Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Snatching the Sword_1
Looking at Wang Haoyu’s flushed face with red ears, Zhang Yuying laughed so hard she doubled over.
Wang Haoyu had often bragged in front of her.
Being able to tease him like this today felt incredibly satisfying.
Ye Fei spoke up at the right moment, "It’s fine to have a little fun, but if he gives up on bidding, the loss is ours."
Zhang Yuying understood this reasoning and refrained from bidding further.
In the end, the pill fell into Wang Haoyu’s hands.
The rounded pill, glowing red all over, emitted a hazy aura.
Wang Haoyu was captivated as soon as he got it.
Over four hundred million, just to get a little closer to that invincible elder brother.
Although it cost a fortune.
But it was worth it!
Wang Haoyu’s eyes turned red, veined with bloodshot threads.
"Wait until I advance to the ten steps of the Innate stage, and then see who looks down on me!"
A few elders standing behind Wang Haoyu exchanged glances and silently nodded to each other.
Compared to Wang Haoyu’s elder brother, it was Wang Haoyu’s ambition that they needed.
In just a short while, the elders had already decided whose side they would stand on.
By now, the atmosphere in the auction had been whipped up.
The auctioneer’s face was flushed, clearly growing excited.
"The next item, also the final treasure of this auction!"
A magical artifact!
An actual magical artifact!
The world had seen few remaining magical artifacts.
Nobody had expected that after witnessing such a miraculous pill today, they would also see a magical artifact.
The staff approached the stage leisurely, revealing a translucent item.
A ring.
Simplistic in design, without any flamboyant decoration.
Although clearly made of metal, from a distance, it appeared more like it was made of wood.
Ye Fei’s Starry Eyes shifted, and he immediately furrowed his brow.
A storage ring!
He hadn’t expected to encounter such a rare item!
The auctioneer announced loudly, "The next item is a storage ring!"
Boom!
The crowd was in an uproar.
A storage ring!
The method to create such a thing had long been lost.
Among many magical artifacts, storage artifacts were first-rate in rarity.
In just an instant, everyone’s eyes turned red.
There was only one thought in everyone’s mind.
They had to have it!
"Hurry up, how much to start the bidding!" someone couldn’t wait any longer.
The auctioneer chuckled and said, "Everyone knows that a storage class magical artifact might appear only once in a hundred years."
"And this ring’s storage space reaches two cubic meters, extremely rare!"
"Therefore, we shall start the bidding for this storage ring at one billion!"
Before he even finished.
Many people had already sat back down, looking dejected.
One billion.
It wasn’t a small amount.
To buy a storage ring, many had to weigh their options carefully.
But there was no shortage of wealthy individuals present.
"Twenty billion!"
One person shouted out, doubling the bid by ten billion.
Everyone was shocked.
With that price, one could buy a small company.
To buy a storage ring.
Still, it was too great a loss.
Just a moment later, the person had no competitors.
Wang Haoyu quietly watched.
In fact, he had intended to acquire the ring.
It’s just that he couldn’t afford it.
Inside a private box.
Ye Fei sat steady as a mountain.
With his current financial situation, there was no way he could afford that item.
It was better just to watch quietly.
The one who offered twenty billion faced no difficulties and directly obtained the storage ring.
Such an item was truly a once-in-a-century encounter.
The person held the ring tightly in hand, overwhelmed with excitement.
It was also a symbol of status.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today’s auction concludes here," said the auctioneer.
"Please leave the venue in an orderly fashion."
Ye Fei carried the Longsword and left the venue with Zhang Yuying.
Today’s acquisition of a Spirit-grade sword was already an immense stroke of luck.
Zhang Yuying was extremely pleased with herself for having teased Wang Haoyu.
"Why are you still wearing the mask?"
Seeing that Ye Fei still had his mask on, Zhang Yuying asked in confusion.
Ye Fei smiled without saying a word and saw her off into the car.
After Zhang Yuying left, Ye Fei took to the streets, walking the alleys alone.
He did not remove his mask.
Longsword tightly in hand, Ye Fei remained vigilant of his surroundings.
An innocent man holds guilt when he carries a treasure.
During the auction, surely he was not the only one who had seen the uniqueness of this sword.
As expected.
As Ye Fei turned into a narrow alley.
A group blocked his way.
A middle-aged man with a portly belly led the group.
Similarly, they, too, wore masks.
They had also just come from the auction.
And Ye Fei recognized this middle-aged man.
He was the one who had bid on the storage ring.
The middle-aged man let out a cold chuckle, instantly changing the atmosphere.
"Brother, in such a hurry, where are you off to?" he asked.
Ye Fei stopped in his tracks, coldly observing the group.
The middle-aged man’s gaze fell upon the Evil-Slaying Sword.
"Brother, since we’ve met, how about you lend me your sword to check it out?" he said with clear intent.
He meant to take the sword.
Ye Fei gripped the hilt of the sword tighter, a surge of qi stirring within, causing the Evil-Slaying Sword to tremble visibly.
Ye Fei retorted with a smile, "If you want to see my sword, you’ll have to take it with your own strength!"
The middle-aged man suddenly grinned, gesturing broadly with his hand.
His subordinates immediately stepped forward, surrounding Ye Fei.
The middle-aged man proposed with a smile, "Brother, five million for your trouble. You keep the cash, I’ll take the sword."
"How about that?"
Five million.
To buy the Evil-Slaying Sword.
It was a fool’s dream.
Besides, even if Ye Fei handed over the sword, it was unlikely this group would pay up.
The confrontation was inevitable.
His qi burst outward in all directions.
Ye Fei said nothing, letting his actions speak for him.
The man sneered and retreated a few steps.
"All of you, attack!"
