Jiang Zhaoyue tucked the boots into her embrace, lifted her head, and looked toward the battlefield above the South Gate.

In the distance, Lin Feng and Archmond were still locked in a fierce struggle; the spear shadows and the lance collided in the air, sparks flying everywhere as flames exploded.

Both of their health bars were over half depleted, but neither showed signs of falling.

She turned to look at Jiang Yelan, and Jiang Yelan was looking at her as well.

The two nodded simultaneously, kicked off the ground, and their bodies soared into the air, flying toward the entangled afterimages.

Above the South Gate, Lin Feng was once again forced back by Archmond's lance.

He stabilized his stance; his health bar remained at 55%, and the flames on the Wildfire Spear had dimmed significantly.

Archmond's black plate armor was covered in spear marks, and the black bone armor of Dark Flame was cracked in many places.

The two stood in a standoff across the air, preparing to charge again, when Lin Feng caught a glimpse of two figures flying rapidly from below.

One on the left, one on the right, silver-white and black—Jiang Zhaoyue and Jiang Yelan.

"Lord Lin, we are here to help!" Jiang Zhaoyue's voice came from the left, and the silver moon sky spear traced an arc in the air.

Jiang Yelan silently flanked from the right, holding the shadow moon blade in a reverse grip, blade tip pointing down.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and glanced at Jiang Zhaoyue: "Mm, you arrived just in time."

Without unnecessary pleasantries, the three moved simultaneously.

Lin Feng charged head-on, the Wildfire Spear thrusting straight at Archmond's chest.

Archmond raised his lance to block, and the two long spears collided in the air, sparks scattering.

In the split second of the stalemate, Jiang Zhaoyue struck from the left, the silver moon sky spear thrusting toward Archmond's flank—【Silver Light Cross Slash】.

First strike -501, second strike -600; a web of cracks exploded on Archmond's plate armor, and his health bar plummeted.

He roared, sweeping his lance to force Lin Feng back, then swept it back toward Jiang Zhaoyue. Jiang Zhaoyue raised her spear to block and was knocked back several meters.

Jiang Yelan emerged from the shadows on the right—【Shadow Step】.

She appeared behind Archmond, the shadow moon blade stabbing into the gap in the plate armor at the back of his neck; Backstab bonus +30% damage, ignoring 30% defense, -450.

Poison Blade Tempering took effect, and dark purple toxin visual effects appeared on Archmond.

Archmond, feeling the pain, stabbed his lance backward. Jiang ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Yelan had already used Shadow Flash to retreat, disappearing into the air.

The three coordinated perfectly; Lin Feng bore the brunt of the frontal assault, aiming for vital points with every thrust, forcing Archmond to defend.

Jiang Zhaoyue maneuvered from the flank, the silver moon sky spear targeting the gaps in the plate armor, every strike precise and ruthless.

Jiang Yelan flickered in and out of the shadows, taking a chunk of Archmond's health bar every time she appeared.

On the ground, the emerald light of Su Yurou's bone healing staff fell on the three of them incessantly, stabilizing their health lines.

Archmond was enraged. His mount, Dark Flame, unleashed 【Shadow Breath】, and a fan-shaped shadow flame surged toward the three.

Lin Feng dodged sideways, Jiang Yelan used Shadow Flash to evade, but Jiang Zhaoyue was a beat slow and was swallowed by the flames: -590, Shadow Burn applied (losing 50 health per second, healing effects reduced by 50%).

Su Yurou's Purification landed immediately, dispelling the burn.

Just as Jiang Zhaoyue stabilized her stance, Dark Flame lifted its front hooves and stomped down violently—【Dark Flame Stomp】.

A circle of dark red shockwaves exploded. Jiang Zhaoyue was caught: -600, 1.5-second stun applied, her body frozen in mid-air.

The dark red light in Archmond's eyes surged, and his lance thrust straight at Jiang Zhaoyue's chest!

Lin Feng activated 【Meteor Flash】, his figure instantly appearing in front of Jiang Zhaoyue, the Wildfire Spear held horizontally in front of him, taking the blow head-on.

"Clang!!!"

The lance crashed into the shaft of the Wildfire Spear, sparks exploded, and Lin Feng was knocked back two meters.

His health bar dropped another chunk, falling to 48%, but Jiang Zhaoyue was unharmed.

