Enemies Meet, The Auction House Again

"What?!"

Dai Mubai shook his head.

Regaining his senses.

Seeing Ji Feng standing in the distance, completely unscathed.

His second soul skill had actually missed, leaving him both shocked and furious.

"What kind of evil art did you use?!"

Zhu Zhuqing also stared at Ji Feng in shock.

She had been close by.

She had vaguely sensed that strange bird, a sharp, piercing cry of fluctuation.

This mysterious youth who had saved her.

Could actually neutralize Dai Mubai's enraged strike so nonchalantly?

One had to know, Dai Mubai's combat power was absolutely top-tier among his peers!

"Evil art?"

Ji Feng brushed some non-existent dust off his black robe.

His voice came through the fabric, carrying a faint mockery.

"Your own skills are lacking, and your soul skill missed."

"So you blame others for using evil arts? Is this the extent of the Star Luo Imperial Family prince's capacity and discernment?"

"You!"

Dai Mubai was struck in a sore spot.

He was even more incensed.

Killing intent surged in his evil eyes.

His third soul ring began to glow, preparing to unleash a stronger soul skill.

"Stop!"

"Private fighting is prohibited within Suotuo City! Violators will be severely punished!"

Just then, a squad of soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Suotuo City Garrison ran over quickly.

The captain leading them shouted a stern warning.

Clearly, the sound of the soul skill explosion and the fluctuations of soul power had caught the attention of a nearby patrol.

Dai Mubai's movements stalled.

Though arrogant.

He knew that killing someone openly within Suotuo City.

Especially when the opponent seemed to have some strange methods.

Would bring unnecessary trouble.

He glared at Ji Feng, gritting his teeth.

"Kid, consider yourself lucky! Don't let me run into you outside the city!"

Ji Feng ignored him entirely, his gaze instead shifting past Dai Mubai.

He looked toward a person slowly emerging from the shadows on the other side of the hotel.

That person was also wearing ordinary clothes.

But his eyes were sinister, his face pale.

It was none other than Tang San, who had just narrowly escaped from the Unrivaled Dragon Snake couple.

Having fled back to Suotuo City in a sorry state!

He had been resting in the hotel.

Hearing the commotion, he came out to investigate and recognized Ji Feng's black robe and figure at a glance!

Although Ji Feng hadn't turned around, Tang San had long since carved into his heart the black-robed man who had snatched his two-thousand-year Man Faced Demon Spider in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The one who had caused him to be captured by the Dragon Duke and Snake Matriarch.

Leaving him unable to defend himself and suffering endless humiliation!

He would never mistake that aura of soul power!

"It's... you!"

Tang San squeezed the two words out through his teeth.

His eyes instantly flooded with bloodshot veins, the boundless killing intent nearly manifesting into physical form.

Mysterious Heaven Skill circulated at high speed.

His palm quietly reached toward the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist.

New grudges and old hatreds surged in his heart; if not for the presence of the City Defense Guard.

He would have immediately unleashed all his hidden weapons.

To tear this black-robed man who ruined his opportunity and endangered his life into a thousand pieces!

Ji Feng also sensed the undisguised killing intent from Tang San.

He sneered inwardly, yet remained calm on the surface.

He had long anticipated this day would come.

Their gazes collided in the air, sparks flying.

Dai Mubai also noticed Tang San's intense hostility toward Ji Feng.

Though he didn't understand the reason, the enemy of an enemy...

He cast a cold, sinister glance at Ji Feng.

Temporarily suppressing the urge to strike.

The City Defense Guard squad leader watched this strange and tense atmosphere.

Especially feeling the not-insignificant soul power fluctuations emanating from Tang San and Dai Mubai.

He frowned and issued another warning.

"Disperse! Anyone caught gathering to cause trouble again will be taken to the City Defense Station!"

Tang San took a deep breath.

Forcing himself to calm down.

