59: Chapter 59 Murder and Robbery: You Need the Strength

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent.

The gazes of all the distinguished guests turned toward the youth in this corner.

When they saw how young, or rather, how juvenile Mu Qingci was, greedy glints flashed in the eyes of many.

However, constrained by the fact that this was an auction house, they did not immediately take action.

"Guest number seventeen has bid an eighty-thousand-year ice-attribute left leg Spirit Bone. Is there any higher bid?" There was a hint of relief in Xuanxuan's tone.

An eighty-thousand-year Spirit Bone was clearly more precious than the current auction item, and although not by much, it at least meant the auction was a success.

Unsurprisingly, no one could offer a higher price.

"Are there any other guests who wish to increase the bid?"

After asking three times in succession, Xuanxuan immediately brought down the wooden gavel in her hand: "Sold! Let us congratulate guest number seventeen for winning the seventy-thousand-year light-attribute left arm Spirit Bone!"

After the auction ended, Mu Qingci was invited to the back office of the auction house, where he was received by none other than the auctioneer, Xuanxuan.

"Young Master, this is the item you won."

Xuanxuan handed over an opened box, inside of which was the light unicorn left arm Spirit Bone.

Mu Qingci nodded, then took out the eighty-thousand-year snow leopard left leg Spirit Bone from his spirit tool.

"Very well, I wish us a pleasant transaction!" Xuanxuan took the Spirit Bone and shook hands with Mu Qingci. The successful auction of such a high-year Spirit Bone would surely become a brilliant highlight in her career as an auctioneer.

"Young Master, do you require our auction house personnel to escort you home?"

Considering Mu Qingci's age, Xuanxuan worried that someone might harbor ill intentions, so she asked out of kindness.

"That will not be necessary. I have a guardian following me." The guardian Mu Qingci referred to was naturally the Snow Empress.

Hearing this, Xuanxuan suddenly realized. She should have thought of it earlier; for such a young master to come out and auction such precious items, there would inevitably be someone specifically assigned to protect him.

"It was Xuanxuan who worried too much. Take care, Young Master."

After leaving the auction house, Mu Qingci walked straight towards the outskirts.

He sensed three auras following behind him.

However, he was not afraid of this at all. After all, he had a Limit Douluo-level guardian by his side.

Coupled with the defensive spirit tools on his person, even a Limit Douluo could not kill him, let alone these small fries following behind him now.

Upon reaching the outskirts, Mu Qingci stopped and said without looking back, "How much longer do you intend to follow me?"

Three large figures emerged from the shadows of the woods behind him.

"Heh heh, you brat have quite a keen sense of smell. To think you'd dare to run to the outskirts even after discovering the three of us."

Mu Qingci turned around and looked at the three of them coldly, his gaze like that of someone looking at the dead.

"Stinky brat, what are you looking at? If you know what's good for you, hand over the Spirit Bone on you. If we're in a good mood, we might just leave your corpse intact." Another burly man shouted.

Mu Qingci smiled speechlessly: "Two Spirit Saints, one Spirit Emperor. Is this your capital for killing and robbing?"

He could perceive the cultivation levels of the three people before him. This configuration might be very strong for ordinary people, but for him, even without asking the Snow Empress to act, he could handle them.

"Stinky brat, you're only a Spirit King, what right do you have to be arrogant?" The leading burly man roared.

"Heh, to kill and rob, you need the strength for it. As for what capital I have, you'll find out in a moment."

Mu Qingci smiled contemptuously, and then the Hades Sword appeared in his hand.

Looking at the extraordinary spirit ring configuration at Mu Qingci's feet, a flash of shock appeared in the eyes of the three burly men.

"Don't be afraid! No matter how terrifying his spirit ring configuration is, he is just a Spirit King. Let's attack together!"

Three similar large blades appeared in the hands of the three men simultaneously, followed by spirit rings of various colors.

These three were brothers born of the same mother. After committing crimes in the three Douluo nations and being wanted, they fled to the Sun Moon Empire.

They usually worked as hired thugs for some nobles, while occasionally doing things like killing and robbing as they were doing now.

Unfortunately, they were unlucky enough to run into Mu Qingci today.

The two Domains of Darkness and Light spread out under Mu Qingci's feet, enveloping the four of them.

Feeling the flow of Soul Power within their bodies slowing down, a trace of panic flashed through the hearts of the three burly men.

"This brat is strange, finish this quickly!"

The seventh black spirit ring at his feet flashed, and the large blade in his hand suddenly lengthened to fifteen meters, slashing straight towards Mu Qingci.

Mu Qingci easily dodged this strike, then took out the sword of judgment from the Undead Semi-Plane.

He did not yet have the intention of asking the Snow Empress to act; he wanted to test his current strength.

Two Spirit Saints plus one Spirit Emperor were decent objects for testing.

The Hades Sword and the sword of judgment merged into one, becoming an incomparably domineering heavy sword.

Mu Qingci held the heavy sword and clashed with the leading burly man's Martial Soul True Body. With one collision, both sides retreated three steps.

A look of disbelief flashed in the burly man's eyes.

He could not imagine how the opponent, who was only a Spirit King, could fight him to a draw even with the support of a spirit tool, especially when he had activated his Martial Soul True Body.

It was all because he was ignorant and failed to recognize the level-eight spirit tool, the sword of judgment, in Mu Qingci's hand.

With the support of the sword of judgment, Mu Qingci already possessed combat power surpassing that of a Spirit Saint.

After trading dozens of blows, the burly man gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"What are you two standing there for? Hurry up and come help me!"

The other two burly men, who were originally watching the show, hurriedly joined the battle after being roared at by their big brother.

The other Spirit Saint also lit up his seventh spirit ring and released his Martial Soul True Body.

Even while facing all three at once, Mu Qingci appeared to have more than enough energy to spare; this was his current strength.

Amidst the crisscrossing sword intent, the three burly men opposite him were faintly falling into a disadvantage.

"Fifth Spirit Ability, Pluto Descends!"

Mu Qingci lit up his fifth spirit ring at this moment.

The powerful amplification effect almost evened out the gap between him and the opponent's Martial Soul True Body.

The situation instantly reversed, and Mu Qingci began to firmly hold the upper hand.

"Second Spirit Ability, Dark Nether Ghost Slash!"

The sword qi of the second Spirit Ability, carrying incomparable sword intent, slashed out and successfully severely wounded the three brothers.

"Young Master, spare us! We were blind and failed to recognize your greatness!"

Led by the leading burly man, the three of them hurriedly knelt and begged for mercy.

They did not want to die just like that.

Mu Qingci looked at the three of them coldly. He had never been a soft-hearted person; only when facing friends would he reveal his gentle side.

"Looking at the three of you, you must be repeat offenders. From the moment you said you would leave my corpse intact, your fate was already sealed!"

Before the three could continue begging for mercy, a flash of sword light streaked past.

The three of them didn't even manage to say their final words before a red line appeared simultaneously on all of their necks.

Then, the three of them fell to the ground simultaneously, dead.
