A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

After all, the outcome could no longer be altered.

Rather than wasting away there, it was better to end it sooner.

So that those who were still alive could be spared from further pain and torment.

As Ye Fan faced death with equanimity, the spiritual energy of Symborsus in the mind of Moon God grew increasingly formidable.

Before their very eyes, Moon God's final struggle was on the verge of being devoured by Symborsus' power emanating from the spirit seal.

At last, everyone watched as Moon God once again raised her sword.

"No!"

"Stop right there!"

Beneath Mount Kransbay, the moment they saw Moon God raise her sword again, the hearts of Ye Qingtian and the others instantly turned cold.

Given Ye Fan's current condition, even if no further attacks were made, he would likely bleed to death.

Moon God raised her sword once again, and Ye Fan feared he might no longer be able to withstand that round of attack.

"How could this happen? We clearly won. Why are there still people? Isn't Moon God on the same side as Ye Fan? Why did she have to harm Ye Fan?" In the land of India, witnessing all of this, Noa couldn't help but burst into tears.

Junie, standing to the side, also clenched her fists tightly.

Even though she was well aware that Moon God was now under someone else's control, the latter's action was still unforgivable.

Junie had made up her mind. If Ye Fan truly died by Moon God's sword, she would exhaust all means, even if it meant depleting all the power of her sect, to kill Moon God and avenge Ye Fan.

The situation has taken a nosedive, and many people have already lost hope.

There was no possibility left.

Ye Fan, gravely injured, could only await his fate in the face of Moon God's second sword strike.

Just like that, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Moon God raised her sword, aiming it at Ye Fan's head.

But just when everyone thought that Ye Fan's life was about to come to a complete end, at the moment when Moon God's sword was about to sever Ye Fan's head from his neck, in the next moment, something happened that took everyone by surprise.

Suddenly, the sword that was originally thrust toward Ye Fan unexpectedly turned.

The sharp longsword was unexpectedly pointed at Moon God herself, thrusting fiercely into her chest.

"Eigetsu, no! Don't!"

Everyone was shocked and horrified.

Ye Fan's pupils contracted sharply, his expression dramatically changing.

After all, no one expected that the final choice of Moon God would be like that.

Pfft!

The long sword swept across, piercing through her body.

The delicate and exquisite body of Moon God was pierced in an instant.

The deep crimson blood slowly dripped down the edge of the sword.

Moon God's first strike pierced through her own chest.

Then, she drew out the sword, thrusting it toward her elixir field for the second strike.

A person's elixir field was the place where strength was stored.

Without a doubt, Moon God's action was to disperse her own power and cultivation.

"D*mn it! What are you doing? You fool! Have you lost your mind?" Symborsus, which was attached to the body of Moon God, had completely lost its sanity.

He never would have imagined that this woman would defy his orders in such a way.

"Jerk! Worthless! You fool!" Symborsus raged like thunder, cursing Moon God in madness.

Originally, he had everything all planned out.

Ye Fan was now on the brink of death. A mere flick of Moon God's sword would be enough to end him completely.

After eliminating Ye Fan, Moon God could take a brief rest. Then, she could ascend Celestial Road and open Sky Gate.

But now, Moon God had surprisingly turned the sword on herself.

Her elixir field was destroyed, and her chest pierced through.

Even if this foolish woman doesn't die, she'll be nothing more than a burden. It's simply impossible to help her to help me accomplish anything anymore. "Idiot! Earthlings are all a bunch of idiots. You're all idiots!" Symborsus cursed in anger, roaring almost to the point of madness.

At that point, the plan of Symborsus had undoubtedly come to a complete end, utterly ruined.

Celestial Road, it seemed, was destined to remain unconquered by anyone.

After realizing that all had failed, Symborsus once again escaped from Moon God, transformed into a shadow, vanishing into the darkness of the night.

Moon God no longer held any value for use, and there was no need for it to linger there anymore.

