Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 84 Those who kill will always be killed.

The ashes ignited a fire in my heart.

Even Saint-level experts dare not ignore his existence!

With a slight flick of the short blade, his figure transformed into a blur, appearing in the blink of an eye on the other side of his opponent, the blade tracing a graceful arc across his neck.

"Pay the price for your arrogance!"

Ashes fell from the blade, and the expected scene of a head falling off and blood gushing out did not occur.

The figure in black robes remained standing there quietly, as if it had remained unchanged since time immemorial.

"It was just an illusion?"

Ash's anger intensified. The king of the underworld had been tricked by the enemy, and he couldn't swallow his anger.

That said, the phantom before us was indeed quite extraordinary.

It's important to know that distinguishing illusions is an essential skill for the professions of rangers and thieves, and over the years, it has almost become an intuition.

Ash can accurately identify any clone created from any type of magic element immediately.

Now, however, there is no way to tell!

Ash's face was gloomy. To make matters worse, the enemy had discovered his location, while he knew nothing about the enemy.

The fact that the Stalkers were brought into the spotlight is undoubtedly their biggest failure and irony.

He didn't want to be a clown in a fit of rage and incompetence on stage, and he already had plans to leave.

However, the next second.

A series of phantom figures suddenly gathered around him.

Ash dared not be careless: "Trying to use the same trick again? You're underestimating me..."

Faced with the strange weapons attacking from all sides, he swung the short blade in his hand, but without exception, the result was the same as before: the blade sliced ​​through the air, without any real feeling of contact with matter.

Is it just a smokescreen? Why would the other party do that? Is it to make fun of him and see him make a fool of himself?

No, it's very likely that it's interfering with my prediction...

Ash, unwilling to continue the entanglement, entered Shadow Travel mode, instantly appearing in the air a dozen meters directly in front of him, and then plummeted downwards.

Since you can't catch any fish, make the decisive move to haul in the net. Before leaving, don't forget to destroy the prize. Absolutely do not give the other side any chance to taste victory, otherwise it will be a complete and utter defeat.

Countless phantoms attacked from all directions.

Ash entered Shadow Travel mode again, his figure lightly landing on the ground, one hand supporting him, a short blade flashing with cold light.

"I will mercifully grant you a painless death. Rest in peace..."

The distance is about two hundred meters, and it will end in less than a breath.

Ovisja, who was leading the way, stopped and turned around to look behind him, his eyes blazing with soul fire.

"Is something wrong?" Liadrin looked confused, unaware of the impending danger.

At this moment, at the crossroads of destiny, time seems to stand still, and the swirling snowflakes freeze before our eyes.

A faster figure appeared, arriving first despite being behind. The air parted in its wake, creating a sonic boom shockwave that shattered the windows of roadside shops.

There was absolutely no chance to react; the sound reached the senses even later.

Ash looked in horror at the sword tip piercing his chest, blood exploding like rain.

"Rest in peace!" The same sigh seemed to whisper death in his ear.

"How is that possible!"

The ruthless killers who take the lives of others never imagined that one day retribution would fall upon them.

The ashes, cracking and ready to burst, watched helplessly as the world tilted, then collapsed to the ground in despair.

When he ruthlessly took the lives of others, he never imagined that one day his own life would be lost so easily.

Grand Duke Nan Shi will definitely avenge me!

Ash, with his last breath, reluctantly moved his gaze up the nearby boots, trying to discern the enemy's face.

If an investigation is conducted afterward and a soul-summoning ritual is performed, the last scene he witnessed will provide important clues.

Tai'an coldly delivered the final blow.

This person attacked the phantom without hesitation, showing no intention of negotiation, and was clearly not someone who would show mercy.

He who kills will be killed by others.

You kill me once, I'll kill you back once, it's fair...

He kept trying to convince himself to reduce his guilt about killing. He experienced a slight emotional fluctuation, but quickly regained his composure.

The falling snow gradually covered the traces on the ground.

Tai'an took away Ash's corpse.

The purpose was not to eliminate clues and make it more difficult for the city's police to solve the case, but rather because they felt that littering was quite rude.

Especially since the other party died such a gruesome death, it might scare any children passing by...

"Perhaps it could be used to create undead creatures?"

Taian thought about his profession as a wizard. Although it was just a cover to hide his true power, it didn't stop him from making it look more convincing.

Night Never Returns Auction House.

The roadsides, covered in snow, were lined with all kinds of vehicles, but the bad weather did not seem to dampen the guests' enthusiasm for participating in the auction.

In the Maple Family's black carriage, the coachman, old Paul, huddled tightly in his army-green cotton overcoat. As people age, they are always more sensitive to the cold than when they were young.

"Young Master Tai'an!"

Hearing the calls from the outside world, Greenfield put down his newspaper, opened the door, and got out of the car.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting..."

Using the black card with gold trim, Taian led Greenfield into the Nightless Auction House, following behind the bustling crowd.

A deposit is required before participating in the auction.

The deposit for participating in the normal stage is 10 gold coins, and the deposit for participating in all stages is 100 gold coins.

The staff initially didn't think much of the two young men, who arrived empty-handed, treating them as ordinary customers. However, their demeanor immediately became incredibly humble after Tai'an dropped off a large bag of Jinlong products.

Those who use spatial rings are all important figures.

Unless they are extremely favored, the children of ordinary nobles are not necessarily eligible!

"What's the commission rate for consignment sales here?" Tai'an asked the person in charge.

"Ten percent for amounts under one hundred gold coins. Five percent for amounts over one hundred gold coins." The fat manager raised his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses.

"I have something to auction off."

Tai'an took out a life potion of perfect quality and placed it on the counter.

After inspecting the product, the chubby manager nodded in approval: "Excellent! It is indeed of perfect quality. If you have any surplus stock, we can purchase it for 120 Jinlong coins per bottle."

"Let's test the waters at an auction..."

Tai'an took the handwritten receipt from the chubby manager and casually put it into his spatial ring.

"Hello, would it be convenient for me to upgrade your VIP card?"

What changes will occur after the upgrade?

"You can go up to the second floor! It's very noisy on the first floor, with too many people and a lot of noise. The second floor is much more spacious."

Replacing the black card with a gold border with a pure silver one actually lowers the overall style.

To reach the next level of gold, a transaction volume of one thousand gold coins is required.

They took the bidding paddle from the chubby manager. Guided by a staff member at the auction, the two ascended the spiraling wooden staircase.

Compared to the densely packed crowd on the first floor, the seats on the second floor were more spread out, occupying only about one-third of the space, and they weren't even full.

Taian and Greenfield sat further inside.
