753: 752: This is just the beginning 753: 752: This is just the beginning After Xu Zhi was injured, he began to grow agitated, unable to accept this reality.
His killing intent resurged, and he launched an all-out attack.
His mastery was in divine skills of swordsmanship.
Moreover, it was the Heart Sword.
Among the five of them, he was the best swordsman, but his defense was the weakest.
He was the typical offensive cultivator; the outcome would either be his opponents injured or dead, or himself injured or dead.
Speaking of which, Xu Zhi was also a ruthless man, otherwise, he couldn’t have cultivated to the Emperor Realm.
Facing Xu Zhi’s frenzy, Tang Feng dared not take it lightly.
The sharpness of the attack was extraordinary, with the attack power nearly reaching that of the Empyrean Mystic Realm Early Stage, showing just how much hate the other had for him.
If that’s the case, then die.
Tang Feng bellowed, and several divine skills bombarded out at once, while the Evil Spirit of the Nine Yin Reincarnation Technique suddenly appeared behind Xu Zhi.
“Xu Zhi, be careful!” The four men behind him couldn’t help but cry out in alarm when they saw the semi-illusory Evil Spirit.
Unfortunately, it was a step too late.
Hearing the cries of alarm from behind, a sense of dread struck Xu Zhi’s heart.
Turning his head, he saw a shadowy woman smiling wickedly at him.
At the same time, her jade palm pressed onto his body, and in the next moment, his body was hit hard, sending him flying towards Tang Feng’s direction.
“Sorry, your fate ends here.” Tang Feng activated the rarely used Swallowing Heaven Technique, and the next moment, Xu Zhi felt as though he was being sucked into a spatial rift, an experience he could have avoided if he wasn’t injured, but now he was powerless to resist.
A burst of intense shadows exploded in front of Tang Feng, swallowing Xu Zhi whole; when the shadows dispersed, Xu Zhi had disappeared, while Tang Feng’s cultivation broke through to the Immortal Emperor Realm.
The Swallowing Heaven Technique was just that overbearing; six-tenths of Xu Zhi’s cultivation from the Emperor Realm was swallowed by the Swallowing Sky Tower, and the remaining four-tenths went to Tang Feng, just enough to help him break through his bottleneck.
Feeling the surging Immortal Essence within, Tang Feng was still somewhat excited.
At the same time, he felt fortunate for acquiring the Swallowing Heaven Technique.
If someone else had gotten it, that person would undoubtedly become a strong adversary in the future, and who would be stronger was uncertain.
Now, having such a powerful cultivation technique in his own hands, he felt at ease.
If necessary, it could be his trump card.
The others naturally didn’t see through Xu Zhi’s death, but they no longer dared to underestimate Tang Feng and even deeply feared him.
Now no one thought that Tang Feng was unworthy of Xin Wan; this guy was just too cunning.
If the four joined forces, they might have a chance, but they wouldn’t do that.
It was just about a woman, after all.
They wanted to cause trouble before because they liked to show off.
They stopped causing trouble now because they were unsure of their victory; if they lost, it wouldn’t just be a loss of face, their lives might be at stake as well.
So, one after another, the four men left, and the matter came to an end.
They would definitely not disturb Xin Wan again in the future.
After they left, Tang Feng finally relaxed, then collapsed on the ground, having used up all his Immortal Essence.
To be exact, he was drained.
If his body hadn’t been special, he might have exploded from the breakthrough earlier.
It was a close call, but he was alright.
Holding Tang Feng, Xin Wan was also worried, but when she found out that Tang Feng was merely exhausted, she breathed a sigh of relief.
From today on, her world could finally be peaceful.
She would no longer have to entertain those people.
She had been courteous before due to her desire to find a solution to the troubles within the mansion through them.
Having taken Tang Feng back to the mansion, their plans to go shopping naturally had to be postponed.
Tang Feng was out for a whole day, but fortunately, he didn’t miss the auction.
