บท 92: Chapter 91.1: Auction - A Mess Before the Calm (2.1)
The voice said it in a moderate tone and everyone turned around to the voice. Another attendant with a wooden mask came in their sight.
"Heh, it's two to one now?" Huo Liang Xun completely ignored that the fact he was blacklisted.
Heero shook his head and continued, "Leave now,"
"What if I don't want to leave? Are you going to force me to leave? Heh heh, I wonder how are you going to force me to leave," Huo Liang Xun snickered.
"No, if you don't want to leave, I will not force you to leave. Instead, I will knock you down and you will be locked in a dungeon!" still, with his moderate tone, Heero gave his reply.
However, Heero's reply earned laughter from the surroundings. Yes, the people who had been watching from the sidelines laughed aloud. It was as if they heard the best joke of the year.
Even though Huo Liang Xun was suppressed by someone unknown man earlier, it was still far from defeating him. After all, he was still an Emperor Class Hero, it would be not that easy to knock down someone like Huo Liang Xun.
Moreover, everyone also noticed Huo Liang Xun had not fully shape-shifting to his true form.
"Interesting, I would like to know how are you going to lock me in the dungeon?" Huo Liang Xun challenged.
"Master, let me…" The attendant with a sword said in a low voice that only Heero could hear, but he was stopped by a gesture from Heero.
With that, Heero approached Huo Liang Xun, At a steady and normal pace. Just like how a normal person walks.
Bai Xin Yue looked at the new figure who approached Huo Liang Xun with an interesting look. Sun Zhou Yi was strong, the attendant with a sword also managed to suppress Huo Liang Xun, then what about this guy?
"It seems the fight is over…"
Bai Xin Yue heard a mutter from Sun Zhou Yi which was shocked her. The fight had not even started yet, but how could he say the fight was over? It made no sense and she was clueless, but soon, she would get to know the meaning of Sun Zhou Yi's words.
Huo Liang Xun, despite challenging the attendant in an easy-going manner, did not lower his guard. He was still on high alert, anticipating every move the man in front of him would make.
However, the man in front of him just walking, no other moves, and only stopped a meter away from him. Huo Liang Xun frowned as he thought the man in front of him was toying with him.
'Is he waiting for me to make my move? Then, I will make my move first!' thought Huo Liang Xun.
Just as he wanted to launch a punch, he opened his eyes wide. There was an unknown pressure on his body, it made him hard even to move his hand.
'I have to go all out…' it was Huo Liang Xun's thought as soon as he felt the unknown pressure.
His black hair transformed into brownish long hair, it covered his neck that it looked like a lion's mane. His face also changed into an inhuman face, his mouth turned into a snout with sharp teeth. his black eyes turned into golden brownish. There was a single spiral horn protruding out from his forehead.
Not only that, but his body also got bigger and his shirt was torn with a sudden change in his body. Huo Liang Xun's height was about 2.5 meters, he became a lot taller.
With his true shape-shifting form, the pressure lessened. The pressure was still there, hindering him a little, but it was much better compared to before.
As soon as his shape-shifting was over, a fist that became two times bigger than before shot toward Heero's head. The pressure slowed his punch, but he was confident in his punch.
The fist shot unhindered toward the wooden mask. The onlookers thought the attendant was stunned by Huo Liang Xun's sudden change as the man did not try to dodge or block the incoming punch.
That was wrong as the punch never arrived at the attendant's face. The strong punch was caught by a hand, a hand belonging to the attendant. At the last moment, the attendant raised his hand and caught the first with a bare hand.
There was also a thing that caught the onlookers' attention. It was the moment when the attendant caught the fist. There was a spark, a blue spark escaped from the palm of the attendant.
The one who was shocked the most was Huo Liang Xun himself. He was confident that his punch would at least blow the man in front of him away.
However, not only did he fail to blow the attendant, his punch even failed to push the attendant back. What made worse was the fact that the man in front of him caught his fist with ease.
'Hmm, his fist is commendable for somewhat who can't use Ki…' thought Heero as he received the fist, he felt an itch despite having Ki covered his palm. It was commendable for a raw force.
