Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

*Whoosh!*

A golden streak flashed by Jiang Cheng’s side.

The next moment, Jiang Cheng, carrying A Silly Cutie, appeared on Lightning Steed’s back.

Sky Assault Armor activated.

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh…*

The Black Ice Spear materialized in his hand, thrusting forward violently.

Then, Jiang Cheng’s figure, riding the white horse, followed the Black Ice Spear as it pierced through players.

As he galloped along, magic and arrows crisscrossed behind him.

*Splat… splat… splat… splat… splat…*

Spiral Spear Momentum, breaking armor with force!

Spiral Spear Momentum was a technique of spear wielding, not a skill.

Using spiral force combined with high strength rotating momentum could achieve the effect of breaking through armor.

Moreover, if the strength was high enough and the gap with the opponent was large enough, it could even pierce through the opponent’s body.

Jiang Cheng’s strength now reached 582, 480 points higher than Fist Sage, who was currently ranked first in strength.

Not to mention these players who could only be called experts?

In an instant, the Black Ice Spear pierced through twelve players, triggering various effects and dealing thirty-two terrifying damage numbers.

“-26547!”
“-26475!”
“-21757!”
…

Jiang Cheng’s attack power had now reached 3730. Frost Void’s armor pierce and Hand of Polaris’ armor break effect left players with almost no defense.

Critical hit doubled, plus vital hit, tripled!

Frost Void effect, 80% critical damage, 3.8 times.

Secondary weapon Wings of the Seven Slaughters’ critical damage increase of 34%, 4.14 times.

Sky Assault Armor’s 30% attack power bonus added another 0.3 times.

The spear’s inherent 40% attack power bonus added 0.4, reaching 4.7 times.

Dragon-Slaying Divine Ring’s dark attribute increased it by 0.3 times, reaching 5 times.

There was also the Omnipotent Master’s 200% attack power bonus for all weapons, although Dark Intimidation’s effect wouldn’t work on players.

But now, his critical damage had reached a terrifying seven times!

And he hadn’t even activated the Dragon-Slaying Divine Ring’s skill to increase all attributes by 2 times!

He didn’t need to activate it either.

With his current attack, although players’ defense had generally increased significantly due to leveling up, it was still more than enough.

*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*

The triggering of Frost Explosion, Afterimage, and Frost Wail effects instantly killed thirty-two players.

A large patch of snow cleared on the spot.

*Clang!*

Just as the Black Ice Spear pierced through the last player, pinning them dead, Jiang Cheng, riding Lightning Steed, grabbed it in his hand with absolute speed.

*Splat! Splat! Splat!*

The spear transformed into a black glaive, slashing from left to right at three nearby players!

Black Flame Ice Seal Slash!

*Ding ding ding!*

Twelve ice pillars condensed in front, suddenly exploding.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Another large-scale damage explosion erupted, instantly killing seventeen players.

*Splat!*

The glaive cleaved a knight player in half, horse and all.

This triggered the Frost Disaster effect, frost lighting up within a 3-meter radius.

Seven players were killed by the frost explosion, vanishing into light on the spot.

The next moment!

*Boom!*

Lightning Steed let out a neigh, its hooves galloping, transforming into a golden streak that instantly charged forward.

Jiang Cheng placed the glaive on the horse’s back, merging with Lightning Steed’s light-speed movement.

Blood flew and white lights flashed wherever they passed.

The Temple players’ attacks on Jiang Cheng were all dodged with incredible speed.

Their remaining attacks mostly hit their own people.

The scene instantly became chaotic.

In the chaotic battlefield, only a golden streak was moving about, leaving screams and death lights in its wake.

With the speed of Jiang Cheng’s Lightning Steed, they couldn’t even find his shadow.

All skills missed their mark. They couldn’t hit the Black Skeleton, but their teammates died in droves.

Jiang Cheng was like an unparalleled fierce general charging into the battlefield, rampaging through.

No player under his hand could last even a moment.

Where his blade fell, no player could escape!

“The encirclement plan has completely failed, retreat!”

Seeing Jiang Cheng slaughtering Temple players like cutting melons, a hint of astonishment flashed in Qian Cheng’s eyes.

With Lightning Steed’s divine speed, they couldn’t even touch him…

And with Jiang Cheng’s terrifying damage, no one on the Temple’s side could stop him for even a second…

Unable to stop Jiang Cheng’s Lightning Steed, they also couldn’t hit Jiang Cheng sitting on the horse’s back.

The plan to rely on sheer numbers to stack control skills and stun him to death had also failed.

At this rate, it might only be a matter of time before all ten thousand Temple players were killed…

With no other choice, Qian Cheng could only give this order!

“This… Commander, if the plan fails, we’ll be thrown out by the president!”

“When it’s time to cut losses, we must. We can still salvage some losses. Listen to me, it’s not wrong.”

Qian Cheng stopped Bai Zhan’s persuasion and directly ordered.

“The Black Skeleton’s strength…” Qian Cheng said, suddenly falling silent for a moment, as if weighing something,

“It’s beyond my imagination!”

“His mount is too overpowered. If we continue fighting, it will only cause greater losses.”

“I’ll explain to the president.”

“Then… is this it?” Bai Zhan still felt unwilling.

