Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 745: The Crushing Mantra
The auction continued.
However, Qinchuan and his companions had already left early, their mid-way departure observed by the emperors in the various private rooms above.
"Brother Yun, what do you think? Do you have any ideas?"
Inside room number one, a young man holding a folding fan, looking graceful and suave, spoke.
"That banner he carried seems to be an item of Tianji Sect!"
Yun Huan fixed his gaze on the departing figure of Qinchuan and suddenly said.
At the moment when Qinchuan pulled out the purple banner, Yun Huan found it very familiar, and at last, he remembered.
It was indeed the Heavenly Mystery Banner of the disciples of the Tianji Sect.
This Heavenly Mystery Banner held a place in the hearts of the Tianji Sect's disciples as a sword did in the hands of a sword cultivator, never leaving their side.
Now that Qinchuan suddenly produced a divine banner, what did that imply?
"Could it be that he has killed a disciple of Tianji Sect?"
Su Xi exclaimed in shock.
The Tianji Sect wielded enormous power in the Upper Realm, and few dared to provoke them.
"We came from the Lower Realm to avoid the probing of the Heavenly Dao. It's best to carry as few Divine Artifacts and Heavenly Treasures Materials as possible. Yet, this guy produced over a hundred Divine Artifacts. Do you think he brought them from the Upper Realm?"
"You mean to say that he acquired these Divine Artifacts by slaying over a hundred disciples from the Upper Realm?" Su Xi was stunned for a moment, then realized, "That's right, it must be so. Otherwise, there's no other explanation for the multitude of Divine Artifacts he possesses!"
To have slain over a hundred Upper Realm cultivators, including disciples of Tianji Sect!
Who exactly was he?
Originally.
Qinchuan's acquisition of the Mysterious Ice Immortal Vine had sparked some other thoughts in him.
But now, reminded by Yun Huan, he suddenly became enlightened.
"This guy should not be rashly provoked."
It wasn't just Yun Huan and Su Xi who came to their senses; the remaining cultivators who came from the Upper Realm in the private rooms above also realized that this Qinchuan might be a killing god.
"That is the Mysterious Ice Immortal Vine. If we can take it back to the Upper Realm, we could make a fortune!"
Although it was clear that Qinchuan should not be provoked lightly, Su Xi still felt somewhat unwilling to let it go.
"No need to hurry; someone has already taken up the task to probe this guy's details." Yun Huan stood by the window, watching as Young Master Ming Qi, the little princess, and the others headed toward the outside of the auction house.
Afterward, he spoke indifferently, "Let's follow and see!"
The display of over a hundred Divine Artifacts by Qinchuan indeed had a deterrent effect, but it wasn't enough to scare them from daring to take a closer look as they followed from afar.
Soon, not just the Upper Realm Envoys but also the emperors from the Lower Realm began to leave the scene silently.
The grand auction suddenly became much less crowded.
Because the auction was taking place, the streets were already deserted.
Qinchuan and his group were not in a hurry to leave the city, leisurely making their way towards the city's outskirts.
As for Young Master Ming Qi, the little princess, and their entourage following behind, Qinchuan was fully aware.
However, Ming Qi and the others were not the real threat.
The real threat came from the several dozen emperor-level powerhouses following behind Ming Qi and the others.
These emperors, although temporarily deterred by the hundred Divine Artifacts, were all waiting for Ming Qi and his group to make a move.
If the strength displayed by Qinchuan and his companions showed any discrepancy from their expectations, that group of greedy emperors would certainly launch an attack without hesitation.
"Kaitian, I will transmit to you an Ancient Times spell for controlling Magical Treasures!" Qinchuan said leisurely.
To intimidate this group of emperors, the quickest and most overpowering method was needed to suppress Ming Qi and his companions swiftly and so quickly that they wouldn't be able to determine Li Kaitian's true strength.
In secret, Qinchuan transmitted his voice and imparted to Li Kaitian the Destruction Word Decree.
