A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 2189

“Still not giving up? In that case, don't blame me for not showing mercy!”

Seeing that Noa was still stubbornly resisting to surrender, Sophia snorted and immediately used Elysian Faction's palm technique.

“Thunderbolt Palm!”

With a strike, the wind swept through Sophia's palm, and the sound of a thunderbolt could be vaguely heard.

Everyone in the audience trembled when they heard the sound.

“Sophia is amazing!”

“I can't believe the thunder sounded at her strike!”

“This only happens when one reaches a certain height in palm technique.”

“Only a few people out of all the disciples of Elysian Faction had reached this level in Thunderbolt Palm.”

Everyone was astounded.

While admiring and praising Sophia's strength, the people present began to worry about Noa.

Someone from the crowd shouted, “Noa, stop the match. You'll get hurt. Just surrender!”

“Yes, that's right. You should surrender. Don't get injured.”

Her ears were filled with the voices of her fellow disciples urging her to admit defeat.

Nevertheless, there was no way a person as headstrong as Noa would admit defeat just like that.

She wanted to become a Grandmaster and finally reach Supreme.

She even imagined that one day, she could catch up with that man and help him conquer the world.

How could she rise to Supreme if she had admitted defeat at a minor sect battle?

And how could she follow the steps of that man?

Noa bit her red lip tightly with her teeth, and with determination in her eyes, she swung her sword and stabbed at her opponent.

Clang!

Her sword collided fiercely with Sophia's palm.

Under the surge of Qi, Sophia's palm was as hard as steel, and she directly blocked Noa's sword.

“I told you that's useless. You're just a beginner, a girl pampered your whole life. Yet, you want to learn martial arts? How delusional of you,” Sophia sneered as she never thought of Noa as her competition.

In her opinion, Noa only joined Elysian Faction momentarily for fun and would not persist.

However, Sophia's sneer didn't last long.

After she blocked Noa's first strike, the second strike and the third strike followed like a whirlwind.

Undoubtedly, Sophia was caught off guard by this technique.

She tried to dodge out of shock and barely avoided the second strike.

Nevertheless, the third strike slashed across her body.

Her sleeves were cut off, and a bloodstain slowly appeared on her fair arm.

What?

Everyone was stunned at first, followed by surprise.

Clearly, no one expected Noa to block Thunderbolt Palm from Sophia.

“I-It worked?”

Even Noa herself was stunned by the outcome.

She only did as instructed since she had no other choice.

Thus, she could not believe it actually worked.

Sophia was also confused. With furrowed brows, she took a few steps back while clutching her injured arm.

“You b*tch. Consider yourself lucky. I went easy on you earlier. From now on, I won't do that anymore!”

Sophia was enraged as she failed to avoid Noa's attack.

With an angry scream, she became undoubtedly more ruthless in her attacks.

She struck another palm technique of Elysian Faction in Noa's direction.

Feeling the immense power from her strike, Noa's pretty face turned pale immediately, not knowing how to deal with it.

Just when she was at a loss, the voice from earlier sounded again.

“Next, use the Third Form of Moon Sword Technique: Whirling Wind!”

A moment later, the voice sounded again.

“The third strike: Resting Bird! The fourth strike: Meteor Moon!”

Ye Fan's face remained unchanged, and he kept speaking in his low voice from the crowd.

Although Noa had little experience and didn't know how to be flexible, she had a solid foundation.

She followed the instructions and swung her sword again and again.

Noa's sword technique was not advanced, but her moves were aimed at the opponent's vitals. Her four consecutive strikes defused all of Sophia's attacks.

“The fifth strike: Soaring Hawk!”

Sophia and Luo Li's relationship was common knowledge to almost everybody in Elysian Faction.

Yet, Ye Fan could not care less about it.

After all, the elders of Elysian Faction were there to maintain the order of the scene.

He believed Luo Li would not dare to do anything out of line.

Even if he did, the sect elders watching the battle would stop him.

By then, Luo Li had already entered the ring.

“Were you the one who hurt Sophia?” he asked Noa, his eyes filled with unbridled rage.

Noa bobbed her head. “That is inevitable in a match. I didn't do it on purpose. The fight was just too intense.”

“Stop looking for an excuse. Now, fight me!” Luo Li glared at her intensely as he spoke with hostility.

Nevertheless, Noa ignored his request. “Why are you putting me in a difficult spot, Luo Li? You know I'm no match for you. Besides, my fight is over, and my next one is scheduled to be tomorrow. What's more, you are not my opponent in tomorrow's battle. Please excuse me.”

Noa didn't want to waste her energy on an unnecessary fight.

She was done with her battle today and just wanted to leave. With that, she turned to leave.

In spite of that, Luo Li wouldn't let her off the hook for hurting the woman he loved.

Since she wouldn't fight voluntarily, Luo Li forced her to fight him.

Boom!

A low and muffled sound rang out as Luo Li punched.

The powerful force brought bursts of sonic booms into the air.

It went in Noa's direction and was about to strike her on her back.

“Watch out, Noa!” Beneath the ring, several people warned her.

“Please stop Luo Li now, elders! Please save Noa!” Coman became anxious and yelled for help from the elders of the sect, who were sitting in a high place.

Yet, the three law enforcement elders turned a blind eye to that.

They merely sat back and watched Luo Li attack Noa.

Luo Li, one of the more powerful and respected disciples of Elysian Faction, was undeniably stronger than Noa. She wouldn't be able to defeat him even if she went all out.

Besides, Luo Li made a surprise attack from behind.

It was impossible for Noa to avoid his attack.

With a bang, the sickening crunch of bones and muscle could be heard. Noa was severely injured and sent flying as she coughed out blood.
