27: The Hog Rider shows his might! He rides away straight to the dragon!

Lin Feng's gaze, cold and resolute, fell upon the 'Life-and-Death Duel' button next to that ID.

At the same time, in a fortress far on the other side of the map, Fiery Mad Blade was impatiently directing his craftsmen to repair damaged defensive towers.

"Damn it, that Little Devil is simply a madman..."

He was cursing under his breath when suddenly, a crimson system notification, like a clap of thunder, exploded in his ears.

[Warning! Lord Heaven's Choice has challenged you to a Life-and-Death Duel! Please choose to accept or flee within thirty seconds! Fleeing will result in the loss of 75% of your current resources, and your Town Hall level will be reset to level 1!]

"Heaven's Choice? Who the hell is that..."

Fiery Mad Blade's pupils constricted sharply. He remembered! On the first day of the novice protection period, that mysterious ID with an S-rank talent who somehow squeezed into a group of SS-rank powerhouses!

It was him? How dare he?

The thirty-second countdown, like a guillotine hanging over his neck, ticked down rapidly.

Flee?

Town Hall reset to level 1? What's the difference from being directly annihilated? In this bloody world, barely surviving is more painful than death!

"Damn it!" A flash of madness and ruthlessness flickered in Fiery Mad Blade's eyes. "I have the S-rank talent [Summon Fiery Skeletons], why would I be afraid of an S-rank who popped out of nowhere? Dreaming of climbing over me, impossible!"

"Accept!"

He roared, pressing the button.

A strong sense of weightlessness came over him, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself transformed into a hero wielding a Fiery Mad Blade, standing on his own fortress. In the distance, a blurry shadow, carrying a chilling aura of殺氣, was rushing towards him.

"Playing tricks! No matter who you are, daring to provoke Fiery Mad Blade, today I'll show you the wrath of an S-rank talent!"

Fiery Mad Blade roared, pointing his long blade, and fifteen skeleton soldiers burning with hellfire surged out of the barracks!

[Fiery Skeleton Soldier]: Health 300, Attack 40. Trait: [Bone of Resurrection] (Can withstand one fatal blow and revive with 50% health after 1 second).

These were his trump card troops, on which he relied for survival!

What's more, he now possessed a 200% defensive attribute bonus granted by the system!

His skeleton soldiers now each had over 600 health, an attack power of 80, and could revive once! They were war machines.

He couldn't imagine how he could lose!

However, just as his skeleton army roared and charged forward, a scene that would forever haunt him and completely shatter his worldview unfolded!

Two massive, heavy figures, in a manner completely defying the laws of physics, 'passed' directly through his front-line skeleton soldier formation, as if these elite fiery soldiers were just intangible air!

The [Ceasefire] trait meant that the Heavy Armored Boar Elite only had eyes for buildings!

"What?!"

Fiery Mad Blade's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

Those two monsters, like small war chariots, had a clear target and charged directly towards the array of defensive towers he had built on the city walls!

One of them even erupted with terrifying crimson light!

[Berserker] triggered!

- 300!

- 300!

His proud Fiery Arrow Tower, under the attack of the Boar Elite, was like paper, instantly crushed into a shower of sawdust and rubble!

"No! Fall back! All units, fall back immediately!" Fiery Mad Blade let out a terrified roar.

He himself transformed into a hero, wielding his Fiery Mad Blade, and charged like a madman towards the two rampaging boars.

His skeleton soldiers finally reacted, abandoning the enemies in front and turning to rush towards the city walls.

But it was too late.

In just over ten seconds, his eight meticulously arranged defensive towers were all cleared out by those two unreasonable battering rams!

Fiery Mad Blade's eyes were bloodshot as he and his skeleton soldiers finally surrounded the two Boar Elite.

A fierce encirclement battle erupted on the now ruined city walls.

Finally, in front of his Town Hall, which had only 800 / 4000 durability left, the two massive Boar Elite roared unwillingly and collapsed to the ground.

"Hoo... hoo..."

Fiery Mad Blade gasped for breath, his heart still pounding.

"That was close... I finally held on... This Heaven's Choice is just a fool who only knows how to take shortcuts. Without these two boars, what can he do..."

Before he finished speaking, his pupils suddenly constricted into dangerous pinpricks.

Because he saw that in the distant mist, the Barbarian King hero, holding a giant axe, was slowly approaching him with over a dozen Goblins.

It was as if everything that had just happened was within the opponent's calculations.

"Kill!"

Fiery Mad Blade was now filled only with rage. He commanded his remaining fifteen Fiery Skeletons to charge forward.

"[Fiery Rampage]!"

He activated his hero skill, and all his skeleton soldiers, including himself, burst into even hotter flames, their attack power and speed skyrocketing!

"I'm fighting on home turf, with a 200% attribute bonus! You've lost your trump card, how can you fight me!" Fiery Mad Blade sneered, as if he could already see his opponent being overwhelmed by his skeleton sea.

However, Lin Feng just looked at him coldly, as if looking at a dead man.

His thoughts stirred.

A soft, yet terrifying yellow halo descended from the sky, precisely enveloping all of Lin Feng's Goblin troops.

[Healing Spell]!

The subsequent battle turned into a one-sided slaughter.

The Fiery Skeletons' claws and fiery blades furiously hacked at the Goblins, dealing a string of -80, -100 damage.

But immediately after, they were instantly topped up by the +100, +100 green numbers from the healing aura!

Lin Feng's Goblin units didn't even lose health!

"No... This is impossible! What kind of spell is this!!"

Fiery Mad Blade's sneer froze on his face, replaced by bone-chilling coldness and despair.

In just ten seconds, his last fifteen Fiery Skeletons were slaughtered by this unkillable Goblin army.

On the battlefield, only he remained, a lone commander.

Lin Feng controlled the Barbarian King, who swept his giant axe and easily cut him down.

During the thirty seconds he waited to respawn, Lin Feng's troops swarmed forward, completely destroying the Town Hall, which had only 800 health left.

Throughout the entire battle, Lin Feng's cost was merely two Heavy Armored Boar Elite and four elite melee Goblins.

Lin Feng's consciousness returned to his fortress, and the cold system notification arrived as expected.

[Congratulations on winning the Life-and-Death Duel! You have received spoils of war: Gold x4000, heavy oil x1000!]

"Not bad, a good haul."

Relying on such plundering, he would soon accumulate 20,000 gold coins to upgrade to Town Hall level seven.

Lin Feng's gaze pierced through the void, as if he could already see that self-righteous "Little Devil" on the other side of the map, sitting on his ridiculous throne, completely unaware that his demise was imminent.

"Your game will soon be over."
