- Chapter 198 Condensed Swordsman Projection
At the auction venue, the auctioneer stood on the stage, and the guests who had followed him to the aisle returned to their seats one by one.
The middle-aged Taoist priest whose thigh was wounded by a soldier was tied up with a special alchemy rope and knelt beside the stage. Two guards behind him pressed a gun against the back of his head.
“I’m sorry to have frightened all of you distinguished guests,” the auctioneer stood in the center of the stage with an apologetic expression. “In order to compensate for the fright you have suffered, we will later present the seal of the ‘Iron Rose’ family and use the seal. Hui can order 1% of any property under the name of the ‘Iron Rose’ family in a transaction involving no more than US$500 million.”
“Iron Rose” is the “honorary title” of the family behind Sosby in the mixed-race world, or a self-proclaimed title that shows prestige and honor. The pattern embroidered on the curtain on the stage was the home of the Iron Rose family. emblem.
This 1% discount for any property under the name of the ‘Iron Rose’ family is not very big, but considering the number of guests present, the Iron Rose family is still bleeding a lot this time.
However, compared to compensation, the guests were more curious about what happened. Hundreds of pairs of bright golden eyes stared at the auctioneer on the stage, not hiding their curiosity and interest.
The auctioneer on the stage also spoke wisely: “We will definitely give you an explanation regarding this sudden accident!”
“According to our interrogation, he!” the auctioneer pointed at the middle-aged Taoist priest. “He is a mixed race from China. The purpose of coming here is to steal the precious Mogao Grottoes mural!”
The guests in the venue suddenly burst into an uproar, and hundreds of pairs of golden eyes began to flash, some of them showing panic and fear.
The guests put aside the elegance of gentlemen and ladies and whispered to each other in low voices.
“Chinese mixed-races? Haven’t they not been seen for a long time, and they have always been very mysterious?”
“No, no, no. Four years ago, a Chinese half-breed broke into Sotheby’s auction. Not only did he steal a precious item at the time, but he also massacred the people arranged by the Iron Rose family at Sotheby’s. The hybrid in charge of security, half of the auction hall was stained red with blood!”
“Really or not? To kill hundreds of elite members of the Iron Rose family by oneself, even a third-generation species may not be able to do it, right?”
“I can vouch for the truth, because I was there at the time, and I saw with my own eyes that Taoist priest waved his sleeves and knocked away an A-level hybrid who had released the word spirit and ghostsheng!”
“It’s so scary?! The hybrids that release Onisatsu can usually explode with six to eight times the usual power, right?! They were dropped like a bastard in seconds!”
“No, no, no, there is still a difference between him and the miscellaneous fish.”
“how do I say this?”
“The old Taoist priest knocked several of them away with one move. The A-level elite took one of his own moves and only knocked away one of them.”
“Are you sure you want to use the word ‘elite’ for this kind of person?”
…
The guests whispered, and after a few minutes, the venue gradually calmed down. Lu Mingfei sat in his seat and sneered as he watched the auctioneer perform on the stage.
“Mr. Campbell, are you sure he must be a mixed race from China?” In the guest room, the man in a white suit who had bid for the crystal mandala with Lu Mingfei asked, “I heard that the Chinese mixed race is mysterious and powerful. Will he be caught in uniform so easily?”
This young man still knew how to save face for Sotheby’s and the family behind it. When he questioned it, he did not directly tell the story about the bloodbath of a Chinese mixed race at the Sotheby’s auction in 2003.
“Dear Mr. Williams, you should understand that the Chinese mixed race is a huge group. There may be many powerful and intelligent elites in this group, but not everyone is an elite. What’s more, this time we don’t know how high the sky is. Chinese friends also chose Sotheby’s Auction House, which we are wary of Xenia.”
There were several uncontrollable laughs in the guest seats, full of ridicule, but the auctioneer Quan pretended not to hear them.
“Is it possible that he is actually a mixed race from Japan, Korea or other Asian countries, and he just wants to use China’s reputation to add a layer of protection to himself?”
Lu Mingfei also asked questions.
The auctioneer on the stage shook his head naturally: “This is also impossible. Our interrogation team has first-class language experts. We can confirm that he speaks Chinese very well, without the slightest trace of other languages mixed in.”
“With the ability of a mixed race, it is not impossible to achieve this,” Lu Mingfei shook his head, “Maybe he is a Korean who studies Chinese?”
Someone in the venue burst into laughter.
“But we don’t have any evidence that he is Korean. He didn’t bring kimchi and he didn’t speak Korean.”
the auctioneer said.
“How about taking off his pants and taking a look,” Lu Mingfei suggested.
The anger in the eyes of the middle-aged Taoist priest who was kneeling on the ground flashed away, but it was still keenly captured by Lu Mingfei.
“Hahahahaha, this gentleman is really humorous. It’s a pity that the evidence is conclusive that this Taoist priest is Chinese. Let’s reserve some dignity for our brave Taoist priest who lacks some strength.” The auctioneer waved his hand and the guard removed the Taoist priest. After setting it up and walking to the backstage, the auctioneer said, “If you are interested in this intruder, you can come to us to inquire about the situation privately. Now, let us continue the previous auction!”
