“Is that so?”
Nonetheless, even after listening to Chu Yuan's words, Ye Fan was not at all frightened. Instead, a
calm expression spread across his handsome face. And as he spoke, his voice was laced with a hint of
disdain.
“What's the matter? Do you perhaps think there is still a chance for you to turn the tide?”
Chu Yuan furrowed his brows. Ye Fan's contemptuous tone had displeased him.
“I think you've yet to grasp the situation. The current Chu Sect has been completely revamped.
Besides, I am capable of killing you on my own, and Chu Sect's huge army stands behind me. You're in
this fight alone, and you can't even defeat me. How do you intend to face my horde of troops then?
Even if I remain idle, Tianqi is more than capable of doing away with you with Blaze's help. You don't
stand a chance. Yield, and I shall let you live. Otherwise, your demise will be inevitable,” Chu Yuan
said, his voice cold.
However, Ye Fan continued to beam at Chu Yuan despite the latter's blatant threats.
“Old Mr. Chu, you are absolutely right. Although I don't know how you strengthened the capabilities of
the members of Chu Sect in such a short period, I have to admit that Chu Sect's present-day
supremacy has indeed evolved beyond recognition compared to Chu Sect's condition in the past.”
“I'm glad you realize that. Now hurry up and kneel, you b*stard! It's time you meet your end!” Chu
Qitian bellowed.
It seemed that the previous battle in Japan had failed to serve as a reminder and lesson for Chu Qitian.
Ye Fan sneered. “Well, I feel the need to warn you all too. I, Chu Tianfan, have also attained greater
heights in my cultivation!”
“Hahaha!” Chu Yuan threw his head back and cackled maniacally after listening to Ye Fan as if he had
just heard the world's funniest joke.
“You really have a lot of guts to talk big, huh, even when you're on the brink of death. You are now
alone and helpless. What greater heights are you fantasizing about? What's the matter? Do you think
your subordinates from Dragon God Hall would be here to assist you? By the way, I suppose no one
has told you this. When you escaped Mount Chumen previously, Chu Sect had captured the few
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDragon Slayers who served under you. We've imprisoned them all these years, sealed their powers,
and tortured them. Prior to the start of this expedition, I've ordered the head of elders to execute your
most reliable subordinates secretly. If everything progressed as my plan, the few Dragon Slayers from
your Dragon God Hall should have already been eliminated by Chu Sect by now. Hahaha!” Chu Yuan
laughed smugly.
He acted so confidently, as if everything was happening according to his scheme. In fact, he had
considered the possibility of Ye Fan's survival. Before his departure, he had been worried something
unexpected might have happened on Dragon God Hall's end. Therefore, he had deliberately informed
the Guardians in Black, Tang Xian, and a few formidable fighters to remain at Chu Sect to stand guard.
At the same time, they had been given the order to execute Gaius and the others.
Once the four Dragon Slayers were dead, how big of a ruckus could Ye Fan stir on his own?
Chu Yuan was under the assumption that he would be able to witness Ye Fan's furious and remorseful
mien after he said those words. But unexpectedly, Ye Fan burst out laughing instead of being
overwhelmed by grief.
Chu Yuan immediately frowned. “How can you still stay so upbeat at this time, you b*stard? Your
subordinates had willingly served you and did all your bidding, yet you're behaving in such a cold-
blooded manner, and you're indifferent to their fates. Their loyalty had been in vain. Not only are you
not saddened by your subordinates' deaths, but you can still bring yourself to smile so happily now. It is
no wonder someone as cruel and inhumane as you managed to invoke the public's wrath, prompting
China to disown you and all the other martial arts leaders to want nothing to do with you.”
Ye Fan's response had undoubtedly disappointed Chu Yuan as he was hoping to witness Ye Fan's
disconcerted and anguished demeanor.
He didn't expect Ye Fan to be laughing at all.
Ye Fan shook his head while beaming at Chu Yuan. “Chu Yuan, it seems that Tang Xian has yet to
report the things that happened at Chu Sect to you. You should really send someone back to Mount
Chumen to check out the circumstances there.”
