Chapter 400: Chapter 400 Run Faced with Shi Hentian’s bid, the martial artists present all had varying levels of understanding. Many were mainly focused on whether Xia Liu would bid again; if he did not, then the definite losers would be Yan Wuqing and Qiu Wenfu. Even if Xia Liu gave up now, his life was over. Because Yan Wuqing and Qiu Wenfu had been played, and unless Shi Hentian stood up to protect him, Xia Liu would certainly meet an inescapable death; it was almost impossible for a Mysterious Rank Warrior to survive under the hands of an Earth-Rank Peak Warrior. Even now, if Xia Liu handed the stone to Shi Hentian, Shi Hentian might agree to keep him alive under the hands of Yan Wuqing and Qiu Wenfu. But there were also two other young masters from prestigious families, Zhao Daxi and Lin Hui. Both had been humiliated by Xia Liu, and even Shi Hentian could not withstand the pressure from four warrior families. In the end, for a mere Mysterious Rank Warrior, Shi Hentian would not risk his life. So, no matter from which angle one looked at it, Xia Liu’s end result was death. “Guest number one hundred eighty bids again; one billion one hundred million.” Boom! The moment Ye Xuan’s announcement rang out, all the martial artists were shocked, feeling as if thunderclaps were exploding in their hearts. Xia Liu had actually raised the bid by ten million to suppress Shi Hentian! What did this mean! He disregarded everything, even Shi Hentian! How terrifying! This time, Xia Liu had thoroughly offended three high Earth-Rank Warriors. Two Earth-Rank Peaks, one Earth-Rank High-Level Peak, along with two young masters from prestigious families. Different expressions were brimming on everyone’s faces. Most were mocking. They were actually quite eager to see how Xia Liu, after acquiring the item, would escape from the hands of five Earth-Rank Peak Warriors. Facing Xia Liu’s actions, Ouyang Lingtian by the side had long been startled. With a cold expression and not speaking a word, if it were just the two young masters, he might have been able to threaten them using Heaven Slaying and the Taiji Sect. But now, Xia Liu had not only offended the two young masters but also three High Earth-Rank Warriors! Even bringing up the Taiji Sect was futile at this point. As for his own Ouyang Family, there was no chance, as ordinary families in the Secular World couldn’t intervene in martial artists’ conflicts. In the end, Ouyang Lingtian could only shake his head, secretly hoping that Xia Liu could unleash a Heaven Rank Cultivation, otherwise he was definitely doomed. Shi Hentian stared intently at Xia Liu with slightly squinted eyes, not saying anything, his calm demeanor chilling the atmosphere. “One billion one hundred million once…three times! Sold! Congratulations to guest one hundred eighty on acquiring the mysterious stone.” Ye Xuan announced with a smile the winner of the stone. Her smile also contained a bit of expectation, what she was expecting, only she knew. After obtaining the stone, Xia Liu didn’t leave immediately, and neither did the people around him. They all wanted to see just how tragic Xia Liu’s end would be. “Lingtian, you should go first.” Ouyang Lingtian, clutching a stalk of Condensing Energy Grass in his pocket, gradually turned grim, “No, I’ll face it with you.” Earlier, while others weren’t paying attention, Xia Liu had given a stalk of Condensing Energy Grass to Ouyang Lingtian, hoping he would leave ahead. However, how could Ouyang Lingtian leave? Even though Xia Liu had a confrontation with the Earth-Rank Warriors over the Condensing Energy Grass and his cultivation was Low-Rank, they faced it together. Moreover, Ouyang Lingtian had some confidence. Although he couldn’t freely unleash his Sword Qi now, he could still form seals and condense Sword Qi to kill enemies. If he were to battle an Earth-Rank Warrior later and unexpectedly condense Sword Qi to slay one, it would definitely cause shock, perhaps even creating a path to survival. “In that case, how about you take the Condensing Energy Grass and the stone, and I handle those martial artists?” Xia Liu and Ouyang Lingtian had carried out missions together before, knowing well the man’s tenacity. Not even Earth-Rank Warriors could deter him, it seemed he had to strike fiercely this time. “Alright.” No unnecessary words, a glance, a slight nod of the head was a sign of trust, of entrusting one’s life to a brother. “Where nearby is spacious and less populated?” “Drive for two hours, and you can reach the large forest on the outskirts, it’s generally deserted.” “What are we waiting for then, run!” After saying this, Xia Liu immediately grabbed Ouyang Lingtian’s wrist and sprinted outside. Xia Liu’s speed was extremely fast, causing bystanders to gasp in astonishment. They hadn’t expected Xia Liu to pull such a move and just run away… “Chase!” Lin Hui and Zhao Daxi immediately started running as they shouted. Even if Xia Liu hadn’t offended Shi Hentian and his two associates, they couldn’t let Xia Liu escape just like that. Shi Hentian, Yan Wuqing, and Qiu Wenfu also set off in pursuit. As long as Xia Liu had escaped from the Ye Family Trading Company’s territory without causing much of a commotion, they wouldn’t encounter any trouble. Even if they were blamed, it didn’t matter. If Xia Liu provoked them first, where would the Earth-Rank Warriors display their face? By the time everyone got out the door, Xia Liu and Ouyang Lingtian were already nearly rushing out of the factory area in their car. Those martial artists who had cars drove, those who didn’t ran in pursuit. Earth-Rank Warriors were very fast, but they couldn’t sustain a long chase and soon became tired. However, their hearing was excellent and having overheard Xia Liu and Ouyang Lingtian talk about the large forest outside, they all chased in that direction. They all harbored some hope, thinking that if they reached Xia Liu before Shi Hentian and his group, they could directly seize him, kill him and then they could get that mysterious stone. Yes, the stone that could loosen the cultivation of Earth-Rank Warriors wasn’t only coveted by Shi Hentian, Yan Wuqing, and Qiu Wenfu. Today, all the Earth-Rank Warriors who came to the auction were tempted. They all faced bottlenecks. If that stone could help them advance, they would definitely fight desperately to snatch it. And if they could snatch the stone without anyone noticing, that indeed would be a great deed. “Five Ghosts, prepare the car.” After the other martial artists left the auction room, Ye Xuan coldly ordered. “Yes!” Five martial artists fully draped in black cloth responded in unison and promptly left the auction room. “Great changes are coming to Yanjing…” Recollecting the events that had just transpired, Ye Xuan muttered softly. On the ring road, a black car passionately sprinted among the flow of vehicles. Its speed was astonishing, not less than two hundred miles per hour. Behind it, two supercars were also madly chasing. Although they were supercars, with so many cars on the road, even supercars had their speed constrained. “Brother Lin, no need to go too fast, I’ve already had a friend use a satellite to track that car; he can’t escape.” In the supercar, Zhao Daxi casually spoke. “Alright, but we have to agree beforehand, if we retrieve the Condensing Energy Grass later, we split it equally between us.” “Naturally, I don’t have the capability to monopolize it…” Inside the car, the two men chatted and laughed easily, while the numerous cars behind them sped up in pursuit. Their target was all the same, Xia Liu!
