Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 235 - Forcibly Seizing

Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Forcibly Seizing

Shi Hao shook his head: “Not for sale.”

“Three thousand, three thousand Spirit Stones!” Lu Yun appeared very anxious.

The stall owner felt his nerves quivering violently, as if he were about to go insane.

My god, what an idiotic thing had he done?

“Not for sale.” Shi Hao still shook his head.

Can the worth of the Fire Paulownia be measured with money?

Even more so, if he could find a lead and discover the complete Fire Paulownia, what a bounty would that be?

An entire Fire Paulownia tree.

Moreover, if the Flame Phoenix King had perched for a sufficient time on this Fire Paulownia, one might even attempt to discern the Flame Phoenix King’s unique skill—Fire Scorches the Heavens!

This was the strongest Fire Power in the world; the blaze from the Flame Phoenix King could even reduce the almighty of the Heaven Building Ladder to ashes.

Of course, this was getting a bit far-fetched, the hope too little. For Shi Hao, the value of this Fire Phoenix Tree Branch lay in its use for medicinal purposes or artifact refining; it was at least a nine-star level treasure.

Nine stars, the most precious material in the world. Could it be measured by the number of Spirit Stones?

To trade such a treasure, one would have to offer something of equal value, such as other nine-star Great Medicines or nine-star Precious Metal.

Three thousand Spirit Stones?

Heh, do you think I’m a fool?

“Not for sale.” Shi Hao shook his head, lowering his voice so that the other party couldn’t guess his identity, “You don’t need to raise the price anymore, I am not going to sell it.”

“Ten thousand! Ten thousand!” Lu Yun continued to raise the price. As the Young Master of the Lu Family, naturally he was extremely wealthy, even without having an elder from the Self-Observation sect as his mentor, he was not short of money.

Bang, the stall owner fell backwards; he had been stunned by his own “foolishness.”

Shi Hao ignored him and started to walk away.

A murderous intent flickered in Lu Yun’s eyes as he followed.

He was absolutely not going to give up on that Fire Phoenix Tree Branch.

—He had been here before and had taken an interest in this scorched yet exceedingly hard branch, but interest alone would not have led him to impulsively spend a thousand Spirit Stones.

A thousand Spirit Stones, that was no small sum.

But he couldn’t stop thinking about it, and so he consulted many ancient records, only to be shocked to discover that it might be the legendary Fire Paulownia Tree Branch!

This had thrilled him to no end, and he hurried over here. Even if it was just a suspicion, as long as there was a slight possibility, he had to buy it. If it turned out to be real, he would make a fortune.

So he set his sights on Shi Hao.

In the black market, no one would intervene or dare to make a move, but once outside, it would be a different story.

He intended to rob him openly.

Shi Hao saw this and couldn’t help but sneer in his heart, You really are shameless!

Fine, let’s have another showdown, make you feel suffocated and short of breath, so that every time you remember it, it will be agonizing; give you a proper disgust.

Shi Hao was in no rush to leave, looking around to see if he could pick up another bargain.

Unfortunately, as treasures were naturally rare, how could one just stumble upon another so easily?

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

Forget it, getting one Fire Phoenix Tree Branch was already quite good.

Shi Hao turned around and quickly left the valley.

At that moment, Lu Yun abruptly accelerated and cut in front of him.

“Hand over the item, and I might spare your life!” he said coldly.

There were actually people outside, and they were stunned to hear Lu Yun’s words.

Wow, this guy is ruthless.

Robberies had occurred here before, as there were indeed treasures of astonishing value that excited people beyond their control, but to demand someone’s life right from the start was indeed quite rare.

As far as Lu Yun was concerned, since Shi Hao had tightly held on to the Fire Phoenix Tree Branch, he most likely recognized its origin. Therefore, to keep the secret, he thought it better to silence Shi Hao.

After all, everyone was masked, and in theory, they didn’t know each other, so none of them were from Zhenwu Sect, right?

Lu Yun casually swiped his hand in the air, and bang, a stone four yards away immediately shattered.

Dark Force!

Witnessing this scene, everyone gasped.

This was a strong warrior from the Other Shore Realm!

Even within the Zhenwu Sect, the Other Shore Realm was an incredibly awesome existence, surpassed only by Self-Observation.

“How about it?” Lu Yun said indifferently.

Shi Hao shook his head, “Nothing special.”

“You’re merely in the Soul Nurturing realm. No matter how strong, you’re not an opponent worthy of one clash with me!” Lu Yun said arrogantly. Judging from Shi Hao’s aura, he was definitely in the Soul Nurturing stage—of this, Lu Yun was certain.

His figure leaped forward, attacking Shi Hao.

He had lost his patience.

Merely Soul Nurturing, one move to resolve.

Boom, a palm strike launched, no need to hit head-on, the Dark Force surged out, silent, indiscernible.

Pride rose within Shi Hao.

Now, he no longer worried about his identity being revealed.

Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique!

Hum, seven hundred and twenty-nine characters surged out of his body, drawing upon the Power of Heaven and Earth, transforming into nine lotuses of various colors, enveloping Shi Hao within.

Bang—the palm force had already struck, the first lotus bloomed, bang—it instantly shattered into countless fragments, dissipating into the air.

Shi Hao, unharmed and serene.

My god!

Witnessing this scene, everyone wanted to clutch their heads and scream, their scalps tingling with shock.

An Other Shore warrior’s strike, actually dissolved by someone in the Soul Nurturing realm.

Had they not seen it with their own eyes, who would believe it?

Lu Yun was also stunned, halting his attack.

The Soul Nurturing realm actually dissolved his attack?

This scene had actually occurred again!

If he wasn’t certain that Shi Hao had become crippled, and that the person in front of him dissolved it even more effortlessly, he would have started to doubt whether this was Shi Hao.

But could this world be any more twisted? To actually have produced two freaks capable of dissolving the great power of the Other Shore with a Soul Nurturing body.

No!

These nine lotuses must be a result of some treasure activation, just deplete them and it would be fine.

As a genius, Lu Yun of course had a resolute mindset. Having made up his mind, he immediately launched another attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He struck out palm after palm, and the lotuses surrounding Shi Hao bloomed one after another, then each of them dissipated.

After nine palms, all nine lotuses had also vanished.

“Haha, now what?” Lu Yun advanced forward with force, striking out another palm.

Shi Hao did not take it head-on, his figure flickered, dodging the strike.

He temporarily could not activate the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique again. Inside his Sea of Knowledge, all characters had dimmed, and it seemed that until they revived, he couldn’t use the technique again.

However, this also made Shi Hao realize that the Nine Lotus Sky-Sealing Technique could dissolve an attack from not just one island of the Other Shore, but three islands.

—Although Lu Yun was at the cultivation of one island, his combat power was of three islands level.

“Hand it over!” Lu Yun demanded sternly, striking palm after palm rapidly.

Shi Hao activated the Cloud Piercing Step, moving at incredible speed.

He had fully grasped the essence of this movement technique, so he did not need to strictly follow the steps; even if Lu Yun had seen him use it before, he was now guaranteed not to recognize it.

What’s more, he hadn’t.

Lu Yun truly was shocked; himself, a strong warrior of the Other Shore Realm, repeatedly frustrated by a minor martial artist in the Soul Nurturing stage.

What’s wrong with this world?

“Take my punch!” Shi Hao shouted lightly, feigning a strike at Lu Yun.
