Dragon Martial Sword Supreme

That demon beast was an ape-like demon beast with a massive body, standing over ten feet tall.

It had bright green, shiny fur, bulging muscles, a green face with fang-like teeth, and a fearsome appearance. Its hands bore long, iron-black, sharp claws.

Most notably, its eyes were pitch black, void of any whites, devoid of any spirit; deep within them, faint flashes of lightning could be seen.

"This is not a demon beast, it's a Corpse Ape."

After closely inspecting it for a moment, Zhao Letian couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

The so-called Corpse Ape is a type of zombie. The one on the platform had surpassed the black and white zombies, reaching the status of a Green Zombie, harboring deadly poison and formidable strength.

"It seems our esteemed guests have already noticed, this Corpse Ape is a zombie artificially refined. Its original form is called the Purple Lightning Thunder Ape, which was a powerful demon beast of the Sect Martial Realm before its death. After its death, it was refined into a zombie and possesses immense strength, impervious to swords and spears. Moreover, it has retained most of its Divine Skills from its life. Most importantly, although it currently only has the cultivation of the Middle Stage Sect Martial Realm, it has unlimited potential for growth in the future. Without further ado, the base price for this Green-Haired Corpse Ape is ten thousand High Grade Essence Stones, with each increment no less than a thousand High Grade Essence Stones. Let's begin."

On the platform, the elder hosting the auction gave a brief introduction and then announced the start of the bidding.

Since such zombies are not rare, everyone was well-acquainted with its abilities, and there was no need for further elaboration.

"Sounds good, though this zombie indeed has unlimited cultivation potential, it still needs to be feasible to cultivate."

"Exactly, the evolution of this type of zombie is too slow; it requires absorbing endless Yin Qi Ghost Objects to gradually advance. Moreover, the higher the level it reaches, the more difficult it becomes to cultivate. It might even be better to cultivate a Spiritual Beast instead."

"The evolution of zombies is naturally defying nature, so it's normal for it to be slow. This Corpse Ape has already reached the status of a Green Zombie, which is quite rare. Ten thousand High Grade Essence Stones as a base price is absolutely worth it."

People discussed among themselves, but no one was quick to speak up.

Although everyone knew the great power of such zombies, few people possessed the patience and strength to actually cultivate such creatures, and thus, there weren't many who were genuinely interested.

"Eleven thousand!"

"Twelve thousand!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

...

Though not many people were bidding, the auction was not lacking in activity, and the price kept climbing.

"Eighteen thousand, this Corpse Ape is worth no more than this. Everyone, don't compete with me."

One Martial Artist said calmly from the first floor, his tone sounding slightly pained as if he already regretted bidding eighteen thousand for the Corpse Ape.

"What a joke, this is a Purple Lightning Thunder Ape, which already far surpasses other demon beasts of the same realm in strength. After being refined into a zombie, its power is even more formidable. Even if not highly valued, it should at least exceed twenty thousand High Grade Essence Stones. I bid twenty thousand!"

Another person scoffed disdainfully.

As soon as this person finished speaking, many others stopped following the bids.

Twenty thousand High Grade Essence Stones had already exceeded their estimated limit.

"Thirty thousand!"

Just then, from a private room on the second floor, a young man's voice rang out.

That voice was not Zhao Letian's, although he was also about to speak, the other party had preempted him by declaring the price he was about to bid.

"Thirty-one thousand."

Zhao Letian frowned slightly and spoke calmly.

The incident where he was ambushed made him realize that he needed to enhance his own strength.

Originally, he thought that having the Snow Wolf pack would be enough to ensure his safety, but unexpectedly, those people sent a Middle Stage Sect Martial Realm expert to kill him, so he also needed to have martial power of the Middle Stage Sect Martial Realm or higher around him.

However, now that someone else from the private rooms on the second floor had made a move, acquiring this Corpse Ape might not be that easy.

"Thirty-five thousand!"

Not far from him, the young man's voice rose again.

"Thirty-six thousand."

Zhao Letian continued to bid.

This Corpse Ape, he was determined to have it.

He didn't care whether the Corpse Ape was easy to cultivate later; he just needed its current combat power.

"Forty thousand!"

The young man's voice finally seemed somewhat impatient.

"Forty thousand one."

Zhao Letian remained calm and unhurried.

Although those who could sit in the private rooms on the second floor were no ordinary figures, when it came to bidding with Primordial Stones, he feared no one.

"Friend, I am from the Song Family; may I ask you to give face and let me have this Corpse Ape?"

The young man's voice was slightly cold, but he still maintained restraint and did not explode.

"Hiss! A person from the Song Family?"

"Which Song Family? Could it be the Queen's family?"

"Besides them, who else in the Royal Capital dares to claim to be from the Song Family?"

"It looks like there's no hope now. That youngster is definitely going to give up; after all, who dares not to give face to someone from the Song Family?"

The crowd on the scene discussed in whispers.

In their view, since a member of the Song Family had revealed his identity, Zhao Letian, who was bidding against the Song Family, would surely not dare to continue, unless he did not wish to leave the Royal Capital alive.

"Continue bidding if you wish to bid; otherwise, keep your mouth shut."

Zhao Letian said indifferently, showing no respect whatsoever.

Song Family? If the other party hadn't mentioned this family, he might have been a bit more polite. But upon mentioning this family, he was even less likely to give in, especially since they were his enemies.

"Hiss!"

Hearing this, the crowd sucked in a breath of cold air.

The courage of someone who dared to scold the Song Family was impressive.

"How dare you insult me? Do you know who I am? I am the second young master of the Song Family, Song Ziming!"

The young man's voice was filled with disbelief and strong anger as he fully revealed his identity.

"My goodness, it's the Song Family's second young master; his aunt was the former Queen, and his cousin is the current Crown Prince."

"That youngster is finished, daring to offend Song Ziming is simply seeking death."

"Now he must compromise. But since Song Ziming has completely revealed his identity, it's too late for that youngster to withdraw."

The crowd became noisy again.

"Does who you are really matter? I'll say it again, if you're not bidding, then shut up."

Zhao Letian said coldly.

"You… very well, I'll let you have this Corpse Ape, and I hope you can leave the Royal Capital alive!"

Overcome by fury, Song Ziming spoke coldly and then left the auction venue promptly.

"Is anyone else bidding? If not, let's announce the result."

Zhao Letian completely ignored Song Ziming's threat and spoke indifferently.

Seeing that Song Ziming had been driven away by Zhao Letian, naturally, no one else dared to make an offer.

Thus, in the end, the Mid-stage Sect Martial Realm Corpse Ape was bought by Zhao Letian.

However, after purchasing the Corpse Ape, he was in no rush to leave; after all, the auction for his Life Extension Pill had not yet begun.
