Chapter 2099: Anger that cannot be changed

At this, everyone present was in an uproar; no one had expected that there would be a death.

It should be known that the New Talent Ranking Tournament's purpose was to select elite Genius Disciples.

Therefore, before the competition, the Custodian Hall had set a bottom line: you could use weapons, hidden weapons, poisons, and all means to achieve victory, but the ultimate bottom line was that you could not kill your opponent.

Once an opponent was killed, not only would the Disciple who made the move be disqualified, but the entire participating team would also be stripped of their competition资格, and there had never been an exception to this rule.

Regardless of whether you were a prince, a noble, or a Genius Disciple, you could not escape the constraints of this rule.

It was precisely because of this that people were so shocked; if this were truly the case, then this would likely be Tianfeng Empire's last match.

“Oh my God, what’s going on? I just saw him get kicked, how did he die?”

“It’s over, it’s over. I still wanted to see how Tianfeng Empire would perform later, and I hadn’t even seen that Dean make a move yet, and they’re going to be disqualified just like that…

“What a pity. I originally thought Tianfeng Empire could turn things around, but now it seems they’re completely out…”

The surrounding people discussed animatedly, expressing their shock and regret.

At this moment, news had reached the viewing platform, and the Four Great Deacons instantly arrived in front of that Disciple.

No matter what, a Disciple being killed was a matter of utmost importance.

“Great Deacon, please uphold justice for us. Tianfeng Empire is too vicious. It’s one thing that they broke our limbs, but now they’ve killed my junior fellow Disciple!”

The speaker was Wu Xincheng, the captain of Qianye Empire, and the thin, small team member lying on the ground was named Xia Zhe.

At this moment, the remaining five team members of Qianye Empire were all injured and filled with indignation.

“Don’t rush, let me check the situation!”

Zhang He waved his hand, signaling everyone to control their emotions, then stepped forward to Xia Zhe, first placing his hand on his pulse, and then scanning him with his Divine Sense.

A moment later, he raised his head and said softly, “He’s really dead!”

Seeing the Great Deacon give the final result, the crowd present once again erupted into an uproar.

At the same time, everyone also realized the seriousness of the matter. Since Xia Zhe was truly dead, then Tianfeng Empire would be expelled from the New Talent Ranking Tournament.

On Daxing Empire’s side, Tuoba Yang shook his head slightly.

“I originally thought he would be qualified to fight against this Prince, but I didn’t expect him to be so foolish!”

On the Zheng family’s side, Zheng Wei’s lips curled into an almost imperceptible sneer.

At the same time, many people also felt a hint of doubt. Logically speaking, Tianfeng Empire held an absolute advantage, and there was no reason to kill anyone.

But somehow, someone had died. Could it be an accidental killing? However, for Cultivators of this Rank, the possibility of an accident was extremely small.

“Great Deacon, please uphold justice for the Disciple of my Lingxiao Academy.”

As he spoke, Zheng Wei walked over. He was the Grand Elder of Lingxiao Academy’s Tianluo State, and it was understandable for him to step forward for his Disciple at this time.

At the same time, Wu Xincheng looked venomously at Jiang Fangzhou next to him: “He’s the murderer! He’s the one who just kicked junior fellow Disciple Xia to death!”

At this moment, Jiang Fangzhou stood there dumbfounded, his face pale and filled with disbelief.

If he had truly accidentally killed the opponent, then he would have ruined it for everyone who came to compete, and he would become the sinner of the entire Shui Mu University.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he shouted in panic, “Ye Dage, I didn’t! I just kicked him. I didn’t even use one-tenth of my Cultivation, I didn’t intend to kill him at all…”

“Don’t worry, I know. It’s fine, leave it to me.”

Ye Bufan patted his shoulder, told him to rest aside, and then walked over calmly.

The surrounding people looked on with surprise. The situation was already so grim, yet they didn’t know where this Young man’s confidence came from.

The Four Great Deacons were also like this, all looking towards him.

Zhang He said with a stern expression, “Ye Bufan, your Tianfeng Empire’s participation is revoked. Do you accept this?”

“I do not accept!”

Ye Bufan still had a calm expression, even a faint smile on his face.

The onlookers, however, were in an uproar.

“Is this guy crazy? He actually doesn’t accept the Grand Manager’s decision…”

“It’s useless whether he accepts it or not. The person is already dead, and he will still be disqualified in the end.”

“Truly ignorant and fearless. Is this guy not afraid of angering the Great Deacon…”

“Your Tianfeng Empire violated the rules and killed a Disciple of Qianye Empire. What’s there to not accept about being disqualified?”

Zhang He also seemed to be angered, and an invisible pressure instantly permeated the air as he spoke.

Ye Bufan’s expression remained calm: “If that were truly the case, I would have nothing to say, but the problem is that the other party is not dead at all.”

“What? Is this guy crazy? That person is clearly dead, and now he’s saying he’s not dead…”

“Young men speak without thinking. The Grand Manager personally investigated just now, how could he be wrong?”

“Is this person crazy? He’s starting to talk nonsense…”

As soon as Ye Bufan finished speaking, a chorus of doubts immediately arose. After all, the corpse was lying there, its face ashen, its Life Qi cut off, clearly as dead as could be.

Moreover, Zhang He had personally examined it just now, indicating there was no possibility of him being mistaken.

“Kid, you clearly killed our man, and you still dare to quibble!”

Wu Xincheng was furious.

Zheng Wei said with a sneer, “Kid, are you questioning the Great Deacon’s impartiality?”

This old fellow was truly an old fox, insidious and ruthless, casually throwing out a big accusation.

Once a participating team member questioned the Great Deacon’s impartiality, that would add another charge.

Zhang He’s expression was grim: “This person’s Life Qi has clearly been completely cut off. Do you think I could be mistaken?”

Ye Bufan was noncommittal, instead smiling and asking, “Has the Great Deacon ever heard of the Art of Qi Observation?”

Zhang He frowned again, then showed a thoughtful expression, “I’ve heard of it. Legend has it that Medical skill reaches an extremely high level, allowing one to diagnose illnesses by observing Qi.

However, the Art of Qi Observation is extremely difficult, and for so many years, I’ve only heard of it but never seen it.”

Everyone present was bewildered, not understanding why he suddenly brought up Medical skill.

Ye Bufan spoke eloquently: “A person’s Qi is very mysterious. When a person is alive, it is Life Qi; when a person is dead, it is Death Qi, and this cannot be changed at all.

Even if you use the best medicine or the most profound Cultivation Technique, you can only cut off your own Life Qi, but you cannot change your own Life Qi.”

After he finished speaking, everyone’s expressions changed, especially Zheng Wei’s. On the surface, there was no change, but a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes.

Zhang He glanced at him: “You mean you can observe Qi?”

“Of course, I am an excellent doctor. Everyone is used to calling me Medical Immortal.”

Ye Bufan said: “This person in front of me has used a drug to block his Life Qi. Now he has no pulse, no heartbeat, no body temperature, and even his blood isn’t flowing.

If it were an ordinary person, they would certainly think he was dead, but he can’t deceive me, because his Life Qi cannot be faked, and there’s not the slightest sign of Death Qi!”

These words were shocking, and everyone present immediately burst into an uproar.

If it was truly as Ye Bufan said, then behind it was a shocking conspiracy, and the situation would take a complete 180-degree turn.
