Killing a Four-Star Dou Wang, Ya Fei Finally Sees True Appearance (Seeking Collection, Seeking Subscription)

"Bang!"

"How bold!"

"Who is it? To think someone would dare to oppose this old man time and time again!"

Old Ghost Dou Wang was livid. He had been determined to secure this Tier 6 ancient beast hide. He had assumed this auction would be a breeze, but who could have guessed that two other Dou Wang experts would show up?

Fortunately, he had prepared thoroughly for this Tier 6 ancient beast hide, and after a fierce bidding war, he had ultimately emerged victorious.

Just as he was filled with joy, preparing to take hold of the Tier 6 ancient beast hide that supposedly contained records of a Dou Zong ruin, someone had intervened.

This was simply not showing him, a Dou Wang expert, any respect at all!

If this could be tolerated, what could not!

Did they really think he was a sick cat just because he hadn't bared his fangs?

He was enraged!

He decided he would show this ignorant fool a lesson!

"Damned bastard!"

"This old man will twist your head right off your neck!"

His face twisted into a snarl, his cold, sinister eyes revealing intense killing intent. Surging Dou Qi, like a torrential flood, swept overwhelmingly toward the direction from which the voice had come.

He was determined to drag this damned fellow out!

Even if it meant offending the Mittel Clan, he would grind them to dust in front of everyone!

"Hmm?"

"What kind of mongrel is barking here?"

"You're courting death!!!"

Inside VIP Room No. 1, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Ze's eyes.

He let out a cold snort and flicked his finger, sending a sword aura whistling from his fingertip.

Earth-tier Intermediate Dou Technique: Holy Spirit Sword Technique!

Sword One!

In an instant, the sword aura shattered the opponent's momentum.

"What?"

Old Ghost Dou Wang was struck with terror.

Feeling the terrifying sword intent rushing toward him, he did not hesitate. He let out a low roar and frantically circulated the Dou Qi within his body. In a split second, a dense mass of black Dou Qi spread throughout the private room, eventually forming layers of barriers to protect him.

"You have some tricks, but not enough!" Xiao Ze sneered.

The opponent's aura was around that of a four-star Dou Wang, and he possessed a Profound-tier High-level Dou Technique. Under normal circumstances, he would have the strength to fight even a high-level Dou Wang.

But unfortunately, the person he had encountered today was Xiao Ze.

A seven-star Dou Huang!

Even a casual strike from him was not something the other could withstand.

In the end, before the terrified eyes of Old Ghost Dou Wang, the sword aura transformed into an illusory three-inch dagger. After effortlessly destroying the barriers before him, it pierced straight through his skull.

Puchi—

A spray of blood erupted from the back of his head.

The Dou Wang expert, who had been imposing and majestic just a second ago, lost all signs of life in the next, becoming nothing more than a cold corpse.

One strike!

A single strike!

It had killed a four-star Dou Wang.

This scene stunned the two remaining Dou Wangs in the auction house. Even the Dou Wang from the Mittel Clan, who had come from the Imperial Capital to oversee the auction, was left dumbfounded.

They had never imagined that someone could kill a Dou Wang expert so easily.

This kind of strength... it was truly terrifying!

"A Dou Huang!"

"The person who attacked must be a Dou Huang expert!"

The other three Dou Wangs present all gasped in unison. Anyone capable of instantly killing a Dou Wang expert with such ease had to be a Dou Huang!

Damn it!

What kind of hellish place was Wutan City?

How could there be a Dou Huang expert here?

In an instant, the two remaining Dou Wangs participating in the auction broke out in a cold sweat. They were terrified, fearing that this mysterious Dou Huang powerhouse might turn his hand against them.

"If I'd known a Dou Huang was here, I wouldn't have come to join in the fun. Wouldn't it have been better to just stay in the Hundred Poison Cave and cultivate? Why did I have to come here and seek death... If I can just survive this ordeal, I'm willing to rot away in the Hundred Poison Cave and never step out for the rest of my life!"

"The Gama Empire is truly terrifying. How can you run into a Dou Huang just by visiting a random, remote little city? Daddy, I want to go home!"

The two Dou Wang powerhouses turned pale, sitting in their private boxes, their entire bodies trembling.

Everything that transpired within the private box remained hidden.

Only those at the Dou Wang level could perceive it; to everyone else outside, it merely felt as though the oppressive pressure that had been hanging over their heads had suddenly vanished. They knew nothing else.

They had no idea that a Dou Wang had died silently right under their very noses.

"This old man bids one Rank 6 Monster Core!"

"Does anyone else wish to compete with this old man?"

Xiao Ze's voice rang out once more.

Hearing this, the two remaining Dou Wangs shook their heads frantically.

Are you kidding?

They only wanted to save their lives now; how could they dare to compete with this murderous Dou Huang?

They were praying for the auction to end as quickly as possible so they could make a run for it!

With no competition left from them.

Xiao Ze only had to bid once to successfully secure the Rank 6 ancient beast hide.

With the final item sold.

The auction was officially declared over.

The crowd in the venue breathed a collective sigh of relief and began to file out of the auction house in an orderly fashion.

Compared to their composure, the two Dou Wangs who had narrowly escaped death looked far more disheveled. The moment Ya Fei announced the end of the auction, they bolted out of the auction house at top speed.

They were terrified that if they were even a second too slow, they would be snatched up by that terrifying Dou Huang.

"Hmph, those two sure run fast!" Watching the pair flee the city, Xiao Ze felt quite speechless.

They didn't even stop to think: if he had truly wanted to kill them, would they have even had a chance to escape?

Just as Xiao Ze stretched his back, preparing to head to the auction floor to collect his winnings.

Knock, knock, knock—

A crisp knocking sound echoed.

Immediately after, two graceful figures pushed the door open and entered.

"This concubine, Ya Fei, greets the senior of the Xiao Clan!" A fragrant breeze wafted in, and a soft, honeyed voice rang in his ears, drawing Xiao Ze's gaze toward her involuntarily.

What met his eyes were a pair of shapely, straight legs. A tight-fitting red silk robe outlined her perfect figure; her bosom was firm and upright, her willow-thin waist was smooth and delicate, and those long, alluring peach-blossom eyes were enough to stir anyone's heart.

"Oh? How did you know I was an ancestor of the Xiao Clan? Aren't you afraid of mistaking me for someone else?" Xiao Ze studied the beauty before him with interest.

Ya Fei smiled sweetly. "Senior, you jest. To be able to kill a Dou Wang with a single strike—only a powerhouse like you could accomplish such a feat."

The moment she saw Xiao Ze's youthful appearance, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

Only then did she understand what Elder Meng meant when he said the 'ancestor of the Xiao Clan is somewhat peculiar.'

Logically speaking, a Dou Huang like Xiao Ze shouldn't just be white-haired and elderly; he should at least be middle-aged. Furthermore, according to the information gathered by the Mittel Auction House.

The ancestor of the Xiao Clan was a figure from at least a hundred years ago.

Such a person, even if still alive, should look aged. At the very least, he shouldn't look like the twenty-year-old youth standing before her.

Is it a miraculous cultivation technique? Or did this Xiao Clan ancestor obtain some kind of opportunity in his youth to maintain his appearance? Ya Fei whispered to herself.

The world was vast, and all sorts of opportunities existed.

Rather than believing that this ancestor could return to his youth, it was easier to believe he had consumed some kind of pill capable of preserving one's looks.
