Chapter 533 - Nothing to Worry About!
Chapter 533 Nothing to Worry About!
Surprisingly, Li Dun and Job, who were sworn enemies, now allied with each other to contend against Chu Xun. They stared fiercely at Chu Xun, who looked very calm.
The two of them were not fools, but instead they could be called geniuses. They wondered if there really was a great power behind Chu Xun and if he was just acting pretentiously.
“Which power are you from?” Job asked.
Chu Xun glanced at him coldly. “I don’t know that the Jacob Auction House has a rule about identity check.”
Job’s face darkened. “Sir, I’m just asking. I want to make friends with you.”
“Do you want to make friends with me?” Chu Xun looked at him strangely and said, “to be honest, you don’t deserve to be my friend.”
“Do you know who you’re talking to?” Job’s aura swirled wildly around him, and he gave off a murderous vibe.
All the people were dumbfounded. They wondered what Chu Xun had up his sleeve and why he dared to offend Job like that.
Chu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly. “How dare they show killing intent in front of me?”
“Job, this is the Jacob Auction House.” Rumbling sounds rang out from all directions. The masters at the Immortal Level in the Jacob Auction House spoke up. There was a hint of warning in their voices.
Job’s eyes looked cold and fierce. He said to Chu Xun, “Everything changes. We’ll just have to wait and see.”
After saying that, he swung his arm and walked back into his private room. The Jacob Auction House was the Frank Family’s property. He couldn’t afford to offend the Frank Family. However, he had already sent his men to investigate Chu Xun’s identity. Chu Xun’s life depended on the result of the investigation.
Li Dun curled his lip and grinned viciously. He glanced at Chu Xun, turned around, and returned to his room.
“What happened just now is a brief interlude. The auction continues,” Nick said with a smile. Then he asked the attendant to present the next item.
The fourth auction item was a hide. Nick said that the hide was a treasure map, and of course, it was only part of the complete map. The reserve price was eight thousand pieces of Fire Spinel.
“Fifty thousand pieces of Fire Spinel.”
As soon as Nick finished speaking, Chu Xun immediately offered fifty thousand pieces of Fire Spinel.
The crowd burst into an uproar. They all looked at Chu Xun as if he were a fool. “Why does he have to spend his Fire Spinel like that? What a squanderer!”
Li Dun and Job were infuriated. At first, they wanted to raise the bid price to annoy Chu Xun, but in the end, they were deeply shocked by Chu Xun’s big move. Even though they were from powerful families, they had never spent Fire Spinel like that.
Nick smiled happily.
“My honored guest, I’ve prepared a room for you. Please go up there and have a rest.”
“There’s no need.” Chu Xun waved his hand to interrupt him. “Take out whatever you have. Don’t waste our time.”
Nick hurriedly nodded and presented the fifth auction item. It was a magic saber, a high-grade demonic artifact. The reserve price was twenty thousand pieces of Fire Spinel.
“One hundred thousand pieces of Fire Spinel.” Chu Xun made a bid.
The crowd fell silent. They had never seen or heard of such a way of bidding.
“He just makes his bid at will. Who dares to bid against him? If someone makes a bid of one hundred thousand and one hundred pieces of Fire Spinel and he doesn’t want to make a higher bid, that person will get into a terrible situation.”
Li Dun and Job dared not make a bid, even though they wanted to trick Chu Xun.
The sixth auction item was a demonic flute, which was a very precious high-grade demonic artifact. The starting bid was twenty thousand pieces of Fire Spinel.
Chu Xun made a bid of one hundred thousand pieces of Fire Spinel, which shocked everyone at the auction.
“It is now time for the seventh item...”
“One hundred and fifty thousand pieces of Fire Spinel.”
Before Nick finished speaking, Chu Xun directly made his bid.
Even the masters at the Immortal Level, who had been remaining silent and motionless, were shocked.
Clank!
A pile of Fire Spinel appeared in front of Nick.
