Chapter 308
Chapter 308 – Sky High Prices
Before Qi Fu gave the order…
Li Wenzong ordered his people to have the Skynet Assassin make their move .
———-
Private room number five .
A man in a long black robe with a cold expression was giving off a faintly discernible killing intent . There was a machete in his hand as it still had a trace of warm blood dripping off the body of the blade . “Plop plop” sounds could be heard as the fresh blood landed on the ground . The sound was extraordinary harsh to the ears in this eerily silent private room .
The black robed man slightly frowned .
From the information he was secretly given, the people here shouldn’t be this weak .
There weren’t even signs of a symbolic resistance as they were all practically killed in an instant .
This was unexpected for him .
But…
This sense of unexpectedness didn’t linger for too long because he was the strongest assassin of Skynet . Thinking up to this point, a smug and cold looking sneer appeared on his face . At this moment, he was planning on leaving the room to hand over the completed mission and then get the rest of his xuan stones .
Except…
Within an instant, a faint fragrant smell drifted past his nose .
The gaze of the black robed man turned serious . A brief glint of light could be seen in his eyes as he immediately stopped breathing . He sat down cross-legged and his Profound Venerate energy started surging out from his body . He was focusing all his powers in resisting the knock-out fragrance that had already entered his brains .
“I fell into a trap?”
“Was this purposely used to deal with me?”
At this moment…
Countless scenarios played through the mind of the black robed man .
His expression turned gloomier as time went by . Green veins started popping out and every pore on his body was slightly opened . With every inhale and exhale, he would force out a portion of the fragrance with the ability to disrupt one’s mind . This was actually a very tough process .
This type of knockout fragrance was simply too powerful .
If he was a few seconds slower in detecting it, most likely he would have already toppled to the ground by now .
Fortunately…
He was an expert at the Profound Venerate realm and he had luckily realized this early on . Strength was extremely important to an assassin but a quick reaction speed was even more so . A slight sense of abnormality and they can immediately react to meet the challenge .
“Fuuu~… fuuu~…”
Several minutes passed by .
Sounds of people outside the room could be heard .
“It should be about time now, right?”
“I heard General Manager Qi say that this knockout fragrance can even make a person at the Profound Venerate realm faint . There’s not even a Profound Ancestor within this group so I think they should be all unconscious in less than ten seconds . Most likely they are all lying on the ground right now . ”
“What you’ve said makes sense since General Manager Qi is very reliable when he does things . ”
“Enough chatting . Let’s quickly find that child that the General Manager wants so we don’t waste any more time . ”
While saying this…
Two staff workers of the Dao Shang auction house went into the room .
The lights had been damaged inside the room so the dim lighting made one unable to see things clearly .
“Why aren’t there any lights?”
“It’s fine, I brought a match with me . ”
After striking it, a small light illuminated the area . In front of the workers was a pair of eyes glaring back at them like it was going to eat them alive…
Back to the auction .
“The starting price will be 2 million and the minimum increase is 200 thousand . We shall now begin the auction!”
This was a completely black long sword without a handle that was giving off a strong amount of energy . The energy of a demonic beast to be exact .
From time to time, one seemed to hear the roar of a Jiao Dragon .
“Since the ancient times, this Jiao has been cultivating to the point of reaching dragonhood . This Jiao Dragon has almost reached the point of becoming a true dragon! This xuan weapon even has traces of dragon might, so I believe all the guests here can imagine the value of this weapon” said Cheng Danian with a smile . If it weren’t for the fact that he wasn’t a sword user, he would’ve bought this blade for himself already .
“3 million!”
“3 . 5 million!”
“5 million!”
“5 . 2 million!”
Good things would naturally have many people vying for .
This xuan weapon was really not bad . With its peak spirit grade powers, combined with the powers of the Jiao Dragon, an oppressive suppression would automatically be activated during a fight . This was considered a xuan weapon that was truly not bad .
Moreover…
This xuan weapon was perfectly suited for the orc race of the Wilderness and those of the demon races . They understood this better than the humans and knew how to utilize the sword’s power to its highest potential .
“I bid 8 million!”
Suddenly…
A person stood up from private room number seven . To be precise, it was an orc .
He was wearing beast fur armor, muscles bulging out, and covered in an unstoppable power . His voice alone made the auction hall faintly shake .
An orc from the Wilderness had come?!
And his status wasn’t low either . Just by the look of the jewelry worn around his neck, he was most likely a Prince or a character at the Prince status level .
Cheng Danian smiled excitedly and said: “Good! Prince Ke Lei of the orc race is offering 8 million! Is there anyone that wishes to bid higher?”
“8 million going once!”
“8 million going twice!”
“8 million…”
“Sold!”
With a “clank” sound, Cheng Danian smacked down the hammer and said with a smile: “Congratulations to Prince Ke Lei for winning the first xuan weapon . It is definitely an excellent value for the money . ”
Cheng Danian had the staff workers take the long sword away .
It wasn’t like before where someone had to hand over the money immediately before getting the goods in return . There was no mention of money at all this time .
This was the disparity of one’s identity!
Cheng Danian cleared his throat before continuing: “The next xuan weapon is also forged by the bones of a Jiao Dragon . It is a pair of battle axes and it still doesn’t have a name . The winner of the item can personally give it a name . ”
“The starting bid price is 3 . 8 million!”
It was another round of intense bidding .
This too was won by Prince Ke Lei, and this time at the price of 10 million .
The third item was a large warsword .
It was won by another member of the orc race at 14 million .
The fourth item was a long spear and won by Prince Ke Lei once again – the final price at 16 million .
The xuan weapons Luo Tian had forged from the Jiao Dragon bones had pretty much been mostly bought by Prince Ke Lei . It was a powerful number of 48 million gold in total!
Flowers were blooming inside Luo Tian’s heart . “I’m rich… I’m rich… I am truly freaking rich this time!”
This had completely exceeded his expectations .
Luo Tian’s original thoughts were that if all four xuan weapons could be sold for 10 – 20 million gold, it would already be heaven defying for him . He never imagined the total price would almost reach 50 million! After taking out the auctions fees of 2 million, he would still get to keep 46 million gold . This gave Luo Tian a boost of confidence when the auction will reach An Chunchun’s mother .
He possessed a colossal sum of money!
This kind of feeling was just too cool!
Inside private room number seven .
Ke Lei’s expression was excited to the max . Looking at the four pieces of xuan weapons before him, he muttered: “Lord of the Wilderness, I pray to you with my most sincere heart . I pray that our orc race of the Wilderness will become stronger from here on out and rule the entire Wilderness territory . I also pray for the Grandmaster that forged these four xuan weapons . I sincerely thank him for bringing us these powerful battle weapons made from demonic beast bones . ”
He had a devoted expression on his face .
Inside the private room, several other orcs had the same look .
They were all extremely grateful towards Luo Tian because the appearance of his four xuan weapon will allow the orc race to gradually rise up in the Wilderness .
————
“They haven’t made their move yet?”
“Why hasn’t anyone returned to report to me?”
Qi Fu was extremely unhappy .
Standing inside private room number two and seeing the rosy glow of Cheng Danian’s face, he was quite unhappy . He was even more annoyed and when he watched the four xuan weapons being auctioned off at shockingly sky high prices .
Suddenly…
The door to the private room opened .
A staff worker stumbled in with a pale white face . He then stuttered: “General Manager, not, not, not…”
Before he could finish his words, a cold blade penetrated through his chest . As the body toppled over, a pair of chilly looking eyes behind the worker was revealed . A ferocious smile then appeared at the entrance of the room…
