A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1729

The members of Chu Sect vividly recalled how the intruder who stood before them had nearly stomped Chu Qitian to death.

It was rumored that the injury was so grievous that he was still recuperating despite it being already a month. Even his survival was not yet certain.

The defenders who had gathered were hoping that they would have been able to force Ye Fan to retreat at the threat of Tang Yun's involvement alone.

If they could help it, they would not wish to have to engage in combat against Ye Fan.

Ye Fan did not seem fazed by the resistance he was met with.

With an almighty stomp, a shockwave sent the dozen who stood closest to him flying backward.

“Stand in my way again and you shall die a painful death!” Ye Fan bellowed.

The fury in his voice was so immense that the surrounding rocks rumbled ominously from the resonance of the force.

From that mere demonstration of power, the terrified defenders concurred that Ye Fan's position atop the Sky Ranking alongside Tang Yun was well deserved.

Even his voice commanded such presence.

In an instant, the defenders that were dispatched to halt his ascension felt a stab of intense fear.

Despite being a couple of dozen out of thousands of followers of the most powerful house in the world surrounding a single measly-armed man, the defenders found themselves hesitant to step forth.

Every single one of them took an uncertain step backward, their faces wary and frightened.

Any observer who stood beneath Mount Chumen at that moment would have had their eyes clasped upon a strange scene.

An intimidating group of armed warriors being forced backward by the advance of a solitary young man.

It looks more like Ye Fan single-handedly surrounding Chu Sect instead of it being the other way around!

“What are you all standing around for?” a voice yelled. “Imbeciles! Look around, you have him

heavily outnumbered! If that's not enough, Tang Yun and Chu Yuan have your back! The leader of the Sky Ranking and a warrior of the god realm to boot. What the hell are you afraid of? Go!”

Chu Shen had encountered the confrontation upon his descent down the mountain. After regaining his composure after his initial surprise at Ye Fan's reappearance atop Mount Chumen, he yelled in consternation at the cowardice of his men.

“Go, you fools!” he roared, incensed by the men's hesitation. “I will inform Ms. Tang at once and backup will be along shortly!”

Without another word, Chu Shen turned around and ran back up the steps.

As Chu Yuan had shut himself away in solitary training, the other person who came to Chu Shen's mind was Tang Yun, the leader of Chu Sect.

“He's right, you know.”

“Why should we be afraid of him?”

“We are fighting for Chu Sect! Ms. Tang and Chu Yuan have our backs.”

“Let's charge at him together!” “Block his path!”

Earlier, fear had worked its way into the crowd. Naturally, courage had the potential to do the same.

After Chu Shen's rallying cry, the braver ones who were most affected stood out and instigated the rest.

With their shouts of encouragement at each other, the rest once again fell into the rhythm of battle.
