Lu Lingxi and Lu Xinglan stood still, their spiritual energy surrounding them like a thin mist, revealing an extraordinary aura.

Before long, the force drew closer and closer. Lu Lingxi frowned, as did Lu Xinglan. His usually gentle face was now replaced by a serious expression.

Amidst this tense atmosphere, a flurry of hurried footsteps approached, followed by Han Mo's figure. Behind him followed four teenagers, each with a face etched with anxiety and exhaustion.

Behind them stood a legion of skeletons emanating black energy, their empty eye sockets glowing with an eerie green light, making them appear sinister and terrifying.

Lu Xinglan reacted quickly and decisively. He grabbed Lu Lingxi Yao's arm and pulled her tightly into his arms. With the help of spiritual power, the two of them sped forward like lightning.

However, a series of arrogant shouts came from behind, the voices filled with undeniable arrogance, "You from Lingyue Kingdom, don't run away, you can't escape!"

Faced with this urgent pursuit, Lu Xinglan and Lu Lingxi had no time to worry about the threats behind them, focusing only on moving forward with all their might.

After running for a while, Lu Lingxi Yao realized that even though they had passed so many intersections, why was Han Mo and his team, as well as that terrifying skeleton army, still chasing after them? This was very strange. How did Han Mo and his team find their location so accurately?

In the end, Lu Lingxi Yao made a decision; she signaled Lu Xinglan to stop.

Before long, Han Mo and his group staggered into view. They looked extremely disheveled, their clothes were rumpled and they were drenched in sweat, clearly nearing their physical limits. When they saw Lu Lingxi Yao and Lu Xinglan, the tension and fear on their faces gradually dissipated.

Han Mo shouted sternly, his tone full of command, "Lingyue Kingdom, quickly find a way to deal with those skeleton legions, or none of you will escape!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi glanced lightly at Han Mo, inwardly thinking: What a shameless guy! They're the ones who brought this trouble upon themselves, yet they expect her to solve it. How utterly shameless! However, reality was pressing, and she had no other choice.

Just then, a "crackling" sound, like a ghostly whisper, quietly rose from behind. It was the sound of the skeleton army rubbing their bones together, which was extremely eerie in the dark night.

Upon seeing this, Han Mo and his group immediately turned and ran away without making a sound, quickly putting distance between themselves and Lu Lingxi and Yao.

After a series of "cracks," a large horde of skeletons surged toward Lu Lingxi and Yao. Each of these skeleton warriors exuded a chilling aura of death, and their strength was comparable to that of a Spirit Emperor. If they were to deal with them one by one, there might still be a glimmer of hope, but facing this massive army of undead would be much more difficult.

Lu Lingxi said in a low voice, "Let's finish this quickly!"

She knew that delaying would only worsen the situation, and that unknown threats might be lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xinglan immediately nodded in agreement. They knew these dark creatures all too well—they were numerous and acted in unison. Even top experts could be doomed if they were not careful when facing such a group attack.

Hiding around the corner were Han Mo and several teenagers. One of the teenagers lowered his voice, his tone uncertain and apprehensive, and asked Han Mo, "Your Highness, those skeleton legions... can they really handle it?"

Upon hearing this, Han Mo's lips curled into a chilling sneer, a smile that carried an unfathomable coldness and confidence.

"Why not?" he countered.

His tone was unquestionable, “The Skeleton King is now under my control. How can these skeleton warriors not obey? Besides, each of these skeleton warriors is already very powerful, and now that they are gathered in groups, they are invincible. This first place is destined to belong to my Hopeless Kingdom.”

Upon hearing this, another boy immediately echoed him, a smug smile spreading across his face, his voice tinged with arrogance and pride.

"Your Highness is absolutely right! With this skeleton army as our backing, the contestants from other countries will probably only be able to look on in despair and obediently forfeit!"

At this moment, another young man echoed, his tone laced with ruthlessness, "Moreover, Your Highness, you can accurately grasp their movements. This time, the other four kingdoms are likely to suffer a major setback. However, Your Highness, His Majesty seems to have ordered us to eliminate as many opponents as possible..."

Han Mo waved his hand gently, interrupting the other person, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"Don't underestimate the others; they are all cunning and difficult to deal with. Right now, the most important thing is to get rid of these two stumbling blocks."

Lu Lingxi and Lu Xinglan stood back to back, facing the surging army of skeletons. Their figures appeared exceptionally small yet resolute.

