NOVEL NEXT Hysterical Han Feng
Huo Xuan retorted with an overbearing tone, "Such big talk. After all these years, I've seen all kinds of situations. In a small corner like Black-Corner Region, a mere Tier-6 alchemist in the little Black Corner might be something, but compared to the entire Central Plains, what are you?"
Huo Xuan's aura exploded, enveloping the entire Heaven Ascending Pavilion in powerful pressure. Han Feng felt his bones crackling, as if they might shatter at any moment.
"Pavilion Master Li, save me!" Han Feng shouted.
He could only seek help from Li Xiao to suppress Huo Xuan, as the only ones who could save him were the experts of Heaven Ascending Pavilion.
Buzz!
The entire Heaven Ascending Pavilion shook. A powerful shockwave instantly shattered Huo Xuan's Dou Qi. Moreover, an overwhelming pressure severely damaged Huo Xuan's spiritual power!
Li Xiao turned his gaze to the third floor where Huo Xuan was and said calmly, "Did you not read the rules? No infighting is allowed during the auction. Do you think we, Heaven Ascending Pavilion, are merely a joke?"
The members of the Eight Great Clans were naturally proud and unruly. While Huo Xuan had a good temperament, he still looked down on those he considered inferior. He wouldn't treat someone of equal status like this, but the idea that a mere Han Feng would dare to compete with him for the Heavenly Flame was intolerable!
Without Huo Xuan's pressure, Han Feng managed to lift his head, feeling significantly better. However, the physical pain was still evident, and he had to use pills to maintain his condition.
Huo Xuan frowned, becoming more curious about Heaven Ascending Pavilion. The ability to shatter his Dou Qi with a single sentence proved their unfathomable strength.
What Huo Xuan didn't know was that the force that shattered his Dou Qi earlier came from Heaven Ascending Pavilion itself, not Li Xiao's true strength. After all, Li Xiao was merely a Dou Spirit. Without Heaven Ascending Pavilion's protection, he would have been dead long ago.
Huo Xuan bowed slightly, saying, "My apologies, Pavilion Master Li. I was too impulsive just now."
Li Xiao responded, "Since that's the case, then continue with the auction obediently. Otherwise, I'll have you expelled from Heaven Ascending Pavilion."
"Let's proceed with the auction!"
Huo Xuan clenched his fists and declared, "Ten Tier-7 pills, three mid-grade Earth-class Dou techniques, plus one hundred million gold coins!"
Xiao Yan was astounded, "Unbelievable, the things he offered far exceeds everyone else's offers."
Yao Chen nodded, "Indeed, whether it's the pills or the Dou techniques, they are priceless treasures. If the pills are of high quality, their price increases exponentially. Han Feng stands no chance of getting the Bone Chilling Flame now."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan cheered inwardly. A traitorous disciple like Han Feng didn't deserve to possess his master's Bone Chilling Flame. If it weren't for Heaven Ascending Pavilion's strict rules, the earlier pressure would have shattered Han Feng's bones!
Han Feng's veins bulged on his forehead, his expression twisted in rage. "Damn it! Why did you have to show up now, just when the Heavenly Flame is being auctioned? You're deliberately making things difficult for me!"
"What, do you have a problem with that?" Huo Xuan retorted, his gaze was cold. "Han Feng, don't think that just because the Pavilion Master of Heaven Ascending Pavilion is protecting you, you can speak arrogantly in front of me. Do you believe that once you leave the range of Heaven Ascending Pavilion, I can't crush you with just a finger?"
Han Feng wanted to retort, but his companions quickly stopped him. Continuing might truly provoke the Dou Venerate expert. People from the Central Plains were not to be trifled with!
The Blood Sect's leader, Fan Lao, immediately left Heaven Ascending Pavilion, terrified that he might incur the wrath of the Dou Venerate. He didn't want to die because of this farce.
Han Feng's breathing became labored, his mind raging. "Damn it... why does everyone oppose me? I have unparalleled talent, rare in this world. My alchemy skills and cultivation speed are perfect. But then I had to encounter them!"
"First that old man, if he had handed over Fen Jue earlier, I would have honored him. It's his fault for not recognizing my talent!"
Han Feng's face twisted with rage. He hated his lack of power and despised everyone who defied him, including his master and the Yan Clan. They all deserved to die!
"Han Feng, calm down!" Ban Lao could see Han Feng's furious expression and hurriedly tried to stop him. If this continued, the Black-Corner Region forces might be annihilated!
Li Xiao glanced at Han Feng and reminded him indifferently, "Han Feng, you'd better stop now. Otherwise, even I can't save you."
This statement echoed like thunder in Han Feng's mind. He suddenly stood up, a metallic taste rising in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He looked at the Bone Chilling Flame on the crystal platform with deep resentment and unwillingness before collapsing to the ground in a faint.
Huo Xuan sneered, "Short-sighted fool. To think you could obtain the Bone Chilling Flame. Look at yourself; you're nothing."
"Such a narrow-minded person, no wonder you betrayed your master. It's a disgrace that the great Medicine Venerate died at your hands!"
Huo Xuan then turned his gaze to Li Xiao.
"Pavilion Master, shall we proceed?"
"Ten Tier-7 pills, three mid-grade Earth-class Dou techniques, plus one hundred million gold coins, going once!"
"Ten Tier-7 pills, three mid-grade Earth-class Dou techniques, plus one hundred million gold coins, going twice!"
"Any more bids?"
Li Xiao glanced around the private rooms, occasionally looking at Xiao Yan. If there were no further bids, he would drop the hammer.
"Then, Ten Tier-7 pills, three mid-grade Earth-class Dou techniques, plus one hundred million gold coins. Sold!"
"Let's congratulate the esteemed guest in private room no. 3 for successfully winning the 11th-ranked Bone Chilling Flame with Ten Tier-7 pills, three mid-grade Earth-class Dou techniques, plus one hundred million gold coins!"
"The auction has concluded. Please complete your payments and leave Heaven Ascending Pavilion. Also, no fighting is allowed within a fifty-mile radius of Heaven Ascending Pavilion. Violators will be executed without mercy!"
The crowd left reluctantly, but they were amazed by the auction's excitement. Whether it was the SKy Demon Puppet, the eight-colored Lightning Tier-8 Bodhisattva Pill, or the Bone Chilling Flame, all were unimaginably priceless treasures.
Next time, they vowed to come earlier to bid on more treasures.
Huo Xuan approached Li Xiao with a smile, "Pavilion Master Li, I'm curious about the origins of Heaven Ascending Pavilion. Could you enlighten me?"
Wearing an apologetic smile, Li Xiao replied politely, "I'm sorry, Brother Huo Xuan. Heaven Ascending Pavilion has its own rules. Even as the Pavilion Master, I cannot disclose them."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan from the Yan Clan simply responded with an understanding nod. Since Pavilion Master Li Xiao had said so, he couldn't continue to pry. He took his Bone Chilling Flame and left Heaven Ascending Pavilion.
