Even if they were beaten to death, they would not be able to take out 300,000 Divine Essence Gold, unless they pawned off all the treasures they had on them. They were going to the battlefield, so would they not be smacked to death by the Island Lord if they went there like this?
A red-bearded patriarch was enraged. He looked at Lu Li coldly and said, "Punk, I don't care who you are. If you dare to hurt one hair of our young master, I will kill you even if I have to hunt you down for 100 years!"
"One hair?"
Lu Li sneered. He must have hurt a lot of hair by now.
A glint of coldness rose in Lu Li's eyes. He put more strength into his hand. There came a clear sound of bones cracking. Then, that young master screamed like a duck. Chen Guangyang shouted, "Stop!"
"Whoosh!"
Lu Li didn't stop. He carried the young master in one hand and dashed toward the red-bearded old man like a ghost. Lu Li threw a punch at the old man's chest.
"How dare you!"
The old man was enraged. He took out a spear and was about to stab Lu Li.
However, Lu Li moved his other hand and put their young master in front of him.
The patriarch was so scared that he took back the spear. Lu Li had already punched.
This elder was wearing the Primordial Spirit Heaven Treasure Battle Armor. However, Lu Li knew the Spirit Explosion Secret Skill. With one punch, layers of energy exploded inside the Primordial Spirit Heaven Treasure Battle Armor. The elder spat out blood as he was sent flying. All his ribs were broken, and his internal organs were damaged.
"Poof!"
The patriarch smashed into the iron ship. The entire iron ship shook violently. He bounced back and rolled on the ground.
He didn't seem to be hurt. However, blood gushed out from his mouth. He looked awful.
"Hiss, hiss …"
Many people gasped. Lu Li was attacking their patriarch face to face. How could he injure a patriarch at the peak of the Second Tribulation with one punch?
What kind of skill was that?
Lu Li didn't use any powerful skill. It was just that his hand glowed in golden light.
He was only at the First Tribulation Realm but he could injure someone at the peak of the Second Tribulation Realm!
Nobody dared to look down on Lu Li anymore. Lu Li was not someone who held the emperor hostage. He was capable enough to kill everyone here.
If he didn't handle this well today, everyone here would die.
"Please calm down, sir!"
Chen Guangyang was very sensible. He cupped his hands and smiled apologetically. "Three hundred thousand Divine Origin Gold. No … problem. We will think of a way to gather them!"
Lu Li calmly carried that young master to the side and waited for the three hundred thousand pieces of Divine Origin Gold to be offered.
Chen Guangyang immediately gathered everyone. He first took out the Divine Origin Gold and threw it on the deck. There were many young masters and young mistresses here, and they all had Divine Origin Gold on them. There were also many commanders and soldiers. All of their Divine Origin Gold was taken out and piled up on the ground.
Everyone's Divine Origin Gold was taken out, adding up to about seventy to eighty thousand Divine Origin Gold. Chen Guangyang took out a spatial ring and stored all the Divine Origin Gold inside.
He threw it to Lu Li and said, "There are about 80,000 here. You can pay for the rest with treasures!"
"Sure!"
Lu Li answered coldly. Chen Guangyang made up his mind, took out a saber, threw it to Lu Li and said, "This saber is a Chaos Spirit Heaven Treasure and it is engraved with divine patterns of strength. Normally, a Chaos Spirit Heaven Treasure is worth 100,000 Divine Origin Gold. This one is worth at least 150,000 Divine Origin Gold."
"A saber?"
Lu Li's favorite weapon was a saber. He took it over with one hand, looked at it, and even swung it around. He was satisfied.
The saber was cyan in color, more than three feet long, and it was powerful. There were cyan divine patterns on it that could enhance the saber's strength.
Lu Li put it away after a while. He nodded and said, "This saber is not bad. I will sell it for 50,000 Divine Origin Gold."
"Fifty thousand? You might as well rob someone!"
