Chapter 465 Auction Storm, Bloodshed to Establish Authority (3)
Just when the four powerful merchant guilds thought they were about to succeed, a sudden change occurred!
The entire auditorium transformed in an instant!
Raging waves, raging flames, giant trees, and boundless deserts—illusions swirl and pull everyone into a bizarre and fantastical world!
At the same time, several sharp sword lights slashed out from the void, forming a profound sword formation, and strangled the two early Nascent Soul stage cultivators and three Golden Core stage cultivators!
The most lethal Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation!
The figure of Qinghe Daoist appeared silently beside Lietian, holding an array plate and expressionlessly manipulating the array.
The Nascent Soul Peak cultivator, who had the highest cultivation level, was directly trapped by the nine roaring fire dragons, and the scorching heat caused his soul to be scattered!
Nine Dragons Departing from Fire Formation!
Shen Rugo's current Nine Dragons Fire Formation is naturally much more terrifying than before.
"No! There's an ambush!"
"How many more layers of formations are there?!"
The powerful figures from the four major chambers of commerce cried out in terror. They felt as if they were trapped in a quagmire, with illusions swirling before their eyes, making it impossible for them to discern directions, let alone identify their targets.
With the help of the formation, Lietian and Qinghe Daoren acted like death gods reaping lives.
Sword light flashed, dragon flames roared, and trapping and illusion arrays alternated in operation.
The three peak Golden Core cultivators were the first to succumb, turning into blood mist under the onslaught of the sword formation.
The two early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators barely managed to resist for a few breaths before being burned to ashes by the dragon flames that followed. Even their Nascent Soul stage cultivation failed to escape.
The last Nascent Soul peak cultivator was the most powerful. He roared repeatedly and used his natal magic weapon to desperately attack the formation, trying to tear open a path to survival.
However, under the dual suppression of the Nine Dragons Fire Formation and the Lesser Five Elements Illusion Killing Formation, his struggles were in vain. The nine fire dragons delivered a fatal blow, instantly burning him to ashes, and even his primordial spirit dissipated in the terrifying flames!
In just over ten breaths, all six powerful figures sent by the four major merchant guilds, including a Nascent Soul peak cultivator, were killed!
The formation was removed, and the auditorium returned to its original state, leaving only a few charred marks and a faint smell of blood, testifying to the fierce battle that had just taken place.
The entire room fell silent. Everyone was pale and trembling as they stared toward the private room on the second floor.
The Star Pavilion not only possesses amazing treasures, but its strength is also terrifyingly outrageous!
They can kill even those at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage without hesitation!
Lie Tian stepped onto the platform again, ignoring the fearful gazes of the crowd, and declared in a booming voice: "A few clowns have disturbed your enjoyment, and have now been removed. The auction shall continue!"
The auction proceeded in an eerie and oppressive atmosphere, and no one dared to make the slightest move.
In the end, all the communication talismans and level-five runes were sold, and Star Pavilion gained a massive amount of spirit stones. More importantly, it earned an unparalleled fearsome reputation!
As the auction drew to a close, Lie Tian was preparing to go on stage to give a final summary and promote Xingge's future business plans.
Suddenly, another strange event occurred!
An aura ten or even a hundred times more terrifying than that of the previous Nascent Soul Peak cultivator erupted from the center of the hall without warning, like a dormant ancient beast awakening!
A black blade of light silently slashed towards Lietian!
Nascent Soul cultivator!
It was actually a Nascent Soul cultivator who personally launched the sneak attack!
The change was so sudden that no one was able to react in time.
The black blade was incredibly fast, and the destructive energy it contained distorted space. Lie Tian could even feel the cold breath of the Grim Reaper!
At the critical moment!
hum!
The multiple formations that had been secretly activated by Daoist Qinghe erupted in full force in an instant!
The Five Elements Illusion, the Nine Dragons Fire Formation, and the Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation, which were several times more powerful than those that had previously trapped and killed peak Nascent Soul cultivators, filled the entire space!
At that moment, everyone seemed to have fallen into an endless purgatory, unable to move.
