A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

"No!"

"Absolutely impossible!" Chen Jiuzhou was on the verge of insanity. He looked at everything before him in disbelief. He could not believe how all seventy-nine supreme grandmasters could not stop a single sword strike from Ye Fan. Ye Fan's strength undoubtedly far exceeded Chen Jiuzhou's understanding. Ye Qingtian was also completely stunned. Initially filled with worry, his face now only showed endless astonishment.

"D-Did he really win?"

Ye Qingtian felt he could no longer use words to describe his emotions. The shock and impact were far more intense than the joy and excitement. Before this, no one could have imagined that Ye Fan would actually single-handedly defeat all Supremes with his own strength. Indeed. The official organization had mobilized almost all supreme grandmasters in the world here. With a single stroke of his sword, Ye Fan had slain half of them.

"T-That freak!" Aaron and Carlo were both completely dumbfounded. Originally, they thought Ye Fan was undoubtedly destined to die in this battle. As the outcome appeared in their eyes, along with the bloody corpses, the two were proven wrong and humiliated. Forty-nine Supremes encircled Ye Fan with full force.

In the end, they were directly blasted by Ye Fan's thunderous force. He was truly worthy of being called Hall Master Chu. As expected of the Unrivalled Supreme.

"He's a miracle! A one-of-a-kind!" Carlo and Aaron, with a mix of laughter and tears, dragged their injured bodies as they shouted. After Ye Fan broke through the encirclement of these people, he took a step forward and continued ahead. Finally, he stopped right in front of Chen Jiuzhou.

"W-What do you want?"

"I am the Hall Master of China! How dare you try to kill me? My teacher and master, neither of them will let you off the hook!"

Looking at Ye Fan's cold face, Chen Jiuzhou could not help but tremble, his feet continuously stepping backward. Ye Fan was in no hurry either. Like a cat catching a mouse, he slowly followed after Chen Jiuzhou.

"You b*stard! Go to hell!"

In a moment of despair, Chen Jiuzhou took something out and threw it at Ye Fan fiercely. Boom! Suddenly, there was a loud boom. Something exploded on Ye Fan's body, sending dust soaring into the sky. Clenching his jaw, Chen Jiuzhou used this opportunity and managed to escape several hundred meters away.

"Just you wait and see, Chu Tianfan! Don't think you're invincible just became you defeated those useless Supremes! My teacher, Odin, and other Empyrean Ranking elites are on Mount Kransbay. My master is also there, too. You can't escape. Mount Kransbay will be your burial ground!"

Chen Jiuzhou clenched his teeth and yelled. Then, clutching the wound, he fled toward Mount Kransbay like a madman. Ye Fan did not go after him. In his eyes, Chen Jiuzhou was merely an insignificant minor character. Crushing Chen Jiuzhou was as simple as crushing an ant to the current Ye Fan.

He no longer considered Chen Jiuzhou a worthy opponent. Ye Fan came to Mount Kransbay not to kill a few insignificant ants. Rather, he was here to pursue the great undertaking of sainthood. "Wan'er said the Symborsus have been plotting to advance the Sky Gate trial, all for the ultimate purpose of sacrificing those martial artists to activate the Sky Gate Formation and open the Sky Gate." Ye Fan added, "With the power of the Sky Gate, I might be able to obtain the strength to enter the god realm. Once I enter the god realm, I will possess the power to breathe new life into nature and bring the dead back to life. When the time comes, Angie's illness can be completely cured."

With this thought, Ye Fan raise his head and looked to the peak of Kransbay. The formation was still ongoing there. The altars in five directions continued to provide a steady stream of power to the figure in red at the peak of Mount Kransbay. The sixth Sky Gate was already half opened and continued to slowly open further. It seemed the Sky Gate formation was not over yet. In that case, Ye Fan did not delve any deeper but stopped right there. Just like that, he quietly watched the Sky Gate Formation continue to evolve.

"Hall Master Chu, don't just stand there."

"Hurry!"

"Climb Mount Kransbay quickly!"

"Stop the formation from continuing!"