"Will you follow me obediently? Or do you want me to knock you?" still in his moderate tone that had not changed, Heero gave a choice.
Heero's moderate tone somehow pissed off Huo Liang Xun. He tried to pull his fist from Heero's grasp but found out he could not pull his fist. No matter how hard he tried, he just could not pull it.
He was known for his raw strength, his strength could be considered in the top ten of the Emperor Class Hero. Here, he was getting toyed like a child, his hand won't even budge from the grasp.
He drew his other hand as he wanted to shoot another punch to break free from the attendant. Huo Liang Xun opened his maw and showed the scary sharp teeth, he intended to let out a roar as he shot his punch.
Roa---!
But before a roar even came out from his mouth, there was a fist hit his chin. Heero made his move, a fast uppercut landed on Huo Liang Xun's lower maw. The wide opened mouth closed again; no roar came out.
"It's late, you will wake the kids up with your roar," said Heero to the stunned Lion Man and added in a calm voice, "It seems you won't obediently follow me, then I will show you how I am going to drag you to my dungeon,"
As soon as he finished his words, Heero launched a fist at Huo Liang Xun's belly. He was holding Huo Liang Xun's hand, rooting him on the spot. The fist hit right onto its target.
As the punch landed, Huo Liang Xun's Body hunched back and the closed maw opened wide once again. His feet were getting off the ground, if not for Heero holding Huo Liang Xun's hand, his body would fly back from the punch impact.
"Grrghhh!" a pained growl came out of Huo Liang Xun's mouth. The punch but just a start, a series of punches landed onto the powerless Huo Liang Xun.
The scene unfolded in the center hall stunned everyone. A mere punch rendered an Emperor Class Hero powerless. Huo Lian Xun became a sandbag to the attendant.
Then the people who planned to make trouble here imagined themself in Huo Liang Xun's position. A chill went down their spines as their bodies shuddered involuntarily. Even an Emperor Class Hero amounted nothing here, let alone them who was still far below an Emperor Class.
People began to realize that the security in this auction was not loose at all. Instead, the security of the Xing Auction House was impeccable.
Except for the sound from Heero's punch, the hall was still in deep silence. It lasted for five minutes, after that, it was complete silence.
Slowly, Huo Liang Xun turned back into a normal appearance. The hair-like mane turned back to normal and his inhuman face also backs to his rough look with his eyes closed. He was passed out. The reason why Huo Liang Xun did not fall, was because his hand was held by the attendant.
After that, they heard the attendant tch-ed and released a mutter, "Tch, how are you going to see how I send you to a dungeon if you passed out like this…"
The surroundings heard the mutter as the hall was still in deep silence. Then everyone saw the attendant toss the burly Huo Liang Xun with his one hand to the attendant with a sword.
Then, the attendant nodded at Blacksmith Huang and walked back to his previous spot. At this time, Butcher Wang has already come back. He witnessed how Heero thrashed an Emperor Class Hero from the entrance.
"Just how strong are you…" Butcher Wang muttered as he headed back to his original spot next to the stage.
Even Emperor Class Hero was powerless before his Master, then what would happen if his Master turned serious?
'Ah, it happened a few weeks back then…' thought Butcher Wang as he remembered the daunting phenomenon a few weeks back then.
Receiving a signal from Heero, Blacksmith Huang continued, "I am sorry for the inconvenience, but we have subdued the troublemaker. Please get back to your seat, we will continue with the auction,"
With Blacksmith Huang's voice transmitted to the air, the people began scurrying to their original seats.
Looking at how obedient these people were, Blacksmith Huang showed a satisfied smile as he walked to two meters red case. He opened a red case, showing the first gear that would be auctioned soon.
It was a sword with a red handle, there was nothing fancy from the appearance, but the heroes and rankers were looking for a sword with high-quality, not a fancy sword.
At the same time, there was a big flash on the back. The big screen showed a picture of the sword inside the red case and next to the picture, there was a simple detail. Gold Class Gear - Grade B, below there was a simple explanation of why the sword rated as Grade B.
"The starting price is a million WD and each rise has to be at least a hundred thousand!" Blacksmith Huang announced as a signal the auction truly started.
