Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 2211

“Everything else is in place, and this is a critical moment for our plan. There will be no room for error. Don't stir up trouble during this crucial period. Come back with me at once,” said the lady indifferently.

“But...” Chen Jiuzhou was reluctant to do as told, but upon meeting his master's icy cold glare, Chen Jiuzhou swallowed the words at the tip of his tongue.

Left without a choice, he could only withdraw his aura and submit to the woman by trailing obediently behind her.

Nevertheless, as soon as Chen Jiuzhou turned around, the Sword of Yunyang slashed downward with overwhelming sword energy.

Sensing impending danger, Chen Jiuzhou's hair stood on end while he took an instinctive step backward.

Even so, the blade still pierced Chen Jiuzhou's arm, tearing through his sleeve. Blood trickled down his arm and dripped on the ground.

“Are you courting death?” Chen Jiuzhou roared, flying into a rage.

His aura, which had dissipated earlier, returned with the force of an ocean.

Raising his fists, he was ready to fight Ye Fan to the death.

However, Mu Zihua stopped Chen Jiuzhou the second after his outburst.

“Are you defying me now? You know the consequences of ruining the big picture!”

Mu Zihua's cold voice sent a shudder down Chen Jiuzhou's spine.

He clenched his fists to once again subdue the rage rising in his chest.

The murderous look in his eyes when he stared at Ye Fan did not wane in the slightest, however.

After subjugating Chen Jiuzhou, Mu Zihua's icy glare fell on Ye Fan. “Know your limits, young man. Let this go. Otherwise, you will only cause your own demise.”

Though Mu Zihua's tone was bland, her curt advice was laced with threat.

She was warning Ye Fan to give up, telling him that they were showing him mercy and that he should take it instead of persisting and bringing trouble upon himself.

However, Ye Fan did not pay Mu Zihua's words any mind as the Sword of Yunyang remained firmly in his grip.

The bloodlust emanating from him did not diminish at all.

“Let this go, you say? Do you think you can just walk in and out of Jiangdong as you please? This is my turf! You brought devastation upon Jiangdong and harmed my loved ones. How will I appease my people if I do not slay Chen Jiuzhou today?”

Ye Fan refused to back down.

Even though Chen Jiuzhou had decided to retreat, Ye Fan did not intend to let him go.

Ye Qingtian and the rest began to panic.

“Let's drop it, Ye Fan. Don't be impulsive. If you fight, you will very likely be the one to lose.”

Ye Qingtian did not want the battle to happen in the first place, and since Chen Jiuzhou took the initiative to retreat, the former was naturally happy about the outcome.

However, to his dismay, Ye Fan showed no intention of letting things slide.

He was, instead, determined to fight.

Xiao Chen and the rest thought Ye Fan had lost his mind.

It is plain that Chen Jiuzhou's power far exceeded Ye Fan's. Furthermore, Chen Jiuzhou's master is now here. She is Mu Zihua, a warrior listed on the Empyrean Ranking!

Xiao Chen and the others were confident that Ye Fan would not stand a chance against the combined power of the master-and-apprentice duo.

Though Mu Zihua's words were harsh, she was stating a fact.

Ye Fan would only cause his own demise if he persisted.

“That's right, Mr. Chu. Let this go.”

Li Er was similarly anxious.

He was worried about Ye Fan being in mortal danger if Chen Jiuzhou and company were enraged.

No matter how hard they tried to persuade him, Ye Fan's resolve remained unwavering.

“Chen Jiuzhou must die! If he does not, Jiangdong will never have peace!”

Ye Fan was not trying to vent his anger through the battle that day.

Instead, he declared the battle to resolve the crisis Jiangdong was facing once and for all.

Otherwise, if he let Chen Jiuzhou go and the latter made a comeback in the future, Jiangdong would face an unmitigable disaster.

Mu Zihua seemed to have discerned Ye Fan's concerns, and her soft voice sounded. “I promise you that War God Castle will not set foot in Jiangdong from now on. Also, Chen Jiuzhou will never harm Jiangdong. You don't have to worry about anything in the future.”

Though Ye Qingtian and the others were curious as to why Mu Zihua was willing to make compromises, they thought the best outcome was to prevent war and restore peace.

“Did you hear what Moryana said, Ye Fan? Step aside! Are you insisting on keeping this up until the situation spirals out of control?”

Exasperated, Ye Qingtian once again tried convincing Ye Fan to give up.

Li Er was also trying his best to stop Ye Fan from proceeding with the battle.

Chen Jiuzhou was not satisfied. “Master, why should we be afraid of this jerk? Why should we fulfill his request? I promise to make this quick and finish him off right away. Will that do?”

Chen Jiuzhou stubbornly asked for Mu Zihua's permission to fight against Ye Fan.

However, Mu Zihua shot him a glare after that, forcing him to suppress his desires.

As arrogant and prideful as Chen Jiuzhou, he was fearful and subservient in the face of Mu Zihua.

However, despite everyone's persuasions, Ye Fan did not change his mind.

After everything he had gone through, Ye Fan no longer had any trust in them.

He was no stranger to vain promises and backstabbing.

First it was the Chu family, then the International Martial Arts Union, and now War God Castle. These people aren't trustworthy at all. The only type of people I could trust in this world were dead ones. This

is how the world works. To fear or be feared. Only blood and slaughter will instill fear into them and deter them from harming Jiangdong.

“Enough. Come at me, both of you. I, Chu Tianfan, will get rid of you both today.”

Ye Fan's chilling words shocked everyone to the core.

Ye Qingtian and the others were flabbergasted.

Mo Wuya, on the other hand, stared at Ye Fan like he was an idiot. Is he out of his mind? Is he seriously going to fight them both at the same time? He didn't even beat Jiuzhou earlier! After so many years, he's still as arrogant as ever. It's a miracle that he's even still alive.

“Did you hear that, Master? It's not that I'm defying you. This fellow insists on getting himself killed. Look how arrogant he is! He's even intending to take on you! I will tear him into pieces today! How dare a brat like him blaspheme someone of your prestige?”

Chen Jiuzhou's fury boiled over, and his bloodthirst could no longer be concealed.

Mu Zihua's expression turned similarly grim.

Her patience appeared to have reached its limit.

“It's over. It's all over...”

Ye Qingtian realized that an all-out war was inevitable.

Ye Fan's words have enraged Moryana.

Whoosh!

A cold wind from Summerbank howled over Yunzhou.

Ye Fan raised his sword, ready to unleash the Cloud and Mist Sword Technique.

Cold as ice, Mu Zihua's aura began swirling around her.

Just when the fight was about to break out, a gentle cry sounded from afar. “Ye Fan!”

Ye Fan froze at that voice, his mind going blank.

Is that...?

Spinning around, Ye Fan gazed into the distance, where he saw a charming young lady riding a dog, coming toward him.

“Y-You're awake, Angie?”

Ye Fan's voice tremored.

The young lady who suddenly appeared before him was none other than Angie, who had been unconscious for over a year. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Beaming with joy, she nuzzled against Ye Fan's embrace.

Her intoxicating beauty, porcelain skin, as well as her elegant figure, were too perfect to exist in reality. It looked as if she had stepped out of a famous painting, capturing the hearts of all who beheld her.

The only imperfection was her eyes, which were wrapped with fine gauze.
