External Soul Bone, Sword Bone Head??

After quite a while, Xiao Wu finally recovered from her exhausted state. She helped Yun Qi up and found that it was nothing serious—his Soul Power had merely been depleted, leaving him without any strength!

Yun Qi also slowly woke up in Xiao Wu's embrace. After greeting her, he indicated that he was fine.

"Xiao Wu, let go of me. I'm going to absorb the Spirit Ring!"

Yun Qi endured the nausea brought on by his weakness and circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill at full speed, drawing in the Ironclad Sword Dragon's Spirit Ring not far away! The absorption went very smoothly. Yun Qi's Physical Body had already grown much stronger after being tempered day after day! Unexpectedly, when Yun Qi faced the Ironclad Sword Dragon's remaining soul impact, he found it only slightly taxing, which left him quite puzzled.

Could my soul have been tempered during transmigration? Or, as someone who has lived two lives, was my soul power already enough to withstand this level of soul impact?

Yun Qi had no way of knowing, but judging by the result, it was clearly a good thing, so he stopped dwelling on the reason!

Xiao Wu watched Yun Qi's expression, which never changed in the slightest, and secretly marveled. Her Older Brother was a Genius the likes of which she had never even heard of in all her years!

Before long, Yun Qi had finished absorbing the Spirit Ring. After collecting his quest reward, four Spirit Rings floated up and down around him: purple, purple, purple, and black!

Xiao Wu immediately came over.

"Brother, how do you feel now? What level are you?"

Yun Qi carefully sensed the power within his body, his face blooming with a smile.

"Xiao Wu, I'm already a forty-second-level Soul Ancestor. You have to work hard too!"

Seeing the anticipation in Xiao Wu's eyes, Yun Qi understood what she was expecting.

The Black Spirit Ring on his Martial Soul flared! In an instant, the Moon Shadow Sword split into two, then four, continuously multiplying! In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a dense mass of sword shadows.

Under Xiao Wu's stunned gaze, Yun Qi casually pointed. The dense rain of swords turned into a streak of light, following the direction he indicated and tearing through the air with a series of sharp whistles before crashing into the ground not far away! And that was not all. After the impact, sword energy continued to rampage across the ground, relentlessly destroying everything around it.

"Brother, isn't this a little too exaggerated? Did you turn into an enhanced version of the Ironclad Sword Dragon?"

Yun Qi irritably tapped Xiao Wu on the head.

"It isn't over yet. As my level rises, the number of sword shadows will continue to increase. In theory, there's no upper limit!"

"Then can you explain why your First Spirit Ring turned purple?"

Yun Qi smiled mysteriously and raised a finger to his lips.

"Shh, this is one of Brother's special abilities!"

Xiao Wu looked at Yun Qi as if he were a monster. Even she, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, did not possess as many strange abilities as this man in front of her!

Seeing the look in Xiao Wu's eyes, Yun Qi did not know how to explain himself. After thinking it over and realizing he could not explain it, he simply gave up!

Yun Qi looked toward the Ironclad Sword Dragon's corpse and noticed another unusual fluctuation of Soul Power in its back! As if he had thought of something, he immediately began dissecting the Ironclad Sword Dragon's back with his sword. Before long, he dug a section of Soul Bone out of its body, then stored the entire corpse in his Storage Ring!

Xiao Wu stared at the Soul Bone in Yun Qi's hand with curiosity.

"Is this an External Soul Bone?"

Yun Qi looked directly at Xiao Wu and said:

"Xiao Wu, protect me. I'm going to absorb this Soul Bone. I feel that this Soul Bone will raise my strength to an unprecedented level!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Qi directly fused the External Soul Bone in his hand into his body!

The moment the Soul Bone entered his body, it began to change and reorganize incessantly!

Agonizing pain, scorching heat throughout his body, and Cold Sweat beading on his head.

One Sword Bone Head after another also pierced out through Yun Qi's back, tearing through flesh and ripping apart his clothes before forming a Sword Array in the sky!

Yun Qi let out a painful roar!

Only after quite some time did he recover. He controlled the Sharp Swords flying in the sky, turning them into energy that returned to his body!

