A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1669

He was not laughing anymore. Instead, he wore an ugly scowl fueled by the rage in his chest that ignited his heart as he glared at his young adversary.

I never would have imagined this youngster to put up such a fight. What would have been a slaughter is turning to be a stalemate. I will be a laughingstock for taking such a long time to eliminate a village boy! At this point, Ye Fan's reputation will be legendary amongst these global leaders as the man who I, Chu Zheng Hang, am unable to kill. This fight has dragged on long enough. Time to wipe him out once and for all. If a hard-fought victory is what is required, it will have to do to ensure that I can still salvage a tiny scrap of dignity.

Ye Fan sneered as he wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. “You sure are confident, aren't you? I've spent enough time with you. Have Chu Zhenghong face me instead. If Chu Yuan is still alive, get him out here while you're at it. My goal today is to raze your entire clan. You and your son are just necessary inconveniences.”

“Hold your tongue!” Chu Zhengliang roared like a provoked lion. “You haven't even bested me yet, b*stard. We'll see if you're still as sure of yourself

when I'm done with you.”

Ye Fan's scathing words had struck a nerve with Chu Zhengliang, who wasted no time in carrying out his promise.

Gritting his teeth in concentration, he gathered his elemental force in preparation to channel Invoke the Celestial Cloud.

As the immense power at his fingertips grew, the skies fell unnaturally silent.

It did not last long. Next, a sudden howl of a furious wind pierced it.

The menacing hum of Chu Zhengliang's elemental force soon drowned out the wind as it accumulated within him and spilled out of his body in its excess.

“Is that...”

“Could it be...”

“Is he going to execute his ultimate move?”

The elders of the Chu family began to lose their composure.

“That b*stard forced Dad to such drastic measures,” Chu Qitian gasped, stepping back in awe.

He was not alone. The entire Chu clan retreated with similarly apprehensive steps.

The Chu Family Protectors at once took their positions and stood before members of the family to shield them from the fearsome power that was going to be unleashed on the battleground.

“What the hell is the Chu family up to?”

“Why are they so frightened?”

“Could they be preparing to make a run for it at the imminent defeat of their patriarch?”

The onlookers began speculating on the reason for the Chu family's fear.

There were, of course, more learned members in the crowd that put together the observations of the family's retreat and Chu Zhengliang's domineering stance.

“I don't think so,” they mused. “Chu Zhengliang seems to be channeling something immense.”

What?” exclaimed Mochizuki Kawa. “Are you saying that there is something even more powerful than the Dragon God Body?”

“Naturally,” Aaron murmured solemnly. “Lest you forget, the patriarch of the Chu family had defeated the alliance of the eighteen nations with this very move during the upheaval all those years ago.”

Karl and the Sword Saint shuddered as one.

“Do you mean...”

“Could it be...”

“THAT move?”

The onlookers exclaimed as one as they recalled the terror.

It's been so many years since the secret technique was employed to lay waste to the enemies of the Chu family. Are we possibly witnessing a repeat of history?

At that point, Chu Zhengliang had completed his channeling.
