A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 2199

Zhao Hongtu's spirit was shaken.

Though Zhao Hongtu had not seen Chu Tianfan before in Zhonghai, the latter was too famous.

It could be said that Zhao Hongtu had heard a lot about the opponent.

Be it the business, military, or martial arts world, legends of Chu Tianfan were recounted everywhere Zhao Hongtu went.

After all, he was a pathetic live-in son-in-law who became a powerful being in Jiangdong that controlled its entire business world. It was a classic legend told in the business world.

As for the military world, Ye Fan was famous for leading Green Dragon Force and forcing three army troops to retreat. The instructors of China's major military regions all bowed down to him.

His title as General Green Dragon was well known among the three troops.

Not forgetting to mention the martial arts world.

The fact that Chu Tianfan ranked first in Sky Ranking and even wiped out Chu Sect made him the most feared individual in the martial arts world.

One could only imagine how frightened Zhao Hongtu and the others felt now that such a legendary being had suddenly appeared before them.

Zhao Hongtu was not the only one feeling that way. Even the martial artists from Western Epea were the same.

At that moment, they were filled with disbelief.

They widened their eyes in terror and watched Ye Fan stroll over as if he was a ghost.

“D*mn it! D*mn it! Why are we running into him at this time?”

Ted and Phelp were in a state of panic.

They were truly scared out of their wits, and their minds were blank. Clearly, they did not know what to do next.

After all, their original plan was to attack Li Er and make him give in.

However, Chu Tianfan had appeared now.

Their combat prowess was nothing compared to his.

We don't have a choice. We've got to make a run for it.

The Western Epeans, who were imposing and arrogant earlier, saluted and smiled at Chu Tianfan.

“Oh, you're Mr. Chu Tianfan. Please forgive us for not recognizing you. Well, uh... You must be busy dealing with a lot of things, so we shan't bother you anymore. Good day,” said Ted and Phelp with a bow.

After that, they whirled around and hurried off without waiting for Ye Fan to speak.

They acted as if they were fleeing for their lives.

“Hold up. Did I say you could leave?”

Alas, the cold voice rang out.

Ted's and Phelp's hearts sank to the bottom of their stomachs, and they felt their blood run cold.

“Is there anything else we can do for you, Mr. Chu?” Ted forced a smile, though he looked more guilty than before.

“Jiangdong is my hometown. You've disturbed the place of my cultivation and threatened the people I trust. Do you think you can leave just like that?”

Y Fan's deep voice rang out, his tone thick with hostility.

As he was saying that, his sharp gaze fell on the two foreigners.

“W-What do you want to do? I'm warning you, Chu Tianfan. Don't you think you're undefeatable just because you've killed Chu Yuan. The people on the Empyrean Ranking aren't people you can fight against. If you so much as lay a finger on us, the King of Gods, Odin, won't let you off the hook!”

Ted and Phelp clearly felt the imminent threat of death.

They were so terrified that panic was written all over their faces.

Hence, they bellowed words of threat and even brought up Odin's name in hopes of scaring Ye Fan. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Unfortunately, their words fell on deaf ears.

Ye Fan had not heard of Odin or the Empyrean Ranking.

Even so, it did not matter if he did.

With a personality like his, no one in the world terrified him.

Just as the Western Epeans were looking at him with fear, Ye Fan flicked his sleeve and shoved his palm out.

Incredible energy shot out, and Celestial Hand condensed in front of him.

The terrifying shockwave felt like an attack from the heavens.

Meanwhile, Ted and Phelp watched Celestial Hand fall from the sky.

After a deafening rumble, all that was left on the ground in front of the door was a mound of meat and a deep palm print.

Crimson red blood stained every inch of the palm print.

A dreadful silence followed immediately.

For a moment, no one in the entire Li residence spoke.

Even the people Zhao Hongtu brought were petrified by the terrifying sight before them.

Zhao Hongtu, on the other hand, felt his legs give out, and he slumped to the ground.

As someone involved in the business world for over ten years, he had experienced all kinds of tribulations.

However, the bloody scene still brought an unprecedented blow to him.

The two powerful men were smashed into mounds of meat paste with just one strike from Ye Fan.

From what Zhao Hongtu knew, the foreigners were already incredibly powerful beings.

And now, he could not imagine the extent of Ye Fan's capabilities.

After dealing with the two foreigners, Ye Fan shifted his attention to Zhao Hongtu.

Ye Fan's gaze made Zhao Hongtu feel as if he was being watched by a ferocious tiger, and he could not help but shudder.

“M-Mr. Chu, I-I'm from China, too. W-We're compatriots. I'm here to protect Jiangdong. My name is...” Zhao Hongtu stuttered, trying his best to introduce himself and bring his relationship with Ye Fan closer.

However, Ye Fan gave him a deadpan look.

Hearing that, he shook his head indifferently, saying, “I don't care who you are or where you're from. Anyone who encroaches Jiangdong will not live.”

His words sounded like those from the grim reaper.

Following that, Ye Fan held out his palm in the hall again under the crowd's watchful eyes.

An immense elemental force gathered furiously at his palm until a scorching shockwave flowed out.

The red Qi looked like dancing flames on Ye Fan's palm.

It turned out that he had gathered his refined energy to form a flame.

In the next second, Ye Fan made a pushing motion with his palm and the scorching Qi enveloped Zhao Hongtu's body.

Then, the crimson-red flame shot into the air and devoured Zhao Hongtu.

Agonizing screams filled the air. Just like that, the powerful business giant was reduced to ashes.

Seeing Zhao Hongtu had died, his subordinates fled.

Alas, Ye Fan did not spare a single one of them.

Waves of his Qi flew out like sharp knives, and blood spurted in the air.

Each strike struck the opponents' throats.

Clang! Clang!

Instantly, human heads rolled on the ground.

The once luxurious Li residence had turned into a battlefield at that moment.

The man who ranked first in Sky Ranking had revealed his vicious and fearsome self again after many days.

This time, even Li Er and the others were spooked.

Although Ye Fan had been regarded as a ferocious beast in the world, some believed he was a devil who would kill without batting an eyelid.

However, as far as Li Er knew, Ye Fan was not the kind who liked killing people.

Ye Fan's actions that day were clearly out of the ordinary.

He was utterly ruthless and merciless.

Every move he made did not seem like he was resolving a problem. Rather, he was venting his emotions.

The surprise Li Er felt earlier was replaced with fear. “M-Mr. Chu, w-why are you back?” he asked cautiously, feeling utterly terrified.

Ye Fan did not answer his question.

Instead, he turned around with an icy expression and bellowed, “Get to your knees!”

Rumble!

His words echoed across the Li residence, causing everything to tremble.

Li Er broke out in a cold sweat, and he immediately fell to his knees, trembling.

Even Jin Bao, Yin Bao, and the others did not dare to utter a single word.

They quickly kneeled on the ground like Li Er.

“M-Mr. Chu, I-I don't understand this. W-What's going on?”

Though Li Er had known Ye Fan for many years, his fear of the latter was never gone.
