55: Kill people, and destroy their hearts

"Fifteen hundred million!"

Shen Xi bid again, pushing the price to a new high.

At this price, even guests with golden invitation letters couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Their entire net worth was roughly this much.

But Shen Xi was actually using it to buy a Yuanqi Pearl?

Even if the Yuanqi Pearl was indeed good, it wasn't worth such an exorbitant price!

"Sixteen hundred million!"

Kong Wen raised the price again.

He was determined to make trouble for Shen Xi.

"Two billion!"

Even Shen Xi felt a pang of pain when he called out this price.

If he hadn't made a lot of money recently, he wouldn't have been willing to pay such a high price.

However, he was even clearer about one thing: only by being alive was money truly money; if he died, money was just paper.

Anything that could improve his strength and increase his ability to protect his life was crucial.

"Hahaha, fool, I only raised the price a little, and you had no choice but to buy it at an exorbitant price. What if I give this thing to you?"

Kong Wen suddenly burst into boisterous laughter, then continued, "Also, you probably don't know the drawbacks of the Yuanqi Pearl. Storing Origin Qi in a Yuanqi Pearl consumes a huge amount. If ten parts of Origin Qi are injected into a Yuanqi Pearl, it's already a miracle if one part remains."

"This also means that to fully restore your own Origin Qi, you would have to completely inject all your Origin Qi into the Yuanqi Pearl at least ten times."

"The time just to restore Origin Qi would take over a month. Of course, you could also use various Medicinal Pills to speed up the recovery, but the value of the Medicinal Pills consumed to restore Origin Qi ten times would be several times cheaper than the Yuanqi Pearl."

"One could say you completely bought a useless item. If the price were cheaper, it would be fine, but you spent two billion."

The more Kong Wen spoke, the more pleased he became.

If Shen Xi had bought the Yuanqi Pearl for less than one billion, it would have been worth it.

After all, the Yuanqi Pearl was still a weapon and could severely injure enemies at critical moments.

But Shen Xi spent two billion.

At this price, compared to the Yuanqi Pearl, the cost-effectiveness was not that high.

With so much money, he could completely buy an Innate weapon.

This gave Kong Wen a sense of pleasure that his scheme had succeeded.

Being able to make Shen Xi spend so much money on a useless item gave him a great sense of accomplishment.

But the next second, Kong Wen couldn't laugh anymore.

"I have to thank your two retainers for their help. If they hadn't given me several billion, I really wouldn't have been able to afford the Yuanqi Pearl."

A lighthearted sentence made Kong Wen break down.

He was originally proud of making Shen Xi spend more money, but now he realized that this money was earned by the other party from Purple Robe and the other person.

What was this called?

Using his own money to do Shen Xi's own business, so he was the sucker?

After all, Purple Robe and his money were also obtained from Kong Wen.

"Why aren't you laughing? Do you not like to laugh? I still have to thank you for sending me money! It's just a pity that those two guys were killed by me, otherwise, I would definitely express my gratitude in person."

Shen Xi's words struck at Kong Wen's heart.

Kong Wen's face instantly darkened.

He even wanted to kill Shen Xi.

Calm down!

In three days, he could kill this fool who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!

Kong Wen secretly thought, suppressing his anger.

He had a reason for setting the life-and-death battle for three days later.

Recently, he vaguely felt that he was only one step away from a Breakthrough.

In three days, his strength would definitely advance further, and by then, even if Shen Xi and Chen Fang joined forces, he would not fear them.

"Hmph, someone who only knows how to be glib."

Kong Wen simply stopped talking; continuing would only bring him more humiliation.

This also made him dissatisfied with Purple Robe and the other person who had already died.

If it weren't for those two good-for-nothings, why would he be openly mocked by Shen Xi?

A small disturbance passed just like that.

Kong Wen was clearly also worried that Shen Xi would bring up the matter of Purple Robe and the other person again, so he no longer deliberately inflated prices.

This allowed Shen Xi to successfully bid on several more satisfactory items.

A Medicinal Pill for healing, which could be used with the Yuanqi Pearl for restoring Origin Qi as a means of self-preservation.

A Snake Gallbladder Fruit, which, when crushed and its juice dripped into the eyes, could enhance vision, perfectly complementing the Purple Flame Eyes.

"The eighty-third item up for auction is the Mad Blade Five Demons Slash, an Acquired Martial Arts, but it is considered a Peak masterpiece among them. If Cultivated to the Perfection Realm, its power can rival Innate Martial Arts. The starting bid is also one hundred million."

The host said, holding a Martial Arts Secret Manual.

Upon hearing this, Kong Wen's eyes instantly lit up.

And Kong Wen's expression was fully observed by Shen Xi.

It seemed that the other party was here for this Secret Manual.

After Cultivating to Perfection, its power rivaled Innate Martial Arts, no wonder Kong Wen was tempted.

After all, the number of Innate Martial Arts was pitifully small even in the Inner City, and their value was in the billions, yet they were still priceless.

Although the Mad Blade Five Demons Slash was only an Acquired Martial Arts, the fact that its power could rival Innate Martial Arts after reaching Perfection was enough to make people's hearts pound.

"Five hundred million!"

Kong Wen's bid was five hundred million.

This made many people who wanted to bid instinctively shrink back, not daring to speak.

On one hand, the price was naturally high. The Mad Blade Five Demons Slash was, after all, only an Acquired Martial Arts, and no one was sure how long it would take to Cultivate it to the Perfection Realm.

On the other hand, they also didn't want to offend Kong Wen. Even though Shen Xi provoked him repeatedly, he was still the Captain of the Judgement Squad, and ordinary Two People wouldn't dare to provoke him.

"One billion!"

Shen Xi picked his ear and spoke casually.

Didn't Kong Wen maliciously inflate the price before?

Then he would return the favor in kind.

"You!"

Kong Wen was furious.

"I still have to thank Purple Robe and the others, otherwise, how would I dare to bid!"

Shen Xi, adhering to the principle of infuriating people without paying for it, once again mentioned Purple Robe and the other person.

Kong Wen immediately lost the mood to argue. If he continued to argue about this matter, he would only lose more face.

"Fifteen hundred million!"

"Two billion!"

"Two billion five hundred million!"

Kong Wen gritted his teeth and shouted.

This was already his limit.

Originally, Purple Robe and the other person participated in the auction to help him bid for this Secret Manual.

The five hundred million they had was also his.

According to Kong Wen's plan, the Mad Blade Five Demons Slash could be acquired for five hundred million.

But who would have thought that Shen Xi would appear? Not only did the other party take Purple Robe's five hundred million, but he also raised the price to an exorbitant amount.

This forced Kong Wen to bite the bullet and bid.

"It seems this is all your worldly possessions, so I won't raise the price anymore."

Shen Xi picked his ear and said casually.

Kong Wen's face instantly became as ugly as if he had eaten a dead rat.

He knew that Shen Xi was deliberately raising the price, but for the other party to say it like that still made Kong Wen's teeth itch with hatred.

To kill, and to strike at the heart!