Nick’s throat went dry, wishing he could give Chu Xun a big hug and call him the God of Wealth.
“The next item...” Chu Xun reminded him.
“Yes, yes, yes... The next item, the next item, bring it over quickly.” Nick couldn’t stay calm. Chu Xun had paid so much Fire Spinel, so the amount of his commission would be an enormous figure, and he would make a big fortune.
“The eighth auction item is the Fiery Green Lotus...” Nick opened a jade box, revealing a strange flower. It was shaped like a lotus and jade green in color, and it had red flames on its surface.
“I believe that everyone knows the use of the Fiery Green Lotus. The reserve price is...”
“Three hundred thousand pieces of Fire Spinel,” said Chu Xun.
The people at the auction were already used to it. Strictly speaking, they had become apathetic. “This person is a maniac.”
“Three hundred and ten thousand pieces of Fire Spinel.” Li Dun was angry. He wanted to annoy Chu Xun. “Don’t you have a lot of Fire Spinel? I won’t let you get it so easily.”
“Young Master, calm down. There is no need to bid against him,” said a master at the Immortal Level beside Li Dun.
“Gray, don’t worry. This person is brainless. He will definitely make a higher bid.” Li Dun was very confident.
Chu Xun glanced at Li Dun’s private room and said, “Five hundred thousand pieces of Fire Spinel.”
As Chu Xun’s voice faded away, the crowd burst into an uproar again.
Nick was so excited that he trembled. “Five hundred thousand pieces of Fire Spinel. It’s an enormous figure.”
“Young Master, you mustn’t...”
“Five hundred thousand and one hundred pieces of Fire Spinel.”
The masters at the Immortal Level beside Li Dun hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was too late. He had already shouted his bid.
“Gray, what are you worried about? That idiot will surely offer a higher price.” Li Dun seemed very calm and confident.
Chu Xun narrowed his eyes and curled his lip slightly. He didn’t speak.
“Do you want to offer a higher price?” Nick waited for a long time, and the hammer in his hand did not fall. He looked at Chu Xun eagerly, but Chu Xun glanced at him with a faint smile and did not speak.
“Strike the hammer. I believe that nobody will offer a price higher than five hundred thousand and one hundred pieces of Fire Spinel. I’m glad to let this Mr. Li have the Fiery Green Lotus,” Chu Xun said playfully.
Upon hearing Chu Xun’s words, Li Dun’s face turned deathly pale. It was not that he couldn’t afford to pay the Fire Spinel, but that his status in his family would definitely be affected if his family knew that he spent ten times the normal price for a Fiery Green Lotus. In that case, he would become a joke.
Nick knew that Chu Xun would not make a higher offer, so he struck the hammer in disappointment.
Each time the hammer fell, Li Dun felt like the hammer was striking his chest, and his face grew even paler.
“Alas...” Gray shook his head in disappointment. Li Dun was too impatient. He had to think about if Li Dun was worth his training.
Gray’s sigh made Li Dun’s heart sink to the bottom. Li Dun hated Chu Xun even more.
“Congratulations to you for getting the Fiery Green Lotus, Mr. Li,” Job said loudly.
Li Dun roared furiously like an enraged lion. “Job, stop gloating over my misfortune! Do you believe that I can kill you?”
“Li Dun, you’re really giving yourself airs. I’m right here. Why don’t you give it a try?” Job sneered.
Nick struck the hammer three times.
“Mr. Li, this Fiery Green Lotus will be yours after you pay the Fire Spinel.” Nick didn’t sympathize with Li Dun at all. As long as he could get more commission, he didn’t care to whom the auction item was sold.
Li Dun’s face turned blue and white alternately, as if he was bereft of his parents. He didn’t have that much Fire Spinel on him.
Gray waved his hand and produced a pile of Fire Spinel. Looking at Li Dun, he shook his head and said, “Young Master, take care of yourself.”
