66: Fallen Phoenix? In front of me, it's just a roasted chicken!

The Fallen Phoenix's claws were sharper than imagination.

The Corrosion effect was extremely insidious.

The Mystic Destroyer, which had just been rampaging through the cannon fodder like it was entering an uninhabited land, now resembled a tiger caught in a spider web, full of power yet slowly disintegrating from the inside out.

-1000!

-1000!

Each swing of the Fallen Phoenix's claws took away a large chunk of health, and the layers of purple-black light were like maggots on bone, constantly eroding its life essence, even significantly reducing the lifesteal effect.

In the Tumo Yuanzhengjun channel, everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the screen.

The despair from before had now transformed into fervent anticipation.

Swift Wind Swordsman: “Kill it! That’s it! Empress is awesome! Tear that tin can apart!”

Iron Wall: “See that! Percentage health drain! This is a true hero killer! Even if Heaven's Choice’s monsters can lifesteal, they’ll kneel after five stacks of Corrosion!”

“Pfft!”

Under another fierce claw strike from the Fallen Phoenix, the first Mystic Destroyer’s massive body shook, its chest energy core instantly dimmed, then exploded into a dazzling blue fireworks display, dissipating on the battlefield.

“Good!!!”

A thunderous cheer erupted in the channel.

The scales of victory seemed to be tipping towards them at a visible speed!

A ferocious smile, mixed with glee and madness, appeared on the Phoenix Empress’s face.

She knew it!

This was a real battle! This was the dominance an SSS-rank talent should have! What Mystic Destroyers, what War Demons, in front of her Fallen Phoenix, they were just slightly tougher sandbags!

“Next!”

Her will was like the most vicious curse.

The Fallen Phoenix let out a shriek, flapped its wings, and Shadow Assault activated again, its purple figure ghost-like as it latched onto the second Mystic Destroyer!

The same script played out again.

Claws swung, Corrosion stacked, health bars plummeted.

The Tumo Yuanzhengjun watched with surging excitement, as if they could already see the final scene of the five black demons being dismembered one by one, and Heaven's Choice’s defeat.

“It’s the second one! The second one is coming soon!”

“Too strong! The Empress’s tactics are simply unsolvable! Use a sea of corpses to stall, then single-target hero assassination! Heaven's Choice is completely out of moves now!”

However, Lin Feng, seated deep within the fortress, watched the rapidly deteriorating battle on the screen, his eyes still as calm as a bottomless cold pool.

There wasn't even the slightest hint of surprise on his face.

As if the demise of these two costly Mystic Destroyers was entirely within his calculations.

“Finally… are you showing your last trump card?”

A cold and playful arc formed at the corner of his mouth.

He had been waiting for this moment.

Since the battle began, the Phoenix Empress’s five-second invincibility skill had been like a thorn hanging over his head, preventing him from launching a true offensive at will.

And now, to pursue extreme single-target burst, she had actively switched to this “Fallen Form” which abandoned all self-preservation abilities.

She had staked all her chips on this seemingly powerful, yet actually fragile, hero.

This was akin to a swordsman, in pursuit of ultimate lethality, throwing away his shield and choosing to wield a sword with both hands.

It appeared more powerful, but in reality, it was full of flaws.

Just as the second Mystic Destroyer’s health bar was about to bottom out, and the Fallen Phoenix raised its claws high, preparing to deliver the fatal blow.

Lin Feng moved.

His finger glided smoothly across the virtual spell list.

Two cards quietly lit up.

One emanated a sacred golden glow.

The other was permeated with bone-chilling extreme cold.

“Divine Grace Surge.”

Lin Feng’s will descended like a divine oracle.

Buzz—!

A warm and immense golden aura exploded, centered on the low-health Mystic Destroyer!

Where the aura passed, it was like a spring breeze, bringing everything back to life.

The five stacks of Corrosion debuff, which had clung to the Mystic Destroyer like virulent poison, were instantly purified!

Immediately after, a vast surge of life energy poured in, forcefully raising its already near-shattered health bar by a large margin!

“What?!”

The Phoenix Empress’s sneer instantly froze.

She watched helplessly as the Fallen Phoenix’s determined claw strike landed on the Mystic Destroyer, but only dealt basic damage, unable to trigger the Corrosion effect anymore.

