Chapter 1026: Chapter 1023: Ten Million and Twenty Million!
Luo Feng caught sight of the Evil Saber, feeling surprised for just a moment before his mood brightened up.
At that moment, he finally understood why his Yuan Qi was inexplicably unsettled when watching the Evil Saber and the Wild tribe woman battle.
It seems the Evil Saber has cultivated the Summer Thunder Falling from the Sky Saber Technique, and the intent realm of this technique is present in his saber moves, which allowed Luo Feng’s Spring Breeze-as-Heart-Wills Saber Technique to breakthrough to the third level.
This also confirmed the Red Blood Elder’s words that the saber technique remnant on Evil Saber is exactly what he needs.
"Evil Saber..."
Lin Hongyi saw the Evil Saber sitting on the leather chair with a fierce aura, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Evil Saber was expelled from the Yuangang Hall for slaughtering fellow disciples, and because of this, he has always harbored resentment towards Yuangang Hall. Over the years, he has killed many Yuangang Hall disciples, and with his indiscriminate killing and bloodthirsty brutality, the name Evil Saber has been on Yuangang Hall’s wanted list.
Lin Hongyi did not expect to encounter Evil Saber here.
Swish!
Evil Saber noticed someone approaching, his fierce gaze swept over, causing the temperature in the nearby space to plummet, and he said coldly: "What do you want?"
"Ah!"
The beautiful maid was scared by Evil Saber’s gaze, stepping back a pace, her fair face turned paper-white, and a layer of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead.
Buzz!
Luo Feng waved his hand, warding off the terrifying killing intent directed at the beautiful maid and said to her, "You may leave first."
"Yes... thank you, sir."
The beautiful maid swallowed hard, gave Luo Feng a grateful look, and turned to leave. Had Luo Feng not acted in time, she would have likely been embarrassed.
Evil Saber saw Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi confront his murderous aura without changing countenance, and narrowed his eyes slightly, flicking a grape in his hand onto the jade plate, and said coldly: "Who are you?"
Luo Feng walked directly in and sat on the leather chair beside the sandalwood table, saying, "I am Luo Feng, a disciple of Linglong Hall, and this is Lin Hongyi from Yuangang Hall."
"Yuangang Hall disciple?"
Evil Saber raised an eyebrow, his sharp gaze fixed on Lin Hongyi, his hand brushing over the five-foot blood saber beside the leather chair, and laughed coolly: "Are you here to take my life? It’s not that I look down on you, but even if you two join forces, I can easily kill you. While I’m in a good mood, get lost!"
"You!"
Lin Hongyi’s eyes flared with anger, her delicate fist pounding the sandalwood table, causing the jade plate on it to rattle incessantly.
Luo Feng raised a hand to stop Lin Hongyi, addressing Evil Saber: "Evil Saber, you know that even a True Yuan Realm Martial Artist wouldn’t dare act recklessly here in Big Market City. We aren’t here for anything else. We just heard you have a remnant saber manual on you."
Evil Saber’s gaze flickered slightly, scrutinized Luo Feng deeply before finally speaking: "I know of you; a prominent figure in the Twelve Golden Palaces, and also the City Lord of Big Market City. I do have a remnant saber manual. What do you want?"
"I have always liked collecting various martial arts remnants and want to buy it for research. I hope you can sell the manual to me." Luo Feng put forth the excuse he had prepared.
"Oh?"
Evil Saber evaluated Luo Feng, seeming to see through him, saying indifferently: "We can discuss this. How much Yuan Stone do you intend to offer?"
Luo Feng smiled lightly: "That depends on the quality of the manual. If it satisfies me, the price certainly won’t disappoint you."
Evil Saber thought for a moment, "Alright, I’ll give you the time of one breath, don’t linger."
With that, Evil Saber swiped his fingers over the storage ring, taking out a worn manual and placed it before Luo Feng.
Luo Feng’s gaze swept over the manual.
Four Symbols Ultimate Saber second tier: Summer Thunder Falling from the Sky...
He had only glanced at half the first page when Evil Saber promptly retrieved the manual, staring intently at Luo Feng: "Your allotted time for one breath is over."
Luo Feng’s gaze lingered over the manual, feeling somewhat excited. There was no doubt this remnant is the saber technique he practices, and its name was Four Symbols Ultimate Saber.
