Chapter 852: Zhao Zhao Jingyu

When Li Li Fengyi's cold voice rang out, Li Luo also fixed his gaze on the head of that group; it was a tall young man in black robes, with crimson tiger patterns carved across half his face. When he grinned, revealing rows of sharp white teeth, he gave off a ferocious, beast-like aura.

Could this person be Zhao Zhao Jingyu, the Head of the Tiger Division from the Li Li Tianwang lineage?

I never expected to run into him here.

Upon hearing Li Li Fengyi's words, a fierce light appeared on Zhao Zhao Jingyu's face. He stared at her and said with a chilling smile, "What? Only you, Li Li Fengyi, can bid? Can't I? Has your Li Li Tianwang lineage become so domineering now?"

Then he turned his gaze to Liang Xiong beside him and said, "Hall Master Liang Xiong, am I not allowed to bid for items here?"

Hearing this, Liang Xiong looked embarrassed and said, "Of course you can. Our Black Cloud Market is here to do business; anyone is free to compete."

Since Zhao Zhao Jingyu was from the Li Li Tianwang lineage, Liang Xiong naturally dared not provoke such a background.

Zhao Zhao Jingyu sneered, then shifted his gaze to Li Luo, who had remained silent, and said, "I heard a country bumpkin from your Longya Division has returned from the Outer Shenzhou. Is that you?"

His domineering temperament was exposed without reservation in his words.

"I heard a fool from the Li Li Tianwang lineage threatened to take one of my hands. Could that be you?" Li Luo said with a smile.

Zhao Zhao Jingyu's expression immediately turned gloomy. He stared at Li Luo like a beast and said chillingly, "Country bumpkin, do you want to die?"

Boom!

Before his words had even fully settled, Li Li Fengyi's willow brows shot up. Her Phasing Power erupted entirely within her body, a red-tasseled spear materialized in her hand, and she thrust it directly at Zhao Zhao Jingyu, the spear tip wrapped in rainbow light.

However, facing Li Li Fengyi's attack, Zhao Zhao Jingyu remained utterly calm. He waved his hand to signal the sealed-marquis experts accompanying him not to intervene, then clenched his five fingers and punched out.

Roar!

As the fist light whistled through the air, a tiger's roar emerged from it, as if it had transformed into a giant tiger's claw filled with killing intent, clashing directly with the spear light.

The energy shockwave erupted, but it was contained within this small area, as the sealed-marquis experts on both sides neutralized the residual waves entirely.

In the clash, Zhao Zhao Jingyu clearly held the upper hand. His figure remained motionless, while Li Li Fengyi's slender body trembled, and she stepped back half a pace, her face turning even colder.

"Two honored guests, please show mercy; this place is not suitable for fighting." At this moment, Liang Xiong hurriedly spoke up, trying to mediate with a bitter smile. If two ordinary Earth-Shadow General juniors were fighting here, he would have kicked them out immediately, but with Zhao Zhao Jingyu and Li Li Fengyi, he clearly could not afford to provoke them.

Moreover, while a clash between these two was manageable, he feared that the sealed-marquis experts following them might not be able to hold back and intervene; the destruction caused then would be immense.

Zhao Zhao Jingyu grinned and said, "Li Li Fengyi, you are still so unruly. You attack at the slightest disagreement. Does the world mean that if you, Li Li Fengyi, bid on something, no one else is allowed to match the price?"

Li Li Fengyi's eyes were icy as she said, "I bid five million per tooth."

She looked at the person auctioning the dragon teeth, who shivered with excitement and cried out, "Excellent!"

"Then I bid six million per tooth," Zhao Zhao Jingyu said cheerfully.

Li Li Fengyi was about to speak immediately, but Li Luo quickly stopped her: "Second Sister, there is no need for a quarrel of pride. This is a fool's price. Although our family is wealthy and powerful, there is no need to compete with a spendthrift."

Six million per dragon tooth; five teeth would be thirty million. Even if they were lucky enough to refine a single drop of Dragon Tooth Spirit Marrow, it would barely break even. In terms of value, this was already extremely unprofitable.

Li Li Fengyi originally didn't want to listen, but Li Luo's sarcastic words made her pause, and her anger gradually subsided. She snorted coldly at Zhao Zhao Jingyu and mocked, "Fool, if you want them, take them."

Seeing this, Zhao Zhao Jingyu felt deeply disappointed. He then looked at Li Luo and said, "You are truly annoying."

