Chapter 40: Killing
Chen Ning raised the price of Tianyuan Qi by 50,000 gold coins in one breath, and as his words fell, the entire auction house was extremely silent, and all the people present were nervously staring at the auction hammer in Lingman's hand on the stage, not knowing which hammer would end up with.
"120,000 gold coins!" Meng Khan shouted again.
"130,000 gold coins!" Situ Nan was not to be outdone.
At this time, many attentive viewers have found that Hong Tian, the founder of the Hongcheng organization, has quietly put down the bidding in his hand, which means that the Hongcheng organization has given up the auction of Tianyuanqi.
At that time, only the other three gangs were left in the field to fight fiercely.
"One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!" Chen Ning once again pushed the price of Tianyuan Qi to a new peak.
"150,000 gold coins! Chen Mengzhu quoted 150,000 gold coins! Is there anything higher?"
"180,000 gold coins!"
The Mengshi family's Meng Khan's bid immediately made the entire venue fall silent, and it took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses, and then thunderous cheers and applause poured up.
Hearing this offer, Situ Nan, the president of the Wanda Association, shook his head and threw the bidding sign to the ground, which meant that the Wanda Association also withdrew from the auction.
Now, there is only Meng Khan of the Montmon family left, and almost all the eyes of the audience are focused on Meng Khan and Chen Ning, and the nervous mood passes with the passage of time minute by minute, and at this time, the atmosphere of the whole venue gradually warms up. The auction price of a full 180,000 gold coins, the reserve price of Tian Yuanqi was only 2,000 gold coins, and in just a short period of time, it had increased nearly a hundred times, which simply created a miracle for the entire auction house.
After hearing this offer, Chen Ning glanced at Meng Khan with a gloomy face, and then gave up the auction as well.
Ling Man, who was presiding over the auction, was already flushed with excitement, stood on the stage, and shouted almost like a wild roar: "Patriarch Meng bid 180,000 gold coins?......! 180,000 gold coins at a time...... 180,000 gold coins twice...... 180,000 gold coins ......"
Just when Lingman's last two words had not blurted out, suddenly, a deep male voice suddenly resounded throughout the venue: "200,000 gold coins!"
Chen Fan's voice was not loud, but this low voice had an almost explosive effect, the price of 200,000 gold coins made the entire venue silent for at least half a minute, and in an instant, all the eyes of the entire venue converged on Chen Fan's side, looking at Chen Fan with different eyes.
Meng Khan's eyes erupted in flames to find the source of the sound, and when his gaze swept to Chen Fan, he couldn't help but glare at the latter fiercely, and then suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted loudly: "Two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!"
With this shout, the originally noisy auction hall fell silent again, and no one expected that Meng Khan would add another 50,000 gold coins, making Tian Yuanqi's offer now reach an astonishing 250,000 gold coins.
Just when everyone thought that this offer would last for a while, Chen Fan smiled faintly and said again in his characteristic low voice: "Three hundred thousand gold coins!"
After listening to this offer, a clansman beside Meng Khan tugged at his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Patriarch, we can't continue to bid for the price! The warehouse was stolen last night, and the remaining 250,000 gold coins are already all our belongings, and if we ask for more, we won't have the money to pay, besides, it's not worth it for a mere roll of martial arts!"
After hearing this, Meng Khan suddenly stood up from his seat in annoyance, looked back at Chen Fan viciously, waved his hand, and left the venue without looking back with several servants beside him. This announced that the Montessori family had also withdrawn from the auction.
After a long time, the auctioneer Ling Manfang woke up from the shock, he looked at Chen Fan for a long time, then took a deep breath, and said with trembling lips and teeth: "This... This little brother bid 300,000 gold coins! Is there any higher one?300,000 gold coins once! 300,000 gold coins twice! 300,000 gold coins three times! Okay, I announce that the ultimate winner of Tianyuan Qi is this little brother!" As he spoke, he pointed in the direction where Chen Fan was.
As soon as Ling Man's words fell, the entire auction hall was immediately overwhelmed by a huge noise, and people whispered, and the intersection of the conversation was undoubtedly Chen Fan and the others who won this auction and their mysterious origins.
Lingman came to Chen Fan almost trotting all the way, and said with a smile: "May I ask what is the name of this little brother?"
"Chen Fan!" Chen Fan replied lightly.
"Oh, Brother Chen, congratulations!"
"Hehe, you're welcome!"
Ling Man looked Chen Fan up and down carefully, and said with a flattering smile: "Little brother is really a young hero, at such a young age, it is really admirable to have such courage!"
Chen Fan waved his hand with a smile, too lazy to listen to his nonsense, he just wanted to leave this place this morning, so as not to attract attention, and after a change of words, he continued: "Master Ling, can we go through the handover procedures as soon as possible?"
"It's easy to say, if the little brother is free, he can handle it now, and I'll arrange it. With that, Lingman said hello and went to the backstage to go through the handover procedures.
