The atmosphere inside the auction hall was heavy and oppressive.
Tang Hao stood tall and straight like a pine tree beneath his black robe, his face remaining unchanged despite the heavy encirclement.
"Sect Leader Ning, I have a reason why I must take this item!"
His gaze swept over the experts of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, finally landing on Ning Fengzhi. He then cupped his hands in greeting and said...
Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo beside him, let out a cold laugh, his voice sharp and piercing.
"Oh? The reason why we had to take it?"
"That's really strange. Do you have a reason to just rob someone without using gold soul coins?"
"If everyone in the world were like you, always saying they had a compelling reason to take it, wouldn't our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's gates be trampled down?"
"Can we just say we have a reason not to take the inherited soul bone of your Haotian Sect?"
Gu Rong's tone was full of sarcasm.
Ning Fengzhi raised his hand, signaling Gu Rong to calm down.
He smiled, as gentle and refined as ever, but his words were sharp and witty.
"Your Excellency, last time when we tried to seize the Water of Life, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, out of consideration for our past relationship, gave us some face and did not truly fight back, nor did we investigate further."
"But if you seize by force again today, how will the world view my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
"They'll say that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is nothing more than a treasure trove where anyone can take whatever they want, and that anyone with enough guts can barge in and do whatever they want?"
"Where is the dignity of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Where are the rules of my Seven Treasure Auction House?"
Ning Fengzhi's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached every corner, and every word struck the hearts of everyone.
Tang Hao remained silent for a moment, his fist clenching and unclenching beneath his black robe.
He slowly shook his head.
No.
"What I have taken today, I will repay double in the future."
He made a promise as if his words were golden rules.
Ning Fengzhi's smile remained unchanged, but his eyes turned colder.
"Your Majesty, I am first and foremost a businessman."
“If this item were the private property of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, out of consideration for our past relationship, I, Ning, might be willing to do you a favor.”
"But this Qiluo Tulip is an item consigned for auction by someone else. My Qibao Auction House is merely auctioning it on their behalf."
"How could I be so generous as to give away my guest's treasures so casually?"
"This is against the rules and will further damage the reputation of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
He paused, then his tone became even more resolute.
Therefore, this is absolutely impossible.
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's aura suddenly became sharp.
"Since that's the case..."
"Then, I, Tang, have no choice but to seize this item today!"
The moment he finished speaking, a surge of immense soul power erupted from his body, causing his black robes to flutter and rustle even without wind.
"Shameless madman!"
With a furious roar, Yang Wudi, the patriarch of the Broken Clan, pointed his Soul-Breaking Spear directly at Tang Hao, the tip of the spear flickering with bloody light.
His eyes widened, burning with rage.
"Tang Hao! Who knew you were so powerful? Your Clear Sky Hammer is even hailed as the number one weapon spirit in the world!"
"But don't forget, there are four Title Douluos here today, including Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, plus us Soul Douluos assisting us!"
"How dare you be so arrogant and presumptuous!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Tang Hao looked up at the sky and laughed loudly, his laughter filled with desolation and domineering power.
"Arrogant?"
"Why should I, Tang Hao, explain my actions to you?"
Before his laughter subsided, all nine of his spirit rings suddenly lit up!
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
The most dazzling thing was the last blood-red 100,000-year soul ring, which exuded a terrifying pressure that made people's hearts tremble.
boom--!
A gigantic black hammer phantom materialized above his head, a full hundred meters long, exuding an aura of world-destroying power.
Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul True Form
The entire auction house trembled violently due to this oppressive force, and countless weaker Soul Masters turned pale, almost collapsing to their knees.
Tang Hao held the almost solidified Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, his gaze sharp as lightning, staring directly at Ning Fengzhi.
"Sect Master Ning, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the best in the world in terms of support skills. You must also be aware of the power of my Haotian School's ultimate technique, the Great Sumeru Hammer."
"If I have to pay any price today, even if it costs me my life, I will take this thing with me."
"Whether your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can keep me is another matter. Even if you can keep me, I'm afraid you will suffer a great loss of vitality and your foundation will be shaken."
"Have you considered the cost? Is it worth it?"
His words struck Ning Fengzhi's heart like a heavy hammer.
Ning Fengzhi's expression changed slightly, and the Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong behind him also looked solemn.
"Bullshit!"
Xu Jiushi stepped forward with his burly body, blocking Ning Fengzhi's path.
His entire body shone with golden light, and nine spirit rings shot into the sky!
Two yellows! Two purples! Four blacks!
The last one was also a dazzling 100,000-year-old red soul ring!
roar--!
With a deafening roar, an enormous golden Xuanwu phantom completely enveloped Xu Jiushi.
Then, Xu Jiushi transformed directly into a giant golden Xuanwu, its armor as thick as a mountain, shimmering with an immortal metallic luster, and its limbs strong and powerful, as if capable of shattering the earth.
The Golden Xuanwu Martial Soul True Form!
Xu Jiushi's voice, like a resounding bell, echoed throughout the entire venue.
"Tang Hao, you brat! Stop being so arrogant!"
"Show me your damn special skill, whatever it is!"
"I'll see if you can break through my defenses today!"
At this moment, the pressure he exuded was in no way inferior to that of Tang Hao.
For the first time, Tang Hao's eyes, which were usually filled with killing intent and determination, showed shock.
Such a powerful defensive martial soul true form!
During the last contest, he briefly clashed with Xu Jiushi, but the latter did not use his full strength, so he did not feel the latter's power.
Now it seems...
For a moment, Tang Hao found himself in a dilemma.
Just as tensions were about to escalate and a conflict was imminent, a clear voice rang out, reaching everyone's ears.
"Sect Master, Elders."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ning Liu walking out slowly, his expression calm but his eyes sharp as knives.
He first bowed slightly to Ning Fengzhi, then turned his gaze to the two sides in the arena, who were on the verge of exchanging blows.
"This man must be captured today!"
Then, he surveyed the chaotic auction hall and announced loudly.
"Distinguished guests, today's events were caused by the mishandling of our Qibao Auction House, which has disturbed your enjoyment."
"If this auction has caused any losses to you, Qibao Auction House will compensate you three times the amount!"
"As for this Haotian Douluo..."
Ning Liu looked at Tang Hao, her eyes filled with a hint of coldness.
"Let's do it!"
