34 vs 200, the Advantage is Mine!

Downstairs, Lin Yi could probably guess that everyone was worried about him right now.

However, he himself wasn't worried in the slightest.

He didn't need a Detector to know the Source Energy Value of the Giant Rock Abyss Bear.

It was only 200 points, so it wasn't much of a problem.

While sprinting wildly toward the pack of Abyssal Beasts, Lin Yi was also calmly assessing the battlefield.

This time was different from the past; he didn't intend to use long-range Source Energy Projection attacks.

Killing a few wolves instantly had very limited deterrent effect on a beast pack of this scale, especially one reinforced by an elite Abyssal Beast.

And with his current Source Energy, the Blue Radiance attacks fired from his fingertips wouldn't threaten the Giant Rock Abyss Bear at all; instead, they would just waste precious Source Energy.

Every bit of strength he had now had to be used where it mattered most.

His goal was very clear, just two words.

Decapitation!

Only by quickly eliminating the most threatening Giant Rock Abyss Bear could he destroy the morale of the wolf pack; otherwise, getting bogged down in a protracted fight would be troublesome.

As his figure darted rapidly through the ruins, the Silver Glow of his Flowing Cloud Armor trailed behind him like a meteor streaking through the morning light.

Just as he entered the attack range of the Abyssal Wolves.

"Pfft! Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

On the left and right, six squads of Abyssal Wolves, like well-trained grenadiers, simultaneously flicked their Bone Tails, spraying clusters of dark green Corrosive Acid that sealed off all possible paths for Lin Yi to advance or retreat.

"Watch out!"

Someone at a second-floor window screamed involuntarily.

Ren Yinuo, behind the camera, also held her breath.

But Lin Yi reacted instantly, his body making micro-adjustments in a split second.

He swayed left and right by a hair's breadth like a willow in the wind, occasionally performing a sharp, short-distance side-slide, or an abrupt, stuttering stop. A dozen clusters of acid whistled past the edges of his armor, all missing their mark!

The one or two that came close to vital areas were precisely swiped away by his backhanded spear.

Accompanied by a dull "whoosh" as the spear shaft cut through the air, the acid was swatted away in mid-air. The acid that landed on the ground hissed, emitting white smoke as it corroded the pavement.

However, although the Abyssal Wolves' coordinated acid attack didn't cause any damage, it did slightly delay Lin Yi's movements.

At this moment, the Giant Rock Abyss Bear had already charged in front of Lin Yi.

The shadow cast by its mountain-like body instantly enveloped Lin Yi. It let out a deafening roar, then stood up on its hind legs, using its massive claws—capable of crushing armor—to strike down with the force of a landslide, accompanied by a fierce gale!

At the same time, the Abyssal Wolves on the left and right flanks moved as well.

Four or five lunged madly from the sides, their sharp claws aiming directly for Lin Yi's lower limbs and waist, attempting to pin him in place, while others sprayed more acid, precisely covering the evasion routes he might use to retreat or sidestep.

A standard encirclement tactic.

Bear Strength for the main attack, melee to restrict evasion, and long-range to finish him off.

Can't retreat; retreating means getting trapped in a protracted fight...

A cold glint flashed in Lin Yi's eyes as he focused his mind and channeled his Source Energy.

The surface of the Flowing Cloud Armor suddenly became bright and rapid, as if a high-speed flowing energy membrane covered his entire body.

"Clang! Sizzle!!"

The claws of the few Abyssal Wolves that lunged to bite him skidded across the armor as if they had struck a high-speed rotating pulley; their force was eerily deflected and discharged, failing to leave even a single scratch.

And the clusters of acid that slammed hard into his chest and shoulder plates were similarly deflected to the sides, as if hitting an inclined armor plate. Only a small amount of viscous liquid clung to the surface, emitting a faint "sizzle" before quickly dissipating.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi's movements remained perfectly composed. Taking advantage of the gap left by an Abyssal Wolf that had missed its lunge on the left, he exerted force from his waist, spinning his body like a top. Using the momentum of the rotation, he delivered a swift and peerless backhanded sweep with the Abyss Breaking Spear in his right arm.

"Bang! Crack!"

The heavy spear shaft, like a giant steel whip, struck the flanks of the two Abyssal Wolves lunging from the right.

Those two Abyssal Wolves didn't even have time to yelp; it was as if they had been hit head-on by a speeding truck. They flew backward, slamming heavily into the ruins in the distance, and went silent.

In that split second, the giant bear's devastating strike descended upon his head.

"BOOM!!!"

As the massive claws slammed down with immense force, the entire ground shook violently. The hard concrete exploded into a large crater, spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly, and countless fragments of stone and brick scattered like shrapnel.

But Lin Yi was no longer where he had been.

Before the momentum of his spear sweep had fully dissipated, he kicked off the ground with his toes. Utilizing the recoil of that sweep, he shot out to the left like a Silver Arrow fired from a powerful crossbow, narrowly avoiding the core area of the lethal strike. Only the flying debris clattered against his armor.

His landing spot was the top of a metal parking meter booth on the left.

With a dull "clank," Lin Yi crouched slightly, landing steadily on top of the booth.

The Abyss Bear's strike had missed, causing massive environmental destruction while also leaving it in an unavoidable, brief moment of rigidity.

At this moment, its old strength was spent, its new strength had yet to arise, and its massive body was even leaning slightly forward because of it.

