Robbery and Murder

This man left an indelible mark on her memory. It felt like only yesterday that they met in the world of Monster Hunter, especially that night in the cave when they were intimately entwined—a memory Bao Ling could never forget. Although it wasn't their intention, and they were only close together to escape the Chameleos, the feeling and shame she experienced then haunted her for countless sleepless nights. It could be said that from that moment on, Bao Ling dreamt of that man almost every night.

Now, at her most Despair moment, that man reappeared, and Bao Ling's hope was rekindled. It felt like drinking a cool spring water when thirsty, a soothing sensation spreading through every pore of her body. However, thinking about her surroundings, Bao Ling felt a pang of worry. Li Wei was no weakling, but this was the Star of Destruction, teeming with S-class experts. Could she possibly escape?

"950,000!" A shout rang out from below the stage, the sound like thunder, startling Bao Ling. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall, burly minotaur standing up. The one who had just shouted the bid was him.

"Heavens! Isn't that the Bull Demon? What is he doing?" exclaimed one of the onlookers.

"You idiot, didn't you see the conflict between Bull Demon and that young reincarnator? They probably have an old grudge. Bull Demon is deliberately stirring things up. Just wait and see, there'll be a good show to watch!" another reincarnator laughed.

Bull Demon is no newcomer on the Star of Destruction. He has an S4 combat power and owns three star domains. Of course, only his main star domain, 'Bull Demon', has reached level 5. However, for some reason, it has recently been downgraded to a level 4 star domain.

The Enchanting Fox on the stage frowned, thinking to herself, "Why is this Bull Demon shouting out the price directly? Since the advent of bidding devices, bidding has become rare. Of course, some people do it on purpose to attract attention."

Enchanting Fox had just realized that she had probably 'misunderstood' Greedy Wolf's friend. She had intended to take this opportunity to sell the female slave to him, but unexpectedly, Bull Demon appeared at the last moment. Although Bull Demon's power was not as great as her family's, in terms of combat strength alone, his S4 level strength was much stronger than her S3 level strength. Bull Demon wouldn't provoke her, and she would definitely not provoke this mad bull for no reason.

Moreover, according to the auction rules, once someone has placed a bid, the auction can only proceed if someone else surpasses that bid. Enchanting Fox glanced at Li Wei, secretly wondering, "Can he possibly come up with more money?"

"1.1 million!"

Li Wei didn't stand up, remaining leaning back in his chair, and no longer used the bidding device. His voice was indifferent, as if he didn't take the auction seriously at all. But his bid suddenly increased by 150,000.

The Bull Demon's face was somewhat ashen, but he was certain that the Taiwanese businesswoman had a relationship with Li Wei, so he continued shouting, "1.15 million!"

"1.3 million!" Li Wei's voice followed immediately, seemingly without any hesitation. In his words, money didn't seem to be money, just a simple string of numbers. Of course, he had already added the money donated by the Ming brothers Bright Wolf and Ming Dong, to the list, and now his black card was completely empty.

Fortunately, Greedy Wolf quietly transferred the only 900,000 Destroyer Coin in his black card to Li Wei's black card. Li Wei glanced at Greedy Wolf and gave him a "good brother" look.

The price of 1.3 million had already greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. A female slave with only A1-level combat power, no matter how beautiful she was, was not worth even 800,000. But now, the price had far exceeded 800,000, even reaching 1.3 million. Most importantly, this seemed to be just the beginning.

"Damn it, I'm going to fight you to the death! I'll put up 1.4 million!" Bull Demon's eyes were bloodshot, and his anger had made him lose his mind. His subordinates didn't dare to say anything at this moment. In fact, they didn't even remind him that the money Bull Demon was spending was the capital he had prepared to try his luck by buying a low-level star field.

"1.6 million!"

Li Wei spoke calmly as usual, already tired of the gradual price increases. This time, he directly added 200,000, leaving the audience stunned. They rarely saw anyone bid so high for a female slave at this stage.

Compared to the reincarnators in the audience, the guests in a private room on the second floor all had an air of watching a show.

"Hmph, this Bull Demon is truly shameful. As Destroyer, he actually sits with those lowly Reincarnators and even haggles over a female slave. He's really getting more and more degenerate!"

"That's right! He's completely disgraced us Destroyer!"

The two were still discussing when a voice came from behind them. "Are you two blind? Didn't you realize that kid is also a Destroyer?"

"Is that so?" The two people who had spoken earlier quickly activated some kind of Detection skill, and soon both looked surprised.

"I didn't expect him to actually be the Destroyer, with combat power reaching S2. But how come I've never seen this person before?" said the person who said the Bull Demon King was a disgrace.

"He should be a newcomer. If that's the case, then S2's combat strength is barely acceptable!" another person added.

"I've met this person before. He once entered the 'Mage's Tomb.' The information that the Main God didn't reclaim his body came from this kid. In addition, he also took over the Destroyer of Kai Star!" The last voice had a hint of mockery in its tone.

The two who had spoken earlier were also stunned upon hearing this. One of them said, "It's him! But this kid's luck is really bad. I remember seven Destroyer have already lost their lives because of Kai Star, right? He even dared to take on this hot potato, Kai Star. He really has no fear of death!"

