Otherworldly Skeleton Evolution

“Skeleton Big Brother, it seems like the boss has launched an all-out attack. Let’s hurry over and take a look.”

Jiang Cheng nodded. “It appears the boss has started to deviate from the routine.”

Inside Purple Fiend Castle, Yin Xue watched as thousands of Purple Fiend soldiers poured in from all directions and slightly shrank his head.

“Marshal, your mouth must have been blessed, right?” Blood Raven tightly gripped the Blood Raven Bow in his hand, his skeletal face full of helplessness.

Just now, the progress of attacking the city wasn’t a major problem.

But this Blood Fiend Grand Marshal suddenly opened his mouth and said,

“Back then, Purple Fiend and Green Fiend abandoned me. Now that I’ve become Master’s subordinate, those two wastes, without my protection, might have already colluded with each other and merged the two fortresses into one?”

“With our momentum, if he still hasn’t appeared, could it be that he’s preparing to lure us into a trap?”

As soon as these words left Blood Fiend Grand Commander’s mouth, their surroundings were immediately encircled by eighteen rings of Purple Fiend Blade Soldiers and Green Fiend Spear Soldiers.

That formidable might indeed gave them a fright.

Even with the Demon Dragon guarding in front, they still didn’t have much sense of security.

This dragon was all bark and no bite, not of much use.

“What do you mean my mouth has been blessed? This is my unparalleled wits, predicting their actions in advance.”

Yin Xue revealed a hint of pride on his face.

But the next moment, he felt a bit displeased.

“Marshal, was I deceived by you when I was alive? I don’t know why, but ever since I saw you, I always have the urge to give you a good beating.”

Black Fiend took a deep look at Yin Xue.

Yin Xue felt a bit awkward. After all, if we’re really going to talk about it, Black Fiend…

Fortunately, Black Fiend had already lost his memories. Otherwise, having a subordinate who held a grudge every day would be a great hindrance to his future rule.

Master had promised that even if he caught the Skeleton King, he would still let Yin Xue be his subordinate.

Such temptation, he couldn’t refuse.

“Blood Fiend, what do you mean? Looking down on us?”

Green Fiend’s bone color changed. Seeing them surrounded by his people yet still leisurely chatting without panic, he instantly became furious.

“Hmph, Blood Fiend, this broken dragon of yours looks quite intimidating, but unfortunately, it’s just for show.”

Purple Fiend was also a bit displeased but couldn’t say much. He could only start mocking the Demon Dragon in front of Blood Fiend.

Yin Xue sneered disdainfully. “Just a few thousand rabble, what can you do to me?”

Although his strength had decreased a lot, he had backing!

Jiang Cheng was his backbone. Compared to that Skeleton King who ignored him, his current Master treated him really well.

Even the legendary sword that should have been bestowed upon him…

Forget it, let’s not bring that up…

His current Master not only had powerful strength but was also willing to entrust him with important tasks, definitely much better than when he was with the Skeleton King.

Purple Fiend, Green Fiend, what a joke?

The bone color of the two changed simultaneously, slightly startled by Blood Fiend’s composure.

However, they weren’t too afraid because they had a new backer.

“Blood Fiend, long time no see.”

A black-gold skeleton wearing a black-gold cloak slowly walked out from behind Purple Fiend and Green Fiend.

Yin Xue’s bone color changed as he retreated a step.

“Demon Fiend Commander?!”

The flames in Yin Xue’s eye sockets condensed slightly.

He had considered that after he left, there would definitely be a new Grand Commander taking over, and had even thought it might be Demon Fiend Commander.

But he didn’t expect it to really be him!

Could it be… my thoughts have also been blessed?

“Blood Fiend, hehe, you’ve been doing quite well recently. This Demon Dragon, did you specially capture it to present to this commander?”

Demon Fiend Commander swung his cloak, and two soldiers immediately carried over a black-gold throne for him.

Demon Fiend Commander sat on the black-gold throne, quietly looking at Blood Fiend.

“You think too much.” Although Yin Xue was very wary of Demon Fiend Commander, he still had more confidence in Jiang Cheng.

Moreover, he had long lost hope in the Skeleton King.

So he was very contemptuous of Demon Fiend Commander’s words.

“What should we do, Marshal?”

Blood Raven and Black Fiend were both a bit wary because even without considering Demon Fiend Commander, this big shot, just the surrounding troops were too much for them to handle.

“Commander, let’s have the Demon Dragon cover our retreat.”

Yin Xue shook his head and calmly said, “Don’t panic.”

With so many troops, there were at least over seven thousand, almost filling up the entire outer perimeter of Purple Fiend Castle.

Just relying on them few, they really couldn’t break through.

The Demon Dragon… was useless.

“We can’t break through.”

Blood Raven: “…”

Black Fiend: “…”

Don’t panic my ass!

We thought with how calm you were, you had some good plan, but in the end, you came up with “we can’t break through”?

We fucking know we can’t break through, alright?

