The Skeleton King clearly hadn't expected that Qi Ling would actually be able to break its arm, and not just separate it at the joint like before, but completely destroy it irreparably.
With its only means of attack, the Skeleton King's combat power was undoubtedly greatly reduced after losing its right hand. Seeing this, Bei Na couldn't help but cheer, "Yay! Qi Ling, you're so amazing! Quickly finish it off, I don't want to deal with these things anymore!"
Although Cao Yang and Dongfang Ye didn't speak, they both breathed a sigh of relief. The immense pressure from the Skeleton King had filled them with fear; if Qi Ling really couldn't withstand it, they would have absolutely no chance of winning.
Qi Ling was about to press his advantage and turn the Skeleton King into a pile of bone fragments to activate the Demonic Weapon when he suddenly frowned. He sensed that the Skeleton King's aura had not weakened after losing an arm; on the contrary, it seemed to be rising.
Just then, the Skeleton King suddenly roared, and a surge of black demonic energy erupted from the ground, sweeping out in all directions.
Qi Ling and the others were startled when they saw this eerie demonic aura. Just as they were about to defend themselves, they discovered that the demonic aura seemed to have no effect on them. On the contrary, the skeletons that had been fighting with them instantly turned into scattered bones as soon as they came into contact with the demonic aura.
Seeing the strange situation unfolding before her, Bei Na exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? What's going on? Has this giant skeleton gone mad? Otherwise, why would it attack its own minions?"
Qi Ling looked at the Skeleton King before her, cold sweat dripping down her forehead. She said, "No, it's not crazy. It's doing this precisely to deal with us! And right now, it's just absorbing the power scattered across the surrounding skeletons!"
That's not all. After absorbing the power of the surrounding skeletons, the Skeleton King's missing right hand began to gradually gather countless bone fragments and piece them together to form the shape of an arm!
This new arm, composed of countless bone fragments, is not only several times larger than before, but also several times more terrifying. A single finger is almost half the height of a person, which is truly awe-inspiring.
"What the hell? What kind of international joke is this? Do you think I'm fighting a boss here? There's even a second form?" Qi Ling stared in disbelief at the Skeleton King's transformation.
But the Skeleton King clearly wouldn't give Qi Ling time to react. After completing its absorption process, it immediately launched a fierce attack on Qi Ling. With a deafening roar, the giant hand slammed down on Qi Ling, carrying a world-destroying force, seemingly intending to kill Qi Ling with a single blow.
With a deafening roar, the Skeleton King's giant hand slammed down, kicking up a cloud of dust. Bei Na cried out in alarm, " Qi Ling! Qi Ling, are you alright?"
Qi Ling will naturally be fine, as can be seen from the Skeleton King! Its hand was gradually lifted by a force, and a tall figure stood up in front of it, suppressing its size.
After unleashing the Blood Devil Emperor's Seventh Soul Skill, " Blood Devil Avatar," Qi Ling, whose body had grown enormous, possessed the power to contend with the Skeleton King!
He grabbed the Skeleton King's cobbled-together bone hand with one hand, and with the other, he swung his fist, punching the Skeleton King 'Skeleton King body and sending him flying.
This was not the end of it, of course. Qi Ling then launched another fierce attack. The ferocious force made it impossible for the Skeleton King to put down. In the end, the pieced-together bone hand could not withstand such power and broke off again, scattering all over the ground.
Having suffered a great loss, the Skeleton King landed and let out another shout. The giant skeletal sword on the ground actually flew into the air and landed directly in its hand. Then, it raised the sword with one hand and thrust it at Qi Ling.
After becoming so enormous, Qi Ling naturally fell behind in agility. However, coincidentally, this time when facing the Skeleton King's attack, Qi Ling still did not intend to dodge. Instead, she stretched out her hand towards the oncoming giant sword.
The enormous demonic hand was pierced directly by the giant skull sword, but before the Skeleton King could even feel happy, Qi Ling's hand had already transformed into a ball of blood-red energy, firmly gripping the giant sword!
Moreover, a peculiar energy surged from Qi Ling's other hand, attacking the Skeleton King.
Even when it lost its arm, the Skeleton King showed no fear. But when faced with Qi Ling's power, it panicked for the first time. Without hesitation, it released its greatsword and formed a bone shield in front of its body!
Under the cover of this bone shield, the Skeleton King successfully escaped from Qi Ling's grasp. Qi Ling sighed helplessly and said, "Sigh, as expected of a five-star monster, it's really not easy to deal with. In every aspect, even its reaction speed is top-notch!"
Cao Yang, standing to the side, saw that the bone shields attacked by Qi Ling had actually burst into flames and quickly disappeared. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, " Qi Ling, what the hell is this?! How can it burn even these bones to ashes?"
Cao Yang had already sensed the formidable strength of these skeleton soldiers during their battle. Ordinary flames couldn't harm them at all, which was why he asked the question. However, Qi Ling's black flames could actually burn these bones, which was truly astonishing.
Qi Ling said nonchalantly, " The World-Destroying Black Flame is very effective against these kinds of undead. Be careful, once it gets on you, there's no way to extinguish it, and you'll have to have your limbs amputated."
Upon hearing Qi Ling's words, Cao Yang immediately hid far away, but then he understood where Qi Ling got her confidence in dealing with the Skeleton King —it was because she possessed such a weapon!
Although Qi Ling possesses the World-Destroying Black Flame, it is not a move that can be used casually. First, there is a limit to the number of times it can be used. With Qi Ling's current control over the World-Destroying Black Flame, he can already control it to a certain extent, but at most, he can only use it three times.
Secondly, this move is indiscriminate and can cause serious harm to one's own people if not handled carefully. Just like what happened when a flame landed on someone else, that would have been disastrous.
Therefore, Qi Ling can only use the World-Destroying Black Flame when everything is absolutely foolproof. Judging from the Skeleton King's reaction just now, Qi Ling's World-Destroying Black Flame does indeed have a significant effect on it.
Having lost another arm, the Skeleton King found itself in an even more precarious situation. Faced with Qi Ling, who possessed World-Destroying Black Flame, it dared not launch another reckless attack.
"Hehe, if you won't come, I will! I'll dismantle your skeleton and then I'll take my own weapons!" Qi Ling laughed, swinging her huge fist at the Skeleton King.
Because he feared Qi Ling's World-Destroying Black Flame, the Skeleton King's attacks no longer possessed the same overwhelming power, which resulted in him being forced to passively endure the attacks and retreating steadily under Qi Ling's assault.
What made the Skeleton King even more desperate was that Jian Lan was standing on Qi Ling's shoulder. Her light body seemed to be in sync with Qi Ling's mind, not only perfectly making up for the weaknesses in Qi Ling's movements, but also putting great pressure on the Skeleton King.
