Chapter 41: Sword Qi is the Soul Skill!-Surpreendente! O mestre de almas renasce e leva o Clã das Sete Joias de Vidro à vitória(Pequena ponte sob a lua)

The Blazing Demon Bear grabbed the Spirit Rhinoceros on the ground and was about to leave when it suddenly halted, its nose twitching as it sniffed the air again, seemingly sensing some strange aura.

Its eyes instantly turned crimson, and it whipped its head around, locking eyes with Ning Xi and the others not far away.

Ning Xi and her companions immediately felt an overwhelming wave of oppressive pressure washing over them. The crimson eyes of the Blazing Demon Bear were filled with wild fury and murderous intent.

Roar—!

It opened its massive jaws and let out a heaven-shaking roar, as if warning Ning Xi and the others not to approach.

Dugu Bo sneered, "Just a thousand-year spirit beast, courting death."

He released his martial soul and pressure. The Blazing Demon Bear instantly felt a crushing weight press down upon it, and it realized it had kicked a massive iron plate.

Subconsciously, it wanted to turn and flee.

"Grandpa Dugu! I can absorb this Blazing Demon Bear," Ning Xi said, her voice tinged with excitement.

"No way! This one is seven thousand years old. How could you dare to absorb one of such a high age?! We should play it safe and go look for that Sword-Spined Armored Dragon."

Dugu Bo frowned as well, the spirit rings beneath his feet emerging one by one.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.

"Grandpa Dugu, please help me. I am certain that I need this spirit beast," Ning Xi said, her eyes radiating intense excitement and anticipation.

Meeting her resolute and serious expression, Dugu Bo ultimately sighed helplessly. "Alright then."

Sensing the threat emanating from Dugu Bo, the Blazing Demon Bear let out another roar, instinctively trying to escape. Its speed was extremely fast, its massive form leaving a crimson afterimage in the air.

Dugu Bo swiftly executed a spirit skill while condensing spirit power in his palm, forming a cloud of green poison mist that billowed toward the Blazing Demon Bear.

"Emerald Phosphorus Maze," Dugu Bo uttered in a low voice, and the poison mist instantly expanded, enveloping the Blazing Demon Bear within it.

Trapped inside the poisonous fog, the Blazing Demon Bear let out a painful roar, yet it did not retreat; instead, it grew even more feral.

It violently thrashed its head, its mane scattering the poison mist, but to no avail. It let out another roar, gripped by fear yet consumed by unwillingness.

Intense resentment burst forth from its eyes.

At that very moment, Ning Xi swiftly swung the Seven-Kill Sword, the killing intent along the blade erupting instantly to form an invisible storm of sword qi that swept toward the Blazing Demon Bear.

"Seven-Kill Sword, Thunderstorm Slash!" Ning Xi murmured coldly, and the sword qi transformed into a brilliant lightning strike that accurately hit the Blazing Demon Bear.

Struck by the lightning attack, the Blazing Demon Bear let out a deafening roar, its massive body forced back a few steps. Its eyes turned even redder, and the berserk aura grew increasingly intense.

"Roar—!"

Dugu Bo unleashed his spirit skills once again. Third spirit skill: Emerald Phosphorus Maze.

Sixth spirit skill: Emerald Phosphorus Serpent Emperor Break.

As both spirit skills were unleashed, the Blazing Demon Bear was instantly sent flying.

First spirit skill: Thunderstorm Slash!

Ning Xi swiftly followed up with a finishing blow. Her sword qi turned into a dazzling bolt of lightning, precisely striking the vulnerability of the Blazing Demon Bear.

Struck by the lightning, the Blazing Demon Bear let out a piercing screech, its body blasted backward as it crashed heavily onto the ground.

Its eyes gradually lost their luster, finally closing limply.

With a Title Douro present, acquiring a spirit ring was effortlessly simple; the juniors didn't even need to make a move themselves.

The Blazing Demon Bear had practically possessed no room for resistance.

"Little girl, are you certain you want to absorb this? This is a seven-thousand-year-old one."

Uneasy, Dugu Bo asked once more to be sure.

"I'm certain. Don't worry, I have it under control." Finishing her sentence, Ning Xi immediately sat cross-legged and circulated her spirit power. A purple ring of light condensed above the corpse of the Blazing Demon Bear.

