Chapter 0860: Zhao Jingyu

When Li Fengyi's cold voice rang out, Li Luo stared at the leader of the group of men too. He was a tall young man dressed in black, with scarlet tiger stripes tattooed over half of his face. When he grinned, his white teeth gave off a ferocious look as if he was a savage wild beast.

This guy was the Tiger Division's leader from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao, Zhao Jingyu?

No one had thought that they would encounter each other here.

When he heard Li Fengyi's words, his face grew vicious as he stared at her, and he said with a sinister smile, "What's the matter? Only you, Li Fengyi, can bid? I can't? Has the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li stopped paying their members?"

Afterwards, he turned towards Liang Xiong at the side and said, "Hall Master Liang Xiong, are you saying I can't bid for anything here?"

Hearing this, Liang Xiong replied with an embarra.s.sed face, "Of course you can. Dark Cloud Square has always been an auction ground for trades and business. Anyone is welcome to make a bid."

As a member of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao, Zhao Jingyu was not someone Liang Xiong would dare to offend.

Zhao Jingyu laughed in response and then turned his gaze towards Li Luo, who was standing at the side without speaking a single word all this while. He told Li Luo, "I heard that there is a country b.u.mpkin from an outer divine continent that has just returned to the Dragon's Fang Lineage. Is that you?"

His unreasonable and domineering temperament was fully revealed through his words.

"I heard that a wood-brained idiot from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao wants my arm. Could it be you?" Li Luo replied with a light smile.

Zhao Jingyu's face turned ugly immediately. With eyes like those of a wild beast, he glared at Li Luo and said, "Country b.u.mpkin, do you want to die?"

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Fengyi's brows stood on end and the resonant power in her body surged up. At the next moment, a spear emitting a rainbow gradient flew out of her hand in a flash towards Zhao Jingyu directly.

But Zhao Jingyu was unfazed by Li Fengyi's attack. He waved his hand and signaled to the Dukes at his side that there was no need for them to make a move. Following this, he clenched his fingers and punched out.

Roar!

A fist of light flew out with the roar of a tiger. It was ferocious like the claws of a giant tiger, and it clashed head-on with the spear.

The energy from the two attacks exploded upon collision. However, it was kept within a small area as the Dukes from both sides contained the damage.

Clearly, Zhao Jingyu had the upper hand when the two clashed. He had barely moved from his original position, while Li Fengyi's delicate body was trembling and she had taken half a step back. Her expression turned even colder.

"I seek your kind understanding, my two distinguished guests. Please do not fight here," Liang Xiong said with a bitter face at this moment. If it were other Earth Fiend small fries, he would have sent them flying out of this place straight away. However, he dared not offend Zhao Jingyu and Li Fengyi.

Besides, a clash between these two was not an issue. He was afraid the Dukes that were with them would get dragged into the fighting as well. The damages and consequences would be unimaginable then.

Zhao Jingyu grinned and said, "You are still so unruly, Li Fengyi. Getting violent at the slightest disagreement. Are you the only one that can bid for anything in this world? Others cannot outbid you?"

At this point, Li Fengyi's eyes were ice-cold. "I'll pay five million skygold for each," she said as she looked at the auctioneer.

The guy was overjoyed when he heard this, and he shouted, "Okay!"

"Then I will pay six million skygold for each," Zhao Jingyu said with a smile.

Li Fengyi was about to shout another offer before Li Luo stopped her and said, "Second Sister, there is no need to get too emotional over this. This is the price of a fool. Although our family business is huge and rich, there's no need to waste it and compete with this wastrel.

"At six million skygold each, it'll cost a total of thirty million skygold for five. Even if we're lucky enough to get a drop of Dragon Fang Essence from them, we'd only break even. This is not worth it anymore."

Li Fengyi did not want to listen to any reasoning at first, but she was ultimately convinced by Li Luo's sly words. Her anger died down a little, then she told Zhao Jingyu sarcastically, "Fool, I'll give it to you if you want it so much."

Zhao Jingyu was extremely disappointed when he saw this. He took another glare at Li Luo and said, "You really get on my nerves."

