Cui Zhenglong paused upon hearing this, naturally thinking of a key.
He was about to speak.
When he suddenly felt the hands holding his fate tighten.
At this moment, Cui Zhenglong was consumed by terror.
He frantically gurgled, "I know, I know, don't kill me!"
Feeling the pressure ease, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, swallowed hard, and said to the deacon beside him, "Quick, go get my key!"
"It's at the very bottom of the safe!"
The deacon dared not delay and scurried inside.
Meanwhile, the scene...
Had fallen silent.
Bai Zihe was too fierce; even Cui Zhenglong had to bow and yield before him. Truly, one shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
However...
They still believed that Bai Zihe could stand against the Tang family!
Not long after.
The deacon emerged holding a key.
Cui Zhenglong hastily said, "Quick, give him the key!"
He couldn't bear this suffocating feeling, this sense of his fate being held in another's hands, for another moment!
The deacon rushed forward.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, an unexpected event occurred.
A black shadow, trailing a chilling wind, suddenly swept past the deacon.
Before he could react, the key in his hand was snatched away.
Then.
The black shadow landed at the entrance of the auction hall, the key in hand.
Everyone was stunned again.
The events of today were truly unfolding one after another.
Initially, they thought Bai Zihe was arrogant enough to disregard the Tang family and the auction hall.
Subsequent events proved that Bai Zihe had the capital for such arrogance.
But this person now...
Daring to snatch Bai Zihe's belongings, was he not aware of how to spell death!
Instantly.
All eyes followed the movement.
And upon seeing...
They were filled with relief and sudden understanding!
It turned out that the one who took the key from the deacon was Tang Beiye, the current head of the Tang family, one of the four great families of the capital!
And behind him...
Were countless Tang family disciples, and the old patriarch of the Tang family, Tang Qianqiu!
Although Tang Qianqiu was in a wheelchair now, no one dared to underestimate him.
For in his day...
He had been a formidable figure who stirred up bloody storms in the capital.
Though now crippled and in a wheelchair, "The Tiger King is old, but his prestige remains," and no one dared to slight this former king of the mountain!
The Tang family's grand mobilization was naturally for Tang Fengyu.
There would be a good show to watch!
Immediately, everyone's gaze became fervent.
"Hand over the key."
Bai Zihe threw Cui Zhenglong aside, looked at Tang Beiye, his voice filled with chilling murderous intent, "Or... die!"
The key was not to be lost; whoever dared to snatch it... would be killed, no matter how far they fled!
"Hmph."
Tang Beiye snorted coldly, about to retort.
But as his gaze swept over Bai Zihe, he saw Tang Fengyu, his limbs crippled and kneeling on the ground, and his eyes nearly burst with rage.
"Impudent child, accept your fate!"
The next moment, Tang Fengyu soared into the sky like a soaring eagle, lunging at Bai Zihe.
Beneath his immense fury, an boundless killing intent was carried.
True qi surged, and murderous intent radiated!
He had the momentum to crush Bai Zihe with a single palm!
"Hiss—"
"Another Grandmaster-level expert."
"This aura, it's at least an intermediate Grandmaster, or even an advanced Grandmaster!"
"That young man is going to be unlucky."
The crowd was shocked and once again looked at Bai Zihe with pity.
But there...
Was nothing!
This made countless people's eyes widen.
What was going on? He was right there a moment ago, where did he go?
Only Yao Ke'er remained calm.
Her junior disciple's strength...
Tsk tsk, it was truly unimaginable.
However, Yao Ke'er was also surprised, as she hadn't seen how her junior disciple had disappeared.
Just as they were searching for Bai Zihe's figure, a hand appeared on Tang Beiye's neck, lifting him up as if he were a chick.
Then...
He was slammed violently to the ground with a deafening crash.
"Boom!"
The immense force even made the auction house tremble, and the crowd involuntarily closed their eyes.
Tang Beiye was instantly dazed.
Before he could recover, Bai Zihe was upon him, also breaking his limbs.
This time...
Father and son were alike, a somewhat neat pairing.
Numb.
Everyone was numb.
They had thought Tang Beiye was a king, and he would unleash his world-shattering fury here.
Unexpectedly... he died upon arrival, immediately crippled by Bai Zihe.
The way these people looked at Bai Zihe...
Had transformed into an extremely peculiar gaze.
Where did this brat crawl out from, to instantly defeat the contemporary head of the Tang family, one of the four great families.
This is outrageous...
Is there any room left for others to live?
What were his limits?
"Whoosh!"
Just then, a minor change in the scene caused everyone to turn pale with shock, their livers and gallbladders cracking!
Tang Qianqiu...
Had actually stood up from his wheelchair!
It was known that he was once a Grandmaster. Due to his disability, his strength had greatly diminished, causing him to retreat behind the scenes of the Tang family and take to a wheelchair.
But now...
Tang Qianqiu was not disabled at all.
If his mighty Grandmaster power were unleashed...
It would undoubtedly be a world-ending catastrophe!