“The plan was about to succeed, yet such a turn of events occurred. Sigh.”

Qian Cheng shook his head,

“Heh, actually, we might have been wrong from the start. Our plan was never going to succeed from beginning to end.”

“What do you mean?” Although Bai Zhan felt regretful and very unwilling, he still couldn’t quite understand Qian Cheng’s words.

Wasn’t it because of that demon dragon’s interference that they lost?

“Have you considered, with the speed of the Black Skeleton’s divine horse, plus the intimidation of the demon dragon, how simple it would have been for the Black Skeleton to break through if he wanted to?”

Qian Cheng sighed, “But in fact, not only did he not break through, he stayed behind.”

“Commander, are you saying?” A shocked expression appeared on Bai Zhan’s face, his heart surging with astonishment.

Seeing his reaction, Qian Cheng knew he understood and said, “Perhaps, from the very beginning, the Black Skeleton’s plan was never to break through, but to…”

“Kill all the players in this operation!”

*Hiss*…

Although he had guessed it, after hearing Qian Cheng’s words, Bai Zhan couldn’t help but draw in a cold breath.

“It seems he knew all along how many ambushes were here. Everything was just an illusion he created!”

“The Temple… has suffered another crushing defeat…”

Bai Zhan sighed, then issued the order, “Plan failed, everyone, cease attack and begin retreat!”

As soon as the order was given, the players who were being killed and running around chaotically all rejoiced.

“Retreat quickly, there’s no way to fight this!”

Someone shouted.

Instantly, the remaining eight thousand plus Temple players went into full retreat mode, wishing they had four legs, screaming as they fled.

But Jiang Cheng, who had plundered 32 points of strength, 41 points of agility, and three class skills, was already in a killing frenzy. How could he let them go?

So, the most absurd scene in online gaming history was born.

A skeleton riding a white horse, carrying a sleeping girl, chasing and killing over eight thousand players!

Passerby players were all dumbfounded.

“Holy crap, what’s going on here…”

“My god… did they kick an iron plate? Or accidentally hit an ultimate boss?”

“Awesome, this is the first time I’ve seen such a grand scene, it’s spectacular.”

“But these players, don’t they look like they’re from the Temple’s Purple Wisteria branch?”

“Over ten thousand players from a Temple branch being chased by a skeleton? How is this possible? Am I seeing things?”

The players were all amazed, doubting their own eyes.

…

At the foot of Dragon Trap Mountain.

At this moment, two groups were facing off against each other.

On one side was the Rose Legion, one of the Temple’s top ten legions, led by Emei Ci who had just suffered a defeat in the Blood Hell Forbidden Land.

On the other side was the newly established Fist Dominates Mountains and Rivers guild, led by Fist Sage Zhen Shanhe.

After receiving news of Jiang Cheng being surrounded, he instantly gathered the members of Fist Dominates Mountains and Rivers, completing the guild join process in three minutes.

He brought 999 members of Fist Dominates Mountains and Rivers to Dragon Trap Mountain.

However, on the way, they encountered Emei Ci who was rushing over.

“Old He, you guys are really underhanded.” Emei Ci didn’t order the Rose Legion members to attack Fist Dominates Mountains and Rivers.

Instead, she stopped in front of Fist Sage, sneering.

Because Fist Dominates Mountains and Rivers was now a guild, which meant they could use battle formations and guild mode.

Having battle formations could increase their overall attributes.

With guild mode, they didn’t have to worry about friendly fire and could go all out.

While her Rose Legion, in a chaotic battle, would need to consider friendly fire, definitely fighting with reservations and caution.

If they really fought, her Rose Legion would very likely be completely wiped out.

This was the essential difference between establishing a guild and not establishing one.

“When it comes to being underhanded, I think no one is more shameless than your Temple, actually setting up a ten-sided ambush against a skeleton in Dragon Trap Mountain. It’s utterly shameless.”

Fist Sage coldly laughed, scoffing at Emei Ci’s words.

“The victor becomes the king, the loser becomes the outlaw. There’s nothing more to say.” Emei Ci’s face reddened at Fist Sage’s words, feeling slightly embarrassed.

“But Old He, blocking me is useless. This time, our Temple has mobilized over ten thousand experts, led by the commander of the Temple’s number one legion, the Royal Knight Squad, Qian Cheng. Your friend might have already returned to the resurrection point by now.”

Emei Ci said coldly, “Unfortunately, the resurrection point after dying in Dragon Trap Mountain is in Blood Void City, and in Blood Void City, well, our Temple still has some people.”

“I came just to see the myth shattered. Actually, what you should be doing now is leading your team to the resurrection point in Blood Void City to break through the siege there. Perhaps you might still be able to save A Silly Cutie. Otherwise, she might need to stay there for three months, until our Temple establishes its guild.”

A hint of a smile appeared on Emei Ci’s cool face.

But the next moment, screams from the distance made her expression change.

“Don’t save any skills, use anything that can increase movement speed, run as fast as you can!”

“Everyone split up and run! The Black Skeleton is only one person, he can’t chase all of us!”

“Vice President, it’s the Temple’s Purple Wisteria Bloom! They… seem to be running away…” Hai Tang, beside Emei Ci, changed expression and blurted out.

Emei Ci: “…”
