A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1694

Chu Yuan stopped somedistance away from Ye Fan and asked coldly, “Are you going to hand it over or not?”

Truthfully, Chu Yuan could have killed Ye Fan with his attack earlier.

However, he intentionally avoided from doing so.

Seeing how Chu Yuan spared Ye Fan's life, one might have confused it as an act of kindness.

But that was far from the truth.

Although the duo shared a grandfather and grandson relationship, the Chu family had countless members.

As a result, Ye Fan was merely one of Chu Yuan's many grandchildren.

Furthermore, Chu Yuan never acknowledged Ye Fan's identity, and not once had they ever shared a familial moment with each other.

Earlier, Chu Yuan refrained from finishing Ye Fan off because he was coveting the complete version of Invoke the Celestial Sky.

If he managed to get his hands on it, Chu Yuan's power would reach great heights. The tales of his supreme status would be passed down through countless generations.

Yet, Ye Fan ignored Chu Yuan entirely.

With great effort, he hauled himself to his feet and leaned against a giant boulder.

Ye Fan didn't even spare a glance at Chu Yuan. Instead, he stood on the summit of Mount Chumen and looked toward the far east.

Although he'd trained for half a year and spent a whole decade planning this out, he was still defeated.

Chu Yuan is right; the fight has exhausted all of my energy. Even though it took all of my effort to perform the sixth form of Invoke the Celestial Sky, I only managed to injure Chu Yuan.

As realization dawned upon him, Ye Fan finally acknowledged his defeat. There would be no winning this fight.

Nevertheless, Ye Fan didn't have any lingering regrets.

After all, he'd tried his best and gave it his all.

Though he'd fought alone, Ye Fan almost managed to triumph over a world-renowned martial artist who had decades of experience.

Fate has led me to today's loss.

Even if he was going to die at Chu Yuan's hands today, Ye Fan didn't feel any sort of terror.

In fact, Ye Fan had prepared for himself to lose his life when he arrived here.

Death is inevitable anyway. To meet my end while chasing my dreams is a good way to go. However, I feel sorry for my loved ones. They will be saddened to hear of my passing.

“You b*stard, did you not hear what I just said?”

Ye Fan's blatant ignorance of Chu Yuan caused the latter to lose his temper.

Mercilessly, he lashed his palm out at Ye Fan again.

The brutal impact caused Ye Fan to cough up several mouthfuls of blood as his battered body collapsed to the floor.

Despite his injuries, Ye Fan remained smiling. He fought against the pain in his body and rose to his feet again, using the boulder for support. Once again, Ye Fan turned his gaze past Tianhe, China, and Jiangdong, to the direction of his home.

A beautiful and gentle maiden must be waiting for me to return home by the window.

“Ye Fan...” Angie burst into tears when she saw the wounds scattered across his body.

Amidst her sobs, she tried to rush over to protect him.

Before she could take a step, her father and brother caught her by the arm.

“Angie, stop messing around! You'd better keep your distance from this man if you don't want any harm to befall the Jones,” Bill warned her in a low voice.

Similarly, Meng Wanyu watched on with tears in her eyes.

Unable to stomach the sight anymore, she whipped her head to the side.

Ye Fan, I 'm so sorry!

Meng Wanyu couldn't help but blame herself for this

entire ordeal.

Ye Fan wouldn't have come if I didn't go looking for him in China. It's all my fault that he ended up in this position.

The more Meng Wanyu pondered over this, the more guilty she felt.

Deep down, she was dying to rescue Ye Fan. But no matter how hard she wracked her brain, she could not come up with a solution to bring Ye Fan out of this dire situation.

No matter how hard she tried, her power paled in comparison to Chu Yuan's overwhelming strength.

“Oh, the fight is over.” Aaron and the rest didn't look particularly happy about Ye Fan's defeat.

In contrast, the sight of his bloodied and limp body struck a sense of pity in their hearts. When they saw Ye Fan gaze wistfully into the distance, they felt an indescribable sense of heaviness.

This must be the hero's tragic ending.

“In this match, the winner will take it all. Although the loser has fought brilliantly, he still has to abide by the

rules of this match. Hence, he will lose his life.”

Chu Yuan's fist was right in front of Ye Fan's face.

Despite it, Ye Fan kept his composure. He continued to smile in the direction of his home.

Ye Fan parted his lips and whispered softly, “Mucheng, please forgive me. It looks like I won't be

returning home this time.”

If anyone looked closely, they'd notice the tears welling up in the corners of Ye Fan's eyes.

Promptly, Ye Fan shut his eyes and braced himself for death.

Just as everyone assumed that he was doomed, a white gleam glowed outside of Tianhe.

Initially, the gleam only had a bleak, flickering glow

But in the blink of an eye, it lit up as bright as the sun and began to rise up from the east.

Its dazzling light glowed so brightly that it caught everyone's attention.

All of a sudden, the blinding white light hurtled through the air like a streak of lightning through the clouds.

It moved so fast that it could rival the speed of light.

In a flash, the mark had shot across the surface of Tianhe.

While everyone watched the gleam in rapture, it began to speed toward Chu Yuan.

“What?” This unexpected occurrence caused him to gape in utter shock.

Worse yet, the blazing light was hurtling toward him. Immediately, Chu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

In a haze of panic, Chu Yuan's plans to murder Ye Fan slipped from his mind entirely. Instead, he quickly redirected his punch to face the incoming attack.

Bang!

A deafening sound echoed in the air when the dazzling light collided against Chu Yuan's outstretched fist.

The colossal impact produced such a strong aftershock that the ground was split in half. Around Chu Yuan, the winds picked up in speed as everything in the vicinity was ravaged to the ground.

Even the trees and grass were entirely uprooted by this overwhelming force.

After the winds dispersed, everyone noticed that Chu Yuan had lost his balance as the impact caused him to fall backward.

After Chu Yuan collided against several boulders, he finally managed to regain his footing. “F*ck! Who was that? The audacity of that person to meddle with the matters of the Chu family!”
