Strongest Soldier

The man's name was obviously directed at him.    

He was puzzled in his heart, but he still calmly raised his head on the surface. He faced that person's intimidating eyes and asked: "Who are you?"    

Lee Hongtian's voice was calm and unhurried. Even when facing someone with such a strong aura, he didn't show any signs of fear.    

"I've been ordered to retrieve something from you."    

After receiving Lee Hongtian's reply, that cyan-robed hunchback's eyes immediately emitted a bloodthirsty ray of light. That ray of light was firmly locked onto Lee Hongtian's face, as if it could pierce a hole through his face.    

There was no need to think about it, it definitely wasn't a good thing.    

Lee Hongtian frowned and said coldly, "What is it?"    

Hearing that, that cyan robed hunchback's eyes flashed with a cold light. He went straight for Lee Hongtian and said, "Your life."    

These three short words were filled with killing intent.    

At this moment, a fierce killing intent burst out from his body and rushed straight at Lee Hongtian. At the same time, his body trembled, and he took off the azure-green robe that he wore, revealing his hump. Only then did Lee Hongtian see that he was not 'humpbacked', but that there was a huge black box on his back.    

He had just been wrapped by the azure robe, and this person's body was even shorter than an ordinary person by half, so it gave others the illusion that he was a hunchback.    

In reality, under the cover of the azure robe, he stood perfectly straight. After the robe was removed, his imposing manner suddenly rose up.    

In that instant, the power of a strong practitioner burst out, allowing Lee Hongtian to see that this person's cultivation was at least above the Middle Period of Deification. Even if he did not reach the Late Period of Deification, he was at least on the verge of breaking through.    

However, what grudges did such an expert have with him? Why was he here to take his life?    

Lee Hongtian was confused, but in reality, the situation in front of him did not allow him to think too much. After the old man took off his azure robe, he turned his ankle and took off the black box on his back.    

Before Lee Hongtian could see the situation clearly, he saw the wrist he used to hold the black box shake. In the next moment, dozens of black silver needles shot towards all the vital points on Lee Hongtian's body.    

The speed was enough to make anyone click their tongue!    

Lee Hongtian's reaction was also very fast. When he saw the person's wrist shake, he had already moved away and did a somersault in the air, causing his body to fly away.    

Even though he had warned them beforehand, he had barely managed to avoid these dozens of silver needles.    

In that instant, if he had not reacted fast enough, perhaps he would have already fallen on the ground as a dead man, because just the location of that silver needle was enough to kill him. Not to mention, the silver needle was shining with a black luster in the air, it was most likely a highly toxic poison.    

"He actually tried to kill us!" Lee Hongtian, who just stabilized himself, couldn't help but curse silently.    

Before he could catch his breath, Man in Black turned around and shook his wrist again.    

This time, before Lee Hongtian could see the movement of his wrist, he had already jumped and dodged to the back.    

"Good skill, but next time, let's see if you're that lucky." The old man's eyes turned cold, and he was about to gather his strength again.    

Seeing that, Lee Hongtian raised his hand: "Wait!"    

His voice was filled with confidence, and it was also incomparably loud. Sure enough, at that instant, he stopped the old man.    

The old man was shocked. He stopped what he was doing and looked at Lee Hongtian coldly. "What? Do you have any last words before you die?"    

His voice was both old and hoarse, making people feel uncomfortable listening to him.    

When he couldn't figure out the trick, Lee Hongtian didn't dare to rashly retaliate. He said in a deep voice: "I think you can be considered an old senior. You have quite a bit of prestige and fame in the Nightless City, why are you not reasonable at all? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if word gets out? "    

This old man used poison needles and once his mind was in a mess, he wouldn't be able to shoot accurately. He wanted to find out what the old man was talking about, or at least let him know why the old man had attacked him.    

Hearing that, the old man snorted: "I killed you in the black market, are you afraid of others spreading the news? Since I said that I wanted to take your life, the current you, in this old man's eyes, is only a dead person. "    

"In my dictionary, there is no point in reasoning with a dead man."    

Lee Hongtian's eyes turned cold as he said, "Then tell me why you want to kill me. Even if I die, I will understand."    

As he spoke, he sized up the old man's expression.    

However, it seemed that he really did not put Lee Hongtian in his eyes. Even if Lee Hongtian said this, it did not dispel his thought, nor did he have any intention of revealing the reason.    

However, at this moment, because of Lee Hongtian's previous yell of "wait", what was originally a dark place immediately attracted the attention of many people. The cultivators who were previously entering the auction house in succession were also attracted by this place.    

There was no lack of curiosity. They directly walked over, or stuck their heads out and looked around, especially when they saw Lee Hongtian avoid the old man in the cyan robe.    

In the blink of an eye, a lot of people gathered at the originally inconspicuous place. Moreover, the whispers of their voices also reached the ears of Lee Hongtian, who was wearing the azure robe.    

"Sigh!" Isn't that someone? "    

"Who is this? Do you know him?"    

"You don't even know this anymore? Gai Yong, I heard he's one of the top experts on the black market. Previously, he used Middle Period of Deification's power to single handedly challenge a Late Period of Deification and even killed the opponent."    

"Although I've never seen him in person before, it seems like he looks exactly like the rumours say. He's all short and short, and he's also carrying a black box with poison that can devour a person's soul."    

"What!?" This person is Gai Yong! "    

The moment they heard the mention of Gai Yong, the expressions of all the cultivators present changed. After all, among them, although no one had personally seen Gai Yong, just his reputation was enough to intimidate people. Not only that, his moves were vicious and every move was a fatal one, so the crowd couldn't help but break out in cold sweat for Lee Hongtian.    

Gai Yong?    

While these people were whispering to each other, Lee Hongtian also heard the name. He also heard everyone's discussion about Gai Yong.