Chen Guangyang was losing his patience. If this saber was put up for auction, it could be sold for 200,000 Divine Origin Gold.
If there were some wealthy customers who liked this saber, they could even sell it for 300,000 Divine Origin Gold.
But Lu Li said 50,000 Divine Origin Gold?
What was the difference between that and robbery?
Lu Li sneered and said, "Don't make it sound so harsh. I don't like robbery. Fifty thousand it is!"
"Eh …"
Chen Guangyang and the others were speechless. What Lu Li was doing was no different from robbery. He was just short of stripping them naked.
He took two deep breaths and looked at the other elder. That elder gritted his teeth and took out his battle armor, tossing it to Huang Xiaolong, and said, "One Grandspirit Heavenly Treasure Battle Armor, one hundred thousand Divine Origin Gold."
"Thirty thousand!"
Lu Li threw out these words and put away the armor. For him, the armor was of little use because his defense was stronger than the Primordial Spirit Armor.
"You …"
That patriarch was so angry that he almost spat out blood. Lu Li ignored him. He crooked his finger and said, "Go on. If you can't get 300,000 Divine Origin Gold, you can pay with your young master's head."
"Crack!"
Lu Li tightened his grip. The young master's neck cracked again. The young master cried out in pain and shouted, "Take it. I will give you everything. The elixirs, materials and treasures in my Interspatial Ring are worth tens of thousands of Divine Origin Gold. You can have them all!"
The young master's ring was disconnected from the spiritual connection and floated in the air. Lu Li grabbed it and found some Divine Origin Gold in it. There were many other materials, elixirs and manuals. Lu Li did a rough calculation and said, "Twenty thousand Divine Origin Gold. Go on …"
"Are you f * cking going to take everything we have on us …"
Chen Guangyang and the others felt like crying. They took out all the treasures, manuals and materials in their Interspatial Rings and asked Lu Li to make a valuation.
Their valuation was useless now. Lu Li would give them whatever he wanted.
The red-bearded old man's armor was taken off, and the spear was sent to Lu Li as collateral. The patriarchs and the other young masters and young ladies took out many valuable items from their Interspatial Rings.
"Only 200,000 Divine Origin Gold in total.
Are there no more treasures? "
Lu Li glanced over coldly to the two young ladies. With a mocking look, he said, "How about we pawn those pretty girls as well?
One of them is worth 20,000 Divine Origin Gold. How about that?
I will keep them for now. You can redeem them with Divine Origin Gold later. "
"No, no!"
The young ladies were scared out of their wits. Pawn them with Lu Li?
By the time the Four Flat Island came to redeem them, they would have been ruined beyond recognition. They might as well die now.
"Don't go too far!"
Chen Guangyang was enraged. Those were the best young ladies of the Four Flat Island. They were going to be sent to Four Flat Island for marriage. How could Lu Li take their women?
"Hmm!"
Lu Li sneered and said, "If you don't give me Divine Origin Gold, I will have to pawn them with pretty girls.
Do as you see fit. I can kill you as easily as crushing some ants.
I can kill you and take your women away. "
"You …"
Chen Guangyang and the others were going crazy with anger. He gritted his teeth and took out a yellowing beast skin scroll from his spatial ring and said, "This is a Divine Inscription diagram that this old man spent 100,000 Divine Origin Gold to buy in the past. There are a few very profound Divine Inscription Dojo layout diagrams on it.
Chen Guangyang threw the hide scroll over. Lu Li took a look, nodded and said, "This is worth some Divine Origin Gold. Let's call it 50,000 Divine Origin Gold. Keep looking."
"I really don't have anything else …"
Chen Guangyang and the others looked at Lu Li with tears in their eyes as if their father had passed away.
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't have anything else, then write an IOU. Say that the Four Flat Island owes 50,000 Divine Origin Gold.
The interest will be increased by 50,000 Divine Origin Gold every year. If you don't pay it back in 100 years, you will owe me five million Divine Origin Gold … "
"Plop!"
