Jaw-Dropping Son-in-Law

Chapter 2232

All of a sudden, Ye Qingtian received a call, and Sword Saint's anxious voice came through the speakers. “War God, where are you? You couldn't have gone looking for Chu Tianfan, could you? Don't go courting death! Those geezers from the International Martial Arts Union have mobilized all the troops they can get their hands on and are heading toward Jiangdong to kill Ye Fan. I can say for a fact that never once in more than a millennium of recorded martial arts world history was there a case like this where everyone was so united and willing to do anything to attack someone. Clearly, every martial arts world from all over the globe is determined to kill Chu Tianfan. He's done for. There's no hope for him this time. Even the gods can't save him. So, please don't be rash and get killed for nothing!”

The moment Sword Saint discovered Ye Qingtian had left Mount Yan, he was shocked.

He thought Ye Qingtian had gone to help Ye Fan.

However, in that situation, helping Ye Fan would be an act of courting death.

Sword Saint found it odd that the martial arts worlds were so united in that matter.

The Great Four, especially, was so hardcore in promoting the mission of killing Ye Fan.

Sword Saint had been in the martial arts world for decades.

Naturally, he encountered all kinds of ruthless people.

Even so, the martial arts world of all countries was never so united, not even when Chu Yuan waged war against the entire world last time.

Yet, they were doing everything in their power to kill just one person.

Although Ye Fan had caused a lot of trouble, Dragon Gate was not destroyed.

Hence, there was no way it would anger the entire world to the extent that they all wanted to hunt and kill him.

In any case, both Sword Saint and Ye Qingtian felt that the martial arts world of the various countries was overreacting.

“Don't worry, Sword Saint. I know what to do. You can be at ease,” Ye Qingtian said solemnly.

Naturally, he was cognizant of everything Sword Saint had said.

Earlier, Ye Qingtian saw The Great Four—the top four elites on the Empyrean Ranking—arriving at Yunzhou with his own eyes.

It was clear as day that the martial arts world of all countries was set on eliminating Ye Fan.

Back then, Chu Sect wanted to get rid of Ye Fan as well, but the martial arts worlds were not as united as they currently were. It was mainly Chu Sect exerting itself.

That time, however, was different. The Great Four on the Empyrean Ranking used their capacity as the leaders of the martial arts worlds to mobilize forces of the martial arts worlds from various countries.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire world was hunting Ye Fan.

“Why are you still going, then? You should be keeping your distance at a critical moment like this. Come back now!” Sword Saint urged anxiously.

Ye Qingtian fell silent for a long time before answering grimly, “Sword Saint, Ye Fan is China's martial artist, and he's someone we watched grow. We can't help him at such a juncture. My purpose for coming to Jiangdong is just to see him off... one last time.”

The heaviness and sorrow in his words were palpable.

Instantly, Sword Saint fell silent on the other end of the line.

After a long while, he responded, “If that's what you want, then go ahead... No matter what, Chu Tianfan is considered a hero of this generation. All I can say is that those with extraordinary talents often encounter more challenges and difficulties than others.”

Sword Saint's heart was equally filled with mixed emotions.

Every step of Ye Fan's road to fame brought War God Castle a lot of trouble.

Although the journey was filled with difficulties, Ye Fan managed to grow to become terrifyingly powerful.

Like a shooting star, he rose to great heights and shone brilliantly before falling to his end.

Ye Fan's life was like fireworks.

Though it was short-lived, it was brilliant and dazzling.

As soon as the call ended, Ye Qingtian brought Xu Lei and followed Chen Jiuzhou to track Ye Fan down.

Along the way, Xu Lei asked Ye Qingtian with teary eyes, “War God, what exactly did Ye Fan do? Why is the entire world against him?”

“It's a long story.” Ye Qingtian did not know where to begin, either.

The truth was, he, too, had no idea what prompted The Great Four to take the matter into their own hands.

If he had to look into all the things that happened, he would find many illogical things.

“Then, can Ye Fan survive this calamity?” Xu Lei continued asking.

After letting out a heavy sigh, Ye Qingtian said, “All we can do now is hope for a miracle to happen.”

On a highway about hundreds of kilometers away, a red sports car sped down the road as fast as lightning.

It left a sonic boom in the air, which sounded like the roar of a beast.

Along the way, the other drivers, who were passed by the red car, watched the vehicle drift past them in horror.

To an ordinary person, driving four hundred kilometers per hour was unheard of.

Meanwhile, many police cars were parked at Jiangdong exit of the highway.

All kinds of barricades were set up.

There were even army troops stationed by the side.

Various heavy arms were also placed in positions. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Just then, a young police officer who had just graduated and joined the workforce asked his mentor, a senior officer, in shock, “Sir, who is this that we're capturing? Even the army's dispatched!”

The senior officer responded in a low voice, “That's not all. As far as I know, dozens of fighter jets are approaching from a distance of thousands of kilometers away. As for the army, they've even mobilized armored vehicles and tanks. If my predictions are correct, Jiangdong military base must have aimed dozens of missiles at this place.”

What?

The intern was frightened out of his wits.

Fighter jets, missiles, and tanks? Oh, my goodness. What are they trying to do?

If one did not know better, one would think a modern war was starting soon.

“Y-You must be lying, s-sir. With all these forces, we can fight a battle at a scale of ten thousand people. B-But as far as I know, w-we're only capturing one person. Is it really necessary to go this far?” The intern tried his best to calm down and force a smile.

He believed a battle array like that was more than enough to reduce a thousand men to ashes in a split second.

Unfortunately, his mentor shook his head solemnly. “This is the scariest part. Even though all the soldiers and fighter jets are mobilized, the higher-ups have merely ordered us to do whatever it takes to stop this person for fifteen minutes. Do you know what this means? It means the higher-ups think that even stopping the person for fifteen minutes would be a struggle for us.”

The intern felt as if he was struck by lightning when he heard his mentor's words.

Jets, cannons, and even with soldiers besieging can only stop the opponent for fifteen minutes? Oh, my goodness. Who on earth is this person? Could he be a god?

Just as the intern was seized with fear, a thunderous roar of an engine approached from afar.

“Our target's here! Everyone, get ready. The other party might breach the barriers!”

“Snipers, get ready!”

“Special forces, get ready!”

“Begin locking the target using fire-control radars...”

Following a series of commands, thousands of soldiers at the scene instantly went into defense readiness condition one.

A hundred meters away, the armored vehicles slowly turned their cannon barrels toward the highway.

The fire-control radars on the fighter jets locked their targets on the red sports car.

Dozens of police cars sealed off the road in three layers while snipers and special forces were already in position.

It was as if a large net of death was spread out.

All that was left was for the prey to enter the trap.

In the meantime, a psychological expert kept shouting into the megaphone to make the other party surrender voluntarily.

Alas, the red car did not slow down a single bit.

Instead, it charged forward like a ferocious tiger sprinting down the mountain.

At that sight, the on-site commander ordered, “The target has entered the area of attack. Listen up, all squads! Go all out to stop the target!”

Boom!

As soon as the on-site commander gave his order, hundreds of artillery began firing.

Instantly, towering flames lit up the sky.
