A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1128

Xur He's cry of pain resounded in the air.

He tried to fight back but failed terribly.

The power that exuded from Ye Fan was as heavy as a mountain as it weighed down on him.

It kept Xur He down and rooted his knees deep in the ground and a pool of blood as blood flowed from his shattered kneecaps stained the earth red.

The 3,000 soldiers behind him had fallen to their knees as well.

They remained kneeling in fear and terror.

In the presence of Ye Fan and his overwhelming power, there was nothing they could do but quake in their boots. They dared not even look him in the eye.

"This...is he really that powerful?"

Li Er and the others were flabbergasted.

Shen Fei couldn't help but yell out in shock.

"Heavens! Mr Chu is incredible. Look at him, he's floating in mid-air and he can stop bullets in their paths. He got the entire army to kneel. He's practically a god!" The young man was caught between shock and utter glee.

Xia Xue looked relieved. The adoration that she had for Ye Fan grew.

"I knew it. Mr Chu wasn't any ordinary man," said the young woman with a smile as her eyes shone brightly.

Chen Ao had frozen to the spot too.

He knew that Mr Chu was a powerful fighter but he had not expected him to be so powerful.

He had gotten 3,000 men to submit to his will with a single shout.

He was a man of flesh and blood, yet he had defied all laws of physics by floating in mid-air and stopping bullets in their paths.

"Is this why you're unafraid of the Xur and Lu families, Mr Chu?" murmured Chen Ao.

It took him a long while to recover from his shock.

The scene before him was beyond anything that he could have imagined.

A few moments ago, he had thought that Ye Fan was going to be finished.

But it appeared that he had worried for nothing.

Ye Fan had been right. He had sufficient power that gave him the right to be unafraid of anything.

But what was he going to do after this battle?

By forcing this army of soldiers to their knees, Ye Fan was challenging the military and the nation.

What awaited him would be a fiercer retaliation.

Xur He was only the third most powerful person in the Xur family. In fact, he barely made the cut.

Even if Ye Fan were to defeat Xur He today, the Xur family would simply mount a stronger attack on Ye Fan to avenge the repeated humiliations and losses that they had suffered.

"Mr Chu has acted too rashly," sighed Chen Ao as he shook his head.

The worry in his eyes deepened instead of easing.

"What's going on? Are those soldiers nuts? Why are they kneeling? Shouldn't they be forcing their way into Haiyuan Restaurant and kill everyone?"

In the distance was Wu Wei-Tao, who had been waiting for Ye Fan to be killed. The sight of the army falling to their knees had stunned him.

His eyes widened in shock.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

“Do you now know why I can kill your nephew, insult your family's honor and make you kneel and beg for your life?"

Ye Fan's tone was laced with ice and his words as sharp as daggers.

With every word he spoke, he took another step forward.

His voice grew louder and his final words erupted like thunder crashing upon the earth.

They whipped up fierce winds that rushed across the lands and tore leaves from trees.

Ye Fan was probably the only man amongst them all who dared speak like this way to a general, a man who had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.

Before Ye Fan and his formidable presence, Xur He appeared like a powerless and pitiful beast that had been brought down to its knees.

Nevertheless, he was still a general.

Despite having been forced to his knees, he continued to laugh brazenly.

"So, you can fly and stop bullets. Your voice can summon storms. Is this what Ye Fan, the almighty Mr Chu is capable of? That must be why you dared to speak so boldly and why you weren't afraid of the Lu family, the Xur family and my vast army of soldiers. This is why!"

"But while you may scare everyone else, punk, you don't scare me. Wang Dong-Sheng and the others are fools who think that you are a god. But you're just a clown in my eyes. You're a martial artist like Wei, aren't you? Wei could beat a hundred soldiers. You were able to kill Wei. It's no surprise that you can take down a thousand men without breaking a sweat."

"But this brute strength of yours doesn't scare me or the Xur family. My elder brother commands the whole of Jiangbei and my father is the founding general and the man who created our nation's special forces. He might have retired but his words still have the power to command the three most powerful special troops in our country. The instructor of the three troops, Long Bai-Chuan, has nothing but respect and admiration for my father. The number of warriors and fighters under the Xur family's command is beyond your imagination. When I return to Yanjing, I will gather these martial artists and come after you!"

Xur He showed no intention of surrendering to Ye Fan.

Instead, he attempted to threaten Ye Fan with the power and influence his elder brother and father had.

Ye Fan burst out into laughter.

"It doesn't matter how many soldiers your brother has under his command or how well-respected your father is. None of that is going to help you kill me."
