The faint glow of runes flowed along the blade of the sword, which had multiple curves, aptly named the Nine-Curved Reincarnation. From the hilt, it resembled a silver snake! The snake coiled in nine curves, revealing the lethal intent of this reincarnation sword.
Each curve was almost like a groove for bloodletting. Even though the material it was made from was indiscernible, just the introduction of its third-level runes and its inherent Martial Technique: Azure Thunder Calamity was enough to stir countless martial artists' hearts!
Ye Feng's Seven Transformations of Chaos Decision had long been mastered, but when it came to sheer attacking power, lightning attributes were still the most formidable. The Nine-Curved Reincarnation before him was both restrained and sharp, as if tailor-made for him! He could afford one hundred thousand taels, but he feared that the price of this sword would far exceed that!
Remembering that his main purpose for coming was still to acquire materials for the Heavenly Origin Pill's Alchemy, Ye Feng suppressed his desire and remained motionless in his seat, wanting to see who would ultimately claim this extraordinary sword!
Soon, the first bidder raised their paddle, with "one hundred fifty thousand" written on it!
Wow! What a generous opening bid! This drew the attention and criticism of the crowd. Ye Feng couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that raising the price shouldn't be done like this. Thanks to Tiger's introduction earlier, he had figured out that many auction items likely had people inflating their prices.
These individuals were basically agents of Exchange, who would go to any lengths to ensure items sold for high prices by artificially inflating bids from the start!
However, this time, the chatter continued for quite a while because, aside from that first bidder, no one else continued to bid! This was somewhat perplexing; regardless of anything else, the Nine-Curved Reincarnation could conservatively be estimated to fetch between three hundred thousand and five hundred thousand.
Yet at just one hundred fifty thousand, no one else was willing to raise their bid? The atmosphere in the room grew cold as the Hostess maintained her professional demeanor and said without changing her expression, "Nine-Curved Reincarnation Sword, one hundred fifty thousand once!"
"Hiss!" A collective intake of breath echoed through the crowd; no one expected that truly no one wanted it! Although some began to waver in their resolve, they feared that first bidder might raise their bid again. At that point, they would still end up empty-handed and embarrassed!
Ye Feng watched from behind with a cold smile; it was truly a case of catching an eagle only to be pecked by it in return!
Before long, the Hostess on stage called out for the second time!
"Nine-Curved Reincarnation, one hundred fifty thousand, second time!"
The crowd below stirred even more intensely; yet still no one raised their bid! The first bidder's face darkened; he showed no signs of joy at what seemed like an impending victory. Clearly anxious himself, he was obviously an agent of Exchange as murmurs began to spread!
Ye Feng found these people's antics quite entertaining and felt a sense of schadenfreude. Just as the Hostess on stage prepared to finalize the auction with a hammer strike, a voice finally emerged from a corner!
"One hundred ten thousand..." The soft voice spread through the room and immediately attracted everyone's attention. No one expected that at such a critical moment, someone couldn't resist placing a bid. However, this price left everyone puzzled!
"Others are at one hundred fifty thousand, and you offer eleven thousand? Are you adding eleven thousand on top of that?"
Ye Feng also looked over, eager to see what the owner of that voice was thinking. Soon, a youthful face appeared in his view. This young man could only be described with one phrase: refreshingly unique!
If it weren't for the prominent Adam's apple, Ye Feng might have mistaken him for a girl disguised as a boy! From the first impression, he felt that the other party was either a scion of a noble family or someone from a major sect. That aura of an extraordinary person couldn't be hidden even at a young age!
"Excuse me, did you say eleven thousand?" The hostess clearly didn't understand the meaning behind the price increase and gently asked.
Everyone else was thinking the same thing, waiting for the response! Unexpectedly, the young man replied without courtesy, "Is your hearing bad? I said eleven thousand; do you need me to repeat it twice?"
"Hiss!" Today, the crowd seemed to gasp more than usual! This was because this guy either didn't understand the rules or was here to cause trouble!
"It seems like there's going to be a good show!" Ye Feng's eyes sparkled; he wanted to cheer for that guy. However, exposing himself and getting involved at this moment didn't seem appropriate. He decided to continue watching to see how it would end!
However, this situation was far from a simple joke. The hostess's expression turned cold; she had no intention of giving him another chance to explain and began to issue an eviction notice.
"Please leave through your right side; we do not welcome troublemakers here. Next time you come, make sure to understand the rules! Otherwise, we will escort you out, and it won't be pleasant!"
With her words delivered in an unmistakably harsh tone, everyone thought that the young man would obediently leave. After all, no one dared provoke the behind-the-scenes host of this exchange!