Without betraying his sentiments, Luo Feng replied: "The saber technique is good, but it only contains one form. One million and fifty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones, and it’s yours if you sell."
Lin Hongyi lowered her voice in a tone audible to Evil Saber: "That’s expensive, this remnant is too frayed, and is the second form of a saber technique with little utility—its value can’t exceed one million second-grade Yuan Stones."
Evil Saber laughed coldly, suddenly putting the manual away, and said:
"There’s no need to act in front of me, I, Evil Saber, have walked more bridges than you have roads."
"Then name a price."
Luo Feng cut to the chase.
Evil Saber raised a finger, with a wicked grin: "Ten million second-grade Yuan Stones!"
"Ten million second-grade Yuan Stones!"
Lin Hongyi’s eyes widened, clenching her delicate fists, and snapped: "Evil Saber, even a complete Earth-grade high-quality manual is only worth one to two million second-grade Yuan Stones, yet you want ten million for a mere remnant. Your appetite is enormous!"
Luo Feng furrowed his brows. He anticipated Evil Saber’s exorbitant demand; the manual is crucial to him, so he’s willing to pay even double the price.
However, he hadn’t expected such sky-high asking—ten million second-grade Yuan Stones. Although he could muster that amount considering the wealth of Tianlin mansion, he doesn’t want to be taken for a fool, especially since paying that might not even guarantee Evil Saber’s sale.
Upon hearing Lin Hongyi’s words, Evil Saber’s eyes narrowed as he inquired: "How do you know my manual remnant is Earth-grade high-quality martial arts?"
Lin Hongyi realized her slip and retorted: "I was merely speaking casually."
Luo Feng interrupted the conversation between the two and addressed Evil Saber: "Evil Saber, the price of ten million second-grade Yuan Stones is too high. Even at auction, this manual remnant wouldn’t exceed three million second-grade Yuan Stones. How about this—I’ll give you five million second-grade Yuan Stones for the manual."
Evil Saber popped a purple jade grape into his mouth, spat the seeds onto the jade plate, and laughed sardonically: "Ten million second-grade Yuan Stones—it’s not for sale at any less."
Luo Feng’s expression darkened; he could tell Evil Saber was adamant about not selling the manual remnant.
Then, Evil Saber suddenly directed his gaze at Luo Feng and said: "If I’m not mistaken, you also possess a remnant of the Four Symbols Ultimate Saber on you?"
Luo Feng, discerning the situation, responded coolly: "As I’ve already stated, I want your manual remnant purely out of collecting interest."
"Haha, you’re too young to lie to me."
Evil Saber chuckled coldly, speaking: "This manual remnant I have is genuinely worth no more than two million second-grade Yuan Stones. If you were truly interested just for collecting, your offer wouldn’t exceed one million second-grade Yuan Stones, yet you initially set the price at one million and fifty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones. Furthermore, the fact that you know my manual remnant is Earth-grade high-quality martial arts indicates thorough inquiry. Your desire for this manual remnant only points to the fact that you possess other remnants too—there’s no other explanation."
At his words, Lin Hongyi and Luo Feng’s expressions visibly changed.
Standing up, Evil Saber clapped his hands and addressed Luo Feng: "Young brother, name your price and sell me the manual remnant you possess—then things will go smoothly in the future."
Luo Feng likewise stood up, looked at Evil Saber, and smiled faintly: "I’ll sell it to you, if you name your price."
Lin Hongyi was taken aback, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. Her impression was that, based on Luo Feng’s character, he wouldn’t agree to Evil Saber’s demand.
"Haha...very sensible, it’s said that knowing one’s place makes one wise. You seemingly understand your situation."
Evil Saber laughed heartily, continuing: "I won’t short-change you; I’ll offer you all fifty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones I have left."
"Fifty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones?"
Lin Hongyi’s brows knitted; Evil Saber was truly shameless—asking ten million, yet offering only fifty thousand himself.
With a sideways glance, Lin Hongyi was curious about Luo Feng’s reply.
Luo Feng brushed his hand over the storage ring and chuckled: "Fifty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones? You must be joking."
"What do you mean?" Evil Saber frowned.
Luo Feng raised two fingers: "Two million second-grade Yuan Stones—not a single piece less."