With a soft murmur from Lu Lingxiyao, "Flame of Fire"

One after another, blazing fireballs, accompanied by whistling sounds, struck the skeleton army with unerring accuracy. Each explosion was accompanied by the skeletons' wails and disintegration. Flames raged among them, tearing a path through the horde of skeletons.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xinglan shouted, "Light Dimension Prison!"

The entire space was filled with a burst of light, and the light-elemental spiritual energy intertwined to form an invisible, transparent cage, tightly binding the remaining skeleton warriors within, preventing them from breaking free.

However, the skeleton army did not decrease as a result; instead, it instantly filled the empty spaces and then charged towards Lu Lingxi and Lu Xinglan even more frantically.

Faced with this overwhelming offensive, Lu Lingxi Yao shouted angrily, "Earth Wall Protection!"

Instantly, thick earth element quickly condensed, forming an indestructible barrier that tightly protected the two inside, withstanding the first fierce attack of the skeleton army.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xinglan's heart tightened, and he immediately unleashed an even stronger power, "Holy Light Hammer!"

In the sky, the light energy condensed into a giant hammer of light, carrying a light that could purify everything, and smashed heavily into the skeleton army. Each blow shattered the skeletons into pieces, but strangely, new skeletons seemed to be endless, filling every gap, and the battle reached a stalemate.

Faced with this despairing number, Lu Lingxi's mind raced as she searched for a way out.

At this critical moment, a glint of inspiration flashed in her eyes, and then a powerful spiritual force erupted from her body. Silently, she parted her lips and whispered, "Spatial Seal!"

Her right hand clenched into a fist, and with a gentle squeeze, as if opening an ancient door, the space began to tremble subtly. Then, Lu Lingxi and the large legion of skeletons in front of her suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing this, Lu Xinglan couldn't help but smile, her eyes full of admiration, "Yaoyao is really smart!"

Lu Lingxi's actions instantly reduced the number of skeletons by more than half, but the joy was short-lived, as new skeletons quickly filled the gaps, seemingly endless.

"What is the reason for this?" Looking at the scene before him, Lu Xinglan was filled with doubt, his brows furrowed.

On the other side, among the group of people who had hidden themselves, a young man asked haltingly, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "Your Highness...that woman, how did she suddenly disappear?"

Han Mo's face appeared exceptionally pale in the dim light, as if covered by a layer of frost. He said coldly, "Of course I saw it. Did you think I was blind?"

He had been confident that he could easily take down the two men, but he had not expected them to be so powerful. Even the ferocious skeleton army could not leave a single scratch on them. If it were him, he would probably have been devoured by the skeleton army long ago.

Han Mo's voice carried an undeniable resolve, "It seems that those two must be key figures in the Lingyue Kingdom!"

Mentioning the girl, a fierce glint flashed in Han Mo's eyes. Although others hadn't noticed her instant disappearance technique, he had seen it clearly. This person must not be allowed to live!

He gritted his teeth, his lips almost bleeding, and said, word by word, "They must die!"

As he spoke, Han Mo quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, preparing to command the Skeleton King to launch an even more ferocious attack.

As long as the Skeleton King remains under his control, he still has a chance to turn the tide. After all, this is an ancient battlefield, littered with bones, and countless souls are at his command. He firmly believes that as long as the skeleton army continues unabated, they will eventually exhaust their spiritual power in this endless sea of ​​bones.

However, just as Han Mo was about to launch his attack, his face suddenly turned bloodless, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and raging anger.

Seeing this, the others felt a pang of anxiety and quickly asked with concern, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Han Mo's lips trembled violently, his fists clenched tightly, as if he were gathering all his strength for this one moment. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse and desperate, "The Skeleton King... has been destroyed..."

The others from the Hopeless Kingdom were shocked to hear this news. Although they didn't know how Han Mo controlled the fearsome skeleton army, they all understood that once the Skeleton King died, the skeleton army would no longer be under Han Mo's control. This was their trump card.

"Damn it!"

Han Mo's voice boomed like thunder. He punched the cold stone wall, leaving a deep crack, his face full of anger.

He was very curious about who those two people were, that they had the ability to kill the Skeleton King, whose strength was comparable to that of a Spirit Venerable.

A young boy spoke, trembling, as if confirming an unacceptable fact, "Your Highness, if I remember correctly, the Skeleton King's strength was comparable to that of a Spirit Venerable... It... actually..."