"Only by destroying the formation can we thwart their schemes and save this world."

"Hall Master Chu, hurry up!"

"Quickly ascend Kransbay!"

"The fate of this world is entirely in your hands!" At that moment, Ye Fan stopped in his tracks. He simply stood quietly, watching the formation carry on. Aaron, Carlo, and the others could not help but feel anxious, burning with impatience.

They constantly urged Ye Fan to quickly head to Mount Kransbay and stop the impending catastrophe. Yet, Ye Fan turned a deaf ear to their words, ignoring them throughout the entire process. From beginning to end, Ye Fan did not even glance at them once. Just then, several Supremes who were previously injured by Ye Fan managed to get back on their feet, and they charged toward Ye Fan to attack him. Someone was clearly controlling their minds. They were like lifeless zombies, mechanically carrying out orders.

"Shelley, wake up!"

"I'm Carlo."

"Wake up. Don't let others control you anymore." Carlo recognized a few among the ones who stood up and were charging toward Ye Fan. To his astonishment, one of them was his close friend of many years, Shelley.

He was a leader and a powerful figure in northern Epea. As for the Supreme called Shelley, both Aaron and Ye Qingtian knew him and had some friendly relations with him. However, they never expected that even Shelley would fall victim to the sinister plot. Naturally, Shelley would not pay attention to Carlo and their words. He only had one objective — to kill Ye Fan.

"Get lost!" With a wave of his sleeve, Ye Fan effortlessly dealt with those losers. Shelley coughed up blood and was sent flying. "Please have mercy, the Unrivalled Supreme."

"These individuals were once the leaders and elites of the martial arts world. They all strived to make a contribution to this world."

"Right now, they're just temporarily controlled by the wicked, but they will surely regain clarity in the future."

"So, please show mercy, the Unrivalled Supreme. Don't harm their lives." Carlo and Aaron both expressed their concerns and tried to persuade Ye Fan. They were also afraid Ye Fan might not hold back his strength, accidentally killing their former comrades and partners.

"Yes, these people have all made contributions to the world of martial arts. Let's show them some leniency and not endanger their lives." Ye Qingtian also advised from the side. His best friends, the King of Fighters and the Sword Saint were among them. Just now, Ye Fan killed nearly twenty Supremes with a single sword strike. Fortunately, the King of Fighters or Sword Saint was not one of them. Both of them were severely injured as they lay in a pool of blood. They were not dead but were merely hanging on by a thread. While Aaron and the others were trying to dissuade Ye Fan, Shelley and a few others unexpectedly stood up and charged toward Ye Fan.

This time, Ye Fan swung his sword and slashed. The three supreme grandmasters, led by Xue Lei, were cut in half and died on the spot. Crimson blood splattered all over Aaron's and the others' faces. "Y-You..." Aaron and Carlo were both dumbfounded. Ye Qingtian's face was extremely pale. They never expected that Ye Fan would swiftly and decisively end Xue Lai's life right after they had just persuaded Ye Fan.

"Shelley!" Carlo cried out in anguish, finally turning to Ye Fan with a puzzled look.

"Chu Tianfan, have you gone mad?"

"Don't you know they're victims too?"

"They are innocent!"

"They were just being manipulated. Why did you have to kill them?" Carlo's eyes turned red. Ye Fan still ignored them. Ye Qingtian sighed.

"At this point, there's no need for further words. Ye Fan was just trying to protect himself, so we can't blame him entirely. Right now, the most important thing is to hurry to Mount Kransbay and stop the Sky Gate Formation," Ye Qingtian persuaded them. Aaron and Carlo knew to prioritize the overall situation, so they suppressed their grief and once again urged Ye Fan to ascend Mount Kransbay.

"Otherwise, the martial arts world would truly be finished."

"Countless people will be plunged into misery." Aaron, Carlo, and the others continuously persuaded with scorching eyes.

"You're annoying!" With a stern shout, Ye Fan swung his hand back and slapped both of their faces. Aaron and Carlo coughed up blood and were sent flying far away.
