Logically speaking, Ye Fan was doing everyone in the martial arts world a favor by eliminating Chu Sect, so Aaron and the others should be thanking him instead.
Unfortunately, logic did not exist in this materialistic world.
The only thing that everyone cared about was how they could profit from others.
As Ye Fan's existence would prevent them from maximizing their profits, it was only natural that they would try to get rid of him.
In fact, they had been wanting to get rid of him ever since he rose to the top while in his twenties.
Chu Yuan was able to form an alliance with other martial artists in different countries to take Ye Fan down back then.
However, they did not team up with him because he forced them to.
Instead, they only agreed to ally with him because Ye Fan was too powerful.
In order to prevent Ye Fan from reviving the martial arts world of China, they deemed it necessary to get rid of him.
Aaron and the others had assumed Ye Fan was dead after that assault, only to see him make a comeback a few years later.
As if that wasn't bad enough, Ye Fan had become so much more powerful that he even managed to defeat Chu Yuan.
Judging by the way things were progressing, it was highly possible that Ye Fan would become the next Chu Yuan.
If that were to happen, then Dragon God Hall would surely become the next Chu Sect as well.
The fear of those situations was what drove Aaron and the others to try and kill Ye Fan, especially while he was still weak from the previous battle.
Due to the current state of Dragon God Hall, the other martial arts worlds saw it as a golden opportunity to kick the dog while it was down.
As powerful as Ye Fan may be, there's no way he can defeat us all while injured!
With that in mind, Allen and a total of twelve Supreme fighters charged at Ye Fan.
The look in Ye Fan's eyes was as cold as ice when he saw the powerful Qi surging toward him.
Heh... Why does this scene look so familiar? Oh, that's right. After losing the battle on Mount Chumen, I barely managed to escape with my life under the protection of Gaius and the others. I thought I was safe, only to have thirteen Supreme fighters jump out of hiding and surround me on all sides. Had Tang Yun not protected me from the thirteen assassins that night, I would've died on Mount Chumen. That would've saved Chu Yuan the trouble of coming over to Eastsea.
With a wry smile on his face, Ye Fan asked, “You guys were the ones in black who attacked me on Mount Chumen back then, huh?”
A lot had changed ever since that incident took place three years ago.
However, even with Chu Yuan and Chu Sect gone, the cruel hearts of the people remained unchanged.
Ye Fan and those from Dragon God Hall had defended all the martial arts worlds from the Chu Sect.
They had sacrificed so much to restore peace and harmony to the world, and yet, people still hunted them down for the sake of profits.
“There's no point in asking about that now, Chu Tianfan! You're shouldering the lives of so many martial artists! Just remember that this is payback for the massacre that took place in the Adrunian rainforest!” replied one of the Supreme fighters while glaring viciously at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan shook his head helplessly in response.
“To be honest, I was planning on letting bygones be bygones. If we do not let the past remain in the past, then it will keep haunting us forever. Since you guys insist on bringing up the past, then I shall have no choice but to play along. Let us settle our score once and for all.”
Ye Fan knew there was no talking them out of it, so he didn't want to say anything further.
The next thing they knew, a strong wave of energy erupted from Ye Fan's body as his majestic voice reverberated in the air.
“First Form of Invoke the Celestial Sky: Cloud Sun Kick!”
Boom!
All they saw was the blurry afterimage of a figure soaring into the sky.
A few seconds later, Ye Fan came zooming toward them while delivering a powerful stomp.
It looked like the universe was stepping onto Earth with the force of a dragon emerging from its nest. The powerful aura was like a beam of light that penetrated the infinite darkness.
