The free-for-all competition explicitly banned the use of weapons to prevent accidents, yet nobody expected Bai Fan to use a poisoned dagger.
"Despicable, using a weapon when so many are attacking one person."
"Yes! It's so shaful!"
A wave of dissatisfaction ca from the audience.
Having succeeded with his strike, Bai Fan ignored the surrounding jeers, his face wearing a cold, mocking smile.
Once Lin Chen was dead, even if he broke the rules, Bai Ling, as the new Sect Leader, would surely set him free.
Not only would he escape any punishnt, but he would also rise to a higher position effortlessly.
The dagger was sared with deadly poison, fatal upon entering the bloodstream. The dagger that Bai Fan had plunged deep into Lin Chen's shoulder would undoubtedly spell death, even for a god.
However, just as Bai Fan was reveling in his triumph, suddenly a pair of strong hands seized his neck.
"Impossible!" Seeing Lin Chen appear before him like lightning, Bai Fan's complexion drastically changed.
"How could he not be poisoned, how could he not be dead?" amazent spread across Bai Fan's face.
An icy glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes as he coldly said, "Here's your dagger back."
As soon as he spoke, Lin Chen's body shook, and a burst of energy forced the dagger out, driving it directly into Bai Fan's palm.
"No!" Bai Fan, seeing the dagger ejected from Lin Chen's body hit him, his face turned ghostly pale.
Suddenly spitting out a mouthful of dark blood, Bai Fan's body wobbled, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"A man has died!"
Cries of alarm rose from the arena.
Quickly, several monks rushed over, only to find that Bai Fan had already breathed his last.
With soone dead just as the competition had begun, the entire arena was in an uproar.
Master Zi Yang, with a somber expression, said to Lin Chen, "Young man, the arena is ant for friendly combat, yet you made such a ruthless move, your competition qualifications are now revoked."
Upon hearing Master Zi Yang's words, Lin Chen's face turned cold, "Old man, what do you an by that? I did not kill him, it was he who stabbed
with the dagger. I rely forced the dagger out, is that wrong?"
"As for the dagger striking him, that was his misfortune, what does it have to do with ?" Lin Chen said coldly.
Lin Chen's words instantly resonated with many in the audience.
"Right, Lin Chen didn't kill anyone, it was that dead guy who wanted to kill."
"Exactly, that guy was too ruthless, saring his dagger with lethal poison; he got what he deserved."
Hearing the murmurs of the audience, Master Zi Yang's face grew even darker.
Then, Master Xu Kong coldly remarked, "Junior brother, Bai Fan was the initiator of this mischief. His death was rely an accident."
"This!"
Master Xu Kong's statents essentially set the final tone on the matter, and since everyone had witnessed the event clearly, Master Zi Yang, knowing he had no ground, could only sit down huffily back in his seat.
Bai Ling's face beca especially grim, his well-laid trap had not only failed to take Lin Chen's life but had instead cost his own confidant's life.
The competition continued, with over seventy people still left in Lin Chen's group. However, for the remainder of the matches, Lin Chen was rely a spectator.
With Bai Fan dead and their so-called alliance dissolved, Lin Chen's recently demonstrated formidable combat skills deterred anyone from daring to challenge him further.
Lin Chen had been resting in a corner with his eyes closed, healing his injuries until the competition was over.
The matches in the even-numbered groups were just as intense, and the duo of Zhao Xiaohua and Tang Bao'er beca the highlight of the event.
The two were so fierce that several martial artists who tried to challenge them were killed with a single move, and soon this duo also beca an existence that no one dared to provoke, smoothly advancing to the next round.
After an afternoon of competition, the top 32 were finally determined.
This result made the Elder extrely displeased, as according to their plan, Lin Chen should have been eliminated.
"It seems we need to carefully arrange the order of appearances to get Lin Chen eliminated," the Elder thought to himself.
However, the Void True Man suddenly stood up and said, "I will personally supervise the drawing of lots for the final match!
