The Man In Rage novel Chapter 2080

Faced with the formidable threat, the concerned Suzumiya Eigetsu dragged her wounded self up to Ye Fan's side.

Tugging Ye Fan's sleeve, she was visibly worried about the upcoming battle.

“Master, the beast has grown a lot stronger after its transformation. You have to be cautious.”

Previously, Moon God had been defeated by Blaze after its second transformation. Since she had failed to even break through its defenses, losing to it was a foregone conclusion.

Now that it had exceeded everyone's expectations and transformed a third time, its physical prowess was elevated to the next level. Consequently, her concern for her master intensified.

“Mmm-hmm. I know,” Ye Fan replied with a frown that was filled with intense conviction.

Just when he was harnessing his energy in preparation for an all-out attack, the group of Chu Sect elders climbed back to their feet and hurried to Chu Qitian's side, whispering something to him.

Chu Qitian was infuriated to hear their words.

“What did you say? You're asking me to retreat? Blaze has achieved its third transformation and become so powerful that nothing can stand in his way. Now that Ye Fan is right for the picking, what is your agenda for asking me to withdraw? Have all of you lost your mind?” Chu Qitian fumed.

However, Chu Sect elders continued to plead with him, “Mr. Chu, this is an order from Old Master. A messenger has arrived to insist on our immediate return, for something has happened in China. Moreover, we still do not know the depths of Chu Tianfan's strength. Even with the alliance of countries back then, we still failed to kill him then.

“Therefore, Mr. Chu, are you certain we can finish him off with Blaze's third transformation? Don't forget that Chu Tianfan is still hiding other trump cards up his sleeves. Just with his physical prowess alone, he has defeated Blaze's first two forms. So, what if he unleashes his ultimate technique? Blaze would be placed in a precarious situation.

“In the event it is defeated, none of us are going to leave Japan alive. Mr. Chu, as a member of the Chu family, you know better than anyone else how formidable Invoke the Celestial Sky can be. Hence, we should first return to China as a precaution. Since it is Chu Tianfan's hometown, he'll go back there sooner or later. When that happens, we can mobilize the strength of the entire Chu Sect to annihilate him. Isn't that a much better plan?”

The elders of Chu Sect were clearly traumatized by the defeats they had previously suffered at Chu Tianfan's hands.

Even though Blaze was unstoppable after its third transformation and Chu Sect clearly had the upper hand, the fear within Chu Sect elders didn't diminish one bit.

They were fearful of Ye Fan turning the tide of battle with another surprise.

By then, death would undoubtedly be their fate.

As the feud between Chu Sect and Ye Fan had been going on for years, the elders were cognizant of the latter's affinity to turn things around.

Throughout the years, there were countless incidents when they had him surrounded and victory was at hand.

This time was naturally no different.

However, Ye Fan always turned the tables on them.

In fact, Chu Qitian, despite having spent more than ten years hunting the former, had allowed Ye Fan to attack his home instead.

Until that day, Chu Qitian's father was still hanging off Mount Chumen, wailing day and night in agony.

As for Chu Sect, they suffered an even worse fate—half of the ten elders had been killed by Ye Fan.

Even though new elders had been chosen to replace those who died, their influence and strength were inferior to their predecessors.

Therefore, they were truly petrified of facing Ye Fan to the extent of preferring to flee despite their advantage in battle.

Consequently, Chu Qitian fell into deep thought, for it was obvious the elders' words had struck a chord with him.

They have a point. Over the decade of pursuing Ye Fan, I would always end up being beaten to pulp just when I thought I had him.

After a brief hesitation, Chu Qitian finally compromised and gave the order to retreat.

“Chu Tianfan, I have decided to let you off today. However, I'll be waiting for you at Jiangdong for our showdown. When the time comes, only one of us will come out alive!”

Chu Qitian's insidious voice reverberated throughout the land.

Just as he spoke, he ordered his men to withdraw. Blaze, acting as the rear guard, would cover their retreat.

With that, the grand army that was supposed to invade Japan marched away from Tokyo and out of Japan's borders.

They headed back to China to rejoin Chu Yuan's Chu Sect army.

“Unrivalled Grandmaster, we can't allow them to flee. Instead, we should pursue and slaughter them all. Otherwise, they would come back for us one day!”
