Chapter 2222


    The attack surprised Ye Fan.


    With no other choice, he intercepted the assants behind him even though thebined attack of


    Sword Saint and the others didn''t pose a deadly threat to him.


    With a casual palm strike, he blocked his enemies'' united assault.


    Meanwhile, Chen Jiuzhou, whose strength was on a simr level to Ye Fan''s, was still charging straight


    toward thetter.


    As the saying went, the only possible oue between two expert fighters was either life or death.


    Being distracted for just a short moment in such a battle would be enough to change the tide of the


    encounter.


    After Ye Fan repelled Sword Saint and the others, he hastily blocked Chen Jiuzhou''s flurry of shes.


    As his fist shed against his opponent''s de, a shockwave exploded in all directions.


    Despite his efforts, Ye Fan lost the contest of strength a few secondster.


    As a result, Chen Jiuzhounded a solid hit on Ye Fan with his ming sword.


    Ye Fan grunted as he wasunched a thousand meters away like a cannonball, crashing through


    multiple hills before copsing above a pile of ruins.


    With that, blood spilled from his mouth.


    “Don''t let him escape! I won''t forgive him for destroying China''s treasure!”


    “That''s right! I thought that, while Chu Tianfan is a little arrogant, he still cares about China, but it


    seems like we''ve overestimated him. It''s hard to believe this loser''s trying to destroy the future of


    China''s martial arts world. I bet it''s because he can''t stand seeing someone else be powerful!


    He''s an evil man!”


    “After what he had done, we must get rid of him!”


    The crowd of martial artists on the foot of Mount Yan was chattering with righteous indignation.


    While they originally revered him, they couldn''t help but hate him for putting his hands on the Dragon


    Gate and attempting to steal the treasure of China''s martial arts world, which would destroy everyone''s


    dream.


    Kong Ming and Lu Yanxi were especially disappointed in Ye Fan.


    “Why did Mr. Chu end up like this? I recall he was an admired hero back then, yet now he''s trying to


    snatch our opportunity away from us, who are nobodiespared to him.” Lu Yanxi sighed.


    Ye Fan''s image in her mind was greatly tarnished because she couldn''t understand why he would do


    such a thing.


    Hundreds of martial artists on Mount Yan raised their weapons and hollered as they rushed toward the


    spot Ye Fan crashed into.


    The massive crowd surrounded Ye Fan before pointing their des in his direction in an instant.


    Aside from them, Ye Qingtian and the others also made their way there and gazed at the bloody Ye


    Fan condescendingly.


    Facing the crowd''s cold re, Ye Fan stood, peered at Ye Qingtian and the other two, andughed.


    His mockingughter shook the earth, though no one detected the sorrow in his voice.


    “You can''t me us for our actions, Ye Fan. You were the one who went overboard! We had no choice


    but to attack you for the sake of the country''s future!” Ye Qingtian eximed after understanding the


    intent behind Ye Fan''sughter.


    While he felt apologetic for Ye Fan''s wounds, he would''ve still done the same thing if given a choice.


    He couldn''t sit by and watch Dragon Gate Project, the future of China''s martial arts world, be


    destroyed.


    “You know, I''vee to regret saving all of you when Chu Sect waged its war. Perhaps dying to Chu


    Yuan would''ve been your greatest contribution to China''s martial arts world!” sneered Ye Fan. I never


    could''ve imagined Ye Qingtian and the others would assault me, much less ambush me. And to think I


    treated Ye Qingtian as a friend and thought War God Castle was an honest organization. It seems like


    all of it was merely wishful thinking on my part.


    Ye Qingtian and the others didn''t respond to Ye Fan''s mockery, likely because they felt guilty. However,


    Zhao Zhenlu, who was severely injured by Ye Fan earlier, went along with the crowd''s prevailing


    sentiment and rebuked, “Stop spouting nonsense, Chu Tianfan. It was thanks to thebined effort of


    all martial artists from across the globe that the war against Chu Sect was won. While China''s martial


    arts world suffered great losses, you reaped all the fame and fortune that came with that victory. You


    don''t have the right to mention that battle!”


    His speech pushed the crowd''s hatred and disgust toward Ye Fan to its limits because they were


    already quite furious with Ye Fan.


    A random martial artist shouted, “Mr. Zhao''s right! You killed yourpatriots during the battle of


    Jiangbei. In Yunzhou, you refused to respect Hall Master. Today, you tried to destroy Dragon Gate!


    Your sins are uncountable! You have no right toe to Mount Yan and say those things to War God!


    You deserve death as punishment!”


    “Yeah! You deserve to die!”


    “Die!”


    Swiftly, the martial artists on Mount Yan reprimanded Ye Fan.


    Many raised their swords, ready to take Ye Fan''s life with Chen Jiuzhou.


    After regarding the angry martial artists beneath him, Chen Jiuzhou gloated smugly and pridefully as


    though he was a victor staring at the adversary he had bested. “Do you see this, Chu Tianfan? This is


    what happens when you make an enemy out of me! Everyone has forsaken and ostracized you; your


    reputation is in shambles. If I were you, I''d be too embarrassed to keep on living. Surrender, for Mount


    Yan will be your grave.”


    “It was an impulsive mistake on Ye Fan''s part, Jiuzhou. There''s no need to kill him. I think it''s fine if we


    just make him vow not to enter Mount Yan or attack Dragon Gate again. He''s apatriot, after all,”


    advised Ye Qingtian.


    While he was upset with Ye Fan, he didn''t want thetter to die.


    In response, Chen Jiuzhou spat coldly, “There''s no need to show him mercy, War God. As long as this


    scum lives, China will know no peace.”

    “That''s right!”


    “Kill him!”


    “Don''t let him live!”


    Many shouted vehemently to show their support for Ye Fan''s execution.


    At that moment, Ye Fan seemed incredibly lonely.


    Why am I doing any of this? To save these foolish cretins? To protect despicable men who would repay


    my kindness with enmity without hesitation? Why should I sacrifice so much to ensure their survival?


    When his train of thought ended there, he shook his head andughed self-deprecatingly. “I came to


    Mount Yan to rescue you all, but it appears my aid isn''t wanted. In that case, why should I save this


    world? One day, all of you numbskulls will realize the disaster Dragon Gate will bring to your door!”


    Hisughter reverberated throughout the mountain. From this moment onward, I''m not going to care


    about Dragon Gate or China''s martial arts world anymore. I''m sick of dealing with the problems in the


    world. Once I leave, I''ll spend the rest of my days in seclusion and ignore all conflicts. These


    presumptuous morons can die for all I care.


    When Chen Jiuzhou noticed Ye Fan was gearing up to leave, he charged toward his enemy and


    growled furiously, “You''re not getting away that easily! Die!”


    An unnamed martial artist roared, “Everyone, let''s work together to help Hall Master Chen y Chu


    Tianfan!”
