A strong sense of danger filled Ye Xuan's heart, causing his expression to turn ice-cold and unsightly.
It was obvious that he did not expect the Leng Clan's supreme elder to actually attack him, wanting to kill him or cripple him completely.
However, Ye Xuan wasn't a pushover.
Whether it was the power or utility of soul force, or its quality, it was far superior to spiritual force.
A strand of soul power would require at least ten strands of spiritual force to compare with.
"Old thing, do you really think I can't treat you?"
Ye Xuan's eyes flickered with a cold light as he looked at the Azure Ferocious Beast that the Leng Clan's Grand Elder had used to attack him with a mental attack. His cold voice sounded out.
"Boom!"
Boundless soul force explosively surged out, forming a huge black mouth that swallowed everything. The instant the azure ferocious beast transformed from the supreme elder's mental energy arrived, a majestic suction force bloomed, directly swallowing it into its mouth as a nourishment for Ye Xuan's soul force. Ye Xuan's soul force strengthened as well.
The scene from before disappeared without a trace, and the auction house regained its calm once more. It was as if what people had seen just now was just an illusion, causing them to be astonished and shocked, wondering if they had been mistaken.
"Puchi …"
As the Great Master of the Leng Clan was devoured, Liu Ming felt an excruciating pain in his head. It was like a blank patch of land had suffered a huge backlash. His face turned pale as he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Elder Gu Yuan!"
Leng Hongxiao looked at the Highest Elder who spat out a mouthful of blood. Leng Qingguo, Leng Ao Tian and the others' faces changed at the same time as they spoke out in concern.
The Leng Clan's supreme elder was called Leng Guyuan, and was an outstanding person from the previous generation of the Leng Clan. His strength was extraordinary, and his peak period reputation was well-known, with great influence.
"Cough cough …" "I'm fine, but my spirit is injured. That brat actually swallowed my spirit energy!"
Leng Guyuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his palm, and spoke with an ice-cold expression.
You old dog, you dare to not care about your face, you bully the weak, and dare to publicly attack a junior like me in the auction, disrupting the order of the auction house, ignoring the rules of the auction house. If it wasn't for the fact that this old dog's mental energy attack was too weak, I'm afraid that I would have already become a cripple.
Just as Leng Gu Yuan finished his sentence, Ye Xuan's angry and righteous voice sounded out.
"Puchi …"
When his voice fell into Leng Gu Yuan's ears, his expression changed. He was so angry that his chest hurt and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.
This scoundrel brat actually acted like a good boy after getting a bargain. It was simply to infuriating.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words and seeing Leng Guyuan's angered face, the Red Emperor couldn't help but reveal a moving smile as he looked at Ye Xuan with undisguised praise.
She had noticed the exchange between Ye Xuan and Leng Gu Yuan earlier. This kid truly had some ability. Not only did he block Leng Gu's soul attack, he even completely devoured his soul force. This was truly beyond her expectations.
Especially since this guy even complained to them after getting lucky.
"Leng Yuanyuan, it's one thing for you to not care about your face and publicly attack a junior, but instead get injured by a junior. You can be considered to be living like a dog for the rest of your life, don't you think that it's shameful?"
Immediately, the Red Emperor's gaze fell on Leng Gu Yuan as he spoke in an ice-cold tone.
She did not even give a shred of face to Leng Yuanyuan.
"You …"
Just as he was about to speak up, the Silver Emperor's voice came out from the stairs on the second floor, "Leng Gu Yuan, this is our territory, not in your Leng Clan. Everything must be done according to our rules, this old man will solemnly warn you in the name of the Berserker Alliance, if there's a next time, don't blame us for throwing you out of here!"
"Don't doubt our strength. Believe me, we have the ability!"
"Bastard!"
Facing the two famous figures of the Red Emperor and the Silver Emperor, even though Leng Yuanzhou was the supreme elder of the Leng Clan, and also had another supreme elder by his side, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger as he unwillingly cursed.
Regardless of whether it was the Red Emperor or the Silver Emperor, their fame and strength far exceeded that of the two of them. Not to mention that Elder Lei and Old Bai were beside them.
Moreover, there were four six stars elders of the Violent Soldier Alliance who had yet to show their faces.
If they were to fight now, they would not get any benefits.
