Chapter 1609
Ye Fan spoke with regality, his sonorous voice garnering reverence of all who heard.
It was as if he were a monarch returning to take control of his country.
He stomped on the ground forcefully.
With a loud rumble, the earth quaked. A rune appeared beneath the feet of the four greatest Dragon yers.
Abeam of light shot toward the sky, engulfing the four men.
Soon after, Ye Fan''s imposing voice reverberated through the area, “Heed mymand, Dragon yers. Release your Qi and
assemble!”
The moment the order left Ye Fan''s lips, Gaius and the rest of his troop hollered and unleashed a st of energy.
At the same time, the four men extended their arms and touched their palms to the person beside them.
In a split second, their breaths synchronized as they seemed to merge into one.
Just then, Ye Fan surveyed his surroundings and summoned, “Thunder!”
Aresounding boom shook the earth.
Strong gusts of wind swept the clouds across the sky and churned the seas.
A thundercloud drew near from the distance as if someone hadssoed it in. It was the epitome of impending doom.
Lightning struck downward.
Like a silvery dragon soaring through the clouds, the sh of light shot through the sky.
The four men were instantly enveloped in blinding white light.
Gaius and his men never imagined that when Ye Fan said he would call upon the heavens and the earth, he meant that he would
strike them with lightning.
They were on the brink of despair.
Thunder and lightning ruled the skies. How are we
going to survive a lightning bolt?
Unfortunately, by the time they grasped Ye Fan''s true intentions, it was toote for them.
The thick, heavy thundercloud descended upon them, taking them into the belly of the beast with its imaginary maw.
Excruciating pain coursed through their bodies.
Despite being Supreme martial artists, the torture was too much for them to bear as they went berserk.
“Argh!”
Their agonized howls pierced the still air of the valley.
It felt like they were trudging through hellfire; the burning sensation that overtook them drove them insane.
Multiple times, they felt like they had been pulverized by the thunderp.
They were already on the verge of breaking down—a volt higher and they would have passed out immediately.
However, whenever they got to the edge of that cliff, ready to plummet to their death, the lightning would weaken just enough for
them to catch a few breaths before it reverted to its original intensity.
It was as if someone was maniptingthe thunderp, forcing Gaius and his men to dance perilously between life and death,
oblivion and alertness.
Time ticked by slowly.
The torment continued for the four men, unrelenting and unremitting.
Their blood-curdling screams echoed throughout the mountains.
They could almost distinguish the sounds of their bones cracking under the deafening boom of thunder.
Ye Fan stood a short distance away, his expression stoic as he watched his subordinates writhe in pain.
It was as if their anguish did not faze him.
He calmly watched them pace before the doors of death.
However, his serenity originated not from a ce of cruelty but rather from the knowledge that growth came with a hefty price—
just like a piece of crude metal would have to be subjected to raging fire to be cast into a fine sword.
Pain was inevitable, but what did not kill them would make them stronger.
To Ye Fan, the four Dragon yers was that piece of crude metal, the thunderp was the fire, and Ye Fan, the desmith.
With the Dragon yers as metal, the earth as the furnace, and the thunder as fire, Ye Fan would forge a sword that could
conquer the world.
“Ye Fan, Ye Fan!”
Just as Ye Fan was observing the transformation of the Dragon yers, a sweet voice called out to him.
Ye Fan turned around to see a gorgeous woman running toward him, her pretty face filled with distraught.
Shocked, Ye Fan hastily warned, “Junie, don''te here!”
However, it was already toote.
Junie had already reached the foot of the mountain.
Tendrils of energy emerged from the thunderp surged toward Junie.
“No!” With a panicked cry, Ye Fan shot toward Junie like an arrow released from its bow.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
In the blink of an eye, he materialized in front of Junie. With a flourish of his sleeve, he released a rush of elemental force that
crashed into the thunderp, disintegrating it instantly upon impact.
He then wrapped an arm around Junie''s waist and, with a powerful jump, rescued her from the valley of thunder.
“You rascal, why didn''t you stay at Xijiang as you were told? Had I not saved you just now, you would have turned into dust!” Ye
Han reprimanded Junie after they reached a safe spot.
“Why are you being so mean? It''s not like | knew that ce was so dangerous.” Chastened, Junie defended herself timidly with
her head bowed.
She looked like a young girl who had been bullied.
Ye Fan might be the only person to see the vulnerable side of the renowned goddess.
“Tell me, why were you looking for me?” Ye Fan''s anger had dissipated quickly at the sight of the woman''s forlorn expression, but
he maintained a cold facade as he prompted her to speak.
Ye Fan''s question brought Junie back to her senses. “Ye Fan, something''s wrong,” she said with urgency. “Your wife has been
kidnapped from Yunzhou. The kidnapper said that if you don''t appear within the next three days, you won''t even get to see Qiu
Mucheng''s remains.”
There was a rumble in the distance.
Ye Fan emanated an air of murderous intent that swirled around him like a hurricane.
It scattered the gravel beneath their feet and tossed the fallen leaves.
The temperature dropped to sub-zero degrees.
In seconds, the sense of imminent danger pervaded the entire area, the tension so high that it was palpable.
Everyone had a line that must not be crossed for fear of evoking their wrath, and for Ve Fan, Qiu Mucheng was that line.
Anyone who dared to mess with her would have to face death.
It was already night at Yunzhou.
Rain poured from the heavens.
The sky grew gloomier as the rain fell harder.
Droplets of rain plopped into Yunwu Lake, forming ripples on the quiet surface.
Asmall boat bobbed gently in the center of theke as it followed the motion of the undting water.
On the board sat Qiu Mucheng, her clothes soaking wet. Deprived of an appropriate cover, her frail body trembled in the cold
breeze.
Meng Wanyu noticed Qiu Mucheng''s situation from where she sat.

“And if he doesn''te? Doesn''t that mean that all your efforts are in vain?” Qiu Mucheng asked.
Shaking her head, Meng Wanyu disagreed, “Not entirely. If he doesn''t show up, you, Angie and | will get to see what a ruthless
person he is.”
“If Ye Fan callously puts his wife on

Qiu Mucheng''s head drooped lower with each word
Meng Wanyu uttered, overwhelmed by inexplicable dejection.
The rational part of her hoped that Ye Fan would not fall for the trap.
However, the other half of her could not help but wish that nothing would deter her beloved husband froming to her rescue.
Qiu Mucheng was a jumble of emotions.
She was afraid to see Ye Fan appear, yet she also yearned for his presence.
