Chapter 455: Crimson-Eyed Sparrow
Heaven-Shaker · 第455章 赤瞳雀鸟
"What I hate most is threats. I wonder if adding one top-grade bloodstone is enough!" A lazy voice spread across the hall, shocking everyone.
The stone spinning in the center of the hall emitted astonishing energy fluctuations, streaks of blood-red light leaking out, drawing countless gazes.
"Top-grade bloodstone!" An old man exclaimed, nearly rushing up to snatch the bloodstone.
"It really is a top-grade bloodstone! Such rich vitality, just as recorded in the classics. If I had one, I would instantly break through!" A group of greenhorns muttered inwardly, having never seen one before.
In the private box, the old man paused his stroking, his greedy eyes scanning the top-grade bloodstone, showing signs of eagerness.
A crowd was going mad. This was a top-grade bloodstone, something most had never seen, and now they feasted their eyes on it.
"Who is this guy? Such a bold move?" Dan Xueyi frowned slightly, unable to help asking. Tossing out a top-grade bloodstone like that, she was full of surprise.
"Bastard!" The prodigy of the妖族 roared, his voice like a dragon splitting the sky. Many juniors' ears rang, their bodies nearly exploding.
The woman in red's face alternated between joy and panic. If that妖 prodigy went berserk and destroyed the auction hall, it would be a huge trouble.
Boom! It struck. An illusory claw appeared in the air, instantly appearing before the top-grade bloodstone, grabbing fiercely at it.
"How dare you!" Yang Tian sneered. A golden lightning bolt suddenly shot from his eyes. As thunderclaps exploded, under the trembling gazes of the crowd, it instantly pierced through the claw in the void.
"So strong!" Seeing this, Dan Chen's pupils contracted slightly. He was greatly shocked. That妖 prodigy could even kill ordinary War Emperors; it was a powerful being.
"Ao!" The妖 prodigy flew into a rage. It burst out, manifesting its true form—a fiery red bird, its whole body seeming to burn with blazing flames, every feather dazzling, flowing with brilliant divine light.
"This is a Crimson-Eyed Sparrow!" An old man recognized its origin, exclaiming, his eyes wide. This was a rare exotic beast.
The Crimson-Eyed Sparrow, in ancient times, was a follower of the Vermilion Bird. Their clan possessed a trace of the Vermilion Bird's bloodline, making them very powerful.
The fiery red bird's ferocity soared to the sky. It was extremely vicious, ignoring the auction house's rules, and shot toward Yang Tian's direction.
Boom! It tore through the outer formation in one go, but inside, golden light was dazzling, making it impossible to see clearly.
"Ao ao!" Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, a pig-like scream came from within, making most people's hair stand on end.
Bang! Suddenly, a large bird flew out horizontally. It was in a miserable state, most of its feathers plucked, bare in patches, thrown out by Yang Tian.
"You go too far!" The large bird was furious, but it didn't dare stay. It immediately dove into the private box.
As soon as it rushed in, someone grabbed its neck. Without even seeing a shadow, all its feathers were plucked. Fortunately, the person held back, or its life would have been lost.
"This..." Some people were stunned. They had expected a world-shaking battle, but it was settled in a few moves. That妖 prodigy had suffered a great loss.
Dan Chen and Dan Xueyi exchanged glances, a hint of a smile on their faces, but more surprise. The person inside was extremely powerful, finishing off the large bird in no time.
"It seems I need to break through quickly. The people coming are getting stronger and stronger." Dan Chen murmured to himself. He had only fought to a draw with that big red bird, but today he encountered such a terrifying figure.
Yang Tian felt somewhat helpless, looking at the bright feather in Yun'er's palm with great resignation. He had only tapped it a couple of times, but unexpectedly, Yun'er had plucked all its feathers. If Yang Tian hadn't reacted quickly, that big red bird would have been left with nothing.
"Luckily the person inside didn't make a move, otherwise it would have been troublesome." Scratching his head, Yang Tian sensed a powerful creature inside, but it hadn't acted at all.
As for the demon race, Yang Tian wasn't particularly wary. The seal around Xiaoqing's neck belonged to the Golden-Winged Roc King, which was a token of the demon race; no one dared to make a move.
In that private room, the big red bird, with tears and snot streaming, said to the old man beside him, who had a steady demeanor, asking him to teach Yang Tian a lesson, having been beaten quite badly just now.
"Stop fooling around. You've always said there are no geniuses among humans. What about now? That young man is about the same age as you." The old man shook his head slightly and couldn't help but scold with a smile.
The big red bird was indignant and wailed, wanting the old man to teach Yang Tian a lesson and save face.
"This young man has the aura of a divine beast on him. It's not appropriate to act." The old man shook his head slightly and said calmly. Just now, he had sensed Yang Tian's aura, which contained a hint of divine beast aura, making him very cautious.
"Divine beast!" Hearing this, the big red bird's heart tightened, and it immediately shut its mouth. It had the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird divine beast within it, and it revered divine beasts more than ordinary creatures.
The commotion subsided, and the attention of many people in the hall fell on the auction items, which were becoming increasingly precious.
Yang Tian had been resting with his eyes closed for a while when he opened them, feeling a sense of foreboding.
"Yun'er, we need to leave early. I feel something is off." Yang Tian slowly stood up and said to Yun'er.
"Oh, okay." Hearing this, Yun'er nodded her little head and followed behind Yang Tian, heading toward the hidden door inside.
Every auction house had a hidden door, mainly to protect the safety of guests. After Yang Tian arrived at a passage, a voluptuous woman came up to greet him.
"Take me to the appraisal room." Taking a deep breath, Yang Tian said calmly to the voluptuous woman before him.
"Very well, sir. Please follow me." The voluptuous woman nodded and walked ahead of Yang Tian, the large expanse of snow-white skin on her back fully exposed to his view.
Yun'er grabbed Yang Tian's hand, looking at the voluptuous woman ahead with a wary expression, feeling very indignant inside.
Seeing this, Yang Tian couldn't help but laugh inwardly. After a short while, they arrived at the appraisal room where Yang Tian had been earlier, and both entered.
The voluptuous woman took her leave, but there was a hint of cold sneer in her eyes. Yang Tian's gaze quickly fell on the old man with his head lowered, and his heart suddenly leaped, vaguely sensing unease.
"Heh heh, young friend, aren't you going to bid on the next items?" The old man before him slowly raised his head, a pair of venomous eyes scanning Yang Tian as he sneered.
Pursing his lips, Yang Tian looked at the terrifying old man before him and said calmly, "What? Is your auction house going to detain me?"
"Detain you!" The old man's tone shifted, and he barked, "You have some nerve, coming here so blatantly to auction things. Today, I will indeed detain you."
Hearing this, Yang Tian frowned slightly and said calmly, "What do you mean?"
"You killed my grandson, and you ask me what I mean? How ridiculous." The old man pronounced Yang Tian's death sentence and explained unhurriedly.
"Killed your grandson?" Yang Tian's frown deepened. He thought for a moment, then showed a look of sudden realization.
On the way here, he had killed a young man and a group of guards, but what he hadn't expected was to run straight into the line of fire.
