Chapter 2141
Xu Lei continued talking sense into Ye Fan.
s, Ye Fan was already severely injured and was on the verge of dying.
As Xu Lei held him in her arms, his voice slowly drifted into the air.
“I-I''m really sorry, Lei. I once said I''ll protect you for the rest of your life. But in the end, you''re
keeping mepany instead as I breathe myst on Mount Yunding.”
His words brimmed with helplessness and hopelessness.
Tang Yun''s appearance and her callous attitude ultimately shattered all of his confidence.
There''s no hope anymore.
He knew that there was absolutely no hope left for that battle.
Already at the end of his strength, he was powerless to fight Tang Yun.
Besides, even if he had the power to do so, he didn''t know whether he could bring himself to inflict
harm upon Tang Yun.
Other than him, none of the rest of the people there had the ability to go against her.
“No, don''t give up, Ye Fan. We''ve still got Moon God. She''ll help us hold the head of Chu Sect
back.”
Reluctant to give up just like that, Xu Lei encouraged the man, trying to spark hope within him.
However, Ye Fan shook his head with a sorrowful smile on his face.
“It won''t work. Eigetsu is too severely injured. No matter how incredible Great-grandma''s medical
skills are, she definitely can''t restore Eigetsu to health in a mere day or two. That silly girl is only
battling with a broken body. She won''t be able to hold out for long,” he replied softly.
He had long since seen right through the situation at present.
Tang Yun and Demonic Duo''s appearance would undoubtedly sever all possibility of Dragon God
Hall making aeback.
The instant Xu Lei heard that, thest vestiges of hope within her vanished into thin air.
Tears streamed down her face uncontrobly.
“No, Ye Fan. There''ll certainly be a way. We won''t just lose like this. There must be something we
can do!”
She promptly started bawling.
Unfortunately, Ye Fan had already given up hope ages ago, prepared to head to his death.
Oh well, poor Lei, Eigetsu, and everyone else behind me who pledged allegiance to me!
“Don''t cry, Lei. Even when I''m at the end of the road, I''ll still ensure your safety.”
Reaching out, he wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. He tried his best to curve his lips
and smile at her.
All he wanted was to leave a considerably warm smile for her during thest moments.
After saying all that, he cried out to the sky, “Come here, ckie!”
Woof!
With a long bark, ckie hit the ground on his legs. Sprinting like the wind, it charged over to Ye
Fan.
Perhaps the sight of him in the jaws of death had pity welling within it, for it whimpered mournfully.
Then, it stuck out its tongue and licked the man''s wounds as though doing so would alleviate his
pain.
“What a dumb dog!” Ye Fan chided with a chuckle before patting it on the head.
“I''m entrusting these two girls to you. And bring that kid away as wellter. Considering your speed,
even Tang Yun won''t be able to catch up with you.”
He entrusted Ye Yuyan, Xu Lei, and also Chu Lin to ckie, ordering it to protect them as they took
off.
“No! I''m not leaving! Even if someone is leaving, it should be you, Ye Fan.”
Instantly, greater devastation flooded Xu Lei, and her tears flowed like a faucet.
Burrowing into Ye Fan''s arms, she wailed at the top of her lungs like a baby.
I''ve only reunited with him for a day, and there are lots of heart-to-heart talks I haven''t had the time
to tell him. But now, we''re going to be separated by death again!
Naturally, she found it difficult to ept that fact.
Likewise, Ye Yuyan was sobbing uncontrobly.
“Exactly. You''re the one who should leave, Ye Fan. When you recover from your injuries, you can
surely wipe Chu Sect out. What''s the use of us surviving when we''re weak and fragile? As long as
you live, the martial arts world of Jiangdong and that of the whole of China remains.”
Evidently, she wasn''t willing to leave either.
“I don''t want you to die, Daddy. I''ve already got no Mommy, and I don''t want to also lose my Daddy.”
Even Chu Lin started blubbering.
I haven''t had any news about Mommy in a long time. I don''t want to lose Daddy as well!
They weren''t the only ones. Even ckie howled at Ye Fan incessantly while tugging at his clothes
with its teeth.
From the look of things, it simrly wanted to urge the man to leave.
In the face of their persuasion, Ye Fan merely smiled sadly.
“I''ve gone up against Chu Sect thrice, but I failed all three times. For this final time, hundreds and
thousands of my fellow brothers-in-arms from Dragon God Hall will be paying the price. If I flee
today, how am I to continue living in this world?”
After all, a hero would only be remembered when he stood his ground.

Right then, his heart felt as though it was being ripped to shreds as he watched those from Dragon
God Hall rushing forward into battle like a moth to a me ahead.
Previously, Gaius and the others fought with their lives to ensure my safe retreat. This time, how
could I trade their lives for mine? I''m tired. Verily, I''m worn to a frazzle. I''ve traversed too long a path
and experienced too much pain. I no longer have the strength to continue forging on. Perhaps this
is destiny. I defeated Chu Qitian, Chu Zhengliang, and Chu Yuan. Before that, I even crushed the
entire Chu Sect beneath my feet. But at the end of the day, I still lost to her.
“This is God''s will, Lei. I resign myself to fate.”
Ye Fan gazed up at the sky and smiled, but his face was a mask of destion.
No one knew the great disappointment and despair epassed that sigh.
After fighting for my entire life and having been at death''s door countless times, this is what I get in
exchange.
“All right, go. Live well.” He kissed Xu Lei on the forehead gently. Subsequently, he instructed
ckie to escort them away.
“No, Ye Fan! We''re staying. We''re not leaving...”
Sob! Sob! Sob!
Xu Lei and the others wept interminably, their mourning cries making innumerable others behind
them inexorably shed tears.
Just then, high in the sky ahead, Moon God ended up pulling on her wounds after battling for a long
time.
Tang Yun''s sword struck her squarely.
A gruesome sh wound promptly appeared on her back, and she fell from the sky like a kite with a
broken string.
Like a falling leave and a duckweed, shended on the ground with bright red blood all over her and
guilt brimming within her.
“Eigetsu!”
At the sight of her wounded and fallen, Ye Fan''s heart clenched.
Spurt!
In his grief, he spewed a mouthful of blood. His already pale face turned even more pallid.
“Stop dreaming of leaving, Chu Tianfan! Today, none of you here will be able to escape. I''ll have all
of Jiangdong pay the price today for having injured my master and destroyed my sect!”
Undeniably, Tang Yun''s majesty attained new heights after she had defeated Moon God.
She stood on the horizon proudly with a sword in hand, looking down condescendingly at Ye Fan
and the others as though beholding trees and grass.
Her exquisite face was icy without the slightest hint of emotion.
Aware that all was lost, Ye Fan felt that his death would, at the very least, be worthwhile at her
hands.
His only regret was also dragging down those behind him who pledged allegiance to him.
In thest moments of his life, his gaze slowly swept across the expanse of Mount Yunding.
Then, he took a final look at those from Dragon God Hall and everyone from Jiangdong who
remained loyal to him.
Finally, his eyes stilled at a low tomb a near distance away.
On it was written “the Unrivalled Chu Tianfan.”
Perhaps this is really destiny. A tomb has even been erected for me.
“That''s the cenotaph Mr. Li and the others built for you three years ago. In it are your clothes and
the Sword of Yunyang you used,” Xu Lei exined slowly, noticing the direction of his gaze.
She wasn''t at all afraid despite staring death in the face.
As long as I''m with Ye Fan, there''s nothing to fear about death.
Conversely, when Ye Fan heard that, his initially dim eyes went motionless.
“W-What did you just say, Lei? The Sword of Yunyang is buried here on Mount Yunding?”