He cast one final, venomous glare at Ji Feng.

As if trying to carve his image into the depths of his soul.

Then, without a word, he turned and walked into the hotel.

Only one thought roared crazily in his heart.

"Black-robed man..."

"No, no matter who you are!"

"I, Tang San, swear that I will make you pay the price!"

"You have already invited your own death!"

"I absolutely... cannot let you leave Suotuo City alive!"

Dai Mubai glared fiercely at Ji Feng.

Then he looked at the expressionless Zhu Zhuqing beside him.

With her distant gaze.

He snorted coldly and swept his sleeves as he entered the hotel.

Zhu Zhuqing gave Ji Feng a complex look.

Whispering a soft "be careful," she quickly left this place of trouble.

Ji Feng stood where he was.

Ignoring the curious gazes of the crowd and the urging of the City Defense Guard.

Only after everyone had dispersed.

Did he slowly turn around, walk into the Rose Hotel, and return to his reserved room.

Closing the door, he shut out the outside world.

He leaned against the door.

Slowly exhaling a breath of stale air.

A bit too much happened today. However, the result was quite good.

He summoned his system panel.

Confirming the words Blacksmith (High-Level) once more.

A flash of excitement crossed his eyes.

Without hesitation.

He immediately retrieved the prepared materials from his storage Soul Tool.

Hundred-Refined Iron as the base.

Mixed with a small amount of Mithril Powder pilfered from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect workshop.

Along with a small vial of Concentrated Venom obtained from a Man Faced Demon Spider.

Soul power surged.

The phantom of the Hou Yi Martial Soul flickered slightly behind him.

The scorching and pure light-attribute soul power was carefully channeled out by him.

It was injected into the Forging Furnace before him.

The furnace fire instantly turned pale gold.

He cast the materials inside.

Following the Tier 2 equipment provided by the King Equipment System in the panel.

[Blood-Sucking Scythe]

Blueprints and forging rhythm.

Directly select forge!

In the system panel.

Animations of shaping and quenching flashed by.

The entire process was smooth and flowing, the skill of a High-Level Blacksmith.

Combined with the special light of the Hou Yi Martial Soul.

The extraordinary affinity and purification ability of fire-attribute soul power toward metal.

Made this forging exceptionally smooth.

Several hours later, the night deepened.

In Ji Feng's hand.

There was now a strange weapon about two feet long.

It resembled a curved blade, with lines that were smooth yet eerie.

The entire body appeared dark red, with blood-like veins faintly swimming across the blade.

It felt ice-cold to the touch, yet one could seemingly sense the bloodthirsty craving contained within.

[Blood-Sucking Scythe]

Special Effect: +8% Life Steal

"It's done!"

A sharp light flashed in Ji Feng's eyes.

With this thing, taking it to the Suotuo Auction House to be auctioned.

It would surely fetch quite a few gold coins.

This was only the beginning.

Over the next few days.

Ji Feng stayed behind closed doors.

Aside from necessary rest and cultivation.

He spent his time in the room studying blueprints.

Attempting to forge other Tier 2 equipment, preparing for his upcoming plans.

A few days later.

Ji Feng arrived at the entrance of the Suotuo Auction House once again.

This time, his entire body was still shrouded in a black robe; no one could see his face clearly.

In his hand, he held an inconspicuous wooden box.

Inside it.

Was none other than that [Blood-Sucking Scythe].

He intended to auction it off to exchange for more liquid capital.

At the same time, he would make a name for himself as a blacksmith.

Paving the way for higher-tier equipment in the future.

Just as he was about to step into the magnificent gates of the auction house.

A familiar figure.

Also happened to walk over from another direction, only to be stopped by the guards at the entrance.

That person was wearing old blue clothes.

His face was covered by a mask that obscured his eyes.

Revealing only a pair of gloomy eyes.

It was none other than Tang San!

He had clearly come to auction his Tang Sect hidden weapons.
