Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

Emei Ci read the text on the leaderboard: “A Silly Cutie, Fist Sage, Yun Xiang, 1.1 seconds to kill Blood Hell Blade Guard…”

She blinked, wondering if she had misread it.

How could there possibly be a record of killing a Blood Hell Blade Guard in 1.1 seconds?

Instead of double-checking, Emei Ci opened the private chat and messaged Hai Tang.

“Hai Tang, open the Blood Hell Forbidden Land’s achievement interface and check the kill time rankings.”

“Oh… okay.”

The Blood Hell Forbidden Land blocked outside communication, but players inside could still private chat.

Hai Tang was a bit confused by the message.

“Vice Captain, what’s wrong? We haven’t found anything yet, what are you spacing out about?”

“Oh, nothing, the Vice President asked me to check the achievement board… no, the kill time rankings.”

Hai Tang responded, somewhat dismissively.

“What’s the Vice President up to? At a time like this when we’re all searching for Nuoduo, why look at the kill time rankings? Is there someone who can kill a boss in one minute?”

“Yeah, why is the Vice President messing with this stuff instead of helping us search?”

Several core members of the Rose Legion grumbled.

They were clearly dissatisfied with Emei Ci not joining their search team.

“Shut up, all of you. Who are you to casually comment on the Vice President?” Hai Tang scolded. “If the Vice President asked me to look, she must have her reasons.”

“Also, don’t say such ridiculous things about killing a boss in one minute. It makes you sound incredibly stupid.”

Hai Tang glared at one of the core members. “How could any team possibly kill a boss in one minute at this stage…”

“Uh…”

While scolding the core members and checking the rankings, Hai Tang opened the kill time rankings and was immediately dumbfounded.

“What’s wrong? Vice President, don’t tell me I was right, and there really is a team that can kill a Blood Hell Forbidden Land boss in one minute? Your expression almost had me fooled.”

Hai Tang shook her head, “No, there’s no team that can kill a Blood Hell Forbidden Land boss in one minute.”

“Oh, you scared me. I thought someone was cheating.”

Wind Hyacinth patted her chest, looking relieved.

“Wind Hyacinth, why so dramatic? Even our Temple can’t kill a Blood Hell Blade Guard in one minute. What team could possibly do that now?”

Carnation rolled her eyes at Wind Hyacinth.

“Exactly, the Blood Hell Blade Guard has 3 million HP, with both defense and magic defense over 600. Even if all 5,000 of us in the Rose Legion focused fire, it would still take at least seven or eight minutes,” Tulip chimed in. “Our Rose Legion is one of the top ten elite legions of the Temple. Other guilds don’t have many that can match our strength. How could any team possibly kill a boss in one minute?”

“It’s not… not one minute, but 1.1 seconds.”

As the others were teasing Wind Hyacinth, Hai Tang suddenly spoke up, stopping their chatter.

1.1 seconds?

When Hai Tang said this, the scene instantly fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

But their first reaction was disbelief.

“How is that possible? How could any team possibly kill a Blood Hell Blade Guard in one second? Vice Captain, you must be joking.”

“Not one second, 1.1 seconds. See for yourselves,” Hai Tang said, a hint of shock in her eyes, ignoring their doubts.

“And it’s not just one… even the Blood Hell Frenzied Demon Guard, Blood Hell Forbidden Guard… all 1.1 seconds as well.”

Hai Tang dropped this bombshell and then, ignoring their dumbfounded stares, sent a reply to Emei Ci.

“Vice President, I’ve checked. A Silly Cutie, Fist Sage, Yun Xiang, 1.1 seconds to kill Blood Hell Blade Guard… Blood Hell Frenzied Demon Guard… Blood Hell Forbidden Guard…”

“I see. I understand.”

Emei Ci, who was walking towards Hope City, received this message and replied. Although her response seemed calm on the surface,

Her current mood was anything but calm!

It could even be described as earth-shattering.

Because it was just too hard to believe.

Even though it was clearly written on the leaderboard, she found it difficult to accept this fact.

“Killing a level 30 boss in 1.1 seconds, is this really something they can do?”

Emei Ci deeply doubted this.

“Unless they found some loophole, or… that black skeleton is behind this.”

The Temple had records of A Silly Cutie and Fist Sage’s capabilities.

The Temple’s intelligence network was top-notch, making such information easy to acquire.

The only one they couldn’t figure out was that mysterious black skeleton.

If they had only killed one Blood Hell Blade Guard, Emei Ci might have thought they found some loophole or were lucky.

But with records for the Blood Hell Frenzied Demon Guard and Blood Hell Forbidden Guard as well, she had to admit that this was likely true.

“This is bad.” Emei Ci suddenly thought of something. “The plan targeting the black skeleton might have to change.”

“If the black skeleton can kill Blood Hell Forbidden Land bosses so quickly, his strength must be beyond imagination. The annihilation plan is bound to fail…”

Emei Ci rubbed her beautiful brows, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Her delicate face was covered in frost.

Because it wasn’t just these issues. After confirming the authenticity of the rankings, she thought of even more problems.

“At this monster-killing speed, Fist Sage has likely already obtained a guild establishment token.”

Emei Ci’s face changed. “Hope City becoming ruins must also be their doing. Now… we probably won’t be able to find Nuoduo either.”

“Damn it, the Temple has lost on all fronts…”

Without Nuoduo, the Rose Legion couldn’t possibly reach Blood Void City.

Emei Ci found it hard to accept this setback.

However, after a moment, as one of the Twelve Gods, she pulled herself together.

The Twelve Gods weren’t just about skill application; their mentality was also fundamental to their strength.

Others might have been completely devastated by this blow, but Emei Ci just took a deep breath, exhaled, and regained her usual composure.

“Now, we can only pin our hopes on accumulating points.”

Emei Ci pursed her lips, feeling very unwilling.

But there was no choice; this was the only way.

Opening the private chat, Emei Ci prepared to send an order to Hai Tang, telling them to end the search for Nuoduo and switch to hunting bosses.

But before she could type a single word, she felt the ground suddenly shake.

Then, in the distance, beyond the desolate ruins of Hope City, a group of enormous figures appeared, one of them towering at a thousand meters high!

They had ferocious appearances and massive bodies, with an overwhelming aura!

Especially when… Emei Ci cast an Examine skill and saw their information, she was stunned on the spot.

“The Killing God’s Thousand Army of the Seventh Demon King, level 300… 300 million HP… over 40,000 in both defenses…”

“By order of the Seventh Demon King, exterminate all humans!”

Emei Ci: “…”
