The Black Figure retreated two steps; its empty eyes revealed a trace of fear. No one expected this Black Figure who doesn't seem to have any feelings, would actually be afraid!
"Heh, how do you feel?" Alex smiled and slashed again!
The other arm of the Black Figure had been severed. Under the sword, the Black Figure's tough and unbreakable body was just like a thin piece of paper.
The Black Figure's arms were broken, and it no longer had any thoughts of fighting anymore. It turned around and ran.
Alex's eyes flashed with a cold light, the Heavy Earth Sword suddenly released a sharp sword qi, directly cutting apart the Black Figure's legs!
The Black Figure fell to the ground, letting out a "Wuwu" sound. With all its limbs broken, it had already lost its ability to move, and could only slowly crawl on the ground.
Alex slowly walked over and laughed coldly: "You are already dead. Who are you trying to harm now?"
With that said, Alex raised his Heavy Earth Sword and pierced towards the back of the Black Figure's head!
However, at this moment, the sword-wielding youth finally recovered from his daze, he anxiously ran over and grabbed Alex's arm, and said anxiously: "Don't, don't make a move first!"
Alex's frowned, he doesn't know what this man was trying to do now. He could not help but ask: "What, you want me to spare its life? You should know it has already died. If I leave it , who knows how many people it'll kill in the future!"
"No, I don't mean anything like what you are thinking!"
The sword-wielding young man took a deep breath and looked away. He replied in a low voice: "I-I just feel that he is too pitiful. Since his limbs are already broken so he can't hurt me. Why don't you spare his life?"
Alex saw all of the sword-wielding youth's change in mood, he seemed to understand something. Ye Xiao laughed and asked: "So you are hiding something from me!"
"No! No! Let's not waste time here. There are still a few treasures in the palace, you saved my life, I will take you there immediately!"
"Do you really think that I'm an idiot so that I can be fooled?"
Alex suddenly saw a cunning light flashing in the sword-wielding youth's eyes. He saw the man in front of him secretly taking out a small needle and was ready to pierce his body. But at this time, Ye Xiao flicked his finger, causing a sharp Spirit Qi to pierce through the sword-wielding youth's shoulder, and blood splattered out.
The young man held onto his shoulder in pain and retreated a few steps, his face was filled with fear. He did not expect Alex to make a move so suddenly.
"Just based on the fact that you just tried to harm me, I could kill you. The reason why I'm leaving you with your life is because you still have some value. But if you dare lie to me, I won't even let you choose the way you want to die!"
Alex's tone was cold and his face ice-cold, as if he was an Asura from the depths of hell.
The sword-wielding young man was so scared that his soul was about to leave his body, but he pretended to be calm and shook his head. He said: "Believe me, I really have nothing to hide from you, we can go ahead and retrieve the treasures first! We'll see once we find the treasure. Isn't that obvious?"
"I don't want to waste words with you, but you don't seem to take my words to heart!"
A playful smile flashed across Alex's lips. His tone suddenly turned cold as he said: "Or do you think that I am only joking when I say I will kill you?"
As the sound of his voice faded, a cold light flashed.
Alex was still standing at his original position, wielding his Heavy Earth Sword, but at this time, a drop of blood fell from the blade.
The drop of blood fell to the ground.
The sword-wielding youth realized in horror that his left hand, which was holding the poisonous needle, had lost all feeling at some point. When he turned around to look, he was so shocked that he almost fainted. His entire left arm had fallen to the ground, and fresh blood was gushing out from his severed arm.
When Alex made a move, he did not hesitate at all!
He was telling the truth!
"Why did you stop me from killing this Black Figure? This is your last chance. If your answer does not satisfy me, I promise you, you will die next time!"
Alex's expression was extremely serious.
"I'll Speak, I'll speak!" The sword-wielding youth's spirit completely collapsed. He hurriedly said that he'll speak, so that Alex will not attack him again.
Alex smiled faintly and looked down at the sword-wielding young man from above with a profound gaze. Whether he killed him or not, there wasn't much meaning to it. The most important thing was to uncover some secrets from his mouth!
"I once read a secret scroll in the Star Seeking Tower, and there are records of this Black Figure. Turning from a corpse to its current puppet state not only requires a long process, but the conditions are also very harsh. However, once a corpse turns into a puppet after constantly being refined by ghostly energy here, a qualitative change will happen to some parts of the body!"
The young man didn't dare to be negligent and quickly spilled everything he knew.
Alex listened quietly and his face was devoid of any expression.
"For example, this puppet was a Martial Emperor Stage expert when it was alive. After turning into a puppet, although it had lost a lot of strength, as long as it had enough time, it could absorb enough ghostly energy and recover to its peak fighting strength.
And when a Martial Emperor Stage ranker transforms into a puppet after being refined by Ghostly Energy, their spine would produce a qualitative change, becoming extremely hard, and when used as a weapon, it would become extremely sharp with limitless power!"
"I tried to stop you because I covet the spine of this ghostly puppet. If the puppet dies, its spine will turn into nothingness and all this work will be in vain!"
The sword-wielding young man swallowed his saliva. He then looked at Alex carefully, afraid that Alex would cut him down after he revealed the secret.
Alex said coldly, half believing and half doubting the sword-wielding youth's words.
The sword-wielding youth walked forward. He was holding a long sword that he stabbed into the back of the Black Figure's neck.
The Black Figure let out a strange cry and started fiercely struggling. However, its four limbs were already broken, even if it risked its life, it could not do anything.
The sword-wielding young man clenched his teeth and slashed his sword downwards!
The Black Figure's skin which was as dry as an old tree trunk, split open inch by inch and suddenly emitted a brilliant golden light that was very dazzling.
The sword stopped when it reached the base of the tailbone.
A golden bone was embedded in his dried-up flesh. It was so dazzling that it exuded a dense aura of energy.
The young man fiercely stabbed the sword into the puppet. His wrist shook and the sword flew up and down in a blur. It quickly cut the bone and the dried flesh. Then, he flicked his wrist, and the golden bone flew up into the air.
Alex reached out and grabbed the golden bone, carefully examining it.
This bone was very smooth to touch and there was no stench at all. As he held them in his hand, he felt very comfortable.
"You can completely grind the other half down and make a dagger out of the other half. This way, we can make full use of this bone!"
The sword-wielding youth said in a very honest tone. There was no desire in his eyes, only an imploring look.
Alex's mind moved, he grabbed the golden bone and fiercely smashed it into the ground!
With a loud bang, the ground began to shake violently. Soon, a crack appeared in the middle and spread out in all directions.
After a few hundred meters, the ground actually started to collapse.
In the midst of the rumbling sounds, half of the plaza in front of the great hall collapsed!
"What a strong power!"
Alex could not help but take in a breath of cold air. Who would have thought that the golden bone of the puppet actually contained such boundless power?
If it could be polished into a weapon, it would definitely become at least an Emperor Rank weapon!
