NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1001: Ambush
Nie Yuan was not afraid of the Slaughter Blood King deceiving him, after all, he could send people to check on what the other party described.
"Mr. Yuan, rest assured, I won't risk my own life. If you find that the opponent's cultivation is not at the early stage of star condensing, you can just leave!"
The Slaughter Blood King continued.
Nie Yuan almost let down his guard.
He didn't believe the Slaughter Blood King dared to harm him within Chaotic Sea City.
"Kill that person, the Golden Mountain Tower is mine, and I also want thirty percent of the treasures he holds."
Nie Yuan declared with great greed.
Previously, he witnessed Chen Yu's rampant resource plundering. According to the Slaughter Blood King, the Primordial Stones Chen Yu used to auction these treasures were all obtained from here, yet Nie Yuan still wanted a share.
The Slaughter Blood King hesitated for a moment.
He didn't expect Nie Yuan to be so greedy, demanding not only the Golden Mountain Tower but also thirty percent of the other spoils.
After careful consideration, the Slaughter Blood King still agreed.
The reason he cooperated with Nie Yuan wasn't because of Nie Yuan's own strength, but because of his background.
Even if trouble arose later, being tied to Nie Yuan would be safer.
"It's a deal."
The Slaughter Blood King readily agreed.
"Pleasure doing business."
Nie Yuan revealed a sinister smile.
He also didn't expect that the person in the number six VIP pavilion was merely at the early stage of star condensing.
This was truly a pleasant surprise.
Soon enough, he could acquire the Golden Mountain Tower without spending a single Primordial Stone, along with some other treasures.
...
"Guest, here are the items you won in the auction."
A maid approached, holding a tray with a two-foot-tall golden tower on it.
After placing the items down, she glanced at Chen Yu.
There were so many powerful contenders for the Golden Mountain Tower, yet Chen Yu had overwhelmingly outbid them all, including Nie Yuan from the City Lord Mansion.
Unfortunately, this guest wore a pitch-black mask, obscuring his appearance.
After the maid left.
Chen Yu waved his hand, and the Golden Mountain Tower flew over.
As he slowly infused it with primal force, Chen Yu could feel the weight of the Golden Mountain Tower multiplying, emitting an ancient brilliance with an invisible gravitational force spreading out.
Chen Yu immediately retracted his hand.
If he continued to activate the Golden Mountain Tower, the pavilion would surely be destroyed.
"Not bad quality!"
Chen Yu observed for a while and nodded in satisfaction.
The refining material of the Golden Mountain Tower was of very high quality. Before it was damaged, it might have been a High Grade Profound Artifact.
Then.
His Spiritual Sense entered the internal space of the Golden Mountain Tower.
Chen Yu felt as if he had really entered an ancient giant tower, surrounded by vast silence, with nothing inside.
After touring the internal space of the Golden Mountain Tower, he didn't find any issues.
"This could be used as a storage space, aside from that, it could become a mobile cave dwelling."
Chen Yu concluded.
However, using the Golden Mountain Tower as storage space felt a bit insecure; after all, who uses storage space to hit people?
As a mobile cave dwelling, the interior of the Golden Mountain Tower surely couldn't compare to a genuine cultivation cave.
So, in Chen Yu's opinion, the internal space of the Golden Mountain Tower was somewhat superfluous and seemed useless.
Other aspects could only be discerned after refining it.
"The upcoming auction doesn't have the items I need."
Chen Yu glanced at the list.
With a swish!
His figure suddenly disappeared, merging into the space, as he walked out of the pavilion, leaving the Lingfeng Auction House.
Chen Yu knew he had made many enemies by flaunting his wealth this time, which could attract unwelcome attention.
So, he left early.
After returning to the guest room at the inn.
Chen Yu took out the Golden Mountain Tower again to refine this Intermediate Grade Profound Artifact.
After refining, the Golden Mountain Tower could serve as one of his trump cards.
Time passed.
While refining the Golden Mountain Tower, Chen Yu suddenly sensed something amiss.
With a sweep of his Spiritual Sense, everything seemed normal at the inn, with nothing out of place.
But Chen Yu always had a sense that something wasn't right.
"There's something wrong."
Chen Yu didn't act rashly and continued refining the profound artifact.
Suddenly.
Swoosh!
A sharp and domineering dark gold sword light flashed sharply.
Chen Yu's eyes abruptly widened, and he retreated.
In the next moment.
Crack!
The entire inn split in two, with an incredibly neat cut.
Besides Chen Yu, there was no one else left in the inn, unknown when it happened.
"Oh? You actually dodged this young master's sword."
A surprised sound came from outside.
Chen Yu saw four figures outside the split inn.
One was a man wearing a black-gold robe, with flowing long hair and an extraordinary handsome appearance, wielding a golden sword.
This man had cultivation at the early-stage Condensed Star Realm Peak, and the sword that split the inn was unleashed by him.
The other three wore cloaks and masks, with two at the early stage of star condensing and one at the Mid-stage Star Condensation Realm.
Chen Yu looked around; everything seemed normal, as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
But the problem was significant.
With four people surrounding him now, and the entire inn split in two, the lack of any abnormalities in the surrounding scenery was in itself unusual.
"Isn't it strange why we dare to make a move in Chaotic Sea City, why no one around notices, why..."
The man in the blood-red cloak laughed triumphantly.
But before he could finish, Chen Yu interrupted him, "Why do you talk so much nonsense?"
"You..."
The man in the blood-red cloak couldn't finish his sentence and felt uneasy after being mocked by Chen Yu.
"Don't think that wearing a cloak, I won't recognize you, Slaughter Blood King."
Chen Yu said calmly.
