A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 2225

While Ye Fan was arrogant, he knew when it was time to retreat. It's pointless to continue this fight in my current state. In fact, I may lose my life if I refuse to flee now that Moryana's here. Even though I came to Mount Yan to do the country a favor, I ended up being branded as a sinner. Meanwhile, Chen Jiuzhou and the others are hailed as heroes. In that case, there's no need for me to risk my life saving these foolish cretins.

Just as he ended his sentence, he spun on his heel and attempted to escape at full speed.

Upon seeing that, Chen Jiuzhou raised his sword, eager to pursue Ye Fan. “You're not getting away that easily!”

However, Moryana stopped him.

“He intruded upon our base, Master! Why are you preventing me from pursuing him? If we let him go now, he'll become a problem in the future. Since he tried to destroy the Dragon Gate today, he'll attempt to put an end to the project in the future!” Chen Jiuzhou questioned furiously.

In response, Mu Zihua calmly explained, “Because even if you catch up to him, you won't be able to stop him. Leave him to me.”

She lifted her head and turned her sight in the direction Ye Fan left. Since there was no ill will between Ye Fan and me, I wouldn't have had any reason to hurt him if he had stayed in Jiangdong. However, now that he aims to destroy Dragon Gate and it doesn't seem like he'll stop until he achieves his goal, I've no choice but to put him down.

Since his master had spoken, Chen Jiuzhou didn't have much else to say. “You're going to kill him yourself, Master? That's just letting him off too easily!” She's right. Ye Fan's about as powerful as me, so a scuffle between us will last quite a while before a victor is decided. Dragon Gate Project is an urgent matter, so he must be dealt with quickly. In that case, Master is undoubtedly the best choice to bear that responsibility!

It was as though Chen Jiuzhou was looking at a corpse as he stared at Ye Fan. You die today, Chu Tianfan. It's a shame I won't be the one to kill you.

Moryana reacted similarly because she was confident she could kill Chu Tianfan handily.

“Observe closely, Jiuzhou. I'll only show you my technique, Millenary Threads, once. Watch how I manipulate aura like they're threads to kill targets kilometers away,” uttered Mu Zihua serenely, as though killing Ye Fan was a piece of cake.

In the next moment, she lifted her fair hand.

An invisible force rapidly gathered beneath her palm before she waved her hand.

When she did, strands of white light, as though they were millions of threads, chased after Ye Fan.

From a distance, they looked like arrows zooming through the air.

As they moved exceedingly fast, it was not long before they caught up to Ye Fan.

Astonished, Chen Jiuzhou remarked, “Incredible! So, it's a technique capable of eliminating a target remotely by shaping aura into sharp threads. I'm in awe of your cultivation, Master!”

“That's enough. You should spend more time learning than flattering me. Go and collect Ye Fan's corpse.” Confidently, Moryana waved her hand, turned around, and prepared to leave.

She didn't feel the need to keep watching because she was sure the outcome had been decided the moment she unleashed her attack.

Based on what she knew of Ye Fan's strength, she was certain he couldn't defend himself against her Millenary Threads.

However, just as she turned around, Chen Jiuzhou called out to her, “Look, Master! Quickly!”

“I don't need to. Just collect his corpse. Don't let it dirty the holy land of China's martial arts world,” Moryana calmly ordered.

Grimacing intensely, he urged again, “Master, you have to look! Quick! Otherwise, it'll be too late!”

When she finally turned her head, she saw Ye Fan riding on something that moved as fast as lightning.

By then, he was already hundreds of kilometers away from them.

The threads she shot out earlier couldn't catch up to their target at all.

In fact, the threads were lagging so far behind that they lost sight of their target and vanished into thin air.

Sword Saint voiced his confusion, “Why is he doing this, though?”

That question sent King of Fighters deep into his thoughts.

He gazed at the black, unnerving Dragon Gate before turning his sight in the direction Chen Jiuzhou, as well as Moryana, left. Anxiety and unease bubbled in his heart. Why did Ye Fan try so hard to destroy the Dragon Gate? Is there something wrong with it? Was he telling the truth when he said he did it for the sake of the world?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt bothered.

He started to wonder if he should trust Ye Fan or not.

Meanwhile, after Ye Fan left Mount Yan, he rode all the way to Jiangdong on Blackie.

Soon, he reached the Chu residence and saw Angie sitting on the entrance steps in a green dress.

Bathing in the evening sunlight, she looked gorgeous, like a model in a stunning painting.

Upon hearing the commotion, she stood and shouted joyously, “You're back, Ye Fan!”

As she sprinted toward him, she forgot about the stairs below her, missed a step, and fell.

“Be careful!” Shocked, Ye Fan expeditiously leaped from Blackie's back and caught her in his arms.

He reprimanded, “What are you doing running like that? What if you fell?”

In response, Angie smiled delightfully and muttered, “I'm not afraid because I know you'd catch me.”
