Chapter 791: Chapter 785: Incomparable (6 more)
Elder Ji spoke.
He lifted the red cloth.
A stunningly beautiful longsword vibrated at the depths of everyone’s gaze.
The sword measured four feet in length.
The body of the sword was a reddish gold color.
There were many exquisitely lifelike patterns engraved upon the sword, which was a sight to enjoy.
The edge and tip of the sword twinkled indescribably, and with one glance, a bone-chilling sharpness seemed to sear into one’s vision.
What was most unforgettable was the hilt of the sword—it was so delicately forged that it appeared as if the Azure Heaven itself had handcrafted it.
In sum, this was a sword meant for a woman, and moreover, it was dazzlingly beautiful.
Su Chen noticed that Li Ping’s delicate frame visibly trembled.
Clearly, she liked this sword.
The sword was indeed suitable for a woman.
If a man were to use this sword, it would be somewhat short and a bit too ostentatious.
"The starting bid is 150 million!" Elder Ji announced gravely, feeling a bit of regret in his heart. This sword was actually a Supreme Treasure, but since it was suited for a woman and not a man, most of the martial cultivators present—about eighty percent—were men. Despite the fact that in the Martial Cultivation Continent everyone practiced martial arts, many women would reduce their participation in bloody battles after marriage to focus on supporting their husbands and educating their children. This resulted in a disparity in the number of powerful individuals, with men outnumbering women. If the sword had been suitable for men, Elder Ji would have set the starting bid at at least 200 million.
"Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask for your consideration in allowing this prince some face. This sword is perfect for the Prince’s Consort. I bid 200 million!" In the next moment, the Fifth Prince, Nangong Ao, suddenly spoke up. Nangong Ao had just been married not long ago, and his consort was the cherished daughter of a top-level family from Nan E Ancient Capital, a match of equal talents and beauty. As soon as Nangong Ao saw this sword, he knew that if he were to gift it to his consort, she would surely love it.
Therefore, he stepped forward.
And he invoked the privilege of the royal family.
Why not use the face of the Royal Family to save money?
Of course, this privilege was limited. It would be useless to try it on people like Tian Sanlin, Yao Zheng, Lu Yuanfang, and Hua Wuwei, who definitely would not compete for a woman’s sword. As far as he knew, these people did not have anyone they were fond of; they were all solitary individuals.
The rest would either give face to the Royal Family out of fear or it would come down to Wei Lin and Nineteenth Sister.
Wei Lin herself did not care for martial arts cultivation, so she definitely wouldn’t spend a huge amount of money on it. She came here for the sake of the Wei Family and likely would not waste money so frivolously.
As for Nineteenth Sister, she didn’t use a sword at all.
However!!!
Just as Nangong Ao’s voice faded, almost without any delay,
"50 million." Su Chen spat out two words directly.
That was quite the slap in the face.
Just after Nangong Ao had finished asking for consideration, he had not expected this...
Nangong Ao was still standing there, his hands clasped in a gesture of respect, not yet lowered.
He was first taken aback and then his expression was something to behold!
The others in the auction hall were dumbstruck.
Was this a challenge to the Royal Family with undying determination?
Slapping one’s face should not be done in this manner.
Nangong Ao must have wanted to curse you into oblivion!
He would now become a joke henceforth.
Moreover, to start with a bid of 50 million—the entire hall could count less than thirty individuals capable of taking out such an amount.
Not to mention, Su Chen had already spent 230 million!
Just how wealthy were you!
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Su Chen, filled with shock, astonishment, confusion, and speechlessness...
And Su Chen, his expression unchanging.
He felt this was quite normal; with his wealth, putting in more money to crush everything else would save him trouble.
As for the so-called face of Nangong Ao, ha... in Su Chen’s view, Nangong Ao’s face was simply not worth much at all, leaving no room for doubt!
"Brother Su!!! Are you sure you want to compete with this prince for this sword?" Nangong Ao took a deep breath, his breathing incredibly strained as he stared darkly at Su Chen, his gaze unwavering.
