Chapter 1357 – Sheathing The Blade
The Man in the Uthorpe mask had been stabbed in the abdomen. To the group of people who had ambushed Zhang Heng at the auction, this was undoubtedly bad news. Although from the looks of the wound, his life wouldn’t be in danger for the time being, however, it was obviously impossible for them to make another move.
Furthermore, as Zhang Heng had expected, the fire giant on the other side also started to jump in flames. This was a sign that the transformation was about to end, the man who had transformed into the fire giant was also filled with resentment. After all, his current form was practically invincible.
However, during this one minute of invincibility, he didn’t even touch Zhang Heng’s clothes. It was as if he had released an empty space. Furthermore, the scales of victory were gradually shifting to the other side. As time passed.., their current situation was becoming more and more dangerous.
In his haste, the man who had transformed into the fire giant made the worst decision of his life. Taking advantage of the last bit of time before his transformation ended, he pulled back his fist and pounced on Zhang Heng.
His thought was simple. Since he couldn’t hit him, he would stop. Instead, he would use his huge body and the flames on his body to cover all of Zhang Heng’s movements!
If he hadn’t been forced into a corner, he wouldn’t have used such an attack. However, the few teammates around him were either dead or injured, and only the last player who was still able to fight was left. It was difficult for him to pin down Zhang Heng anymore, he was doing this purely as a last resort.
However, to his surprise, Zhang Heng didn’t Dodge like he usually did. Instead, he stood where he was and looked at him calmly. He even put the [ hidden scabbard ] back into its scabbard.
The man who had transformed into the fire giant did not have the time to think about the meaning behind Zhang Heng’s actions. The way the man looked at him meant that he had reached the final moment of his flaming state, he could revert back to his human form at any moment.
He had to seize this last chance.
The distance between the two of them was rapidly closing. The man who had transformed into the fire giant felt that the flames on his chest were about to reach Zhang Heng’s eyebrows. Only then did the latter start to move!
If the slash that Zhang Heng had used to cut the man in the Uthorpe Mask’s abdomen was mysterious, then this slash was just and aboveboard!
Aboveboard fast! Aboveboard strong!
With the help of the sword drawing technique, the slash even produced a Sonic Boom!
The air currents were forced apart by the blade, and the fire giant’s body was also separated. As the slash passed by, a crack appeared in the air on the Fire Giant’s chest!
The next moment, everyone heard a scream. It was the time for the flame incarnation. The human body that had reverted back to its human form didn’t have the time to reunite and fell to the ground in two pieces.
Zhang Heng, who had swung the blade, was bathed in blood. He looked like a real demon god.
The remaining man, who was playing with the darts, could no longer withstand the terrifying pressure. He let out a loud cry and, ignoring the man in the Uthorpe mask, threw away the last darts in his hand, he ran away!
Just as everyone thought that the battle was finally over, a sudden gunshot came from the auction room!
The girl in the sailor’s uniform who was sitting on Zhang Heng’s right hand was holding an M36. This was a 191mm revolver. The small body of the revolver made it extremely easy to hide and carry.

Of course, most importantly, everyone believed in the safety inspection of the building. They didn’t expect that someone would be able to bring a hot weapon in without anyone noticing.
Furthermore, the girl in the sailor suit was very patient. Seeing her companions fall one by one under Zhang Heng’s knife, she didn’t rush to pull out her gun until the situation was settled, the average person would only make a move when they were at their most relaxed.
However, at that moment, her face was filled with shock. The gunshot had already sounded, but she hadn’t had the time to pull the trigger.
Then who had fired the gun?
Unfortunately, she would never know the answer to that question. Because in the middle of her forehead, there was a bullet hole. The body of the girl in the sailor’s uniform slowly slid down from her seat.
“I clearly warned you not to move.”Zhang Heng shook his head, put away the gun in his hand, and walked toward the auction stage. The blood on the tip of the [ hidden sheath ] knife dripped behind him as he walked, it made a ticking sound.
At that moment, the people in the auction room who were still alive could not help but hold their breaths, making the ticking sound exceptionally clear.
The auctioneer had lost his previous composure. Due to fear, his entire body tensed up, and all the muscles in his body stiffened. It was not until Zhang Heng walked up to him that his knees softened and he knelt down, however, he did not bring up any personal grudges. Instead, he kept repeating the same thing, “I don’t know anything. I’m just an employee of Fu Lou. It was Fu Lou who asked us to do this. I was also very surprised when I received the order, but this is a matter between the higher-ups. It has nothing to do with me…”
Zhang Heng waved his hand to interrupt him. “I’m not here to interrogate you, nor do I care what your higher-ups are up to… I just want to ask you a few questions.”
“Actually, I don’t know why I’m suddenly targeting you,”the auctioneer said nervously.
“It’s okay, I know why,”Zhang Heng said calmly. After a pause, he asked, “That’s not what I wanted to ask. is tonight’s auction real?”
“Yes, it’s real.”The auctioneer was stunned at first, then he hurriedly nodded, “Even though tonight was a trap, in order to successfully lure you out, those people did indeed put in a lot of effort. The video and photos are all real. I was there when the item was appraised. It really can’t be any more real.”
Zhang Heng saw that the auctioneer didn’t say anything, so he continued to ask, “No matter what, your building has always broken the rules that you set yourself. There’s no doubt about that, right?”
“Yes…”the auctioneer only felt his throat become dry, and he spat out the word with some difficulty.
“If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. Then, is there any problem with me taking the items for tonight’s auction?”
“Of course… There’s no problem.”The auctioneer couldn’t think of any other possible answer.
“Very good.”Zhang Heng cut open the glass of the platform with his knife. Ignoring the ear-piercing alarm, he directly took away the [ immunity crystal ] inside. Then, he placed the knife on the auctioneer’s neck.
The auctioneer’s expression changed. He thought that Zhang Heng was going to kill him before he left to vent his anger. However, Zhang Heng only said, “Where is the item that I used to bid for? Lead me to it.”
