Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 595: Chapter 592: Again and Again (28th Update!)

”Hm?”

”It can only attack once? Wasn’t it said that it could serve as a lifetime guardian demon beast, constantly protecting one’s way?”

”If it can only attack once, then paying ten billion spirit stones for it would indeed be an exorbitant gamble.”

The moment these words were uttered, the many cultivators who were previously eager to bid all frowned and paused.

Yun Qianqian’s expression changed abruptly; she turned her head swiftly to look at Song Mingshu in booth number one.

At this moment, Song Mingshu was sitting there, with Yun Congcong sitting beside him. It seemed she was discontent due to Song Mingshu’s remark and was scolding him.

Neither of them seemed to sense Yun Qianqian’s gaze, only the people from Myriad Treasures Pavilion behind Yun Congcong showed embarrassed expressions.

”Miss Yun, you must give us an explanation for this,” someone spoke up.

”Yes, give us an explanation!”

”For such a large business as Myriad Treasures Pavilion to play such deceitful tricks?”

”How can a big store bully customers like this?! Luckily, we didn’t buy it. If we had, wouldn’t we have wasted ten billion spirit stones for nothing!”

The voices seeking to cause trouble rose one after another, causing Yun Qianqian’s brows to furrow deeply.

She was already nervous, and now with so many people pressing her for answers, she found herself momentarily at a loss for a response.

”What’s going on?”

In booth number two, Nangong Yu frowned: ”Anyone who comes to the auction is well-known and reputable. Even if they are truly dissatisfied, they wouldn’t openly confront Myriad Treasures Pavilion like this.”

Su Han was silent, observing with cold eyes.

He had, of course, recognized the voice that just spoke—it came from booth number one, and it was very familiar. It was Song Mingshu’s.

”What Yun Qianqian said indeed was not wrong,” Su Han thought to himself.

He lifted his head, looking at Yun Qianqian, who was now sweating anxiously under the barrage of accusations, and he inwardly heaved a sigh. Indeed, she still had too little experience.

”Cough cough...”

Su Han cleared his throat and suddenly spoke up loudly, ”The Heart-Destroying Beast’s Spirit Split indeed can only attack once, but the Heart-Destroying Beast itself is a Sixth Order Demon Beast, and its Spirit Split’s attack is a self-destruction. Under such self-destruction, even an average Pseudo-Emperor Realm cultivator could not withstand it, and once dead, both their heart and spirit would be completely extinguished.”

”The use of this item is not really for attacking, but for deterrence!”

”As long as you haven’t offended someone from the Dragon Emperor Realm, having this item in your possession means you’d rarely encounter people daring to provoke you. After all, who would wish for death? And as for those from the Dragon Emperor Realm, they seldom emerge into the world. Even if one truly stood before you, would you provoke them?”

This voice was so loud it overpowered the waves of accusatory voices, ensuring everyone in the auction hall heard him.

”Makes sense!”

”What he says is absolutely right. If I had this item in hand, who would dare provoke me when I venture out for training in the future?”

”With the Spirit Split of the Heart-Destroying Beast, it truly can deter all powerful beings below the Dragon Emperor Realm, and how could people from the Dragon Emperor Realm carelessly make a move?”

”Haha, I want this item—twelve billion!”

”Think you can win the Spirit Split of the Heart-Destroying Beast for twelve billion? What a joke—thirteen billion!”

”Fifteen billion!”

”Seventeen billion!”

”Twenty billion!”

Following Su Han’s words, an immediate understanding dawned on the crowd, clearing up the quandary in their minds.

Because what Su Han said truly made sense, if this item were used in an attack, it truly could kill an opponent, but if there were too many enemies, one would still die.

But if one didn’t present it and only used it as a deterrent, then one’s enemies would really have to seriously consider their options.

Su Han was right about one thing, nobody wants to die.

The Heart-Destroying Beast’s attack targets the mind and spirit, first killing the soul, then the body.

Once someone died under its attack, there wouldn’t even be the possibility of reincarnation, thus the deterrent effect was even greater.

”Thirty-six billion!”

In the blink of an eye, the price of the Heart-Destroying Beast Incarnation had been bid up to thirty-six billion.

From within VIP room number one, Song Mingshu’s face was somewhat grim as he ground his teeth and said, ”I can tell, it’s that bastard Su Baliu!”

”Is this your so-called investigation?” Yun Congcong cast a cold glance at him.

”Hmph, if it weren’t for him, this Heart-Destroying Beast Incarnation wouldn’t have reached such a price, it might even be unwanted!” Song Mingshu clenched his fists.

Meanwhile on the stage, Yun Qianqian’s gaze shifted to Su Han, with her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude.

”I must warn you, you’re a man with a wife and children now, you can’t be flirting around outside,” Nangong Yu teased from within VIP room number two.

Su Han glanced at her, ”If I really wanted to flirt, I would look for someone as beautiful as you, wouldn’t I?”

”Oh, someone truly wishes to marry you!” Nangong Yu coquettishly retorted.

Although she was pretending, she was extremely beautiful in her own right, and at that moment, feigning coquettishness, pouting, and shaking her body, she made everyone around her, including Liuyun and Zhou Jie, swallow hard.

Ultimately, the Heart-Destroying Beast Incarnation was sold for the price of 78 billion Spirit Stones.

This was already incredibly high, after all, Song Mingshu had a point, this item could only attack once, and under normal circumstances, if it could sell for around 30 billion, that would be considered quite good, but now, it had doubled.

Song Mingshu was so angry that he nearly slammed his hand on the table, he knew that reaching this price had a lot to do with his own provocative words.

If he hadn’t spoken out, Su Han wouldn’t have either, and the auction would have proceeded very plainly, and the price would definitely not have been driven up so high.

”Next we will auction the second item...”

Yun Qianqian smiled as she began speaking, beside her another tray appeared, from which she pulled the red cloth.

The moment the cloth was removed, an astonishing radiance burst forth.

It was a golden light, which illuminated the entire dark auction hall like a sun hanging high in the sky above.

”Jin Yang Pill!”

Yun Qianqian gently lifted her hand as if cradling the pill and spoke, ”This pill is of Purple Gold Level Peak quality, and though it does not enhance one’s Cultivation Base, everyone knows of the Jin Yang Patriarch, right? This pill is the last batch of pills refined before the Jin Yang Patriarch’s passing, and there are only two! Imprinted within it is the Jin Yang Patriarch’s legacy. If fortune favors the finder, one may very well obtain the Jin Yang Patriarch’s legacy from it!”

”Jin Yang Patriarch? A Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouse?!”

”The Jin Yang Patriarch is a world-renowned Alchemical Master, and the pills he refined don’t increase Cultivation Base but directly imprint a legacy!”

”The Jin Yang Patriarch’s legacy... Even a hint of it is coveted!”

Excitement immediately filled the eyes of the crowd below as they waited for Yun Qianqian to set the starting bid.

”The starting bid for this item is also ten billion Spirit Stones, with each bid increment being no less than ten million,” Yun Qianqian said.

”Ten...”

Someone immediately wanted to bid, but before he could finish his sentence, Song Mingshu’s voice rang out again.

”To my knowledge, another Jin Yang Pill has already been acquired by someone, who consumed it but did not receive the Jin Yang Patriarch’s legacy. Am I right?”
