Chapter 93: Auction—The Bloodslayer Greatblade!
“A legendary weapon?! I thought this was just a rumor from the auction house, but it truly exists!”
“Damn, I’ve never seen a legendary item in my entire life!”
“To think that such a legendary item would appear in our humble Radiant Moon City!”
“This is terrifying!”
Under the gaze of the crowd, a long blade slowly hovered in midair, surrounded by protective arrays set up by powerful cultivators.
These arrays served to safeguard the weapon.
“This aura, this feeling—there’s no mistake. This is a legendary item!” Gongsun Qian’er murmured in awe.
Xiao Yun, pleased with the crowd’s reaction, smiled and said, “The blade’s body is forged from a blend of blood-red and black, giving it an imposing presence.”
“Of course, being a legendary item, no one is concerned with its appearance alone.”
“I’ll briefly introduce the weapon. It’s said that a mighty warrior slew a saint-level beast to obtain this blade, though the exact creature remains unknown.”
“Our auction house doesn’t pursue such details; all I can tell you is that the Blood-Slaughter Blade, though legendary, possesses attributes that nearly rival those of saint-tier equipment.”
“Among legendary items, it stands at the very pinnacle.”
“If a supreme cultivator wields it, they would even stand a chance against saint-level opponents!”
“I’m sure none of you care for my words anymore, so let me reveal its stats for your appreciation!”
[Name]: Blood-Slaughter Blade
[Type]: Long Blade
[Rank]: Legendary
[Description]: Grants a berserk effect, increasing the wielder’s physical power by 30%. Also bestows a bloodthirst effect, allowing the user to sacrifice themselves for a full 50% boost to all attributes.
“What insane stats! This is terrifying!”
“Didn’t you hear the auctioneer? It dropped after slaying a saint-level beast, so naturally, it’s powerful. But these attributes are just outrageous!”
“Simplicity aside, a 30% increase in physical power! That’s frightening!”
“Especially the final boost of 50% to all attributes—within the same realm, one would be invincible!”
“Heaven-defying, absolutely heaven-defying!”
Seeing these stats, not only the ordinary crowd, but even the five great clans could no longer sit still!
Though it appears merely legendary, its performance is almost indistinguishable from saint equipment!
Acquiring this item would essentially create an invincible powerhouse among peers!
“This weapon—we must have it!”
“We will obtain it!”
“It can belong only to us!”
“We cannot let others get it!”
The five great clans grew serious; whichever clan acquired the blade would become a threat to the others.
Only in their own hands would it be truly safe.
Xiao Yun continued, “The Blood-Slaughter Blade starts at fifty million, with a minimum bid increment of five million!”
“The auction begins!”
At that price, those on the first floor nearly all gave up—the starting bid of fifty million was already far beyond their reach, let alone increments of five million!
It was simply out of their league.
“Little brother, we must win this blade.” Ma Tianxin said calmly, “We’ve held back all this time. Even if we pay extra, the Blood-Slaughter Blade must come to our Ma Family!”
“Don’t worry, sister. I won’t hold back this time.”
Ma Tianxing’s lips curled into a smile, and he immediately called out, “Fifty-five million! Will the others give the Ma Family this honor? After the auction, I’ll host a gathering for everyone.”
Gongsun Qian’er laughed, “Young Master Ma, that’s not quite right. The rules were clear: the highest bidder wins. The Blood-Slaughter Blade belongs to the Gongsun Family. Sixty million!”
“That’s right, treasures go to the highest bidder. You’re still a bit young, Young Master Ma.”
Li Changqi stood up and shouted, “Sixty-five million!”
“Besides, none of you can even use this weapon. Give it to me—a warrior by profession—so it can fulfill its true potential.”
Chen Feng also stood and declared, “Seventy million!”
“Brother Chen, you’re already among the best of our generation. Don’t be too greedy. Why not let me have it? Seventy-five million!” Wang Xu said with a smile.
Seventy-five million!
Just among the five great clans, the bidding had already reached seventy-five million!
Lin Han listened from above, stunned. He hadn’t expected the Blood-Slaughter Blade to be so hotly contested!
These people were completely mad, fighting over it like lunatics!
Manager Liu had initially estimated the price at sixty million, but now it was fifteen million higher—and at this rate, it might even reach a hundred million!
It was just as Manager Liu predicted; put up for auction, and the price would soar!
Those scions of the great clans might preach benevolence and morality in public, but when it came to real competition, they were anything but courteous.
They looked ready to risk everything.
Some even quoted his earlier words...
“Eighty million!”
Chen Feng suddenly spoke, “Everyone, the five great clans are united. No need to make it so tense. The Blood-Slaughter Blade suits my profession perfectly. Could you spare me this honor?”
“Chen Feng, you wish for too much.” Ma Tianxing sneered, “You haven’t even broken through to King-level yet. Do you think, even if you win, your elders will let you use it?”
“Stop dreaming, Chen Feng!”
“Eighty-five million!”
Chen Feng shot him a cold look and said, “Young Master Ma, who uses it is our Chen Family’s business, not yours.”
“You couldn’t get the third ruin fragment, and you won’t get the Blood-Slaughter Blade either.”
Meanwhile, from another VIP suite, a voice rang out: “Ninety million!”
Who was it?!
The five great clans glanced over. In their heated battle, they’d forgotten everyone else.
There were powerful forces here besides them!
Next, the glass screen slowly rose, revealing the face of a handsome middle-aged man.
“Azure Dragon Guild, Li Sanjin!”
“Everyone, we of the Azure Dragon Guild are very interested in the Blood-Slaughter Blade. Would you be willing to let us have it?”
“Li Sanjin, don’t even think about it. Your Azure Dragon Guild wants too much already!”
