Tyrant Sky Martial Soul
Chapter 931 Richer Than You

Chapter 931: Chapter 931 Richer Than You

Although there were many generals captured by the True Demon Empire, Qin Huo was the only one who refused to bow down and surrender and who possessed a powerful Martial Soul and combat power.

Furthermore, what many people coveted was not Qin Huo himself, but his Xingtian Martial Spirit, also known as the Ancient War God Martial Soul.

Even though transferring an Ancient Martial Soul with current methods bore great risks and potential failure.

But it did not rule out the possibility of wealthy individuals making such desperate moves for themselves or their descendants.

The price of a Martial Artist can be determined, but the value of an Ancient Martial Soul is even higher.

Even the demihumans of the Divine Phoenix Continent could have Martial Souls implanted.

When bloodline and Martial Soul fusion occurred, the resulting power became even more formidable.

In fact, Ling Xiao was a prime example; he possessed the bloodline of the Ancient Golden Dragon and the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

The combination not only greatly accelerated his cultivation speed but, more critically, gave him much higher combat power than other Martial Artists of the same cultivation level.

"Seven million five hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones!"

Another higher bid was made.

This made Ling Xiao somewhat nervous.

He took a deep breath, fortunate that he still had a large amount of Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills unused; if really short of Spirit Stones, he could simply use the Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills to settle the debt.

He was determined to acquire Qin Huo.

However, Ling Xiao naturally did not desire the Martial Soul, but purely wanted such a capable lieutenant.

He wanted to rebuild the human empire, and having a lieutenant was indispensable.

Including the Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills, he believed that none of the Martial Artists here could possibly be wealthier than him.

Including those sitting in the VIP area.

"Eight million!"

The bidding continued, and many people were bidding as if Low-grade Spirit Stones were not real Spirit Stones, wildly raising the price.

"One million!"

Suddenly, a voice captured everyone’s attention.

Raising the bid directly from eight million to ten million made many shake their heads in resignation, giving up the hope of continuing in the auction.

Ling Xiao did not need to look to know who it was.

It was that Yan Peng.

He had already bought a general slave, not as good as Qin Huo, but also in the Heavenly Human Realm Ninth Layer.

He still wasn’t satisfied?

Did belittling human Martial Artists excite him that much?

Some people below had run out of Spirit Stones and couldn’t keep up with Yan Peng’s bidding.

Others were simply afraid of Yan Peng and dared not compete with him.

For a moment, the auction house fell silent.

The host looked towards Yan Peng with a smile and said, "Young Master Yan indeed has a bold spirit; I’m afraid this Qin Huo will soon break through to the Cave Heaven Realm. Having him by your side means you’ve gained a very capable fighter."

"You are wrong!"

Yan Peng shook his head with a smile and said, "I merely enjoy degrading these humans."

Having said that, he cut off the head of the slave seated beneath him with a single stroke of his blade.

"Ah—!"

This scene elicited a hysterical roar from Qin Huo.

Obviously, Qin Huo was acquainted with that slave.

"What are you yelling for? I know he is your younger brother, but so what? If you don’t obey, you will end up just like him," said Yan Peng with a cold laugh, instructing his men to remove the dead slave’s body and chuckling, "Tired of this human slave, time to switch to a stronger one, hahaha."

"Bastard!"

Ling Xiao clenched his fists, feeling as if his heart was bleeding, although the person killed was not related to him.

But to kill someone’s brother in front of him, when there was no enmity between them, was a level of cruelty that truly was not something ordinary people could understand.

"Angry? Hehe, too bad it’s useless. If you have the money, just buy him, hahaha."

Yan Peng laughed and looked at Ling Xiao.

What he truly hoped for was that Ling Xiao would make a move. As long as Ling Xiao did, he would have a chance to act here.

"10,010,000!"

Ling Xiao tried to calm himself as much as possible.

He absolutely could not allow Qin Huo to be bought by that bastard Yan Peng; if that happened, Qin Huo would truly be ruined.

The great general of the Sacred Dynasty, General Fei, who possessed the War God Martial Soul, should not end like this!

Not at all!

What was money?

At worst, he would just refine some more pills!

"Kid, that’s over 10 million Low-grade Spirit Stones, do you have that much?"

Yan Peng was stunned for a moment, he really hadn’t expected Ling Xiao to dare to bid against him. Did this guy want to fight it out with him to the end?

Without another word, Ling Xiao took out a gourd containing one hundred Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills and said, "Here are one hundred Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills that I bought from the Heavenly Dragon Auction House for 20 million Low-grade Spirit Stones. Do you think I have that much money?"

"Damn it! It was you who snatched the Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills!"

Yan Peng gritted his teeth in frustration. He had not been at the auction, and he regretted it deeply when his family later mentioned it.

If he had been there, even if it meant spending more Low-grade Spirit Stones, he would have gotten his hands on the Heavenly Spirit Divine Pills.

"11 million Low-grade Spirit Stones!"

Yan Peng bid fiercely through clenched teeth.

"11,010,000!" said Ling Xiao casually, as if these Spirit Stones were nothing to him.

"12 million!" Yan Peng’s complexion turned increasingly gloomy, and his voice grew louder.

"Being loud is useless, 12,010,000!"

Ling Xiao continued to raise the bid.

Yan Peng did not bid. He stared at Ling Xiao for a while, then suddenly laughed with a heh-heh and said, "You’re ruthless, the slave is yours."

It wasn’t that he had given up, but he felt that continuing to bid would become somewhat unreasonable.

After all, once they left the auction house, it would be Ling Xiao’s time to die; why waste Spirit Stones then?

The things he wanted could not be taken away by others!

"Are you thinking of robbing this general from me after we leave the auction house?"

Ling Xiao coldly laughed as if he could see through Yan Peng’s thoughts, "I hope he doesn’t kill you, just remember what you just did—he really wants to kick your head off as if it’s a ball!"

"Hmph, you’re only fierce with words!"

Yan Peng snorted coldly, seemingly unafraid.

"Wrong, I’m also richer than you so-called nobles!"

Ling Xiao smiled slightly and looked at the host, "According to the 50% discount, I only need to give you 6,050,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, right?"

"Yes, that’s correct!"

"Damn, how could I forget that!"

Yan Peng slapped his forehead with a frustrated face, as he had been so focused on contesting with Ling Xiao that he had completely forgotten about the 50% discount.

Ling Xiao ignored his exasperated and displeased expression and sat down.

The transaction would only begin after the auction had ended, so he was not in a hurry.

"Next up for auction is the Xuanbing Mad Lion, let’s begin."

Logically speaking, the final transaction price for the Xuanbing Mad Lion should not be higher than that of Qin Huo. However, unlike human slaves, the Xuanbing Mad Lion was a great item to show off with.

Wealthy martial artists wouldn’t mind spending a bit more money to bid for such an item.

But since this guy Yan Peng knew that the Xuanbing Mad Lion was Ling Xiao’s property, he would likely cause trouble.
