Looking at Dai Mubai, Lin Yuan spoke.
"Your fiancée can be pledged as collateral for 320,000 Gold Soul Coins, enough for you to buy on credit. But I must warn you: you have only seven days! Bring the Gold Soul Coins to redeem her within seven days, or your fiancée will belong to my Lin Auction House, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Bloodline you won will no longer be yours either. Do you understand?"
Having successfully pledged his fiancée as collateral to buy on credit, Dai Mubai was overjoyed. The corners of his mouth lifted in an unabashed smile, and his eyes shone as he answered Lin Yuan, "I understand, Boss Lin!"
After answering Lin Yuan, Dai Mubai continued, "Boss Lin, there's no time to lose. I'll return to the Star Luo Empire for the Gold Soul Coins right now. I won't need seven days-three! I'll be back to settle the bill in three days at most. As for the next few days, sorry to trouble you to look after my fiancée, Boss Lin. I'd be endlessly grateful!"
Lin Yuan replied, "All right. Go and come back quickly."
"Okay, Boss Lin." With that, Dai Mubai headed downstairs.
Not long after Dai Mubai went downstairs, Lin Yuan headed down as well.
With so much commotion outside, how could Lin Yuan not take a look?
As soon as he stepped outside, Lin Yuan saw three sides facing off.
On one side stood Spirit Hall's Pope Bibi Dong, its Second Worship Golden Crocodile Douluo, and their companions.
On another stood the Snow Empress, the Ice Empress, Hell Demon Dragon Zi JI, Scarlet King the Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff, Ice Bear King Xiaobai, and their companions.
On the other side were Ning Fengzhi, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, and Sword Douluo Chen Xin.
Footsteps sounded behind Lin Yuan.
A thick smell of blood drew closer to Lin Yuan along with the footsteps.
Without looking back, Lin Yuan asked, "Your Majesty, King of Slaughter, are you going to get involved with them, or return to Slaughter City?"
In response to Lin Yuan's question, the King of Slaughter smiled. "Get involved with them? I have no interest in that. Soul Beast Soul Rings and Soul Bones are useless to me. I already have everything I need. Boss Lin, I came empty-handed this time and am leaving empty-handed, but that won't happen next time. I look forward to receiving another invitation from you in three days."
"Of course, of course," Lin Yuan replied courteously.
Having received Lin Yuan's reply, the King of Slaughter left with his two subordinates.
After the King of Slaughter and his two subordinates departed, Qian Renxue reminded Golden Crocodile Douluo of something, and he looked toward Ning Fengzhi's group of three. Looking at Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen and Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke slowly. "Boy from the Yu Clan, and boy from the Chen Clan, you should have heard of me, Golden Crocodile. Never mind you two-even your fathers would have to respectfully address me as senior if they saw me. In a moment, we of Spirit Hall will make our move against those five beasts. I hope you won't interfere. Of course, you can interfere, but you'd better help rather than hinder us. Otherwise, I'll pick a good day and pay a visit to your sects."
Boom!
After warning Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, Golden Crocodile Douluo revealed his Soul Ring configuration.
His first Soul Ring was yellow, a hundred-year ring.
His third Soul Ring was purple, a thousand-year ring.
His fifth Soul Ring was black, a ten-thousand-year ring.
His ninth Soul Ring was red, a hundred-thousand-year ring!
On the Douluo Continent, Titled Douluo with Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings were few and far between, and Golden Crocodile was one of them.
After revealing his Soul Rings, Golden Crocodile shifted his gaze to the Snow Empress and her companions.
Clearly, a great battle was about to erupt!
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao and Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu were locked in a chase.
At first, there had been only a short distance between them, but as time passed, the gap widened.
That was right-Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu was slower than Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao!
What Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao relied on to outrun Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu went without saying: it was the hundred-thousand-year External Soul Bone, the Wind Lightning Wings, which he had just obtained and absorbed at the Lin Auction House. The Wind Lightning Wings had two features: one was that they provided elemental power, and the other was their incredible flying speed.
Without the boost from the Hundred Thousand Year External Soul Bone Wind Lightning Wings, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao would never have been able to outrun Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu, and Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu would certainly have caught him. When that happened, Tang Hao would have faced a frenzied assault from Qian Daoliu, a level ninety-nine Titled Douluo.
The mere thought of that scene made Tang Hao shudder.
Boom!
Behind Tang Hao, Qian Daoliu unleashed the Soul Power within him and sped up his pursuit.
I absolutely can't let him catch me!
If he catches me, I'm done for!
Sensing Qian Daoliu accelerate, those two thoughts immediately sprang into Tang Hao's mind.
Boom!
Without the slightest hesitation, Tang Hao immediately unleashed the Soul Power within him as well. His speed reached an unprecedented level; he had never moved so fast in his life.
At that moment, if an ordinary Soul Master had seen Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu and Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao, they would certainly have mistaken the two for meteors. The pair were simply moving far too fast, gone in the blink of an eye.
Just as Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu was so engrossed in pursuing Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao that he forgot everything else, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao suddenly stopped fleeing.
Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao hovered motionless in midair, staring fixedly ahead.
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu was immediately puzzled.
Tang Hao had been running just fine, so why had he suddenly stopped?
Qian Daoliu soon learned why Tang Hao had stopped.
A gigantic black dragon was not far ahead of Tang Hao. It threaded through the clouds, its pair of wings beating constantly. The black dragon was so enormous that it was no exaggeration to say it blotted out the sky and the sun!
The moment the black dragon came into view, Tang Hao's instincts told him it was extremely powerful, its level of danger more or less on par with Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu's!
Of course, none of that was the most important thing.
Most importantly, the black dragon was heading in the opposite direction from Tang Hao!
How, then, could Tang Hao dare act rashly?
Tang Hao held his position, fully on guard, not daring to be careless or let his guard down in the slightest.
Like Tang Hao, Qian Daoliu saw the black dragon and sensed that it was no ordinary creature. He too held his position, on full alert and ready for a great battle.
Qian Daoliu and Tang Hao had seen the black dragon.
The black dragon had also seen Qian Daoliu and Tang Hao.
Two humans, both quite strong.
That was the black dragon's assessment of Qian Daoliu and Tang Hao.
The black dragon was none other than Beast God Di Tian, whose true form was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.
Di Tian paid Qian Daoliu and Tang Hao no attention.
He flew straight past the two of them.
His current destination was the Lin Auction House in Suotuo City.
Everything else could be set aside for now.
Boom!
As soon as the black dragon swept past him, Tang Hao decisively resumed his flight.
This time, Qian Daoliu did not pursue the fleeing Tang Hao.
Qian Daoliu looked in the direction the black dragon had gone, his brows tightly furrowed and his expression grave. "Is that black dragon heading to the Lin Auction House?!"
