The Centurion's ribs snapped, and its ghostly green soul fire flickered violently, but it didn't even have time to counterattack.

Lin Feng's second spear strike had already arrived!

He didn't even bother with the motion of retracting the spear to thrust again; as soon as the first strike pierced in, he gave his wrist a fierce twist.

Using the power from his waist and abdomen, the spear tip forced its way through the ribs with a churning motion, then swept upward along the momentum, aiming straight for the Centurion's jaw!

Puchi!

-172!

The spear tip entered through the jaw and pierced the cranial cavity!

The Centurion's soul fire pulsed violently twice before being completely extinguished, and it collapsed with a crash!

Lin Feng didn't even give it a second glance as he pulled out his spear and continued his charge!

Ahead, more and more Skeleton Soldiers noticed the rushing figure and swarmed in from all directions!

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes; his goal wasn't just to cut through the perimeter, but to slaughter his way into the very center!

The Wildfire Spear turned into a dark red storm in his hands. With every thrust, a skeleton was bound to fall! With every sweep, several skeletons were inevitably knocked aside!

But his speed didn't slow down in the slightest!

The passive effect of the 【windchaser boots】, Windchaser, remained at five full stacks. His figure pulled out afterimages within the skeleton army as he broke through one defensive line after another!

Finally—there was no longer a path forward around him.

Because every direction was filled with skeletons; he had fought his way into the very heart of the army.

From all sides, over a hundred Skeleton Soldiers raised their weapons at once—rusted swords, long spears, and bone blades hacked at him from every angle!

A cold light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes as he gripped his spear with both hands.

He slammed it into the ground!

【Skill: Beacon Fire Prairies!】

BOOM—!!!

With the spear shaft as the center, a circular fire shockwave with a ten-meter radius erupted!

The blazing flames swept outward in concentric circles, engulfing all hundred-plus Skeleton Soldiers surrounding him!

-40! -40! -40! -40!...

The damage wasn't high.

But that wasn't important.

What mattered was—

Over a hundred Skeleton Soldiers were hit by the flames simultaneously, and the faint red 【Prairie Fire Mark】 appeared on their bodies!

Even more importantly!

They were ignited!

Those decayed clothes, tattered banners, and even the residual grease within the gaps of their bones caught fire instantly!

Within the grayish-white skeleton army, a raging sea of fire twenty meters in diameter suddenly exploded!

Over a hundred Skeleton Soldiers struggled frantically in the flames, and their formation collapsed instantly!

"Roar—!!!"

Some skeletons let out silent howls, wildly waving their burning weapons and crashing into their companions!

The originally orderly five phalanxes were thrown into complete chaos in that instant!

Lin Feng pulled up his spear.

He didn't stop.

He didn't even spare a glance at the burning skeletons.

His figure had already charged deeper in!

The spear struck like a dragon!

The dark red spear shaft advanced frantically through the sea of fire. With every thrust, a burning Skeleton Soldier's head was bound to shatter, its soul fire extinguished!

Forty-three!

Sixty-seven!

Seventy-two!

A thick layer of shattered bones had already accumulated around Lin Feng. But his speed didn't slow down in the slightest!

His figure moved like a ghost, dodging and weaving frantically within the chaotic skeleton army!

Three skeletons on the left thrust their spears at once!

Lin Feng sidestepped! The three spears grazed past his leather armor! The Wildfire Spear swept across! Three skeleton heads flew up simultaneously!

Five skeletons on the right raised their swords to hack at him!

Lin Feng advanced instead of retreating! His spear tip tapped rapidly! Five bursts of spear light were like meteors chasing the moon, accurately piercing the eye sockets of the five skeletons!

-180! -188! -178! -181! -178!

Two elites of the Centurion rank behind him finally caught up!

Hefty war-halberds swept toward him with the sound of breaking wind! Lin Feng suddenly leaped up!

The halberds swept beneath his feet, cutting three Skeleton Soldiers who couldn't dodge in time in half at the waist!

While in mid-air, Lin Feng shifted his body and pointed his spear downward—【Blazing Spear Light】!

Two ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) crimson beams of light erupted from the spear tip, aimed straight at the two Centurions below!

Puchi! Puchi!

-120! -121!

The spear light pierced into the two Centurions' shoulder blades. Their bodies shook violently, and their ghostly green soul fires flickered intensely!

But before they could react, Lin Feng had already landed back on the ground, and his spear shaft swept out!

Clang! Clang!

The two war-halberds were knocked aside!

Lin Feng stepped forward, his spear tip aiming straight for the first Centurion's throat!

The Centurion instinctively raised its halberd to block.

But Lin Feng's spear tip suddenly changed direction mid-way! It shifted from a straight thrust to a diagonal slash! The spear tip cut across the Centurion's exposed right ribs!

-182! (Prairie Fire Mark bonus damage!)

Three of the Centurion's ribs broke, and its soul fire trembled wildly!

Second strike! Straight for the eye socket!

Puchi!

-181! (Lethal Strike!)

The first Centurion, killed!

The other Centurion roared and pounced, its war-halberd sweeping toward Lin Feng's waist!

Lin Feng tilted his body slightly, and the halberd blade whistled past the edge of his clothes.

Borrowing the momentum of his charge, he kicked off the ground with his right foot and twisted his body, driving the Wildfire Spear from below into the Centurion's wide-open jaw, piercing through the back of its head!

-181! (Lethal Strike!!!)

The second Centurion, killed!

Less than 30 seconds had passed.

Two Level 11 elites had been wiped out.

The deaths of those Centurions finally caused the Commander of Five Hundred's gaze to lock completely onto Lin Feng.

This human, alone, had charged into the center of a five-hundred-strong army, burned over a hundred skeletons, and killed three Centurions.

The deep blue flames in its eye sockets flickered slightly—that was anger.

The Commander of Five Hundred gently nudged the skeleton warhorse beneath it, and the mount, burning with deep blue soul fire, paced forward a few steps.

It didn't charge; it simply stared at Lin Feng, watching him weave left and right through the skeleton army, every spear strike claiming a life.

Lin Feng felt that gaze. He looked up and met the Commander of Five Hundred's eyes. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Then, he smiled. That smile, amidst the sea of fire and blood, appeared exceptionally piercing.

"Come at me," he said in a low voice.

The Wildfire Spear pointed toward the Commander of Five Hundred from a distance.

Provocation! Naked provocation!

The deep blue flames in the Commander of Five Hundred's eye sockets suddenly contracted. In the next second, it moved; it focused all its attention and was just about to spur its warhorse to charge at Lin Feng!

Shadow Snake.

She had been waiting, waiting for Lin Feng to attract all of the Commander of Five Hundred's attention.

Now was the time.

She was like a ghost born from the void; the deep blue fang carved a lethal arc through the night.

【Shadow Step · Active】!

She vanished from her spot instantly, and in the next second, she appeared in the shadow behind the Commander of Five Hundred.

Then—【Stealth Strike】! +30% bonus damage!

"Backstab" effect! Ignores 30% of the target's defense!

Puchi—!!!

The dagger accurately pierced the junction of the Commander of Five Hundred's neck and spine! That was the gap where the bone was most fragile and the defense was weakest!

-170! (Backstab! Stealth Strike bonus damage +30%! Position damage bonus +30%!)

The Commander of Five Hundred suddenly threw its head back, letting out a silent roar that seemed capable of tearing the soul!

It wildly swung its horse-slaying spear, trying to force back the attacker behind it!

In that critical moment, to avoid that lethal sweeping spear blade, Shadow Snake let go of the deep blue fang, leaving it embedded in the Commander of Five Hundred's neck.
