When Lin Yuan finished speaking, the Soul Masters and Soul Beasts followed his gaze. Everyone wanted to see who the new guests were.
Three people came into view.
The one in front was tall and clad in a blood-red robe. His face was utterly pale, without a trace of color, like someone who had been dead for three or four days. A thick stench of blood surrounded him; anyone who didn't know better might have thought he'd just crawled out of a pool of blood.
Of the other two, one was as small and scrawny as a monkey, with a sly face and a fawning smile that never left it. The other was as large as a bear, his face like that of a wrathful vajra, naturally imposing even without anger. Like their leader, both were surrounded by an intensely thick stench of blood.
The moment she saw the man in front, the Ice Empress instinctively grew wary. Her battle-hardened instincts told her that the human before her was very strong.
The Ice Empress circulated the Soul Power in her body and stood on high alert, ready to fight at any moment.
Just then, Sword Douluo Chen Xin came down from the second floor, having successfully refined the Green Lotus Sword Martial Soul and become the fourth person on the Douluo Continent to possess Twin Martial Souls.
The sharp-eyed Sword Douluo Chen Xin spotted the three people at the entrance as soon as he came down from the second floor.
With a single glance at the three people he had never met before, Sword Douluo Chen Xin came to two conclusions.
Slaughterers of ten thousand!
Nine-ring Titled Douluo!
Sword Douluo Chen Xin fell into thought.
He was considering where the three before him had come from.
There weren't many powers on the Douluo Continent capable of dispatching three Titled Douluo at once. Aside from Spirit Hall, Sword Douluo Chen Xin knew of only one place.
The gathering place of desperadoes, Slaughter City!
Sword Douluo Chen Xin had only just made his guess and hadn't had time to confirm it when Bibi Dong's intrigued voice reached his ears. "King of Slaughter, I never expected you to receive an invitation from Boss Lin and come to the Lin Auction House too."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin had guessed correctly. The newcomers did indeed hail from Slaughter City.
Not only did the newcomer hail from Slaughter City, he was also its strongest expert, the King of Slaughter!
Like Bibi Dong, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, and the other powerful Soul Masters, the King of Slaughter had received an invitation from Lin Yuan.
[One day from now, the Lin Auction House in Suotuo City will auction one drop of Dark Dragon King Essence Blood, which is of great benefit to Soul Beasts and Beast Martial Soul owners. His Majesty the King of Slaughter is specially invited to attend. With this invitation, His Majesty the King of Slaughter may bring two people with him.]
After reading the invitation, the King of Slaughter left Slaughter City without hesitation, taking two capable subordinates with him. He headed for Suotuo City in the Heaven Dou Empire, bound for the Lin Auction House mentioned in the invitation.
The Dark Dragon King's blood essence?
The King of Slaughter was very interested in it!
The King of Slaughter and his two companions had traveled nonstop for a day, but unfortunately, they still hadn't reached the Lin Auction House before the auction began.
But that was all right. The King of Slaughter had arrived at just the right time: the Dark Dragon King's blood essence he had been longing for was being auctioned at that very moment.
When Bibi Dong finished speaking, the corners of the King of Slaughter's mouth curved subtly upward, and he smiled. "Rakshasa Woman, you didn't expect me to come, and I likewise didn't expect to encounter two of my Slaughter City's Slaughter Gods here."
In Slaughter City, a place teeming with desperadoes, where the strong ruled and strength reigned supreme, practically every expert had a title unique to them.
Rakshasa Woman?
That was Bibi Dong's title!
It meant a woman more terrifying and dreadful than an evil ghost!
Bibi Dong, the Slaughter God, had a title.
Tang Hao, the Slaughter God, had one too.
Tang Hao's title was simple and clear.
Two words.
Hammer King!
When the King of Slaughter spoke, there was a hint of surprise in his smile.
The instant he entered the Lin Auction House, the King of Slaughter had sensed a power he hadn't felt in a long time.
It was the power of the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
Only Slaughter Gods from Slaughter City possessed that power.
On the Douluo Continent, only two people possessed it.
One was Bibi Dong.
The other was Tang Hao.
Spider Emperor Bibi Dong and Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao had both come to the Lin Auction House?
That was something the King of Slaughter had never expected.
After speaking, the King of Slaughter turned his gaze to Lin Yuan.
Looking at Lin Yuan with a kindly smile, the King of Slaughter said, "Boss Lin, I'd like to participate in the auction for the Dark Dragon King Essence Blood. What is the current bid?"
The King of Slaughter's words puzzled the man to his left, who was as large as a bear. The man looked at Lin Yuan, then turned his gaze to the short man beside him, who was as scrawny as a monkey. Looking at the short man, he asked through a voice transmission, "Brother Hou, what's gotten into His Majesty? Why doesn't he just seize it? Back in Slaughter City, doesn't he usually seize anything he likes or wants? And he's smiling so kindly, too, not as sinister as before."
Upon receiving the man's question, the short man irritably replied through a voice transmission, "Are you stupid? Didn't you see that even Rakshasa Woman, who's far more unreasonable and lawless than His Majesty, is sitting there obediently and doesn't dare cause trouble? On top of that, so many powerful Soul Masters and Soul Beasts are living together peacefully around here. You don't have to think to know there's more to this Lin Auction House than meets the eye, and that Boss Lin must be no ordinary person either. His Majesty may be powerful, but he's not stupid. He knows he can't act rashly at a time like this and must put caution first. You watch yourself too, and don't cause trouble."
After receiving the short man's reply, the man nodded thoughtfully.
Then three big characters popped into the head of the man, whose intelligence was clearly somewhat lacking.
A bully at home.
Before Lin Yuan could answer the King of Slaughter's question, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen spoke up with a new bid. "Five million two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins."
Upon learning the current price of the Dark Dragon King Essence Blood, the smile on the King of Slaughter's face grew wider. "All right, then I bid six million two hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins!"
"Eight million Gold Soul Coins!" Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI raised her head proudly, obvious confidence on her face. She was determined to obtain the Dark Dragon King Essence Blood.
With eight million Gold Soul Coins, she could buy on credit for more than twenty-six million Gold Soul Coins.
In other words, Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI's maximum bid could be more than twenty-six million.
Any more than that wouldn't work.
Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI didn't have enough Gold Soul Coins to buy any more on credit.
Of course, she could also borrow a hundred million or so Gold Soul Coins from the Snow Empress.
"Ten million Gold Soul Coins!"
This time, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen found his nerve. Instead of raising the bid by a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins at a time as he had before, he directly increased it by ten million Gold Soul Coins.
Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen had just remembered that he had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect backing him. There was no need to be so timid and overly restrained.
Mm, it didn't hurt to spend someone else's money.
Seeing Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen raise the bid and continue bidding, Bibi Dong also prepared to bid and follow along.
However, before Bibi Dong could speak, Qian Renxue silently sent her a voice transmission in secret.
"Give up on this lot."
