Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 90 Burning
three minutes.

Unlike the four minutes of the mutated giant scorpion or the ten minutes of the mutated blood bat.

This time, in just three minutes, a figure emerged from the thick fog.

The moment this figure appeared, even though they were dozens of meters apart, a chilling, trembling aura still emanated from this undead creature.

Aura of Fear!

This creature possesses a natural power that instills fear in intelligent beings!

Creatures with a spirit value below 15 will be affected and unable to unleash their full potential.

Creatures smaller than 10 kilos would not only be unable to resist, but might even be scared to death by the terrifying power emanating from it.

However, for the fuyu, which was more than forty meters away, the effect of this fear was negligible.

Even when facing this monster head-on, his mental strength remained unaffected, maintaining its level of 20.4.

"call out!"

Almost the instant the monster emerged from the pit, a fully charged arrow pierced the air, shooting towards the pit at a speed exceeding 100 meters per second.

The mutated blood skeleton sensed the impending danger immediately. Its massive body displayed incredible agility as it dodged the crossbow bolts. At the same time, it seemed to be about to leap out of the deep pit!
but……

This flaming crossbow bolt was never meant to kill this massive mutated blood skeleton!

It was to detonate the straw doll dust scattered throughout the pits!
The instant the rocket made contact with the dust...

The flames blazed!

A blinding white light suddenly burst forth from the depths of the pit, its intense brightness undiminished even by the thick fog.

"Boom!"

The violently released waves of fire expanded at an incredible speed, compressing the air and creating visible ripples.

The intense heat, mixed with terrifying shockwaves, raged and crushed inside the cave. Countless shattered rocks were pulverized by the shockwaves before they could even be ejected, and then melted into liquid by the thousands of degrees of heat.

A deafening roar, mixed with flames, smoke, and rubble, erupted from the inverted conical opening, transforming into a giant pillar of smoke and flame that crashed against the cave ceiling, hurling countless rubble of varying sizes in all directions.

Fortunately, the explosion occurred in a crater, more than forty meters away from the floating creature.

Otherwise, the shockwave from the explosion might have also caused damage to his body.

And right now, some of the debris being thrown and falling...

Ji Fuyou ignored him completely.

His mental perception was stimulated to the extreme. He didn't dare to blink. While gripping his short gun tightly, he stared intently at the crater that was shrouded in mist but was still incredibly dazzling.

And they did their utmost to investigate any slight movement inside.

The high temperature and intense burning of sulfur filled the air throughout the cave with the pungent smell of ozone.

"Roar!"

The next moment, a massive figure engulfed in raging flames burst forth from the pit.

Even though he no longer had vocal cords and was just a skeleton, the roar, filled with boundless rage, still resonated in his mind in a spiritual way, carrying a kind of spiritual impact similar to "deterrence" and "fear," shaking Ji Fuyou's mind.

Blood Skull!

It was detonated by hundreds of kilograms of straw doll dust...

Even though the explosion occurred in the relatively confined environment of a pit, the undead creature was still alive, its entire body engulfed in raging flames, roaring out from the billowing dust and flames.

That kind of intimidating, fear-inducing effect...

If it were anyone else, even a sub-advanced mental energy user with a mental energy value exceeding 15, they might be so terrified at this moment that they would lose control of their body.

but……

Ji Fuyou fought this immortal monster dozens of times.

After countless life-or-death battles, he had long since lost much of his fear of this immortal monster!

he knows……

The mutated blood skeleton's energy core is the Soul Flame.

Open flames, on the other hand, can significantly weaken the power of soul flames.

The intense explosion and flames just now...

This mutated blood skeleton must be at its last gasp!
now……

A desperate struggle!

It's all about who can maintain the most stable mindset during the attack and hold out until the end!
He gripped his short gun tightly, his body like a drawn bow, his gaze fixed on the colossal figure hurtling towards him amidst blazing flames. His spirit, will, and strength seemed to coalesce into one at that moment. All was silent.

The sound of wind, fire, and roaring...

They all disappeared.

In his eyes, all that remained was the mutated blood skeleton burning fiercely in front of him, desperately attacking.

as well as……

I had calculated the location of the cave in my mind countless times before.