The cheers in the Tumo Yuanzhengjun channel also stopped abruptly, like a chicken whose neck had been squeezed.

“Dispel?! He still has dispel spells?!” Zhinang’s voice carried a hint of imperceptible tremor.

And it wasn't over!

Almost at the same instant Divine Grace Surge took effect, Lin Feng’s second command was issued.

“Freeze.”

Boom!

Above the battlefield, the situation changed dramatically!

A massive, circular magic array made of pure ice, descended from the sky without warning, like a giant ice-blue hand, precisely pressing the Fallen Phoenix, which was in the middle of its attack wind-down, firmly to the ground!

Crack—!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The Fallen Phoenix’s body, burning with demonic flames, along with its crimson eyes filled with shock and terror, was instantly frozen into a crystal-clear, lifelike ice sculpture.

All movements, all madness, all killing intent, were completely fixed at this moment.

“No!!!”

The Phoenix Empress let out a hysterical shriek.

Only then did she realize what an insidious trap she had fallen into!

The opponent’s goal from the very beginning was not to trade lives with her hero! But to use her hero’s life to gain an offensive pathway!

Three unharmed Mystic Destroyers simultaneously turned their direction at this moment.

They ignored the cannon fodder still surging like a tide around them, and three pairs of eerie blue energy eyes simultaneously locked onto the frozen ice sculpture!

Three massive energy greatblades were raised high, carrying the fire of vengeance, and slashed down fiercely!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

-1500!

-1500!

-1500!

Without any defensive reductions, the Fallen Phoenix’s twenty-five thousand health bar was cleared instantly, like it was made of paper!

The ice sculpture shattered with a crash.

However, just as the Fallen Phoenix’s body exploded, its final characteristic was triggered.

Final Sacrifice!

Rumble!!!!

A massive, pure black destructive energy erupted from its demise location, forming a huge spherical shockwave that swept through everything around it!

The three closest Mystic Destroyers bore the brunt, their health bars dropping sharply!

Along with large swathes of Goblins and Barbarians around them, they were also instantly vaporized into nothingness in this indiscriminate explosion.

The Phoenix Empress’s avatar darkened.

Hero Revival Countdown: 30 seconds

Thirty seconds.

For a battle that changed in an instant, this was as long as a century.

On the battlefield, freed from the hero’s restraint, the three Mystic Destroyers, though damaged, still possessed terrifying combat power, finally revealed their most ferocious fangs.

They took heavy strides, like unstoppable siege beasts, launching their final charge towards the stone-built city wall.

All cannon fodder attempting to block them along the way were swept away and harvested in swathes by their energy greatblades, which came with chain lightning and lifesteal effects.

Their health bars slowly but steadily recovered amidst the continuous slaughter.

“Stop them! Quick! Hell Tower!!” The Phoenix Empress shrieked frantically in the channel, her voice filled with unprecedented panic.

The Hell Tower, now free from the freeze effect, once again glowed with crimson light, locking onto one of the Mystic Destroyers.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle—

Crimson rays scorched its body, and the damage continuously stacked.

But it was utterly useless!

From locking on to burning a Mystic Destroyer to death, it would take at least ten seconds!

And those ten seconds were enough for the remaining two Destroyers to smash her city wall into rubble!

Boom!

The city wall was breached.

Boom!

The Hell Tower, on which she had placed such high hopes, collapsed like building blocks under the successive hacks of two energy greatblades!

The Phoenix Empress watched helplessly as her defenses were torn to shreds, watching the three demons rampage before her main city, and she felt that the thirty-second revival countdown was so long, so… despair-inducing.

The countdown reached zero!

The Holy Phoenix’s figure re-condensed above the main city!

“Die for me!!!”

The Phoenix Empress’s will had reached its peak of madness!

She didn't hesitate for a moment; the instant she revived, she unleashed her final trump card with a fierce slap!

Hero Skill: Holy Shield Protection!

A brilliant golden shield instantly enveloped the Phoenix’s entire body!

Five seconds, invincible!

She transformed into a golden streak of light, rushing fearlessly towards the three Mystic Destroyers that were dismantling her city!

This was a one-sided slaughter.

In the face of five seconds of absolute invincibility, the two full-health Mystic Destroyers had no room to resist, and were single-handedly killed on the spot by the mad Phoenix with primitive pecks, one after another.