Hearing this, Li Luo shrugged and replied, "Come and bite me, then."

Zhao Jingyu simply grinned and responded, "No hurries, there'll be a chance. So many people have died in the Dark Domain over the years that it's nothing out of the ordinary anymore. When that time comes, there's nothing that the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li will be able to do about it. After all, so many people from both sides have died of unknown causes over the years."

In response, Li Luo answered, "In that case, won't I earn five dragon fangs for free?"

Zhao Jingyu was startled for a moment before his eyes became darker and fiercer. What Li Luo meant was that the five dragon fangs Zhao Jingyu had just bought would be taken by this country b.u.mpkin after he died.

"If you really want these five dragon fangs, it's simple. Just lower your head and apologize to Lady Qin Yi now and I'll let you have them," Zhao Jingyu said sarcastically.

Li Luo shook his head and turned down the offer. "No hurry, we can leave them with you for a little longer."

At this moment, Zhao Jingyu laughed angrily as he stared ferociously at Li Luo. "Even Li Qingfeng doesn't dare to speak to me in this manner. Who do you think you are?"

Li Luo simply replied, "Could it be that he simply didn't want to talk nonsense with you?"

Hearing this, Li Fengyi could not help but snort in amus.e.m.e.nt. Li Luo's way with words was truly masterful.

Zhao Jingyu must have been fuming with anger after hearing Li Luo's taunt. However, he did not lose control of himself. He simply grinned and stared at Li Luo for a moment. Next, he waved his hand and completed the dragon fang auction before walking off with his guys without muttering another word.

"Zhao Jingyu is known for being vengeful and ruthless. With your provocations, there will surely be a fight to the death waiting for you in the Dark Domain," Deng Fengxian said from the side.

Anyone could tell that Zhao Jingyu had not admitted defeat in the end. He simply put his murderous intent and thoughts of revenge in his heart.

"That guy is insane. It is said that he never, ever holds back when he fights. He's extremely cruel, and even his peers from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao have been seriously injured by him during compet.i.tions," Li Fengyi said.

"Don't worry. We have the Undefeated Venerable. No matter how crazy Zhao Jingyu gets, we will not be defeated," Li Luo said with a slap on Li Jingtao's back.

"Huh?" Li Jingtao said with a fl.u.s.tered face when he heard this.

Li Fengyi rolled her eyes at him.

Li Luo laughed in response as he continued, "I saw three young guys following Zhao Jingyu earlier. Those should be the other three division leaders. In that case, they should have four division leaders entering the Dark Domain as well, right?"

Li Luo turned to Li Feng. "Will there be other Dukes from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao coming along with them?"

Li Feng shook his head and explained, "Although we have many disputes with the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao, we're both huge and respectable forces of power. There are some unspoken rules between us to ensure that things don't get too ugly between both sides. Amongst them, one of the most obvious rules is not to fight across generations. As such, their Dukes will not attack our younger generation under ordinary circ.u.mstances."

Hearing this, Li Luo nodded. This was good. There was nothing for his side to be afraid of if their only enemies were the four division leaders from the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Zhao.

"Let's get moving too."

Li Luo had lost interest in the Dark Cloud Conclave after the dragon fangs were intercepted. After a discussion with everyone, he said goodbye to Hall Master Liang Xiong, boarded the Dragon Vessel, and headed straight out into the distance.

This went on for about ten minutes.

As Li Luo stood on the vessel, he squinted and looked at the land far ahead. He could spot some black stone pillars rising from the ground. Many ancient and obscure runes were engraved on them. The worldly natural energy in the area was constantly gathering and flowing into the stone pillars.

There was a long stone ladder in the center of the countless pillars. It extended upwards and ended at a very high platform.

Traces of tears in the void were seen around the platform. Most glaringly, there was a black crack that was several meters in length floating in the air, looking like a huge gate leading to h.e.l.l.

From time to time, shadows of people were seen pa.s.sing by the huge gates.

When Li Luo looked at the black crack, he knew what it was in his heart immediately. This was where they were headed to.

The Dark Domain of the Western Region.
