Demon Dragon Mad God

Furthermore, Hundred Treasure Pavilion has always been the most reputable trading house; it's highly unlikely they would do something so despicable!

Seeing that the crowd had quieted down slightly, Ming Yu pondered for a moment, her beautiful eyes scanning the four directions, her red lips slightly parted as she declared in a clear voice: "This sword is——a Spirit Sword!"

Upon Ming Yu's declaration, many were baffled and wore puzzled expressions.

Spirit Sword? What Spirit Sword?

Lin Feng was also filled with confusion; this was the first time he had heard of a Spirit Sword.

Typically, swords are categorized by clear grades. For instance, higher-grade swords are collectively called treasure swords. Those of Level Six and above are referred to as Divine Weapons, such as King's Divine Weapons, Emperor's Divine Weapons!

However, this was Lin Feng's first time hearing the term Spirit Sword.

While many did not understand, a very small number of well-informed individuals changed their expressions drastically after hearing this.

"Spirit Sword? How is that possible?" Someone exclaimed in shock.

"Is this... real or fake?"

"It can't be possible, right?"

Some people who knew of the Spirit Sword were astonished and disbelieving.

This only increased the curiosity of those who did not know what a Spirit Sword was.

"Qingxuan, Sister Huang, do you know what a Spirit Sword is?" Lin Feng asked Hong Qingxuan and the other female.

"We have never heard of it!" Both women also shook their heads.

Lin Feng was even more surprised; both women were disciples of the Heavenly Spirit Sect and were fairly knowledgeable, yet they had never heard of the Spirit Sword.

However, looking at the shocked expressions of many in the auction house, it was clear that this Spirit Sword was no trivial matter.

At this moment, Ming Yu's voice once again rose from the auction stage.

"Perhaps many have not heard of the Spirit Sword, but if I use another name, you all might understand— the Spirit Sword is also a Flying Sword, soaring and diving, unpredictable, taking the enemy's head from thousands of miles away!"

Hiss!

Upon hearing this, everyone's heart trembled with shock. They may not have heard of Spirit Swords, but Flying Swords were universally known, a divine art from ancient legends!

Lin Feng's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Flying Sword! Flying Sword!

Could this be the kind of Flying Sword seen in previous life's fantasy movies, directed by thought, killing from a thousand miles unseen.

Lin Feng was inwardly shaken; if this were truly that kind of Flying Sword, it would be astonishing!

On the auction stage, Ming Yu's lips curved into a light smile as she said, "The Spirit Sword is a treasure that exists in ancient legends, so precious it's hard to imagine. Although this Spirit Sword is broken, it can still be utilized."

"According to the appraisal of Hundred Treasure Pavilion's appraisers, this Spirit Sword should be at Level Seven or above. However, since the sword is broken and its Sword Spirit has dissipated, its current power is not quite as strong as a Level Six Low Grade King's Divine Weapon, but it is still slightly more powerful than a Level Five Upper Grade treasure sword."

"Therefore, the starting price for this sword is five million Middle Grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increase no less than three hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones!"

After Ming Yu finished speaking, the entire auction hall fell silent, as if plunged into a deathly stillness.

Everyone was stunned!

A starting price of five million Middle Grade Spirit Stones, that was simply terrifying!

Normally, the auction for a Level Six Low Grade King's Divine Weapon would start at just over two million Middle Grade Spirit Stones, yet the starting price for this Spirit Sword was more than double that of a Level Six Low Grade King's Divine Weapon.

And that was just the starting price; who knows what astronomical price it might fetch by the end of the auction!

Almost no one among the Heavenly Martial Masters and Martial Artists present had the means to bid on this item, and even average Martial King Realm Strong People couldn't afford this treasure.

"Five million five hundred thousand!"

After a brief pause, a bid was finally placed, coming from a distinguished guest in an exclusive 'Heaven' VIP room, a Martial King Realm strong person.

Afterwards, those Martial King Realm Strong People who hadn't made much of a move before began to bid.

"Five million eight hundred thousand!"

"Six million two hundred thousand!"

"Six million five hundred thousand!"

"..."

"Eight million!"

Almost instantaneously, the price soared to eight million, once again leaving everyone dumbfounded.

This kind of price is simply unimaginable for Heavenly Martial Masters, and even the average Martial Kings cannot afford it.