“What is there to check out?” Chu Yuan's facial expression darkened, and simultaneously, a sense of
foreboding rose within him.
“You should return to check out the scene at Mount Chumen featuring dead bodies strewn across the
floor and bear witness to the bloodbath at Chu Sect's headquarters,” Ye Fan replied while wearing a
faint smile. “Chu Yuan, you thought you've figured everything out, but you've failed to postulate where I
hurried over from. Well, there's no need for you to guess anymore because I will tell you the answer
now. I visited Chu Sect's stronghold earlier and demolished the whole place.”
What?
Everyone was stunned upon hearing that.
Ye Fan's words came like a bolt from the blue to those Chu Sect's fighters who were present.
After all, Mount Chumen was their place of residence.
If Ye Fan had indeed destroyed the entire place as he described, all of them would have nowhere to
live in the future.
Chu Yuan widened his eyes after listening to Ye Fan's announcement.
“F*cking bullsh*t! How dare a b*stard like you continue to mislead the crowd with your nonsense when
you're going to die soon? Since you're determined to court death, I shall grant you your wish!” Chu
Yuan fumed instantaneously and dashed toward Ye Fan.
In a flash, Chu Yuan focused his energy on his fists and was ready to strike his opponent.
He had lost all patience to continue talking to Ye Fan. If I allow him to prolong this conversation, I'm
afraid the morale of Chu Sect's army will waver.
“Beware, you sharp-tongued b*stard! I'll tear your mouth to pieces!” Chu Yuan was beside himself with
rage.
Regardless of the authenticity of Ye Fan's statement earlier, Chu Yuan was certain of one thing: Ye Fan
was highly capable of discouraging Chu Sect's troops.
Not to mention Anderson and the others, even Chu Yuan was unsettled after hearing Ye Fan saying
that he had laid waste to Chu Sect's stronghold.
Mount Chumen was their safe harbor. Any damage to that place would undoubtedly impair Chu Sect's
army's confidence.
In a fit of rage, Chu Yuan no longer dared to argue with Ye Fan. He had to admit that Ye Fan was
someone very witty and eloquent.
Amidst his fury, Chu Yuan had arrived before Ye Fan.
Naturally, Ye Fan did not dare to take the situation lightly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe activated his Dragon God Body and thrust his palms to intercept Chu Yuan's assault.
A deafening noise tore through the area as Ye Fan stumbled backward due to the impact.
A tingling sensation erupted in his palms and traveled up his arms.
“This old man has indeed improved!” The fleeting clash dispirited Ye Fan.
He had fought Chu Yuan previously, and after years of polishing his skills, he had thought the gap
between his abilities and Chu Fan's would diminish.
However, judging by the current circumstances, Ye Fan realized he was too naive as Chu Yuan
continued to overpower him.
While Ye Fan was absorbed in his negative thoughts, Chu Yuan leaped into the air again and made his
move.
His terrifying attacks instantly surrounded Ye Fan like a thunderstorm, blocking all of Ye Fan's escape
routes.
The gales resulting from the force of Chu Yuan's attack swept across the entire Mount Yunding.
No one had anticipated a war to break out at that moment.
Meanwhile, Li Er and the others, standing on top of Mount Yunding, were anxious when they saw that
Ye Fan was at a disadvantage following the first exchange of blows.
Their uneasiness intensified when they saw Chu Yuan launching his subsequent moves at Ye Fan.
At that sight, Ye Qingtian, who was barely hanging on to his life, spewed out blood as panic
overwhelmed him.
Ye Fan is China's last survivor, so he must not be harmed.
However, just as everyone thought Chu Yuan's assault would gravely injure Ye Fan, the latter, who was
cornered in midair, suddenly disappeared in a flash.
A split second later, multiple figures of Ye Fan materialized in the sky.
“W-What's going on?”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Only a few people could fathom what was happening with a single glance.
“Afterimage! These are afterimages!”
