44: Chapter 44 Solo Kill, Top-Grade External Soul Bone!

Mu Qingci saw that the time was ripe, so he raised his Hades Sword and charged forward.

Sword intent surged around his body. Holding the Hades Sword, Mu Qingci looked like a descending Sword God; every sword strike he unleashed left the Scorpion Tiger Beast struggling to cope.

Mu Qingci's attainments in the way of the sword had reached a new height.

Mu Qingci's strength could no longer be measured by his own Soul Power level. Now, even when facing a Spirit Saint who had not activated their Martial Soul True Body, he had the confidence to secure victory if he utilized his hidden cards.

Even if the opponent activated their Martial Soul True Body, he could still retreat unscathed and leave the opponent with a significant price to pay.

This was still based on the fact that he had not yet obtained his fifth spirit ring. If he killed the Scorpion Tiger Beast before him and obtained the fifth spirit ring, then it would not just be a simple matter of retreating unscathed.

Assisted by the twelve Undead Knights, Mu Qingci had gradually gained the upper hand.

The Scorpion Tiger Beast was, after all, not a Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger; it did not possess heaven-defying skills like the Life and Death Arena. It was merely a bit stronger than most Spirit Beasts of the same age and did not have an overwhelming advantage.

Sensing that it seemed unable to defeat this human, the Scorpion Tiger Beast planned to flee.

How could Mu Qingci give it a chance to escape?

Seeing the pair of massive black wings on the creature's back flapping as it tried to fly away, he made a decisive decision and simultaneously lit up his first, second, third, and fourth spirit rings.

The Netherworld Sword Array surrounded the Scorpion Tiger Beast, continuously absorbing its Soul Power to nourish Mu Qingci himself.

Under the enhancement of his first and third Spirit Ability, Mu Qingci unleashed his second Spirit Ability, Dark Nether Ghost Slash. Boosted by sword intent, this full-force strike severed half of the Scorpion Tiger Beast's wing.

The Scorpion Tiger Beast roared in pain, its eyes turning blood-red as it became berserk.

Missing half a wing, it could no longer fly. Looking at the human before it, the Scorpion Tiger Beast went completely mad.

It condensed a dark black energy ball in its mouth and suddenly launched it at Mu Qingci.

Facing this dark energy attack, Mu Qingci gave a disdainful smile.

His Hades Sword Spirit possessed the Ultimate Light attribute; using ordinary darkness to challenge Ultimate Light was simply like a mantis trying to block a chariot.

He didn't need many Spirit Abilities; he simply imbued the Hades Sword with Ultimate Light and swung it forward. A golden sword qi flew out, severing the black energy ball, and continued with residual force toward the Scorpion Tiger Beast.

Just as the Scorpion Tiger Beast was dealing with that, a pure white flame quietly flew in front of it.

Mu Qingci's hand held an extra scepter, and that white flame was emitted from this scepter.

It was Electrolux's famous signature technique, Purifying Fire.

The Scorpion Tiger Beast was a genuine dark-attribute evil Spirit Beast, so the Purifying Fire could naturally restrain it.

"Roar!!!"

Amidst the desperate roar of the Scorpion Tiger Beast, it was tainted by the Purifying Fire. The dark and evil aura on its body acted like natural fuel, causing the Purifying Fire to burn fiercely.

Soon, the soul of the Scorpion Tiger Beast was burned away, leaving only a shell.

Mu Qingci walked up, looked at the dull-eyed Scorpion Tiger Beast, and thrust his sword into its massive tiger head.

As the last trace of the Scorpion Tiger Beast's vitality faded, a pitch-black spirit ring carrying a heavy pressure floated out.

Mu Qingci saw that there was no other reaction and was slightly disappointed. After all, this was a Scorpion Tiger Beast over fifty thousand years old; he hadn't expected that it wouldn't drop a Spirit Bone.

With no time to think, the spirit ring could only exist for one hour. Mu Qingci released Snow Empress from the Undead Semi-Plane and asked her to protect him.

With such an existence comparable to a Limit Douluo protecting him, it was no different for Mu Qingci to absorb the spirit ring here than in his own home.

So he sat down cross-legged with peace of mind and began to operate his Soul Power to guide the spirit ring.

The huge black spirit ring sleeved outside his original four spirit rings, and violent Soul Power instantly filled his meridians.

However, after being baptized by the Ice Empress, Mu Qingci's physical fitness was incomparable to before.

He could even withstand a four-hundred-thousand-year spirit ring; this mere fifty-thousand-year spirit ring was nothing.

Snow Empress was guarding Mu Qingci. Just as she was focusing on the surroundings, she suddenly noticed an anomaly in the Scorpion Tiger Beast's corpse.

A cluster of black light floated out from the corpse and flew toward Mu Qingci.

Snow Empress wanted to block it, but it was too late. The black light ball entered Mu Qingci's body without obstruction.

Mu Qingci's whole body began to tremble violently, as if he was being impacted by a huge amount of energy.

At this moment, while absorbing the spirit ring, he only felt an extra surge of energy suddenly appearing on his back.

That feeling was very strange; it couldn't be called uncomfortable, but it definitely couldn't be called comfortable either.

The reason for the violent trembling was Mu Qingci's instinctive resistance.

But he discovered that this newly appeared energy was similar to the spirit ring energy, and both should have come from the Scorpion Tiger Beast.

This led to some guesses in his heart, so he stopped resisting this energy.

Seeing Mu Qingci's expression gradually return to calm, Snow Empress's hanging heart also relaxed, and she began to continue guarding him, becoming even more focused.

Just as Mu Qingci had guessed, this extra energy was indeed a Spirit Bone.

And appearing in such a unique way, with the energy appearing on his back, it should, without accident, be an external Spirit Bone.

With Mu Qingci's current physical fitness, even if he accepted two energies at the same time, there would be no problems.

An hour passed, and Mu Qingci opened his eyes.

A flash of black light passed through his golden eyes, then vanished in an instant.

He stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt his whole body was incredibly smooth.

"Level fifty-six, about what I expected."

The reason he could cross six levels at once was entirely because the remaining Soul Power from absorbing the Ice Empress's spirit ring and Spirit Bone last time had erupted this time, feeding back into Mu Qingci.

With a thought, a black vortex lit up on his back, and then with a swoosh, a pair of huge black wings appeared on his back. Wasn't that the Scorpion Tiger Beast's pair of wings?

Mu Qingci named this external Spirit Bone the Wings of the Evil God; it sounded incredibly domineering.

He didn't know what the Spirit Ability of this external Spirit Bone was yet, but one thing was certain: the speed was definitely very fast.

Mu Qingci moved his mind, and the huge wings on his back flapped, carrying him into the sky like a cannonball.

In almost an instant, he arrived at a thousand meters in the air.

The strong wind blew on him, bringing a burst of refreshing feeling.

He had long wanted a flight ability, and now this wish had been realized.

Although it was a bit different from the sword flight he had imagined, having such a cool pair of wings was also very satisfying to his vanity.