Guided by Ning Xi's spirit power, it slowly descended onto her body.

An overbearing and scorching energy rampaged through her veins, which Ning Xi expertly guided with practiced familiarity.

...

Ning Xi slowly opened her eyes. By the time she finished absorbing the spirit ring, dusk was already approaching.

"You little rascal, you truly are formidable. To think you could actually absorb a spirit ring like that." Seeing her successfully complete the absorption, the lingering worry in Dugu Bo's heart gradually dissipated.

He then asked, "How are you feeling right now? What is your second spirit skill?"

He was somewhat curious, seeing as this was the first time he had ever witnessed someone whose first two spirit rings were both of the thousand-year tier.

Ning Xi smiled faintly, a flash of icy sharpness crossing her eyes. She swiftly summoned the Seven-Kill Sword, and the purple spirit ring beneath her feet suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling radiance.

"Grandpa Dugu, I apologize. I do not have a second spirit skill, but I have gained a fire attribute and a boost to my spirit power.

And my sword qi itself is my spirit skill!"

However, this fire attribute was actually bestowed by the spirit bone. After all, the fire-attribute properties of a hundred-thousand-year spirit bone were something a mere thousand-year spirit beast could never hope to compare with.

Naturally, she could not voice these thoughts aloud, since Dugu Bo had no way of knowing that hidden within the Sunset Enchanting Heaven and Earth were actually two sets of million-year spirit bones.

As her words fell, her entire aura shifted abruptly, exuding an intensely oppressive presence.

Waving the Seven-Kill Sword in her hand, her sword qi instantly dragged out trails of fire behind it, resembling a surging river of blazing inferno.

Guided by the sword qi, the flames danced wildly, dazzling to behold.

That heart-shaking visual impact pressed directly upon the soul, inspiring involuntary awe.

Ning Xi channeled her spirit power into the Seven-Kill Sword once again, and the blade emitted a crisp ringing sound, as if responding to her summons.

Immediately following that, the Seven-Kill Sword released an even more formidable fiery sword qi, shaping it into a massive blade of blazing light.

This streak of sword illumination was as dazzling as the midday sun, instantly illuminating the entire forest.

"Swish!" A sharp piercing sound rang through the air as the fiery sword beam slashed outward. Wherever it passed, the air tore apart, emitting a shrill screech.

Struck by the impact of this blade energy, the towering trees surrounding the forest were instantly battered, branches and leaves flying everywhere, leaving behind scorched and charred marks on the trunks where they had been burned by the fire.

Such fire-infused sword qi—the explosive power was utterly terrifying.

The sword qi condensed from spirit power followed no fixed trajectory, yet they danced within a designated boundary as though possessed of a will of their own.

Splattering in all directions, the fiery sword qi carved deep fissures into the forest floor, where flames burned within the cracks with crackling sounds.

Standing to the side, Dugu Bo had already widened his eyes in disbelief.

He instinctively rubbed his eyes, unable to believe the scene unfolding before him.

He had never witnessed such powerful fiery sword qi in his entire life; this heart-shaking power filled him with profound shock.

"This... how is this possible?" Dugu Bo muttered to himself, his heart filled with incredulity.

How could the Seven-Kill Sword possibly project flames?!

Without a spirit skill?!

Yet it unleashed a fiery sword qi even more terrifying than any spirit skill?!

Hiss!

Terrifying beyond measure!

Unconsciously, he widened his eyes, his gaze locked fixedly onto Ning Xi.

Ning Xi stood at the epicenter of the fiery sword qi, gripping the Seven-Kill Sword with a stern expression.

Against the backdrop of the flames, her figure appeared exceptionally dashing and heroic, resembling a goddess who commanded fire itself.

Every single wave of her sword carried peerless might and speed. Under her control, the fiery sword qi danced wildly, obliterating everything in the surrounding area to dust.

Except for Jun Han, the rest of the onlookers had already been stunned speechless by this magnificent spectacle.

"You actually managed to unleash such terrifying sword qi without a single spirit skill!" Dugu Bo stared at her in utter disbelief, his tone laced with shock.
