Chapter 500 Intrusion of an immortal

Xin Rui's heart pounded as an uninvited presence jolted her senses. The stranger's strength eluded her, fueling her unease. Swiftly reclaiming the items on display, she unsheathed her own weapon, directing the gleaming saber toward the intruder. "Who are you?" she demanded, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. The intruder's response was a mocking chuckle. "A cute weapon you've got there," he remarked, his tone dripping with amusement.

He raised his index finger and pointed at her.

A ray of scarlet light shot from his finger and struck her chest. She didn't even see the attack coming at her.

But, the blood of the dragon inside her instinctively moved her body slightly aside. It missed her heart just by 2 millimeters and saved her from instant death.

"Ho, that was some survival instinct you have there." The intruder, with a hint of surprise on his face, had acknowledged her evade. "For that, I will you a second chance to live. Hand over your storage rings."

Meanwhile, at VIP BOX NO. 8;

"Everyone, keep your aura suppressed," Mark gave quick orders as soon as he inspected the details of the intruder.

"An immortal?" Sylvandria whispered to him.

Mark nodded, "Yes, but not exactly. It seems his realm was suppressed to only demigod realm."

"Hmm, I guess that is natural," Sylvandria nodded in agreement, "An immortal in the mortal plane of existence will unnecessarily attract the attention of the guardian deity."

Mark remembered the figure that had given him the ancient holy beasts and disappeared without any trace. He promised to deliver all the adamantium available in the mortal plane but has yet to hand over even the first installment.

"Anyway, it's best to exercise caution. He is not the type of enemy we want to fight right now." Mark further warned them not to hesitate to escape when things go out of hand.

Sylvandria was quite surprised by Mark's words. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you the same Lu Zhen as the one I met at our home?"

Mark looked at her with a grim face and answered, "I didn't have anything to lose back then. Now, I have so much to lose. There's no need to put myself to risk on…"

"Argh…" The scream from the center of the field interrupted their conversation. As Mark turned his head aside, he saw the intruder grabbing the throat of Wang Zhongwei, the Auction House Master.

It wasn't just throat-grabbing. As every second passed away, the legendary realm expert had his life force rapidly absorbed by the intruder.

Eventually, in the span of four mere seconds, all that was left was the dried flesh of Wang Zhongwei. Along with the life force, it looked like the water and the blood contained in his body was also sucked away.

*Thud*

The Auction House Master fell to the ground and Xin Rui was seen shivering in fear. It wasn't a manifestation of her own fear; it was more like the dragon bloodline inside her that was afraid of the enemy. Dragons were supposed to be fiercest but they are intelligent enough to judge who is an insignificant ant and who the behemoth is.

Having just defeated the Auction House Master, the intruder locked eyes with Xin Rui, his expression icy. As he advanced, Xin Rui, calm but cautious, slowly brought out all the hidden storage rings from her own stash. Picture it like she's pulling these magical rings out of thin air, one by one, showing her control over these mysterious objects. The intruder watched, silent, as she revealed her collection, a quiet but powerful demonstration of her abilities.

"Good." The intruder smiled with a nod. "I hope everything is there. If I find out that there is something wrong later on, then…"

"Then, what?" A voice interrupted him before a blinding flash of light appeared on the field. Amidst the chaos, terrified onlookers halted in their escape. Their gaze was fixated on the scene where a regular-looking teenager stood beside a girl. She had dragon wings and horns, like a mythical creature come to life. The hushed whispers spread through the crowd as they witnessed this surreal pairing, the boy and the dragon-like girl, a living tableau amidst the fleeing masses.

"Your eminence?" Xin Rui's astonishment mirrored in her wide eyes, mirroring the shock of the departing guests and those who had confidence in the Void Temple's might. The room buzzed with a shared sense of surprise, a collective gasp echoing through the once-confident crowd.

The dragon girl glanced at her back, "You are the representative? Reaching the 8-circle realm at such a young age is indeed an achievement. Not bad for my descendant."

Xin Rui's heart rate increased further when she heard those words. With a simple glance from this girl, she felt like her secret was out, "I… I… I…"

As she was looking for words of excuse, the teenage boy bickered with her with an unsightly expression, "That's your young master's descendant, you indecent woman. You never gave birth to anyone. It was his bloodline running through her veins."

"Hey, you brat. Mind some manners, will ya? You have forgotten who brought you to this world when you were just a pup? I practically raise you even though you are not one of us," The dragon girl argued back.

"Yeah, right." The boy snorted, "You gave word to my father to bring me alongside your young master to a safe location. It was your duty to protect us, but you abandoned us to fend for ourselves in a jungle full of beasts when he was a baby and I was only two years old and ran off to rule some forest in the primitive land. Talk about disobedience and oath-breaking…"

"You ungrateful brat…" the dragon girl's face reddened in embarrassment and anger. She opened her mouth widely and chomped on his head, but couldn't hurt him a bit.

Xin Rui's face paled as she fell on her butt.

With his head entirely inside her mouth, the boy then raised his hands and grabbed her horns, trying to break them with brute force.

The intruder stood bewildered, his focus stolen by the absurd sight of the interrupting clowns. Instead of confronting him, they bickered among themselves, creating a chaotic scene.

"Hehehe… hehehe… hahahaha"

Evil laughter burst from him, filling the coliseum and forcing a pause in their brawl.