Li Luo shrugged and said, "Come and hit me then."

Zhao Zhao Jingyu grinned and said, "Don't rush; there will be opportunities. It is perfectly normal for a few people to die in the Dark Domain. By then, even if the Li Li Tianwang lineage seeks retribution, it will be useless. After all, over the years, too many people from both sides have secretly killed each other in the Dark Domain."

Hearing this, Li Luo said with surprise, "Then won't I be getting five dragon teeth for free?"

Zhao Zhao Jingyu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned much gloomier, his gaze even more ferocious. Did Li Luo mean that the five dragon teeth he was buying now would ultimately end up benefiting this country bumpkin?

"If you truly want these five dragon teeth, as long as you bow your head and apologize to Miss Qin Yi right now, I will give them to you," Zhao Zhao Jingyu said mockingly.

Li Luo shook his head and refused seriously: "No rush. It's just a matter of storing them with you for a little while longer."

Zhao Zhao Jingyu laughed angrily, his eyes flashing with constant ferocity: "Even Li Li Qingfeng dares not speak to me like that. Do you think you are worthy?"

Li Luo said, "Is there a possibility that he simply didn't want to say such boring nonsense to you?"

Li Li Fengyi couldn't help but chuckle; Li Luo's skill in being sarcastic was truly at a very advanced level.

Provoked repeatedly by Li Luo's sarcasm, Zhao Zhao Jingyu must have been furious in his heart. Surprisingly, however, he did not lose his temper and explode. Instead, he grinned at Li Luo for a while, then waved his hand to finalize the dragon tooth transaction. He didn't say another word of nonsense and directly turned and left with his people.

"Zhao Zhao Jingyu is famous for being domineering and ruthless. Since you provoked him this time, it seems there will be no shortage of life-and-death battles in the Dark Domain," Deng Deng Fengxian said calmly from the side.

Anyone could see that Zhao Zhao Jingyu hadn't backed down in the end; he had merely concealed his killing intent within his heart.

"This guy is a madman. It is said that when he fights, he never holds back; his methods are extremely ruthless. Even among his peers in the Li Li Tianwang lineage, many have been severely injured by him," Li Li Fengyi said.

"No fear. We have the 'Unbeaten Venerable.' No matter how crazy Zhao Zhao Jingyu is, we stand in an unbeatable position," Li Luo said, patting Li Jingtang's shoulder.

"Ah?" Hearing this, Li Jingtang's face was filled with confusion.

Li Li Fengyi gave him an eye-roll.

Li Luo smiled and said, "Just now, I saw three young men following Zhao Zhao Jingyu. I imagine they must be the heads of the other three divisions. Looking at it this way, the number of division heads entering the Dark Domain should be four?"

"Will there be sealed-marquis experts from the Li Li Tianwang lineage following them?" He asked this question directed at Li Feng.

Hearing this, Li Feng shook his head and said, "Although our grievances with the Li Li Tianwang lineage are deep, both sides are ultimately wealthy and powerful families. Therefore, to prevent completely tearing off the face, there are some unwritten rules between us. The most straightforward one is that elders do not attack juniors."

"So, under normal circumstances, the opposing sealed-marquis experts will not attack the juniors."

Li Luo nodded. That was good. If they only had to deal with the four division heads of the Li Li Tianwang lineage, there was nothing for their side to fear.

"Let us move out as well."

With the dragon teeth intercepted midway, Li Luo lost interest in staying at the Black Cloud Gathering. After discussing with everyone, he bid farewell to Hall Master Liang Xiong, boarded the tower ship, and headed straight for the distance.

About ten or so minutes passed like this.

Standing on the tower ship, Li Luo narrowed his eyes and saw a vast expanse of black stone pillars rising from the ground in the distance. Carved upon the stone pillars were numerous ancient, obscure runes. The energy of heaven and earth constantly converged and flowed into the stone pillars.

In the center of countless stone pillars lay a long stone staircase, which extended upward, finally reaching a high platform.

At the location of the high platform, the void showed signs of rupture. A pitch-black crack, about several zhang in length, appeared there, glaring and bright, like a great door leading to hell.

Before the great door, figures could occasionally be seen coming and going.

Gazing at that pitch-black crack, Li Luo understood in his heart that this was their destination for this journey.

Xi Ling Jing Dark Domain.
