Chapter 1127 (Exchanging For Your Life)
"How about I use the primordial divine artifact in my hand!" Another black-clothed person shouted, and the jade bracelet on their wrist emitted a mysterious aura, obviously a valuable item.
The crowd erupted in surprise. They actually brought out a primordial divine artifact; what a generous offer! The black-clothed person glanced at it and shook his head.
The crowd started buzzing again. If he doesn't even accept a primordial divine artifact, what else could he want?
"Sir, why don't you give us an example so that we can understand better," someone suggested.
The black-clothed person calmly said, "I've already said it—your most precious belongings."
The crowd couldn't comprehend the meaning behind the black-clothed person's words. What could be considered the most important?
"Time waits for no one."
"I have something to exchange with you!" At this moment, Lu Hong suddenly shouted, changing his voice to maintain secrecy since they were on a covert mission.
All the black-clothed individuals present looked at Lu Hong, curious about what this person in black would use for exchange. Now, even a primordial divine artifact wasn't acceptable; could there be something even better?
Chang Hen was contemplating. Did it have to be exchanged with a Mystical Fire? After all, a Mystical Fire was much stronger than a primordial divine artifact.
The black-clothed person turned to Lu Hong and asked in a plain tone, "What do you offer in exchange?"
Lu Hong coldly replied, "I offer your life!"
Lu Hong had discussed this with the Death Mage earlier; this item was required by the Lord, and they had to obtain it by any means necessary, even if it meant resorting to force.
Despite the audacity of the statement, all the black-clothed individuals fell silent. This person in black had quite the courage, daring to utter such words.
Did you not realise that this person in black is an Overlord-level figure? Moreover, they have a Mystical Fire; they could easily make you experience the sensation of being burned alive.
Ye Zizi and Kai Yun found it interesting; this person in black was quite daring to make such boastful remarks.
Wei Chang and Tang Wei appeared cautious, as obtaining the Bloodgold was crucial. They couldn't let others get it, so the best approach was to seize it. However, Wei Chang chose to remain still, observing the strength of this presumptuous black-clothed person.
Chang Hen had considered the idea of seizing it but hesitated due to his identity. However, considering that he was wearing black clothes, and others didn't know him, he could act without being recognized.
It seemed that acquiring Bloodgold would require a show of force. First, let's assess their strength and then decide.
"Hahaha, do you want to take my life? Since I dare to stand here, I have come with fearlessness. No matter what crazy ideas you have, I'll accept them all!" The black-clothed person expressed great confidence, revealing a fearless demeanour.
Lu Hong remained composed, glancing at the Death Mage, then launched a sudden attack!
The bluestone beneath his feet instantly crumbled, surprising everyone. This black-clothed individual seemed quite formidable.
Lu Hong's speed was astonishing, reaching the black-clothed person in the blink of an eye. The rapid pace was truly breathtaking!
This black-clothed person was at least a Heavenly Venerable or higher!
No wonder they dared to make such bold statements. However, the opponent was an Overlord-level figure; even a Heavenly Venerable had no impact.
The lower-ranking black-clothed individuals perceived Lu Hong as a Heavenly Venerable.
Yet, Chang Hen, being familiar with such characters, knew that this control of speed appeared like that of a Heavenly Venerable but was, in fact, an Overlord!
Unexpectedly, among this group of black-clothed individuals, there were so many formidable characters! It seemed they were all experts from hidden realms, targeting Bloodgold.
Wei Chang in the crowd sensed a familiar aura. In that brief moment, the scent seemed to be...
"Uncle Wei, we need to take action too. We must seize it," Tang Wei cautiously said. Seeing others making their moves, we can't fall behind.
Wei Chang suddenly chuckled, "No need."
"Why? Aren't we seizing Bloodgold?" Tang Wei questioned, having searched for information on Bloodgold for a long time. If they could find it, the Lord would be delighted.
"Because this black-clothed person is probably Lu Hong," Wei Chang said casually.
Wei Chang both personally trained Lu Hong and Yi Hong. They emitted his aura, and when Lu Hong activated his skills just now, Wei Chang detected it.
Since Lu Hong was here, it was reasonable to assume that the Death Mage was also present.
Thinking of it this way, Wei Chang recognized the plot twist. This young fellow had grown up and should handle things for the Lord.
"Is it Lu Hong?" Tang Wei whispered in surprise. After all, everyone dispersed to search independently.
"We'll just observe for now. If anything unexpected happens, we can intervene," Wei Chang remained vigilant. Although not particularly fearful, caution was necessary to prevent surprises. Bloodgold was too crucial, and they couldn't afford to lose it.
Tang Wei nodded, realising that Uncle Wei's considerations were becoming more thoughtful.
"Zizi, when should we make our move?" Kai Yun was getting impatient; this person seemed quite powerful.
Leaving a tip-toe mark, Zi Zi placed her hands behind her head and yawned, "Let's wait and see. After all, the important characters always make a grand entrance."
"Yeah, there might be even stronger experts," Kai Yun happily commented.
On the roof, Lu Hong was currently confronting the black-clothed person, appearing calm and unrushed.
Lu Hong was confident because Wei Chang had bestowed his power upon him. Over the years, he hadn't remained stagnant, continuously practising and improving upon his foundation. Now, facing this black-clothed individual, he believed he could emerge victorious!
"You seem unwilling to follow the rules..." The black-clothed person said in a cold voice.
Lu Hong extended his right hand, stating, "The strong don't need rules."
Upon hearing Lu Hong's words, the black-clothed individuals below began to discuss.
"Wow, this person is really good at showing off."
"Yeah, he actually voiced his true thoughts."
"People who love showing off usually don't live long. Sooner or later, they'll die on the road of showing off."
Hearing Lu Hong's words, the black-clothed person suddenly burst into laughter. "You're quite interesting!"
Lu Hong didn't want to waste time on unnecessary words and said sternly, "Hand over the Bloodgold, and you can go."
"Why should I give it to you when you don't follow my rules?" The black-clothed person seemed completely fearless, speaking with a natural confidence that was intriguing.
"Well, it seems I can only exchange it with your life then."
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. You might not get my life."
Lu Hong hadn't encountered such an arrogant character in a long time. He decided to teach this person a lesson and show him the vast difference between heaven and earth. As a subordinate of Ye Hua, he couldn't let him lose face. One punch should be enough for such an opponent.
"Ahhh!" Lu Hong lightly shouted, and his fighting spirit erupted instantly.
