Chapter 493 - His is Yours

“Red Flame Wings?” Su Mo was touched as he stared at the wings, and his eyes glimmered.
If it worked just as what Ming Yu said, then it was too suitable for him!
This kind of abnormal treasure was much more practical than a martial arts technique. It saved a lot of time that could be used elsewhere, and could give him a speed boost that was way higher than his cultivation level could do.
It was a perfect tool for traveling, killing, and escaping!
“Brother Su Mo, are you into this treasure?” asked Hong Qingxuan and she smiled after she saw Su Mo’s excited face.
In fact, she also was interested in this treasure. However, since Su Mo wanted it, she would not compete with him for it.
“Yup! It could make up for my shortcoming on movement speed.” Su Mo nodded and said.
Su Mo wasn’t the only person that was intrigued, but most of the people in the Auction Room too. Numerous blazing eyes were fixing on the wings in Ming Yu’s hand.
“Precious!”
Xue Tianhao laughed and said, “Haha, it’s mine!”
Upon seeing the countless keen eyes, Ming Yu gave a charming smile and said, “The craft method of this kind of flying treasures was lost since post-archean times, making this item extraordinarily precious. The initial bidding price is 300,000 Medium Spiritual Stones, and each markup should be no less than 10,000 Medium Spiritual Stones. The bidding begins now.”
Hiss!
As soon as the voice fell, the sound of gasping rose one after another.
The initial bidding price alone had deprived 90 percent of the people’s will to bid.
“So expensive!” Su Mo frowned at the price which was beyond his expectation.
The Spiritual Stones he had were not enough for this, and he had to sell his items to bid for this treasure.
However, an item’s price that the auction room offered was normally lower than its market price.
After all, the auction room knew that the person who wanted to trade his items for stones must have insufficient stones, and he could do nothing with it.
Su Mo hesitated for a moment and decided to trade his Martial Scrolls for stones. He was determined to get this pair of wings.
His movement speed could increase significantly with this treasure, and he would not need to learn a high-level body-move technique any time soon. Of course, he would have to learn a body-move technique eventually because a skill could not be replaced by a treasure.
“400,000 Medium Spiritual Stones!”
Someone offered the bid and directly raised 100,000 Medium Spiritual Stones.
The bidder was located at the Heaven-category VIP rooms.
Many of the people in the Auction Room were shocked. Who was so rich?
Su Mo frowned slightly because he recognized that it was Xue Tianhao’s voice.
“410,000 Medium Spiritual Stones!”
“420,000!”
“440,000!”
“…”
Immediately after Xue Tianhao spoke, many people followed the bidding, and the price of the Red Flame Wings skyrocketed. There were many other rich people here as well.
The price was raised to 550,000 Medium Spiritual Stones in just 30 seconds!
Su Mo was not in a rush to bid, and waited for the price to stabilize.
“650,000 Medium Spiritual Stones!” Xue Tianhao bade again and raised the price another 100,000 stones.
“Gosh! What the fu*k! Raising 100,000 every time.”
“Who bids like this!”
“It’s the young master of Golden Shark Sect, Xue Tianhao!”
The crowd was shocked by Xue Tianhao, and those who bade before stopped doing so because this price was way beyond their limit.
“Hum! You want to compete with me? You’re not qualified!” Xue Tianhao snorted in the VIP room.
There were no True Darkness Realm experts bidding for Red Flame Wings, and the bidders were mostly at the Enlightenment Realm. Therefore, Xue Tianhao seemed to be telling the truth.
“660,000 Medium Spiritual Stones!”
At this moment, an untimely voice rose, and it was Su Mo.
“Su Mo!” Upon hearing Su Mo’s voice, Xue Tianhao’s face fell, and murderous intent glittered in his eyes.
He then grinned and said to himself, “My strength can’t match yours, but my wealth can!”
“700,000 Medium Spiritual Stones!”
He did not raise the price by 100,000 stones this time because it was close to the item’s maximum price, and the price would be way over its value if higher than that.
“710,000 Medium Spiritual Stones!” Su Mo raised the price again.
“730,000!” Xue Tianhao continued.
“740,000!”
“770,000!”
“780,000!” Su Mo kept the pace.
Xue Tianhao’s face darkened at this. He then gnashed his teeth and thundered, “850,000!”
He tried to overwhelm Su Mo once and for all.
Ming Yu had a sweet smile. She was very satisfied with the situation. The Auction Room loved to see competitions over an item.
“860,000!” Su Mo raised the price again in a calm voice.
“Motherfu*ker!” Xue Tianhao was furious and one-hand clapped the sandalwood chair into dust.
He looked terrible and wanted to raise the bid again. However, 860,000 Medium Spiritual Stones was far beyond its value and it was stupid to follow the bid again.
However, he was extremely unwilling to give up the Red Flame Wings.
“Haha! Tianhao, you don’t need to compete with him at all!” Tao Wei shook his head and chuckled.
“Why?” Xue Tianhao was puzzled and looked at Tao Wei.
Tao Wei grinned and said, “Because he will be dead soon, and his things will be yours!”
Xue Tianhao was struck dumb. He then slapped his forehead and said with a bitter smile, “I was too mad at him to think rationally. How could I forget this!”
Tao Wei’s words were true. As long as he killed Su Mo, Su Mo’s belongings would be theirs.
Xue Tianhao’s face turned from darkness to sunshine. He smiled and said, “Then I’ll give this to him!”
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Brother Tao, Su Mo’s movement speed will increase a lot with the help of Red Flame Wings. Will he manage to escape?”
“Not a chance!”
Tao Wei shook his head and said confidently, “The body-move technique I practice is Upper Lv 5, and I’ve reached its Great Completion during a decade’s practice. My move speed is 20 percent higher than normal low-level True Darkness Realm experts. He won’t escape me!”
Xue Tianhao nodded and felt his worry go away.
On the auction platform, Ming Yu asked loudly, “The honorable guest from Human-category room 101 bids for 860,000 Medium Spiritual Stones, is there anyone following?”
The answer was no.
“860,000 Medium Spiritual Stones, calling once. Calling twice. Last call. Sold!” Finally, after the hammer fell, the Red Flame Wings was sold to Su Mo.
Soon, a beautiful maid brought the wings to Su Mo’s room.
