Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 956: Grudge
A terrifying, earth-shattering roar drowned out all other sounds! It was like the collision of stars!

The enormous, all-encompassing bone palm phantom, carrying immense power capable of shattering mountains, slammed down with overwhelming force!
The ground of half the street beneath our feet collapsed as if struck by a meteorite!

Spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly across the ground!

Thick, almost tangible smoke billowed out, obscuring the entire battlefield!

The terrifying shockwave blew everything around it away!
Only Fang Yu's figure was completely crushed into the depths of the giant pit!
"Madman!! Madman!! Madman!!!"

At the edge of the deep pit, the hysterical will of the Bone Shattered Bow Demon roared wildly amidst the dust!
Its body, shattered into countless pieces and nearly reduced to bone dust, floated up eerily as if drawn by a magnet. Every broken bone fragment trembled, rapidly converging towards the center, piecing itself back together, and restoring itself! In just a few breaths, the gruesome white skeleton reformed once more!
But its current state is extremely wretched, with cracks all over the joints, and the powerful aura that originally surrounded it has weakened considerably!
It waded into the smoke and dust that filled the center of the deep pit, its target being the center point at the bottom of the pit that was pressed down by the phantom of its giant hand!

"Disappear completely!!!"

The demon issued a silent death sentence! Its skeletal right hand plunged deep into its cervical spine, and with a crack, it pulled out a three-foot-long, deathly white section of spinal cord, wreathed in dark, ghostly flames! The bone-spike-like end shrieked, like a burning hellish spear, imbued with its remaining malevolent power, carrying an aura of destruction and blasphemy, and ruthlessly thrust it straight down at the faintly visible silhouette in the smoke and dust below! Its target: the heart!

"I am... immortal and indestructible!!!" The skeletal jaw opened and closed silently, its mind filled with twisted confidence and rage!
puff! !
The spinal cord bone spike pierced through Fang Yu's chest like a red-hot iron into butter! A violent tremor came from the figure!

Immediately afterwards——

Snapped!
A bloody, bony hand, ignoring the severe injuries, clamped down like an iron clamp on the spinal cord bone piercing the body, locking it in place! Fresh blood dripped continuously from between the fingers and the bone piercing.

"Immortal and indestructible?" A hoarse, mocking voice came from the smoke and dust.

Fang Yu slowly raised his head, a smile spreading across his blood-stained face.

Blood trickled down his lips, but his eyes burned with a madness more dazzling than any demon's!

"What are you talking about? Your health bar is almost empty."

Fang Yu's voice carried an almost cruel mockery, clearly penetrating the shattered skull of the Bone-Shattering Bow Demon amidst the shrill whistling of the bone blades piercing the air and the explosive clash of swords.

Health bar? What health bar?!

These abrupt words pierced the consciousness of the Bone-Shattered Bow Demon, which was consumed by frenzied killing, like a cold needle.

The flickering flame of its soul deep within its eye sockets rippled violently, revealing extreme confusion and a hint of unspeakable panic—a primal fear of the unknown.

It didn't understand what the human was saying, but some deep-seated instinct was screaming a warning!

Click! Click, click, click!

In that very moment of bewilderment!

Buzz——!!!!!!!
Like a million venomous bees flapping their wings and hissing simultaneously, the piercing sound of a sword tearing through the air!

A blazing white sword light, condensed to its extreme, swept in without warning like a raging sea, completely engulfing everything in its sight! The world was swallowed by pure white and death!

This was not a simple beam of light, but a net of destruction woven from dozens or even hundreds of incredibly sharp sword energies!
Each sword beam seemed to possess a life of its own, greedily slicing through its decaying bones!

Fang Yu's figure twisted and flickered in the sword light, his arms turning into indistinct afterimages due to the high-speed slashing.

The longsword in his hand was no longer cold metal, but had transformed into an extension of pure destructive will, accompanied by a tooth-grinding scraping sound, precisely, efficiently, and mercilessly slashing at every connection point of the Bone Shattering Bow Demon's body!

"Ughh ...

The icy touch of death instantly gripped the core of the Bone Shattered Bow Demon.

The illusory crimson mark above its head, visible only to Fang Yu—the "health bar" that marked its survival—was rapidly decreasing at a visible speed! Its limbs, joints, chest cavity, and skull were like rotten wood thrown into a shredder, crumbling and shattering inch by inch in the violent storm of sword energy!
Bone fragments mixed with the remaining decaying spiritual energy scattered everywhere!