"Alright, we can't interfere with Kai Star's affairs, nor do we have the ability to. For now, let's just watch the show. The real highlight is the 'Pluto Star Domain.' It's said that there's something extremely powerful there. If we can obtain it, we'll have one more asset in our fight against the Main God. So, no matter what, we must seize the Pluto Star Domain in a moment!"

After the last voice spoke, the noise in the private room gradually subsided.

By this time, the price surge was coming to an end.

When Bull Demon gritted his teeth and quoted a high price of 1.7 million, Li Wei did not hesitate at all and raised the price to 2 million. At this moment, Bull Demon's face turned ashen. He never expected that the other party would be willing to spend so much.

He wanted to back down, but with so many eyes on him, if he really backed down, he feared he would never be able to hold his head high again. Especially seeing the disdainful look Li Wei was giving him, he lost his temper.

"That kid is willing to pay 2 million, doesn't that mean the female slave on the stage has a relationship with him?" Bull Demon thought to himself, but with his eyes bloodshot, he added another 100,000 to the price.

"2.1 million!" Enchanting Fox was also shocked by the price. She glanced at Li Wei and saw that he didn't seem to intend to raise the price. She wanted to help, but at this moment, she didn't know what to say.

Upon hearing the offer, Li Wei merely sneered, made a reassuring gesture to Bao Ling on the stage, and then fell silent, refusing to raise the price further.

"2.1 million... once!"

"2.1 million... twice!"

"2.1 million... Sold!"

The Enchanting Fox spirit sighed, but looked at Bao Ling in the cage with some sympathy. She thought to herself that this woman would probably suffer a fate worse than death if she fell into the hands of the Bull Demon. Thinking of everything she had just done to her, she felt a pang of regret.

Bao Ling, inside the cage, felt her heart sink. If she hadn't seen Li Wei's final hand gesture, she probably would have collapsed. Even so, Bao Ling was still terrified. Soon, she was taken off the platform and moved backstage to wait for the buyer to complete the handover procedures.

Meanwhile, Bull Demon led his henchmen up to Li Wei and sneered, "Kid, out of money? Hmph, what's with the show-off if you're broke? Let me tell you, I'm going to take that female slave right now, and then I'll fuck her hard. You... have no objections, right?"

A murderous glint flashed in Li Wei's eyes, but he remained silent.

"Oh, you're quite patient, what a coward. Since you don't care, then I'll have my way with her a few more times. Not only will I have my way, but my brothers will also give that female slave a good beating!"

The henchmen behind Bull Demon also let out wicked smiles, and then Bull Demon swaggered out of the auction hall with his men.

Li Wei simply watched the Bull Demon leave, the murderous intent in his eyes vanishing, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, Greedy Wolf said resentfully, "Brother, with my 900,000, you should have been able to raise the price to 2.2 million. Why did you give up?"

"Because it's unnecessary. That Bull Demon King definitely has more money than me, and he's determined to oppose me, so even if I raise it to 2.2 million, it won't make a difference!" Li Wei stretched and stood up leisurely, saying to Greedy Wolf three men, "I'm going to pee, I'll be back in a bit!"

Seeing that Li Wei's expression was normal, the three men, Greedy Wolf, were still worried and said, "Brother, I'll find someone to help you later and see if we can rescue your friend. If it doesn't work and you insist on fighting, then it's the three of us. We've never been afraid of anyone in a fight!"

Hearing Greedy Wolf's words, Li Wei felt a surge of emotion, but he smiled slightly, patted the three of them on the shoulders, and walked out of the auction house.

Finding a secluded corner, Li Wei's eyes flashed with a fierce glint. He unleashed the Mirror Image, but this time, the Mirror Image wasn't of his enemy, but of himself.

The Mirror Image acted entirely according to his instructions. Li Wei ordered the Mirror Image to return to the auction house, disguise himself, and create some trouble at the appropriate time to attract everyone's attention. Meanwhile, his real body put on a mask and sneaked backstage at the auction house.

What is Li Wei going to do?

Naturally, his goal was to rescue Bao Ling. Seeing the Bull Demon's determined expression, Li Wei conceived this plan: to use the Mirror Image to create an alibi so he could rescue Bao Ling himself. This is why Li Wei didn't care about the Bull Demon at all; even if the Bull Demon won the auction, so what? As long as he kidnapped Bao Ling afterward, the Bull Demon would lose both his money and his lover. Of course, Li Wei had to hurry, ideally finding Bao Ling before the Bull Demon, since in terms of actual combat strength, the Bull Demon was a full two levels higher than him.

After several turns, Li Wei came to the door of a 'handover hall'. A guard stood at the door and wanted to ask Li Wei a question, but Li Wei wouldn't let him speak.

"I'm sorry, we have no enmity, but I have no choice but to kill you!" Li Wei silently murmured to himself, instantly activating the Blood Control Method.

The guard's blood immediately pulverized his heart, and his body trembled before he silently collapsed to the ground.

