The Man In Rage novel Chapter 2171

After a few seconds of complete silence, Carlo asked with his face all pale, “H-Hey, Aaron... What do we do now?”

Those Supreme fighters, who were confidently threatening to kill Ye Fan just minutes ago, found themselves in a dilemma.

Having witnessed Allen get obliterated in one hit, they were afraid they would be the next to share his fate.

However, it would also be extremely humiliating if word got out about Ye Fan scaring off twelve Supremes all by himself.

Pride was extremely important for those in the martial arts world, especially martial arts leaders like Aaron and Carlo.

They knew that running away would not only cause them to lose the fight but also the dignity of their country.

Despite being the Great Emperor of Remdik, Aaron was so overwhelmed with fear that he actually considered retreating.

“M-Maybe we should retreat...” he said hesitantly as he stared at the powerful young man before him.

Unfortunately, not everyone agreed with his suggestion. Some of them were a little more reckless than others.

Being the prideful martial arts leader of Ferropene, Jared refused to back down.

“No way! We mustn't retreat! We're martial arts leaders! How will we carry ourselves in the martial arts world if we let Chu Tianfan scare us into retreating? Besides, he must be at his limits by now! That move he killed Allen with must've used up the last bit of his remaining strength! Trust me; he's definitely in no condition to fight us! All we have to do is charge at him and attack him however we want. Chu Tianfan will surely go down this time!” he shouted confidently.

“Yeah, that makes sense. You can go ahead and be the first to charge, then,” Aaron said.

“You...” Jared's face twitched slightly when he heard that. “F-Fine! I'll go first!”

He then clenched his teeth and turned to look at Ye Fan as he yelled, “I know you've used up your last bit of strength in that attack earlier, Chu Tianfan! Otherwise, you would've continued and finished the rest of us off by now!”

Jared was smart enough to try and taunt Ye Fan verbally instead of attacking right away.

He did that in order to observe Ye Fan's response and confirm his theory.

While it didn't exactly provoke a response from Ye Fan, his words did have an effect on those around him.

Aaron, Carlo, and the others found themselves agreeing with his statement.

Jared is right! Knowing Chu Tianfan, he would've continued the attack and killed us all. So, why did he stop after killing Allen? It's unlikely that he's being merciful, so Jared is probably right about him running out of strength!

Noticing that Carlo and the others were once again preparing to attack, Ye Fan pointed his finger at the ground and fired an energy beam at it.

Boom!

As the smoke cleared and the loud rumbling ceased, the crowd saw a clear line across the ground in front of Treasure Pavilion.

“I will kill anyone who crosses this line. Go ahead and give it a try if you don't believe me!” Ye Fan shouted.

The look on Jared's face changed when he heard that. “You...”

Ye Fan ignored him and shifted his gaze toward the rest of the crowd as he continued, “I will only say this one more time. The Chu Sect now belongs to Dragon God Hall. Those of you who wish to enter Treasure Pavilion will have to cross this line. Whether or not you make it to the treasure alive, however, is a different story.”

Whoosh!

A sudden gust of wind blew past the area, lowering the temperature instantly and sending shivers down everyone's spines.

Even Jared, who was really confident earlier, found himself wavering at that point.

Carlo gave him a nudge and said, “Go on, Jared. Cross the line. We'll be sure to back you up if you survive his attack!”

The look on Jared's face turned gloomy when he heard that.

“F*ck off! Why don't you give it a shot, huh?”

Honestly, the audacity of these people... Sure, everyone goes home happy if my theory turns out to be right. But if I was wrong, I'll lose way more than just the treasure! My life is at stake!

After a brief moment of hesitation, Jared decided it wasn't worth the risk and stepped back.

“Hmph! Keep in mind that you are making yourself an enemy of the entire martial arts world across the globe. You'll come to regret this one day!” he threatened.

“Oh, really? In that case, I'd better kill you first!”
