A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! I, Symborsus, am invincible..." At the peak of Kransbay, Symborsus' roar echoed incessantly. Amidst Symborsus' hoarse and desperate roar, Ye Fan's attacks had long severed Symborsus's Hell's Heaven Seal. Under Ye Fan's relentless assault, all the reliance crumbled and fell apart. After breaking through Symborsus' attacks, the golden light surged forward with undiminished momentum, sweeping toward Symborsus' direction.

Boom!

As the golden pillar of light descended, it seemed as if thunder had struck from the heavens.

Its speed was astonishing, like lightning, swift and radiant. Symborsus didn't have time to react at all, as the terrifying attack struck him mercilessly, hitting him head-on. Just moments ago, Symborsus, who was still confident and assured, now found himself engulfed in a sea of resounding, desperate screams, vanishing within the vast expanse of radiant light.

Rumble...

The horrifying power continued to spread and sweep across the surroundings. The earth beneath incessantly trembled and shattered. The immense power, like mountains and seas, surged overwhelmingly, filling the entire expanse of the void with tumultuous energy.

For a moment, the entire Mount Kransbay seemed to be swept up in a world-ending storm. Ye Qingtian and the others had already fled several kilometers away, but the emanating power continued to pound them like heavy hammers, relentlessly striking their bodies. Merely the residual force caused Ye Qingtian and the other supreme grandmaster to spew blood instantly.

War God and the others couldn't even fathom the terrifying power at the center of the storm.

Fuu...

In the depths of Mount Kransbay, the violent gale continued to howl relentlessly. It seemed as if it would never cease, persisting endlessly. The swirling snow and wind it carried resembled the scattering of paper money at a funeral. At that moment, everyone knew that after this battle, an unparalleled powerhouse in this world would cease to exist. In such a state of collapse, War God and the others had no idea how long the raging storm had lasted. Finally, as the last snowflake descended, everything returned to tranquility once again. The battle had come to an end.

After the great battle, Mount Kransbay appeared eerily silent, as if in a state of lifeless stillness. In this forbidden zone of life, not even a single sound of a bird could be heard. The flow of time seemed to have completely halted at this very moment. Before their eyes, there remained only a vast expanse of crisscrossing ravines. Even the main peak of Mount Kransbay had been vertically split open from the middle. It resembled a divine sword piercing through the earth!

"This... this..." Ye Qingtian and the others were so astonished that they were left speechless. In this world, there were always phenomena that were too awe-inspiring to be expressed in words, just like the scene before their eyes.

Ye Qingtian, despite having exhausted all his knowledge and experiences, felt that he couldn't possibly convey the trembling sensation he experienced at this moment. It was too terrifying, simply too terrifying. It was a force that rivaled the overwhelming power of nature itself. They couldn't even fathom that human power could reach such an extraordinary level. It had transformed mountains and rivers into ravines, and turned seemingly insurmountable barriers into accessible pathways! However, now was not the time to be amazed by this. Ye Qingtian and the others, who had emerged from the ruins, quickly lifted their heads and looked ahead Celestial Road.

"Is it... over? Who... who emerged victorious in the end?" With a mixture of nervousness and uncertainty, Ye Qingtian and the others looked around anxiously.

At this moment, not only them but people from all around the world were watching this final outcome with bated breath. Everyone was eager to know whether it would be Chu Tianfan, the Dragon God Hall Master, who would have the last laugh, or if the extraterrestrial being, Symborsus would emerge as the ultimate victor.

Plop.

As everyone focused on the outcome, the sound of dripping blood quietly emanated from Celestial Road. There, two figures stood tall, undeterred. Ye Fan had a pale complexion, and his aura was fluctuating and unstable. Just standing there, he felt exhausted, gasping for breath in large gulps. He seemed like a candle flame in the wind, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.

On the other side, Symborsus stood tall, his body still upright. However, the scales on Symborsus's body had been completely damaged and shattered. A majestic penetrating wound ran through Symborsus's chest, piercing through his entire torso. Crimson blood incessantly flowed down along this terrifying and formidable wound. Chu Qitian lowered his head, gazing at the wound on his chest, his face filled with disbelief.