Li Wei took out the Copper Pot, put the corpse inside, and entered the handover hall without showing any emotion.

This is a long corridor with dozens of rooms on both sides. Each room has a virtual panel displaying information about the items that were just auctioned.

"Can the handover be completed as soon as I enter the room corresponding to the auction item?" Li Wei thought to himself. He walked down the corridor and carefully looked at the virtual panels of each room. Finally, he saw Bao Ling's information on the second to last room.

"This is it!" Li Wei pushed the door open and went in without thinking.

There were two staff members in the room, judging from their attire, they were probably waiting for customers to collect their merchandise. Since they were staff members, their combat strength was not high, both of them were only C-Rank. Bao Ling, on the other hand, had been released from the cage and was sitting in a chair with her head down and expressionless, her hands still wearing shackles.

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. The two staff members in the room initially thought it was the buyer when someone entered, but they saw a person wearing a mask instead.

"Who are you?" The two had barely finished asking when they followed in the guard's footsteps.

Fearing the two would cry out, Li Wei showed no mercy and swiftly finished them off using his Blood Control Method.

The sound of the body falling to the ground startled Bao Ling. She looked up at Li Wei and was immediately stunned. Although the man in front of her was wearing a mask, Bao Ling recognized him at a glance, and the joy in her heart was indescribable.

"Li Wei, you've finally arrived!"

"Shh!" Li Wei quickly made a shushing gesture, because he had already heard the Bull Demon's distinctive laughter outside the door, and he figured he would be coming in soon.

Without hesitation, Li Wei stepped forward and removed Bao Ling's shackles.

"We'll talk about it later, please bear with me for now!" Li Wei looked at Bao Ling, who looked somewhat haggard, apologized, and then took out the Copper Pot and put Bao Ling inside.

Li Wei got up and looked at the two people lying on the ground. After a moment's thought, he took off one of the clothes and put it on, then took the body away. He then lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead.

Li Wei did not use the Shifting Forms and Changing Positions to leave with Bao Ling; he wanted to stay and completely eliminate the Bull Demon. This was something Li Wei had already decided when he saw the Bull Demon at the auction house.

"Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots!"

This is the motto that Li Wei has followed since his rebirth, especially towards those enemies who threaten him. The plan to disguise himself as a corpse and snipe the Bull Demon by surprise was also a plan that Li Wei came up with on the spot.

The sounds outside the door grew louder and louder; Li Wei could already hear footsteps. He quickly held his breath and prepared to deliver Fatal Strike.

The door was finally pushed open.

The first one to enter was naturally the Bull Demon, but to Li Wei's surprise, the Bull Demon Enchanting Fox followed him in. She walked and talked, seemingly discussing something with the Bull Demon.

Li Wei only heard something like, "Could you do me a favor and let this female slave stay?"

Before Enchanting Fox could finish speaking, she noticed the strange situation in the room. The Bull Demon had also seen the empty cage. Apart from the corpses of two auction house staff members, the female slave was nowhere to be found.

"Where is everyone? What on earth is going on?" Bull Demon was shocked, but rushed over in a few steps.

The Enchanting Fox behind him was also shocked. Who would have thought that the auction items would be stolen here? In an instant, she thought of Greedy Wolf's friend.

"Could it be him? No... no, he was clearly still at the auction house just before I arrived!" For a moment, Enchanting Fox had several thoughts popping into her head. At this moment, Bull Demon had already walked to the two corpses and was preparing to examine them.

Then, something even more shocking happened to Enchanting Fox: a corpse on the ground suddenly sprang up and slammed a heavy punch into the temple of the unsuspecting Bull Demon.

A sharp, cracking sound rang out, and the air around the Bull Demon's head shattered. The powerful force also shattered and broke the Bull Demon's horns. The Bull Demon himself was so dizzy from the punch that he didn't know where he was for a moment.

The attacker didn't stop, but continued his fierce attack. At the same time, he raised his other hand, and instantly, hundreds of sharp swords appeared in the air. Before Enchanting Fox could react to the power of the punch, the swords swiftly pierced towards the Bull Demon.

Puff puff puff!

A sharp sound of a weapon piercing skin rang out, and the Bull Demon finally let out a deafening roar, striking out with a palm at the attacker.

His move wasn't intended to harm anyone, but rather to force the attacker back, giving him a chance to catch his breath. The Bull Demon believed that given time to recover, he could surely kill the attacker on the spot.

However, something unexpected happened again.

The man, seeing the Bull Demon unleash a palm strike, neither dodged nor evaded, but continued to perform hand seals. Instantly, thousands of longswords appeared in the air, and then, driven by the attacker, they thrust at the Bull Demon once more.

Although the Bull Demon was fierce, he was still made of flesh and blood. In particular, he thought his opponent would dodge his attack, so he was completely unprepared. In an instant, he was pierced by a thousand long swords, and his palm also struck the attacker.

Both men coughed up blood at the same time, but everyone knew that one was doomed, while the other was only seriously injured.

All of this happened in an instant. Only after seeing the room full of scattered swords did the Enchanting Fox come to her senses. By then, the Bull Demon was barely breathing.
