A faint damage number floated above the Bone Eagle King's head. The edges of its wings were harder than steel!

But Lin Feng wasn't looking for damage; what he wanted was distance.

Using the recoil from the strike, his body made a bizarre mid-air twist, landing on a protruding stone peak forty meters to the left!

The Bone Eagle King immediately pursued!

But as soon as it moved, it discovered that the human hadn't continued to flee. He was simply standing on the summit of the stone peak, turned around, holding his spear with both hands, the tip pointing diagonally toward the ground.

He was waiting for it.

The Bone Eagle King's blood-red soul fire flickered slightly. What exactly was this human trying to do?

But it did not hesitate; a king does not need to ponder the intentions of its prey.

It dived again!

And this time—

Lin Feng's right hand swung violently! Blazing Spear Light! The first one! A crimson beam of light shot straight for the Bone Eagle King's face!

The Bone Eagle King tilted its head to avoid it!

The second! The third!

The Bone Eagle King's body twisted as two spear lights grazed past its wings!

The fourth! The fifth! The sixth!

The Bone Eagle King was forced to slow down, its wings flapping repeatedly as it dodged frantically in the air!

The seventh! The eighth!

A spear light grazed the edge of its left wing, -80!

The ninth! The tenth!

The Bone Eagle King was finally enraged. It stopped dodging and flapped its wings violently, actually charging straight through the spear lights!

The eleventh!

Puchi!

The spear light pierced its right wing! -80!

But its speed increased instead of decreasing!

Thirty meters!

Twenty meters!

Ten meters—

Finally, a slight curve formed at the corner of Lin Feng's mouth.

This was the moment he was waiting for!

His final Blazing Spear Light wasn't aimed at the Bone Eagle King. Instead, it was shot behind it—at that massive rock peak that had been sliced by countless wind blades and was already teetering!

Boom—!!!

The spear light pierced the weakest part of the rock peak's base! The rock peak, already covered in cracks, finally couldn't hold on and collapsed with a roar!

Countless tons of giant boulders fell toward the Bone Eagle King below like the sky was falling and the earth was rending!

For the first time, panic flashed within the Bone Eagle King's blood-red soul fire!

It flapped its wings frantically, trying to ascend!

But it was too late!

The first giant boulder smashed onto its back!

-40!

The second! The third!

-40! -40!

It was smashed downward!

The fourth! The fifth!

-40! -30!

Rumble—!!!

The entire rock peak completely collapsed, and countless boulders buried the Bone Eagle King along with the entire area it was in!

Smoke and dust rose into the sky, blotting out the sun!

Lin Feng stood at the edge of another relatively low stone peak, gasping for breath.

HP: 720. Blazing Spear Light remaining: 10 shots.

He stared fixedly at the area buried by boulders, veins bulging on the back of his hand, his grip on the Wildfire Spear creaking.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated, and from the pile of rubble, a purple-black figure slowly crawled up.

The Bone Eagle King.

It was still alive.

But its magnificent purple-black wings were now tattered and ruined, its left wing was clearly twisted and deformed, and over a dozen deep wounds on its body were constantly oozing dark red blood.

Its health bar had less than a third remaining.

It looked up, its blood-red soul fire staring fixedly at Lin Feng. That gaze was no longer just anger.

It was an irreconcilable killing intent.

Lin Feng slowly stood up straight. He raised the Wildfire Spear, its tip pointing toward the Bone Eagle King from afar.

"Come."

One man and one eagle charged at each other once more atop the collapsed ruins!

Clang—!!!

Claws and spear tip collided again!

Heavily injured, the Bone Eagle King's speed was greatly reduced and its strength was far from what it once was, but its ferocity burned even brighter!

It bit, pounced, and clawed frantically, every attack a suicidal maneuver!

Lin Feng didn't dodge or evade! He traded injury for injury!

Puchi!

Claws slashed across his left ribs! -140!

The Wildfire Spear pierced its right chest! -150!

Bang!

The edge of a wing swept across, smashing into his shoulder! -130!

The spear shaft whipped back, smashing into its skull! -140!

Blood splattered.

Life points plummeted.

In Lin Feng's eyes, there was only that pair of blood-red soul fires.

Thrust! Retract! Parry! Thrust again!

His movements had become pure instinct.

HP: 720 → 610 → 480 → 270!

The Bone Eagle King's health bar was also sliding down frantically!

Finally—

At the moment when both sides' health bars had only a sliver left—Lin Feng used the last of his strength to violently thrust the Wildfire Spear into the ground!

【Skill: Beacon Fire Prairies!】

Boom—!!!

A circular fire shockwave with a ten-meter radius erupted!

The Bone Eagle King was engulfed by flames! -30! At the same time, a faint red 【Prairie Fire Mark】 was branded onto its broken body!

Lin Feng pulled out the spear! Gripping it with both hands, he unified his waist and legs! All the remaining strength in his body was poured into this single thrust!

The target—deep inside the Bone Eagle King's wide-open beak as it tried to let out another Sky-Rending Roar!

Puchi—!!!

The spear tip pierced through its throat! It emerged from the back of its neck!

-180! (Critical Hit! Prairie Fire Mark damage increased by 10%!)

The Bone Eagle King's movements completely froze. Those blood-red soul fires trembled violently for a moment, then, like shattered gems, exploded into countless blood-red specks of light, dissipating into the dark red sky.

Its massive body crashed to the ground, sending dust flying.

【Killed Lv17 Rare Boss · Bone Eagle King, EXP +2000!】

【Level Up: 13 → 14】

【Obtained Free Attribute Point: 1】

Lin Feng leaned on the Wildfire Spear, kneeling on one knee.

There wasn't a single patch of intact skin left on his body. Blood continuously seeped from over a dozen wounds, soaking his shattered leather armor.

HP: 1240 → 270.

Only 270 points left.

He gasped for breath, feeling the power within him on the verge of exhaustion, as well as the 【Desperate Beacon】 that had never been triggered.

He hadn't used that final trump card; he had pulled through.

The smoke and dust slowly cleared.

Lin Feng leaned on his Wildfire Spear, kneeling on one knee, gasping for breath.

HP: 270/1240.

He glanced down at his hands.

Those hands were trembling slightly—a signal that his strength was nearly depleted, and a lingering effect of a life-and-death struggle.

But he was alive, and the Bone Eagle King was dead.

Lin Feng slowly raised his head, looking toward the massive creature before him that was slowly dissipating.

The Bone Eagle King's body had begun to decompose; its purple-black feathers turned into specks of light and scattered, and its steel-hard bones were shattering inch by inch.

But within that pile of remains that was about to vanish completely, a few items lay quietly.

They were not decomposed, nor reclaimed by {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} the rules.

Those were the spoils belonging to the victor.

Leaning on the Wildfire Spear, Lin Feng stood up with difficulty.

He walked toward the pile of remains step by step, each step pulling at the dozen or so wounds on his body, the pain making the corners of his mouth twitch slightly.

But he didn't stop. He walked to the side of the remains and looked down.

Then, his pupils contracted slightly.

Three items—two purple and one blue—lay quietly within the grayish-black ashes.