"tread!"

In an instant, Ji Fuyou moved.

With a single movement, the power throughout his body seemed to be stretched into a giant python, coursing through his entire being and merging with his blazing, boiling battle intent, all of which poured into the short spear in his hand, facing the fiery figure that was about to pounce out of the mist, accompanied by an aura of fear...

He threw it out with a vengeance!

"call out!"

Gun intent!?
Sword Intention! ?
This moment is no longer important.

The unwavering will within the short gun, carrying an unshakeable sharpness, instantly tore apart the less than thirty-meter distance between itself and the blood skull.

Despite the fog obstructing the view, this shot was like a thunderbolt sweeping through the darkness, crashing into the groin of the mutated blood skeleton as it lunged forward!
"Oh!"

A muffled booming sound came from the mist!
The short gun's unique design caused it to release an astonishing shockwave the moment it hit the mutated blood skeleton, instantly shattering most of the mutated blood skeleton's spine.

The impact caused the enormous creature, which had just been charging forward with such ferocity and menacing aura, to abruptly halt, its massive body seemingly about to be cleaved in two...

As it paused, Ji Fuyou's second short spear shot out!

This shot...

Taking advantage of the terrifying monster's loss of balance, like a giant arrow fired from a siege crossbow, carrying enough force to shatter rocks, it slammed into the mutated blood skeleton's shoulder blade!
"Oh!"

A second, crisp sound of bones cracking rang out!
Through the mist, one could vaguely see the mutated blood skeleton's arm bones being blasted away by the violent impact.

Also blasted away was the huge steel fork it was tightly gripping in its hand!
Without the slightest hesitation after the second shot, it followed immediately...

The third shot! The fourth shot! The fifth shot!
Five short guns in total!

Throughout the entire process of Ji Fuyou, he hardly aimed at anything.

He relied entirely on his intimate knowledge of the area's coordinates, his memory of the mutated blood skeleton's dynamic behavior from dozens of life-or-death battles, and a tiny bit of...

The guidance brought by keen mental perception!
Five short guns, each no more than 1.6 meters long, were like cannonballs fired from small-caliber artillery, bombarding the mutated blood skeleton that rushed out of the fog and headed straight for him!

"Bang bang bang bang!"

A large number of bones were blasted away in all directions by the specially constructed short gun, and broken parts were scattered in all directions, lying in the distance of more than forty meters between it and Ji Fuyou.

When the terrifying mutated blood skeleton finally broke through the fog and entered within ten meters of Ji Fuyou's field of vision, the sixth short gun in Ji Fuyou's hand shot out like a bullet fired from a heavy sniper rifle, accompanied by a piercing whistle!
"die!"

The unyielding sword intent shattered the aura of fear, its unstoppable sharpness aimed directly at the chest of the mutated blood skeleton!
To be precise, it was a ball of eerie blue flame inside his chest, encased in countless ribs!
Soul Flame.

During this process, the mutated blood skeleton tried to swing its steel fork to defend itself, but...

Its hands had already been blasted into pieces by the pistol and were scattered all over the ground.

Even the ribs protecting the soul flame on his chest were broken in several places, completely exposing this fatal weakness.

In this state, the ball of soul flame was hit on the spot without any suspense when facing the close-range attack of the sixth short spear!
The moment the two collided, one was a solid and the other was a flame, yet they produced a sound like metal clashing!
The ball of soul flame trembled slightly like a piece of porcelain that had been struck, and then exploded with a bang the next second.

"Roar!"

The mutated blood skeleton let out a mournful, resentful shriek.

However, the out-of-control soul flames spread too quickly, instantly engulfing the blood skeleton's massive body. In just one or two seconds, it burned all of its remaining blood-red skeleton, less than half of its body, to ashes.

Burn to death.

The mutated blood skeleton, which was just moments ago so powerful and arrogant, was burned to black ash by the out-of-control soul flames without even leaving behind any bones!

Nothing is left.

Do not!
It's not that there's absolutely no residue!

In the black ash left after the bones were burned...

There were three irregularly shaped crystals inside, shimmering brightly.
