A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

"Originally, this formation was created for your ancestor, Chu Yunyang. Now, it seems now I can only test the waters with you first. Chu Tianfan, be proud of dying under this move."

Symborsus shook his head as it spoke. Amidst his roaring laughter, his face was filled with confidence and arrogance. In his eyes, it seemed the battle had ended before it even began. Standing before him, Ye Fan was but a corpse. However, Ye Fan remained unmoving at his words. On his delicate face lay a touch of serene and indifferent calmness.

Upon hearing the end, Ye Fan could not help but respond impatiently, "Don't you think you're talking a bit too much? Have you ever heard that villains always die from talking too much? Since you have so much nonsense, it seems you'll die here today." Ye Fan chuckled. Symborsus was enraged.

"You despicable human! even as death approaches, you still have the nerve to spout such nonsense at me? Excellent! Since you're so eager to die, then I shall grant your wish!"

Symborsus was now completely enraged. He had just said those words to show off his skills and wanted to see the terrified and panicked expression on Ye Fan's face simultaneously. However, Symborsus realized he was preaching to preach to deaf ears after speaking for so long.

This brat doesn't even know my true strength, and he dares speak of such nonsense, like villains dying from talking too much. Forget it! I can't be bothered wasting any more words on him. Since he's so eager to die, I'll grant him his death!

In a fit of rage, Symborsus raised his arms toward the sky. Then, he extended a finger into the oceanic abyss and gently pressed it toward where Ye Fan was. At the same time, a thunderous roar, akin to a clap of thunder, resounded throughout the heavens.

"Asura's Finger!"

Whoosh!

The giant finger reached for the sky, and a blood-red aura surged. The moment Symborsus' finger fell, everyone saw a dazzling light erupting from the blood-red wheel beneath his feet. Countless elemental forces of heaven and earth were deeply stirred by a single finger of Symborsus.

The space-time collapsed and reshaped. The crimson fingertip, carrying the power to annihilate everything, enveloped with the might of nearly the entire universe, ruthlessly pressed down from the peak of the horizon.

The giant Asura finger had not yet fallen. However, the immense pressure caused the entire Kransbay Mountain Range to sink several meters. The heavens crumbled, and the earth shook; the mountains trembled, and the ground quaked. The scene was truly like a hellish realm. Ye Qingtian and the others were completely dumbfounded.

In the depths of their hearts, raging waves of emotions swept wildly.

"I-Is this the power that rivals that of immortals? The power that can reach the heavens? H-How terrifying!" Ye Qingtian cried out in shock.

His sight was filled with fear and shock. He could not help but tremble under the immense and awe-inspiring power. He did not feel fear toward Symborsus. Instead, he was in awe of that power. It was reverence for the power that could destroy all living beings.

His fear came from deep within his heart, which his mind could not control it. Not only Ye Qingtian, but Aaron, Carlo, and the others were also deeply shocked. Swordsmen and King of Fighters alike knelt on the ground like devout believers, chanting their master's sacred name. The entire Kransbay Mountain seemed like a grand sacrificial ceremony. The sacrifice was the entire universe. Symborsus was the god that people worshipped.

"That's too terrifying!"

"Is that even human?"

"How can there be such incredible strength?" Symborsus' attack could be seen by nearly half the world's population.

They gazed from afar at the enormous blood-red finger that seemed to cover the sky. From a distance, it appeared like a fallen pillar of heaven. No one could believe that such an attack could be executed by a human.

"He must be an immortal descended from the heavens."

"It must be because of that scumbag fooling around with women that he has angered the heavens!"

The whole world was set abuzz. Countless streets and alleys in numerous cities were in an uproar. Some were terrified, some surrendered, and some knelt in worship. The so-called myriad aspects of life were nothing more than this. Just as everyone trembled at the might of this Symborsus' attack, he followed up with another palm strike after the finger, swiftly striking down.

"Devil's Palm!"

Boom!

Like a thunderbolt piercing through the heavens and earth, it resembled a divine spear aimed straight at the heart of the sky. After the Asura's Finger, an even more terrifying attack thunderously descended. From a distance, it looked as if a piece of the sky had collapsed. The collapsed heavens and earth fiercely smashed toward Ye Fan's direction.

"T-This..."

"D*mn Symborsus!"

"He made a second strike?"

"How could this be possible?"

The warriors beneath Mount Kransbay were utterly dumbfounded. Everyone was almost trembling with madness. They had initially thought the Asura Finger was already Symborsus' strongest trump card. Unexpectedly, the following Devil's Palm was even more powerful, and its momentum was even more terrifying.

"He's insane!"

"Is this really a creature that exists in the human world?"

"This is simply beyond human reach!" Aaron and Carlo were almost scared to the point of wetting themselves. After Symborsus' attacks, the overwhelming power that emanated from him caused blood to gush from their mouths and noses. They could not even begin to imagine the kind of chaos Ye Fan was facing in the center of the storm.

"He's too powerful."

"There's absolutely no chance of winning."

"Let's run."

"Ye Qingtian, please tell Ye Fan to run quickly."

"He's going to die here," Aaron said anxiously. Carlo also tried to persuade fearfully. They urged Ye Fan to run as fast as he could, insisting there was no need to wait for death there. However, Ye Fan, who was at the heart of the storm, could no longer hear the clamor from the outside world. At this moment, all that remained in his eyes was the terrifying power that enveloped the sky and earth. All he could hear were the sinister laughter and unrestrained malice of Symborsus.

His heart was still like water. He had never felt such calmness. This was unprecedented. Yet, he was confused why he felt no fear. Instead, he had never experienced such excitement. Faced with the increasingly imminent terrifying attack, Ye Fan did not attempt to dodge or respond. Rather, he slowly closed his eyes at the moment.

"Hahaha... Have you closed your eyes to prepare for death, brat? It would have been great to realize this sooner. Well, that saves me a lot of trouble." The die is cast. There's no turning back. Brat, open your arms wide and embrace your death. Hahaha...”

The Symborsus laughed triumphantly. That hearty laughter echoed endlessly. At this moment, the Asura Finger had already reached Ye Fan's face. Just as Symborsus thought Ye Fan would be crushed into pieces by Asura's Finger in the next moment, Ye Fan suddenly opened his eyes. An unprecedented solemnity flashed through his pupils. In the brief moment when he closed his eyes, Ye Fan seemed to see the scene from a thousand years ago, where his ancestor Chu Yunyang fought against the heavens, the earth, and the myriad races of the universe.

Now, a thousand years had passed. Chu Yunyang had long since become a legend. Now was his time. It was Chu Tianfan's era.

"Invoke the Celestial Cloud. First Form, Cloud Sun Kick!"

The moment his voice sounded, it was as if a light shone upon the dark land. That ethereal voice transcended through the ages, and the vast wilderness, and resonated across the entire world. In that fleeting moment, The Grand Old Lady of the Chu family seemed to see a majestic figure from a thousand years ago, spanning across the vast sky.

In just a brief moment, The Grand Old Lady was in tears.

"Do you see this, Mr. Yunyang? Your descendant, just like you, is doing his best to hold up this world."
