Jiang Zhaoyue pulled back her silver-white spear and turned to dash in Jiang Yelan's direction: "It's solved over here, surround it!"

Feng Qingyan followed behind, the Fire Crystal on her staff burning bright red, her shield shimmering slightly around her, a flush of excitement on her face: "Sister Jiang, that spear strike was so cool! After you pinned it, I smashed it with three fireballs; that guy's health bar dropped like a waterfall!"

Su Yurou followed at the very back, clutching the bone healing staff, remaining silent but with a smile on her lips.

Jiang Yelan was still entangled in a fight with the remaining Berserker.

She did not force a direct confrontation, instead using her movement techniques and aerial advantage to maneuver around the Berserker.

The Berserker's health bar was slowly dropping at a visible rate, but with the health regeneration buff from the war banner, it could barely hold on.

The Berserker was distracted by the commotion from Jiang Zhaoyue's side, its gaze shifting for a fleeting moment.

Jiang Yelan did not miss this opportunity—Shadow Flash activated, her figure disappearing from in front of the Berserker and reappearing behind it, the shadow moon blade stabbing into the back of its neck, triggering the Backstab bonus.

The Berserker roared, turning around to sweep with its axe, but Jiang Yelan flipped backward, barely avoiding the blade.

Jiang Zhaoyue arrived from the flank, her silver-white spear stabbing repeatedly.

Feng Qingyan's Flame Burst followed closely, exploding on the Berserker's chest.

Jiang Yelan emerged from the shadows once more, the shadow moon blade stabbing into its eye socket.

The Berserker's health bar plummeted, the dark red light on its body still flickering—it attempted to activate its final Berserk state, but before it could swing its next axe, Jiang Zhaoyue's spear had already pierced its throat.

Its massive body collapsed with a boom, kicking up a cloud of dust.

【Killed Lv35 Rare Boss: Berserker.】

【Level Up: 35 → 36】 A flash of white light shone on Jiang Yelan.

【Level Up: 32 → 33】 A flash of white light shone on Feng Qingyan.

Jiang Yelan sheathed her blade and stepped back, her chest rising and falling slightly.

She nodded at Jiang Zhaoyue without saying a word.

Feng Qingyan let out a long breath, her shield flickering: "Both are dead! What about Lord Lin—" She looked up at the sky.

Lin Feng pounced from the side, thrusting the Wildfire Spear three times in succession, pulling Arktus's attention away from Su Yurou.

The war axe and the spear collided in mid-air, sparks flying everywhere, and the shockwave forced both of them back several meters.

Su Yurou flipped and landed on the ground, her face deathly pale, but her gaze had already become resolute again.

She steadied herself and retreated to the edge of the temple, raising the bone healing staff high, the emerald green light constantly locked onto Lin Feng.

Lin Feng and Arktus hovered in mid-air above the collapsed temple, about twenty meters apart.

Arktus's golden plate armor gleamed with a cold light under the reflection of the eerie blue soulfire, and the two balls of blue flame beneath his bull-horned helmet stared fixedly at Lin Feng.

On the blades of his double-edged war axe, silver-white runes flowed slowly; that was the ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) radiance of the golden weapon, Dawnbreaker.

Lin Feng's Wildfire Spear pointed diagonally at the ground, the flames on the spearhead flickering on and off.

The golden starlight patterns on the zhutian war boots shimmered slightly.

Arktus moved first, diving down violently with his war axe raised high above his head, the silver-white runes on the axe blade suddenly lighting up—Soul Cleave!

A crescent-shaped blue shockwave exploded from the axe blade, sweeping toward Lin Feng in a fan shape.

Lin Feng did not block it head-on, dodging sideways as the shockwave flew past his shoulder, smashing into a collapsed stone pillar behind him and splitting it in two, sending rock fragments flying.

He pushed off with his feet, his figure turning into an afterimage, and he thrust the Wildfire Spear, the spearhead aiming straight for Arktus's throat.

Arktus raised his axe to parry, the axe face blocking the spearhead, "Clang!!!"

The sound of metal colliding exploded within the temple, and the shockwave spread in all directions.

Arktus's war axe swept horizontally, the golden blade whistling through the air as it slashed toward Lin Feng's side.

Lin Feng raised his spear to block, "Clang!!!"

Sparks flew, and both were knocked back several meters.

The Weakness Curse from Dawnbreaker was silently applied to Lin Feng, reducing defense by 30% and healing effects by 30% for 10 seconds.

He frowned slightly, and Su Yurou's Purification landed immediately, the emerald green light dispelling the curse.

But Arktus's axe blade swung down immediately after, and Lin Feng tilted his head to dodge, the blade flying past his ear while he took the opportunity to thrust the spearhead toward Arktus's ribs.

Arktus dodged to the side, and the spearhead scraped against the golden plate armor with a harsh screech, -360.

Soul Reflection triggered, and an eerie blue soulfire shockwave exploded from the plate armor, knocking Lin Feng back several meters, -108.

The Weakness Curse was applied again, but Su Yurou's Purification was still on cooldown, usable only once every 30 seconds, while Lin Feng and Arktus could exchange blows several times within a single second.

Lin Feng cursed inwardly, then changed his strategy, no longer forcing blocks, dodging whenever possible, and only using the spear shaft to block when he truly couldn't dodge, while simultaneously retreating to create distance.

Arktus pursued, slashing continuously with his war axe, each swing accompanied by a whistling sound through the air.

Lin Feng dodged left and right, evading whenever he could, only raising his spear to block when he couldn't dodge.

There were three or four collisions every second, and every block risked applying a curse.

Su Yurou's Purification could only be used once every 30 seconds, which simply couldn't keep up with the frequency of three or four times per second.

But Lin Feng's negative status resistance was as high as seventy percent, so only about one or two out of ten blocks would result in a curse.

Golden equipment is truly troublesome, Lin Feng sighed inwardly; this Arktus is not only a level 40 Rare Boss, but he also comes with two pieces of golden equipment, which is indeed incomparable to ordinary BOSSes.

Dawnbreaker's Weakness Curse, End's Wall's super-high defense and melee attack reflection, plus the War Lord's Banner's health regeneration—these three effects stacked together make a configuration simply born for solo combat.

If not for his high negative status resistance and Su Yurou's Purification as a safety net, the Weakness Curse alone would have been enough to put him in a tough spot. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He steadied his mind and began to take the initiative.

At close range, Lin Feng raised his left hand, and three Blazing Spear Lights shot out from the spearhead.

The three beams shot out simultaneously within a distance of less than five meters; Arktus couldn't dodge in time and swung his axe to block.

The three spear lights were deflected by the axe face -9, -8, -7.

Although the three beams didn't deal much damage, they successfully disrupted Arktus's rhythm, slowing his axe by half a beat; Lin Feng seized the opening, flicked the spearhead up from below, and stabbed into the armor gap on his left arm, -363..

Soul Reflection, -109.

Arktus roared,

【War Stomp: Aerial】 — All enemies within a 30-meter radius are stunned for 1.5 seconds.

Lin Feng couldn't dodge in time, and the aura swept across his body, but the Mental Barrier and the yellow turban sacrificial officials headband took effect simultaneously, and the stun status was not applied.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, the golden light of the zhutian war boots flowing beneath his feet.
