"This is going to be interesting."
Many people in the hall had been watching Lu Tao and Xue Luo Shangren's movements. When they saw the two leave one after the other, they immediately showed excited expressions and got up to leave the auction hall.
Anyway, the last two items are not something they can compete for.
Which of these two items is more appealing: watching the spectacle or the auction itself?
The other people in the hall also realized what was happening and got up to leave.
Even some of the martial artists in the private rooms hurriedly left, wanting to see what would happen between Lu Tao and Xue Luo Shangren.
"Young friend, please wait a moment."
As soon as Lu Tao left the auction house, Master Xue Luo caught up with him and blocked his way.
Lu Tao calmly looked at Xue Luo Shangren and asked indifferently, "Is there something you need?"
"Indeed, I'd like to discuss something with you, young friend."
Master Xueluo licked his lips, staring at Lu Tao with great interest and a hint of bloodlust in his eyes, and asked, "May I ask which sect or school you belong to, young friend?"
They are quite cautious, though.
Lu Tao smiled and said, "A rogue cultivator."
Upon hearing this, Master Xueluo was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that Lu Tao, a mere rogue cultivator at the early stage of the Organ Refinement Realm, would dare to spend so much money at the auction house—a sum that many families couldn't afford.
Aren't you afraid of being robbed if you flaunt your wealth like this?
For a moment, Master Xueluo was unsure of Lu Tao's background and hesitated, unsure whether to take action.
He's not stupid, so naturally he wouldn't provoke those forces or figures he can't afford to offend.
"It's truly amazing that Lu Tao could rise to this level in such a short time from being a rogue cultivator in Dafeng Town."
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly gleaned a very useful piece of information from the hushed conversations in the crowd.
Immediately, Master Xueluo's eyes lit up.
As a native of Mufeng City, he naturally knew about Dafeng Town. Since Lu Tao was really just a rogue cultivator, and only at the early stage of organ refinement, Blood Luo Shangren naturally had no worries.
He grinned, not even bothering to say a word, and pounced on Lu Tao.
A crimson longsword, as if soaked in blood, slashed straight toward Lu Tao's neck.
"That's really inconsiderate."
Lu Tao scoffed and took out his own weapon, a longsword that looked ordinary on the surface but was actually a low-grade sixth-rank weapon. He channeled his bone energy into it and slashed at Xue Luo Shangren.
Click...
The two swords clashed, and the crimson longsword was cut in two with a single blow. In the almost terrified eyes of the Blood Luo Venerable, Lu Tao's longsword continued to slash towards his chest.
"not good!"
The Blood Luo Master was horrified. He instantly took out a shield that was more than a meter tall, infused it with the power of the five elements of earth, and held it in front of his chest.
In an instant, a grayish-brown shield appeared from the shield, firmly protecting Blood Luo.
With a soft "poof".
The longsword struck the shield, which shattered in less than half a breath. The sword continued its momentum and struck the shield again.
However, the power of this strike had been largely neutralized, and it failed to shatter the shield in one blow.
With a thud.
The blade struck the shield, and a tremendous force sent Xue Luo Shangren staggering back three steps.
"How could it be so strong?"
Master Xueluo was shocked. He knew he had kicked a hornet's nest this time. He had no time to think deeply. He had only one thought: "Escape, escape as far away as possible."
Master Xueluo decisively used his movement technique to escape.
With just one move, his seventh-grade mid-level weapon was broken by Lu Tao. Without his weapon, his combat power dropped by more than half, and he was no match for Lu Tao's attack.
Of course, he didn't think he would die.
His speed was renowned in Mufeng City; a high-grade Xuan-level movement technique at the Great Completion stage was something that ordinary people could not keep up with.
At least in the realm of organ refinement, very few people can catch up with him.
Unless someone can fly.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he suddenly heard gasps of surprise from the crowd behind him.
"Wow, what kind of supernatural power is this? It actually grew a pair of wings."
"Holy crap, you can fly even at the Internal Organ Refinement Realm? What kind of cultivation technique is this?"
"I'm so damn envious, I want one too."
...
Blood Luo Shangren's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly had a bad premonition. He subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, and what he saw was...
A pair of crimson wings suddenly unfurled behind Lu Tao, the feathers so lifelike they seemed real. Then, the wings flapped, and Lu Tao took flight from the street.
It seemed to be the first time he had used it, and he was a little unaccustomed to it. When he flew into the air, his body tilted a few times before he finally regained his balance.
"how so?"
Everyone on Blood Luo was dumbfounded by what they saw.
Just as he thought that only someone who could fly could catch up with him, Lu Tao suddenly grew a pair of wings and took flight. Wish requests don't always work this well.
Just as Xue Luo Shangren was in a daze, Lu Tao's icy gaze fell upon him.