Its bone defense, which it was so proud of and which had been tempered by the resentment of countless living beings, was now as fragile as a sheet of paper!
Each time its structure is severed, it instinctively and frantically unleashes its demonic power, causing the scattered bone fragments to buzz and be drawn back, attempting to reassemble.

However, fear tightened around its soul like a poisonous vine—it discovered with horror that the speed at which its body could reassemble and recover was far slower than the speed at which Fang Yu's longsword could dismember it even more thoroughly! Each glimmer of healing was extinguished by an even more violent sword light!

The feeling of watching itself head towards destruction and being powerless to stop it drove it into complete madness!

"No! No, no, no—!!!"

The Bone Shattered Bow Demon roared in despair, a roar filled with the madness of the abyss!
It knew it was doomed!
Even if I die, I'll drag this damned human down with me!

"Kill!! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

It completely abandoned evasion and defense, burning away the last remaining essence of its demon core!

The severed joints of the arms wriggled and grew wildly, instantly piercing out dozens of pale, sharp bone spurs, carrying an aura of deadly poison and curse!

Like a runaway meat grinder, it abandoned all defense and used all its strength to frantically stab all the bone spikes into Fang Yu's flesh and blood!
*Pfft! Pfft! Pfft pfft!*
The dull thud of a sharp object piercing flesh is chilling!

Fang Yu's upper body, arms, legs, and even cheeks were instantly pierced with more than a dozen gruesome bloody holes! Hot blood gushed out like a fountain, turning him into a blood-soaked mess!
"Hahahaha!! That was great! Let's do it again!!"

However, the expected scene of Fang Yu screaming and falling to the ground did not occur.

The response to this fatal stab was Fang Yu's wild, almost distorted laughter!
There was no pain in that laughter; instead, it was filled with an indescribable excitement and…

enjoy?

He paid no attention to the poisonous bone spurs embedded in his body, and just swung his longsword even more frantically!

Each strike carries unparalleled power, and each chop causes the opponent's bones to groan in agony from the unbearable strain!
Trading injury for injury? Fighting for life? This was precisely the way to ignite a primal flame deep within his soul!
"Die! Die! Die, die, die, die, die—!!"

The Bone Shattering Bow Demon had fallen into utter hysteria. Every bone spike was stained with the blood that it and its enemies had gushed out. It had become insane, only wanting to drag its opponent to hell in its last moments.

"Awesome! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!"

Fang Yu's laughter grew increasingly manic and eerie, as if the excruciating pain and the frantically spurting blood were the most exquisite sensory stimulation. He was covered in blood, every wound throbbing violently, every breath burning his lungs, but an unprecedented, morbid excitement swept through his body like poison, making his eyes burn like a demon!

Fang Yu had become a walking gourd of blood, his body riddled with knife wounds and bone spurs that penetrated deep enough to expose the bone.

However, his opponent, the Bone Shattering Bow Demon, was in an even more dire state!
That once hard, iron-like skeletal body is now covered with a dense, spreading web of cracks!

Each forced reconstruction after shattering appeared hasty and fragile, the depletion of demonic power preventing it from regaining its original strength.

The thick leg bone that originally required Fang Yu to concentrate his strength and strike several times to break was now as fragile as if it had been eroded by thousands of years.

The longsword swept across like a hot knife through rotten wood, easily shredding it into fragments! "Crack! Bang! Crash—!"

This vicious cycle is becoming increasingly apparent!

The longer the battle dragged on, the more ferocious Fang Yu's swordplay became, while the Bone Shattered Bow Demon's body reassembled more slowly, making it weaker in its resistance!

It managed to piece together an arm, only to have it instantly shredded into powder by the sword light; it had just used bone fragments to protect the core of its skull when the entire skull was blasted apart by the sword energy in the next second!

They were completely reduced to being unilaterally abused!
The ferocious, desperate momentum from just moments before vanished, replaced by a despair that overwhelmed it like a cold tide. The balance of power had been reversed in an instant!

"No...no no no! Stop! Stop now—!!"

The cold touch of death finally extinguished its madness, and fear took over.

It tried to retreat, but its body was too badly damaged to make any effective escape maneuvers.

