Death by Touch, Terror by Name
The thunder of hooves tore through the scorched plains as dozens of nightmare steeds—twisted beasts cloaked in shadow—charged forward with their riders, surrounding Lin Feng and his group in an unbreakable circle.
Lin Feng's gaze swept over the approaching enemies. Above their heads, glowing panels shimmered into view:
[Demonic Rebel Cavalry – Gold-Tier]
Type: Elite Monster
Level: 30
HP: 5800/5800
Attack: 320
Defense: 120
Skills: Death Charge Lv5, Winter's Bite Lv5, Demonic Bloodline Lv5, Execution Slash Lv5
Description: Former rebel cavalry now corrupted alongside their nightmare mounts. Known for ruthless pursuit and overwhelming assault tactics.
These weren't ordinary foot soldiers anymore—they were elite cavalry. Gold-tier monsters, enhanced by demonic corruption. Even at Level 30, their stats presented a dire threat to the battered remnants of General Harlan troops.
But this time, they weren't alone.
With a flick of his fingers, Lin Feng activated the Insect Swarm Ring. A tremor pulsed through the ground. With a guttural screech, a colossal armored guardian insect burst from beneath the soil, standing protectively between Harlan and his men.
"General," Lin Feng said calmly, not looking back. "Stay behind. I'll handle them."
Though worry filled Harlan face, the truth was clear—his remaining soldiers were already hanging on by a thread. He gave Lin Feng a silent nod and signaled his men to stay put.
Alone, Lin Feng stepped into the open, immediately becoming the primary target of the encircling riders. With a wordless roar, the corrupted cavalry launched their Death Charge, closing in like a black tide.
But Lin Feng didn't move.
—5 Damage. Counterattack: 65,000 Damage!

—5 Damage. Counterattack: 65,000 Damage!
Their blades barely nicked his armor—mere scratches on a walking fortress. But each touch triggered a violent, instantaneous counterattack from his Divine Immortal Body. Riders and mounts alike exploded in bursts of light, bodies disintegrating before they even had time to scream.

Within minutes, Lin Feng stood at the center of a mound of corpses. The earth drank deep of blood. Still, the rebels surged forward—wave after wave—only to be shattered like glass.
Behind him, Harlan and his few surviving men stared in utter disbelief.
"Did he just take on ten… no, fifteen of those cavalrymen? At once?!" one of the soldiers muttered.
"They were Gold-tier elites…" another whispered. "Even General Huangfu wouldn't dare face that many alone."
But Lin Feng not only stood his ground—he hadn't lost a single drop of blood.
Congratulations! Your level has increased to Level 25!
Constitution +10!
You have gained 5 Potential Points!
With the battlefield drenched in corpses and rewards flowing in like a flood, Lin Feng opened his stat panel:
[Player ID]: Immortal One
Level: 25
Class: Primordial Dragon Knight (Hidden – Unique)
Talent: Lv2 Divine Immortal Body
→ Next Upgrade: 200/500 Demon Kills | 100,000 Gold

Attack: 5800

Agility: 140
Intelligence: 120

With each kill, his health skyrocketed, and his defense soared. Even if a Level 100 monster came charging, it would struggle to dent his armor.
The remaining cavalrymen faltered. Fear crept into their eyes.
"His defense… It's unreal. Our blades can't even scratch him!"
Then, a new sound thundered across the field—heavier, more menacing.
CLUMP. CLUMP. CLUMP.
A monstrous figure emerged from behind the remaining cavalry, riding atop a mutated, three-eyed direwolf. The earth trembled beneath its weight.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes as the system panel revealed the newcomer's identity:
[Demonic Rebel Commander – Gold-Tier BOSS]
Type: Standard Boss
Level: 30
HP: 30,000 / 30,000
Attack: 600
Defense: 300
Skills: Demonic Summon Lv5, Death's Desperation Lv5, Brutal Charge Lv5, Vines of Corruption Lv5
Description: Once a rebel commander, now twisted by dark power drawn from the Corruption Caverns. His strength surges when cornered.
"It's the rebel leader!" General Harlan shouted. "Be careful—he's far stronger than the others!"
But Lin Feng remained calm, almost amused. He tilted his head toward the corrupted commander.
"Another desperate dog clinging to forbidden power. You're not even worth the effort."
The boss snarled at the insult, eyes glowing red. "Arrogant brat! You'll pay for every man you've killed—with your life!"
He roared, raising a massive blood-stained blade. Behind him, the last of his troops charged toward Lin Feng in a frenzy.
Lin Feng stomped the ground.
[War Stomp – Lv1]
A shockwave exploded outward, tearing across the battlefield. The cavalry was annihilated instantly—reduced to ashes before they reached him.
—5800 Damage!
—5800 Damage!
Even the rebel commander staggered, losing a third of his HP as the seismic wave left him reeling, stunned, wide open.
The remaining soldiers turned their eyes to the Immortal One—not with rage, but terror. Their final thoughts were of regret as they fell, one after another, into the ever-growing pile of corpses.
