A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 2278

In the land of Kransbay, the mountains and rivers were shattered, with ravines scattered everywhere. Crimson blood dripped incessantly down the broken rocks. The wailing of Moryana and the others continued. Half of Emir's remaining body twitched amidst the ruins. The crimson that covered the ground resembled a hellish purgatory where demons were judged. It was indeed a horrifying sight! After dealing with The Great Four, Ye Fan's target once again turned toward the peak of the horizon - Chu Qitian! The current Chu Qitian could be said to have lost consciousness long ago.

All that remained was a body. Every word and action of his was completely controlled by Symborsus. Earlier, the battle at the foot of the mountain was incredibly intense. However, it did not attract Chu Qitian's attention in the slightest. His entire focus was on the Sky Gate towering above his head. As for the life and death of Feng Hou and the others, they no longer mattered to Chu Qitian.

They were merely pawns and sacrifices. If they died, they died. As long as he could open Sky Gate, as long as he could regain a new life, as long as he could acquire power once more. Compared to those, nothing else mattered. At that moment, Chu Qitian was slowly climbing along Celestial Road.

The immense pressure on Celestial Road, even for Chu Qitian, remained overwhelming. It felt like carrying a mountain on one's shoulders. The immense weight made every step difficult and arduous. After witnessing that scene, Ye Fan no longer dared to hesitate. He immediately stepped onto the horizon and flew straight towards the summit of Kransbay.

“Chu Tianfan, what do you intend to do? If you dare to hinder my master from opening Sky Gate, he will surely tear you to pieces!” Chen Jiuzhou's angry voice resounded from beneath Ye Fan's feet. It must be said that these individuals' loyalty to Symborsus was genuinely evident and unwavering. Even though he knew he was no match for Ye Fan and had witnessed his formidable reputation firsthand, Chen Jiuzhou still stood up to block Ye Fan when he saw the latter rushing toward Sky Gate.

In response, Ye Fan did not even bother to glance at Chen Jiuzhou. He simply wielded the Sword of Yunyang and casually swung it. A single stroke of sword energy effortlessly pierced through thousands of meters, descending with great wrath. Chen Jiuzhou, upon seeing that, was filled with despair.

“No! How dare you end my life? Master, save me!” Chen Jiuzhou, at the foot of the mountain, wailed in despair. He even pleaded for Chu Qitian to save his life. However, Chen Jiuzhou was now nothing more than a useless person. Who would care about him?

And so, Chen Jiuzhou could only watch helplessly as the sword light unleashed by Ye Fan fell upon him, instantly engulfing his battered body.

Boom!

A resounding explosion followed. The mountain rocks shattered, leaving a majestic chasm on the ground where the Sword of Yunyang's energy swept through. With that, Chen Jiuzhou's body was cleaved in half under the strike of that sword.

At that point, the Hall Master of China's War God Castle met his complete demise and vanished forever from this world. Ye Qingtian and the others who witnessed that scene unconsciously gulped in fear. After all, no one had expected that Chen Jiuzhou, who held absolute dominance in China's martial arts world just a few days ago, would meet such a sudden end. Ye Fan's ruthlessness once again made Ye Qingtian and the others tremble with fear.

“War God, t-this Supreme of China... W-What does he want to do?”

“Sky Gate has already appeared, and the grand formation has been activated.”

“Yet at this moment, he's unleashing a bloodbath.”

“Could it be that he wants to replace Symborsus?”

“He wants to obtain Symborsus' power and then seek massacre and vengeance upon this world?” Aaron and Carlo had already begun to doubt Ye Fan's motives. Especially after witnessing Ye Fan's brutal behavior just now, they could not help but doubt who was the greater evil between Ye Fan and Symborsus. The answer to this question was undoubtedly unclear even to Ye Qingtian himself. But, of course, there were many other things that Ye Qingtian did not understand. For instance, why did Ye Fan suddenly become so powerful?

Is this the legendary Celestial Road?

Suddenly, Ye Fan recalled the records in the Book of Celestial Cloud. At the summit of Kransbay, there once was a Celestial Road that led straight to the Immortal Court. Yet it had never been opened by anyone.

Even back then, Ye Fan's ancestor and ancient master, Chu Yunyang, failed to open it. Ye Fan did not know if he could create a miracle, becoming the first human to knock on Sky Gate. After pausing for a moment, Ye Fan took a deep breath. Then he lifted his foot and stepped onto the first celestial stairway.

He was focused the moment he stepped on the celestial stairway, and his eyes showed a resolute determination. For Angie's sake, Ye Fan must catch up to Symborsus ahead and be the first to reach the pinnacle of Celestial Road! However, just as Ye Fan was about to muster his courage and charge up Celestial Road, a sound of breaking wind suddenly came from behind him. That immense sense of danger made Ye Fan's hair stand on end. Almost in an instant, the scent of death enveloped his entire being!

D*mn it! Could there be someone else?

Startled, Ye Fan, in his moment of panic, no longer cared about climbing Celestial Road. He turned around and took several steps back.

Swish!

Just as Ye Fan retreated, a dazzling rainbow sword light slashed toward the spot where he had stood moments ago. In the midst of a loud rumble, the sword actually cleaved off half a meter of the peak of Mount Kransbay. The rolling boulders burst forth as if a meteor shower had just occurred. If it had been a second later, the shattered boulder would likely have been Ye Fan's fate and outcome at that very moment.