Xiao Wu's expression turned strange as she thought secretly:

And he still says he's not an Ironclad Sword Dragon!

After absorbing the Soul Bone, Yun Qi and Xiao Wu rested in the forest for a day. Once his Soul Power had recovered, he prepared to take Xiao Wu to Suotuo City for some good food!

At the same time, on the other side of the forest, a Black Clad Woman and an Elder in a Gray Robe were rushing toward Yun Qi's direction without stopping. Behind them came several Black Robe Men shouting threats and curses!

Before long, the Black Robe Man caught up with the two of them and injured the strongest Gray Robe Elder!

"Second Young Lady, stop running!"

"That's right, Second Young Lady. Why don't you obediently let the brothers have some fun? Then we'll let you go. How about it?"

A Middle-aged Man dressed in black looked at the graceful Woman before him with a lecherous grin. As he spoke, his companions slowly spread out around her, forming a surrounding circle!

Seeing this, the Gray Robe Elder immediately stepped in front of the Black Clad Woman and said to her in a low voice:

"Second Young Lady, I'll hold them off later. Just keep running forward! Don't worry about me. I'll be fine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he used all his Soul Power to blast open a gap in the encirclement. Then he wrapped the Black Clad Woman in Soul Power and sent her out!

The surrounding attackers immediately cursed angrily:

"You mangy dog, you're looking to die!"

Hearing the sounds of the fierce battle behind her, the Black Clad Woman turned back. Her eyes reddened, and she called out in despair:

"Butler Fu!"

Hearing her call, Butler Fu answered amid the fierce battle, only to be injured again!

"Miss, run! You must live well!"

When the leader of the Black Robe Men heard this, he immediately made a decision and sent two men after her!

The Black Clad Woman cast one last, deep look at Butler Fu and the people who had come to assassinate her, as if she wanted to etch them all into her memory. The tears in her eyes transformed into a blazing flame of vengeance! She stumbled forward, leaping and hiding as she ran. But she failed to shake off the pursuers behind her! Instead, because her Soul Power was insufficient, the distance she had created was gradually erased!

The Black Clad Woman looked at the two Black Robe Men in front of her in despair and slowly said:

"Are you planning to betray your master?"

The two Black Robe Men burst into laughter as if they had heard the funniest joke.

"Second Young Lady! We were sent by the Eldest Young Lady. Everyone knows now that the First Prince will definitely win. Why don't we become Dragon Followers?"

The Black Clad Woman's eyes dimmed, but she continued:

"The confrontation hasn't even begun. Who says I will definitely lose?"

"Besides, the confrontation hasn't begun, and if I die, do you think the Royal Family and the Zhu Family will spare you? My good Older Sister and brother-in-law might even silence you to keep the news from spreading. Think it through carefully!"

The Black Clad Woman felt that, since she was six years old, she had never spoken so many words in a single breath. If she still could not persuade them to retreat, then she could only die!

The Black Robe Men Exchanged a Look, their faces bitter. How could they not know? The fact that they had cultivated to the realm of Soul Ancestors proved they were not fools! But what choice did they have? From the moment they began serving the First Prince and the Eldest Young Lady in the shadows, their wives and daughters had fallen into the First Prince's hands!

Thinking of this, the Black Robe Man could only gamble on the First Prince's mercy. The two men nodded to each other and slowly approached the Black Clad Woman!

"Big Brother, since we might die anyway, wouldn't it be a waste not to play with the Zhu Family's Second Young Lady—or should I say, the Prince Consort?"

"Brother is right!"

As they spoke, the two men gave lecherous laughs, rubbing their hands as they slowly reached toward the Black Clad Woman's ample chest!

Just as the Black Clad Woman was about to bite through her own tongue and commit suicide, a sharp sound suddenly tore through the air in the distance!

"Whoosh!"

A Black Purple Sharp Sword instantly severed the two men's outstretched hands. It curved through the air and returned to Yun Qi's hand!

"Hey, scum! What are you doing?"

I can't find the book title. Try searching for the author instead—it may have simply been renamed!
