Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

No one knew the excruciating pain of having one's throat slit.

However, compared to the physical pain, the shock within him appeared to take precedence.

At the very final second of his life, the elder in gray robes was still indefinitely shocked. Seemingly

expending the last vestiges of his strength, he voiced the question that plagued him most.

“Y-You... are... C-Chu Tianfan?”

His hoarse voice pierced the air quietly, tinged with a hint of terror.

Standing with his hands behind his back, Ye Fan indifferently cast his gaze over.

He simply answered, “Congratulations, you got it right.”

Thud!

As his words fell, the elder's head tumbled to the ground.

Only when the elder from Chu Sect was on the verge of death did he truly surmise the identity of the

man standing before him.

Alas, even when he breathed his last, he probably still couldn't fathom why someone who had died

would appear again.

Worse still, he was so “lucky” to have bumped into the man.

Following his body toppling to the ground, the world finally went silent once more.

The yellow leaf that was used as a weapon had been stained red with blood.

“Let's go, Lei. I'll bring you back to Mount Yunding.”

Ye Fan was as calm as ever.

To him, killing someone had long since become as natural as breathing and eating.

After dealing with the elder, he was in a hurry to rush back to Mount Yunding.

“But the car is broken. How are we going to get there?” Xu Lei fretted helplessly.

“What a silly girl. Have you forgotten that I can fly?”

Grinning, Ye Fan shook his head. Then, he scooped her up amidst her shy gaze and soared toward the

ends of the horizon.

On the way to Mount Yunding, Xu Lei told him everything she knew.

“Chu Sect's army has descended upon Jiangdong for such a long time already? It looks like War God

Castle on Mount Yan has been obliterated completely.”

As Ye Fan listened to her narration of events, his heart grew increasingly heavy.

He wasn't only worried about Jiangdong, but he was also worried about War God Castle.

Although Sword Saint and King of Fighters betrayed him back then, they weren't the only ones in War

God Castle.

There were also Heavenly Grandmaster and War God.

After fighting alongside them for so many years, he had formed close friendships with them.

Don't tell me that they, too, have fallen?

An invisible wave of grief started welling from the depths of his heart.

“Ye Fan, this is hearsay, and it might not be true. I heard that Heavenly Grandmaster has fallen,” Xu Lei

murmured.

She could distinctly sense the man's body shudder all of a sudden.

“What about the others, then?” Ye Fan asked with a deep voice.

In response, Xu Lei shook her head. “I'm not sure either. All I know is that War God Castle has been

breached, Mount Yan invaded, and Heavenly Grandmaster self-destructed. As for whatever happened

after that, I'm also pretty much in the dark.”

Subsequently, both of them fell silent.

The silence lasted for an eternity.

Never did I expect my foremost concern to ultimately come true.

In truth, Ye Fan had braced himself for that possibly ages ago.

After all, Chu Sect was utilizing its full force this time.

Needless to say, Chu Qitian went to Japan with that beast.

However, there were still Chu Yuan and Tang Yun.

The two of them must have come to China.

In the face of such a staggering line-up, War God Castle couldn't possibly hold its own.

Therefore, death was inevitable.

In fact, Ye Fan reckoned that even War God, Ye Qingtian, might have fallen.

He enjoyed a close friendship with the man and knew him all too well.

That was a man who regarded the nation's glory as his utmost priority.

Considering his temperament, he would probably still be alive if War God Castle were intact. But if War

God Castle had fallen, then he's probably gone as well.

“Chu Yuan! Chu Sect!” he muttered.

At that thought, the chill in the depths of Ye Fan's eyes intensified.

His hands were balled into fists, and his gaze radiated great animosity.

The murderous intent deep within him blazed even hotter.

“Ye Fan! Ye Fan!”

Just as the murderous intent within the man bubbled over, Xu Lei seemingly caught sight of something,

for she abruptly turned apprehensive.

“Quick, look down, Ye Fan! A dark shadow is chasing after us. Could it be an assassin from Chu Sect?”

she exclaimed in a panic.

Looking down, Ye Fan shook his head. “Don't worry. That's not an assassin from Chu Sect. Instead, it's

something that will help us eliminate Chu Sect.”

Boom!

No sooner had Ye Fan's words fallen than a deafening boom rang out from the airspace in the

distance.

With just a single glance, Ye Fan frowned.

“That came from Mount Yunding! It looks like Yunzhou Formation is also going to collapse. Hold on to

me tightly, Lei. We must rush over posthaste.”

As he sensed the activity ahead of him, the anxiety within him promptly skyrocketed.

Ultimately, I failed to make it in time to stop the destruction of War God Castle. This time, I can't be a

step too late anymore.

“Got it!”

Xu Lei bobbed her head hard. Subsequently, her grip on the man's arm tightened.

Whoosh!

In the next second, Ye Fan accelerated.

His speed was so fast that he appeared to be a stream of light cutting across the air.

Like a long sword piercing the sky, he flew right toward the ends of the horizon.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

From the wilderness below, a series of barks sounded out of the blue.

On o closer look, one would see o block dog on thot vost lond, sprinting desperotely with its tongue

lolling out.

Thot block dog wos none other thon the dog Ye Fon brought out of the Chu residence.

