Chapter 1156: Chapter 1156: Killing With a Glance
Fang Mo looked at the Nine-star Battle Emperor before him, his eyes unwavering.
"Hmph, don’t think I don’t know who you are. The Desolate Hall has been growing more brazen in recent years, amassing power. Our Hall Master had long predicted that you would come to rob this batch of goods." Fang Mo sneered as he looked at the Nine-star Battle Emperor in the sky.
The reason he concluded these people were from the Desolate Hall was that he sensed a sinister power emanating from them.
"Desolate Hall?" Xu Nian below was a bit surprised.
He had almost forgotten this organization.
When he hadn’t left yet, the Desolate Hall was always sneaky. He didn’t expect it to have grown to such an extent over the years.
He originally thought these people were sent by Emperor Xing, but now it seemed they were more likely from the Desolate Hall.
"Good eyesight, but even if you know, what can you do? With your strength, how could you possibly stop me?" The Nine-star Battle Emperor snorted coldly.
As soon as he spoke, the faces of the Star River Mercenary Corps turned grim.
Their leader was just at the Nine-star Saint Level, and couldn’t possibly be a match for the Nine-star Battle Emperor.
And this concealed coachman was only at the Three-star Battle Emperor Level, far from being a match for a Nine-star Battle Emperor.
The situation was still utterly hopeless.
Li Qingxian also frowned tightly and said to Fang Mo: "Brother Fang, your strength is high, you might be able to leave. There’s no need to accompany us to die. This person’s cultivation is too high; we are simply not his match. Better for one to live than all to die."
Hearing this, Fang Mo only smiled and shook his head, his expression composed and calm.
But this smile, in the eyes of the people, was one of someone facing death without fear.
"It’s over, it’s all over, how can I be so unlucky," the merchant Wu Daniu wailed in grief.
His heart was bleeding at that moment.
These ten carts of goods were acquired with his entire fortune, holding secrets that no one knew.
He had hoped to make a huge profit, but never expected to be ambushed halfway.
In fact, he didn’t fully know the preciousness of the Ice Jade Marrow, he only knew that the essence born from the Ice Jade Stone must be an extremely valuable treasure, hence he dared to bet so big.
If he had known that such an item would be coveted by Earth Immortal Experts, he definitely wouldn’t have dared to touch it.
After all, an innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth.
"Brother, how about we make a deal?" Suddenly, someone patted Wu Daniu’s shoulder and said.
Wu Daniu was stunned, turned his head to see that it was the young man he picked up halfway.
Wu Daniu originally thought the young man had long slipped away, but he didn’t expect him to still be around.
As for Wu Xiaoxi, upon seeing Xu Nian, she was overjoyed and quickly called out, "Brother Nian!"
Xu Nian smiled and nodded, then looked at Wu Daniu.
"What kind of deal?" Wu Daniu asked.
"I help you kill all these people, and you sell these goods to me, how about that?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.
"Kill all these people? Sell the goods to you?" Wu Daniu could hardly believe his ears.
Who are these people?
The weakest are at the Marquis Level, with the strongest at Nine-star Battle Emperor Level.
Even the leader of the Star River Mercenary Corps and the experts of the Divine River Palace were no match. How could a mere young man be their opponent?
And selling the goods to him, could he really afford such an amount?
Seeing Wu Daniu’s expression, Xu Nian smiled and said, "Here are ten million top-grade Spirit Stones to buy all your goods. If you think it’s not enough, we can negotiate further."
Xu Nian handed an ownerless storage ring to Wu Daniu.
Ten million top-grade Spirit Stones?
Wu Daniu was doubtful.
Although he only had Battle Sect Level strength, he was always dealing with martial artist business, and knew more about Spirit Stones than regular martial artists.
So, when he heard ’ten million top-grade Spirit Stones,’ his first reaction was that Xu Nian was bluffing.
But when he picked up the storage ring and checked, he was astonished.
Inside the storage ring, Spirit Stones were piled up like a mountain.
Moreover, the Spirit Stones had immense Spiritual Energy, definitely top-grade Spirit Stones beyond doubt.
This was the first time Wu Daniu had seen so many Spirit Stones in his life, let alone top-grade ones.
Even one top-grade Spirit Stone is enough for an ordinary person to live their entire life.
"So, is it enough?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.
"Enough, enough, are you sure you want to buy these ten carts of goods?" Wu Daniu asked again, excitement in his eyes.
Though the Ice Jade Marrows were precious, even if brought to the Imperial Capital, they wouldn’t sell for ten million top-grade Spirit Stones.
Plus, these goods could be plundered at any moment.
This young man was willing to pay such wealth, of course, he was extremely willing.
"I’m sure to buy these goods, but I also need something from you," Xu Nian continued.
"What is it? As long as I have it, you can have it," the merchant Wu Daniu, still basking in the joy of gaining such wealth, said.
"I heard you have a very old beast skin map. Would you sell it to me as well? I like to collect old artifacts," Xu Nian said with a smile.
"A beast skin map? You mean this? Here you go. I got it from an auction, spent a thousand gold on it, but it’s incomplete, and the marked place isn’t even on our Tianhen Continent," Wu Daniu said disdainfully, pulling out a tattered map.
Seeing this map, Xu Nian’s eyes lit up.
Yes, this beast skin map was indeed the fourth Starry Sky Fragment he was looking for.
Now, he had found all four fragments.
Next, he would wait for the return of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast to piece together the four maps.
"Sir, since you’ve bought the goods, they’re yours now. If anyone wants to seize them, it’s none of my business," merchant Wu Daniu said.
"Naturally, now that they’re mine, I will guard them well," Xu Nian smiled, then waved his sleeve, collecting all the Ice Jade Stone carts into the God King Tripod.
Everyone under the Heavenly Dome was staring at Xu Nian.
They had heard Xu Nian’s conversation with Wu Daniu.
When they heard he was using ten million top-grade Spirit Stones to buy these goods, they thought it was a joke.
But now, it seemed true.
"Kid, who are you? Hand over your storage ring, and I might spare you from death," said the One-star Battle Emperor, rather than the Nine-star Battle Emperor.
Xu Nian slightly smiled and merely glanced at the One-star Battle Emperor.
"Boom!"
The One-star Battle Emperor instantly exploded into a blood mist.
What just happened?
Everyone around was dumbfounded.
Li Qingxian was also shocked; to kill a One-star Battle Emperor with just a glance, what kind of power was this?
Fang Mo was equally astonished, although he knew Xu Nian was powerful, he hadn’t expected him to be this formidable.
