The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

The head of a small family hurriedly tried to stop his old master, but faced with the temptation of immortality, he was already deaf to everyone's words.

With a wave of his hand, he flung it away.

"Get out of my way! If you want me dead, just say so! If you stop me again, I'll kill you too!"

-----------

Seeing the situation descend into chaos, various families joined the battle, each displaying their unique abilities. What was originally a peaceful and highly civilized auction quickly turned into a gathering of barbarians, killing anyone they saw.

Bai Jinxuan's feelings at this moment were somewhat complicated.

Although she knew that the appearance of the divine artifact would inevitably cause chaos, she was still speechless with shock when she actually saw some people going completely mad for the artifact, killing their own family members and even children.

This is the true appearance of the elite families in the Upper City after they shed their disguises. At first glance, they look nothing like humans; they're just a bunch of Venus flytraps!

However, even so, I'm not much better off myself.

She moved slowly in the shadows, making sure the man in black carrying the artifact was within her sight.

Most of the people in the venue had already escaped with the help of the staff. Those who remained in the venue were the ones who came to participate in the battle royale.

A strong stench of blood permeated the ornate exhibition stand; the chaotic scene presented an opportune moment for another operation.

Although the plan to store the magical artifacts in person failed, a new opportunity has now arisen.

Bai Jinxuan kept a close eye on the situation inside the venue. The 9th-level mage cast a blocking sealing spell, trapping all the men in black inside the venue.

It can only be said that a level 9 fighter truly lives up to its name; a mere flick of a finger can cause earth-shattering destruction. If the black-clad men's coordination had been any worse, a total wipeout would have been no joke.

First, the flying swords require a mage to constantly cast shields to block them. Second, breaking the sealing magic requires two mages to work together.

In addition, they also need to send warriors to protect the three core mages from attacks. As a result, just to contend with the two large spells of the 9th-tier mage, they have almost halved their combat strength.

However, it's not necessarily true that they are at a disadvantage.

The mage's main strength lies in his fragile stats. As long as you take the initiative and prevent him from casting more large spells, even if he is a level 9 mage, he will be dragged into a tug-of-war by this group of people.

The division of labor and cooperation were perfectly demonstrated in front of them.

This was the first time Bai Jinxuan had ever seen such a well-coordinated team. The squad that was struggling against the 9th-tier mage alone was quite impressive.

The two warriors at the front used a blocking technique to deflect the attack, while the other, under his cover, quickly approached.

The slightest movement would trigger a mages to control the opponent, and what's most infuriating is that the martial artist who was parrying also knew magic.

Bai Jinxuan had seen that 9th-level mage lose his touch several times, all because of this guy.

　For the time being, even someone as strong as a level 9 cultivator can't do anything about them.

Are we really going to let them escape?

Looking at the other side, Bai Jinxuan was getting anxious as the barrier sealing the entire venue was gradually weakening.

Even a level 9 expert couldn't do anything to them. If you wait until they leave to steal the artifact, you might as well just steal it from the organizer's backstage from the beginning!

We need to find a suitable time to re-enter the market!

She made up her mind and turned her attention to another battlefield.

That was the most chaotic part of the venue, and also the focus of everyone's attention.

The man in black, carrying a divine artifact, engages in a fierce battle with the elders of various families, with the help of his four teammates.

"boom--!"

A violent explosion sounded.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out someone was dropping a bomb.

These old men, in their quest for the divine artifact, were willing to inflict heavy losses on themselves, even firing cannons right in front of their faces—they were truly fearless.

You have to understand, no matter what, they were all once family heads, so their strength goes without saying; any one of them is at least level 6.

None of these people are easy to deal with. Even if they are old and their strength has declined, their years of combat experience are still there, and they can strike really fast and fiercely.

Moreover, even if the person becomes weaker, the weapons and props are still at their peak combat power. The bombs are something that can kill a level 7 martial artist, completely making up for their lack of combat power.

Therefore, with all sorts of powerful figures displaying their abilities, the man in black holding the magical artifact box was about to reach his limit.

He called to his teammates and began to abandon the idea of ​​simply defending, instead trying to make a flanking maneuver to buy time.

This approach has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that he doesn't have to withstand the bombs head-on and can use his movement skills to deflect most of the attacks. The disadvantage is that during the deflection process, the squad's formation is exposed.

It's like a turtle losing its shell. Not only will he be unable to effectively block attacks, but due to a mistake by someone in the team, the entire squad may collapse, leaving him to fight alone.

Overall, this is a very bold move, and it would be difficult for someone who doesn't have complete confidence in themselves and their teammates to make such a decision.

Unfortunately, he could never have imagined that amidst such a chaotic melee, there was still an assassin lurking in the shadows, watching him intently.

For an assassin, letting down their guard is the perfect opportunity to strike.

Bai Jinxuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately took off, flashing into the air.

She was acutely aware of the vast difference in combat ability between herself and the man in black, so she abandoned close combat and returned to her old ways.

I can't beat you, but I'll disgust you to death!

As she curled her lips into a smile, a dozen or so bottles of potion shattered in mid-air, their contents instantly evaporating into the air and spreading everywhere.

This is not over yet.

She continued rummaging through the treasure chest, just like when she was setting up a stall outside in her past life. First, she sprinkled the seasonings on to give it a good flavor, and then it was time to add the ingredients.

