Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 880 - 878: Slap to Death

"This object is mine now!"

Xiao Yi's tone was very calm, as if the item before him was of no particular importance to him, yet everyone could hear the determination in his voice that he was bound to win it.

With these words,

both Monk Xue and Luo Feng's expressions changed.

Monk Xue looked at Luo Feng with schadenfreude. Because Luo Feng had bid a high price of five hundred billion Silver, he had no choice but to withdraw from the competition.

Luo Feng had thought the metal piece was as good as in his pocket when Xiao Yi suddenly stepped in, which was akin to a vicious slap in Luo Feng's face.

An enemy's embarrassment was cause for happiness.

Monk Xue laughed heartily as he looked at Xiao Yi, brought his palms together in a prayer gesture, and said with a face full of compassion, "Amitabha, Benefactor, your action is truly virtuous!"

Luo Feng looked at Xiao Yi with a sullen face. Though he was extremely annoyed by Xiao Yi's interruption, he also knew that Xiao Yi was not someone to be trifled with. With a cold expression, he said, "Director Xiao, I don't believe I have offended you, have I?"

Xiao Yi glanced at him and said, "We have never met before, how could there be any offense?"

"Since I have not offended you, why must you side with this bald donkey to embarrass me?" Luo Feng's face grew even darker.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly and replied, "What's the matter? Is it forbidden for others to make bids at this auction held by the royal family of the Nantian Dynasty? I also have a must-win determination for this item, so I joined the bidding. This is fair competition. Why do you feel that I am targeting you? Moreover… not that I, Xiao Yi, am being arrogant, but what makes you, Luo Feng, worth my targeting?"

"You…"

Luo Feng's face instantly turned an amalgamation of blue and red.

He had never expected Xiao Yi to be so dismissive, causing a sinister gleam to flash in his eyes. He turned to Nantian Wen and said, "Your Majesty…"

Before he could say more,

Nantian Wen spoke indifferently, "Xiao Yi is right, an auction is naturally about fair competition. The highest bidder wins."

That single sentence blocked all of Luo Feng's retorts.

You want this item?

Then bid a higher price!

Luo Feng's face alternated between pale and flushed, looking extremely ugly. He could afford a price higher than one trillion Silver, and the Luo Family was determined to have this metal piece.

Only…

As soon as Xiao Yi started off with one trillion Silver, it was clear that his wealth was far more than that.

With that thought,

Luo Feng glared viciously at Xiao Yi and said ominously, "Since Director Xiao is so determined to have this item, I will painfully relinquish my claim. However, since the item is related to the Hall of Longevity, as the saying goes, 'An innocent man is guilty if he carries a precious jade.' I hope Director Xiao will cherish it!"

Without waiting for his words to finish,

Luo Feng stood up, ready to leave.

But the moment he stood up, an invisible oppressive force descended upon him, as if a towering mountain had suddenly crushed down on him.

With two muffled bangs,

Luo Feng's knees shattered at the same time, and with a thud, he fell to his knees, cracking the ground beneath him.

Hiss!

All around, there was the sound of people sharply inhaling, as everyone looked at Xiao Yi with shock and astonishment: "He, how dare he make a move in front of His Majesty?"

"Just with the pressure of his aura, he made Luo Feng kneel, unable to move. How strong must Xiao Yi be?"

Among the crowd,

Monk Xue's eyes twitched violently, and the murderous bloodthirst in the depths of his eyes quietly receded.

He had planned to ambush Xiao Yi on his way back, to attack and seize that mysterious metal piece.

But now…

Seeing how Xiao Yi had so effortlessly subdued Luo Feng, whose cultivation was on par with his own, Monk Xue had to abandon his earlier idea. His gaze shifted slightly, and he began to secretly concoct another plot.

Luo Feng also regained his senses, his face ashen, and with a ferocious look directed toward the not-too-distant Xiao Yi, he hissed through clenched teeth: "Xiao Yi, you've gone too far! Do you really think this is the Daqian Dynasty, where you can do whatever you want?"

Xiao Yi regarded him with a serene gaze.

That tranquil look, as if he were viewing a dead man, a carcass.

In his eyes that flickered with a ghostly cold light, devoid of a shred of emotion, only icy mockery remained as he said indifferently, "Your Majesty, may I borrow your place to kill someone? No problem, right?"

Luo Feng laughed heartily, "Xiao Yi, do you really think yourself on equal footing with His Majesty? Asking to borrow his place to kill someone—do you realize that even the elders of the Nantian sacred sites wouldn't dare to speak to His Majesty in such a manner…"

The gazes of everyone around Xiao Yi carried a hint of ridicule.