At this moment, the eyes of many Martial Kings present in the auction turned red; they were willing to sell their own weapons and martial arts, anything to get their hands on that Spirit Sword.

In Private Room No. 10 for 'Heavenly Mortals', Xue Tianhao's gaze was fiery as he stared intently at the Spirit Sword on the tray held by Ming Yu; his breathing became extremely heavy.

"The Hundred Treasure Pavilion's auction actually has such a treasured item!"

Xue Tianhao's face was filled with excitement, then he immediately turned his head towards Tao Wei and said anxiously, "Brother Tao, quick, send a Communication Talisman to my father, ask him to send Spirit Stones, send ten million Middle Grade Spirit Stones! No, twenty million Middle Grade Spirit Stones!"

Upon hearing this, Tao Wei's eyes flashed, and he nodded immediately, "Alright, you continue bidding, I will send the message!"

After that, Tao Wei immediately took out a Communication Talisman and began to send the message.

In truth, Tao Wei was also incredibly tempted by the Spirit Sword, but since Xue Tianhao had his sights on it, he could only reluctantly give up. He was just a Disciple of the Golden Shark King, while Xue Tianhao was the Golden Shark King's son.

In the private room where Lin Feng was, his expression became immensely solemn, his mind racing as he contemplated whether to bid for the Spirit Sword.

It was impossible to say that Lin Feng wasn't tempted by the Spirit Sword; there wasn't a Martial Artist below the Martial King Realm that wouldn't be.

However, the amount of Spirit Stones needed to win the auction for this Spirit Sword would probably be astronomical.

If he could win the auction for this Spirit Sword, he feared he might have to sell several of his King Martial Arts.

Moreover, doing so would expose his financial resources to everyone, easily inciting covetous thoughts in others. Also, possessing such a treasured Spirit Sword would make him a target for others.

But, if Lin Feng were to give up on the Spirit Sword, he would not be willing either. If he missed this killing tool today, he feared he might never get another chance!

This Spirit Sword could be used as an ace up his sleeve, useful all the way to the Martial King Realm, and perhaps, through this Spirit Sword, he might discover the mysteries of this kind of Flying Sword.

At this moment, Lin Feng couldn't help but secretly think, the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, as a dominant force of the Heavenly Vault Continent in ancient times, should have such Spirit Swords, right?

However, the Thick Earth Palace Master had told him to return to the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace after reaching the Martial King Realm, so he couldn't go back now.

As thoughts raced through his mind, in a split second, Lin Feng made up his mind!

He'd do it!

Even if it meant paying a great price, he was determined to get this Spirit Sword.

At this point outside, the bidding was still going on, with the price for the Spirit Sword reaching a terrifying nine million Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

By then, there were not many people left in the bidding, just a handful of about ten or so.

"Ten million!" Lin Feng made his bid, raising the price by one million Middle Grade Spirit Stones in one go.

The entire auction house quietened down a bit, and everyone was shocked.

Ten million! This price was already astronomically high!

Hong Qingxuan and Huang Yao, both shocked by Lin Feng's sudden high bid, had some interest in the Spirit Sword as well, but they were unable to bid.

"Ten million thirty thousand!"

"Ten million eighty thousand!"

"Twelve million!" Lin Feng continued bidding, this time raising the price by one hundred and twenty million.

The entire auction house quieted down again, as many bidding Martial Kings could no longer afford the price. Even if they were unwilling, they were helpless.

"Twelve million, thirty thousand!" A while later, a somewhat elderly voice came from the top-level Private Room No. 2 for 'Heavenly Mortals'.

"Twelve million sixty thousand!" Following that, a voice as gentle as water rang out; this voice also came from a 'Heavenly Mortals' private room, specifically Private Room No. 1, where a young woman could be discerned by her voice.

Apart from these two, no one else was bidding!

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then declared: "Twelve million ninety thousand!"

Since most people were already eliminated from the bidding, Lin Feng didn't need to raise the price aggressively anymore.

In Private Room No. 2 for 'Heavenly Mortals', a gaunt-faced elderly man in grey sat; although he had a furrowed brow, he still persisted with his bid, "Thirteen million twenty thousand!"

"Thirteen million fifty thousand!" After the old man's bid, the woman in Private Room No. 1 continued to bid.

From the current situation, the final owner of the Spirit Sword would emerge among the three of them.

"Good heavens! What incredible prices! Who are these people, to be so wealthy?"
