Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 103 Siege and Killing
"how come……"

"Such a thing is possible!?"

Yang Kaitai, Guan Yue, Liu Yiren, and Xiao Hanxue, who was blasted away but managed to get back up after using a Source Crystal.

Everyone felt a chilling cold seeping into their bones.

"Soul Flame!"

Ji Fuyou couldn't help but think of the mutated blood skeleton that could still fight its way out of the dust explosion.

It seems that it was this energy that offset the high temperature, flames, and impact of the dust explosion, thus saving its life.

but……

This method will obviously consume soul flames.

Once the Soul Flame weakens, the Blood Skull's strength and defense will also decline.

"Use fire!"

Ji Fuyou suddenly turned to Yu Chen behind him: "Molotov cocktails! Also, make more Molotov cocktails! Don't use gasoline! The fog suppresses the efficiency of gasoline! Use alcohol!"

"Yes!"

Yu Chen responded quickly, imitating Ji Fuyou's method. After a few sprints, he leaped up and climbed out of the window to the second floor.

Almost as soon as he reached the second floor, the Blood Skull brandished its spikes, its hollow maw suddenly opening wide, emitting a silent roar.

At the same time as the roar, a chilling terror instantly spread from the monster's center.

Not to mention Guan Yue, who was at the forefront, even Fang Qiyun, who was more than ten meters away and at the very back, felt an uncontrollable fear rising in his heart.

Every cell in her body seemed to be reminding her, protesting her—run! Run!
Aura of Fear!

This is the aura of fear!
"We can't beat them! We can't beat them! How can we possibly defeat this monster!"

Immediately, some martial artists with low mental strength collapsed.

"team leader!"

Those in better condition quickly sought help from Yang Kaitai and Liu Yiren.

but……

Even the other two deputy senior mental ability users in the team were pale-faced.

"We are not entirely immune to the effects of the power of fear..."

He couldn't even handle it himself, let alone help other martial artists.

Conservatively speaking, the mental value needs to be at least 18 seconds to remain unaffected.

"This monster...we can't deal with it using conventional methods!"

Liu Yiren said.

"Now is not the time for us to decide whether or not to deal with this monster, but... if we don't kill it, we won't be able to escape!"

Yang Kaitai's face was stern.

At this moment, Liu Yiren noticed that because of the delay, a large number of skeleton monsters and giant scorpions quickly surrounded her.

There were also a considerable number of blood bats in the air responsible for locating the target.

They have lost their last chance to break through.

"Mr. Ji, a Molotov cocktail!"

At that moment, Yu Chen's figure peeked out of the window.

Undead monsters are afraid of fire.

Thanks to this common sense, the surviving security guards in the police station had made a lot of Molotov cocktails, which they can now use directly.

"Give me!"

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he immediately turned to Liu Yiren, Yang Kaitai, and the others: "Flames can weaken the Blood Skull's soul flame! Once its soul flame dims, not only will it be unable to use this energy protection, but its strength and speed will also decrease!"

He quickly took over the command: "Captain Yang, Ms. Liu, you two assist Master Guan and Ms. Xiao in engaging the Blood Skull! The rest of you, prevent the surrounding skeleton monsters from getting close! I'll light the fire!"

Yang Kaitai and Liu Yiren were taken aback.

Will the intense fire dim its soul flame and cause it to lose this ability?

Will strength and speed also decline?

"I've fought this kind of monster before!"

Ji Fuyou said in a deep voice.

Yang Kaitai, Liu Yiren, and even Xiao Hanxue, who had recovered, all showed a slight change in their expressions.

"I'll listen to Mr. Ji!"

Yang Kaitai made a decisive decision.

"Ji Fuyou, I'm temporarily selling my life to you!"

Xiao Hanxue also shouted and faced the Blood Skull head-on with her axe.

Liu Yiren quickly cast a divine spell on her, making her fighting spirit even stronger.

You can unleash twelve times your full potential with ten times your strength!

"And me?"

Fang Qiyun, who was standing to the side, asked.

"Blood Bat!"

Ji Fuyou gave a brief response.

At the same time, seizing an opportunity, three Molotov cocktails were thrown in succession at a specific frequency and angle.

This mutated blood skeleton didn't recognize the creature yet, but its reaction was extremely fast, wielding its steel fork and tearing through the air.

"Oh!"

The flames exploded!

The splashed alcohol instantly stained the mutated blood skeleton's body.

Especially the two Molotov cocktails that followed, because they accurately judged the Blood Skull's startled reaction and behavior pattern, even though it was consciously trying to avoid them, the two Molotov cocktails still turned into two raging flames and exploded on its body.

but……

The temperature of the combustion bottle is too low.

This level of fire was not enough to pose a fatal threat to it; instead, it thoroughly enraged the blood skeleton.

With a silent roar, the power of fear spread once more.

Everyone was forced to undergo another shock of fear.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Blood Skull slapped Guan Yue away with its fork. Bathed in blood, the monster strode forward, charging towards Ji Fuyou with incredible agility.

At the same time, it seemed to be roaring, issuing some commands.

Among the blood bats flying in the sky, there were three of them, which swooped down at the same time, like fighter jets soaring through the air, heading straight for Ji Fuyou.

At this moment, both Yu Chen and Fang Qiyun came in handy.

Crossbow bolts and spears simultaneously tore through the air currents, heading straight for the blood bats that were swooping down to attack.

As for Ji Fuyou himself...

His eyes gleamed, and his mental power surged, forming a vast net. Combined with his profound understanding of the blood bat's attack style, he precisely calculated all of the blood bat's attack trajectories.