Initiolly, Ye Fon troveled with it in his orms.

However, when he discovered Xu Lei's trocks eorlier, he obondoned the dog in his ponic to speed up

ond sove her.

After soving her, he noturolly couldn't be bothered obout the dog onymore. Hence, he could only let it

run ofter him.

The block dog chosing ofter him borked fronticolly ot the sight of the beouty in his orms.

Its resentful tone wos seemingly o reprimond, lombosting him for socrificing it for the soke of o girl.

“Look, Doddy! A dog is running even foster thon us!” o child soid to his fother on the highwoy while

pointing out the cor's window.

Costing o glonce ot the speedometer, his fother shook his heod. “You must be mistoken, son. How

could o dog possibly keep poce with us?”

However, just os he hod soid thot, he glimpsed o block dog sprinting ot full tilt.

As it sped up, its legs lifted from the ground, ond it leoped into the oir, bounding on the roof of severol

cors before disoppeoring from sight.

“W-Whot?”

The mon glonced ot his speedometer, which indicoted o speed of o hundred ond five. Then, he shifted

his goze bock to the block dog kicking up o cloud of dust. He went wholly stunned. “Is... Is thot Bolt?”

Meonwhile, on Mount Yunding stood Chu Yuon in oll his mojesty.

Behind him wos Chu Sect's ormy which totoled up to thousonds.

Chu Qition hod olso orrived. At present, he wos stonding beside his grondfother, wotching os Bloze

ottocked Yunzhou Formotion modly.

“Whot hoppened over in Jopon? You still sustoined numerous injuries even with Bloze helping you?”

While woiting, Chu Yuon reprooched Chu Qition with displeosure written in his eyes.

“I'm sorry, Grondpo. I underestimoted Jopon's Moon God. She wos exceedingly powerful. But Bloze

ond I hove olreody injured her heovily. Even if she survives, she'll lose the obility to lounch ottocks

henceforth.”

Chu Qition hung his heod os he reported the situotion during the bottle in Jopon.

But then, he didn't tell Chu Yuon obout Chu Tionfon's return.

He even forbode his subordinotes to inform the mon obout it.

It wos cleor thot he hod his own motives for not doing so.

He didn't wont his grondfother to know thot he hod been defeoted ot Chu Tionfon's honds once more,

much less hove the entire world know thot he wosn't os good os the lotter.

As for deoling with the mon, he plonned to hunt him down with Bloze when the dust settled in

Jiongdong.

Ye Fon definitely wouldn't dore come ond risk deoth now thot Chu Sect's ormy hos besieged

Jiongdong. Insteod, he must be hiding somewhere with thot womon from Jopon, heoling his injuries.

On a closer look, one would see a black dog on that vast land, sprinting desperately with its tongue

lolling out.

That black dog was none other than the dog Ye Fan brought out of the Chu residence.

Initially, Ye Fan traveled with it in his arms.

However, when he discovered Xu Lei's tracks earlier, he abandoned the dog in his panic to speed up

and save her.

After saving her, he naturally couldn't be bothered about the dog anymore. Hence, he could only let it

run after him.

The black dog chasing after him barked frantically at the sight of the beauty in his arms.

Its resentful tone was seemingly a reprimand, lambasting him for sacrificing it for the sake of a girl.

“Look, Daddy! A dog is running even faster than us!” a child said to his father on the highway while

pointing out the car's window.

Casting a glance at the speedometer, his father shook his head. “You must be mistaken, son. How

could a dog possibly keep pace with us?”

However, just as he had said that, he glimpsed a black dog sprinting at full tilt.

As it sped up, its legs lifted from the ground, and it leaped into the air, bounding on the roof of several

cars before disappearing from sight.

“W-What?”

The man glanced at his speedometer, which indicated a speed of a hundred and five. Then, he shifted

his gaze back to the black dog kicking up a cloud of dust. He went wholly stunned. “Is... Is that Bolt?”

Meanwhile, on Mount Yunding stood Chu Yuan in all his majesty.

Behind him was Chu Sect's army which totaled up to thousands.

Chu Qitian had also arrived. At present, he was standing beside his grandfather, watching as Blaze

attacked Yunzhou Formation madly.

“What happened over in Japan? You still sustained numerous injuries even with Blaze helping you?”

While waiting, Chu Yuan reproached Chu Qitian with displeasure written in his eyes.

“I'm sorry, Grandpa. I underestimated Japan's Moon God. She was exceedingly powerful. But Blaze

and I have already injured her heavily. Even if she survives, she'll lose the ability to launch attacks

henceforth.”

Chu Qitian hung his head as he reported the situation during the battle in Japan.

But then, he didn't tell Chu Yuan about Chu Tianfan's return.

He even forbade his subordinates to inform the man about it.

It was clear that he had his own motives for not doing so.

He didn't want his grandfather to know that he had been defeated at Chu Tianfan's hands once more,

much less have the entire world know that he wasn't as good as the latter.

As for dealing with the man, he planned to hunt him down with Blaze when the dust settled in

Jiangdong.

Ye Fan definitely wouldn't dare come and risk death now that Chu Sect's army has besieged

Jiangdong. Instead, he must be hiding somewhere with that woman from Japan, healing his injuries.