Not only did this guy not harm Ye Xuan, he even got injured by Ye Xuan.
"Truly garbage. A dignified supreme elder of the Leng Clan actually couldn't even take down a member of the younger generation, and even his Spirit power was swallowed by someone!"
"Aiya, don't say it like that. It's not that the Leng Clan's Supreme Elder isn't powerful, it's only because Ye Xuan is sharp!"
"Tsk tsk, logically speaking, Leng Guyuan should be a Martial King that has entered the realm of a Martial Emperor, right? How could he be so strong and not be able to take on a single Ye Xuan?"
"Who knows, maybe that Zhizun realm cultivator might be fake?"
"My older brother Xuan is awesome!"
Upon seeing this scene, the crowd in the auction hall couldn't help but to whisper to each other.
When the words they were discussing landed in Leng Gu Yuan's ears, he was so angry that his face turned pale. He was extremely angry, and once again spat out a mouthful of blood. Even his aura had weakened.
His illustrious reputation disappeared just like that!
"Alright, let this matter end here! If anyone dares to ignore the rules of the auction and attack in public again, do not blame the old me for being rude! "
Seeing this, the silver haired old man waved his hand impatiently, an indifferent tone coming from his mouth.
As his words fell, his figure turned into a silver shadow that slowly turned into nothingness, as if it had never appeared before.
At this moment, the Red Emperor, who was sitting on the stage, gently caressed his bangs and gave a moving smile. From his mouth, he said something that would make people feel relaxed and happy: "Just treat what happened earlier as a temporary entertainment at the auction, no need to worry about it! "Right now, our auction will continue. Regarding the Sword God Stone, Ye Xuan just bid eight hundred million, is there anyone else willing to bid that much higher?"
Everyone present could not help but fall into silence and deep thought upon hearing the words of the Red Emperor.
"Elder Gu Yuan, are we still going to continue bidding for the God of Swords?"
Leng Hongxiao turned his head and looked at Leng Yuanyuan as he asked cautiously.
After all, with the two great elders, Leng Yuanyuan, and him here, this matter could not be decided by him alone.
"Let's wait and see first!"
Leng Guyuan's expression was cold as he stared venomously at Ye Xuan, like a venomous snake hibernating in the dark.
The expression on Jian Xi Lai's face became even uglier. He clenched his fists so tightly that they made 'ka ka' sounds. An ice-cold, devouring light flashed in his eyes.
This price of eight hundred million was a bit too high for him. After all, he hadn't discovered anything unique about the Dao of the Sword.
However, for the benefit of the Peerless Sword Sect, he could only give it his all.
If their Peerless Sword Sect could truly comprehend the true meaning of the sword dao above this divine sword stone, then they could ascend to the top in a single go.
The Peerless Sword Sect was extremely wealthy, they could afford a trifling eight hundred million.
No matter what, he had to acquire the Sword God Stone.
At that moment, Jianxin's cold voice rang out, "830 million!"
"850 million!"
Ye Xuan was expressionless as he coldly spoke.
"860 million!" The sword did not yield to him.
"900 million!" Ye Xuan remained expressionless.
"950 million!" A murderous light flashed in Jian Xi's eyes as the Sword Qi surrounded his body.
"999,999! 999,999!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Xuan lazily stretched his waist, completely ignoring Jian Xilai's murderous gaze as he leisurely spoke.
Jian Xi fell into a long silence after hearing Ye Xuan's bid.
This price had already reached the edge of his bottom line. It was also Ye Xuan's summary judgment of him.
The entire auction venue quieted down due to Jian Xi's silence.
"One billion!"
Just as he was deep in thought, Leng Hongxiao opened his mouth.
"Then let the two of you fight over it!"
A faint smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face as he yawned and stretched once more.
He was about to fall asleep.
"Hong Xiao, why don't you give this Divine Sword Stone to my Unparalleled Sword Sect? Even if our Unparalleled Sword Sect owes your Leng Clan a favor? One billion and ten million! "
When Jian Xi saw that Ye Xuan didn't continue bidding, he raised his head and set his gaze on Leng Hongxiao as he spoke in a low voice.
"Xi Lai, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that we two great elders are very interested in this Divine Sword Dao Stone. Furthermore, our ancestor also has some insights into the way of the sword, I believe that if he was here, he wouldn't let this thing go! I think we should compete fairly! 1.2 billion! "
Leng Hongxiao shook his head gently and spoke up with a wry smile.
