pled the battle declaration and tossed it into the nearby trash can: "What's there to fear We accept this challenge!""Boy, don't be arrogant. I will surely cut off your head tomorrow. By then, all of...At this moment, Lu Chaoyang also saw the Zhenyuan Furnace suspended in mid-air. He was immediately struck dumb with shock, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head.

"Damn, how is he so strong at his age"

Lu Chao-yang was so enraged he wanted to die. He had made meticulous plans before, but never expected Ye Bufan would appear out of nowhere. This unexpected opponent was terrifyingly powerful.

He meticulously orchestrated this alchemy competition for two reasons. Firstly, he wanted to create a halo effect of being a master craftsman of Kunlun artifacts, thereby solidifying his position as the head of the family.

Secondly, it was to provoke Lu Zhaozong and force him to appear, so that after killing him, they could seize the alien fire for themselves.

To this day, Lu Zhaozong has not been seen, yet the throne of Kunlun Qishen is in peril.

He was secretly relieved that he had made full preparations and laid three safeguards, otherwise this time would have been really troublesome.

Over there, Lu Youqin was also gritting his teeth: “Kid, even if you know how to refine Void artifacts, I don’t believe that waiting for poison won't kill you!”

In his eyes, the poison Lu Chaoyang gave him was a foolproof plan, not something that could be cracked by the other party's superior alchemy skills.

Ye Bufan didn't care about what other people thought. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he operated skillfully, everything was smooth and flowing, with beauty in the air.

The forging of the weapon was soon complete, and it was now ready for the final quenching process.

He gently tossed it, the finished sword blank falling into the bucket beside him.

With a sizzling sound as the high temperature met the water, followed by a plume of mist that dissipated, swallowing Ye Bufan's figure.

"Boy, this time I see you won't die!"

Lu Youqin couldn't control his excitement, he jumped up all of a sudden, clenched his fists, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

Lu Chaoyang's heart, which had been lifted up, was finally put back down. His plan, after all, had succeeded.

If the other party gets first place again in the third round, then things will be quite difficult for me to handle afterwards.

If the name of the Kunlun artifact god were to be taken, wouldn't I have worked hard for nothing, making wedding clothes for others

As the eldest of the Lu family and a close friend of Lu Chaoyang, Lu De-ren was also aware of the poisoning plan.

This time, he repeatedly confirmed that Ye Bufan had truly been swallowed by the poisonous mist, only then did he smile with relief.

"At such a young age, he wants to make a name for himself and forcefully uses the Void Refining Art. Can he handle it"

If I'm right, he won't be able to hold on much longer...

Ru De Ren, as he said this, suddenly changed expression again. He stood straight and rigid, just like before, and the previous scene played out once more.

Only to see a gentle breeze blow past the Alchemy Tower, dissipating the mist, and Ye Bufan's figure reappeared before everyone.

Still composed, with a healthy complexion, she moved gracefully and skillfully, wielding the sword blank in her hand.

"How is this possible How could he not be poisoned"

Lu Chaoyang, Lu Youqin, and Lu De-ren, the three people who knew about it, all showed expressions of astonishment.

Three insurance policies were broken one after another by the other party. Could it be that their own plan had completely failed

Lu Youqin looked completely dumbfounded. He had actually poured the entire bottle of powder into the water bucket. Could it be that the poison given by the head of the family was wrong This stuff didn't work at all

Before he could recover, there was a thud beside him. A disciple of the Lu family to Ye Bufan's left fell to the ground.

Now that we are in the third round, most of the eliminated are visiting alchemists. Of the remaining fifty people, over forty are direct descendants of the Lu family.

What just happened was just the beginning. Then, one after another, thumping sounds echoed through the air as over a dozen disciples of the Lu family fell to the ground.

These people all turned pale, with weak limbs and foaming at the mouth. Although they seemed to be out of immediate danger, it was clear that this alchemy session had come to an abrupt end.

"Damn it, how could this happen!"

Lu Chao yang was utterly furious. These were the core disciples of the Lu family he had personally selected, his most loyal confidants.

Originally, I wanted to cultivate these people through this alchemy competition. I hoped they would achieve fame and fortune, accumulate prestige, and take on more important roles.

The result turned out well, he achieved fame and fortune, but in the end, he was poisoned by his own scheme.

He couldn't figure out for the life of him why Ye Bufan was fine, while his Ru Jia disciples were all falling ill.

Everyone present was also baffled, how could the refining process be going so well, and suddenly so many people fell down What on earth is going on

And at that moment, a sudden roar echoed through the air.

"Ye Bufan, you despicable and shameless thief, you actually poisoned the other disciples!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Elder Lu De-Ren of the Lu family took a step forward and appeared in mid-air. He glared angrily at Ye Bufan before him.

"You despicable wretch! The Lu family's forging competition was intended to select a true master blacksmith, not someone like you who resorts to any means necessary to pass. "

I have to say, this old man is really cunning. Seeing that his plan just failed, he immediately came up with another vicious scheme.

First strike, immediately pinning the blame of poisoning on Ye Bufan's head.

His words caused an uproar in the arena. Only then did people realize that the dozen or so who had fallen were poisoned, and the poisoner seemed to be the young man before them.

Ye Bufan was still calmly controlling the sword embryo in his hand, saying with a calm expression: "Elder, if you say I poisoned it, what is my purpose"

"Need I say more Of course they envy my disciple Lu's talent. Poisoning you will allow them to advance smoothly."

"Really"

Ye Bufan sneered, a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, and said again, "Then tell me, how did I poison you while I'm busy refining weapons here"

The others immediately became curious about his words. It was true that since the start of the competition, everyone had been busy refining weapons and hadn't seemed to have time to poison anyone.

"Boy, do you really think I can't see through you"

Rudeness was righteous and spoke eloquently, "The problem lies in the water mist you just tempered. The disciples next to you happened to be in the downwind direction of yours, and they were contaminated by the water mist that drifted over. You must have poisoned it."

Ye Bufan let out a hearty laugh: "Grand Elder, I don't understand. This water is from your Lu family, and the refining materials are also provided by your Lu family. How did it suddenly become poisonous"

Could it be that your Lu family poisoned me, and accidentally poisoned your own people

"I..."

Rude was speechless for a moment, and he hastily threw the blame onto someone else. He couldn't think of a good excuse in time.

"Kid, what else are you trying to argue The facts are right here in front of us. Everyone around you is poisoned except for you. Doesn't that tell you anything You're the one who put the poison."

This old geezer, seeing Ye Bufan's sharp words, didn't want to say anything more. He immediately gestured to someone beside him.

"Where are the guards of the Lu family"

As soon as he spoke, dozens of guards roared out, each with murderous intent, instantly surrounding Ye Bufan.

Rudeen pointed at Ye Bufan and said, "Take this poisoned thief!"

Those guards responded with a grunt and prepared to strike, but just then the ringing of a sword pierced the air.

I saw Ye Bufan reach out his hand and summon a brilliant silver dragon that soared into the air. The light was dazzling, and the sword energy was awe-inspiring.

In just a short while, he had completely finished the refining process, and a brand new sword brimming with spiritual energy was freshly forged!ng Academy now, you should be more confident. No matter what, she can't compare to you."Lu Xue'man stared at him intently: "Are you telling the truth"Ye Bufan said: "Of course it's the truth. How coul...
