Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Faced with the formidable threat, the concerned Suzumiya Eigetsu dragged her wounded self up to Ye

Fan's side.

Tugging Ye Fan's sleeve, she was visibly worried about the upcoming battle.

“Master, the beast has grown a lot stronger after its transformation. You have to be cautious.”

Previously, Moon God had been defeated by Blaze after its second transformation. Since she had

failed to even break through its defenses, losing to it was a foregone conclusion.

Now that it had exceeded everyone's expectations and transformed a third time, its physical prowess

was elevated to the next level. Consequently, her concern for her master intensified.

“Mmm-hmm. I know,” Ye Fan replied with a frown that was filled with intense conviction.

Just when he was harnessing his energy in preparation for an all-out attack, the group of Chu Sect

elders climbed back to their feet and hurried to Chu Qitian's side, whispering something to him.

Chu Qitian was infuriated to hear their words.

“What did you say? You're asking me to retreat? Blaze has achieved its third transformation and

become so powerful that nothing can stand in his way. Now that Ye Fan is right for the picking, what is

your agenda for asking me to withdraw? Have all of you lost your mind?” Chu Qitian fumed.

However, Chu Sect elders continued to plead with him, “Mr. Chu, this is an order from Old Master. A

messenger has arrived to insist on our immediate return, for something has happened in China.

Moreover, we still do not know the depths of Chu Tianfan's strength. Even with the alliance of countries

back then, we still failed to kill him then.

“Therefore, Mr. Chu, are you certain we can finish him off with Blaze's third transformation? Don't forget

that Chu Tianfan is still hiding other trump cards up his sleeves. Just with his physical prowess alone,

he has defeated Blaze's first two forms. So, what if he unleashes his ultimate technique? Blaze would

be placed in a precarious situation.

“In the event it is defeated, none of us are going to leave Japan alive. Mr. Chu, as a member of the Chu

family, you know better than anyone else how formidable Invoke the Celestial Sky can be. Hence, we

should first return to China as a precaution. Since it is Chu Tianfan's hometown, he'll go back there

sooner or later. When that happens, we can mobilize the strength of the entire Chu Sect to annihilate

him. Isn't that a much better plan?”

The elders of Chu Sect were clearly traumatized by the defeats they had previously suffered at Chu

Tianfan's hands.

Even though Blaze was unstoppable after its third transformation and Chu Sect clearly had the upper

hand, the fear within Chu Sect elders didn't diminish one bit.

They were fearful of Ye Fan turning the tide of battle with another surprise.

By then, death would undoubtedly be their fate.

As the feud between Chu Sect and Ye Fan had been going on for years, the elders were cognizant of

the latter's affinity to turn things around.

Throughout the years, there were countless incidents when they had him surrounded and victory was

at hand.

This time was naturally no different.

However, Ye Fan always turned the tables on them.

In fact, Chu Qitian, despite having spent more than ten years hunting the former, had allowed Ye Fan to

attack his home instead.

Until that day, Chu Qitian's father was still hanging off Mount Chumen, wailing day and night in agony.

As for Chu Sect, they suffered an even worse fate—half of the ten elders had been killed by Ye Fan.

Even though new elders had been chosen to replace those who died, their influence and strength were

inferior to their predecessors.

Therefore, they were truly petrified of facing Ye Fan to the extent of preferring to flee despite their

advantage in battle.

Consequently, Chu Qitian fell into deep thought, for it was obvious the elders' words had struck a chord

with him.

They have a point. Over the decade of pursuing Ye Fan, I would always end up being beaten to pulp

just when I thought I had him.

After a brief hesitation, Chu Qitian finally compromised and gave the order to retreat.

“Chu Tianfan, I have decided to let you off today. However, I'll be waiting for you at Jiangdong for our

showdown. When the time comes, only one of us will come out alive!”

Chu Qitian's insidious voice reverberated throughout the land.

Just as he spoke, he ordered his men to withdraw. Blaze, acting as the rear guard, would cover their

retreat.

With that, the grand army that was supposed to invade Japan marched away from Tokyo and out of

Japan's borders.

They headed back to China to rejoin Chu Yuan's Chu Sect army.

“Unrivalled Grandmaster, we can't allow them to flee. Instead, we should pursue and slaughter them

all. Otherwise, they would come back for us one day!”

When Mochizuki Kawa saw Chu Sect retreating, he shouted anxiously at Chu Tianfan, urging the latter

to finish their enemies off.

After all, as long as Chu Qitian was still alive, the martial arts world of Japan would continue to be

threatened.

Thus, he naturally hoped to see Ye Fan use this opportunity to eradicate the men from Chu Sect.

Not only did he not care about Ye Fan's survival, but he also hoped that both parties would suffer

grievous harm in a brutal battle.

In fact, his ideal scenario was for them to kill each other.

With both Ye Fan and Chu Sect annihilated, Japan's martial arts world would top the world.

However, no sooner had Mochizuki Kawa spoken than he was given a slap by Ye Fan.

A giant palm consequently blocked off the sky before falling upon him, smashing him downward.

Amidst shattering rocks and cratering earth, a giant palm print subsequently emerged on the ground.

Before Mochizuki Kawa could even scream in agony, he was buried deep underneath the rocks.

In spite of that, he was one tough nut to crack.

A short while later, a blood-drenched figure crawled out from beneath the rubble.

Looking in Moon God's direction, he pointed at Ye Fan in a pleading manner before throwing out a few

mouthfuls of blood. The next moment, his massive body collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud

after losing consciousness.

“Sword God!”

The sight of the fainted Sword God shocked the martial artists of Japan.

While rushing to his side to check on his wounds, they appealed angrily to Moon God, “Your Highness,

you have to stand up for Sword God! Ye Fan intended to kill him by striking him so brutally.”

“Your Highness, you have to mete out justice on his behalf,” the martial artists pleaded.

However, Suzumiya Eigetsu not only ignored their pleas but also threw herself into Ye Fan's arms in

delight, as if she was a wounded kitten looking for comfort from her master.

Now that the men from Chu Sect had left, her mind was finally put at ease after being worried sick

about Ye Fan.

“Master, they're finally gone,” she remarked gleefully while leaning in his embrace.

However, the tension in her body had hardly eased when the pain from her wounds began to

overwhelm her.

Subsequently, Ye Fan felt her trembling in his arms as blood began oozing out the corners of her

mouth.

It was only then that did he notice how pale she looked.

The wounds Blaze had inflicted upon her earlier had long been covered in blood, causing Ye Fan to

feel a squeeze in his heart.

Sweeping her off her feet, he prepared to leave. “Eigetsu, you must hold on. I'll take you back to China

to have your wounds treated.”

However, the Japanese martial artists refused to let him take her.

“Put Her Highness down!”

“She's the guardian of Japan, not China.”

“Who gave you the right to take her away?”

The martial artists surrounded him.

Raising his head, Ye Fan stared at them.

“I didn't kill you lot on Eigetsu's account, but you had better not get on my nerves. Or else, I don't mind

finishing Chu Sect's mission for them.”

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, a cold breeze filled with murderous intent blew in the air.