Master Xueluo shuddered and his hair stood on end.
The next moment, it continued its frantic escape.
Lu Tao naturally followed closely behind.
"What the hell? Is this even human? The technique that was just auctioned off is being used right away."
"This is fucking outrageous! What kind of talent is this? Jealousy makes life meaningless. I want to die."
“We are from a completely different world from him.”
At the entrance of the auction house, a large group of martial artists who were also participating in the auction watched Lu Tao's departing figure and couldn't help but let out a wail.
This scene was a huge blow to them.
For those who have mastered a high-grade Xuan-level cultivation technique, it often takes several months, several years, or even ten or twenty years to grasp the basics.
Lu Tao, on the other hand, accomplished it in just one hour, and he wasn't even at the beginner level; he must have at least reached the advanced, or even perfect, level.
The gap is just too big.
However, while it was a huge blow, it also dispelled much of the jealousy in my heart.
...
"Damn, what kind of monster is he? He just bought the Flying Divine Feather at auction, how did he learn to use it so quickly?"
The fleeing Blood Luo Master was almost dumbfounded. What kind of monster had he provoked?
A high-grade Xuan-level cultivation technique, fully comprehended in just one hour?
What kind of extraordinary comprehension would it take to do that? He had never even heard of such a person.
Had he known Lu Tao was this kind of person, he would never have dared to provoke him, even if it meant death. Xue Luo Shangren was filled with regret.
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets.
The Blood Luo Master frantically fled through Mufeng City, while Lu Tao followed closely behind him, like a cat playing with a mouse, not in a hurry to kill him, just toying with him.
This made him feel extremely aggrieved; he, Xue Luo Shangren, had never been so insulted.
Master Xueluo almost couldn't resist turning around and fighting Lu Tao to the death.
However, the thought of Lu Tao's sixth-tier weapon instantly dampened his enthusiasm, and he could only continue his frustrating escape.
"I hope this scene can be reported to Red Flower Valley."
Lu Tao naturally had his reasons for doing this.
Firstly, he hoped that Red Flower Valley would be wary of his potential and strength, and thus release Zhang Quan and the others; otherwise, he would have to make another trip to Red Flower Valley.
Secondly, he wanted to experience the feeling of flying. This was his first time flying, which Lu Tao thoroughly enjoyed and even found very exciting.
This feeling of freedom, flying through the air without restraint, is unprecedented and captivating.
that's all.
Lu Tao chased after Xue Luo Shangren from the east of Mufeng City all the way to the west.
A man in the early stage of the Organ Refinement realm was hunted down by a man who had reached the peak of the Organ Refinement realm. This scene shocked hundreds of thousands of people in Mufeng City.
This has become a topic of much discussion.
Lu Tao's name gradually spread throughout Mufeng City.
"Young friend, spare my life! It was my fault. I apologize to you. I was blind to have dared to provoke you. I beg you to forgive my mistake and let me go."
After being chased and toyed with by Lu Tao all the way, Xue Luo Shangren finally couldn't take it anymore. In order to save his life, he abandoned his so-called dignity and begged Lu Tao for mercy in a low voice.
Lu Tao used his Heavenly Eye to observe the intense resentment emanating from Xue Luo Shangren, silently shook his head, and then swooped down to attack him.
The commotion has already been big enough; there's no need to delay any longer.
"Ah, I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing that Lu Tao had no intention of letting him go, Xue Luo Shangren's bloodlust was aroused. He took out a seventh-grade low-level longsword and also pounced on Lu Tao.
Unfortunately, the weapons were far inferior.
Same trick, same result.
The sword broke, and the shield shattered.
puff!
Then, with a single stab, Blood Luo Shangren could no longer withstand it and was stabbed directly into his heart.
The Blood Luo Venerable glared at Lu Tao with venomous eyes, as if he wanted to devour Lu Tao alive even in death. "Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go."
"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Even if you become a ghost, you'll be killed first by those you cruelly slaughtered back then."
Upon hearing this, Master Xueluo's pupils contracted sharply. Even though he was about to die, he couldn't help but feel terrified, as if he were being vengeful by a vengeful ghost, which made him even more fearful.
"No... I don't want to die... Save me, save me."
Master Xueluo clenched his fist, trying to grab Lu Tao and save his life, but in the end he collapsed powerlessly, his eyes still filled with deep fear.
Lu Tao collected Xue Luo Shangren's corpse and storage bag, paid the fine, and then swept through the cultivation technique pavilion in the west of the city, buying some medicinal herbs and pills along the way. Finally, he flew straight back to Tianyun Inn.
"Red Flower Valley, what will you choose?"
Lu Tao glanced silently in the direction of Red Flower Valley, and then, amidst the cheers of countless people, flew into the Sky Cloud Inn...