As soon as Lingman left, some warriors and businessmen who were curious about Chen Fan surrounded them, some of these people were curious about their identity, and some of them hoped to have a good relationship with Chen Fan and others, among them, Hong Tian, the founder of the Hongcheng organization, strode in front of Chen Fan, and greeted warmly: "This little brother, I am Hong Tian, the founder of the local Hongcheng organization, the performance of the little brother just now is really impressive, if the little brother does not dislike it, you can come to the village to sit and sit when you have time, so that I can enjoy the friendship of the landlord." ”
Chen Fan bowed politely and said humbly: "Boy Chen Fan, thank you for the kindness of the owner of the village, I will definitely visit the owner of the village when I have time another day." ”
"Haha, that's good, I'll take my leave first!"
The auction ended smoothly, and Tian Yuanqi finally fell into Chen Fan's hands with 300,000 gold coins, escorted by Xiao Wu and Yue Wuya, Chen Fan squeezed out of the crowded auction hall and walked straight to the backstage of the auction hall.
Chen Fan knew in his heart that his group had no foundation here, and now they suddenly won the first place in this auction unexpectedly, and it was inevitable that many people would be blushing because of this. Now, if you stay here for a while, there will be more danger, and for the sake of today, you can only leave this place as soon as possible with the Heavenly Yuan Qi.
The handover ceremony was held very smoothly, because they were in a hurry to leave, Chen Fan and his party of five hurriedly returned to the tavern after getting the Tianyuan Qi, preparing to continue their journey early the next morning.
That night, Chen Fan went downstairs and found a vacant seat to sit down, ordered a pot of soju, and with him, there were four people: Fang Han, Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu, and Yue Wuya. At this time, it was not long after dark, and there were not too many guests in the restaurant, and occasionally a few scattered drinkers were also sparsely sparsely sitting.
Fang Han picked up a glass of soju, drank it all, took a long breath, and laughed loudly: "Brother Chen, today is really happy, you didn't see it, Meng Khan's last face is green, it's really relieving, haha!"
Chen Fan was also happy when he heard this, and then, as if he had thought of something, he turned to Xiao Wen and said, "Brother Xiao, we didn't leave anything behind in the affairs of Mengfu, right?"
Xiao Wen's face was straight, and he replied: "Brother Chen, don't worry, I have cleaned up my tail, and no one will suspect us in the short term." After a pause, he continued: "However, what I am most worried about now is that now that we have the Heavenly Yuan Qi, it is inevitable that some people will have some bad ideas, in my opinion, we should leave this place as soon as possible, and it is best to leave tonight." ”
Chen Fan nodded, secretly praised the reason, and said: "You are right! The tree is very windy, this place is not suitable for a long time, we will leave tonight." ”
Fang Han and the others on the side also nodded secretly after hearing this, expressing their agreement.
At this time, Yue Wuya, who had not made a sound, suddenly frowned, raised his eyes and swept around, and then said: "Brother Chen, I feel that there are vitality fluctuations nearby, and it seems that there are a large number of martial artists lurking here. ”
"What?!" After listening to his words, everyone around him was shocked, and Chen Fan was even more surprised: "How many people are there on the other side?"
Yue Wuya shook his head: "I don't know!" But the other party's aura is very smashed, the number of people should be around tens, and the cultivation is also high. ”
Chen Fan gasped, since there were a large number of martial artists lurking nearby, then the other party's target must be himself, more precisely, the Tianyuan Qi in his hands. He secretly smiled bitterly, the other party's speed was really fast, and he didn't even have time to run away, thinking about it, Chen Fan immediately ordered: "Since the other party is here, let's not let them see the flaws for the time being, once we start to do it, we will separate and rush out to kill." ”
"Understood!" Fang Han and the others nodded heavily, and several people didn't continue to say anything, lowered their heads, and continued to drink tea.
After a short time, four people walked in outside the restaurant, Chen Fan secretly scanned the people with his spare eyes, if you look at them from the appearance alone, these people are no different from ordinary drinkers, but Chen Fan can feel a strong murderous aura from the body of the person, this kind of aura is only possessed by those martial artists who have been fighting all year round.
The four people who came in just looked around, and then sat down near the window with a big grin, and didn't look at Chen Fan and the others, putting on a harmless appearance.
It seems that the people who came didn't seem to have any malicious intent, but Chen Fan and Yue Wuya and other martial artists were in their hearts, and a few people sat by the window and looked nothing, but experienced people knew that this was the location chosen to prevent the other party from escaping, it seems that the other party really came here to target himself,
After a short time, three more big men walked in from outside the tavern, these people were no longer as low-key as the previous group of people, after coming in, several people first glanced at Chen Fan and the others with fierce eyes, and then chose a position close to the main entrance to sit down, of course, this sitting is also to prevent Chen Fan and others from escaping.
As more and more warriors poured in, for a while, the entire tavern was enveloped in a thick murderous aura.