Su Chen still paid him no heed.
It was just an auction.
Plain and simple, the highest bid wins. Why bother with conversation?
Seeing Su Chen still ignoring him, Nangong Ao nearly spat blood.
Su Chen’s previous slap in the face had already made it so he couldn’t step down, and now... another slap in the face! He was completely ignored!
So many people were watching.
Nangong Ao wished he could tear Su Chen into a million pieces, but of course, he couldn’t do that here in the Sacred Auction House, where fighting was forbidden. To start a fight here would be to go against the Sacred Auction House itself. So, Nangong Ao had to hold back.
But he couldn’t swallow this insult.
Besides, if he swallowed this insult, how could he, Nangong Ao, continue to mix in the Nan E Ancient Capital? By doing so, he would also be throwing away the face of the Nan E Royal Family.
After a moment of thought, Nangong Ao gritted his teeth and shouted, "510 million!"
He had to compete.
There was no reason not to compete. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
He had brought twelve billion Black Xuan Stones with him, and originally, he planned to take down this sword and then look for an opportunity to grab another treasure. Now, he had no such thoughts, only one: to take this sword.
Nangong Ao was truly vying for it. Upon hearing Nangong Ao’s bid, the atmosphere in the hall subtly changed.
Such a big spender! Bids at the five hundred million level, tsk tsk... the Sacred Auction House is going to make a killing. This sword, it’s worth two to three hundred million at most, no more.
Following Nangong Ao’s bid, everyone turned their attention to Su Chen.
Su Chen remained expressionless.
"Brother Su, you should think it over. On a small platform, a warning can be given. If you don’t have the money and want to show off, that just won’t do!" Nangong Ao glared at Su Chen, warning him, his voice sinister and cold.
Su Chen still paid him no mind.
His expression unchanging.
Then.
"One billion!" Su Chen said these two words indifferently, just that capricious, doubling it!!! Doubling it again! Based on five hundred million, still doubling it!
Su Chen’s voice spread throughout the entire hall.
In an instant.
Ninety percent of the people were gasping for breath.
Had he completely lost his mind?
Who the hell bids like this? No matter the price, just double it? Shit! A lot of people were really feeling a thousand Devouring Beasts pass through their hearts...
And Nangong Ao, obviously, his face contorted, with the corners of his mouth twitching.
This wasn’t just a slap in the face, but his face being trampled on the ground!
He even felt an urge to vomit blood.
His mind was in some disarray.
He stared at Su Chen intently, his eyes bloodshot!
More than just wanting to kill, he wanted to devour someone!
Nangong Ao was gnashing his teeth in anger, nearly biting them to pieces. He took a deep breath, also driven mad by rage, determined to fight for his pride. He stared at Su Chen and then shouted, "One billion and ten million!!!"
He had twelve billion on him.
He could afford one billion and ten million.
Nangong Ao was actually still competing?
The auction hall finally became agitated.
No one expected that only the third auction item would bring such a spectacle, and what’s more, the drama was extremely entertaining.
We’re talking billion-level bids here!
You know, the last time billion-level bids appeared was during the final three treasures of the previous auction.
And this time?
There’s just no comparison!
Soon, many piercing gazes were fixed on Su Chen!
Watching intently.
And Su Chen, still quiet and expressionless, seemed as if everything were unrelated to him.
Under the gaze of thousands, Su Chen casually uttered three words: "Two billion!"
[The excitement continues tomorrow, seeking recommendation tickets, ahhh, it’s the holiday season, and when there are family gatherings, just like tonight when Nanjihai went to visit relatives for dinner and didn’t get back until nine in the evening, it’s really busy, but I still have to update, and I also have to stick to six Chapters a day so I can only write late at night. During the holiday period, updates will be later than usual, please be understanding! No rush, no curses! Haha... It’s the holidays after all; let’s all have fun!]
PS: Recommending a good book, titled "Eternal God Emperor of the City."
