"Kid, how dare you fool me!"
The Evil Saber glared at Luo Feng, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Even a fool would realize that he had been played by Luo Feng. A complete high-grade Earth level martial arts manual might not even be worth two million second-grade Yuan Stones.
Swish!
With a cold snort from the Evil Saber, a booming aura erupted from his body, causing the surrounding air to tremble violently. The jade plates on the table and the nearby screen shattered instantly.
Immediately, all eyes turned towards this direction.
"Hey, that’s the Evil Saber!"
Someone recognized the Evil Saber’s identity and cried out in surprise.
"It’s indeed him. But who are those two others daring to oppose the Evil Saber? The Evil Saber is at the late stage of the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, and an experienced martial artist at that level. His strength is unfathomable; those two really aren’t afraid of death."
"Don’t underestimate those two. The young man on the left is none other than the current rising star, an Inner Sect Disciple of Linglong Hall, Luo Feng. The girl in red beside him, if I’m not mistaken, should be Yuangang Hall’s ’Red-dusted Vajra’ Lin Hongyi."
"Oh, so it’s them. Still, even if the two join forces, they’re probably no match for the Evil Saber."
The crowd had no more interest in the auction, eager to watch the situation unfold.
Luo Feng paid no heed to the Evil Saber’s menacing gaze and said calmly, "Since you don’t have any Yuan Stones, I won’t keep you company."
Since the Evil Saber wasn’t planning to sell the secret manual’s remnant, there was no point in continuing this.
The Evil Saber’s eyes turned cold. If it weren’t for the fact that fighting was forbidden in the Big Market City, he would have loved to kill Luo Feng right then and there.
Blocking Luo Feng’s path, the Evil Saber glared with a threatening gaze, "Kid, you better think twice about the consequences of refusing me."
"I’ve thought it through."
Luo Feng brushed aside the Evil Saber’s hand and said to Lin Hongyi, "Hong Yi, let’s go."
Lin Hongyi looked at the furious Evil Saber, with a faint smile playing on her lips. The Evil Saber tried to demand an exorbitant price, not expecting Luo Feng to ask for even more, quoting a price of two million second-grade Yuan Stones right off the bat.
"Kid, you are bold! No one who has crossed me, the Evil Saber, ever ends up well, and you won’t be an exception." The Evil Saber, veins pulsing on his forehead, was so angry that his face was flushed. In his wanderings through the rtiad, this was his first time being so humiliated in front of a younger generation.
Luo Feng ignored the Evil Saber’s harsh words, even feeling a hint of amusement inside, realizing that the Evil Saber seemed to have forgotten his own escape from the Wild tribe woman’s pursuit.
Watching Luo Feng and Lin Hongyi’s retreating figures, the Evil Saber looked on grimly.
He had obtained the Four Symbols Ultimate Saber’s remnants a few years ago. Given his insight, he naturally recognized the extraordinary nature of this saber technique and had always wanted to complete the manual.
Unfortunately, there hadn’t been any leads until he was hunted by a Wild tribe expert, forcing him into temporary refuge at the Big Market City. Unbelievably, he stumbled upon leads to the Four Symbols Ultimate Saber here!
Indeed, after searching far and wide, one finds it effortlessly!
After thinking for a while, the Evil Saber placed a silver note on the table and left. He needed to find some people to track Luo Feng’s movements. Once the latter left Big Market City, he could kill him and seize the secret manual remnant.
As for Lin Hongyi, she was of little consequence. It would be even better with her around. He had complete confidence that even if the two teamed up, he could easily win. He harbored deep-seated hatred for the disciples of Yuangang Hall. It would be ideal if he could eliminate a promising Yuangang Hall disciple along with Luo Feng.
As the three left in succession, the crowd was astonished.
"It seems the Evil Saber has a killing intent towards Luo Feng."
"Hmm, Luo Feng doesn’t seem to take the Evil Saber seriously at all. That’s some considerable arrogance."