Just as the blood bat was only a few meters away from him, his sword flashed out and pierced the blood bat's head with incredible speed.

In particular, when he unleashed the Heavenly Demon Disintegration technique, releasing all the power within his body, the physical strength he could unleash at this moment seemed, at first glance, to be no less than that of Xiao Hanxue.

He managed to block the massive body of the blood bat as it swooped down to attack, and then, with a kick, sent the blood bat crashing directly into the blood skeleton.

"careful!"

Yang Kaitai's exclamation came from behind.

Guan Yue was severely injured and had to use the Source Crystal to save his life again. Xiao Hanxue alone was no match for the rampaging Blood Skull.

With the blood bats causing a brief delay, the monster was now almost upon Ji Fuyou.

The two-meter-long steel fork swept out horizontally, its attack range so vast that it seemed to completely envelop Ji Fuyou's figure...

However, just as the steel fork whistled through the air, Ji Fuyou seemed to have anticipated it, and nimbly leaped up.

Immediately afterwards, two Molotov cocktails struck the Blood Skull's body at close range, causing the flames on its body, which had dimmed slightly, to boil fiercely once more.

As he threw out the two Molotov cocktails, Ji Fuyou did not hesitate for a moment before turning around in mid-air. The Blood Skull's steel fork, with the force of a 180-degree sweep, slammed into the short gun on his back.

"Oh!"

Under the violent force, Ji Fuyou was sent flying by the blow.

And as it flew out...

He thus escaped the Blood Skull's attack range.

In addition, Xiao Hanxue rushed up at this moment, leaping forward and slamming her axe down heavily on the Blood Skull's shoulder.

Bone fragments flew everywhere.

The axe cleaved a full foot into the blood skeleton's shoulder!
If it were human-sized, its entire arm could be removed.

"Its defenses have weakened!"

Yang Kaitai exclaimed in delight.

The severe injury to his arm forced the Blood Skull to turn its attack on Xiao Hanxue.

Taking advantage of the distraction caused by his own hatred, Ji Fuyou, who had been thrown away, tried his best to control his body and land steadily.

Feeling the pain as if his spine was about to snap, he didn't hesitate and quickly drew out the energy from a white source crystal, guiding it mentally to his back to heal his injuries.

"That's it!"

Ji Fuyou quickly directed the operation: "The Blood Skull's attacks follow a certain pattern. If you observe carefully, you can notice that its favorite attack is a horizontal sweep rather than a vertical thrust, and its attack angle also has a bias... When attacking from top to bottom, it often forms a 60-degree angle... In addition, when it attacks from left to right, its speed is 12 to 15 percent faster..."

His message resonated directly in the minds of Xiao Hanxue and Guan Yue with a "resonance" quality.

This meant that even though it was just a verbal introduction, the two of them absorbed the information with astonishing efficiency.

While directing the two to desperately entangle the Blood Skull, Ji Fuyou also threw out another Molotov cocktail, keeping the monster's flames burning non-stop.

The continuation of this situation finally made Blood Skull realize who his real threat was.

At some point...

It abandoned Guan Yue and Xiao Hanxue, who were locked in a fierce battle, and charged towards Ji Fuyou at full speed.

At this moment, Ji Fuyou realized something.

When this monster is in real danger, it will not run away or retreat. Instead, it will fixate on a target and fight with the determination to drag its opponent down with it, even if it dies, until it is dead!

With this thought in mind, he immediately ordered: "Attack with all your might!"

He even gestured to Fang Qiyun: "Sever its right hand!"

He himself stared intently at the blood-red skeleton lunging at him, gripping his short gun tightly.

Yang Kaitai, who was focused on the action, noticed that the Blood Skull was no longer paying attention to Guan Yue and Xiao Hanxue's attacks, and his expression immediately changed: "Mr. Ji, be careful! Keep your distance!"

"Monster, your opponent is me!"

Xiao Hanxue activated some kind of secret technique, roared, and her speed increased dramatically. She instantly caught up with the Blood Skull and swung her battle axe at the Blood Skull with the force of a thousand armies!

however……

Just as the attack was about to hit the Blood Skull, the Blood Skull, which was striding towards Ji Fuyou, suddenly leaped away, dodging Xiao Hanxue's attack and crossing the distance between them with incredible speed.

This sudden outburst caught everyone off guard.

"Get away!"

Even Liu Yiren couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Fang Qiyun immediately thrust out with his spear, wanting to protect Ji Fuyou with his own body.

But as she leaped out, something occurred to her, and she chose to trust Ji Fuyou's judgment.

The spear that pierced through the void transformed from a frontal attack into a blast aimed at the blood skull's arm.

Almost at the same moment Fang Qiyun thrust his spear, Ji Fuyou moved.

With the amplification of the power from the disintegration of the Heavenly Demon, all the power in his body was condensed into one, and like a subdued dragon, it perfectly merged with the short spear in his hand, and fiercely assassinated!

The spear tip was pointed directly at the blood-red skull's chest!

"careful!"

Yang Kaitai's voice echoed throughout the venue!
The next second, Fang Qiyun's short spear struck the blood skull's arm first.

The arm, which had already been cut open by Xiao Hanxue, was now struck again and shattered instantly.

Almost the instant the arm shattered, the soul flame within the blood skull seemed to flicker, breaking the balance.

In that split second of loss of balance, Ji Fuyou's short spear pierced through the air with a swift, decisive blow...

"Oh!"

The cold, sharp tip of the spear flashed like lightning, piercing through the gaps in the blood skull's ribs, like a dragon emerging from the sea, hurtling straight in, instantly...

A direct hit to the Soul Flame!
