A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1749

Time seemed to have come to a standstill as all of Mount Chumen fell into a deathly silence.

Forthe members of the Chu Sect, the sight of Tang Yun falling was equivalent to the sky crashing down on them.

“M-Ms. Tang lost?”

Chu Zhengliang was so shaken up that his voice broke when he said that.

The head of elders, too, went wide-eyed with shock and disbelief. “H-How can this be? How could Ms.

Tang lose? This is impossible! Impossible!”

The members of the Chu Sect were all shaking their heads.

They couldn't accept the fact that Tang Yun, who had dominated the Sky Ranking for many years, had lost to an illegitimate child from the Chu family.

To make matters worse, Tang Yun had been defeated by her forte, the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique.

That fact alone made it more than just a mere defeat.

It was pure humiliation toward Tang Yun, the Tang family, and the Chu Sect as a whole.

The best way to assert dominance over someone was to beat them at their own game, and Ye Fan did exactly that.

By defeating Tang Yun with her strongest technique, Ye Fan had crushed whatever remaining ego and pride she had.

The once-powerful and domineering beauty had now been reduced to nothing but a failure, and everyone in Mount Chumen was rendered speechless.

The cheers had all stopped, and tears began to fall as everyone looked at their fallen leader all covered in blood.

“She lost... She actually lost...”

Some of them were still unable to come to terms with what had happened.

Ye Fan sheathed his sword and glanced at Tang Yun, who was lying in a pool of blood on the ground below.

“Tang Yun, I once told you that the things you take pride in mean nothing to me, but you didn't believe me back then. Well? What about now? Did you really think you could beat me simply because you delivered seven strikes? And here I thought you would at least know the most basic principle of swordsmanship after so many years of training! When it comes to swordsmanship, quality is a lot more crucial to victory than quantity. When you get to a high enough level, a single strike is enough to overcome a thousand! Unless you understand this concept, you'll never catch up to me even if you train for another twenty years or so!”

His cold voice boomed like thunder and rattled the eardrums of Meng Wanyu and the others.

Each word cut at Tang Yun's heart, shattering her ego, and crushing her pride.

Her face had gone pale, and blood continue to flow out of the corner of her mouth as she lay weakly on the ground.

Her crown had long since been knocked off her head in battle, her hair looked disheveled, and her beautiful dress was covered in dirt.

“Don't get the wrong idea. You are an enemy of Japan's martial arts world, so I have come here to kill you myself. Until that happens, I won't let you die by someone else's hand,” Moon God replied coldly with

a neutral expression on her face, making it impossible to read her thoughts.

Perhaps it was because of her high status that she was free from mortal desires and emotions.

Seeing no response from Ye Fan, Moon God reminded him, “I suggest you hurry up and kill that woman now. You won't be able to do so once Chu Yuan shows up."

Ye Fan glanced at Tang Yun, who was lying weakly on the ground before nodding solemnly with an icy-cold look on his face.

“Don't do it, Ye Fan! Master has lost the battle! She can't fight anymore! Please spare her!”

Meng Wanyu tried to stop him again, but Ye Fan showed no mercy this time.

“I did give her a chance earlier, but she chose to throw it away. I will not make the same mistake twice,” he replied coldly while shoving Meng Wanyu aside.

Buzz!

The Sword of Yunyang began buzzing loudly as an icy-cold aura formed around its blade.

With a swing of his arm, Ye Fan held the sword against Tang Yun's throat as he said, “Tang Yun, have you ever taken this outcome into consideration when you acted heartlessly toward me back then? All my life, I have only befriended those who are righteous and loyal. However, it appears I made a mistake when it came to you. I treated you with utmost sincerity, but all I got in return was a betrayal. I defended you with my life, and yet you tried to take mine in return.”
