Chapter 16 Nine Nether Assassin
"Little friend! The Ancient Blood Spirit Pill was auctioned for a total of 1.5 billion, which is equivalent to 150,000 high-grade Spirit Stones! After deducting the auction house's commission, that leaves you with 105,000 Spirit Stones!"
Dongfang Pavilion said with a smile.
Lin Feng was thrilled.
With just ten high-grade Spirit Stones, one could purchase a magical treasure of the Peak Spiritual Artifact Level.
105,000 high-grade Spirit Stones could assemble a vast army, each member armed with a Peak Spiritual Artifact!
"All of the Spirit Stones are inside this storage ring." Dongfang Pavilion handed a storage ring to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng sent his Divine Sense into the ring to inspect it and then nodded, saying, "No problem!"
Dongfang Pavilion smiled, "As for the herbs, the Miss has already said that they are a complimentary gift to our little friend from the auction house! We are pleased to cooperate with you, and should you have any more elixirs to auction, be sure to send them to our auction house. We look forward to a long-term partnership, mutually beneficial."
Lin Feng nodded, "If there are any more elixirs, I certainly will bring them here."
Saying that, he took out two high-grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Dongfang Pavilion, "Those Spiritual Medicines are valuable, I can't take them for nothing. These two high-grade Spirit Stones should be enough to match the value of the medicines, right?"
Dongfang Pavilion gave a wry smile but didn't refuse. He nodded, "That's more than enough."
After a pause, Dongfang Pavilion continued, "There's something else! Medicine King Chenming would like to meet you; would that be possible?"
Lin Feng shook his head, "It's not convenient for me to see him."
"Hmm, I'll take care of declining for you!" said Dongfang Pavilion.
"Thank you." Lin Feng gave a bow of thanks and after a few more words with Dongfang Pavilion, he quickly left the auction house.
Now possessing over a hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones, this was an immense fortune.
These Spirit Stones should be enough for him to cultivate up to the Yin Yang Realm, right?
Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng headed towards the Azure Dragon Academy.
At this moment, the night had fallen!
But the streets were still bustling with people, incredibly lively.
The Imperial City was known as the Dayless City.
Even late into the night, it remained exceptionally lively.
As Lin Feng passed a street corner, suddenly, a bizarre scene unfolded.
The bustling crowd that had filled the streets vanished without a trace.
Aside from himself, there was not a soul around.
All the people had disappeared without a trace.
Lin Feng's brows furrowed, this was a Formation, someone had cast a Formation to trap him within.
"Who's there? Come out!"
Lin Feng said coldly.
Swish.
A man dressed in white slowly walked toward him from the end of the street. This man appeared to be in his thirties, his eyes sharp and ruthless, radiating a cold and sinister aura.
"Who are you?" Lin Feng looked at the man with a slight frown. This was a Spirit Array Master; he had trapped him with an Array, and clearly, the man had ill intentions!
"Someone has hired me to take your life," the man in white said coldly.
"Assassin?" Lin Feng's expression grew stern.
"A Nine Nether Killer!" the man in white said proudly.
There were many assassin organizations, but there was only one Supreme Organization, the Assassin Dynasty known as "Nine Nether."
It was rumored that Nine Nether assassinated an Ancient Saint Emperor during the Ancient Era.
Legend had it that within the ancient Assassin Hall of Nine Nether, there still stood a hall constructed from the bones of the Ancient Gods.
And a Bone Throne made from the Ancient Saint Emperor's skeleton.
This was Nine Nether! A terrifying Assassin Dynasty that had sustained itself through endless ages!
Countless assassins from different organizations would feel proud just to join "Nine Nether."
Lin Feng had heard the Fire Kirin discuss the Assassin Dynasty "Nine Nether" before.
Even when the Fire Kirin spoke of "Nine Nether," it did so with a gravely serious expression.
This indicated the true terror that Nine Nether represented as an assassin organization.
And the man in white before him turned out to be an assassin from the "Nine Nether," Lin Feng knew that trouble might be imminent.
His expression tensed up; the assassin's strength was incredibly formidable, but most importantly, this assassin was also a Spirit Array Master.
"Your life, I'm taking it..."
The assassin spoke coldly.
He strode towards Lin Feng.
From the sky, snowflakes began to fall.
"It's snowing!"
Lin Feng slightly furrowed his brow.
Suddenly, a snowflake drifted towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's expression changed subtly, and he quickly retreated.
But the snowflake still grazed Lin Feng's body.
Puff! The snowflake burst, like a beautiful flower blossoming at its most beautiful moment only to wither away instantly.
The snowflake left a deep wound on Lin Feng's left arm, and blood immediately started to flow.
"How terrifying!"
Lin Feng's face was extremely grave; the falling snowflake was also a product of the Formation's evolution, very powerful, and it had easily injured Lin Feng.
And that was merely the first snowflake.
Above in the sky, snowflakes continued to flutter down.
"One flower, one world! One step, one killing intent! My snowflakes drifting! A cultivator at the Martial King Realm could also be slain! Let alone you! You are destined to not escape death!"
The assassin in white stood in the distance, looking at Lin Feng with an indifferent expression.
Snowflakes fell in sheets, swiftly slashing towards Lin Feng.
"Swoosh..." Lin Feng retreated rapidly.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a fierce wind swept through.
A dense barrage of wind blades enveloped the sky, slashing towards Lin Feng.
The assassin in white was terrifying, the Array he had laid out here wasn't just of one kind.
First was this Illusion Array, trapping Lin Feng!
Then came the sky-full of snowflakes, with endless murderous intent!
Lastly, there was this violent Wind Blade attack.
"Come forth!"
Lin Feng shouted lowly, summoning a magical treasure.
It was the Xuanwu Shield.
This was a Defensive Supreme Treasure, and a Treasure Level magical treasure, that Lin Feng had obtained in the Fire Dragon Cave Mansion; it possessed immense defensive power.
Once the Xuanwu Shield was summoned by Lin Feng, it formed a Defensive Light Shield that protected Lin Feng within.
Clang, clang, clang...
Snowflakes fell! Wind blades swept over!
All were blocked by the Defensive Light Shield!
"Eh, a defensive treasure! I'm actually surprised you have such an impressive item. Defensive magical treasures are the rarest. It seems you possess quite a few good things on you. Killing you today should yield a nice haul."
The assassin in white, seeing Lin Feng summon the Xuanwu Shield, a defensive treasure, immediately became excited.
These assassins! Aside from receiving large payments from their employers for their assassination tasks, they would also plunder the wealth from their victims!
Each time, after killing their target, was when the assassins felt most exhilarated, because that was the moment to check the spoils of the battle.
"Watch as I break your defensive magical treasure!" The assassin in white sneered, waving his right hand.
Swish. A flash of light, and a Jade Ruler magical treasure was summoned by the assassin in white. That too was a Treasure Level magical treasure, but this one was an offensive treasure.
Bang! The Jade Ruler harshly slammed into the Defensive Light Shield released by the Xuanwu Shield, making the light shield that protected Lin Feng tremble violently.
