Ning Xi lightly waved her staff, completing the cast.
A rank skill, Shadow Storm!
Whoosh!
A massive magical storm swept up around the two bandits, engulfing them completely.
Under the continuous erosion of the Shadow Storm, blood red damage numbers kept popping up above the bandits' heads—
-2835!
-2835!
-2835!
All three damage ticks hit in full, instantly stripping away two thirds of the bandits' HP.
At the same time, Ning Xi continued casting.
E rank Fireball!
E rank Ice Spike!
Boom!
Boom!
Two more single target skills landed, each locking onto one bandit.
-5325!
-5114!
Before they could even get close, the two bandits collapsed to the ground, dead on the spot.
In an instant, gasps of cold air sounded from behind.
"Holy crap! Level 20 soloing level 34? And killing two at once? Is this damage for real?"
"Mistress… terrifying!"
Facts proved one thing. SSS rank talents were still absolutely broken, they needed to be nerfed.
Seeing that Ning Xi already had the strength to stand on her own, Lin Mo instructed everyone according to plan, "Next, Liuli and I will each lead a team. You can decide who you want to follow."
As soon as he finished speaking, two young girls and one guy under Qin Feng immediately stepped behind Ning Xi without hesitation, giggling, "We're following Sister Liuli."
Clearly, they were completely shocked by the strength Ning Xi had just displayed.
Subconsciously, they felt that following Liuli had way more future than following Lin Mo.
Only Ling Xiao, Xia Wanwan, Skinny Monkey, and Fat Dahai followed Lin Mo without the slightest hesitation.
Qin Feng looked left and right, wanting to follow Lin Mo, but then realized, "Wait, Brother Mo, there's no space on your side anymore."
"Brother Feng, come over here!", The three youngsters standing behind Ning Xi waved at Qin Feng, "Sister Liuli is so strong! We'll get fed sticking with her!"
Qin Feng thought to himself, 'You're still too young.'
He knew very well, but didn't want to offend Ning Xi, so he chuckled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Boss Liuli to carry us noobs."
With that, Qin Feng joined Ning Xi's team.
Once both teams were formed, Ning Xi immediately entered combat mode.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
"Wow! Sister Liuli's damage is insanely high!"
"Sister Liuli is amazing!"
While the four from ZhuFeng Studio happily soloed bandit after bandit behind Ning Xi, Lin Mo also led his team into battle.
He locked onto a full bandit squad ahead.
"Lads! Follow me and rob the rich, kill and loot the poor!"
Five bandits shouted as they charged over.
The moment they entered attack range, the Venom set's skill effect triggered automatically, sending all of them into a poisoned state.
Whoosh!
Lin Mo drew his bow and fired Ice Snow, Extreme Cold Grasp, the arrow shot out and pierced straight through the chest of the bandit in front.
-13683 (Critical)!
The terrifying critical damage of an SSS rank skill instantly killed the bandit at full HP
At the same time, the air temperature plunged to freezing.
A massive extreme cold domain bloomed across the area.
With a staggering 88% slow effect, the remaining four bandits were as if their legs were bound, unable to move an inch.
Just as they were about to throw their Flying Axes for a ranged attack, Lin Mo moved first.
Whoosh!
An arrow tore through the air.
A massive blood red arrow formation spread across the extreme cold domain.
The next second—
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Countless sharp arrows rained down like a violent storm, engulfing the four bandits.
-12363 (Critical) (Paralysis)!
-12363 (Critical) (Paralysis)!
-12363 (Critical) (Paralysis)!
With a 100% paralysis trigger rate, their normal attacks and skills were forcibly interrupted, making it impossible for them to throw their axes.
In an instant, all four level 34 full HP bandits collapsed to the ground.
The field fell into dead silence.
On the other side, the people following Ning Xi's team stared at the scene, dumbfounded.
Instant regret hit them hard.
They whispered among themselves, "Holy crap! Rulebound is even more broken than Liuli!"
"Damn! We should've followed Rulebound's team!"
Qin Feng shook his head, thinking, "See, I told you. You're still too young."
At the same time, behind Lin Mo, Xia Wanwan, Skinny Monkey, and Fat Dahai all stood there with their mouths wide open, shocked beyond words.
It wasn't Lin Mo's strength that shocked them.
