Match

  The long and narrow street was covered by thick fog. Two figures, one black and one blue, quickly crisscrossed in the black fog. Every time the two figures collided, there would be a sound of metal sparks and air waves.

  At first, Ling Ying completed it with a playful attitude, wanting to test Xiao Se's strength. But gradually, he found that he was far superior to the other party in terms of speed and strength, but the other party could always resolve his attacks with his unimaginable perception and clever swordsmanship.

  "This kid has some skills. It seems I have to take him seriously." This thought flashed through his mind quickly. Ling Ying put away the blade in his hand, looked at Xiao Se calmly, and said calmly: "Boy, your soul perception is indeed outstanding, but it is not yet at the level of being able to lock onto my figure. You... seem to be able to see me."

  "Do all killers talk so much nonsense nowadays?" Xiao Se shook the magic sword in his hand, took out a purple fire pill from his waist and put it in his mouth, saying indifferently.

  Indeed, with his soul power at the level of a fourth-grade alchemist, he was unable to see through Ling Ying's movements, but he had the Eyes of Perspective. As the name suggests, the Eyes of Perspective could see through all obstacles within the limit of his vision, including Ling Ying's black fog and himself. In other words, when the Eyes of Perspective were fully activated, every angle and direction of his body could be seen clearly.

  "Well, I'll let you see what an unavoidable attack is." Facing Xiao Se's questioning, Ling Ying didn't seem to care. He bent his upper body slightly, put his hands on his waist and grasped two half-length curved blades. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he murmured in a low voice: "Don't die."

  As he spoke, under Xiao Se's gaze, hundreds of clones appeared. These could be said to be clones, or entities, because they were all afterimages formed by Ling Ying's high-speed movement.

  Seeing a large group of shadows attacking quickly, Xiao Se raised the corner of his mouth slightly, put the magic sword into his body, and quickly made several strange hand seals with his hands.

  "Fire escape, great fire extinguishing."

  As Xiao Se roared in his heart, a huge purple flame like sea water suddenly spewed out from Xiao Se's mouth, covering the entire street in an instant.

  This is the purple fire sprayed out by the Purple Fire Pill. Under the amplification of the Great Fire Extinguishing, although the power has not changed, the range has reached an extremely terrifying level.

  "Hey, hey...what the hell is this? Is this how you play with fire?" Looking at the huge purple flame coming towards him, Ling Ying's mouth twitched and he created a dark shield in front of him to block it.

  The next moment, a large purple flame instantly engulfed it.

  The top floor of Mittel Auction House.

  Ya Fei poured Hai Bodong a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Old Hai, Chief Tengshan wrote back saying that the four herbs have been reserved for you. In addition, Chief Tengshan is also doing his best to search for the other missing herbs. Once there is any news, he will get them at all costs."

  "Well, thank you for your hard work." Hai Bodong picked up the teacup and said calmly.

  "Look at what you said. You are the supreme elder of my Miter family. This is what Yafei should do." Yafei put down the teapot gracefully and said with a smile.

  Ever since Xiao Se called Hai Bodong "old man" before he left, Ya Fei had been paying attention to him. Then, after Hai Bodong finished writing the letter, she also wrote one and sent both copies together. Only then did she learn from the reply letter that the old gentleman in front of her was the Ice Emperor of the Mitel family who had disappeared for many years.

  "Haha, girl, no wonder that guy said you have a talent for being a businessman. Your ability to judge people is extremely valuable, and it is exactly what the Mitre family needs most. And from my observation over the past few days, this branch of the auction house is indeed managed in an orderly manner by you. When that guy comes back after finishing his business, you can come back with me to the Mitre Auction House headquarters. After all, it is a bit of a waste of your talent to stay in this small place." Hai Bodong chuckled and said calmly.

  "Thank you, Hai Lao." Ya Fei gave a bitter smile. This time, she seemed to have been helped by the little guy again inadvertently.

  Suddenly, Hai Bodong's expression changed abruptly and he put down the teacup in his hand. "This breath of fire, it seems that the little guy is in trouble." After saying that, Hai Bodong jumped through the window, spread his icy wings and flew rapidly in the direction of the flames.

  Only Yafei was left standing there in a daze.

  On the other side, in the alley, Xiao Se looked at the unharmed Ling Ying and couldn't help but smile bitterly. After all, the power of the purple fire was still too small. Even with the blessing of the Great Fire Extinguishing, it only increased the range. It was okay to deal with some miscellaneous soldiers, but it was still no match for the real strong ones and couldn't even break the other person's defense.

  "Boy, the flames are pretty good, but unfortunately they are still a little bit weak. Do you have any stronger tricks?" Looking at Xiao Se who was still calm on the opposite side, Ling Ying's eyes flashed with admiration. Xiao Se's excellence was beyond his expectations. Whether it was combat ability, soul perception, or even fire control skills.

  Xiao Se smiled and nodded, saying calmly: "Of course I have, but I think even if I use it, I will not be a match for you, a Dou Huang, and my reinforcements are already here."

  As soon as the words fell, Hai Bodong's familiar figure fell straight down from the sky, half-crouching on one knee between Xiao Se and Ling Ying, and the ground opened up with long and narrow cracks like a spider web.

  "Mr. Hai, this peak match is left to you." Xiao Se waved at Hai Bodong with a smile, jumped back, and retreated to the roof behind him.

  "Tsk, this kid is saying something incomprehensible again." Seeing Xiao Se's mean look again, Hai Bodong's face twitched, and a thick and long ice spear over two meters long condensed in his hand. He looked at Ling Ying with sharp eyes and said coldly: "I don't know what grudge you have with this little bastard, but if he dies here, I will be very troubled."

  As he spoke, Hai Bodong fully demonstrated his enthusiasm for playing in the peak game, and faced Ling Ying, who was six stars higher than him, and rushed forward resolutely.

  Ling Ying did not even look back, he drew out the dark curved blade from his waist, turned into a ghost and rushed forward.

  The two fought, and after only three rounds, they had guessed each other's approximate strength.

  "It's actually Dou Huang." ×2

  The expressions of the two men condensed at the same time, and they did not choose to act rashly.

  "That's all for today, kid. You're lucky." After taking a deep look at Xiao Se, Ling Ying swung his knife and sheathed it. He turned around and left calmly.

  The moment Ling Ying left, the black fog covering the alley area also quietly dissipated.

  "Little guy, how could you provoke such a person? Could it be that he has been threatened by you like me and is here to seek revenge?" Hai Bodong rolled his eyes at Xiao Se and said speechlessly.

  "Hehe, I haven't offended him. I just found out a long time ago that there was a Dou Huang who was always monitoring me. I called you over this time just in case. I didn't expect that you could beat him away in just a few moves." Xiao Se smiled and flattered him.

  "Don't give me that. The man's cultivation level is higher than mine. If a real fight breaks out, I'm sure I won't suffer a great loss." Upon hearing that, Hai Bodong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He was already regretting boarding Xiao Se's pirate ship.