The Abyssal Wolf guarding its left side had just finished its pouncing motion and had no time to recover its defense.

And this was the opening Lin Yi had deliberately baited!

"Thud!"

The Metal Pavilion Top beneath Lin Yi's feet let out a dull sound as it deformed under the sudden, explosive force of his kick!

He launched himself as if defying gravity, leaping violently from the top of the toll booth toward the right. His target was not the ground, but the thick, muscular shoulder and neck of the Giant Rock Abyss Bear, which was covered in heavy, dark-yellow rock armor.

Time seemed to stretch infinitely in this moment.

On the rooftop, Ren Yinuo watched clearly through her lens as the silver figure unfolded in mid-air, his movements fluid and full of power. The sunlight happened to pierce through a gap in the buildings, gilding him with a dazzling golden edge, as if a god of war had descended to the mortal realm.

On the second floor of Hongfu Tower, everyone who witnessed this scene had their minds go completely blank.

Zhou Jianjun's mouth hung half-open, yet he couldn't make a sound... Chen Yu forgot to breathe, his eyes wide as saucers... Zhou Yuxuan was struggling to put on his arm armor, but his movements froze entirely, and he stared blankly out the window.

"Pfft!"

With a soft sound, Lin Yi landed with pinpoint precision on the Giant Rock Abyss Bear's broad, rock-like right shoulder.

"Awoo?!"

The Giant Rock Abyss Bear seemed to have only just reacted. It let out a roar of shock and fury, subconsciously shaking its head and shoulders in an attempt to throw off this tiny creature.

But it was too late.

Lin Yi's feet were as if rooted, firmly nailed to its shoulder blade. At the same time, he unified his waist and stance to stabilize himself, then held the Abyss Breaking Spear in a reverse grip, raising it high above his head.

All the strength in his body, along with the surging source energy within him, gathered at an unprecedented speed in this instant.

Star Splitting Spear Art—Star Piercer!

Armor Break effect—activated!

The muscles in Lin Yi's arms bulged instantly. As the massive source energy poured in, the Abyss Breaking Spear emitted a faint hum. The dull patterns on the spear shaft suddenly lit up with a deep, profound glow, especially at the tip, where a point of extreme cold light suddenly flashed, blindingly bright.

"Die!"

Lin Yi let out a hearty, furious roar.

His arm muscles twisted like steel cables, pouring all the repression he had felt since his rebirth into the Abyss Breaking Spear, and then he drove it down fiercely into the most fatal weak point where the Giant Rock Abyss Bear's neck met its shoulder blade!

"Clang! Squelch!!"

A bizarre, hair-raising, mixed sound exploded!

First came the ear-piercing screech as the energy condensed at the spear tip collided violently with the heavy rock armor. But after only a moment of stalemate, the hard rock armor shattered and crumbled like fragile glass.

Immediately following, the spear pierced through flesh and blood like a hot knife through butter, crushing bone and penetrating the body with a dull, tearing sound.

"Awoo!!!"

The Giant Rock Abyss Bear let out a shrill, miserable howl.

The massive sound wave surged outward like a physical force, causing the glass windows of Hongfu Tower to hum and vibrate. Its enormous body stiffened abruptly, then began to shake and sway violently, trying to throw off the fatal threat on its shoulder.

But how could Lin Yi possibly give it the chance?

He gripped the spear shaft tightly with both hands, his arms erupting with terrifying power once more, and pressed down and twisted with all his might!

The wailing was cut short, as if severed by a sharp blade.

All of the Giant Rock Abyss Bear's movements froze instantly. The violent light in its scarlet eyes faded rapidly. Its mountain-like body lost all support and then crashed forward onto the ground.

"Boom!"

The earth let out a deep thud. The corpse of the Giant Rock Abyss Bear fell exactly into the crater created by its own giant claw strikes, and dust billowed outward in a ring like a bomb blast.

The whole world seemed to fall completely silent at this moment.

At the second-floor window, there was a deathly silence.

Zhou Jianjun's hand, which was resting on the window frame, trembled uncontrollably. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Chen Yu slumped onto the floor, muttering over and over, "Holy... holy..."

Zhou Yuxuan stopped struggling with his arm armor. He stared fixedly through his lenses at the swirling dust below, his face devoid of expression.

Only his slightly constricted pupils betrayed that his heart was anything but calm.

On the rooftop, Ren Yinuo slowly lowered her camera. She raised her hand, pressed hard against her pounding heart, and then took a deep breath. She raised her camera once more, aiming the lens at the center of the swirling dust.

The dust slowly settled, and a figure gradually became clear.

Lin Yi stood with one knee slightly bent, standing steadily beside the massive, lifeless head of the Giant Rock Abyss Bear. His silver-gray Flowing Cloud Light Armor was stained with dust and a few dark bloodstains, yet it reflected a unique luster in the brightening morning light.

He slowly raised his hand, gripped the still-vibrating shaft of the Abyss Breaking Spear, and with a "shing" sound, pulled the spear from the bear's neck, bringing with it a trail of dark blood droplets.

Then, he pointed the spear tip diagonally toward the ground. The viscous blood dripped slowly along the blood groove, making a "drip, drop" sound in the quiet morning.

The surrounding Abyssal Wolves stood frozen in place, as if under a paralysis spell.

Reflected in their scarlet pupils was the Giant Rock Abyss Bear's massive body, which had collapsed and was now slowly crumbling into ash. Their original ferocity and greed were instantly replaced by the most primal fear.