Qinghe Daoist's eyes sharpened, and he slammed out his palm, arriving first despite being behind, to meet the black blade of light.
At the same time, the array plate in his hand shone brightly as he fully controlled the array, trapping the Nascent Soul cultivator who had launched the sneak attack.
"boom!!!"
The palm strike collided with the blade's edge, producing no earth-shattering roar, only a sickeningly loud sound of energy annihilation.
The dissipated energy was firmly bound by the formation, but the destructive fluctuations still terrified the nearby cultivators, after all, this was a strike from the Nascent Soul stage.
The attacker was dressed in a black robe with a blurred face, clearly concealed by a secret technique.
He originally intended to kill Lie Tian, the guild leader, in one fell swoop, leaving the Star Pavilion leaderless, and then retreat calmly.
He never expected the Star Pavilion to be so heavily guarded, with not only a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, but also an array whose power far exceeded his imagination!
"not good!"
The black-robed Nascent Soul cultivator was terrified and immediately tried to tear through space to escape.
However, this was a multi-layered array meticulously prepared by Shen Rugo and personally controlled by Daoist Qinghe. The space was as solid as iron, and he simply could not break it!
Before my eyes were endless illusions, in my ears were the roars of dragons and the howls of swords, and all around me were blazing flames and sharp sword energy!
"Break this seat!"
The black-robed deity roared, summoning an umbrella-shaped magic weapon to protect himself. He formed hand seals, and countless black ghostly shadows roared and rushed outwards, attempting to tear apart the formation.
Qinghe Daoren and Lietian worked together seamlessly, one controlling the formation and the other attacking from afar, using the formation as cover to deliver fatal blows from time to time.
In particular, the nine fiery dragons formed by the Nine Dragons Fire Formation each possessed the power to burn mountains and boil seas, leaving the black-robed Nascent Soul cultivator struggling to cope.
The fierce battle raged within the independent space formed by the array. The cultivators outside could only see the center of the hall shrouded in chaotic light, from which came chilling sounds of energy collisions and roars, but they could not see the specific details of the battle.
But everyone understood that this was a life-or-death battle at the Nascent Soul level!
Xingge is actually fighting against a Nascent Soul Ancestor!
As time passed, the black-robed Nascent Soul cultivator grew increasingly alarmed. His magical power was rapidly depleting, and the light of his protective magic treasure was gradually dimming.
However, the opponent's formation was like a piece of chewing gum, clinging to him tightly, with each wave of attacks becoming more and more intense.
"what!!"
A piercing scream rang out.
Under the combined attack of Qinghe Daoist's tricky "Piercing Void Finger" and the nine Divine Dragons of Fire, the black-robed Nascent Soul cultivator's defenses were finally breached.
The umbrella-shaped magical artifact let out a mournful cry, and its spiritual light dissipated.
Countless sword energies and dragon flames instantly engulfed it.
Once everything calmed down and the light of the array faded, only a charred, unrecognizable corpse remained in the center of the hall; its primordial spirit had long since vanished under the burning flames.
A god-level cultivator has fallen!
Silence, deathly silence.
Everyone seemed to have all their strength drained away, slumped in their seats, their backs soaked with cold sweat.
Looking at the charred corpse of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and then at Lie Tian, whose expression was calm as if he had only done something insignificant, boundless fear and awe were deeply etched into the souls of everyone present.
The Star Pavilion is invincible!
Suppressing his lingering fear and excitement, Lie Tian stepped onto the platform again, his voice icy and filled with murderous intent: "It seems there are still those who are not convinced. No matter, my Star Pavilion will take them on!"
Today, I take this opportunity to officially announce that the Star Pavilion Chamber of Commerce will fully enter the cultivation and trading market in the Northwest Region!
Communication talismans and level 5 runes will be available in limited quantities at all Star Pavilion branches. Pre-orders are required, and the price will be calculated at 80% of today's average auction price!
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the silent crowd below: "The Star Pavilion acts with clear distinction between gratitude and resentment! Those who are my friends share resources and achieve mutual benefit; those who are my enemies, this is their fate!"
The voice was firm and resounding.
