't wait to get into his good books. Who would kill him? Who can even kill him? And who would actually dare to kill him?"

Many martial artists in Japan merely snorted at this news.

Several similar posts appeared in online martial arts forums as well.

But nobody believed any of it.

After all, Chu Tian-Fan was on the Sky

Ranking, and many people viewed the martial artists on the ranking as invincible.

Who would believe these random posts without any proof?

"My goodness, why won't any of you believe it? Japan dispatched their first division and used the navy, land and air forces at the same time. It was a missile attack followed by an attack by fighter jets. A luxury cruise with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons was bombed so badly that it sank. My nephew was part of this mission, so of course it's real!"

"What? You need to see his dead body before you'd believe it? Oh please. Even a body made from steel would be in pieces after getting bombed like this. No matter how powerful that Chu Tian-Fan is, he's stil a human made from flesh and blood after all. There's no way you'd find his body."

As time passed, more and more information about this incident started spreading online.

More and more evidence pointed to the idea that this news was actually real.

On top of that, after that major battle in Japan, Chu Tian-Fan seemed to have disappeared into thin air and nobody saw him again.

This helped to confirm that the news had to be true.

Several days later, the Japanese armed forces actually publicly admitted to shooting Chu Tian-Fan to death in the Pacific Ocean on 18th May 2020.

"This man was cold blooded and bloodthirsty, was violent and destructive during his time in Japan, and has caused unimaginable damages to our citizens' lives and assets. It is impossible to finish writing down all his crimes! His wickedness is spinechilling! The Japanese armed forces have decided to seek justice for our people and destroyed him so as to serve as a warning to anyone else who may have evil intentions towards us. The authority and prestige of Japan shall not be trampled upon so easily!"

This news spread throughout the global martial arts circles like wildfire and raised a tsunami within the community.

Chu Tian-Fan was dead!

A rising new star and a legendary youth who shook the world actually died just a few days after he had become famous.

It felt like a symphony that had built up dramatically to the climax was stopped all of a sudden.

The global martial arts world was in an uproar.

"A legendary youth of our generation has just...has just died like that?"

Many people found it difficult to stay calm after hearing about this piece of news.

Just some days ago, the name 'Chu Tian-

Fan' had rocked the world.

Everyone thought that it was now the start of this young man's era.

After all, he was only twenty, but he had already made it into the Sky Ranking and defeated so many highly skilled martial artists in Japan. His future was definitely bright.

Everyone thought that the major battle in Japan would be the start of this legendary youth's rise to glory, but it turned out to be his last battle. "How sad. Even the heavens are jealous of talented ones."

Many people were shaking their heads and sighing. They felt that it was such a pity.

The atmosphere back in War God Castle was equally somber.

Sword Saint kept sighing, and even the talkative King of Fighters was completely silent now.

The air around them felt particularly depressing.

The ones who suffered the most from the death of Chu Tian-Fan was clearly the Chinese martial arts circle.

Even though Chu Tian-Fan wasn't officially part of War God Castle, he was a Chinese after all.

Even though he wasn't a member of War God Castle, he was still a great martial artist from China.

But now, before they could even see what Chu Tian-Fan looked like, he had already died.

"Damned these Japanese! They've gone too far!" roared the King of Fighters as he broke the long table in front of him with a punch.

They were all furious, but there was nothing they could do.

After all, Ye Fan had really killed a lot of people in Japan, so it was only normal for

Japan to seek revenge.

They couldn't blame others for standing up forthemselves.

So even though War God Castle wanted to fight back, they couldn't find a reason at all.