After that, Leng Hongxiao and Jianlai Lai fell into an intense bidding frenzy. Everyone in the auction hall was shouting out their bids.
In just a short period of time, the price of the Sword God Stone had risen from 1.2 billion to 1.5 billion.
"1.6 billion!" Hong Xiao, if you take a step back, our Unparalleled Sword Sect will be willing to work with your Leng Clan to obtain this God Stone of Sword Truth! "
At this moment, Jian Xi Lai gritted his teeth and spoke with a cold expression.
This was the last concession he could make.
"Let us study together?" A hint of doubt flashed in Leng Hongxiao's eyes.
"That's right, I will bid for this Divine Sword Stone and place it within the sect. Any member of the Leng Clan can come here to comprehend it. How about it?" Jian Xi Lai lightly nodded his head and spoke with a deep voice.
If he were to continue arguing with Leng Hongxiao, both parties would suffer losses.
Hearing Jian Xi's words, Leng Hongxiao thought for a moment and finally agreed to this suggestion.
At the same time, no one else raised their bid.
"1.6 billion, for the first time!"
"1.6 billion, twice!"
When the Red Emperor saw this scene, he gently nodded at Ruo Yanran and prepared to announce the location of the Sword God Stone.
Jian Xi also quietly sighed in relief when he heard the declaration from Ruo Yanran and the others.
"1.6 billion, third …"
However, just as Ruo Yanran was about to announce the final ownership of the Sword Dao Divine Stone, a lazy voice suddenly rang out at this moment.
"1,990,999 million!"
The sudden lazy voice made the entire scene go silent. Everyone turned around to look at the source of the voice. It was Ye Xuan who spoke lazily after tasting a mouthful of red wine.
As he watched Ye Xuan suddenly call out a price, an uncontrollable rage surged out from the bottom of his heart, causing his expression to become extremely unsightly. Sword qi covered his entire body as countless illusory sword images danced around him.
"Ye Xuan, you damned bastard. Didn't you say you'd give up the auction?"
"I just said that I wanted you two to compete, and didn't say that I would give up. It's just that the two of you have low IQs and have the wrong intentions! I saw that the two of you were almost done, so I decided to make my move at this moment. "What, is there a problem?"
Ye Xuan completely disregarded Jian Xi's enraged appearance as he spoke with a carefree and indifferent expression.
"Ye Xuan, you damned animal! I'll kill you!"
Jian Xi was no longer able to control his raging emotions. Violent killing intent surged as a terrifying sword energy swept out. The sword energy surrounding his Divine Weapon turned into a huge sword dragon that charged towards Ye Xuan.
"Senior Silver Emperor, there's another fellow who doesn't follow the rules of your auction, wanting to kill someone here!"
Seeing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile as he leisurely called out.
"You …"
As soon as Jian Xi heard Ye Xuan's words, he stopped moving and could only forcefully retract his attack. His gaze towards Ye Xuan was filled with undisguised anger and killing intent.
He had never hated anyone so much before.
"You … You. You. How can you be so cheap? "
Jian Xi stretched out a finger to point at Ye Xuan. He was so angry that his entire body trembled and he spat out a sentence from between his teeth.
"And you are even a sword practitioner? Don't you know that when people are lowly, they become invincible? Now that I have already reached the level of being one with others, the Sword Sect Master is truly flattering me! "
Ye Xuan lightly waved his hand and spoke with a humble expression.
"Puchi …"
Ye Xuan's words, coupled with his actions and demeanor, made Jian Xi unable to suppress the anger in his heart. It attacked his heart, and he was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of black old blood, fainting on the spot.
"Master!"
"Master..."
"Sect Master, wake up! Sect Master!"
All of a sudden, the anxious cries of the Peerless Sword Sect disciples rang out in the auction hall.
Ye Xuan lightly sighed as he looked at the sword that was so angry that it even caused him to faint. Helpless words came out of his mouth.
"Sigh... With just this bit of mental fortitude, he is still the head of a sect! "
"Puchi …"
As soon as Jian Xi was woken up by the Unmatched Sword Sect disciples, he heard Ye Xuan's sigh and coughed out a mouthful of blood. He closed his eyes and fainted once again …