"Hehe, you've recognized me again? I'm quite curious, how did you discover it?"
The Slaughter Blood King uncovered the blood-red cloak, revealing a ghastly face with blood-red eyes glinting with a bloodthirsty light.
This was also Chen Yu's first time seeing the true face of the Slaughter Blood King.
"To find you in such a short time, who else could it be but you?"
Chen Yu smiled faintly and took out a golden token, throwing it on the ground, "You must have found me based on this token, right?"
"You actually know?"
The Slaughter Blood King showed a look of surprise.
Chen Yu had only just thought of it.
The Slaughter Blood King attacked the Black Dragon Auction House. Although he failed, he should have hidden his identity to avoid retaliation.
But the Slaughter Blood King appeared at the Lingfeng Auction House and accurately judged Chen Yu's identity, deliberately raising the bid.
There's only one explanation.
The Slaughter Blood King is in cahoots with the Lingfeng Auction House.
Since that's the case, the Lingfeng Auction House surely doesn't favor Chen Yu either, so giving him the identity of a VIP with a gold token is very suspicious.
And now, the Slaughter Blood King found him so quickly and accurately determined Chen Yu's location, this can only mean they have a way to track Chen Yu.
It's not hard to guess that the gold token from the Lingfeng Auction House is used for tracking.
"Since you know, you still dare to carry the token with you?"
The Slaughter Blood King was shocked, is Chen Yu looking for death? Or does he have something to rely on?
"If I didn't carry it with me, how would you come to deliver yourself? I feared you might not find the way."
Chen Yu mocked with a laugh.
"You're courting death!"
The Slaughter Blood King was instantly furious, being humiliated by Chen Yu again.
Nie Yuan saw the Slaughter Blood King being insulted by Chen Yu and couldn't help feeling the king was somewhat foolish and incompetent.
"Slaughter Blood King, let me, Mr. Yuan, reap his life."
Nie Yuan spoke with a proud expression, calmly.
In the auction, Chen Yu won the [Golden Mountain Tower], causing him to lose face. Today, he wants to personally kill Chen Yu.
Then he can use this as an excuse to demand more spoils.
"Mr. Yuan, better safe than sorry..."
The Slaughter Blood King prepared to warn.
Although Chen Yu's cultivation is at the Early Stage of Star Condensing, his combat power is extraordinary, previously killing someone at the peak of early Condensed Star Realm within the king's team.
Nie Yuan was indifferent, thinking the Slaughter Blood King wanted to snatch credit and vie for more spoils later.
Before the Slaughter Blood King could finish his words, Nie Yuan made his move.
"Demon Gold Sword Slash!"
Nie Yuan's entire body emitted sword energy soaring to the sky, his sword encircled with a layer of dark gold sword energy.
This profound artifact is top-tier inferior, and Nie Yuan's strength is not simple, the whole person seemed to transform into a wild, peerless sword.
Chen Yu noticed that there seemed to be an invisible barrier around, blocking the sword energy emitted by Nie Yuan.
"It seems the whole tavern is sealed by spatial artifacts or spatial arrays..."
Chen Yu murmured in his heart.
This is why they dared to act in Chaotic Sea City.
As long as they kill him and flee quickly, things won't escalate.
After all, this is the Chaotic Sea Plain, if it were any other famous cultivation city, no one would dare to cause trouble.
Nie Yuan saw Chen Yu absent-minded, still observing the surroundings, eyes flickering, "Death is imminent, and you're still looking around, soon you won't know how you died!"
Words finished, he swung his sword.
Bang!
The dark golden sword screen suddenly fell, sharp and overbearing, before the sword light arrived, the intense sword intent rushed into Chen Yu's mind, disturbing his thoughts.
However, Chen Yu's soul will was in no way inferior to Nie Yuan's, swiftly driving off the influence.
Facing Nie Yuan's sword, he activated "Body of Star Phases", his star acupoints glowing brilliantly.
Bang!
Chen Yu clenched his palm, met the dark gold sword screen with a punch, golden brilliance shining forth.
The sword screen instantly shattered, smashed by Chen Yu's punch.
"What is this?"
Nie Yuan was stunned for a moment.
He thought Chen Yu had a powerful trump card, but never expected him to break his attack in such a simple way.
"He's a body cultivator, his strength and defense are somewhat unusual..."
Seeing Nie Yuan suffer, the Slaughter Blood King spoke again.
Nie Yuan couldn't refute, listening to the Slaughter Blood King's explanation.
Chen Yu's earlier move indeed surprised him, but they had four people on their side, and a Mid-stage Star Condensation Realm Slaughter Blood King, how could they not overcome Chen Yu?
"Don't let him get close, let's attack together."
The Slaughter Blood King suggested.
Nie Yuan nodded.
The four slightly dispersed, attacking almost simultaneously.
"Blood Explosion Palm!"
The Slaughter Blood King's surroundings were filled with blood energy, life force extracted, turning into a blood-light palm, exuding decay and bloody aura.
"Demon Gold Mad Sword."
Nie Yuan's momentum further increased, showing a hint of madness, the sword in his hand slashed wildly, the fierce dark gold sword energy charging like the claws of an evil demon.
The two Early Stage of Star Condensing Realm members, gathered by the Slaughter Blood King, also attacked Chen Yu at this moment.
"Let's use you to test the [Golden Mountain Tower]."
Chen Yu didn't take heed of the four's siege, taking out a golden tower two feet high.
Originally, Chen Yu planned to use the [Golden Mountain Tower] as his trump card, not to use it lightly.
But having just obtained this mid-grade profound artifact, he wanted to see how mighty the [Golden Mountain Tower] is.