Unfortunately, this refreshingly unique-looking man surprised everyone again! He laughed heartily, unabashed by his exaggerated smile, exuding an elegance that even women would envy!
"It seems your Dark Exchange's reputation is not unfounded! It's so dark here; I merely offered a price I thought was reasonable, and you want to kick me out? I'm wondering if it weren't for your insider support, wouldn't my initial bid have been quite reasonable?"
Everyone knew that the one hundred fifty thousand was a ruse, but no one dared to say it out loud because doing so would mean causing trouble. Throughout history, no one who caused trouble in this place had ended well! The crowd looked at the young man with admiration but also some pity.
What a good young man, yet he was so oblivious! Only Ye Feng observed this young man with great interest. He released three senses from head to toe, sensing the young man's strength! In the end, as expected!
This seemingly frivolous youth was actually a hidden Xuanwu Realm expert! It seemed Ye Feng's earlier guess was correct! At such a young age and with such strength, he must either come from a prominent family or be a Core Disciple from a major sect's Inner Sect!
What puzzled Ye Feng was who could be so bored as to cause trouble in this place. Didn't he fear the consequences?
The other two auras were directed towards the surroundings of the Auction House. Ye Feng could sense that several Martial Saints had locked onto this location. If the young man truly made a move against them, those hidden Martial Saints would likely act without hesitation.
Ye Feng sighed inwardly. Regardless, under the presence of those Martial Saints, he did not believe that this guy would come out unscathed unless...
"You will pay for your foolishness!" The Hostess on stage coldly uttered these words before attempting to leave the platform and head to the back. At that moment, an unexpected change occurred! The handsome young man suddenly sprang into action!
He flashed with Thunder Light and, in an instant, moved onto the platform with an enchanting step, wrapping his arms around the Hostess who was trying to retreat. At the same time, he seized the Nine-Curved Reincarnation Sword!
Incredible! He was actually serious!
"Bold!" The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, even Ye Feng did not expect him to dare take action! Everyone was stunned, standing in place and watching the scene unfold between the man and woman, unsure of what to do!
The ones shouting "bold" were several guards! Seeing this situation, a few guards at the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm erupted with energy, wielding their blades and charging forward!
Under normal circumstances, such a display would have frightened everyone into submission! But the young man didn’t even blink; he freed one hand and lightly waved the Reincarnation Sword! The rune-activated Martial Technique—Azure Thunder Calamity—was effortlessly unleashed!
"Crackling!" "Boom!" A series of thunderous explosions sent those guards from the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm flying! Finally, everyone snapped out of their stupor and began to flee in panic! This level of power clash was not something anyone could withstand!
Ye Feng remained where he was, squinting his eyes as he wanted to continue watching because the main event had yet to unfold!
"You are seeking death!" Impressively, the kidnapped Hostess showed no signs of fear; her face was slightly pale, but she stubbornly said.
The young man seemed unfazed and ignored her completely, laughing heartily: "Good sword, good sword! With my lightning-based movement technique, this Nine-Curved Reincarnation is simply tailor-made for me!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine. He thought similarly; however, since this person had already taken the initiative, it was inconvenient for him to intervene. Moreover, he remained in place mainly because he wanted to see if those Martial Saints would make a move!
The answer was affirmative! Incidents involving Martial Saints at Dark Exchange were rare but not unheard of! The fact that it continued to operate smoothly indicated many things! The hidden auras of Martial Saints around soon revealed their true nature!
Three powerful beams of light shot out from three different directions, aiming for the young man's forehead and knees! It seemed they intended to cripple him!
But the young man was no ordinary person. As the beams approached in an instant, given his situation, the best method would have been to use the woman he had taken hostage as a shield! Ye Feng thought he would do just that! However, he did not!
He simply swung his sword! With the woman in tow, he gracefully evaded the three deadly strikes! Bang! Bang! Bang! The platform shattered into pieces! The young man and the woman landed lightly on the ground!
They landed three feet in front of Ye Feng. The young man looked at him, furrowing his brow, and lightly smiled, saying, "Brother, could you please make way?"
Ye Feng remained unmoved like a mountain, his expression calm as he observed the fleeting panic in the woman's eyes and her strange movements as a hostage. It seemed he suddenly understood something and revealed a hint of a playful smile!
Seeing this, the young man changed his grip on the sword, cold light flashing in his eyes!
Ye Feng showed no fear in response to his Cold Edge and said lightly, "You're not playing with your life; you're playing with fire!"
"What?" The young man was taken aback, somewhat confused!
Ye Feng secretly activated his True Qi and mockingly said, "Playing with your life is your own business, but playing with fire will burn everyone!"
With those words, the truth was finally revealed!
