Chapter 42: Selling Soul Bones, A Full Set!
"Sect Master Tang, you are after all the leader of a sect. Don't you find it ridiculous to say these words now?"
Hearing Tang Xiao's words, Sword Douluo couldn't help but laugh: "Previously, our sect master also tried to mediate the conflict between the two sides, but what attitude did you show then? We still remember how you rejected us."
"This"
"I"
Hearing this, Tang Xiao was left speechless, his eyes wide open.
How could the situation now be the same as before?
When he first arrived here and saw Qin Xiao, how arrogant and spirited was he?
He never even dreamed that the two brothers would fail to defeat a 92nd level Title Douluo.
"This is really over."
Gradually, Tang Xiao fell into despair.
The light in his eyes slowly faded.
"Off you go."
Qin Xiao knew that Tang Xiao's mentality had completely collapsed, knowing that death was inevitable, and his spirit and vigor had dissipated.
With that, he struck down with a palm, and electricity enveloped Tang Xiao.
In just a breath's time, Tang Xiao, the 95th level Title Douluo and the master of Clear Sky Clan, turned into ashes, completely disappearing from the Douluo Continent.
"Ding ding dang dang."
After Tang Xiao's death, the soul bones he had refined fell to the ground, clinking against each other.
"Truly the master of Clear Sky Clan, possessing as many as six soul bones."
Qin Xiao's eyes lit up, and with a wave of his hand, all six soul bones fell into his grasp.
It was an unexpected surprise.
"He's dead, the mighty master of Clear Sky Clan, just like that?"
Far away, Flender and others were waking up from a dream.
It was hard to imagine that such a significant figure as Tang Xiao would die right before their eyes.
Even the soul bones that originally belonged to Tang Xiao were now scattered.
How tragic!
"Thunder Emperor is mighty!"
"I, Zhao Wuji, am thoroughly convinced!"
Zhao Wuji's face showed utter fanaticism.
In his view, a real man should be decisive in killing like Qin Xiao.
No matter who you are, in my eyes, you're no different from a cabbage!
And Qin Xiao's character was very similar to Zhao Wuji's own. Indifferent to life and death, ready to fight if not convinced.
"These soul bones are all pretty average in age."
At this time, Qin Xiao had roughly distinguished the age of the many soul bones.
Of course, his "average" was not ordinary at all – they were all between twenty thousand and fifty thousand years.
Normally, these soul bones would be considered top-tier.
Otherwise, why would Tang Xiao, as the master of a sect, choose to refine them?
But Qin Xiao was not impressed.
That's right.
He was that audacious.
Having come to the Douluo Continent and already becoming a Title Douluo, Qin Xiao believed that not refining six soul bones of over a hundred thousand years was a disservice to himself.
"Sect Master Ning, does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect buy soul bones?"
He looked at Ning Fengzhi and asked.
"Soul bones, even in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, are rare treasures," Ning Fengzhi considered.
Especially soul bones over ten thousand years old – they were even more scarce. Not to mention, even the two elders of his sect, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, hadn't completed a full set of soul bones yet.
As for the origin of the soul bones, Ning Fengzhi wondered if there would be any problem buying them. Even if the Clear Sky Clan came knocking, it wouldn't matter much.
"Sell them all to you, name your price," Qin Xiao said, passing the set of soul bones to Ning Fengzhi.
Honestly, he had no use for them, and it was better to sell them to Ning Fengzhi.
Of course, Qin Xiao had his own reasons.
First, to liquidate assets.
Second, to repay Ning Fengzhi for his assistance.
And third, perhaps most importantly, to create an enemy for the Clear Sky Clan and drive a wedge between the two major sects.
What would the Clear Sky Clan, the so-called number one sect, feel knowing their Sect Master's soul bones ended up with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Qin Xiao believed Ning Fengzhi couldn't resist the temptation of these soul bones. After all, possessing them would be like slapping the Clear Sky Clan in the face, wouldn't it?
"What? Sell them all to me?"
"This is a complete set of soul bones!"
Indeed, just as Qin Xiao expected, Ning Fengzhi was shocked.
He hadn't expected Qin Xiao to leave not even a single soul bone.
More importantly, the value of a complete set of soul bones was much higher than buying them individually.
He was incredibly tempted.
"Sect Master, I have a feeling this lightning-struck kid is setting us up. Let's be cautious," Sword Douluo advised Ning Fengzhi, setting up a soul power barrier to speak privately.
"Uncle Jian, can't I see his motive?" Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "It's a blatant scheme. But the value of this set of soul bones is too great. Besides, with Tang Xiao's soul bones, it's enough to complete your and Bone Douluo's set, boosting your strengths significantly."
"Even Bone Douluo might break through his bottleneck and become a 96th level Title Douluo with these!"
"Can I resist this temptation? Even knowing this kid is digging a pit for us, to strain our relations with the Clear Sky Clan, I can't help but buy these soul bones."
With Ning Fengzhi's wisdom, he understood Qin Xiao's intention, yet he couldn't help but be moved!
"Ah, this kid's scheming is too deep," Sword Douluo helplessly shook his head, raising his estimate of Qin Xiao.
A person with talent, strength, and such deep scheming - who could be his opponent in the future?
"Uncle Jian, actually, Qin Xiao selling us the soul bones is also repaying us a favor."
"He could have made this deal with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan or the Spirit Hall, achieving the same effect."
Ning Fengzhi added.
Sword Douluo raised an eyebrow, "So, we should thank him for using us?"
"Something like that," Ning Fengzhi replied with a helpless smile.
"Sect Master Ning, Elder Jian, have you decided?" Qin Xiao asked, eyeing the two behind the soul force barrier.
"If it's troublesome, or if you don't need them, I'll find another buyer."
"Haha, Brother Qin, don't misunderstand. Uncle Jian and I were just discussing a fair price to offer you," Ning Fengzhi reassured Qin Xiao after Sword Douluo removed the barrier.
"Oh? What price do you have in mind, Sect Master Ning?" Qin Xiao asked curiously.
Ning Fengzhi held up three fingers, "Thirty million gold soul coins!"
"Normally, each of these soul bones in your hand would be worth over two million, especially the torso and head soul bones, which are worth at least three million each."
Hearing this, Qin Xiao smiled, "So, Sect Master Ning is offering me a high price."
"No," Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "Selling a complete set of soul bones together, the price naturally doubles. The price I'm offering is not high, just fair."
