Chu Chaoyun was somewhat surprised. Lyria's Martial Spirit was rather special. Her method of hiding her aura was something that even a regular Martial King would not be able to discover.
"The owner of booth 18 is the old friend that Senior Brother met in Liushang Pavilion."
Chu Chaoyun said, "So, it is him. No wonder you were discovered. There is no need to bother about him for now. I have already obtained what I wanted. I can leave after the auction ends. "
Soon, the auction reached its final round. The auctioneer took out the first item of the eighth round and smiled, "The next item is a lightning-attributed peak Earth Ranked Martial Technique, Wukui Saber Technique.
"According to legend, the Wukui Saber is a divine tree born from lightning. In the Ancient Era, there was a strong cultivator who comprehended under the Wukui Tree. From there, he created the Wukui Saber Technique.
"Of course, the one in my hands is not the true ancient copy. It is just a Martial Technique that was completed using the incomplete Wukui Saber Technique. Although it does not have the might of the legends, it is considered a peak Earth Ranked Saber Technique.
"To all the bladesmen here, this is a rare Martial Technique. The starting bid is still ten thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones."
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. He had finally found what he had been waiting for. He did not hesitate to call out, "Fifty thousand!"
"The person from booth 18 made a move again. This time, he actually wants this Saber Technique. Fortunately, I do not need it."
"Ha ha, I do not need it either. Otherwise, I would not be able to outbid him."
"Damn it, I was just looking for a lightning-attributed Saber Technique. There is no hope now."
"I can't be bothered to bid anymore. I definitely cannot outbid this person. Even if I bid, it would be pointless."
Seeing that no one made a bid in the noisy hall, Xiao Chen did not expect that he could achieve such an effect.
When the auctioneer saw this, he became very anxious. Normally, this peak Earth Ranked Martial Technique would fetch at least two hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Now, no one made a bid at fifty thousand.
The auctioneer called out a few more times, but no one made a bid. This is a great loss. The auctioneer cursed Xiao Chen in his heart. In the end, he could only say helplessly, "Fifty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. This Martial Technique belongs to booth 18."
Xiao Chen revealed a faint smile and said, "Looks like having too much money can scare people to death. This is a bargain for me."
Xiao Chen had finally obtained what he had been waiting for. He had basically achieved his goal in this auction. However, as for the other eight Secret Treasures, he had no choice but to take a look.
After four hours, the auction came to an end. Linlang Pavilion sent someone to deliver the items that Xiao Chen had bid for to the private room.
Linlang Pavilion had a professional appraiser. Xiao Chen's high ranked Demonic Cores were sold without a hitch. After selling the Demon Cores, Xiao Chen started to pay the bill.
A bottle of Quintessence Gathering Pills, two Secret Treasures, and a lightning-attributed Martial Technique — a total of one million and fifty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. Xiao Chen still had more than four thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones left.
Xiao Chen placed the items in the Universe Ring and pushed open the door to the private room. He immediately felt an intense killing intent. He smiled faintly and ignored it. Xiao Chen walked out of the door.
When Mu Chengxue saw Xiao Chen leave, he revealed a faint smile on his handsome face as he held the Holy Weapon, Beauty Under the Moonlight. He said, "So, it is him!"
In the depths of Mu Chengxue's right eye, there was a simple and unadorned bronze mirror spinning rapidly. It clearly saw through Xiao Chen's disguise.
Not long after Xiao Chen left Linlang Pavilion, he was immediately blocked by Mu Chengxue and the others on the street.
Mu Chengxue had a cold smile on his handsome face. It made his exquisite face look even more enchanting.
He looked at Xiao Chen and said indifferently, "I seem to remember that we met outside Yunyang City."
Xiao Chen had a good memory. He was very familiar with this person. He nodded and said, "We have indeed met before. However, you did not block me today just to say that, right?"
Mu Chengxue did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Give me ten Quintessence Gathering Pills. I will give you a hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones."
Xiao Chen had spent five hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones to buy Quintessence Gathering Pills. However, there were only twenty of them. Ten of them, even if he bought them at normal cost, would cost twenty-five Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
However, Mu Chengxue was only willing to pay a hundred thousand. This was no different from daylight robbery.
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "Sorry, this is not for sale. Please move aside, I still have matters to attend to!"
"Hu!"
Mu Chengxue's right hand moved with a 'sou' sound. He casually placed it on Xiao Chen's shoulder and said softly, "Did I say you can leave? You dare to snatch something that I, Mu Chengxue, have set my eyes on. I will say it again, are you selling or not?! "
Mu Chengxue's voice was very soft, but it did not contain any emotions. It was incomparably cold and contained a boundless killing intent.
A cold light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He replied coldly, "Let go, I am not familiar with you!"
"Ka ca!"
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, he placed his right hand on the saber hilt at lightning speed. He immediately executed the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique's Drawing the Saber.
Mu Chengxue's reaction was not slower than Xiao Chen's. In fact, he was even faster. By the time Xiao Chen's right hand touched the saber hilt, Mu Chengxue had already unsheathed his sword.
"Bang!"
Two dazzling lights flashed in the air. The saber and sword clashed in the air, giving off a melodious clang. A strong wind blew on the street.