Otherwise, Xin Wan would have been very upset.
Tang Feng had come to Dragon Rock City for the sake of the auction; it could be said to be a rare grand event of Tianchen Star.
All the city lords would send their trusted people to attend, some even went alone.
This auction was proclaimed to be the grandest event in history, featuring several items from other planets.
Tang Feng’s invitation was given to him by Lord Wushuang.
Those who could get their hands on such an invitation were no ordinary people.
Even with Xin Wan’s capabilities, she managed to procure one, and in Dragon Rock City, her Jiang Family was never to be underestimated.
Even now, with the Jiang Family excluding her, her status remained prestigious.
As a legitimate descendant of the Jiang Family, she had no choice but to relinquish her position as family head due to the strange occurrences within the Jiang Mansion.
Consequently, control of the Jiang Family shifted from the legitimate line to a collateral branch.
This change had lasted for tens of thousands of years.
Now, the only remaining legitimate descendants were her and the few old elders within the clan.
It was precisely because of those old elders that no one dared to make a move against her Jiang Mansion.
In fact, ever since the discovery of the Extremely Yin Land within the Jiang Mansion, the neighbouring houses had long been deserted, as ordinary immortals could not stop the encroachment of the yin energy.
Suffering from chronic illness and unable to bear it for more than a few years, they had to move away.
At that time, after learning about this incident, Jiang Xin Wan even provided them with a subsidy.
This gesture won her neighbors’ favor, and naturally, any grudges they held against the Jiang Family dissipated.
Good deeds always yield good rewards.
Now, as a major crisis loomed, Tang Feng appeared.
At that moment, Jiang Xin Wan tenderly helped Tang Feng get dressed, looking very much the doting little wife, a transformation she relished.
After having a bit of breakfast outside, the two arrived at the auction house.
Dragon Rock Auction House was somewhat renowned in the entire Purple Extreme Immortal Domain.
It had previously auctioned items from other planets, but none as valuable as this time.
Ancient relics, these four words alone indicated the significance of this auction.
A primary reason for holding the auction here was because Tianchen Star was one of the wealthiest planets.
Moreover, it was home to some greatly influential sects, such as Snowy Immortal Ridge and Purple Bamboo Sacred Land.
Thanks to these two major sects, Tianchen Star thrived.
Otherwise, the Immortal Domain Transmission Array here wouldn’t be of intermediate level.
Only after entering the auction house could one truly realize its size—it had activated Sumeru Space.
Considering the place was filled to capacity, it likely seated no less than ten thousand people.
With so many people vying for the items on stage, Tang Feng couldn’t help but shake his head.
With less than a hundred items up for auction and thousands competing for them, it was rather interesting.
Tang Feng was assigned to a private box.
As the status of the Lord of Wushuang City was not low on Tianchen Star, he was given an “Earth”-tiered box.
There were three levels of boxes: the third level being the “Heaven” tier, the second the “Earth” tier, and the first, the “Man” tier.
Ordinary guests could only sit in the main hall.
Tang Feng and Jiang Xin Wan sat in the box, which featured a projection stone, somewhat similar to Earth’s projectors, though its clarity left much to be desired.
However, it was sufficient to view the auction platform.
The auction began promptly at ten o’clock.
A graceful lady in luxurious attire slowly walked onto the stage from behind.
Clad in form-fitting clothes, her exquisite figure was fully revealed, delighting the occupants of the private boxes.
They knew she was a special-level auctioneer from Dragon Rock Auction House.
Despite her enchanting and gentle appearance, she was actually quite powerful.
An immortal who once harassed her ended up blasted into dust, and since then, the immortals could only admire from a distance, not daring to disrespect her.
It can’t be denied that having an attractive woman hosting the auction indeed provided a good atmosphere.
Even if one didn’t win an auction, they could still appreciate the beauty.
Occasionally indulging in thoughts was also quite pleasant.
