Chapter 822: 820: One Billion!

Chapter 822: Chapter 820: One Billion!

“Two billion!”

Hong Wuji shouted the price, then looked down with fiery eyes.

He knew that this price wouldn’t scare off those truly wanting the Lonely Star Sword, but he wanted to exhibit a strong attitude.

That’s the arrogance belonging to Red Leaf Valley!

Sure enough, the price of two billion shocked the martial artists below, but soon someone called out another price.

“Two billion ten million!”

“Two billion twenty million!”

…

Soon, quotes were coming from all the VIP rooms, and the price for the Lonely Star Sword quickly rose to two billion fifty million.

The people below were stunned; they could only gaze up at such a price, but the tense and exciting atmosphere made their blood boil.

“Two billion seventy million!”

Suddenly, a deep voice rang out, carrying a mighty pressure.

“This aura, could it be a Third Level Venerable!” Many were shocked, as the sharp Sword Intent in the sky made it impossible for them to lift their heads.

“Kuang Jian Venerable!”

“It’s Kuang Jian Venerable!”

Low murmurs came from many VIP rooms, clearly indicating surprise and doubt about the identity of the bidder.

A Venerable is very powerful, but there’s another type of Venerable that’s even stronger, that’s the titled Venerable.

This kind of person is particularly powerful among Venerables.

Kuang Jian Venerable is just such a martial artist.

He is a Third Level Venerable; due to his overwhelming and powerful swordsmanship, terrifying combat prowess, he is called Kuang Jian Venerable.

“Didn’t expect Kuang Jian Venerable to come too.”

“Indeed, this makes things much more interesting.”

“Kuang Jian Venerable is not only strong, but his temper is very violent. If he doesn’t get the Lonely Star Sword this time, he might go mad.”

Many discussed, and some martial artists, intimidated by Kuang Jian Venerable’s bid, abandoned the competition.

However, not everyone feared Kuang Jian Venerable, especially in front of such a Half Earth-grade Treasure, people tended to act crazily.

At least, Hong Wuji didn’t care.

“Three billion!”

His eyes were fervent, staring tightly at the Crystal Platform below.

“The Lonely Star Sword will definitely be mine!”

Backed by Red Leaf Valley, plus his own strong strength, Hong Wuji may not be able to defeat Kuang Jian Venerable, but he wasn’t afraid at all.

So, shortly after Kuang Jian Venerable’s bid, he immediately raised the price.

“Wow, people from Red Leaf Valley have bid again! Truly arrogant!”

“Yeah, they really don’t put Kuang Jian Venerable in their eyes at all!”

Everyone was surprised, not expecting Hong Wuji to be so bold.

In VIP room number three, Kuang Jian Venerable snorted coldly as well, standing proudly, filled with an unruly aura.

“Three billion thirty million!” He bid again.

“Three billion forty million!”

Besides Hong Wuji, there were still strong bidders; faced with such a treasure, no one could remain rational.

Yan Family, Leng Family, and other families were also bidding. Although they knew they wouldn’t get the item, they still used a sneaky strategy to raise the price in secret.

But when the price reached four billion, those families gave up; after bidding so much, further action might attract too much attention.

Now, only the strong figures from outside Wind-Seeking City remained in the competition.

Among them, Kuang Jian Venerable and Hong Wuji were the most fiercely contested, besides there a few others who, though spoke seldom, made shocking bids each time.

“Four billion!”

In one VIP room, a young man with a cold visage spoke.

Besides him, there was an irreverent young man and a beautiful woman.

These three were the three Yan Family disciples who entered midway earlier.

It seemed their goal was also the Lonely Star Sword.

Upon hearing the bid, everyone was shocked again, because the voice sounded very youthful, clearly a young person.

A young martial artist able to quote such a price, undoubtedly came from an extraordinary background.

Even Hong Wuji frowned, not expecting another young martial artist to dare bid beside him.

With a cold laugh, he shouted again: “Four billion twenty million!”

“Four billion thirty million!”

“Four billion fifty million!”

The two vied fiercely, neither yielding, the air thick with tension.

“Who is this guy, daring to compete with us?” The cold-visaged youth frowned.

As a Yan Family disciple, even the Wanxiang Auction would give him face, yet now someone dared to compete with them, this was a blatant provocation!

Hong Wuji was equally furious, as a disciple from Red Leaf Valley, arrogance and swagger were his usual styles.

Now, someone dared to compete with him; he couldn’t tolerate it.

So, he bid again.

Besides him, a middle-aged beauty and a mysterious old man were also bidding, trying to seize the opportunity.

For a moment, the atmosphere was tense, the auction hall filled with intense excitement!

“Five billion!”

Kuang Jian Venerable spoke again, causing everyone’s eyelids to twitch wildly.

“Five billion fifty million!” Hong Wuji didn’t back down, quickly quoting.

Silence, absolute silence. Many had given up bidding; this price had stopped most people.

Even the Yan Family disciples frowned, this price faced them with a dilemma.

“I want to see who dares be so arrogant!” The cold-visaged youth snorted, “In Wind-Seeking City, someone dares compete with us, they are courting death!”

“Alright, don’t bid anymore, wait and see.” At this moment, the beautiful woman spoke.

“Young man, this sword is very important to me. Could you let me have it, I can compensate you in another way!” Kuang Jian Venerable spoke solemnly.

“I lack nothing, just this sword!” Hong Wuji refused outright.

“Humph!”

In VIP room number three, Kuang Jian Venerable snorted coldly, his face darkening.

Murderous intent flickered in his eyes, twinkling like sword light.

He didn’t bid anymore, but a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Obviously, he was setting his murderous intention.

In the Blood Domain, it’s common to kill for treasure; although the other party hailed from Red Leaf Valley, for a Half Earth-grade Treasure, he planned to overlook everything and act.

Once he seized the Lonely Star Sword, his strength would greatly increase, and in the Blood Domain, Red Leaf Valley might not be able to do anything about him.

So, in an instant, he had murderous intent.

Kuang Jian Venerable didn’t speak anymore, and others likewise ceased bidding, perhaps harboring thoughts similar to Kuang Jian Venerable.

In any case, the whole scene was eerily silent.

Everyone was shocked too, not expecting even Kuang Jian Venerable couldn’t outbid Hong Wuji.

Hong Wuji was ecstatic, clenching his fist, his eyes filled with excitement.

Finally, after all this vying, he had won the Lonely Star Sword.

“Five billion fifty million, is there anyone else bidding?” the auctioneer asked.

Seeing no response, he slowly said, “Five billion fifty million, once.”

“Five billion fifty million, twice!”

“Five billion fifty million, thrice!”

“Sol…”

The words “sold” hadn’t been uttered, when suddenly the auction hall door opened with a bang.

Then, a powerful aura and blazing light swept in, plunging the entire auction hall into chaos.

Everyone turned to look.

“Ten billion!”

A firm and powerful voice sounded, followed by a figure swiftly walking in.