This Destruction Word Decree was not much different from the Imperial Decree Technique and could likewise be used to control and activate Divine Artifacts.
Although it wasn't as powerful as the Imperial Decree Technique, under the element of surprise, it was still no problem to instantly take down a little ant like Ming Qi.
Moreover, the advantage of this technique lay in its simple cultivation; after mastering the spell, one could directly activate it.
...
Qinchuan and others stepped out of the city gate, and their stature returned to its original form.
Indeed, just as Qinchuan and his group left the city, the void cracked open, and several figures emerged from the crevices of space.
"Hehe, you brat, where do you think you're running to?"
It was none other than Young Master Ming Qi, the little princess of the Spirit Clan, and several annoying followers tagging along behind them.
"Hmph, you've calculated quite well, trying to sneak away halfway through the auction. Too bad you can't fool this princess," the Spirit Clan's little princess said arrogantly, with spiritual energy surging out and a pair of wings condensing behind her.
"Run?" Qinchuan sneered contemptuously, "Who said this young master was running away? I have already obtained the Heavenly Treasures Materials that I wanted. The rest are nothing but a bunch of miscellaneous weeds and waste fruits. This young master simply didn't want to waste time here."
Ji Huo'er also pointed at their noses in retort, "Exactly, exactly, are you brainless? If we wanted to run, how could we let you tiny dwarfs catch up with us!"
The Spirit Clan was merely a foot tall with indeed short stature, and the Yin Clan wasn't much better, with adult males being only three feet tall, much shorter than Ji Huo'er.
Ji Huo'er's dwarf insult had encompassed everyone.
This ignited a surge of anger in the group instantaneously.
"Humph, you dare to spout nonsense when death is at your doorstep." free𝑤ebnovel.com
A young man next to Young Master Ming Qi barked with anger, ready to take action.
But at the crucial moment, Young Master Ming Qi unexpectedly stopped him.
"Leave this boy to me personally!"
"Boy, hand over the Divine Artifact on your body and the Supreme Treasure you just bid for, and I will grant you a swift end! Otherwise, I'll let you taste one hundred and eight of our Spirit Clan's soul tortures!" Ming Qi said with a grim face and a menacing gaze.
"Are you sure you want to block my path?" Qinchuan stood still, utterly calm, "If you leave now, this young master might spare you the offence of defying me, out of respect for that old man Ming Yin. But if you insist on attacking me, you'd better consider the consequences carefully."
"How dare you insult our clan's Great Emperor!"
Ming Yin was a genius of the Yin Clan who ascended to the Upper Realm sixty thousand years ago.
Mentioning him did not make Ming Qi back down; instead, it angered him even more.
"Die!"
Ming Qi could no longer hold back and launched an attack thunderously.
In the palm of his hand, a surge of malevolent energy burst forth, and a gloomy fog emerged, dyeing the entire sky gray.
In an instant, within the gray fog, the phantom silhouettes of Yin spirits and wraiths appeared, terrifying to behold.
In the void, the crackling sounds of explosions and thunderclaps signified an outbreak of terrifying phenomena.
When a Great Emperor was enraged, heaven and earth shook.
With one move, he enveloped Qinchuan and the other three.
"How can the light of a rice grain dare compete with the bright moon!"
Li Kaitian finally broke his silence, snorting coldly.
As the spell chants moved in his mouth, he unleashed the Destruction Word Decree.
Three Divine Swords suddenly appeared above Li Kaitian's head, like a streak of light, slashing furiously towards the opponent.
The next moment.
"Pfft!"
A light sound of flesh being pierced was heard, Ming Qi's head soared into the sky, blood gushing out, an appalling sight.
Li Kaitian's first use of the Destruction Word Decree demonstrated his unparalleled power.
The arrogant and tyrannical Ming Qi was instantaneously beheaded by Li Kaitian, his True Spirit sucked into the Reincarnation Land, and he perished on the spot.