"How... how could this happen? I... I couldn't have possibly failed. How... how could I fail..."

Symborsus trembled as he spoke, his voice low but filled with unwillingness and regret. A thousand years.

For a thousand years, it endured and waited. Finally, it had waited for this moment of resurfacing into the world. However, Symborsus never could have imagined that it would end up like this in the end. "Hahaha... hahahaha..." Symborsus burst into laughter, wailing toward the sky. The mournful cry seemed to transcend the ages, echoing through eternity. The bone-piercing sorrow moved the hearts of all people in the world. Those who were detestable often had pitiable aspects as well. Even though Symborsus had committed numerous wrongdoings, in the end, it was all in pursuit of regaining its freedom. It simply didn't want to be imprisoned anymore, it just wanted to live with dignity. Symborsus hadn't done anything wrong. However, fate constantly obstructed Symborsus, time and again, thwarting its attempts and delivering blow after blow. And now, once again, it had been defeated at the hands of Ye Fan. At this moment, Symborsus appeared to be both crying and smiling.

Two streams of bloody tears flowed from its eyes. Meanwhile, Ye Fan, unaware of when it happened, had already summoned back Sword of Yunyang. He plunged the sword into the ground, using his hand to support himself, barely managing to sustain his own body without collapsing. With indifferent eyes, Ye Fan looked at Chu Qitian in front of him.

"Qitian, it's over." There was no joy, no delight in Ye Fan's words.

As Ye Fan looked at Chu Qitian with his chest pierced, an inexplicable sorrow filled Ye Fan's heart. Ye Fan knew that within this body resided the soul of a demon. However, to the naked eye, standing before Ye Fan was still Chu Qitian, Ye Fan's cousin. Blood ties and kinship were not something that could be easily severed. Upon seeing his brother, with whom he had fought a lifetime, now reaching the end of his life, Ye Fan's heart was filled with an indescribable sadness and heaviness. Perhaps, this was the world of adults. Even though it was painful, still, Symborsus must be eliminated.

"Qitian, rest in peace. After your death, I will remove Angie's Jade Eyes and return them to her. As for you, I will keep your body intact. You will be buried in the ancestral land of the Chu family. This is my final act of kindness to you as your brother." Ye Fan murmured.

At the peak of Kransbay, the cold wind blew. The howling wind echoed like a farewell to the departed at a funeral. After the life-and-death battle, Ye Fan's gaze revealed a touch of gentleness and compassion. No matter how wicked Chu Qitian was, he was still Ye Fan's younger brother. With a heavy heart, Ye Fan swung his sword silently and pierced Chu Qitian, nailing him to the peak of Kransbay.

"It's over," someone muttered.

"We won!" another one exclaimed.

"Ye Fan, he won!" a guy shouted in joy, raising his hand high.

At the moment when the longsword pierced through Chu Qitian's throat, countless people were moved to tears with excitement. On the rampart of Yanjing, Xu Lei couldn't help but sob uncontrollably. Her reddened eyes were swollen, but her heart was filled with uncontainable joy. Tang Yun and Grand Old Lady Chu, in the Chu residence, couldn't help but burst into tears.

"He did it! He actually did it!" Tang Yun hugged Chu Lin tightly, trembling and tearfully saying, "Lin, do you see? He is your dad. You should be proud to have such a great dad..." "Hahaha... he won! Junie, Ye Fan has won!" In the land of India, Noa was overjoyed, exclaiming and leaping like a sparrow in June.

At this moment, people all around the world were celebrating. Lei San was filled with mixed emotions, while Chen Ao was overwhelmed with excitement, tears streaming down his face. Chen Nan and He Yurou embraced each other in excitement.

The crisis seemed to have come to a complete end. The battle concluded with Ye Fan's hard-fought victory. However, amidst everyone's excitement, beneath Celestial Road, a figure holding a sword quietly emerged.