“We just said that in addition to storing and releasing sunlight, the Sunstone is also more useful…”
The auctioneer on the stage had just restarted the interrupted introduction when a blurry shadow suddenly rushed onto the stage from the audience, followed by a bright silver light, and blood spurted out from the auctioneer’s shoulder.
The sudden change shocked everyone in the venue, including Lu Mingfei, who always felt that he had control of the overall situation.
Behind the auctioneer, a girl wearing a women’s black suit and women’s leather shoes was holding a glowing green dagger on the auctioneer’s neck. The edges of the new wound on the auctioneer’s shoulder were also dyed. Green, as if he had been poisoned by some kind of poison. The auctioneer was so weak that it was difficult to even stand. He simply used his other good arm to support the table in front of him.
“You guys! Stop!”
The girl’s willow-leaf-like eyebrows were raised, her phoenix eyes were evil, and she turned to scold the person who was about to escort the Taoist priest into the backstage. The blade of the dagger in her hand was pressed tightly against the skin of the auctioneer’s neck.
Several guards stopped and wanted to point their guns at the girl, but she was hidden behind the auctioneer and difficult to target.
“Guest, what are you…”
“Bah! Shut up!”
The auctioneer tried to communicate with the girl, but the girl just spat on the ground with disdain. If it weren’t for the angle, the spit would probably have hit the auctioneer’s face.
“Give us back the things of our ancestors! You despicable and shameless executioners and thieves!” The girl looked at the sun stone on the stand nearby. “You despicable thieves and robbers only steal other people’s things and take them. selling?”
“This guest, we are an auction house, and we are only entrusted by others to auction this item…”
“That’s right, of course your auction is just for the auction,” before the auctioneer finished, the girl sneered: “But it was the Iron Rose family behind your Sotheby’s auction that took away our heirlooms from us. ! You burned down our homes, dug up our ancestral lands, made our ancestors restless, and took away the treasures they passed down to us!”
There was an uproar in the audience. If what the girl said was true, then although no family would sanction the “Iron Rose” family for the sake of justice and peace, the Iron Rose family would inevitably be poked in the back by the mixed-race world in the future.
“Madam, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully. Don’t be impulsive. If you want anything, you might as well tell us directly…”
The auctioneer, whose life was in the girl’s hands at the moment, spoke extremely politely.
“Give us back our treasure and let him and I get away safely!”
The girl pointed with the index finger of her other hand at the middle-aged Taoist priest who was tied up with a special alchemy rope.
“And him? Are you together?”
The auctioneer was extremely confused.
“No, but we all have the same purpose, to recover the stolen treasures!”
The girl used the edge of the dagger to slightly cut open the skin of the auctioneer’s neck and threatened: “Let him go or not?!”
“Look! Let him go!”
The blade opened the skin, and the auctioneer’s feeling of weakness suddenly increased. It was indeed a poisoned weapon. He quickly ordered the guards to untie the alchemy rope from the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest who was untied seemed to be a little confused.
“Don’t be afraid. Although you and I are from different continents, we have similar goals…”
The girl wanted to comfort the Taoist priest, but the next second, the Taoist priest suddenly raised his hand in the direction of the girl and the auctioneer, and a low roaring sound suddenly spread!
The panic and fear in the auctioneer’s eyes were instantly submerged in the transparent shock wave. He was struck head-on by a merciless “Yin Thunder” and flew backwards, spurting out blood containing visceral fragments in the process. The chest deformed and collapsed deeply.
Because the girl behind him had a personal buffer, although she was also knocked away by the shock wave, her situation was much better than that of the auctioneer next to him who had less air in and more air out.
The only problem was that her dagger had been blown away in the process, and now it landed under the stage.
The Taoist priest who was kneeling on the ground and being pointed at a gun was now standing with one leg under pressure. The guards behind him followed his gestures and pointed their guns at the girl on the ground.
The girl on the stage clutched her chest, which was injured by the Yin Lei shock wave, and glared viciously at the Taoist priest and the guards behind him, her eyes like a wounded she-wolf.
Lu Mingfei in the audience raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the girl who was lying on the stage with her blood boiling, and silently sighed that she was still inexperienced – but he didn’t seem to have much experience himself.
Although the girl’s sudden intrusion disrupted his plan, Lu Mingfei was not ready to give up on his plan to take action – besides, he had never planned to take action himself from the beginning.
His consciousness communicated with the Heavenly Book, and a translucent figure emerged from the Heavenly Book, and then turned into a spiritual light invisible to the naked eye and flew out of his sea of consciousness and entered the treasure room where the Taoist priest had been.
The true energy in Lu Mingfei’s body was consumed rapidly like a flood.
At the same time, a figure in white appeared out of thin air in the treasure room in the center of the room, holding a black sheathed long sword upside down in his hand, with a dark golden cloud pattern on the scabbard.