The words were left unsaid, but everyone understood the implication.

Upon hearing this, everyone's face turned extremely gloomy. The Spirit Venerable level was an existence they could only look up to. Now, the Skeleton King, whose strength was comparable to that of a Spirit Venerable, had been eliminated, which was enough to show how terrifying the strength of those two was.

"We must eliminate them at all costs!" Han Mo's voice was filled with determination and ruthlessness.

Upon hearing this, the other four all tensed up, their eyes flashing with unease and fear. One of them swallowed hard, his voice barely audible.

"Your Highness, with our current strength, I'm afraid we're no match for them head-on..."

Upon hearing this, Han Mo's lips curled into a cold smile, and a chilling glint flashed in his eyes. "If we can't do it head-on, then we'll do it covertly. In short, these two must not leave here alive."

Although Lingyue Kingdom is the most powerful of the five kingdoms, it has not produced any outstanding geniuses in the past hundred years.

The Hopeless Kingdom is different. In the past century, the Hopeless Kingdom has been quietly accumulating strength and secretly cultivating batches of extraordinary geniuses. Once the time is ripe, the throne of the five kingdoms and even the entire continent will submit to the Hopeless Kingdom.

Lu Lingxi and Lu Xinglan are already among the most talented individuals. Their growth poses a significant threat to the future hegemony of the Hopeless Kingdom. Therefore, these two must be eliminated as soon as possible.

Han Mo's sharp eyes were fixed on the location of Lu Lingxi and Lu Xinglan, filled with many questions—who was so capable as to kill the powerful Skeleton King? Once confirmed, he would make him the first person to die here.

As Han Mo secretly pondered what was inside his spatial storage device, a wicked smile crept onto his lips.

Just then, the space underwent another subtle change, and Lu Lingxiyao's figure instantly appeared before everyone's eyes.

As she appeared, countless white bones fell like raindrops, the crackling sound was incessant, and a chilling cold filled the air.

The scattered bones, skulls, hand bones, and leg bones intertwined, inspired fear.

Recalling the fierce battle with the skeleton army in the space, Lu Lingxi Yao, relying on her own strength, faced the endless waves of skeletons without ever backing down.

She refused the help of the Night Demons, persisting in honing herself in adversity. Ultimately, with her keen perception, she accurately located and eliminated the Skeleton King, thus shattering the morale of the Skeleton Army.

Meanwhile, outside, Lu Xinglan used Hellfire to completely annihilate the skeleton army that had lost its Skeleton King.

The moment Lu Lingxi appeared, Lu Xinglan quickly stepped forward, his eyes filled with concern and his tone tinged with worry, "Yaoyao, are you alright?"

Lu Lingxi shook her head gently and said in a low voice, "I'm fine, but those skeletons don't seem to have appeared by chance. Someone is manipulating them from behind. I found a strange rune on the skeleton king's bones."

After she finished speaking, her gaze met Lu Xinglan's. The two understood each other without saying a word, both reading a hint of knowing and wariness in each other's eyes.

At this moment, Han Mo approached with his companions, their arrival breaking the brief silence.

Although Han Mo's voice was filled with gratitude, it seemed to be wrapped in a layer of frost, making it sound unusually cold. "Thank you for your help."

Lu Lingxi didn't care about this, and her response was equally cold, even indifferent: "No need for thanks, we're just trying to protect ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Han Mo's expression stiffened, and his gaze involuntarily drifted to the piles of white bones on the ground. Lu Xinglan couldn't help but chuckle, a hint of amusement and insight in her voice.

"Are they looking for something? Could they have lost something in the chaos just now?"

Upon hearing this, Han Mo and his companions involuntarily stiffened, their smiles becoming somewhat forced. "Ah, hehe, no, it's just that these skeletons are too horrifying to look at directly."

Lu Lingxi Yao merely glanced at them indifferently, without saying anything more. She gently grasped Lu Xinglan's wrist, preparing to continue forward.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Han Mo's eyes flashed with anxiety. He quickly said, "Since we've met here, why don't we travel together and look after each other?"

Lu Lingxi tilted her head slightly, a hint of consideration in her eyes, and finally nodded, "If that's the case, then let's go together."

Thus, Han Mo and his team, along with Lu Lingxi Yao and Lu Xinglan, two groups of contestants from different countries, came together by fate, despite their own hidden agendas.
