Chapter 1719: Fire Needle

At an order, several guards immediately rushed forward, ready to attack Ye Bufan.

"Everyone, step back."

Zhai Lingxiu stepped forward again, shielding Ye Bufan behind her.

In fact, she hadn't thought about why; she just wanted to protect the Young man.

Liu Meiniang angrily said, "This kid is clearly spouting nonsense! How long are you going to keep protecting him?"

Ye Bufan said, "Since everyone doesn't believe what I've said, how about this?

After Divine Doctor Xue cures the City Lord's illness, then let me die with understanding. Is that request not too much?"

Zhai Lingxiu glanced at him, her eyes seemingly carrying a hint of reproach. If it really came to that, even she wouldn't be able to protect him anymore.

Ye Bufan, however, was unconcerned, a confident smile still on his face.

"Alright then, otherwise others might truly think this old man lacks magnanimity," Xue Guanghe said with full confidence. "I'll let you witness this old man's Medical skill with your own eyes. Then, we'll see what else you have to say."

Since Divine Doctor Xue had already said so, Liu Meiniang naturally couldn't say anything more. She glared fiercely at Ye Bufan, then said, "Divine Doctor, then I trouble you to treat my husband."

"No matter. While others may have no solution, this bit of coldness is nothing to this old man."

Xue Guanghe, with complete arrogance, stepped to the bedside. He first took Zhai Tianfang's pulse, then stated with certainty, "It seems what this old man said before was correct. City Lord's condition is indeed caused by cold Qi attacking the heart."

Zhai Gang asked, "Divine Doctor Xue, is there a way to cure it?"

"That is natural. Since this old man can diagnose it, he can also cure it."

After speaking, Xue Guanghe opened his medicine box and took out a needle pouch. What was surprising was that all the silver needles inside were red, and a scorching aura emanated from them as soon as they were taken out.

He took out a large red needle and held it in his palm, then looked mockingly at Ye Bufan: "Kid, before you die, I'll let you broaden your horizons and see what the Departing Fire Divine Needle is."

After he finished speaking, the expressions of the several physicians nearby changed, especially Su Dingfang. He had long heard of this miraculous needle technique and never expected to witness it today.

However, he then showed a worried expression. If Divine Doctor Xue truly cured Zhai Tianfang, then he and Ye Bufan would be finished.

Under everyone's gaze, Xue Guanghe held his breath, concentrated his mind, and circulated his True Qi. In an instant, the large needle in his hand began to tremble, and a scorching aura permeated the air, dispelling some of the surrounding cold Qi.

"One needle, cold Qi gone!"

With his loud shout, the large red needle in his hand pierced into an Acupoint on Zhai Tianfang's chest.

Immediately following, a surprising scene occurred. As the large needle pierced in, the cold Qi on Zhai Tianfang's body rapidly dissipated, and the frost that had formed on his face also disappeared.

"Amazing! Divine Doctor Xue is indeed Divine Doctor Xue, truly amazing!"

"Such miraculous Medical skill! The Departing Fire Divine Needle truly lives up to its name…"

"One needle, cold Qi gone! He truly lived up to his word! The Divine Doctor only used one needle to dispel the cold Qi from the City Lord's body…"

"That kid just now said the City Lord was poisoned by fire. He even dared to mock the Divine Doctor. He's utterly ignorant…"

For a time, everyone present lavished endless praise on Xue Guanghe, while not forgetting to disparage Ye Bufan, who stood nearby.

Ye Bufan, however, was completely unconcerned by all of this. He merely stood by, watching quietly, a faint smile still on his face.

"Watch closely! Second needle, True Yang rises!"

Xue Guanghe shouted again, and the second large needle pierced in.

With the insertion of this needle, although Zhai Tianfang still hadn't awakened, his complexion instantly became rosy, no longer the pale color it had been before.

Now, he lay peacefully on the bed, like a normal person in a peaceful sleep, showing no signs of being ill.

The onlookers once again praised him. With just two needles, Zhai Tianfang was transformed. The Medical skill Xue Guanghe displayed earned him countless admirers.

Su Dingfang sighed with a complex expression, realizing that he was completely finished this time.

Ye Bufan stood there, a smile still on his face, and it seemed to be even brighter.

Zhai Lingxiu glanced at him and whispered, "Are you an idiot? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Ye Bufan said, "Of course I'm not an idiot, and I am afraid of death, but what does that have to do with me? This guy can't cure your father at all."

He spoke these words openly and honestly, without lowering his voice in the slightest, so that everyone present heard him clearly.

Xue Guanghe let out a cold snort: "A dead duck's mouth is still hard. Now I'll show you this old man's third needle: bringing the dead back to life!"

After speaking, he once again took out a large red needle and inserted it into the Danzhong Acupoint on Zhai Tianfang's chest.

At this, everyone's gaze was drawn (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) over, anticipating the City Lord's awakening.

No one had any doubts, because the Medical skill Xue Guanghe had just displayed was too miraculous; he had completely won their trust.

Ye Bufan, however, let out a scoff: "This third needle has no power to bring the dead back to life at all; it's entirely a death-催命 之针 (death-urging needle).

Originally, the City Lord was poisoned by fire, but you insisted on using this extremely Yang-natured Departing Fire Divine Needle. This is completely adding fuel to the fire, making the injury worse.

The City Lord will immediately vomit a large mouthful of blood and die violently after three quarters of an hour."

Liu Meiniang angrily shouted, "Shut up! You're still spouting nonsense when death is upon you."

Xue Guanghe angrily said, "When the City Lord awakens, I'll see what else you have to say!"

Liu Guosheng called out to the several warriors nearby, "Get ready! As soon as the City Lord awakens, drag this kid out and chop him down!"

Zhai Lingxiu looked at Ye Bufan, her expression filled with complexity.

Normally, she shouldn't believe this Young man, but for some reason, she felt he was trustworthy.

Under everyone's gaze, Ye Bufan extended three fingers, then began to count: "3… 2… 1… Spit!"

Everyone was confused, not knowing what he was doing, and just then, with a 'wah' sound, Zhai Tianfang, who had been lying quietly on the sickbed, suddenly spewed out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

His face then became extremely pale, and even his breathing became much weaker, completely showing signs of being critically ill.

"This…"

The expressions of everyone present changed drastically. No one expected this outcome.

All of this was within the Young man's prediction, and he even precisely timed the vomiting of blood. Could it be that what he said was true?

"What's going on? Just now, the first and second needles looked so professional, but the third needle turned into a death-催命 (death-urging) one…"

"It seems this Divine Doctor Xue is just famous in name; his Medical skill isn't that great…"

"I think that young brother's Medical skill is truly impressive. Everything he said was accurate, even the time of the blood vomit was spot on…"

Looking at the dying Zhai Tianfang and listening to the surrounding discussions, Xue Guanghe, who had been so arrogant, was completely dumbfounded. He stood there愣 (stupefied), seemingly unable to believe what was happening before his eyes.

Zhai Gang angrily shouted, "Divine Doctor Xue, what exactly is going on?"
