A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

That was an enchantingly beautiful figure. She held a long sword in her hand and walked leisurely on the celestial steps. The moment they saw this person, people from all around the world, who were originally cheering for their victory, suddenly fell silent.

All the laughter came to an abrupt halt at that moment. Worry and despair, once again, surged through the hearts of everyone who cared about Ye Fan. Of course, it wasn't just these people. Even Ye Fan, who had previously felt relieved due to his victory, felt a mix of shock and bitterness upon seeing the beautiful figure that appeared before him.

Perhaps, this is fate. It's fate that I'm destined to perish.

"Hahaha... Chu Tianfan, bet you didn't expect this. Do you really think that by killing your brother, you've truly defeated me? I'm telling you, not yet. This woman is my last trump card. Even if you had seriously injured her before, your injuries at this moment should be much more severe than hers, right? Now, a casual swing of my sword is beyond your ability to withstand."

The beautiful figure before him suddenly burst into laughter. Ye Fan knew clearly that this was the soul of Symborsus, and it had attached itself to the woman before him. This woman was none other than Ye Fan's Junie.

She was the supreme deity of Japan, Tsukuyomi Tenshin. Indeed, no one had expected that the Moon God would appear after Ye Fan successfully defeated Chu Qitian, won the final battle, exhausted all his strength, and after Chu Qitian was nailed to the peak of Kransbay.

"It's over. It's really over. After the intense battle just now, Ye Fan has already exhausted his physical strength. At this point, he has been pushed to his absolute limit. He no longer has the strength to fight anyone else." Ye Qingtian was filled with despair. Aaron and Carlo also shared the same sentiment.

"D*mn it! We actually forgot about her. After Ye Fan injured her, we should have taken the opportunity to kill her. In that case, there wouldn't be such an accident."

Aaron and the others were filled with regret. As the saying went, one could easily fail at the last hurdle. Ye Fan had given his all to achieve this situation. However, the once-promising situation had been completely ruined. Even Aaron and the others felt a deep sense of regret for Ye Fan. The reality was just as what they said. After defeating Chu Qitian, Ye Fan had already reached his limits.

Even standing up was using almost all of his strength. Not to mention, Moon God was the person closest to the god realm. At this moment, even a Grandmaster would be enough to shatter all of Ye Fan's defenses. It was precisely because Symborsus had seen Ye Fan's condition that it was acting so arrogantly and unrestrained. The death of Chu Qitian was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Symborsus. It dragged its tattered soul and clung to the Moon God once again.

Of course, at this moment, due to the damage to its soul, Symborsus could not achieve the same level of deep integration as it had with Chu Qitian. However, it didn't matter. It had already placed a spirit seal on the Moon God. With just a thought, Symborsus could easily control Moon God. Clearly, this final trump card of Symborsus was lethal for Ye Fan.

Not to mention, he no longer had the strength to endure another fierce battle. Even if he could, he simply couldn't bring himself to kill Junie. This time, Symborsus had truly found Ye Fan's weak spot.

"You are really despicable..." Facing the arrogance of Symborsus, Ye Fan leaned on his sword, struggling to stand there. He gritted his teeth, glaring at the figure before him. His deep pupils were now filled with nothing but rage. He was not afraid of strong enemies, but what he found most difficult to accept was that these people targeted his loved ones.

At this moment, Ye Fan couldn't help but want to peel off the skin of Symborsus and pull out its tendons. Unfortunately, even if his heart was willing, his strength was gone.

"Haha... Chu Tianfan, since ancient times, the winner takes it all. Who cares about the means used as long as the goal is achieved? Don't worry. After you pass away, I will build a tomb for you. After all, even your ancestor, Chu Yunyang, only managed to defeat me once. And yet, you've managed to defeat me twice. For this very reason, you are worthy of having me build a tomb for you!"

Symborsus laughed wildly. It was because all of this was already under its control. As for Ye Fan, even if the strength he had previously displayed was strong, at this point, he was like a slap of meat on the chopping board.

"Alright, I won't waste any more time with you. After I kill you, I'll need this woman's help to open Sky Gate. Once the Sky Gate opens, I shall gain immense power. When the time comes, I shall be reborn anew Behold, you mere mortals, prepare to bow and tremble under the might of my power." Symborsus laughed triumphantly. Then, without wasting any more time, it immediately ordered the Moon God to take action. In this way, Ye Fan watched with wide eyes as Eigetsu picked up the long sword and aimed it at him. When the Moon God pointed at Ye Fan, she seemed to have regained consciousness. However, the commands given to her by Symborsus through the spirit seal were almost impossible to defy. Even so, the Moon God still looked coldly at Ye Fan.

"I told you to leave earlier. Why didn't you? You wouldn't die here if you heed my words and leave Kransbay."

The words of the Moon God were icy cold, making it impossible to discern any emotions within her. It was as cold as if it contained the chill of the iceberg. Ye Fan shook his head at her. "Eigetsu, all these years, when have I ever backed down? Go ahead and make a move on me. Don't worry. I won't blame you. I know this is not your intention." Ye Fan laughed bitterly.

He could tell that even though the Moon God had been manipulated by Symborsus, in her subconscious, she obviously still cared about him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have repeatedly advised him to leave Mount Kransbay. However, this faint thought of hers was far from enough to resist the command of Symborsus. Even after her soul was controlled, she still remembered him. Ye Fan was already content that Eigetsu cared about him.

"Sorry, I don't want to kill you. However, it's difficult for me to disobey my master's command. If you want to survive, defeat me." The Moon God gazed at Ye Fan, her cold and indifferent face showing no joy or

sorrow.

Then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Moon God raised her long sword and fiercely thrust it toward Ye Fan. Even though Ye Fan had almost reached his limits, a lean camel is still stronger than a horse. Hence, the Moon God took action without showing any mercy this time. The fierce sword techniques dazzled the horizon. The icy longsword furiously slashed through the vast sky.

"Can he still hold her off?" As the Moon God took action, the hearts of many people tightened with anxiety. Everyone was hoping that the remaining power of Ye Fan would be enough to fight the Moon God. After all, the Moon God was not as powerful as Chu Qitian.

She was already injured by Ye Fan, and her strength was not as great as the previous Symborsus. In addition, she was exhausted from walking on Celestial Road. Perhaps with a bit more effort, Ye Fan could defeat the Moon God as well.

However, just when everyone thought Ye Fan would go all in and make a final struggle, something unexpected happened. The Moon God's sword, astonishingly, pierced through Ye Fan's defense without any hindrance. The blade pierced into his chest. The long sword pierced the body, and the blood spurted out. The crimson sword's edge pierced through Ye Fan's back, emerging on the other side. The fresh blood trickled down from his mouth, like a gentle stream.

"Ye Fan!"

"Dad!"

"Dragon Master" The moment Ye Fan's chest was pierced, at this instant, countless people were overwhelmed with grief and tears. Ye Qingtian's eyes also turned red immediately. Even the Moon God herself, initially with a face as cold as frost, showed a hint of astonishment and panic.

"You... you... Why didn't you block it?"
