I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

Chapter 161: Breaking the conspiracy and winning the treasure, the trapped beast still fights and da

The shadow was incredibly fast, reaching Lei Yi in the blink of an eye. Its blade flashed, aiming for Lei Yi's vitals. However, Lei Yi was prepared. A sneer curled up his lips, and instead of retreating, he advanced, moving sideways and passing through the blade like a ghost.

"What?!" The man in black had obviously not expected Lei Yi to be so agile and dodge this fatal blow. Before he could react, Lei Yi had already used the force to leap onto the auction table beside him.

The auction platform was already high above the ground, and Lei Yi's leap gave him an advantage. He swept his gaze over the audience, and those who were ready to take advantage of the situation were startled and gave up their thoughts when they met his cold gaze.

"Want to kill me? Just with a bunch of scum like you?" Lei Yi stood on the stage, his tone full of disdain and ridicule.

"Don't think you're sure to win!" The leading man in black was furious when he missed his attack. He shouted, "Brothers, attack together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other men in black pounced on Lei Yi like wolves. The entire auction hall was plunged into chaos, with swords flashing and murderous intent filling the air.

Dongfang Liuli had been keeping a close eye on Lei Yi's safety. Seeing the men in black attacking, she acted without hesitation. Her hands flew, casting spells one after another, instantly forming a protective shield around Lei Yi, blocking all attacks.

"Liuli, be careful!" Lei Yi, despite being in danger, was still concerned about Dongfang Liuli's safety. He shouted a warning while dodging the attacks of the men in black.

Dongfang Liuli gave him a reassuring look, his hand incantations continuing as water dragons appeared from thin air, sweeping towards the man in black. The water dragons roared, sending the man in black flying into disarray, instantly shattering their coordinated offensive.

Lei Yi took the opportunity to jump off the auction table. He didn't linger in the fight, but instead used the venue's layout and the crowd to engage the men in black. His agility allowed him to dodge attacks at the last moment, while simultaneously searching for opportunities to counterattack.

"Damn it! How come this kid is as slippery as a loach!" The leading man in black became more and more anxious. Seeing that time was passing by, they still couldn't catch Lei Yi.

"Don't worry, he can't get away!" At this moment, a cold voice rang out from the crowd, "Everyone, listen up! Seal off the auction hall! Don't let a single fly out!"

Hearing this voice, Lei Yi's heart sank. He knew that the real mastermind behind the scenes was finally going to make a move...

A cold, venomous voice, like the spitting of a venomous snake, instantly silenced the chaotic auction hall. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the voice, startled and suspicious. A middle-aged man in fine clothes, with a sinister expression, slowly emerged from the crowd. With every step he took, the crowd around him parted, as if everyone felt ashamed of themselves in his presence.

"It's the president of the auction!" Someone recognized the person and exclaimed.

The auctioneer, the man who controlled the economic lifeline of the ancient city, had been hiding in the crowd, observing all this with a cold eye. He walked up to Lei Yi, his eyes as cold as a knife, his tone filled with unquestionable authority: "Boy, you're very clever. You actually saw through my plan. However, the game ends here."

After saying that, he looked around and announced loudly: "Everyone, due to some unexpected events, this auction has been cancelled. Please..."

"Wait!" Lei Yi suddenly interrupted him with a mocking smile on his face. "Mr. President, what do you mean? Have you forgotten the rules of the auction? No one has the right to stop the bidding before it ends!"

As soon as Lei Yi finished speaking, a chorus of agreement rose from the crowd.

"Yeah, we paid a lot of money to get in, why should we cancel it just like that?"

"That's right, we haven't found anything we like yet!"

"Keep bidding! Keep bidding!"

Initially, intimidated by the auctioneer's authority, everyone dared not speak out, but Lei Yi's words seemed to ignite the long-suppressed anger in their hearts. They came here to bid for treasures, not to witness a farce.