Jiang Zhaoyue recovered from the stun, her gaze lingering on Lin Feng's face for a moment without a word, then she thrust the silver moon sky spear repeatedly, forcing Archmond back.

The three continued to grapple; Lin Feng held the front, Jiang Zhaoyue harassed the flank, and Jiang Yelan snuck attacks from the back.

Although Archmond's lance was fierce, facing pincer attacks from three directions, his recovery speed clearly couldn't keep up.

The health bar fell from 55% to 45%, from 45% to 35%, from 35% to 25%.

Six minutes later, it finally dropped below 20%.

Archmond suddenly raised his lance high and let out a deafening roar to the sky.

Black ripples exploded from his body, expanding in all directions with him as the center, covering a radius of 500 meters.

On the ground, thirty undead units (Undead Warrior, Undead Archer) were simultaneously entangled by black light filaments and then sucked into Archmond's body.

Every time he absorbed one, his health bar jumped, recovering 1% of his health. After all thirty were absorbed, his health rose back to 50%.

His body began to expand, thick shadow energy surged from the gaps in his black plate armor, and the dark red flames under his bull-horned helmet surged—【Scourge Form】.

Archmond's entire body was covered in flowing shadow energy, and he exhaled black mist with every breath.

All attacks now carried Shadow Burn: 50 health lost per second, lasting 6 seconds, healing effects reduced by 50%.

He leaped off his horse's back, and Dark Flame dissipated into black smoke.

He charged on foot, his speed faster than when he was mounted, his lance pointing forward—【Undead Funeral Procession】!

A line of Undead Knight phantoms emerged from the air, charging in a straight line.

The phantom knights ignored collision volume and dealt 200% attack damage to all enemies in their path.

Lin Feng, Jiang Zhaoyue, and Jiang Yelan dodged to the sides simultaneously.

Lin Feng was grazed by a phantom: -900, Shadow Burn applied.

Su Yurou's Purification followed closely, clearing the burn.

Lin Feng no longer took hits head-on; he dodged when he could, and only blocked when he couldn't.

As soon as Meteor Flash cooled down, he teleported behind Archmond, using the Wind-Treading Combo damage buff after displacement to land a spear strike.

Jiang Yelan harassed from the flank using Phantom Flying Blade.

In the six-minute bloody battle, all three of their health bars were slowly dropping.

Lin Feng's health bar had fallen from 55% to 18%. Su Yurou's mana was mostly depleted, and sweat beads on her forehead streamed down her cheeks.

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and looked down at his health bar, which was at 18%.

With a thought: 【Peace Sanctuary】! A warm white light shone from his headband, instantly enveloping his entire body.

Negative statuses were cleared, health loss per second stopped, damage reduction effects disappeared, and 20% of his maximum health was restored.

The health bar jumped from 18% to 38%.

"Kill!" Lin Feng's voice exploded in the air.

The three rose up simultaneously. Lin Feng charged head-on, the Wildfire Spear thrusting toward Archmond's chest.

Archmond raised his lance to block. With a "Clang," the spear tip was deflected by the lance shaft, leaving only a white mark on his chest armor.

But at the moment he blocked, Jiang Zhaoyue lunged from the left, Silver Light Cross Slash striking twice—the first piercing the left flank, the second piercing the right shoulder.

At the same time, Jiang Yelan emerged from behind, the shadow moon blade precisely stabbing into the back of Archmond's neck.

The attacks from the three arrived almost simultaneously. Lin Feng was blocked, but the fatal strikes from Jiang Zhaoyue and Jiang Yelan pierced straight through his defense.

Archmond's health bar instantly hit zero.

His body stiffened, and the dark red flames under his bull-horned helmet extinguished abruptly.

The corpse fell from the air, crashing onto a pile of skeletal remains outside the South Gate of Thang Long City, splashing up a cloud of dust.

The dark black plate armor scattered all over the ground, and the Death Lance · Dark Annihilation was stuck in the mud nearby, the shaft still trembling slightly.

(Friends, don't stockpile the book recently, I feel like it's going to cool down, haha. I'll strive to write to 1 million words to see if there's any improvement. This month will still have 3 updates; if there's nothing later, I'll switch to 2 updates first and conceive a new book. This book has an outline for 2 million words of plot and will have an ending.)
