Chapter 1978: Heart Threads Severed

d that the person before him had actually reached the Heavenly Rank.Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to intend to kill her, otherwise, that just now could have taken her life.The man in black...The lanky figure's eyes were now filled with terror, a stark contrast to his previous arrogance and confidence.

"That's wrong, I'm not a poison master, I'm a doctor." Ye Bufan said calmly, "A doctor who can detoxify for people will naturally know how to poison. That doesn't count for much."

He had already seen through the opponent's cultivation level and knew that he would definitely not be a match if they fought head-on.

Then, she took out the Burning Heaven Purple Flame to attract the opponent's attention, and then secretly released a strengthened version of the Sorrowful Soft Wind.

His improved version of the poison was colorless and odorless, harming people invisibly.

But in the face of two powerful cultivators at the Divine Transformation level, he still exercised caution.

Constantly talking attracts the other party's attention, giving Pī Sū Qīng Fēng time to work its magic. Everything seems so perfect now.

"Boy, you dare to play dirty Do you know who we are I'm from the Lu family. If you dare to touch any of us, the Lu family won't let you off..."

Having realized he was poisoned, the lanky man could only reveal his identity and background in an attempt to intimidate the other party.

Unfortunately, the result disappointed him. Ye Bufan just smiled coldly.

"The Lu family"

Ye Bufan said coldly, "Senior Lu passed on the art of alchemy to me. A day as a teacher is a lifetime as a student. You dare to harm my teacher, even the Jade Emperor would have to die!"

Beside him, Lu Zhaozong stared at the young man before him. Just moments ago, he had been consumed by despair, but now this youth had brought him such a delightful surprise.

Hearing the saying "A day as a teacher, a lifetime as a student," a glimmer of moisture appeared in the eyes of this tough guy who never shed a tear. He truly hadn't misread him after all.

Feeling the immense killing intent emanating from Ye Bufan, Fatty cried out in panic: “As long as you are willing to let us go, we will give you everything.”

Having said that, he fumbled around and took off his storage ring, holding it in his palm. The lanky man followed suit, taking off his own storage ring as well.

Now trapped in a desperate situation, they only hope to exchange their own lives for safety. As long as they live, there will be a day to avenge themselves.

Ye Bufan didn't stand on ceremony either. With a wave of his hand, two rings landed in his palm. Then, with a slap of his hand, a raging inferno engulfed the short, stout man completely.

The Blazing Palm, imbued with the power of the Heavenly Inferno Flame, was immensely powerful. It instantly incinerated his obese body, leaving not even a trace behind.

Seeing this, the lanky man turned his head and wanted to run, but unfortunately, he was now affected by the Sorrowful Wind of Peace, powerless all over. He only took a few steps before falling to the ground. "Why run Don't you want my Burning Heaven Purple Flame Now it's yours!"

Ye Bufan finished speaking and slapped out again, a purple flame engulfing the thin man once more.

Then everything returned to the way it was before, as if the two people had never been there at all.

Having dealt with those two, he hurried back to stand before Lu Zhao Zong.

"Senior, how are you Is everything alright"

"Good boy, good boy!" Lu Chaozong struggled to sit up and used his remaining two fingers to pat his shoulder a few times.

"I've been blind my whole life, but this time I wasn't mistaken. You, kid, are truly worthy of inheriting my legacy."

"Killing those two bastards from the Lu family was truly satisfying, hahaha...so refreshing!"

"Senior, please hold your tongue for a moment. Let me take a look at your injuries."

Ye Bufan had already seen that Lu Zhaozong's injury was extremely serious and had reached a very dangerous point.

"There's no need to look any further. My body knows, even a god couldn't save me."

Lu Chaozong said this, but his face was still beaming with a cheerful smile, as if he didn't care about his life or death at all.

Let me have a look.

"Ye Bufan said, reaching out to place his hand on Lu Zhaozong's pulse point. Finally, his expression grew increasingly grim."

It has to be said, his previous injuries were truly too severe. If he had taken his own Huitian Pill and recuperated properly from the start, now that he is using the Soul Returning Nine Needles to mend his meridians, there should still be a sliver of hope.

But Lu Zhaozong refused his own elixir and, worried that the Heavenly Fire Purple Flame had inflicted too much damage on his spirit, causing his meridians to be severed. He was now barely clinging to life with a single mouthful of robust true qi.

But this continuation is only temporary and cannot last long.

Seeing Ye Bufan's ugly expression, Lu Zhaozong shook his head.

"Little one, there's no need to be so fussy. Death is inevitable for all people, it's nothing to make a big deal out of."

Lu Zhao Zong said with a hearty laugh, "Now that I have you as my successor, the art of refining and the Burning Heaven Purple Flame both have a continuation. Even if I die, my heart will be at peace. There is nothing to regret."

"Senior, why don't you take this pill and I'll try again."

Ye Bufan said, and took out another Huitian Dan.

Lu Zhaozong waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need to waste effort. My time is running out. Let me get my words out quickly. I can't take some things with me."

"Alright then!"

Ye Bufan's heart sank. He knew that even if he gave it his all, he couldn't bring Lu Chaozong back to life. After all, he was just a doctor, not a god.

In that case, it might be better to let the other party finish their words before they die.

"Little one, let me introduce myself first. I am from the Lu family of Tiansheng Prefecture. In my heyday, I was renowned as the Kunlun Artifact God..."

Lu Chaozong began to talk endlessly, introducing his background and origins, which were similar to what Li Dao had said.

Ye Bufan knew the other party's time was running out, and he didn't interrupt. He just listened quietly on the side.

"In the art of alchemy, I, Lu Chao Zong, claim second place, and no one dares to claim first…"

At this point, a hint of arrogance appeared on Lu Zhaozong's face.

It's a pity, my eyes are blind, I saw the wrong person and was ultimately betrayed by my own younger brother.

"Senior, what's going on here"

"Ye Bufan asked in surprise, these things Li Daoran didn't say, no one knew what happened to the Lu family later."

The Lu family originally made their fortune from blacksmithing, and I have an unparalleled talent for it.

In this situation, everyone assumed I would become the heir to the next head of the family, and the voice grew louder throughout the Lu clan.

Especially after I received the title of Kunlun Artifact God, my prestige in the Lu family reached its peak.

In fact, I've only been interested in alchemy my whole life. I don't care about anything else.

Including the head of the household's position, I find those things really annoying. Where there is alchemy, it's more enjoyable. Even if my father passed the head of the household to me, I wouldn't accept it.

"I think the same way, and I usually say it too. It's just a pity that some people simply don't believe it, including my own brother, Lu Zhaoyang."

At this point, Lu Chao Zong's expression erupted with intense hatred.

He is my younger brother. I raised him from childhood to adulthood, including teaching him the art of alchemy.

But he's completely different from me. He's not very interested in alchemy and cares more about the family's power instead.

In my mind, the head of the household's position belongs to him. I won't vie for it, even if my father offered it to me.

It's possible my reputation is too high, putting too much pressure on him, or perhaps he's simply a wolf in sheep's clothing by nature.

"In the end, to seize the family throne, he not only poisoned me but also my father!"ess people, he didn't really care about it."My son has been investigating for so long, but there's not a single clue. Now, I don't have any hope left."Changsun Dongju's face showed a trace of sadness,...
