The Man In Rage novel Chapter 1045

"Esteemed senior, I don't understand...we bear no grudge against each other. Why did you attack me? Aren't you worried about offending my master, the Ice Emperor? You might be extremely well-respected, but my master is your equal. He, too, is a member of War God Castle and one of the six pillars of China. I'm his disciple and you've just attacked and insulted my honor. Aren't you worried that my master may come after you?”

Wei Wu-Ya clenched his jaw as he struggled to his feet.

There was blood pooling in his mouth. He struggled to withstand the agonizing pain throbbing in his chest as he yelled threateningly at the woman before him.

His low, growling voice was filled with fury and resentment.

Wei Wu-Ya was the disciple of a supreme grandmaster who hailed from War God Castle. He was ranked number nine in the ranking for Chinese martial arts grandmasters.

He too, was a well-respected figure in the Chinese martial arts circle.

Even the head of the powerful Xur family had to treat him with some degree of respect.

Since he had become a grandmaster, everyone whom he had met everywhere had treated him with nothing but awe and respect. He had not suffered any disrespect or insult before.

But this woman had hit him without any reason and even injured him severely.

Even Buddha had his moments of anger and Wei Wu-Ya was no Buddha. He was a man who had basked in privilege.

He would have gotten to his feet and challenged her to a fight if he didn't already know that he wasn't her match at all.

That didn't mean that he didn't burn with resentment. That had been why he had tried to intimidate her with the mention of his master's name.

Yu Yun appeared unfazed.

She simply stood there, her petite form towering over the fallen figure of Wei Wu-Ya.

"Come after me?" Her voice was filled with scorn. "You're talking about the Ice Emperor, the man who couldn't get into the top three positions in War God Castle's ranking. Do you really think I'll feel threatened by him? The Ice Emperor himself would not have dared to utter the words that you've just said."

Yu Yun shook her head. Her voice sounded cold and proud.

She slowly lifted the sword in her hand, the slight movement of her arm summoning howling winds in an instant.

The sight sent fear coursing through everyone's blood.

Ye Tian and the rest gasped in shock.

This young woman seemed to be able to wield the very forces of nature with a single gesture.

"Heavens, who is she?"

As the others stood frozen in shock and tear, Wei Wu-Ya felt the looming threat of death approach.

Yu Yun seemed angry and her words laced with the threat of violence.

"What...what do you think you're doing?" Panic coursed through the man as he paled and stumbled back.

Yu Yun did not seem to have heard him.

With her sword in hand, she glided gracefully and slowly towards Wei Wu-Ya.

The aura of murderous intent exuding from her intensified with every step she took until the air around her was heavy with the threat of violence and death.

"You...you can't kill me. I'm a Chinese grandmaster, so I'm protected by War God Castle. My master, like you, is one of the pillars of the nation. He's not going to let you off if you kill me," yelled Wei Wu-Ya

fearfully.

The look on Yu Yun remained cold and unfeeling. "That's not going to stop me from killing you. In fact, I would kill you even if you were the disciple of the God of War, Ye Qing-Tian himself. You made a mistake when you tried to threaten me by mentioning his name."

A horrifying realization struck Wei Wu-Ya then.

"You're...you're not the Phoenix Empress. Who are you?" yelled Wei Wu-Ya. Terror filled his eyes as he stared at the approaching young woman.

"The Phoenix Empress? That woman isn't even worthy of being my servant," said the young woman with a voice as cold and unmoving as the snow-capped peaks of ancient mountains.

A streak of light cut through the night the next moment.

It was the cold moonlight reflecting off her equally cold blade.
