No one else deserved to dress in all white than the man.
Just when the man took off his white robe, everyone turned to look at him.
“The man in the dragon mask? It's you again! It seems like our master's lesson has fallen on deaf ears.
How dare you show yourself again?”
Anderson and the others recognized the man right away, the man who was dressed in all white and
donned a dragon mask.
He was the man who had inflicted trials and brought tragedies upon Chu Sect all these years.
Not long before, Chu Tianqi had beaten him up severely.
He thought that the man would toe the line after that, at least for some time.
However, they didn't expect him to show himself at Mount Yan.
Hence, Anderson and the others were agitated.
Nonetheless, the man in the dragon mask did not seem to pay heed to the people of Chu Sect as they
questioned him.
He turned around and headed toward Sword Saint and the others.
“T-Thank you for saving my life. However, the martial arts world of China has met its downfall. It will not
be honorable for me to keep troubling you. If I were to reincarnate in my next life, I will surely repay
your kindness together with King of Fighters. Nonetheless, it is best for you to leave right now,” Sword
Saint said.
After all, Chu Sect was too powerful.
Even though Sword Saint felt indebted to the man in the dragon mask, they were not related after all.
Hence, he could not let the mystery man protect China on behalf of War God Castle and offend Chu
Sect.
Hence, after thanking the man in the dragon mask, Sword Saint let out a soft sigh and asked him to
leave them.
The man in the dragon mask let out a chuckle. “Leave? If I lose my home country, where else would I
go?”
Though it was a hearty chortle, there was a hint of melancholy to it.
Sword Saint and the others were stumped. King of Fighters also lifted his head in response.
“Y-You are...”
The man in the dragon mask did not answer. He took off his mask and revealed the somehow familiar
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyet strange face to the group.
“Y-Ye? Are you... Ye?”
When the man in the dragon mask took off his mask, Sword Saint and King of Fighters were stunned.
They widened their eyes in disbelief as they transfixed their gaze at the man before them.
Perhaps from shock, or even touched by the revelation, Sword Saint, who had been a stern man his
whole life, brimmed with tears at the sight.
It had been three years since.
Well, almost three years.
Ever since Ye Fan's incident, Ye Qingtian had removed himself from War God Castle. Since then,
Sword Saint had not heard any news on Ye Qingtian.
Before the crisis happened in China, Sword Saint had been thinking if Ye Qingtian would make a
return.
However, the man had not shown himself even when Tang Hao died.
Hence, Sword Saint and the others had not harbored any hopes that Ye Qingtian would ever return.
Thus, they certainly did not expect that to happen...
After the initial shock, Sword Saint's shaky hands held on right to Ye Qingtian's arms as he patted the
latter on his chest a few times. It was as if he was blaming him for showing himself too late.
“Ye, why are you only showing yourself now... We thought that you were still mad at us and that you've
abandoned War God Castle and left us to die,” King of Fighters lamented.
They were finally seeing a glimmer of hope after wallowing in despair for far too long.
It was as if they were drowning, and Ye Qingtian was their lifeline who appeared right on time.
Hence, it would not be difficult to imagine King of Fighters and Sword Saint's joy.
“After all, we have founded War God Castle together. China is also my home country. No matter how
mad I am at you guys, I will not sit idly by and watch you guys get obliterated by Chu Sect,” Ye Qingtian
said in a low voice.
There was an inexplicable expression on Ye Qingtian's craggy face.
As he aged, he came to realize that there was no absolute right and wrong in the world.
For example, Ye Fan's incident. Was Sword Saint truly in the wrong?
Of course, judging from Ye Qingtian's perspective, Sword Saint and the others were to be blamed.
However, given Sword Saint's position, could he be truly at fault for the matter?
It was only a matter of perspective.
Besides, it had been a long time since, and there was nothing they could do to change the fact.
It was time to let go of the grudges.
At the very least, Ye Qingtian would once again fight alongside Sword Saint.
“Ye, Tang Hao...” Sword Saint's face turned red as he choked on his words.
Ye Qingtian nodded and said solemnly, “I know. Tang was truly the man. China is proud to have such a
man serving the country!”
He instinctively clenched his fist. His eyes turned anguished and glinted with a murderous aura.
“Both you and King of Fighters could take a rest. Let me handle the rest,” Ye Qingtian said.
He gave Sword Saint and the others another look before turning around to face their enemies.
However, Sword Saint and King of Fighters were still worried about him and said, “Ye, they're very
strong... If they work together, they're able to rival the top ten supreme grandmasters on Sky Ranking.”
After all, King of Fighters and Sword Saint had fought them before. Hence, they knew what the people
from Chu Sect were capable of.
Despite being the strongest man in all China, Ye Qingtian was not able to rank even among the top ten
on Sky Ranking.
Hence, they were worried that even the return of War God would mean nothing but another life lost at
Mount Yan.
Ye Qingtian smiled and said, “Don't worry. Only a few at Chu Sect could make me retreat.”
Somehow, Ye Qingtian was undeterred by the alleged top ten martial artists on Sky Ranking.
Then, Ye Qingtian strode forward to fight the army of Chu Sect alone.
“War God! It's War God! He's back! Haha, there is finally hope for China!”
The martial artists behind him were overjoyed at the sight of Ye Qingtian.
Their eyes brimmed with tears. It was as if they were drowning in the depths of despair, and Ye
Qingtian was their only savior.
Some of them even kneeled as they welcomed his return.
After all, Ye Qingtian had been the most powerful protector of China all these years.
He was akin to the backbone of the martial arts world of China.
As long as he stood tall, the martial arts world of China would never fall.
“So, you're Ye Qingtian, the strongest man in all of China! No wonder so many of my elites have fallen
today. However, that is coming to an end. War God Castle is way past its prime. Do you really think you
can single-handedly defeat the whole army of Chu Sect?” Anderson chided and let out a mocking
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlaugh.
Then, he wasted no time and ordered to commence the attack right away.
“Get into formation!”
Bang!
An overwhelming aura burst out and spurred into the air.
Over a dozen Chu Sect martial artists teamed up once again.
Cloud Sun Immortal Army burst forth with an aura to destroy the world.
They dashed forward ruthlessly in Ye Qingtian's direction.
“Ye, you have to dodge! This is a very powerful formation by Chu Sect, the Comprehensive Array
Attack! Both King of Fighters and I have lost to this formation. Even those ranking top ten among Sky
Ranking might not be able to fend themselves off this attack!”
Sword Saint was taken aback that Chu Sect had chosen to deploy this formation as soon as they
launched their attack on Ye Qingtian.
However, Ye Qingtian was unfazed in face of the formation.
The authoritative man remained calm and composed, exuding a domineering aura.
“You have driven Ye Fan to his death back then. And now, you're trying to crumble the martial arts
world of China. Let's settle all the scores today!” Ye Qingtian hissed.
He was expressionless as an immense force pooled right in the palm of his hand.
Bang!
Then, Ye Qingtian took a leap and spurred into the air.
His took the shape of his palm and manifested as a sizeable palm, covering more than half of the sky.
Ye Qingtian's palm technique was known as Heavenly Palm!
Thud!
The enormous palm fell from the sky like a mountain towering over the Earth.
The formidable palm technique came crashing down on the elders of Chu Sect.
Boom!
There was nothing to shield the elders from the attack.
His terrifying aura was like fallen leaves swirling in the autumn breeze and winter snow melting in a
boiling pot of oil.
The Comprehensive Array Attack of Chu Sect shattered into pieces, fading into nothing.
