Chapter 2104 Zhang He Takes Action

Ye Bufan’s expression changed; the pressure from that Sword Qi was too intense.

Although it was still far away, it brought him a great sense of crisis.

The sharp Sword Qi swept around, and immediately the leaves on the giant trees in the sky could not withstand the pressure and were shredded to pieces by the Sword Qi.

The Sword Intent was chilling, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop by dozens of degrees in an instant.

What shocked him most was that there was more than one such terrifying Sword Qi.

As soon as one rose in front, another Sword Qi tore through the sky from behind, its power no less than the previous one.

Under the immense pressure, Ye Bufan involuntarily took two steps back, his heart secretly tense.

The cultivation of these two people was at least Body Integration Late Stage, completely beyond what he could contend with now; it seemed that not letting Little Qing make a move was no longer an option.

Just as he was about to order Little Qing to act, a furious roar suddenly came from mid-air, “Young man, this is not a place where you can act wildly!”

Immediately after, a figure in a gray robe descended from the sky, blocking his path, sweeping his sleeves, and an invisible Qi effortlessly took down the two Sword Qi.

It must be said that the cultivation of this gray-robed person was truly too powerful; not only did he neutralize the two people’s Sword Qi, but he also shook them directly backward for dozens of meters before they barely managed to stabilize themselves.

Only then did Ye Bufan clearly see the appearances of the two people: one in black with a fierce expression, though now filled with shock.

And the other gray-robed person was even more unexpected to him: it was Grand Manager Zhang He of the Daxing Empire Imperial City.

Zhang He stood with his hands behind his back, his fair Face showing no emotion, yet he exuded an imposing presence without anger.

“Mangshan Twin Heroes, who gave you the guts to dare to commit violence in my Great Xing Imperial City?”

The Mangshan Twin Heroes were two brothers, the elder named Xiong Kuo Hai and the younger named Xiong Kuo Shan.

Both were originally extremely fierce individuals, accustomed to killing without mercy, but now their expressions changed drastically upon seeing Zhang He.

They were very clear about how strong this old eunuch was; he had already reached the Void Tempering Realm, far beyond what their Body Integration Late Stage could compare to.

Originally, they thought that killing a mere Academy Disciple would be an easy task, nothing simpler, but they didn’t expect to provoke the old eunuch Zhang He.

Facing a Void Tempering Realm expert, they knew they no longer had a chance and could only flee as far as possible.

The two brothers had a telepathic understanding, exchanged a glance, and turned to flee.

“You come as you please, and leave as you please? It’s not that easy!”

Zhang He roared, reaching out with one hand, and immediately an invisible large hand grabbed towards the two brothers.

The Mangshan Twin Heroes looked horrified; with the strength of their two brothers, they could even fight against a Combined Body Realm Peak.

But the old eunuch in front of them was too strong; his Void Tempering Realm cultivation was far beyond what they could contend with.

However, there was no choice now; seeing no escape, the two brothers could only swing their long swords and fight to the death.

Again, two sharp Sword Qi burst forth, fiercely striking the large True Essence hand.

The desperate attack of the two was extremely sharp, and the whistling Sword Qi seemed to tear through the sky.

It was just a pity that their opponent was too strong; a cold smile appeared on Zhang He’s lips.

That large True Essence hand instantly crushed the Sword Qi, and then two bursts of blood mist erupted, and the notoriously fierce Mangshan Twin Heroes were thus shattered by a single palm.

Seeing the two killed, Ye Bufan let out a long sigh of relief.

Regardless of the old eunuch’s purpose in helping him, he had at least overcome this immediate crisis, and there was no need for Little Qing to intervene.

“I thank the Great Deacon for his life-saving grace.”

Ye Bufan bowed deeply.

“Dispense with it.”

Zhang He waved his hand casually.

Ye Bufan stood up and asked again, “Great Deacon, do you know these two people? Do you know who sent them?”

“What if I do?” Zhang He shook his head. “Young man, some things are better left unknown.”

Ye Bufan immediately understood; although the other party didn’t say it directly, it was close to his guess—these two people must be related to the Zheng family.

It was just that Zheng Wei was the Grand Elder of Lingxiao Academy, and even Zhang He wouldn’t easily provoke him.

And he, needless to say, was of low strength, so even if he knew, he couldn’t do anything to the other party.

No wonder the old eunuch killed the two directly just now, leaving no survivors; even if survivors were left, it would be useless in such matters.

It seems that no matter when, the biggest fist is the hard truth; without strength, even if you are right, you cannot speak it.

He nodded: “Grand Manager is right, I understand.”

At the same time, another doubt arose in his heart: Zhang He was the head of the Custodian Hall.

And in today’s team battle, five people in his group were from Lingxiao Academy; if no one had tampered with it, even ghosts wouldn’t believe it.

From this point of view, this eunuch should be a member of the Zheng family, or at least had a good relationship with them, so why did he suddenly jump out to help him?

Seemingly sensing his doubt, Zhang He said, “The previous grouping was arranged by the Great Prince. Little fellow, you haven’t been here long, but you’ve already offended quite a few people.”

Only then did Ye Bufan understand that all of this was Tuoba Yang pushing it from behind.

He thought for a moment and asked, “Great Deacon, may I presume to ask, why did you save me tonight?”

He didn’t believe that Zhang He did this casually, but maintaining public order wasn’t the Grand Manager’s responsibility.

Zhang He smiled slightly: “My relationship with Zheng Sanbao is good. Before you came, he sent me a message, asking me to take good care of you.”

Ye Bufan frowned slightly; this reason made sense, but some things didn’t add up.

If it was for Zheng Sanbao’s Face, then what had he been doing before? It seemed he hadn’t received much care.

Zhang He spoke again, “Little fellow, it’s rare for someone so young to possess such Heaven-Defying Medical skill. Could it be that what Zheng Sanbao said is true, that you can really repair a damaged Physical Body?”

When he finished speaking, Ye Bufan suddenly realized.

It seemed that Zheng Sanbao and this Zhang He had some friendship, but it hadn’t reached a particularly deep level.

The reason he helped him tonight was because he could refine the Heaven Mending Pill, helping these incomplete people restore a complete Physical Body.

As for why he hadn’t taken care of him before, it was because he didn’t believe what Zheng Sanbao said.

But after today’s competition, he witnessed his ability to bring people back from the dead, and only then did he believe it to be true.

At that time, he already felt that the old eunuch’s gaze towards him was strange; so this was what he was thinking.

It seems it’s still that saying: strength determines everything.

If he didn’t have this strength in the Dao of Medicine, even if he died, the old eunuch wouldn’t even glance at him, let alone help.

After understanding, he said, “That’s right, I can indeed refine the Heaven Mending Pill and restore the Grand Manager’s damaged Physical Body, but the prerequisite is that I must be able to obtain hongyuan fruit.”

“I didn’t expect you, Little fellow, to truly possess such Heaven-Defying Medical skill!”

A strange gleam flashed in Zheng Sanbao’s eyes, “To be honest with you, for us incomplete people, high officials and generous salaries are no longer in our eyes, and our cultivation is difficult to advance further; our only wish is to be able to repair this Physical Body.

In this New Talent Ranking Tournament, I will do my best to help you, but the problem is that these matters are not solely up to me, so whether you ultimately succeed still depends on yourself.”