After all, they had been leveling with Lin Mo for a long time and knew exactly how strong he was.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have stood with Lin Mo without hesitation earlier.
What shocked them was…
"Senior Lin Mo learned another new skill?"
"Th… what kind of skill is that?"
"It looks like… the archer's ultimate, Gale Arrow Rain?"
Ling Xiao stared at the extreme cold domain and Gale Arrow Rain ahead, which lasted three seconds before gradually fading, and said in a deep voice, "No. To be precise, it's the Soul Archer's ultimate."
"And its grade is at least S rank."
The moment he said that, the entire group sucked in a breath of cold air.
"S rank ultimate?"
As Ling Xiao finished speaking, everyone stared at Lin Mo with disbelief.
Ling Xiao had clearly done his homework.
"According to Divine Oracle's official data, the Soul Archer ultimate Gale Arrow Rain has a chance to paralyze targets with each hit. But at E rank, the paralysis chance is only 10%."
"D rank is 15%, C rank is 25%…"
Ling Xiao looked at Lin Mo and said, "Rulebound, your ultimate just now triggered paralysis at an insane rate. So I'm guessing it's not just luck. Your ultimate should be at least S rank, right?"
He had to admit, Ling Xiao was smart.
Unfortunately, he only guessed half of it.
Lin Mo's ultimate wasn't S rank. It was SSS rank, Annihilation: Storm Arrow Rain.
The extreme cold domain created by Ice Snow: Extreme Cold Grasp reduced enemy defense within the domain by 40%.
Storm Arrow Rain also had a 40% defense penetration effect.
Stacked together, that was an 80% defense reduction. Add the Poison set's 600 armor penetration, and the bandits' defense in front of Lin Mo was practically reduced to zero.
With one full skill combo, five level 34 bandits, two levels higher than Lin Mo, were instantly killed.
Even Lin Mo himself was shocked by this terrifying killing power.
'I didn't expect an SSS rank ultimate to be this dominant.'
At this moment, a flood of combat notifications rang in Lin Mo's ears—
[Ding! You have killed a level 34 bandit. EXP +9900 (90%)!]
[Ding! You have killed a level 34 bandit. EXP +9900!]
[Ding!...]
[Ding! Congratulations, while obtaining EXP rewards, you triggered Luck. Divine Artifact Nirvana Luck +0.01%!]
[Ding! Congratulations, while obtaining EXP rewards, you triggered Luck. Divine Artifact Nirvana Luck +0.01%!]
[Ding! Congratulations, while picking up 13 copper coins, you triggered Luck. Divine Artifact Nirvana Luck +0.01%!]
With the divine artifact Nirvana, whenever the holder gains any reward, they also gain Luck value.
What Lin Mo hadn't expected was that EXP and copper coins also counted as rewards.
Even if the amount was small. Still...
'Even if one small monster gives 0.02 Luck, that means I only need to kill five thousand mobs to fill 100 Luck and get one lottery draw.'
Lin Mo was instantly excited.
Compared to ordinary players who had to reach tenth place on the leveling leaderboard to get one lottery chance, Lin Mo's lottery opportunity was absurdly easy to obtain.
"Boss Rulebound, how did you level your ultimate to S rank so fast? Is there some secret? Please share!"
"My god, one ultimate killing five level 34 monsters! As expected of the number one on the Heavenly Rankings! Too insane!"
Facing everyone's praise, Lin Mo smiled and said, "Four words."
"Diligent study and hard practice!"
Of course, Lin Mo wasn't about to tell anyone about his SSS rank talent.
Let them guess the rest themselves.
That earlier fight was just a test of the ultimate's strength.
Now Lin Mo could basically confirm that no matter how many monsters there were, a single cast of the SSS rank ultimate World Annihilation, Storm Arrow Rain, was enough to wipe them all out!
Because Storm Arrow Rain, unlike Seven Star Volley with its fixed seven hits, didn't require calculating whether all targets could be killed within a limited number of attacks.
As long as the targets were within the arrow formation's coverage, every single one took three damage ticks.
And just one tick was already almost enough to instantly kill bandits.
Let alone all three ticks landing.
So next, Lin Mo was ready to begin slaughtering at Black Wind Mountain.
"Bandits! Tremble before me!"
