Douluo: Purple Brilliance Shines, Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Are Forever

Chapter 50: Fierce Knife, Want to Pick Up a Lot? No Way!

"Good evening, distinguished guests."

"I'm Qingya, the auctioneer from the Starlight Auction House. I'll be hosting tonight's auction."

"Our auction officially begins now!"

"Now on display is today's first lot - a third-level long-range soul guide device, the soul-guided paralysis ray, created by a sixth-level soul guide."

"..."

The auction is proceeding in an orderly manner, and each of the three to five level soul guides tailored for the contestants are being bought by various parties.

Xu Tiance, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen seemed to be in low interest. They were just sitting in jail here, without any sense of participation.

These items were so ordinary that they had no incentive to bid for them. Not only could they make them themselves, they could also do better.

"Ace, will this auction really have what you need?"

"The finale lot hasn't even been put on the stage yet, don't be impatient."

"Oh, okay." Meng Hongchen pouted, supported her chin with both hands, and continued to watch the ongoing auction boredly.

Xiao Hongchen on the side shook his head helplessly and continued to wipe the carving knife in his hand.

"Next is the finale of this auction. Its price is very high. But I believe that those who truly understand it will find it worth the money."

It's here, it's finally here.

It was worth it that he waited for so long, finally the real thing came.

Xu Tiance immediately perked up and looked intently at the item covered by the bright red cloth on the auction table.

At this moment, Xiao Hongchen also turned his attention to the auction table, because he felt that the carving knife in his hand seemed to be slightly vibrating due to the influence of the items on the table.

"Is this the carving knife your highness has been waiting for?"

"Of course."

"A list carving knife, huh?"

"maybe."

A carving knife is a tool used by soul masters to engrave core magic arrays. It is an essential item for every soul master to create soul tools. The higher the level of the soul tool, the higher the level of the carving knife required.

In the world of soul masters, carving knives are also ranked. The so-called ranked carving knives are the top 100 carving knives in the continent's carving knife rankings.

More than two-thirds of the ranking engraving knives are in the hands of the top soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire, and the one that appeared at the Starlight Auction House today is also one of the ranking engraving knives.

Upon learning that the finale item was a list-carving knife, the bidders on the scene all showed great interest in it.

Each of the knives on the list is a rare treasure and worth a fortune.

However, auctioneer Qingya's next words dampened the enthusiasm for the auction.

"Dear guests, please be patient. Although this list-carving knife is precious, it has a fatal flaw."

"It ranks ninety-ninth in the carving knife rankings, but given its actual capabilities, it's definitely in the top thirty."

Qingya paused for a moment, glancing regretfully at the ancient carving knife on the auction block. "The reason it's ranked so low is because... it's a cursed carving knife."

"A cursed carving knife?" Meng Hongchen rubbed his chin, a flash of inspiration coming to his mind, "A vicious knife that devours souls!"

At the same time, one of the bidders recognized the true identity of the listed knife and exclaimed in surprise. "Yes, this knife is none other than the 'Soul-Devouring Knife,' known as the 'Soul-Devouring Knife.' From its creation, it brought disaster upon its owner, leading to their downfall. Since then, every one of its owners, without exception, has met a tragic end!"

After listening to Qingya's complete introduction to the carving knife, many bidders who were originally eager to bid remained silent.

Just kidding, whoever uses it will die. To put it bluntly, it's bad luck. Naturally, they are unwilling to take the risk.

Meng Hongchen looked at Xu Tiance, placed her jade hand on the back of his hand, and shook her head, "Ace, we can't have this carving knife!"

"If you need it, I can help you find a better one when we return to the Sun-Moon Empire. The Soul-Devouring Blade really won't do!"

Xiao Hongchen also echoed, "Your Highness, my sister is right. If it weren't for the Soul Devouring Carving Knife's vicious reputation, the empire would never allow it to remain out there. Your Highness, please reconsider!"

"I know you're doing this for my own good. Thank you for your concern. Don't worry, if I wasn't absolutely sure, how could I dare to have any thoughts about this fatal carving knife?"

"Ace, don't be so stubborn. Don't gamble even if there's a little risk!"

"I won't risk my life, believe me."

"Are you really sure?"

Xu Tiance touched her furry little head lovingly and nodded affirmatively.

"Since you have made up your mind, I will listen to you."

"Thank you." After saying that, Xu Tiance looked at Xiao Hongchen on the other side, "Meng'er has agreed. What about you, Brother Hongchen?"

"Your Highness has pledged so solemnly, I am naturally willing to believe you. However, this matter concerns your safety, and I cannot afford to take any risks. After returning to the empire, I will tell Grandfather everything."

"Yes, even if I don't end up using this carving knife, I can't let it fall into other people's hands."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"The Soul-Devouring Carving Knife has a starting price of 100,000 gold soul coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 5,000 gold soul coins. Distinguished guests, you may begin bidding." Qingya said with a smile.

Seeing the reactions of the people in the audience, Qingya knew that this item would most likely fail to sell again tonight.

It is impossible for the item to fail to sell again because someone has already placed a bid.

A slightly childish voice sounded from the audience, breaking the silent atmosphere, "One hundred thousand gold soul coins."

Qingya was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled happily, "VIP number 333 bids 100,000 gold soul coins. Are there any other VIPs who would like to bid?"

Xu Tiance looked in the direction of the voice and locked his gaze on Huo Yuhao, who looked a little nervous.

It seems that he has learned the secret of the Soul-Devouring Knife from Alex.

"Want to get a bargain? No way!"

"One hundred and ten thousand gold soul coins!"

The sudden and magnetic voice instantly attracted everyone's attention, and an absurd thought germinated in everyone's mind - in this day and age, there are still people rushing to seek death?
Huo Yuhao's expression suddenly changed. He turned his head to look in the direction of Xu Tiance. Their gazes met and collided in the air.

Golden lines appeared in the depths of his eyes, and his intelligent eyes penetrated the spots of light cast by the wall lamps, but the moment they met Xu Tiance's eyes, it was as if he had crashed headfirst into two boiling abysses of molten gold.

The amber pupils reflected the golden pattern of the sun, which not only blocked the spiritual spying from the spiritual eyes, but also backfired on its owner.

Huo Yuhao's brow twitched suddenly, and what he saw seemed to be an illusory sea of ​​fire burning in the sky. A tingling sensation spread along his optic nerve to the top of his skull, as if someone had suddenly inserted a red-hot silver needle into his tear gland, and then pulled back just before burning through his retina.

"I didn't expect the 'Golden Sun Eyes' to have such a wonderful use. Huo Yuhao, it feels good to be humiliated, right?"
