Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

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!”

The look in Ye Fan's eyes grew cold as he raised his arm and continued in an ethereal voice, “Invoke

the Celestial Sky...”

What?

Jared was so terrified that he nearly wet himself when he heard that.

Like a mouse that had seen a cat, he turned around and ran as quickly as his legs could carry him.

F*ck you, Chu Tianfan! You lying b*stard! You said you'd only kill those who crossed the line! No, this

isn't the time to be thinking about that! He killed Allen with Invoke the Celestial Sky earlier! I'll most

likely join Allen in death if I get hit by it!

Not wanting to end up dead, Jared focused all of his energy on his legs and continued running at full

speed.

In just the blink of an eye, he had left Mount Chumen and disappeared from sight.

Unbeknownst to Jared, his act of fleeing triggered a domino effect and prompted most of the martial

artists to flee as well.

Even Aaron, Carlo, and the other prominent figures in the martial arts world instinctively retreated.

Just like that, Ye Fan's mere words had successfully scared most of the martial artists off Mount

Chumen.

“Hahaha! I was just kidding! Why are you all leaving in such a hurry?” Ye Fan asked with a chuckle as

he put his arm down.

Han, Gaius, and all the other members of Dragon God Hall burst out laughing as well.

“Hahahahahaha!”

“You guys are all trash!”

“I'm surprised you cowards had the guts to challenge Dragon Master!”

“They sure overestimated themselves!”

The laughter from the members of Dragon God Hall echoed throughout Mount Chumen.

Aaron and the others burned bright red in embarrassment when they realized Ye Fan tricked them.

“That b*stard!”

Aaron glared daggers at Ye Fan from afar.

He was livid with rage, but there was nothing he could do about it except retreat to safety.

With all those people gone, peace was restored to Mount Chumen.

“Haha! You were amazing, Dragon Master!”

“Yeah! You scared off all those martial artists all by yourself!”

“From now on, you'll be regarded as the most powerful person in the world!”

“And Dragon God Hall will replace Chu Sect as the most powerful force in the world!”

They had assumed things would turn ugly at first, but Ye Fan had resolved the crisis with ease.

The members of Dragon God Hall couldn't help but admire Ye Fan's ability to handle difficult situations

in the most ideal way possible.

Ye Fan simply ignored their compliments and had Han bring him a glass of water.

“Are you okay, Young Master? You look very pale!”

That was when Han realized Ye Fan's face had turned pale as cold sweat trickled continuously down

his forehead.

Ye Fan kept quiet and took the glass of water over with trembling hands.

To everyone's horror, the clear water was stained red the moment Ye Fan took a sip of it.

Han gasped in shock when he saw that. “Dragon Master! What's—”

Ye Fan then coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, turning the entire glass of water red in an instant.

A few seconds later, the glass slipped out of his hand and shattered on the ground.