"It's Lulu! Lulu sent me!! Lulu wants to kill you—!! Stop! Stop right now!!! Do you hear me?!"

It roared hysterically, hoping to gain a chance of survival by talking about the mastermind behind it all. Its piercing screams were filled with the most primal instinct for survival; it invoked Lulu's name, attempting to use it as its last lifeline!

Buzz—! ! ! !

What responded to it was a fleeting, even more chilling glint in Fang Yu's eyes, and a fatal slash that was more dazzling and decisive than all the previous sword lights combined!

puff!

Snap! Boom—!!!
The sword light pierced precisely through its cracked, nearly disintegrating skull! And just as the sword tip emerged from its skull, it seemed to have triggered the breaking point at its core...

BOOM—! BOOM ...
Like a decaying husk stretched to its limit and then bursting, the massive skeleton of the Bone Shattered Bow Demon, along with its last flickering soul flame, exploded without warning! It turned into a sky full of fine, sand-like white bone dust!

The bone dust, falling like the coldest snowflakes of winter, slowly settled on the ground, piling up into small, pale "grave mounds."

Dead!

There was no trace of life left. Its "health bar," the instant its consciousness dissipated, went completely gray and returned to zero. Without leaving a single trace.

Ding!
[System notification: Congratulations to the player for defeating the [Bone Shattering Bow Demon], gaining experience points...]

The cold, emotionless system notification sounded in Fang Yu's mind as scheduled, announcing the end of this bloody battle.

died?

...He just died like that?

Fang Yu remained in the position of thrusting his sword, standing there, momentarily bewildered.

His heavy breathing aggravated his wounds, bringing sharp pains, but it couldn't immediately awaken his mind, which was immersed in a frenzied killing spree.

The scene of the fierce battle just now, like a painting washed by water, became blurry in my mind.

All he remembered was... a strange, unsettling feeling.

Subconsciously, he raised his hand and wiped his face.

A subtle, hard granular sensation and a strange coolness came through my fingertips.

It was bone fragments from that monster, which covered his fingertips and cheeks.

This cold touch felt like a key that unlocked a door.

He blinked, the frenzied light in his crimson pupils slowly fading, and a long-lost clarity struggled to emerge. The exhilarating, heart-pounding "enjoyment" he had just experienced was now vividly imprinted on his senses, causing him to shudder involuntarily!

enjoy?

I...I'm actually enjoying this...primal slaughter, like a wild beast tearing apart, full of blood and madness?
The moment this thought crossed his mind, it was like being doused with ice water! A strong, almost physiological discomfort instantly gripped his heart!
It shouldn't be like this!
This is wrong! This shouldn't be happening!

The thought struck him like a thunderbolt!
Fang Yu suddenly jolted awake, as if he had just escaped from a hazy, sticky nightmare.

The initial fervor cooled considerably, and the remaining excitement was forcibly suppressed by reason, replaced by a sense of lingering fear and awareness.

He looked down at the handful of pale bone powder on the ground, his eyes becoming complicated. The frenzied state of being absorbed in it just now had vanished without a trace, replaced by a deep scrutiny.

After a long while, Fang Yu slowly bent down and picked up the longbow, which was completely black and had been left behind, from beside the pile of bone powder.

It felt cold and heavy to the touch, its body gleaming with a dark, eerie light. It was neither gold nor wood, its material peculiar. In the terrifying battle storm that had just engulfed steel and shattered rocks, this bow remained completely undamaged, without even a scratch!

"It really is good stuff..."

He muttered to himself, his fingers tracing the cold, arched arm, his eyes gleaming.

"There's no movement over there!"

"Is the game over? Who won?"

"I don't know, that smoke and dust was full of bone fragments and blood...it was terrifying..."

"Who dares to go and check? What if..."

The sudden outbreak of such a large-scale and violent conflict in the bustling city streets is bound to be accompanied by countless eyes watching, and what follows is endless trouble—interrogation by the government, gathering of crowds, investigation by powerful forces... Just thinking about it is a headache.

Fang Yu has always acted discreetly and discreetly to avoid attracting attention.

It was definitely not his intention to make such a rash move in a crowded place.

But the other party had already put a knife to his neck!
"I can't just stand there like an idiot and offer my neck to someone to chop off, can I?" He curled his lips into a cold smile.

“Lulu…”

As he pondered the name, Fang Yu's eyes suddenly turned as cold as ice.