Xiao Chen's saber arrived first despite being launched later. Although he was slower than his opponent, he used the technique of Drawing the Saber to increase his speed.
The two of them each took five steps back. A huge force rebounded from the saber to their arms. This caused Xiao Chen's right hand, which was holding the saber, to go numb. He could not help but become more cautious.
Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the clear sky. From time to time, muffled sounds of thunder could be heard from the rolling clouds.
Mu Chengxue looked at the dark clouds in the sky and said indifferently, "Small Perfection state of thunder. No wonder you dare to make a move against me. Unfortunately, it is only Small Perfection."
"Hu chi!"
Suddenly, a strong wind blew behind Mu Chengxue. Occasionally, there would be lightning tearing through the sky. The other Night Spirit Palace disciples quickly moved to the side.
"This is First Senior Brother's state of wind and thunder. This fellow is dead for sure," one of the Night Spirit Palace disciples who was injured by Xiao Chen said excitedly.
Mu Yanxue stood quietly at the side, remaining silent. She did not express her opinion. To her, this was a good opportunity to observe Mu Chengxue's true strength.
The clouds churned in the sky, the strong wind howled, and lightning flashed. The commotion was huge, attracting the attention of almost all the pedestrians on the street.
Xiao Chen's gaze was calm, as calm as water. Mu Chengxue was able to perfectly merge the two states of wind and thunder. He was truly worthy of being the top expert of the Night Spirit Palace.
"Hu chi!"
Mu Chengxue pushed off the ground and a strong wind blew for no reason. Mu Chengxue's body soared into the air. The sword in his hand, which was as gentle as moonlight, contained a boundless killing intent as it stabbed at Xiao Chen.
A cold light flashed on the sword and a horrifying bolt of lightning appeared in the strong wind. Before the sword arrived, the bolt of lightning had already arrived before Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art. His figure flashed on the ground, creating a purple arc. He dodged the lightning bolt before it arrived.
"Boom!"
The lightning bolt blasted a large hole in the place where Xiao Chen was originally standing. It kicked up a lot of dust, but the strong wind immediately blew it away.
The instant the strong wind scattered, Xiao Chen's figure appeared behind Mu Chengxue. There was a loud crack of thunder in the sky.
Xiao Chen carried the surging momentum of thunder as he hacked at Mu Chengxue with the Lunar Shadow Saber. Mu Chengxue flicked his wrist and his sword immediately blocked Xiao Chen's attack. "Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! "
The two of them attacked very quickly in the air. When the saber and sword clashed, thunder and lightning appeared continuously. It was so loud that it hurt the eardrums of everyone present.
Shockwaves that could be seen with the naked eye spread out from the two of them. When the shockwaves spread out, some of the buildings on the street were immediately crushed into dust.
There was an increasing amount of dust in the strong wind. The surrounding people could no longer see the situation clearly. They could only guess the intensity of the battle from the incessant shouts.
A light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He found an opportunity and immediately executed the Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations and the Clear Wind Chop.
Amidst the strong wind and lightning, Xiao Chen turned into nine figures. There were nine gentle breezes blowing on each figure.
In an instant, Xiao Chen's killing Qi suddenly disappeared amidst the intense battle. It was very strange.
Mu Chengxue smiled faintly and said, "Qingyun Peak's secret technique, Clear Wind Chop. You can only see the cool breeze and not the saber. It is just an insignificant skill."
The Holy Weapon, Beauty Under the Moonlight, gave off a magnificent glow. There was a gentle golden moonlight on the sword.
Amidst the blurry moonlight, there seemed to be a girl chanting softly.
As the girl chanted softly, the surrounding space rippled like countless waves on the surface of water. Mu Chengxue's figure instantly became very blurry.
Xiao Chen was startled. This was the Dao of the Holy Weapon. Mu Chengxue used the Holy Weapon to temporarily change the laws of this space.
"Sou!"
The nine figures merged into one in the air and passed through Murong Xue's blurry figure. However, Mu Chengxue's figure appeared in front of Xiao Chen like a mirror image.
Xiao Chen had a mocking smile as he looked at Xiao Chen. Then, he quickly flew towards Mu Chengxue. However, at this moment, the distance between him and Mu Chengxue seemed like an eternity.
No matter how Xiao Chen moved, Mu Chengxue's figure was always ten meters in front of him. To Xiao Chen, ten meters was merely a step. However, this step was a step.
Although Xiao Chen was astonished, he did not panic too much. He maintained his composure. Suddenly, Xiao Chen stopped and used his Spiritual Sense to protect his body. Then, he slowly descended.
Even so, Mu Chengxue's figure remained ten meters away from him, slowly descending with him.
"Pu ci!"
A resplendent beam of moonlight suddenly shone on Xiao Chen's eyes. The melodious voice of a girl rang in Xiao Chen's ears.
The moonlight blurred Xiao Chen's vision. The girl's voice interfered with Xiao Chen's hearing. Space started to ripple rapidly. Instantly, Xiao Chen's five senses were all gone.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and suddenly grasped the air with his left hand, grabbing the incoming sword blade.
Mu Chengxue's face was filled with astonishment. He said, "That's impossible. Your five senses are all gone. How can you know where I am attacking?"
Xiao Chen remained silent. The Lunar Shadow Saber flickered with a purple light as he chopped at Mu Chengxue's body.
