Chapter 125: Fight If You Must!

The one speaking was none other than Yan Dongping, Sect Master of the Liuli Sect.

Supported by an Integration Stage elder, she walked into the ruins of the auction stage and stared at Lu Tianyu with a grave expression: "Are you a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"

She found Lu Tianyu's identity somewhat unfathomable.

Being able to control the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles and producing a Sword Talisman—who exactly was this person?

She worried that if she offended someone who should not be offended, the Liuli Sect would be plunged into an irredeemable situation.

Tian Shu and the middle-aged woman also stared at Lu Tianyu in confusion, thinking to themselves, who exactly is this person?

They shared the same thoughts as Yan Dongping.

Not only them, but everyone present was curious about Lu Tianyu's identity.

"Who am I?" A curve appeared at the corner of Lu Tianyu's mouth. "You've been at this for so long and still don't know who I am, yet you dare to target me so blatantly?"

"To curry favor with the Joyous Union Heaven Sect, your Glazed Sect has abandoned all shame, repeatedly trying to kill me!"

"A bunch of scurrying rats like you are not worthy of knowing my identity!"

"If you want to fight, then let's fight! I'll take on whatever you've got!"

His resonant and powerful voice shook the entire venue, leaving everyone stunned.

This guy is too arrogant!

Not qualified to know your identity? Who do you think you are!

Yan Dongping coldly snorted: "No matter who you are, please return the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles and do not interfere with our auction!"

"To tell you the truth, these Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles were entrusted to my Liuli Sect for auction by a senior, and this senior is someone you cannot afford to provoke!"

The Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles had been brought out for her to auction by a senior off-stage.

Seeing Lu Tianyu being so overbearing, she thought of using this person to suppress him.

Lu Tianyu sneered: "You have the nerve to say I'm interfering with the auction? Who is the one really interfering?"

"If you want me to give up this item, you can cripple your own cultivation and kneel to apologize to me! The elder who attacked me must commit suicide to atone for their crimes, and then I might let you continue your auction normally!"

His tone was firm.

The more he looked at Yan Dongping, the more disgusted he felt.

They relied solely on selling women to support the Liuli Sect, and to find backers, they were willing to sell every woman in the sect.

Yan Dongping was so angry that her chest heaved violently, her face turning livid: "Boy, don't go too far!"

"Don't force me to summon our Liuli Sect's Supreme Elder to kill you on the spot!"

As a Sect Master, she had been polite enough to Lu Tianyu.

But this brat was not only impervious to reason but also kept pushing his luck; he was too rampant!

Tian Shu also said coldly: "Brat, this Sword Talisman of yours is just a one-time item; who are you trying to scare!"

"Do you believe that I will send a message to our Sect Master right now and have him send a Great Vehicle Stage elder to kill you?"

"I guarantee you won't live for more than three hours!"

"Heh!" Lu Tianyu was not afraid in the slightest. "Please, hurry up and invite them!"

"But before he arrives, I will use this Sword Talisman to kill you all first!"

He wore the expression of someone who had nothing to lose.

Tian Shu and the others were so angry they nearly lost control, their eyes bloodshot: "You..."

They truly had no way to deal with the fearless Lu Tianyu.

In reality, they were just making empty threats.

At this moment, they were also somewhat wary of Lu Tianyu's background.

Just then, a rough voice rang out: "Kid, you're too arrogant!"

"I'll give you two choices, and you must pick one!"

"First, kneel and apologize to me, leave the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles behind, leave all the treasures and Spirit Stones on your person, and then get lost!"

"Second, acknowledge me as your master along with the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, and the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles can be yours to use. I'll give you ten breaths to consider!"

"If you choose neither, I will kill you on the spot!"

Lu Tianyu turned his head and was surprised to find that the speaker was the bearded man in seat number three.

This person must be the one who brought the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles for auction.

Clearly, this person participated in the bidding for the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles only to drive up the price, not because he actually wanted to buy them.

The aura on this person was as deep as the Abyss; it was highly likely he was a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator.

However, letting him choose was absolutely impossible; the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles had to be his.

Lu Tianyu was just about to speak.

Suddenly, a cold snort rang out: "For a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator to intimidate a junior, you have no regard for the dignity of our peers."

"Young master, you need not pay him any mind; you may proceed as you wish, no one here dares to do anything to you."

The one speaking was the man in the silver robe.

He nodded and smiled at Lu Tianyu, then looked at the bearded man, his gaze turning sharp.

The bearded man snorted: "Just say you have designs on the person; why use me as a stepping stone!"

"You and I are both Emperor Realm cultivators; do you think I'm afraid of you?"

The silver-robed man stared at the bearded man with a mocking smile: "Dressed up like this, aren't you afraid of being recognized?"

"If I were to say your name, would there be people coming from ten thousand miles away to hunt you down?"

"The origins of your Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles are unknown; shouldn't they be returned to their rightful owner?"

There was more to his words than met the ear.

"You!"

The bearded man's beard twitched violently a few times upon hearing this, looking very angry, "You can protect that kid now, but can you protect him forever?"

"Since you have spoken, I will give you some face."

"Let the young people's affairs be resolved by the young people."

"Let him have a match with Tian Shiguang; whoever wins gets to auction for my Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, based on the final price they bid, how about that?"

The bearded man then looked at Lu Tianyu, and then looked at Tian Shiguang.

The silver-robed man coldly rebuked: "The auction should follow the auction's rules, the highest bidder wins!"

"This young master has always followed the rules, but self-righteous people with poor character have colluded to suppress others and prevent a normal auction!"

Cold light flickered in his eyes: "If there is to be a duel, corresponding compensation must be given before it can proceed."

"However, this mainly depends on the wishes of the parties involved; we are only making a suggestion and cannot force anyone to fight."

The silver-robed man's meaning was very clear.

A fight is possible, but it must be with the other party's consent.

If both sides agree, Tian Shiguang needs to compensate Lu Tianyu with some Spirit Stones, because he violated the rules first.

Tian Shiguang gritted his teeth and said: "We can fight, and compensation is also fine."

"But he must rely on his true ability, he cannot rely on the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles or other things; those do not belong to his own strength at all!"

He stared viciously at Lu Tianyu: "Do you dare to have a fair fight!"

He was still confident in his own strength.

He was, after all, one of the top ten prodigies in the Changheng Star Domain; this kid would definitely not be his match without relying on external forces.

Lu Tianyu first bowed and cupped his hands toward the silver-robed man: "Many thanks to the senior for supporting justice!"

"This junior does not object to a duel with him, but compensation is unnecessary; this junior suggests changing it to a different wager."

"It is just that this junior fears they will renege or disagree; the Glazed Sect and the Joyous Union Heaven Sect have always liked to go back on their word, and breaking promises is a common occurrence for them."

As soon as these words were spoken, Tian Shiguang immediately said angrily: "This young master's word is worth its weight in gold, when have I ever broken a promise!"

"If we are to bet, then let's bet, because I cannot afford to lose!"

"I think you are simply afraid to fight, afraid that I will beat you to death!"

Yan Dongping was also trembling with anger: "The kid is acting smug after getting an advantage!"

"We can sign a Blood Pact; whoever breaks their word will have their soul and spirit destroyed!"

"Do you dare?"

She had absolute confidence in Tian Shiguang.
