With Ning Xi casually using a single skill, a huge wave of 1,000,000+ damage easily killed dozens of high-level players from the Super God Guild.
Everyone on the field was completely dumbfounded.
They had thought the 200,000-plus damage Lin Mo had dealt was already the peak.
But they never expected that the Elemental Mage Liuli whom they had looked down on would actually deal seven-figure damage, far more than several times Lin Mo's.
"What the hell!"
"What kind of damage is that?"
"Seven-figure damage? Holy shit!"
On the field, the Super God Guild players looked at one another, exchanging bewildered glances.
As for Lin Mo and Ning Xi, the provocation from Super God had successfully ignited the killing intent of the two.
"I'll give you a chance."
"Who's your guild leader?"
"Forget it. Looks like you can't make use of this chance anyway."
"Better leave it for your master."
As he spoke, Lin Mo gripped Illusory World·Wrath of Thunder.
Ning Xi followed with the divine weapon Soul Devourer in hand.
Two SSS-rank talent holders.
Carrying the powerful auras of the first and second places on the Heavenly Ranking, they advanced toward the north gate of Ghost King City.
The Genesis Guild players did not dare to stop them at all.
They had already retreated three hundred yards away.
Only the Super God Guild players stationed at the north gate of Ghost King City were left to face Lin Mo and Ning Xi approaching straight at them. They immediately felt a tremendous pressure they had never encountered over at Starshine City.
Everyone held their blades up in defense while involuntarily retreating…
[At the same time, inside Ghost King City]
The battle had already stopped.
Everyone's attention was focused on the north gate.
They could not see the details clearly.
They only saw that, amid wave after wave of screams that rang through the sky, patch after patch of white light gradually pressed inward from the direction of Ghost King City's north gate.
This scene made every Super God Guild player present involuntarily feel tense and inexplicably frightened.
"This… what the hell is coming over?"
"Don't tell me that's Rulebound?"
"Sis Na, are you sure this Rulebound we're dealing with is a player? Not a god-level BOSS?"
"Fuck! How is this any different from a damn ghost showing up?"
Even Super God Athena felt her mouth go dry.
She hurriedly pulled Ling Xue, who had only 1 HP left, in front of her and pressed the cold blade directly against Ling Xue's fair neck.
It seemed that only with this hostage in her hands could she feel a little at ease.
Looking across the entire field.
Only Qin Ming remained calm and composed, his gaze as tranquil as water, with even a hint of anticipation in it.
Because everything he had done was for the sake of seeing his fiancée, Chu Xinran, as soon as possible.
And now, he could feel that he was getting closer and closer to Chu Xinran.
Soon...
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
As a white figure as fast as lightning flashed through the street ahead...
-423685!
-396452!
-402739!
Under a large wave of astonishing white true damage, the last dozens of Super God Guild players scattered across the streets were all wiped out.
The next moment, the Ancestral-level Heavenly Bewitching Fox Clan Empress·Ah Li, in human form, appeared within the sights of Qin Ming, Ji Ningshuang, and Super God Athena.
Her bearing was exceptional.
Beneath her pure and playful face lay hidden killing intent.
Following close behind were Lin Mo and Ning Xi.
The two of them had forcibly killed their way through the entire Super God Guild.
No one could stop them.
Facing the two SSS-rank talent powerhouses with such terrifying strength, Super God Athena forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart.
The cold, sharp blade in her hand moved one step closer to Ling Xue's fair neck.
"Rulebound! If you don't want your guild leader Ming Yue Xin to be crippled, hand over Soul Devourer!"
"Her crime value has already reached at least 5,000 points! If she dies in this state, her level will instantly drop back to the teens. She'll be finished!"
Obviously, although Super God Athena did not have Lin Mo's SSS-rank magic scroll, Ultimate Kill·Ten Thousand Tribulations Eternal Ruin, she was not short of methods.
She had deliberately used the white-name players from the Genesis Guild to feed Ling Xue, raising her crime value in order to greatly increase the death penalty.
At this moment, Qin Ming also "reminded" Lin Mo, saying, "As the guild leader of Divine Nation, Ming Yue Xin's identity and significance are extraordinary. If she is crippled, it won't just affect her personally."
"The morale and development of the entire Divine Nation Guild will also be affected."
Ji Ningshuang followed, "Ming Yue Xin is your superior, after all, and I know she has treated you well."
"As long as you hand over Soul Devourer, we'll let her go! Don't worry, we'll definitely keep our word."
Before Lin Mo could respond, Ling Xue, who was being held hostage by Super God Athena, hurriedly said to Lin Mo, "Don't worry about me!"
"Lin Mo!"
"You absolutely cannot hand Soul Devourer over to them!"
"Their goal is to use Soul Devourer to restore the Ghost King, then use the Ghost King to deal with you!"
Ling Xue looked at Lin Mo, endless urgency and worry showing in her beautiful eyes.
She was afraid that Lin Mo would really agree to Qin Ming and Ji Ningshuang.
"This is just a game. Even if I'm crippled, it doesn't matter. At worst, I can level up again."