After all, its spiritual body couldn't survive long after leaving the physical body it possessed.

However, before leaving, Symborsus hurled an insult at Ye Fan and Moon God. "You two are idiots who deserve to die!"

Symborsus was beside itself with rage. After a bout of cursing and swearing, it took off.

On Celestial Road, a beautiful woman wearing a bloodstained dress was shedding tears.

The once unparalleled and magnificent Moon God now lay fallen on Celestial Road.

The deep crimson of fresh blood stained her dress.

Her vitality and strength were fading away like flowing water.

"E-Eigetsu, why are you so foolish?" Seeing the state of Moon God before him, Ye Fan felt as if his heart had shattered into pieces.

He walked over with determination, pulling Eigetsu into his embrace.

Even Ye Fan, who had always been so proud and strong, found his eyes blurred by tears at that moment.

His voice trembled, laden with blame and pity.

But Moon God was enjoying her time nestled in his arms. On her pale, pretty face, there was a long-missed smile of happiness. "Master," she said, "I-I can lie in your arms again..." "Fool, stop talking. Stop talking. I'll tend to your wounds. I'll make sure you're healed." Ye Fan said with a sorrowful voice.

He strained to summon his strength, hoping to help Moon God stem her injuries.

However, he had forgotten that he, too, was on the brink of death.

Where could he possibly muster any strength from his nearly depleted body?

In the end, it was all in vain.

"Eigetsu, why? How can you be so foolish? I-I'm already on the brink of death. Why must you also risk your own life?" Ye Fan felt utterly heartbroken.

He understood Moon God's intentions.

If she inflicted a serious injury upon herself, dissipating her strength, even if Symborsus controlled her mind, Moon God simply wouldn't have the power to kill Ye Fan, let alone assist him in his tasks. "M-Master is the one I care about the most. I will never harm you."

"But you can't hurt yourself either!" Ye Fan shouted at her forcefully.

Eigetsu, in his arms, facing Ye Fan's reprimand, just smiled.

She enjoyed seeing the way Ye Fan got angry because of her.

Seeing Ye Fan shed tears for her, Moon God felt an unprecedented sense of happiness and honor in her heart. So it turns out my master does care about me. All these years, I've been constantly missing Ye Fan, but I didn't dare to seek him out.

She knew that Ye Fan was very busy and didn't have time to accompany her.

The only time she could see her master was when Ye Fan was in danger. That gave her an excuse to seek out Ye Fan.

Moreover, being able to help Ye Fan brought her immense joy.

Even now, it remained the same.

Seeing Eigetsu's silly smile, any anger in Ye Fan's heart was, at that moment, completely dispelled.

He laughed too.

At that point, everything had become irreversible.

All one could do was accept it with equanimity.

So, Ye Fan also sat down next to Eigetsu.

He held her waist. She nestled into his shoulder, their bodies covered in wounds, fresh blood seeping from them, just sitting there at the edge of the sky, peacefully gazing at the distant sea of stars, watching the horizon in all its splendor.

"All right. Consider this as a debt I owe you. In the next life, Eigetsu, I will repay you." Ye Fan chuckled softly.

They nestled against each other like a pair of dying lovebirds, sitting together, quietly awaiting the arrival of death. The horizon stretched on endlessly, with specks of starlight scattered throughout.

The two of them were enveloped in an atmosphere that was both tragically grand and dreamlike.

Seeing the affection between the two of them, at that moment, countless people were deeply moved to tears.

There truly existed such sincere emotions in the world, so sincere that they could die together, facing death with calm acceptance.

Ye Fan, in order to alleviate Eigetsu's pain, was willing to fall under her sword.

Moon God would rather destroy her own elixir field and harm her own life than stab Ye Fan with a sword again.

In one's lifetime, if one could encounter someone willing to give one their all, disregarding their own life and death, safety and danger, and unconditionally treating one well, then living one's life would not be in vain.