Li Dun felt lost and realized that he suffered a great loss because of his capricious behavior. Boiling with rage, he yelled at Chu Xun, “You bastard, it’s all your fault. I’m going to kill you.”
Chu Xun’s eyes flashed with cold light, and the look on his face changed slightly. He sensed over a dozen very strong auras surrounding the entire auction house.
He curled his lip slightly and made his move, which was faster than he had expected.
Boom!
He raised his hand to strike Li Dun with his palm. The Hong Meng Immortal Qi surged wildly.
Gray was shocked and angry. The look on his face suddenly changed when he sensed the terrifying aura from Chu Xun. He quickly made his move and shouted angrily, “How dare you!”
Li Dun was scared out of his wits and screamed shrilly. He found that he seemed rooted to the spot. He couldn’t move at all, and he was unable to activate his power.
Boom!
The wooden room exploded. Li Dun instantly turned into blood mist. Gray howled in panic as the magic power around him gave way. In the end, his body was blown into pieces.
Chu Xun quickly put away the Fiery Green Lotus and took Li Dun’s Fire Spinel.
A deathly silence filled the whole place. No one expected that Chu Xun would be so terrifying and kill Li Dun and a master at the Immortal Level.
Boom!
Nick, who had collapsed to the floor, paralyzed by fear, suddenly exploded and turned into blood mist. The Storage Ring on his finger was taken away by Chu Xun. All the Fire Spinel that he had earned was stored in this ring.
Chu Xun sneered. He had offered absurdly high prices because he was confident that he could get all the Fire Spinel back. He had to be patient before he saw the Fiery Green Lotus. After the Fiery Green Lotus appeared, he had nothing to worry about.
Derrick was trembling with fear. How could he not be scared when he saw his old rival, Gray, being smashed by a palm? He tried to protect Job, whose arms and legs had become limp, as they fled towards the door.
Chu Xun sneered. “Are you trying to run away? How ridiculous!” In a flash, he got close to Derrick and threw a punch.
Derrick looked frightened. A foul aura surged wildly around him. He tried to block Chu Xun’s attack with his palm.
The fist and the palm collided, producing a strong force. The surrounding tables and chairs were instantly smashed to pieces by the strong force.
Click!
There came an ear-piercing sound of bones cracking. Derrick screamed in horror. Chu Xun’s punch shattered his foul aura and broke the bones in his arms. In the end, Derrick’s body was blown into pieces by the terrifying force surging like raging waves.
Job was so scared that he collapsed to the ground and almost passed out.
Chu Xun raised his hand to strike Job. Just then, a man rushed in like a bolt of lightning and charged at him. The man shouted wildly, “Chu the Devil, how dare you hurt people? Surrender now.”
“Who do you think you are? Even the Fifth Fiend Lord doesn’t dare to talk to me like that.” Chu Xun activated his divine sense. The Demon-slaughtering Palm fell.
The man roared furiously, giving off a strong foul aura. He launched a fierce palm strike at the falling giant palm.
Boom!
Blast waves rolled, and shrill cries rang out. Struck by Chu Xun’s palm, the man smashed into the ground, and more than half of the bones in his body broke. He was badly mutilated and looked extremely miserable.
“How dare you bark at me?” Chu Xun flicked his finger. A beam of purple light shot out and blew the man’s head up, and blood could be seen all over the place.
With a palm strike, Chu Xun smashed Job into blood mist.
At this time, over a dozen figures rushed into the hall, scattered, and surrounded Chu Xun.
“Chu the Devil, where do you think you’re going?” One of them shouted loudly. The speaker had an overwhelming foul aura.
Chu Xun looked at him and said disdainfully, “When did I say I was going to escape?”
“Humph! You know you can’t escape, right? Surrender now!” A Demonic Immortal shouted.
Chu Xun’s eyes were full of sarcasm. He said contemptuously, “The Fifth Fiend Lord’s words might carry weight. Who do you think you are? You don’t deserve to tell me to surrender!”
