If they visited the Auction arena today, it means there's something they also wanted to bid for.
As expected, when the Sword King said that, the expressions of the duo changed and it looked as if they were going to drop the provocations. They weren't planning to bid for the combat technique anyway, they just wanted to anger the sword King a little.
"I'll let you have this then" Abyss Death King said.
"You owe me one Mizar" Aurora Mage Queen also added and gave up bidding.
Mizar sword King gritted his teeth in anger. They were clearly the ones backing out yet that little Aurora brat made it seem as if they were doing him a favour. 'I'll deal with her later!' Mizar thought to himself.
"1.3 Million Magic crystals. Is there any higher bid?" The Auctioneer asked.
"Going once! Twice!.."
"1.5 million Magic crystals!" Another male voice suddenly rang out throughout the Auction Hall rendering the whole place silent once again. The voice came from the VIP room but from behind the Mizar sword King.
The Mizar sword King turned back to look at the new protagonist only to find a Swordman donning a black cloak with a hood that covered his entire face. Beside him, a level 54 Assassin sat with his heart in his throat as he glanced fearfully at the Mizar sword King.
"Who are you?" Mizar sword King asked.
"I'm a bidder" Xuanyuan replied.
"You'd better drop out from this bid. The technique is mine" Mizar sword King said. "Don't offend me for a mere Combat technique!" He threatened.
"If you have the money, just outbid me. Then I'll give up the item for you" Xuanyuan retorted.
"Interesting..." Abyss Death King muttered as he scrunitized Xuanyuan. Not many had the balls to go against Mizar sword King in Purple leaves city.
"Do you know who I am?!!" Mizar sword King bellowed furiously.
"Why should I know you?" Xuanyuan replied flatly.
"If you don't know your place, I won't mind breaking a few bones to teach you!" Mizar sword King.
"I'm sure that's not allowed in here..." Xuanyuan said pointing towards the NPC guards standing behind them in the VIP room.
"You are only safe in this place" Mizar said. "You can forget about escaping my clutches outside"
"We shall see then" Xuanyuan retorted.
"Since you want to compete. I'll let you, so you can see how big of a difference is between us!" Mizar sword King said. "I bid 1.8 million Magic crystals!" He shouted.
'I won't mind showing you how wealthy the City lord of an Holy city is either!' Xuanyuan muttered to himself.
"2 Million Magic crystals!" He shouted.
"2.5 Million Magic crystals!" Mizar shouted.
"3 Million Magic crystals!" Xuanyuan shouted back.
"3.5 Million Magic crystals!"
"4 Million Magic crystals"
"Why is this guy so rich!" Mizar sword King bellowed.
"I think you should give up now, Young Master" One of his followers said. "This price is already way above it's value. We can kill him and get the item once we leave" He continued.
"That sounds fun" Mizar smiled and stopped bidding. "He's not only going to lose millions of Magic crystals, he'll also lose the technique he spent them to buy. That's the price you pay for going against me"
"4 Million Magic crystals, going once! twice! Sold!" The Auctioneer announced. "Congratulations to number 22 for winning the combat technique!" The Auctioneer smiled resplendently after all, the starting price was 500000 yet it sold for 4 million Magic crystals. That's overprofit!
The Auctioneer continued displaying more items and as expected, Abyss death King and Aurora Mage Queen also won some of them. Those items weren't useful for Xuanyuan so he didn't bid for them. He just quietly waited for the Auction to end so he could receive the items he won.
As for the Mizar sword King, he was already in a foul mood when he was provoked by his rivals and with Xuanyuan going against him, he was thoroughly angered. Now he couldn't wish for anything than to rip Xuanyuan into shreds.
"You really are gutsy, Xuanyuan. I can't believe you actually dared to offend the Mizar sword King in his turf" Grim reaper said to Xuanyuan. "With the way he keeps glancing back at you, he will probably attack once we're out of this place" he continued and Xuanyuan only smiled in response.
"If we can quickly get out of this place and reach the Main street before them they'd be unable to do anything to us"
Soon enough, the Auction ended and the players and NPCs began trooping out of the Hall leaving only those who won items during the auction. Xuanyuan looked around but didn't see the Mizar sword King. The latter had probably went ahead to set up an ambush against him. But he was not unfazed in the least. Even if they had a Tier 4 NPC with them the outcome will still be the same.
He collected the Combat tablet and the Magic design and exited the Purple leaves Auction arena...
Once they were outside, Grim reaper quickly activated a Tier 2 movement speed and dash ahead at top speed expecting Xuanyuan to do the same. As an Assassin, his speed was insane as he quickly appeared at a point dozens of yards away.
"Run!" He shouted at Xuanyuan when looked back and saw the latter lazily strolling forward as if the whole place was his backyard.
Grim reaper's face turned pale when he suddenly saw the Mizar sword King and his right followers surrounding them with evil gazes of a predator looking at his prey.
"Now you have nowhere to escape to trashes!" Mizar said.
"Leave us alone! You know you can't do anything to us with the Guards close by" Grim reaper said with a relieved expression once he saw the Guards patrolling nearby.
"Sorry but I already isolated this place with a Magic scroll" Mizar said...
