A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1569

The chaos in city of Jingzhou did not abate. Usually fast asleep by midnight, the city remained wide awake.

With practically every household wide awake, the electrical lights of the cityscape illuminated the entire night sky.

The streets were crammed with people trying to discern what was causing the sound of thunder beyond the horizon.

The streaks of light appeared to be comets from that distance. The only clue that suggested that they were not astronomical objects was that their movements were far from random.

Every time two streaks of light collided with one another, the ground shook menacingly as a deafening boom shook the buildings.

The sparks emitted from clashing weaponry rose upward like embers of a fierce bonfire.

Despite the mystery of the disturbance, it was such a beautiful sight to behold for the inhabitants of Jingzhou that they would undoubtedly stay up just to watch the spectacle.

Some were so consumed by curiosity that they drove toward the source of the noise for a closer look only to discover that the area had been sealed off.

Even more surprising was the tens of thousands of troops stationed there. Operating out of Valeview, the troops had sealed off the area some days prior. It was rumored that the commanding officer of that operation had famously decreed that even birds were not allowed to fly over the area.

“Man, things are getting really bizarre.”

“Even the military is involved.”

“My God...”

“Could there be aliens over there?”

The crowd outside the barricades speculated and gossiped just as much as their counterparts in the city.

Incensed by the maddeningly secretive air about the whole thing, they were convinced that the government was trying to conceal some horrible secret.

The fact of the matter was that they were overthinking it, for the reason for the area to be sealed off was to prevent the spread of any unnecessary fear and panic.

The other more important reason was to prevent the civilians from being injured.

Owing to the years of dedicated training, the strength of the Supreme was superhuman in comparison to regular civilians.

Even the mere emittance of energy was lethal.

When Jingzhou was first alerted by the noise of the battle, the military outpost in Valeview was already in shambles.

With all six Supremes doing battle at one location, the power that radiated outofthe venue was terrifying to behold.

All that could be seen and heard were the flashes of light and the occasional menacing rumble.

To the surprise of the three Supremes of War God Castle, the newcomers were able to do more than hold their ground against their onslaught.

The fight had gotten so intense that they seemed to be equal to one another.

Boom!

With a ferocious swing, Tang Hao brought Meteor Hammer down onto Gaius and sent him flying. Landing in a crumpled heap on the ground, Gaius coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Just when Tang Hao was about to land the killing blow, Gaius was suddenly lifted to his feet by a ray of green light.

Brimming with an abundance of elemental force and unknowable energy, the light seemed to rejuvenate Gaius. Despite being on the brink of death before, the King of Pandera stood tall and proud once more.

Tang Hao gazed at Junie, flabbergasted. It was from her hand the green light had emitted.

From a distance, her slender silhouette beneath the moonlight was surreal in its beauty.

“Hah! Care to go for another round, brother?” Gaius shouted jovially in the face of Tang Hao's shock before swinging a metal fist right at the latter's face.

Thud!

Tang Hao flew some distance back and landed in a heap, sending up sprays of sand.

Being a supreme grandmaster, Gaius' blow was merely a scratch to Tang Hao. In an instant, he sprang back up to his feet.

“Hey, Tang Hao. Give me a hand, would you?”

Just when Tang Hao was about to leap back into the fray, King of Fighter's hoarse voice came from somewhere on his right.

“Good plan! Gaius and the rest will undoubtedly lose for sure without her assistance.”

After ascertaining their plan, the two dashed forward.

Gaius and Owen were soon hot on their heels.

“Get lost!” King of Fighters smashed Owen aside with his fist and made a mad dash toward Junie.

“Oh no. Stop him, Owen! He's going for Junie!” Upon noticing their adversaries' plan, Gaius called out in horror.

“Hah! It's too late. The two of you are going to have your hands full with me!”

Tang Hao appeared and with an almighty roar, and struck his hammer at his foes nine times. Each strike was dealt harder than the last.

The final swing of the hammer, with the weight of the world behind it, caught Gaius and Owen in a trap.

Tang Hao's Fallen Sky was unreservedly employed at that moment.

The tremendous power kept Gaius and Owen so occupied that they could spare no attention in rescuing Junie.

“Oh, no! Get back, Junie!” Gaius shouted.

“I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to! I am going to teach her a lesson for interfering in my fights!” With a triumphant cackle, King of Fighters leaped toward her like a predator tasting blood.

“You've had your chance to surrender, little girl. This is the price to pay for angering China, War God Castle, and me.”

Boom!

Amidst the storm conjured up by his fury, King of Fighters threw a punch with all his might.

Little doubt remained that Junie's frail and meek stature would be vaporized by the impact of the fist.

“You b*stard! Dragon Master will raze your family for this!” Gaius yelled, his eyes bloodshot.

Owen and Cecil gazed at Junie with helpless horror as they were held back by Tang Hao and Sword Saint respectively.
