A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2078

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Blaze's massive body, as if it was repeatedly struck by a giant hammer, was pounded toward the ground by Ye Fan.

As a thunderous sound echoed in all directions, a large swathe of the ground collapsed from the impact.

Stunned by the incredible scene before them, the crowd could only gawk.

“I-Is he even human?”

“Can he also be a monster?”

Mochizuki Kawa and the Japanese martial artists were flabbergasted.

From their perspective, Ye Fan was no different from a monster on par with Blaze.

Even the teary-eyed Suzumiya Eigetsu, who was worried sick just a moment ago, covered her mouth in shock.

“D*mn it! Blaze, what are you doing? I ordered you to finish him! So, just kill him!” the raging Chu Qitian roared.

Despite his frustrated shouts urging Blaze to counterattack, Blaze's tail was caught by Ye Fan while its head was being slammed onto the ground repeatedly until it was seeing stars.

From the looks of it, Blaze had been beaten unconscious by Ye Fan.

“That piece of trash!”

The infuriated Chu Qitian almost burst a vessel.

In his desperation, he bit the tip of his tongue, causing Jade Eyes to glow, flooding Blaze's mind with a rush of spiritual energy.

In the instant, the badly-beaten Blaze was reinvigorated and let out a deafening roar toward the sky.

Following his furious cry was an inferno shooting out of its jaws, encapsulating Ye Fan's body with an explosive force and terrifying heat.

The massive impact threw Ye Fan back while the heat from the inferno tormented him greatly.

Ye Fan, having no other choice, had to release Blaze's claws and back away.

Upon regaining its freedom, Blaze turned around and bored down on Ye Fan as if it had gone berserk.

With its jaws opened wide, it looked as if it was going to swallow Ye Fan entirely.

Ye Fan, who had no intention of standing idly by and letting himself be devoured, turned around and retreated a hundred steps back.

Nonetheless, Blaze wasn't discouraged from missing his target.

Spreading out its gigantic wings, it swung its razor-sharp scales in Ye Fan's direction while sweeping its metal-whip-like tail across the ground.

Attacking with a roar, it was clear that Blaze was utterly enraged by Ye Fan.

The menacing assault that ensued pummeled Ye Fan just like a hurricane.

Blaze was alternating between bearing its jaws down, breathing fire out of its mouth, slashing its wings, and sweeping with its tail.

Every single one of its strikes carried the explosive power of lightning, leaving huge craters on the ground.

In fact, the terrifying force of Blaze's claws was capable of ripping thick steel sheets into pieces.

Under pressure from Blaze's rampage, Ye Fan—deciding not to fight head-on—chose to dodge repeatedly.

However, from the perspective of those from Chu Sect, Ye Fan had fallen into a disadvantage and had no answer to Blaze's attacks.

“Hahaha!” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

With his eyes glistening smugly, Chu Qitian sneered, “Chu Tianfan, I advise you to surrender, for there's no way you can penetrate Blaze's impregnable defense given how physically tough he is. From the very beginning, Blaze's victory in this battle was never in doubt. As for you, you'll be torn apart once you have exhausted all your strength.”

“Is that so?”

At that moment, Ye Fan—caught by a swipe from Blaze's claws—was sent crashing into the ancient ruins below.

Nevertheless, he quickly sprang back to his feet. Patting the dust off his body, he raised his head and threw Chu Qitian a smirk—triggering the latter's displeasure.

“I'm surprised you can still smile in the face of death. You truly are nothing but a fool! Let's see if you can still maintain that smile of yours when Blaze's claw pierces through your body!”

Chu Qitian was outraged.

Nonetheless, Ye Fan simply shook his head and snorted.

“Chu Qitian, do you really think a nobody like you can stop me? Given that I have dared to make a comeback, I naturally possess the confidence to take Chu Sect on. Now, watch closely as I defeat this beast of yours!”

With that, Ye Fan burst into a series of laughter.

Amidst the echo of his voice, the horizon began to crack, followed by lightning crackling around Ye Fan's body.

As if they had come alive, the three Thunderstripes between his brows unleashed a dazzling glow.

The very next second, Ye Fan—evolving into a stream of light—shot into the sky and reappeared in front of Blaze in a flash.

Subsequently, a powerful punch smashed into Blaze's abdomen.

Bang!

A thunderous rumble reverberated through the air.

In response, Chu Qitian scoffed, “It's useless. Even swords can't cut through Blaze's scales, let alone your bare hands.”

Chu Qitian brimmed with confidence, for he was speaking the truth.

After all, Ye Fan's punch barely landed a scratch on Blaze.

In spite of that, the force from the punch had permeated through Blaze's scales and undoubtedly hurt its internal organs.

In the midst of an agonized cry, Blaze's body was flung back by a hundred meters. Opening its jaws while being mired in excruciating pain, it spewed a mist of blood into the air.

“H-How is this even possible?”

Chu Qitian was so stunned that his eyeballs almost popped out of its sockets.

Unfortunately for him, that was just the beginning.

After the first punch, Ye Fan—piling on the pressure—bore down upon Blaze again.

Throwing his steel-like fist that carried the force of a thousand tons, he aimed it at Blaze's eyes this time.

In an evasive maneuver, Blaze swung its wings around to block.

Nevertheless, Ye Fan didn't flinch as his fist smote Blaze's wings with devastating force.

The impact from the punch bent Blaze's bones, essentially breaking its wings in half.

The excruciating pain that ensued caused Blaze to retract its wing by reflex—unintentionally exposing its eyes.

Seizing upon the opening, Ye Fan launched a kick at them.

Blaze's lantern-sized eyes—despite being protected by its scales—sunk into their sockets upon the impact, resulting in green blood gushing out.

“Argh!”

With blood spewing out of its eyes, Blaze let out an agonized cry before falling onto the ground.

Writhing in agony, it covered its eyes with its claws as it continued to roar uncontrollably.

“Now's the time!”

At the end of the day, a beast could never escape its nature. Regardless of how strong it was, its mental capabilities and behavior were no match for humans.

If Ye Fan was in its shoes, he would've retreated to a safe distance immediately.

In contrast, when Blaze stayed still and roared, it opened up a window for Ye Fan to deal it a fatal blow.

Underneath the watchful eyes of the crowd, the intensity of Ye Fan's vigor began to rise until a terrifying power culminated within his body.

In the end, his bulging muscles were so pumped that veins were visible on the surface of his arms, which were now double their original size.

“This...”

From afar, Chu Qitian's expression drastically changed the moment he recognized the harnessing technique.

Charging at Ye Fan, he screamed at Blaze. “Blaze, retreat!”

“Retreat? Is it even possible?”

Ye Fan's lips suddenly curled into a murderous smile.

The next second, he bellowed, “Boundless Destruction!”

Boom!

A tremendous shockwave was unleashed as Ye Fan—wielding god-like power—threw an earth- shattering punch forward.

Its explosive power released a sonic boom into the air.

Despite Chu Qitian's desperate efforts to stop him, the former failed to block in time and was swept away by the ensuing blast.

Amidst the sound of shattering ribs, blood rained in the air.

Chu Qitian had vomited a mist of blood while his body was thrown back.

As for Ye Fan's attack, it continued on its trajectory, undiminished in power.

Boundless Destruction was the amalgamation of Tumble of the Majestic Mountain and Infinite Force from Invoke the Celestial Sky.

True to its name, the boundless energy and devastating force it unleashed was enough to decimate everything before it. In fact, its power would intensify with every subsequent strike.
