A riot of emotions brewed within Ye Fan as he faced off Tang Yun once again.
In this world, perhaps the last battle he wanted to fight was with her.
During the battle with the Chu Sect previously, he once crushed her pride in public, shattering her majesty as the head of the Chu Sect into smithereens.
He had no idea of how she felt then when he defeated her at that time.
Nonetheless, he was sure that she must have been devastated.
Ultimately, she was a proud woman who regarded her reputation as even more important than her life.
Yet, he still crushed her pride mercilessly.
However, he had no choice either when she was the head of Chu Sect.
As long as she held that position, they were on opposing sides.
Just like this time, it felt as though history was repeating itself once more.
They were again at daggers drawn.
“I'm sorry, Yun. This time, I'm still not going to cut you any slack. Eliminating Chu Sect and obliterating Chu Sect is my lifelong ambition and mission. Even you aren't capable of shaking my faith. I must win in this battle to come. It's not just for my dream but for Gaius, Owen, Dragon God Hall, and everyone supporting me. Therefore, I'm sorry, Yun. This time, I have to destroy your sect and career personally. Other than this, I've got no other recourse.”
Ye Fan stood there with neither joy nor sorrow on his handsome face.
His impassive words quietly drifted into the air all around them.
I know I'll have to disappoint her again this time. But my hands are tied. I've got no other choice! Given a choice between the nation and love, I can only choose not to let the people of this nation down.
“Forgive me, Yun,” he murmured in a deep voice with his head hung and eyes lowered.
His words brimmed with solemnity and guilt.
As he journeyed through life all these years, he had never wanted to wrong or fail anyone.
Alas, life was unpredictable.
At the end of the day, he still disappointed some people.
Once, he left Qiu Mucheng in the lurch because of his pursuits.
This time, he was also destined to forsake Tang Yun, the woman who once abandoned her sect and gave up a life of luxury and prestige for his sake.
In the face of his words, Tang Yun, who was standing before him, didn't show the slightest hint of fury.
Instead, there was a tinge of bewilderment and bafflement in her eyes.
As for the rest of those from Chu Sect, they all eyed Ye Fan as though he had lost his mind.
“First of all, we're strangers. I'm not your Yun. Our stances are different, so there's no need for you to speak of letting me down. Secondly, I have no idea where you've got the confidence to utter everything you did earlier. Do you think there's any possibility of you defeating me in your present condition? I reckon it must be agonizing for you to even remain standing right now, let alone defeat me. In fact, Demonic Duo can finish you off on my behalf without me having to lift a finger.”
Tang Yun's cold voice rang out.
Her tone was so placid that it was impossible for one to discern any of her emotions.
The look in her eyes as she stared at Ye Fan was also dispassionate.
It was clear as day that she had truly forgotten about him and had absolutely no recollection of him.
“Yun! Why are you still not acting? End the battle quickly!”
Chu Yuan's voice pierced the air once more.
He couldn't wait any longer, eager to witness the scene of Ye Fan's annihilation.
“Never mind, he doesn't pose a threat anymore, so you don't need to act personally. Heed my command, Demonic Duo! Cut Chu Tianfan down right here and now as quickly as possible!” Chu Yuan ordered.
Demonic Duo, who were fighting Gaius and the others, left the battle at once.
Like an arrow, they then flew toward Ye Fan.
“Demonic Palm!”
“Demonic Palm!”
Not bothering with superfluous words, the two guardians of the Chu family unleashed their powers right after receiving their orders.
Their gigantic fists shot toward the man, carrying an infinite destructive force.
A terrifying Qi swept across the entire place with a sonic boom that sounded like the clap of thunder.
That overwhelming burst of power had hopelessness swamping Xu Lei and the others.
“Dodge, Ye Fan!”
“Watch out, Ye Fan!”
“Mr. Chu!”
Sensing the petrifying might of the Demonic Duo, the people of Jiangdong behind Ye Fan went pale in shock.