"He even dared to challenge Lu Xiao Yun, so what is the Evil Saber to him?"
"True that."
"He is now both the City Lord of Big Market City and the fiancé of Dayang Commerce Alliance’s daughter, Yang Wanyi. As long as he stays in the Big Market City, there’s nothing the Evil Saber can do."
"But is he going to be a turtle hiding in its shell forever? The New Dragon List Tournament is only two months away."
The crowd buzzed, each sharing their opinions.
Outside the Business Alliance Hall, Lin Hongyi pursed her enticing red lips and said to Luo Feng, "Luo Feng, I’m sorry."
"Why apologize suddenly?" Luo Feng asked curiously.
Lin Hongyi said, "If I hadn’t let it slip, perhaps the Evil Saber wouldn’t have realized you also have a secret manual remnant."
Luo Feng understood what she meant and smiled, "You don’t need to apologize for that. The Evil Saber’s a veteran of the rtiad. Fooling him is easier said than done. I oversimplified things. And clearly, he wasn’t intending to sell the secret manual remnant. Even if I offered a million second-grade Yuan Stones, he wouldn’t have sold it to me."
Lin Hongyi nodded and said, "The Evil Saber is determined to obtain the secret manual remnant, and you also provoked him earlier. This won’t end easily."
"Of course."
Luo Feng smiled faintly and suddenly glanced behind him, saying, "Huh, they came faster than I expected."
Prompted by Luo Feng, Lin Hongyi quickly sensed several furtive figures tailing them and then looked coolly, saying:
"They must be sent by the Evil Saber to monitor us. Should we deal with them?"
"No need."
Luo Feng shook his head with a cold smile, "I came to Big Market City this time precisely for the secret manual remnant; I can’t let this opportunity slip away. Having them monitor me saves me the trouble of finding him."
"You want to take on the Evil Saber?"
Lin Hongyi slightly raised her arching brows, "Though the Evil Saber is not an upstanding figure, his strength is formidable. You recently broke through to the ninth level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm. Truly dealing with him might be quite a stretch." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
She didn’t want to discourage Luo Feng, so she used the word "stretch." The truth was, Luo Feng didn’t stand a chance.
"Heh, I came out for training. If there’s no danger, what’s the point?"
Luo Feng left his sentence unfinished and met Lin Hongyi’s gaze, "Hong Yi, I..."
"I promise you." Lin Hongyi looked up, straightforwardly saying.
Luo Feng was a bit surprised, "You know what I’m going to say?"
"You want me to help you deal with the Evil Saber. Is that not it?" Lin Hongyi laughed.
"Exactly. Thank you."
Luo Feng exhaled lightly, nodding.
Now that he had mastered the Demon Form Technique and stepped into the eighth transformation of the Divine Dragon Nine Changes’ Blood Soul Transformation, his odds against the Evil Saber were two to three out of ten. Even after a while, the odds wouldn’t exceed four out of ten. In normal circumstances, he could afford to stay longer in Big Market City, but with the New Dragon List Tournament fast approaching, he couldn’t waste any more time. Thus, he needed Lin Hongyi’s assistance.
Lin Hongyi said, "Compared to the favor you did me sending me the Blood Saber Demon General’s head, this is nothing. The Evil Saber has killed many of our Yuangang Hall disciples. He’s a dire enemy to us all in Yuangang Hall. I need to kill him sooner or later. Besides..."
"Aren’t we friends?"
Speaking, Lin Hongyi raised her fair wrist as the Phoenix Feather Bracelet shimmered enchantingly in the sunlight. This was the first gift she had received in her life, and Luo Feng was her first friend.
"True enough."
Luo Feng smiled faintly and said:
"Let’s seize this time to train. You have the Yuan Spirit Liquid. It’s just right; I know a cultivation method extremely beneficial to body refining martial artists. It might help you break through your realm."
