[Lv45 Ghost Graveyard]
At this moment, a full four to five hundred high-level players, all with the prefix [Blood Dance] above their IDs, were doing everything they could to restrain an eight-meter-tall BOSS clad in ice armor, wearing a shadow cloak, and wielding a gigantic frost greatsword—
Level 45 Tier-4 BOSS: Lich King · Gais!
The first Tier-4 major BOSS to appear within the territory of the Blazing Ember City had drawn countless independent players nearby to watch.
Outside the graveyard, the players looked at the grand scene of Blood Dance players battling the BOSS inside the graveyard. Even just watching made their blood boil with excitement.
Player A: "Holy crap! A Tier-4 BOSS! Its value has to be at least seven figures, right?"
Player B: "Seven figures? Are you kidding? Rulebound bought a Tier-3 BOSS for three million! And you're saying this Tier-4 BOSS is only worth one million? Add another zero at least!"
Player C: "A walking ten million? Guys, I've got an idea!"
Player D: "Stop dreaming. The Blood Dance guild has so many people here, and everyone is level 32–33. These are all top-tier players in the Blazing Ember City. You dare try to steal a BOSS from them? Even they can barely handle it, so if we go up there we're just asking to get beaten."
Player E: "I only know that the stronger guilds in Blazing Ember City are Dragon Soul, Chaotic World, Supreme, and Phantom. Where did this Blood Dance guild come from? They're this strong too?"
Player F: "It's probably a guild from the capital, Imperial City. I heard Blood Dance's main force is in Wind Snow City. What we're seeing here in Blazing Ember City is just a small branch of their guild."
Player G: "Holy crap! A small branch already has this many people? How strong must the entire Blood Dance guild be then."
Player H: "I've got a friend in Imperial City who's in the Blood Dance guild. Yesterday he posted on social media. There was a snapshot he took of their guild leader. Their leader is actually a pair of twin sisters! Damn, they're young and gorgeous!"
Player I: "Really? I want to join Blood Dance too! The twin sisters aren't important. What matters is I like the atmosphere of a big guild like this." [T/N: Yeah, yeah, sure.]

On the battlefield—
The Blood Dance guild players knew they were no match for this Level 45 Tier-4 BOSS, the Lich King, so they mainly focused on defense.
The knights formed a surrounding circle around the Lich King, shields raised, all defensive skills activated.
Priests on the outer perimeter continuously provided buffs and healing.
Archers and mages cooperated with the witch-class players, using various control-effect skills to restrain the Lich King!
Even so, the Lich King still broke through Blood Dance's encirclement with ease.
Accompanied by waves of miserable screams, white lights kept flashing inside the graveyard.
The Blood Dance guild was suffering heavy casualties.
At this moment, the Blood Dance players were clearly panicking.
"The BOSS summoned by Second Miss is way too strong!"
"Why hasn't Rulebound arrived yet? We can't hold on much longer!"
Among the crowd, the girl with tight cyan chainmail armor, a tall figure, and breathtaking beauty, the level 33 Heavenly Ranking No.25 Divine Marksman Ruoxi, also glanced at the countdown timer above the BOSS's head from time to time, looking somewhat anxious.
Just then, Lin Mo and Ning Xi entered the Ghost Graveyard.
Seeing this Tier-4 BOSS Lich King with his own eyes, Lin Mo couldn't help feeling excited.
At the same time, he noticed that above the Lich King's head there was a red countdown timer.
Time remaining: 47 minutes 25 seconds.
Lin Mo couldn't help feeling suspicious.
'In the world of Divine Oracle, monsters that have time limits usually aren't naturally spawned. They're summoned artificially by players through special methods such as magic scrolls or forbidden-level summoning spells. Once the time runs out, if the BOSS hasn't been killed, it will disappear.'
'Could it be that this BOSS was summoned by the Blood Dance guild?'
Thinking of this made Lin Mo even more shocked.
Because if it was summoned through a magic scroll, then at the current stage, being able to summon a Tier-4 BOSS meant the scroll had to be at least S-rank.
But how could something like that exist in a level-three main city?