A brand new ingredient, the seed of a tree spirit! This stuff is amazing, let me show you!

Several brown tree seeds scattered, and then with a sudden grab using telekinesis, these seeds burst forth like fireworks, releasing large plumes of pungent smoke that enveloped the entire venue.

After doing all this, the free-for-all was forced to stop, and everyone was affected by this sudden change.

My head was throbbing so badly I couldn't see anything, and a nameless anger welled up inside me.

"No, there's something wrong with this cigarette!"

The leader of the men in black covered his mouth and nose, clutching the artifact tightly in his arms while waking up his teammates.

However, at that moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind him.

"Shh-!"

The black blade grazed his cheek, cutting a gash in the magical mask used to conceal his face.

so close!

He held his breath, looked at the black figure in the thick smoke, and assumed a fighting stance, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Anyone who can sneak up to you silently is definitely a master among masters. This is troublesome!

Little did he know, the expert he thought he knew was so shocked by the smoke that he almost forgot his next move.

Bai Jinxuan never imagined that she would face off against her teacher, Long Xiaofeng, in this way again!

Ps:

I was so overwhelmed by the rich older sister that I just woke up. Sorry for the late update.

Volume 1: Chapter 126: The Girl Who Follows Me Like a Shadow

I can’t control that much anymore.

Even if the opponent is Coach Long, we cannot back down.

The site is ready, and we only have one chance. If we fail again this time, we will truly miss out on the magical artifact.

Recalling Mr. Long, who was somewhat impulsive but had a very good character, Bai Jinxuan took a deep breath and erased the image from her mind.

Today is different from the past. Since we have met here, we are enemies.

She tensed her legs, brandished the Red Night sword, and launched another assassination attempt.

Since her opponent was an 8th-level martial artist, Bai Jinxuan dared not hold back her moves.

The Shadowless Cloak's shielding efficiency was maximized, and the figure disappeared into the smoke, then suddenly appeared above Long Xiaofeng's head.

The new ability of the Shadowless Cloak is not only to be able to draw weapons at any time, but also to use a small amount of energy to create time-limited weapons for throwing.

Black mist condensed in mid-air, revealing the blades of three black longswords.

Because it involves teleportation and staying in the air, even Coach Long would have difficulty noticing it.

I apologize for the inconvenience, Teacher Long.

Bai Jinxuan quickly caught the long sword in mid-air, swung it out one after another, and then locked her eyes on the shadow at Long Xiaofeng's feet, her body slightly curled up.

A brief blackout flashed by, and the scene of Long Xiaofeng concentrating on dealing with the attack of flying knives from the sky came into view.

She immediately pulled the Crimson Night from the cloak at her waist again, covering her entire body with her power.

The combination of the Night Walker and the Shadowless Cloak's mechanisms is so overpowered that, under complete shielding, not only can you not feel the magic or energy, but you can't even detect changes in the shadow.

Coach Long couldn't pinpoint his true location at all. In his eyes, since the attack was coming from above, the enemy was obviously above him, so he should just be careful of what was above him.

However, the truth is that Bai Jinxuan is already standing face to face with him, ready to launch an attack.

Unfortunately, just like when I stole treasures with the Undead Secret Society before, I can't take them directly from the shadows at this distance. If I want to get the artifact, a battle with Coach Dragon is inevitable.

We need to buy some time.

Bai Jinxuan's lips twitched slightly. The pressure from an 8th-level martial artist was immense. From the moment she threw the flying knife to the moment she teleported into the shadows, less than half a second had passed, and Long Xiaofeng had already noticed his position above his head.

Given this reaction speed, if he fails to make a move and doesn't have time to dodge within one second, then what awaits him is a full-force attack from an 8th-level martial artist.

With my small frame, I'd die if I took even one hit.

However, the more dangerous it is, the more valuable the challenge becomes.

Being cautious doesn't mean always hiding your head. When you're sure you've played all your cards and have a chance to win, Bai Jinxuan will never hesitate.

Because if you hesitate, you will fail.

Taking a desperate gamble is the only hope for the weak to turn the tide.

She's not a trader, nor does she have any decent cheat codes; she can't be stable.

Since Dangdang won, she had no choice but to take a gamble and do everything she could to hold onto her hand.

At least she still has the right to sit at the table; she's a poker player. The auction isn't over yet, so why say she lost?

We must win.

Even if the opponent is Teacher Long, I will still win.

Bai Jinxuan's blood was boiling. Wasn't all that preparation for this moment?

I don't need to cause any damage to Coach Long, as long as I can take the artifact, that's enough.

Crimson night, dance with me!

"Shh-!"

The moment the rain of blades in mid-air was blocked, a whooshing sound rang out, accompanied by a dark blade light cutting through the smoke. Long Xiaofeng dodged at the last second, the blade grazing his body and leaving a long gash in his chest.

Fresh blood dripped onto the ground.

The pained Long Xiaofeng clenched his fist and slammed it into the ground. The powerful shockwave spread out, instantly dispersing the surrounding smoke and creating a safe zone of about 5 meters.

"hiss......"

He couldn't help but grin as he took out a small, concentrated vial of life-saving potion from his pocket.

It has to be said that professional assassins are incredibly cunning, using poison and smoke, and their feints are endless... By now, I don't even know how many people are on the other side; I'm just a sitting duck.

Fortunately, she was very weak.
