134: Chapter 134 So what if he's a good fighter?
The aura of the Abyss!
And, it's not just one!
These auras were hidden extremely deep, as if they had merged into the formation patterns of the Dark Web Underground City.
Ordinary martial artists, even if a Martial Emperor powerhouse were to come in person, would absolutely not be able to detect a single trace.
But Su Yu's cultivation had already reached the Martial Emperor level, and having personally beheaded a demon saint, he was all too familiar with the aura of the Abyss's origin.
"There is an ambush."
It must be aimed at him.
Yesterday, his Martial Spirit cultivation, combined with the demon saint-level demon core, made it very easy to link back to the identity of Su Yuan.
The Abyss has come for revenge?
Should he retreat?
Su Yu shook his head.
The reason was simple.
First, his normal combat power was already comparable to a Martial Emperor, and in his storage ring lay the Nation-Guardian Rank battle armor just gifted by Master Zong Yan.
Plus the five-fold terrifying amplification of the Great Wilderness Star-Fall Dharma Aspect at Great Perfection.
Never mind a few Abyss rats hiding in the dark.
Even if the Abyss Demon Emperor's true body were to arrive, he would dare to face it head-on!
Second, and most importantly.
He really needed money.
The one trillion years of deductions in the system had already given him a taste of the benefits.
To perform the fourth blood-qi compression and to push his Spear Intent to the "Qi Resonance" realm.
Without massive amounts of funds, everything was just empty talk.
This demon saint-level demon core must be sold today!
Whoever stands in his way of making money must die.
If this Dark Net Auction House was truly colluding with the Abyss...
Then that was perfect.
He could take the opportunity to wipe out the entire auction house in one go.
Su Yu's expression remained normal as he strode into the gates of the Dark Net Auction House.
...
Heaven-class Box No. 1.
Ji Wuyue, in a red dress, had been waiting at the door early on.
Seeing Su Yu appear, her fair and enchanting face was immediately filled with an exceptionally respectful smile.
"Mr. Su, you have finally arrived."
Ji Wuyue bowed slightly, revealing a breathtaking glimpse of snow-white skin at her neckline.
"The auction is about to begin."
"We have arranged your exclusive segment for the finale."
Su Yu glanced at her indifferently.
His powerful spiritual force instantly saw through Ji Wuyue.
This woman's heart rate was 15% faster than yesterday, and her blood flow was faintly chaotic.
She was nervous.
Or rather, she was excited.
Su Yu did not expose her, just nodded slightly.
"Lead the way."
Walking into the box.
Su Yu sat down on a large leather sofa.
Through the one-way transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, he could clearly see the incomparably huge auction hall below.
Today's auction house was more than ten times busier than yesterday!
The hall was packed to capacity.
From the surrounding floating VIP boxes, one could faintly sense waves of heart-palpitating blood-qi.
Martial Kings, Martial Emperors.
Even, Su Yu detected two obscure Martial Venerable auras!
Countless top tycoons of the Great Xia Kingdom, aristocratic clans, and even bigwigs from the military had all gathered here.
The goal was only one.
demon saint-level demon core!
"Mr. Su, this is today's auction catalog. Please take a look."
Ji Wuyue respectfully handed over a gold-stamped catalog, then quietly exited the box.
Su Yu flipped through the catalog casually, his gaze falling on the auction stage below.
The auction began normally.
One after another, rare top-grade materials, Heaven-tier techniques, and high-level battle armor were brought onto the display stand like flowing water.
"Deep Sea Mother Crystal, starting bid, ten billion!"
"Heaven-tier low-grade movement technique 'Drifting Dragon Steps', starting bid, thirty billion!"
"Army-Breaking Level peak war hammer, starting bid, fifty billion!"
The auctioneer shouted hoarsely.
The bidding in the hall rose and fell, and the atmosphere was exceptionally heated.
Those big shots who were usually high and mighty were now red in the face as they fought for resources.
But.
The real big shots were all waiting.
Waiting for that supreme treasure capable of changing the fate of their families.
Time passed minute by minute.
When the auction reached the second half.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became eerily quiet.
Everyone's breathing became exceptionally heavy.
Their eyes were fixed tightly on the center of the auction stage.
The auctioneer wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling violently from extreme excitement.