Clearly, they too thought Xiao Yi was too full of himself.

Asking Nantian Wen for a place to kill someone.

What a foolish thought, wasn't it?

However…

When Nantian Wen spoke, the smiles on their faces could no longer be maintained, turning into stunned disbelief and open-mouthed shock.

One could only hear Nantian Wen say carelessly, "Go ahead!"

With these words,

the strong characters sitting around were petrified, frozen and dumbfounded on the spot.

Luo Feng was particularly astonished, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at Nantian Wen, "Your Majesty, you must be joking, right? I am, after all, an Earth Venerate Realm powerhouse of the Nantian Dynasty. How could you possibly... "

"Enough noise!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand impatiently.

A force innate to the beginning spat out from the palm of his hand, and in the void, it condensed into a cold, blue giant hand that covered the skies and seemed to command creation itself, furiously smashing down from above.

"No..."

Luo Feng only felt the world turn dark.

Immediately following...

Boom!

The giant hand mercilessly crashed down.

A blue light surged, and when it receded, nothing remained but a pile of mangled flesh and blood on the ground.

The Earth Venerate Realm powerhouse Luo Feng had died under Xiao Yi's single palm strike.

The surrounding powerhouses were as quiet as cicadas in winter, afraid of offending Xiao Yi and thus bringing down a catastrophe upon themselves.

Monk Xue's heart skipped a beat, and he silently breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Luo Feng, this brute, rushed ahead. Otherwise, if I rashly made a move against Xiao Yi, I would likely be the one lying on the ground now. It seems to take down Xiao Yi, I can only ask for the old abbot's intervention!"

The hall was silent.

Clearly, no one had expected Xiao Yi to truly dare to execute Luo Feng in front of Nantian Wen.

Let alone imagine...

Nantian Wen was completely indifferent to Xiao Yi's thunderous attack and the bombing of a Nantian Dynasty's Earth Venerate powerhouse.

Before this.

Although the three major forces had signed a covenant and stood as a tripod, there were still many who had reservations about Xiao Yi becoming the third giant.

Until now.

They finally understood that Xiao Yi had already gained the recognition of Nantian Wen and others.

Otherwise, how could Nantian Wen have allowed Xiao Yi to kill in front of him?

The gazes of the people looking at Xiao Yi were filled with a few more shades of reverence.

Xiao Yi slowly withdrew his gaze and smiled at Nantian Wen, "I made Your Majesty's place dirty, so in addition to the trillion silver for this treasure, I'll gift Your Majesty a few trinkets!"

As he said this,

Xiao Yi flicked his finger, and a storage ring fell into Nantian Wen's hand.

Nantian Wen was taken aback, then smiled, "Why so formal? If it's an auction, just pay what you offered to me, there's no need for any extra gifts…"

Xiao Yi's smile held another meaning, "Are you sure you don't want it?"

"That's right, I—"

As Nantian Wen was speaking, his expression suddenly stiffened, and he looked at Xiao Yi incredulously, "You, you're really gifting these items to me?"

Aside from the trillion silver, there were also three fingernail-sized raw stones.

Gulp!

Nantian Wen swallowed hard.

The value of these three raw stones already exceeded a trillion!

Xiao Yi chuckled, "Didn't you want to return them to me?"

"What? I said that? You must have heard wrong…" Nantian Wen immediately pocketed the Storage Ring, adamant about not parting with it.

This left the surrounding powerhouses exchanging glances, wondering what treasures they were that even Nantian Wen cherished them so much?

Unfortunately…

They were destined never to find out.

"Xiao, this treasure is now yours," Dugu Li handed the metal fragment to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi's expression was unreadable as he took it and casually placed it into his storage ring.

His heart, however, was filled with immense excitement.

He had only caught a fleeting glimpse, but what was marked on it was unmistakably the information about the coordinates of the Hall of Longevity.

This transaction had been a massive gain for him!

Xiao Yi, keen to examine the metal fragment, declined Nantian Wen's invitation to stay and said with a smile, "There will be other days, Your Majesty; there's no need to keep me."

"So be it, when I have some free time, I'll come looking for you," Nantian Wen said with a hint of regret.

Xiao Yi nodded and, calling Little Lin, headed toward the palace gates.

They left the imperial capital behind them.

Flying high in the sky, crossing mountains and rivers.

After traveling several hundred miles, Xiao Yi and Little Lin both stopped, slowly turned around, their faces bearing a cold expression, and said indifferently, "You've followed me all this way, don't you think it's time to show yourself?"