"But you're different! Lin Mo!"
"You're the hope of Divine Nation!"
"You're the hope of the Ling Clan!"
"And you're… my only hope!"
Lin Mo hesitated for only a moment.
Then he said to Ning Xi, "Xiao Xi, give it to me."
"Brother Mo!"
"Boss!"
"Senior Lin Mo!"
"Think this through!"
Qin Feng, Ling Xiao, and Xia Wanwan, who had come to Ghost King City with Lin Mo, all grew tense.
Ning Xi also looked deeply at Lin Mo with her clear eyes and asked, "Brother Lin Mo."
"Are you sure?"
Lin Mo nodded, "I'm sure."
"Okay," Ning Xi no longer hesitated. She immediately opened the equipment interface, manually removed the binding, and handed the unbound divine weapon Soul Devourer to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo held Soul Devourer in his hand and said to Ling Xue, "Thanks to President Ling's heavy investment in training me and looking after me during this time, I was able to get where I am today."
"You also said it. Since I'm Divine Nation's only hope, then now is precisely the time when hope needs to be ignited."
As he spoke, no matter how Ling Xue tried to stop him, Lin Mo resolutely said to Qin Ming, "Deal's done. Let her go."
"Good."
The two sides reached an agreement.
Lin Mo directly threw Soul Devourer to Qin Ming.
The moment Qin Ming caught this dark magic staff and confirmed that it really was the divine weapon [Soul Devourer], even he himself had never expected that the divine weapon Soul Devourer he had painstakingly pursued, the only thing capable of eliminating the weakened state of the Ghost King's Soul Manipulator·Zade, would come so easily.
And after confirming that Qin Ming had successfully obtained Soul Devourer, Super God Athena beside him let out a cold laugh, the corners of her mouth lifting.
"They agreed to let Ming Yue Xin go."
"I didn't!"
With that, Super God Athena was about to exert force with her right hand and finish off Ling Xue, who had only 1 HP remaining.
Boom!
As if he had anticipated this, Qin Ming reacted instantly and rapidly cast the S-rank talent [Invincible Shield] (summon a shield within a designated area, granting the people inside the shield 1 second of invincibility, with a 10-second cooldown), covering Ling Xue and blocking Super God Athena's killing blow.
He gave Super God Athena no chance to strike a second time.
Under Qin Ming's mental command, thirteen Skeleton Warriors surged forward, forcing Super God Athena back and rescuing Ling Xue from her hands.
"You!", Super God Athena glared fiercely at Qin Ming, her eyes full of resentment.
Qin Ming calmly said, "You didn't agree to let her go."
"But I did."
After saying that, under Qin Ming's mental command, the Skeleton Warriors safely escorted Ling Xue to Lin Mo and Ning Xi.
"Lin Mo! You shouldn't have done this for me…"
At this moment, Ling Xue felt nothing but endless guilt and self-blame inside, unable to face Lin Mo.
Because if she had not been taken hostage, Lin Mo would not have handed Soul Devourer over.
"I said before that I would help you resolve the company's crisis."
Lin Mo said, "That includes when you're the one facing a crisis."
Ling Xue looked at Lin Mo.
A faint light flickered in her beautiful eyes.
Deep in her heart, she was faintly moved.
"For me, Lin Mo was actually able to hand over something this important, something that could threaten his life…"
Just then...
Whoosh!
A mass of black energy appeared.
The Ghost King, Soul Manipulator·Zade, flew out from Qin Ming's pet space.
After obtaining Soul Devourer from Qin Ming, Soul Manipulator·Zade gripped Soul Devourer and let out a suppressed, long-awaited howl, "Hehehehehe…"
"Soul Devourer!"
"I finally have you!"
"The damn divine power remaining inside my body from the Godbinding Chains, the power that has been suppressing my strength, can finally be completely crushed!"
At present, Soul Devourer was in a sealed state.
It needed the bloodline of a Ghost Clan King or above to unseal it.
Thus, Soul Manipulator·Zade immediately injected his own blood into Soul Devourer.
Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~
Soul Devourer gradually began to flash with waves of blood-red light.
After absorbing enough blood of a Ghost Clan King...
Crash!
A powerful dark aura that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth suddenly burst forth from the staff.
Soul Manipulator·Zade held Soul Devourer and could not help but howl again.
"This king is finally going to recover his complete form!"
With that, as Soul Manipulator·Zade raised Soul Devourer high, the entire scene fell silent.
There was no reaction at all.
"What's going on?"
"Why is this happening!"
"Why hasn't the divine power inside this king's body been shattered!"
Just as Soul Manipulator·Zade, along with Qin Ming, Ji Ningshuang, and Super God Athena, all felt utterly baffled, across from them, Lin Mo and Ning Xi remained completely calm.
It seemed that this result had long been within their expectations.
Lin Mo looked at Soul Devourer in Soul Manipulator·Zade's hand.
He smiled calmly and said, "Since it's already unsealed."
"Then give it back."
After saying that, Lin Mo raised Illusory World·Wrath of Thunder, locking onto Soul Manipulator·Zade, who was still in a weakened state.