"Everyone!"
"Next is the highest-spec, most valuable auction item in the history of our Dark Web!"
"A... complete!"
"demon saint-level demon core!!!"
Boom!
The whole venue was in an uproar!
As the auctioneer pulled off the red cloth on the display stand.
A crystal, the size of a fist, pitch-black all over, and radiating a heart-palpitating fluctuation of the Abyss's origin, appeared in everyone's line of sight.
That energy, pure to the extreme, instantly turned the eyes of all the high-level martial artists present who were stuck at a bottleneck red!
Extending life! Breaking through!
This was a priceless treasure!
"Starting bid, one hundred billion!"
"Each increment must be no less than ten billion!"
Just as the auctioneer's voice fell.
A majestic voice came directly from a box on the second floor.
"Five hundred billion!"
As soon as it opened, it directly multiplied fivefold!
The whole venue gasped.
However, this was just the beginning.
"Six hundred billion!"
"Seven hundred billion!"
"Eight hundred billion!!!"
The price soared astonishingly, like a rocket.
Those top aristocratic clans had fallen into complete madness for this demon core, willing to sell everything they had to secure it.
Su Yu sat in Heaven-class Box No. 1.
Watching the numbers constantly jumping on the screen.
In his deep eyes, a fiery light flickered.
It's already eight hundred billion.
Looking at this momentum, breaking through one trillion would definitely not be a problem.
As long as this money was in hand, he could immediately perform the fourth blood-qi compression!
...
Meanwhile.
In the deepest part of the Dark Net Auction House, in that underground secret room engraved with dark red formation patterns.
Ji Wuyue knelt on one knee before a bone altar.
Behind her stood three cold figures shrouded in wide red robes.
The Abyss Cult, three great Cardinals!
Each one exuded the terrifying aura of a peak Martial Venerable!
From the churning black mist above the altar, a hoarse voice filled with endless pressure emerged.
"The time has come."
"In thirty minutes, the Demon Emperor will personally descend upon the human border!"
"Those two old immortal Martial Emperors of the Great Xia Kingdom will be tightly restrained by the Demon Emperor's aura and will absolutely be unable to spare any attention for Jingdu!"
The black mist churned violently, revealing a hair-raising cruelty.
"Ji Wuyue!"
"Your subordinate is here!" Ji Wuyue lowered her head deeply.
"Once the auction ends, when handing over the cash."
"You, personally take the storage ring filled with cash and enter Heaven-class Box No. 1."
"At the moment of the handover, use the distance advantage to launch a suicide squad attack!"
The voice in the black mist was incomparably cold.
"Remember! The target of this surprise attack is not to kill him!"
"Since that Su Yuan can counter-kill a demon saint, he must have trump cards. A forced kill carries too much risk."
"You only need to seriously injure him! Even if it only hinders his blood-qi circulation for a split second!"
"At the same time!"
The black mist turned to the three Cardinals.
"Activate the 'Nine Nether Sky-Locking Death Formation'!"
"Sacrifice the blood-qi of these tens of thousands of human martial artists within the Dark Web Underground City to serve as the guiding coordinates!"
"Summon the three demon saints to descend in their true forms!"
The three Cardinals stepped forward in unison, their voices hoarse and fanatical.
"We obey your decree!"
The voice in the black mist suddenly rose, as if it had already seen the tragic state of humanity's destruction.
"As long as the three demon saints descend."
"Within this Dark Web locked by the formation, that Su Yuan will have no way to escape!"
"Wipe him out, along with all the human powerhouses here!"
"Afterward."
"The three demon saints will directly slaughter their way to Capital Martial Arts University!"
"Completely obliterate that monstrous new student named Su Yu!"
"Sever the fortune of humanity's generation!"
"Finally, before the military reacts, everyone will retreat!"
"Complete this kill operation!"
Fanatical laughter echoed in the cold, gloomy secret room.
Ji Wuyue stood up.
Her enchanting face was filled with morbid excitement.
She turned her head, her gaze seemingly piercing through the thick rock layers, looking toward the direction of Heaven-class Box No. 1.
Su Yuan.
So what if you can fight?
In the face of the Abyss's absolute power and precise planning, you are destined to become nothing but a withered bone on the altar!