The auctioneer's face was livid. He hadn't expected things to escalate to this point. He had originally thought that his status, coupled with the intimidation of the Black Wolf assassins, would be enough to subdue anyone. However, he had underestimated Lei Yi's influence and, even more so, the public's desire for the treasure.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to tear each other apart. He stared at Lei Yi with a cold gaze and said word by word: "Boy, are you sure you want to continue? You have to think clearly. There are some things that you can't get involved in!"

Lei Yi met his gaze, a sneer of disdain playing on his lips. "It's none of your business to tell me what I want. Now that the auction has begun, let's follow the rules. I want to see who dares to stop me today!"

He turned around, his eyes sweeping across the audience, and said loudly, "Everyone, it's time for this farce to end. I, Lei, am putting this on notice today: if anyone wants this treasure, feel free to bid, and I, Lei, will accompany you to the end!"

After saying that, he suddenly raised the number plate in his hand and shouted loudly: "Ten thousand spirit stones!"

Lei Yi's words resounded loudly throughout the auction hall. Intimidated by his aura, no one dared to bid. While ten thousand spirit stones wasn't a low price, compared to the tens of thousands the mysterious bidder had bid, it was practically a steal.

The auctioneer's face sank. He hadn't expected Lei Yi to be so decisive, pushing the price down to this point. He knew that if he didn't intervene, the treasure would surely fall into Lei Yi's hands. He winked at a nearby maid, who nodded knowingly and quietly withdrew from the crowd.

"Ten thousand spirit stones at a time!" the white-bearded old man shouted loudly. Although he was surprised by Lei Yi's behavior, as an appraiser of the auction, he had to remain impartial.

"Ten thousand spirit stones twice!" The old man's voice sounded again. This time, there was a hint of expectation in his tone. He hoped that someone could break the deadlock. After all, it was a pity to sell such a treasure at such a low price.

However, just when the old man was about to shout for the third time, something strange happened!

"Roar!" A deafening beast roar suddenly came from the corner of the auction hall. Immediately afterwards, several black shadows rushed out from the crowd like ghosts and rushed straight towards Lei Yi!

"Be careful!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed and subconsciously wanted to help, but was pulled back by Lei Yi.

"Don't come over, protect yourself!" Lei Yi said in a low voice. There was no panic in his eyes, but instead a gleam of light.

He had long anticipated that the auctioneer would not give up, and therefore had made all the necessary preparations. He moved, nimbly dodging the Black Wolf Killer's attack like a loach, while simultaneously raising the number plate in his hand once again.

"Eleven thousand spirit stones!"

Seeing that their attack missed, the Black Wolf assassins became even more frantic. They roared, brandished their sharp claws, and attacked Lei Yi from all directions. Lei Yi dodged their attacks while calmly continuing to raise the price.

"Twelve thousand spirit stones!"

"Thirteen thousand spirit stones!"

……

Each of his bids was like a thunderclap, exploding through the auction hall, completely discouraging those who had originally hoped to take advantage of the situation. They finally understood that this auction had become a game between Lei Yi and the auctioneer, and everyone else was just a pawn in this game.

Finally, after Lei Yi called out the price of 15,000 spirit stones, the mysterious bidder stopped bidding. Although he was wealthy, he was no fool. He knew that if he continued like this, he would only lose spirit stones in vain.

"Fifteen thousand spirit stones for three times! Deal!" the white-bearded old man shouted excitedly. The gavel in his hand slammed heavily on the gong in front of him, making a clear and melodious sound, and also announcing the end of this thrilling auction.

A triumphant smile played across Lei Yi's lips. He took the treasure from the maid and turned to leave. However, at this moment, the auctioneer's cold voice rang out again: "Boy, do you really think you won?"

Lei Yi paused, he slowly turned around, his eyes meeting the auctioneer's in mid-air, an invisible murderous aura spread between the two of them... The smile on his face widened, he put the treasure in his hand into the space ring, and walked towards the auction house gate without looking back.