And if it was summoned through a skill, that would be even more terrifying.
Because the rarity of forbidden-level summoning skills was dozens of times rarer than S-rank magic scrolls.
Whoever created this BOSS was truly a genius.
At this moment, the Blood Dance players holding the front line against the BOSS noticed Lin Mo arriving and immediately became delighted.
"Rulebound is here!"
Level 43 Soul Archer · Rulebound!
Level 36 Elemental Mage · Liuli!
The appearance of the two top-ranked players on the Heavenly Ranking instantly shocked everyone present.
When Ruoxi turned and saw Lin Mo entering the Ghost Graveyard, she was also instantly delighted.
"So he's the number one on the Blazing Ember City Heavenly Ranking, Rulebound?"
"I didn't expect him to be this young. Looking at that game name, I always thought he was some weird middle-aged guy."
"Huh? He's actually pretty handsome."
"Whether it's strength, age, or looks, he's all at an excellent-plus level. No wonder even that demoness Ling Xue values him so much."
At this moment, Lin Mo withdrew his gaze from the Lich King.
He looked toward Ruoxi, who had messaged him earlier, and said, "Let me name a price. Eight million?"
Unexpectedly, Ruoxi agreed without hesitation.
"Deal!"
Lin Mo didn't waste time either.
Before killing the BOSS, he asked Ruoxi for her bank card number and transferred the eight million to her.
And this scene happened to be captured by Divine Nation · Judge, who had been secretly watching for an opportunity.
"I knew it!"
"Rulebound, you really do have dealings with the Blood Dance guild."
Seizing this opportunity, Divine Nation Judge immediately activated Divine Oracle's built-in game video recording function and recorded the scene of Lin Mo and Blood Dance's vice guild leader Ruoxi trading in real time.
At the same time he laughed smugly.
"When I send this video to President Ling, Rulebound, your career in Divine Nation will be finished. And I'll step on you as I climb higher and higher."

On the battlefield—
After the transfer was completed, Lin Mo said to Ruoxi, "Tell your people to withdraw."
Since it was their first meeting. In order to quickly build a good impression in front of Lin Mo and pave the way for recruiting him into the Blood Dance guild later, Han Ruoxi smiled gently at Lin Mo.
"How about letting my guild help you take down the BOSS?"
"No need," Lin Mo replied indifferently, "I'll handle it myself."
Seeing Lin Mo say that, Han Ruoxi didn't insist.
She ordered the Blood Dance players surrounding the Lich King BOSS, "Everyone withdraw from the BOSS's attack range! Cancel all attacks!"
Canceling attacks meant they wouldn't share the BOSS kill rewards.
On this point, Han Ruoxi handled things well enough that Lin Mo had nothing to complain about. Compared to the players who had sold him BOSSes before, she was much more self-aware.
"Yes!"
The Blood Dance players obeyed the order and retreated outward.
Lin Mo glanced at Ning Xi beside him.
"Stand behind me."
"Okay!"
In the eyes of outsiders, she was an icy queen. But in front of Lin Mo alone, Ning Xi had none of the arrogance of the number one Heavenly Ranking player. When he said stand behind him, she simply shifted and stood right behind him.
At the same time, Lin Mo raised the Venom Crossbow and walked toward the Lich King.
Around them, the Blood Dance players started discussing among themselves.
"This Lich King is a Level 45 Tier-4 BOSS. Even if Rulebound killed BOSSes all day today, the highest he killed were Tier-3, and those were only level thirty-something BOSSes."
"Just the two of them, him and Liuli, can they really handle the Lich King?"
Everyone was doubtful.
Only Han Ruoxi watched Lin Mo with eyes full of expectation and admiration.
"Let me see what level your strength has truly reached. Is it worth the entire energy of my S-rank talent to summon this BOSS specifically for you?"
On the battlefield, Lin Mo looked at the Lich King, his eyes filled with the desire to kill.
"The Venom Set skill has evolved into Immune to Ten Thousand Poisons, and with the bonus from the golden title Divine Gear Wielder, my strength has already improved quite a bit."
"Perfect. I'll use you to test just how strong my real combat power has become."
