Chapter 308 – Sky High Prices (1/2)

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.
