A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2051

Upon hearing what King of Fighters said, Ye Qingtian smiled and shook his head before uttering sarcastically, “Indeed, Ye Fan had only been practicing martial arts for a few years. How could he possibly be ranked first in the Sky Ranking? Furthermore, how could he possibly become a supreme grandmaster? Lastly, he couldn't have possibly nearly destroyed Chu Sect on his own, right?”

Consequently, King of Fighters was embarrassed. He could no longer make any doubtful comments after that.

As Ye Qingtian had said, Ye Fan had done countless wonders despite his tender age. Hence, it would be foolish to rule out another incredible feat of his.

King of Fighters and Sword Saint could only keep mum in response.

In the past, Sword Saint and the others had their fair share of conflicts with Ye Fan. When Ye Qingtian mentioned Ye Fan in front of them, it was only natural for them to be reluctant to make further comments.

“All right. We should drop that topic. Chu Sect's defeat is temporary. I think they'll be back in no time. In the meantime, I'll get you guys out of here.” Ye Qingtian knew time was of the essence. Although he had just defeated the martial artists of Chu Sect with Heavenly Palm, he knew those people were only a small part of Chu Sect's strength. Soon, Chu Sect will definitely attack Mount Yan again. If we stay here, we'll surely die. It's best if we leave as soon as possible!

“Leave this place now?”

“If we leave Mount Yan, where should we go?”

King of Fighters and Sword Saint asked puzzledly. Where could Ye Qingtian possibly take us? Chu Sect is wreaking havoc on the whole of China now. Besides, most of the provinces had already fallen.

“If you're planning on taking us abroad, I would rather just stay on Mount Yan,” King of Fighters uttered stubbornly.

Sword Saint wasn't keen on fleeing the country as well.

Ye Qingtian shook his head in response. “Don't worry. We're not going to flee the country and hide abroad. Things aren't that dire yet. I'm taking you guys to Jiangdong. From what I know, when Ye Fan was still alive, he left something in Jiangdong to protect the martial arts world there from intruders. In other words, I think Jiangdong is the safest place in China now. In order to fight against Chu Sect, I'll bring all of you guys there and set up a base. This time around, Chu Sect had launched a major scale of attacks and declared war on various martial arts worlds. If we can prolong the war, we might be able to crush Chu Sect's greed and ambitions!” Ye Qingtian said in a deep voice.

“What? Go back to Jiangdong? Are you joking, Ye? The sacred land of China's martial arts world is Mount Yan! War God Castle is the most powerful in China! We should guard Mount Yan and China's War God Castle! Why should we guard Jiangdong for Ye Fan's sake?” King of Fighters fumed.

To him, Mount Yan was the symbol of China's martial arts world. He was worried about what others would say about him if he were to give up on Mount Yan and guard Jiangdong.

If we do that, others will surely think Jiangdong is the symbol of China's martial arts world. In other words, they'll think that Ye Fan is above War God Castle! Most importantly, everyone knows about the conflicts between Ye Fan and War God Castle. If we escape to Jiangdong, everyone's going to think that War God

Castle is good for nothing. Otherwise, why would we run toward Jiangdong to seek protection from a dead man? Along with War God Castle, we'll end up becoming everyone's laughingstock! Neither King of Fighters nor Sword Saint could swallow their pride and do as they were told.

Ye Qingtian got angry, and he fumed, “Do you guys think it's wise to think about your reputations now? Are you guys going to risk the last hope of China's martial arts world for the sake of reputation?”

At that moment, the hundreds of martial artists standing behind them remained silent.

It was as if they were the last troops that were waiting for their general to make a crucial decision that would determine whether they were to live or die.

Suddenly, a burst of hubristic laughter was heard coming from the bottom of Mount Yan. “Hahaha! Hope? Ye Qingtian, do you really think there's still hope for China?”

Ye Qingtian and the others were shocked, and they immediately turned toward the voice.

That was when they saw the members of Chu Sect had returned once again.

This time around, even more of them showed up.

The Chu family's Dragon Guards, Tiger Guards, and Wolf Guards had also arrived. Among them, there were thirty-six expert martial artists.

Besides, a few more elders from Chu Sect were seen standing next to Anderson.

F*ck! They're back already? ^(e Qingtian's expression turned grim.

Ye Qingtian instructed, “Wuya, I'll stall them. Look for an opportunity to take Mr. Xiao and your dad away from Mount Yan, okay? You guys need to get out of here!” Right then, he knew a gruesome

battle was about to break out.

Although Chu Sect had brought along countless experts, Ye Qingtian could still make an escape if he ended up not being able to defeat all of them.

However, he was worried about the others.

Hence, he decided to send King of Fighters and the rest out of there first. “My fellow countrymen, what happens today will directly determine the survival of China's martial arts world. We don't have to win the battle today. Instead, all we need to do is make it out alive! When the battle begins, I'll try my best to hold off the martial artists of Chu Sect. As for the rest of you, do everything you can to get away from Mount Van and stay alive. If possible, I hope to meet all of you at Jiangdong again after this!”

It was as if Ye Qingtian had just said his last words because he knew most of the countrymen before his eyes would die soon after. Now, all I can do forthem is wish them luck. Hopefully, they'll make it out alive.

“No! I'm not leaving! I'll guard Mount Van with my life! I would rather die than flee! If Mount Van falls, I'll be useless as a pillar of China!” King of Fighters was adamant about guarding Mount Yan till his last breath.

Sword Saint wasn't willing to leave, either. War God Castle was everything to him, and he had fought for Mount Van throughout his life. Hence, he would rather die there than live somewhere else.

“Wuya, drag them away!” Ye Qingtian couldn't give a hoot about what they wanted, so he told Mo Wuya to forcefully drag the both of them away from Mount Van.

“Do you think you guys can leave? None of you will get away alive!” Anderson smirked.

“Is it? Do you think the few of you guys can stop us?” Ye Qingtian retorted coldly. His domineering tone suggested that he was looking down on his opponents.

In fact, Ye Qingtian wasn't intimidated by Chu Family Protectors and Chu Sect elders.

“Of course not! I have their backs!”

Whoosh!

A gust of wind swept through, sending the leaves fluttering and the sand flying wildly.

After that, there was a thunderous crash. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The initially peaceful sky was suddenly disrupted by strong gusts of wind.

While panicking, the martial artists from China saw a figure dressed in a grey robe walking slowly toward them.

Despite his slow movements, his footsteps were creating rumbles throughout the area.

Just like that, a domineering and powerful elderly had arrived on Mount Yan.

“Long live Old Master!” “Long live Old Master!”

Upon seeing that elderly, all the martial artists from Chu Sect on Mount Van knelt and greeted him.

It was as if they had just seen someone they were all worshipping.

The expressions of the martial artists from China changed dramatically when they heard that.

King of Fighters had his eyes widened in shock, while Sword Saint's face had turned pale.

Even Ye Qingtian, the protector of China, was startled when he saw the elderly. That's Chu Yuan! That's the former head of Chu Sect, Chu Yuan! He's the main reason Ye Fan died back then. Moreover, he's widely regarded as the strongest in the world. Chu Yuan, he's a supreme and a god realm! Why did he come to Mount Yan in China personally?
