Chapter 973: Chi Xiao Divine Sword
The people from Country D found it quite hard to accept; this was entirely different from the Dragon Country people they had imagined.
At the same time, their eyes revealed a hint of jealousy towards Ye Feng.
Many people from Country D act this way. When they see you weak, they want to bully you and trample your dignity. But when you become stronger than them, although they fear you, they also envy you.
Time flew by quickly, and soon it was 6:30 in the morning of the next day. The sky was already bright.
The auction was nearing its end, and the host's face showed fatigue.
But at that moment, upon learning that the final treasure was up next, the fatigue on the host's face vanished, replaced by immense excitement and fervor.
The host excitedly shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, next up is the grand finale of our auction!"
Upon hearing "grand finale," everyone's eyes lit up with excitement and anticipation.
At that moment, the staff pushed a cart into the room.
The cart was covered with a red cloth, and everyone's hearts began to race with excitement.
When the cart reached the stage, the host unveiled the red cloth, revealing a rectangular redwood box atop the cart.
The host placed the redwood box on the display stage, and everyone held their breath, their eyes filled with anticipation.
You should know that the redwood box was made of thousand-year-old redwood, exuding a faint glow of spiritual energy. Just this box alone could fetch a billion at auction, which demonstrates the value and anticipation for the treasure inside.
The host said, "Folks, the concluding treasure of this auction is inside this box. Let me introduce it first. This treasure is none other than the Chi Xiao Divine Sword, ranked second among the top ten famous swords in the history of Dragon Country, renowned for slicing through iron like mud!"
"Chi Xiao Divine Sword!" Instantly, everyone became excited, their eyes filled with exhilaration and expectation.
Keep in mind, this is one of the top ten famous swords from Dragon Country, and legend has it that the Chi Xiao Divine Sword once slew a dragon.
That legend tells you just how mighty the Chi Xiao Divine Sword is.
The host then opened the redwood box directly.
"Wow~~" A crimson light burst forth from the box instantaneously, illuminating the entire venue, as everyone's eyes sparkled with excitement, gazing at the redwood box.
"Buzz Buzz Buzz~~" Instantly, a crisp sword chant echoed in everyone's ears.
The crowd became exhilarated as they recalled the melodic sword chant. Then, the air was filled with waves of sword qi, interweaving aggressively.
Ye Feng clearly sensed the excitement within his Execution God Ring; the Seven Stars Dragon Spring Sword resonated excitedly, as if finding a kin, producing an excited resonance.
However, Ye Feng's Heaven Slaying God Sword remained calm without any reaction.
Of course, this was within Ye Feng's expectations, as he knew that compared to the Seven Stars Dragon Spring Sword and the Chi Xiao Divine Sword, the Heaven Slaying God Sword is far superior in grade, belonging to an entirely different class.
The Heaven Slaying God Sword even possesses powerful spiritual wisdom, having its own consciousness, which Ye Feng could sense. However, due to his current limited strength, he couldn't communicate with the Heaven Slaying God Sword.
As the light gradually dimmed, everyone could see the form of the Chi Xiao Divine Sword—a completely crimson divine sword with a sharp blade, its golden body engraved with a vivid five-clawed Divine Dragon, as if it were real.
The auction host eagerly said, "Everyone, this is the Chi Xiao Divine Sword. I'm sure I don't need to elaborate on its value; even a strong Legendary can increase their fighting ability by forty to fifty percent with such a divine sword.
The bidding starts now, with the Chi Xiao Divine Sword's base price set at five billion, and each increase must be no less than a billion!"
Everyone was stunned, realizing it was a full five billion. None of the previously auctioned items had an opening bid price exceeding one billion, yet the Chi Xiao Divine Sword started at five billion.
Upon seeing the Chi Xiao Divine Sword, both Mier and Princess Meier's eyes gleamed, filled with anticipation. Mier loudly shouted, "Sixty billion!"
"Lord Mier bids sixty billion; is there a higher bid?" the host shouted excitedly.
Princess Meier didn't hesitate at all, directly bidding, "Seventy billion; is there a higher bid?"
Mier, refusing to be outdone, continued to bid, "A hundred billion!"
"A hundred billion!" Everyone was instantly shocked. In all of Country D, there were no more than ten aristocratic families capable of offering such an amount at once.
However, Princess Meier wasn't the least bit rushed, as if she had already expected it: "A hundred and fifty billion!"
"Two hundred billion!" Right after Princess Meier bid a hundred and fifty billion, Mier directly raised it to two hundred billion.
"Hiss~~~" The crowd gasped in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief, unable to fathom it.
You should know, that was a staggering two hundred billion—an amount they'd never seen in their lifetime.
"Two hundred billion! Do you think Ye Feng will compete?" Everyone turned their gaze to Ye Feng.
Earlier, Ye Feng had appeared extravagantly wealthy, spending a whole over one hundred billion.
Now everyone was curious if Ye Feng would compete against Mier and Princess Meier for the Chi Xiao Divine Sword.
"I think Ye Feng has run out of money; he spent recklessly earlier and surely can't afford it now!" Everyone discussed among themselves, believing Ye Feng couldn't compete with Mier and Princess Meier.
"He's just a Dragon Country native. Bringing out over a hundred billion is already impressive; it's unlikely he has more money left..."
"Indeed, he's the wealthiest Dragon Country citizen I've seen!"
