Chapter 1683 1687: The Entire Skyless Realm Will Boil for Him
"A hundred?" Yang Sande's face twitched again.
In the Skyless Realm, the price of bodyguards is extremely expensive, and it's calculated based on time.
A first-grade Divine Cultivator's daily rate is around 1 million Divine Crystals. During that day, their life is yours; you can have them do anything.
Of course, there are those rare cases where bodyguards end up killing their employers, but relatively speaking, these incidents are quite rare.
As for a seventh-grade Martial Artist, their daily rate is at least 20 million Divine Crystals, and some of the more powerful ones can charge up to 50 million. After all, even among Martial Artists of the same level, there can be significant differences in strength. The most expensive seventh-grade Divine Cultivator's daily rate can even exceed a hundred million!
What's most important is that these are standard prices. Let's not forget that now is a special situation; the entire Skyless Realm is flooded with outsiders, greatly increasing both chaos and danger. So the prices during this period will at least double, if not several times more!
There's still about fifteen days until the auction. Hiring a seventh-grade Divine Cultivator as a bodyguard would cost at least several billion Divine Crystals, not to mention even if you could hire a hundred, that price would be astronomical.
"That's right, a hundred," Zhang Menglong said. "If there are more, even better; the more, the merrier!"
"Brother Gu, are you serious?" Yang Sande confirmed once again.
"Naturally, I am serious," Zhang Menglong replied. "How much is that? It's just a few thousand billion Divine Crystals."
"This is a few thousand billion Divine Crystals, not just a thousand!" Yang Sande almost wanted to curse. A few thousand billion Divine Crystals is equivalent to the entire assets of a fifth-grade empire!
He wants to use the entire assets of a fifth-grade empire to hire a security team for 15 days. The level of extravagance is simply unimaginable.
Right now, Zhang Menglong certainly doesn't have that much money; he only has a little over ten billion Divine Crystals on him. However, whenever he wants to earn money, he can do so. Before this, he temporarily needs a few bodyguards for emergencies; otherwise, any money he earns might end up being snatched by various organizations.
"Alright then, I'll just start with two."
Yang Sande finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking this was more reasonable.
"In that case, Brother Gu, come with me," Yang Sande said to Zhang Menglong.
Exiting the ship, they arrived at a massive port, facing an enormous city. The Skyless Realm sounded like a place filled with evil and slaughter, but these were things that happened behind the scenes. Outwardly, it seemed almost like a vast nation.
Zhang Menglong originally planned to first sell a sword, but Yang Sande paid the protection fee before he could show off, leaving Zhang Menglong unable to find a way to stir up trouble for the time being.
In these 15 days, he had a whopping 3,000 tasks to complete. He figured he could do every forbidden thing in the Skyless Realm, and his "showing-off recorder" could gather a great deal of fate.
"Trying to get in without money?"
Zhang Menglong had just taken a few steps when he heard a voice from behind.
He looked back and saw that it seemed to come from someone on another ship—a young man in noble attire, with a bodyguard behind him. This person was at the Ninth Grade realm!
"Amazing, a Ninth Grade expert as a bodyguard, this person isn't simple."
"Hahaha, not simple?" Yang Sande said. "In this Skyless Realm, unless you're beyond the Divine Cultivation Realm, even if a dragon comes, it must bow down. There are always people who think they're powerful and want to challenge the rules here."
"You want to charge me a protection fee? Courting death!" the young man said arrogantly, giving a signal to his bodyguard.
Immediately, a strong aura emanated from the bodyguard, turning the person collecting protection fees into a mist of blood.
"Skyless Realm, nothing special after all!"
"So powerful," Zhang Menglong couldn't help but admire the bodyguard.
"What's so impressive?" Yang Sande seemed unfazed by this kind of situation. "Don't be fooled by the amazing appearance. He'll be crying soon!"
As if to validate Yang Sande's words, Zhang Menglong suddenly sensed an extremely terrifying force emerging from the depths of the Skyless Realm. This force was also Ninth Grade, but it was vast and seemed a hundred times stronger than that bodyguard!
A golden stream of light shot out from the city's depths straight toward the head of the Ninth Grade Martial Artist.
The latter was taken aback and dodged hurriedly.
Unexpectedly, the golden light pierced through his head without giving him any chance to react!
The Ninth Grade Martial Artist fell, with a black flame burning from the wound on his forehead, gradually spreading to engulf his entire body.
"Liuyun!" the young man's face turned pale. He certainly hadn't expected his Ninth Grade expert bodyguard to be instantly killed. This was a Ninth Grade strongman!
"Break a leg and crawl out!" a majestic voice came from the city's depths.
Immediately, two gatekeepers walked toward the young man.
The young man, only at the Fifth Grade realm of Divine Breath, was no match for the Skyless Realm folks. Amidst screams, only a bloodied footprint remained on the ground.
"Who did this?" Zhang Menglong was still trapped in disbelief from what he had just witnessed.
"That was Master Hei Nan, one of the three giants of the Skyless Realm," Yang Sande said. "In reality, his strength isn't much greater than that poor Ninth Grade fellow."
"Impossible! Such a disparity in strength must be at least several dozen times. I'd believe it if you told me he's a powerhouse beyond the Divine Cultivation Realm."
"Hahaha," Yang Sande laughed, "Most people think like you do, but that's not the case. It's just a formation that enhances attack power."
"A formation? Is he an Array Master?" Zhang Menglong asked.
"Yes," Yang Sande replied, "Master Hei Nan has spent a thousand years here, setting up a very mysterious formation. As long as he's within this formation and his enemy is in the Skyless Realm, he's practically the most powerful person in the Skyless Realm. The formation can greatly enhance his attack power, amplifying it dozens of times!"
"His mastery of formation arts is remarkable!" Zhang Menglong said. For Array Masters, once they have occupied a favorable location ahead of time, their combat power becomes terrifying, almost like having an invincible cheat.
"So I've said, in a place like this, no one should attempt to challenge the rules. This is the consequence of challenging the rules."
"How interesting!" Observing the event firsthand, Zhang Menglong's expression gradually turned more ecstatic. "If someone really could challenge the rules here, it would be incredibly thrilling, wouldn't it?"
"Hahaha, if such a person really existed, the entire Skyless Realm would be buzzing with excitement!"