“Blood Fiend, this commander has to admire your guts, daring to bring a few newly recruited subordinates to forcefully charge a castle.”

Demon Fiend Commander sat on the black-gold throne, propping his lower jaw with his black-gold skeletal arm, and glanced at Blood Raven and Beast-Taming Gold Shield Knight.

“However, these few subordinates of yours have quite good cultivation, all promising materials. How about this, this commander will give you a chance to bring your subordinates and pledge allegiance to me.”

“As for the matter of failing to capture Ginkgo Village, this commander can let bygones be bygones and allow you to start over as a deputy general under Green Fiend. How about it?”

Green Fiend also nodded.

“That’s right, Blood Fiend. The wise are good at seizing opportunities. Today, you have no chance of escape. It’s better to obediently admit defeat. My seat happens to be lacking a capable deputy general, haha.”

Yin Xue coldly glanced at Green Fiend. “Green Fiend, back then I treated you well, promoting you from a mere guard to the position of commander. Is this how you treat me now?”

After saying that, he glanced at Blood Raven and Destructive Power Archer. “Indeed, archers are my downfall!”

Blood Raven: “…”

“Hmph, stop wasting words, Blood Fiend. Your only way out today is to kneel and surrender, offering the Demon Dragon and all your subordinates to the commander. Otherwise, you will die a horrible death!”

Green Fiend’s bone color was a bit agitated because once Blood Fiend became his deputy general, his status would be much higher than Purple Fiend’s!

Blood Fiend had climbed to the position of Grand Commander through his battle achievements back then, after all.

Among all the Grand Commanders, he was the most skilled in deploying troops and had the strongest personal strength.

With Blood Fiend as a capable deputy general, what worry would there be about not being promoted?

“It seems you’re all determined to get me today?”

The blood-colored flames in Yin Xue’s eye sockets condensed as he glanced at Jiang Cheng, who was coldly watching all this from the thirty-meter-high city wall. His heart instantly settled.

“Hmph, do you think you still have a chance to escape today?”

Purple Fiend and Green Fiend wore disdainful expressions, not understanding what Blood Fiend Grand Commander was relying on to be so confident.

“This commander has seven thousand valiant soldiers. Could it be that we can’t even take down the few new lackeys you recruited? Don’t tell me you think someone will still come to save you?”

“Maybe he thinks Blood Skeleton will come to save him, ha—”

*Bang! Bang! Bang—Boom!*

As soon as the words fell, Purple Fiend and Green Fiend heard three rumbling sounds beside their ears, followed by an explosion.

Then, a large burst of blue flames erupted in front of them.

“-6963!”

“-6963!”

“-6963!”

…

“-4481!”

“-4481!”

“-4481!”

Suddenly, countless blue flames showered down on the 30-meter ground, and a large area of damage numbers popped up among the Purple Fiend army.

Jiang Cheng’s current attack multiplier could be stacked up to 5 times at most!

When the double damage of Dark Intimidation was applied, it became 10 times!

If the Dragon-Slaying Divine Ring reached the required level and used the power of Black Suspension, it would add another 2.5 times, bringing the total multiplier to 12.5 times!

Although he could only use it for show now due to the level restriction and didn’t gain any attribute bonuses.

The explosion of Hell Firewall still dealt 6963 damage!

The firewall on the ground also had the effect of ignoring 30% spell defense, so the damage of the firewall reached as high as 4481!

Moreover, in order to surround and annihilate Blood Fiend this time, Purple Fiend and the others had gathered all their troops together.

In an instant, 117 Purple Fiend soldiers crowded together within 30 meters were instantly killed.

Following that, the panicked Purple Fiend soldiers scattered to the left and right, trying to escape from these deadly flames.

Unfortunately, there were too many Purple Fiend soldiers. As they squeezed together, they immediately fell into chaos.

Quite a few unlucky Purple Fiend soldiers were pushed into the firewall and turned into flying ashes on the spot.

This scene once again shocked all the Purple Fiend soldiers.

“Run! These flames can kill!”

“Hurry and flee!”

The army became even more chaotic!

*Bang! Bang! Bang… Boom!*

Round after round of Hell Firewalls were laid out by Jiang Cheng, and the entire Purple Fiend Castle instantly exploded.

Countless Purple Fiend soldiers were frightened into running around in disorder and were instantly killed by the Hell Firewalls.

“What kind of fire is this?!”

Purple Fiend and Green Fiend’s bone colors changed wildly. They wanted to stabilize the army, but they themselves were a bit scared and had already started retreating.

As for Blood Fiend, Blood Raven, and the others, seeing this chaotic scene, they were overjoyed.

Because the flames that were fatal to the Purple Fiend army didn’t deal any damage to them at all!

Yin Xue stepped on the Hell Firewall, drew his Mercury Sword, and slashed a Purple Fiend Archer to death with one strike.

He shouted at Green Fiend, who was about to flee, “I forgot to tell you, I also have backing!”
