Intimidation!

"Heh, Spirit Hall really is domineering!" Hearing Salas's grand accusation, Xu Sheng felt a surge of anger. He had originally only wanted to drive them out of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, with no intention of killing anyone. Now, he truly wanted to kill.

You've already slandered me. If I don't do something fitting of that identity, wouldn't I be letting you down?

"I had intended to conduct business with integrity, yet I never expected the Elephant Armored Sect and Bishop Salas to make things so difficult for the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Do you take us for weaklings you can bully at will?"

At that moment, a majestic voice came from upstairs. It carried a terrifying pressure that made the martial souls of most people present tremble.

It was suppression from a top-tier martial soul.

"Tap, tap, tap..." Amid a series of heavy footsteps, Xu Yunxiao slowly descended the distant staircase with Xu Tianyang, Xu Nianshuang, and Feng Tianxiang.

Everyone present stared at Xu Yunxiao in shock. With every step he took, the pressure around him rose another degree, easily forcing back Silas's pressure and even driving him back several steps.

"Titled Douluo!!!"

Those four words sprang into everyone's minds. Although Xu Yunxiao had not revealed his Soul Rings, they all reached the same conclusion without a word.

"Buzz!"

At the same time, the instant the four appeared, Chen Xin's eyes sharpened like swords and immediately fell upon Xu Yunxiao and Feng Tianxiang. A sword hum rang out in his heart.

Powerful experts!

At the same time, Xu Yunxiao and Feng Tianxiang looked toward Sword Douluo Chen Xin as well. After nodding in greeting, Xu Yunxiao took the lead and walked toward Xu Sheng.

Chen Xin also withdrew the battle intent in his heart.

"It's them!" The instant Qian Renxue saw Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang, her heart stirred. She murmured in surprise, never expecting them to be people from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

"Uncle Sword?" Although Ning Fengzhi was not particularly powerful, his discernment was absolutely first-rate. The moment Xu Yunxiao appeared, he sensed that the man was extraordinary. Combined with Chen Xin's reaction, it further confirmed his suspicions.

"A very powerful man..." After pondering for a moment, Chen Xin said gravely, "Stronger than Old Dragon, and more dangerous."

Hearing Chen Xin's assessment, Ning Fengzhi stared at Xu Yunxiao in astonishment. The Old Dragon Chen Xin spoke of was none other than Yu Yuanzhen, patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan—a level ninety-five Super Douluo and one of the few supreme experts in the world. Even Bone Douluo might not be able to defeat him in battle.

This unfamiliar Titled Douluo was actually stronger than Yu Yuanzhen!

Just what is their background? At the same time, an even greater question surfaced in Ning Fengzhi's mind.

When Xu Yunxiao reached Xu Sheng's side, he glanced at the Elephant Armored Sect elder staring at him in terror. Raising a hand, he shot a streak of purple light into the man's dantian.

"Aah!"

A miserable scream rang out. The man seemed to age more than ten years in an instant, collapsing to the ground in despair as he clutched his stomach in agony.

"You..." Silas came back to his senses and was just about to speak in accusation. But when he recalled the terrifying aura that surpassed even the two elders, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, he wisely shut his mouth.

"Take your people and get out of my Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Tell Hu Yanzhen that the Myriad Treasures Pavilion demands an explanation. If he does not provide one, I will personally come to collect it another day."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Elephant Armored Sect entourage turned deathly pale. Yet they did not dare utter a word. They hurriedly carried away the elder, who had already fainted, and fled as though running for their lives.

Several burly men standing over two meters tall fled in such a bedraggled state that it looked rather comical.

"Does Bishop Salas have any further instruction for us?"

"I heard that Bishop Salas just labeled my Third Granduncle a Fallen Soul Master. Does that make me, his grandnephew, a Fallen Soul Master as well?"

After dealing with the minor lackeys of the Elephant Armored Sect, Xu Yunxiao turned to Salas and spoke calmly.

"No... no..." At Xu Yunxiao's words, sweat immediately began beading on Salas's forehead. Who could have known that the Myriad Treasures Pavilion had such a powerful backing? It had not only Soul Douluo-level experts, but even a Titled Douluo. Where had all these powerful experts come from? This time, he had truly kicked an iron plate.

"Your Excellency, this is all a misunderstanding..."

"Boom!" Before Silas could explain himself, a terrifying purple dragon claw appeared from the void and struck him viciously.

"Pfft!" Salas spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, crashing to the ground as he continued coughing up blood. The force of that single strike had already gravely injured him. Even with the aid of a healing-type Soul Master, Salas would be bedridden for at least half a month.

The surrounding crowd stared at Xu Yunxiao in horror. They had not expected him to be so forceful that he even dared to strike a bishop of Spirit Hall.

"Everyone, that was merely a small interruption. Now that the matter has been resolved, the Treasure Appreciation Fair will continue. The Myriad Treasures Pavilion believes in harmony bringing wealth, and we hope everyone will leave happily."

After doing all this, Xu Yunxiao ignored Salas and instead looked at the crowd, speaking in a gentle tone.

Xu Yunxiao's gentle attitude immediately eased everyone's tense hearts. After exchanging a few polite words, they resumed wandering around. However, the doubts and discussions from before had grown much quieter.

Xu Yunxiao and Feng Tianxiang soon left the scene. With him there, no one could relax, and the desired intimidation had already been achieved. It was better to leave the people of Douluo Continent with more room for imagination.

As for Xu Sheng, he found a counter and sat down.

Xu Tianyang and Xu Nianshuang followed him to the counter before him and stared at him in surprise. "Third Granduncle, you actually put this thing out as well?"

On that Exhibition Booth sat a Soul Bone. It was blue-violet in color and floated in the center of the booth. It appeared to be a delicate left leg bone, its surface radiating blue-violet light. More precisely, it was not light, but lightning. Without a doubt, it was a lightning-attribute Soul Bone.

Lightning surged and made the enormous crystal display case shine brilliantly with blue-violet radiance.

There was a placard beneath the Soul Bone, covered in writing.

Furious Thunder Left Leg Bone.

It came from a nine-thousand-year Thunder Lion and contained the fixed Soul Skill Thunderous Fury. It greatly enhanced a Soul Master's lightning-attribute power and attack strength, making it suitable for lightning-attribute Soul Masters. However, the lightning power contained within was too violent. Absorption was not recommended for Soul Masters whose martial souls were of insufficient quality or whose foundations were not deep enough.

Without question, this was a fine Soul Bone. Though it had not reached the Ten Thousand Year level, its quality and Soul Skill were enough to make it comparable to some Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. Xu Yunxiao and the others had actually been willing to put it on display.

"Hehe." Looking at the astonished Xu Tianyang, Xu Sheng wore a mysterious smile. "Tianyang, this Soul Bone has no listed price. We intend to trade it for something else and see whether we can get something good. If not, using it to bait some fish would be fine too."

"..."

Hearing Xu Sheng's words, Xu Tianyang could not help admiring their audacity. He understood better than anyone just how deep the waters of Douluo Continent ran.

Although those old geezers from Spirit Hall would not make a move, the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would certainly be tempted once they learned of it. Coupled with the current mix of all sorts of people in Heaven Dou City, if their group did not make a move when the time came, they likely would not be able to get away easily.

"Don't worry, Tianyang. It's only a Thousand-Year Soul Bone, and we have prepared quite a few contingencies." Seeming to see through Xu Tianyang's worries, Xu Sheng said meaningfully.
