Chapter 1571 - 1444: Auction (Part 2)
"Barbaric Dragon Claw!"
Long Gang employed the Wild Dragon Technique, transforming his hand into a claw, fiercely grabbing towards Scar Dragon. The claw’s momentum was like a wild dragon emerging from the sea, and the True Qi in the air seemed to shatter, heading straight for Scar Dragon’s face.
The onlookers, witnessing the power carried by Long Gang’s strike, seemed to envisage Scar Dragon being crushed into pulp, each turning their heads away, unable to bear watching.
Scar Dragon, observing the fierce attack before him, suddenly shrank his pupils.
Originally, with the Golden Snake Spear, he could still put up a fight, but since it had been severed by Ye Guichen, facing the close combat body cultivation, a deep sense of powerlessness surged in Scar Dragon’s heart.
Nevertheless, Scar Dragon wouldn’t sit idly by; his hands kept changing, weaving a golden shield in the air, placing it in front of him.
"Bang!"
The Barbaric Dragon Claw effortlessly shattered the golden shield instantly, continuing to grab towards Scar Dragon.
At that moment, a hand wrapped directly around Long Gang’s hand, and the claw suddenly stopped mid-air. Long Gang was stunned, seemingly not expecting his Barbaric Dragon Claw to be neutralized, looking woodenly at the person before him.
Scar Dragon, seeing the attack not landing on him for a long time, couldn’t help but be puzzled.
"City Lord Shen, it’s City Lord Shen!" someone beside them recognized Shen Qianjun, exclaimed.
A chubby man bending to pick up Spirit Stones paused his action upon hearing people’s words, raising his head to look at Shen Qianjun with tremor.
"City Lord Shen, why are you here?" the chubby man said tremblingly.
"I’ve been standing behind Mr. Ye all along, are you blind?" Shen Qianjun questioned.
"This..." Listening to Shen Qianjun, the chubby man was immediately at a loss, hurriedly kneeling before Shen Qianjun, his body involuntarily trembling.
"Humph!" Shen Qianjun snorted coldly, looking at the chubby man with eyes full of anger.
"This man is my friend, let him in." Shen Qianjun pointed at Scar Dragon, his words leaving no room for refusal.
The chubby man on the ground heard Shen Qianjun’s words, his eyes showing a struggling look, and resolutely said, "City Lord, the Black Robe Lord said that no one without an invitation may enter."
"Huh? Black Robe Lord!" Shen Qianjun was shocked to hear the chubby man’s words, the Black Robe person was in the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, saying as he looked up and gazed at the top floor of the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
Suddenly, a form of soul attack surged towards Shen Qianjun, seemingly displeased with being peeked at.
Shen Qianjun sensed the rapid soul attack, his expression changed dramatically.
"Huh?"
Ye Guichen sensed the soul power coming from the top floor, his expression flickered. Activating his Fiery Eye, he focused on the incoming soul attack, his eyes suddenly condensed, making the soul attack dissipate into the air instantly.
Seeing the soul attack being nullified by Ye Guichen, Shen Qianjun secretly marveled at Ye Guichen’s strength, immediately filled with confidence, turned to coldly look at the chubby man on the ground.
Coldly said, "As the City Lord of Mingpan City, Spirit Treasure Pavilion belongs to Mingpan City, do I need you to tell me if I can bring someone into the auction?"
"Oh, City Lord Shen, what a mighty authority! As a City Lord, instead of benefiting the people, you threaten them?" Gu Quan’an sneered sarcastically from the side.
With Ye Guichen’s help, Shen Qianjun was not afraid of Gu Quan’an at all, dismissively glanced at Gu Quan’an, "As the City Lord of Mingpan City, I don’t need you to teach me how to do my job, but you might need to first teach your son!"
Gu Cangsheng seemed to hear someone talking about him from the side, showing a silly grin, clapping and cheering continuously.
The people around watching Gu Cangsheng’s demeanor were half-covering their faces, suppressing the laughter in their hearts.
Seeing the reaction of the people around, Gu Quan’an was furious, barely containing his anger, not good to stay longer, he stormed inside with Gu Cangsheng in anger.
Silently thought in his heart, "After the auction ends, I will make you taste the suffering of being skinned and torn apart!"
Having seen Gu Quan’an getting thwarted, Shen Qianjun felt great satisfaction, waved his hand, and the chubby man was swept aside instantly, leading Scar Dragon quickly inside.
The group swiftly entered the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, greeted by a luxurious golden hall. The walls adorned with numerous dragon heads, spewing candle fire continuously, and there were many private boxes on the second floor, looking extremely lavish.
Shen Qianjun led Ye Guichen directly to the first private box with the best view to take a seat.
Soon, the auction hall was filled with people. Ye Guichen sank his mind and glanced at the other boxes. To his surprise, he discovered several powerful auras, all Nascent Soul Realm monsters indeed.
Among these Nascent Soul Realm, Ye Guichen surprisingly found a familiar face, it was Uncle Fu from the edge city’s slums, wondering in his heart: "Why is he here?"
"Hello, everyone, and welcome to the annual auction event."
A petite, lusciously-dressed woman, her face covered with a veil, stepped onto the stage.
Her voice seemed to possess an enchanting power, stirring cheers before the auction even began.
At that moment, an emaciated old man, holding a cane, eyes empty as if devoid of spirit, indifferently said, "For this auction, each increment must be at least one hundred Spirit Stones, the highest bidder wins, the auction starts!"
As soon as the words fell, a woman brought forth a black medicine bottle from below, introducing with a pleasant voice: "This pill is named Ice Heart Pill, crafted from Seven-star Ice Grass of the Ice Ying Valley. It has the effect of calming the mind and heart, aiding in overcoming inner demons during breakthroughs, increasing the success rate. Starting price is one thousand Spirit Stones."
