Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Shadow Strike!

Just before the lightning carried by the battle axe was about to strike him, Liu Nian's figure suddenly vanished from the spot!

In the next instant, he appeared out of thin air behind Thunderclaw Furymane like a shadow!

"Huh?!" Thunder Claw Fury Mane missed its target and its double axes slammed into the open ground in front of where Liu Nian had been standing!

"Boom—!!! Crack!!!"

The earth trembled violently! Where the two axes landed, a charred crater over three meters in diameter and two meters deep instantly formed!

The power of that single strike was terrifying!

However, Thunderclaw Ragemane's ferocious strike missed its mark.

But his fighting instincts and reaction speed are equally astonishing!

In the instant the blow landed, he used his terrifying core strength to forcefully twist his body. Taking advantage of the recoil from the strike, the muscles in his left arm contracted and then exploded like a spring. The giant axe in his left hand drew a sharp and deadly semi-circular arc of lightning, sweeping across the battlefield as it slashed at Liu Nian's waist!

Where the axe blade passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a mournful whistling sound!

Faced with this powerful sweeping attack, Liu Nian didn't even think about dodging!

He aimed precisely at the trajectory of the axe as it swept across, and with perfect precision, slapped the axe with his claw!

"clang---!!"

A deafening explosion erupted! The sound waves shattered the surrounding crystal clusters!

The scene that Liu Nian was expected to be swept away by an axe did not occur.

On the contrary, Thunderclaw Furymane felt an overwhelming force coming from the handle of his left axe.

"Well!"

Thunderclaw Furymane grunted, nearly losing his grip on the axe handle!

"What?!" Thunderclaw Ragemane steadied himself and looked up sharply, his bear eyes, which were crackling with electricity, now filled with astonishment!

"You've got some skill." Liu Nian smiled.

Based on that exchange, Liu Nian had a general idea of ​​what was going on: this Demon Bear player's strength attribute was probably stronger than Wang Tugang's, roughly on par with Wang Mu's, or even slightly better.

Because the opponent's weapon was too large, Liu Nian's attack landed on the weapon and did not cause any damage, but the weapon's durability dropped drastically!

"Arrogant!!!"

Thunderclaw Fury was enraged by Liu Nian's nonchalant attitude, or rather, it ignited his competitive spirit and fighting desire!

A tiny human being...

"Roar! Ro ...

He let out a furious roar! The already active lightning around him went completely berserk at this moment!

"Thunderous Berserk!"

With the surge of energy, Thunderclaw Ragemane's already massive body bulged and expanded again, its muscles bulging and its bones cracking with a teeth-grinding sound. Its size seemed to grow even larger amidst the lightning!

An even stronger sense of oppression than before swept in all directions like a bursting torrent!

He stomped his feet on the ground, and the two giant thunder battle axes in his hands, driven by his wildly waving arms, completely transformed into a storm of destruction!

A continuous barrage of thunderous strikes rained down!

Each swing was accompanied by a piercing roar of lightning.

Faced with this ferocious offensive, Liu Nian made a move.

Facing the intertwined net of lightning axes that filled the sky, I took a step forward!

"Come!"

Liu Nian shouted and threw a straight punch!

No dodging, no evasion, just attacking head-on, a direct confrontation!

"Bang!"

His right fist struck straight down, colliding violently with the side of a thunderous axe blade slashing down vertically!

"clang!"

With his left arm swung horizontally, he forcefully smashed away a sweeping arc-shaped lightning blade with the back of his fist!

"boom!"

He lunged forward, leaping up and delivering a heavy hook punch that landed squarely on Lei Zhao!

……

Every time their fists and axes clashed, a heart-stopping thud and a surge of energy erupted!

The damage from Thunderclaw: Rage Mane is indeed quite high!

Each of his axe strikes deals pure physical damage that easily surpasses 40! And those skill strikes that gather even more lightning energy can unleash damage exceeding 100 million!

His attacks also have multiple effects: stun, knockback, paralysis, electrocution...

however……

Liu Nian's numbers are simply outrageous.

With a terrifying maximum health of over 30 million, an extremely high shield, and outrageous dual resistances, his health bar didn't even budge when facing this kind of damage.

Moreover, every seemingly "casual" counterattack from Liu Nian made the Thunder Bear feel an unbearable weight when it landed on the Angry Bear!

The battle lasted less than ten seconds, and Thunderclaw Furymane was already almost dead.

"Roar! I'm not fighting anymore! I'm not fighting anymore! You're amazing!" Thunderclaw Ragemane suddenly jumped back to create distance, panting heavily, his fighting spirit replaced by shock.

His health plummeted like an avalanche under Liu Nian's seemingly effortless counterattacks! It had already fallen below the 20% danger line and was about to enter a critical state!

He paused, then added, his voice filled with complex emotions: "I can tell... you weren't playing seriously at all!"

These words revealed the greatest shock and sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Liu Nian certainly wasn't fighting seriously. He only used one move, Shadow Strike, from beginning to end; the rest were all basic attacks!

Just then—

"Tap tap tap tap..."

"Angry Mane! What's going on?!"

"Enemy detected?!"

"What's that... a human player?!"

From the passageway to the side, seven or eight equally burly figures burst out of the shadows!

They were well-trained and quickly dispersed, forming a semi-circular encirclement that surrounded Liu Nian and the disheveled Nu Zong, blocking their main escape route!

Those who arrived were all players from the Demon Bear Clan!

Moreover, these seven or eight newly appeared Demon Bear players are all over three meters tall, with burly and powerful physiques, bulging muscles, and an explosive sense of power!

The fierce aura emanating from them was so powerful that none of them were inferior in terms of imposing presence to Thunderclaw Furymane, who had just been crippled!

There were even two or three of them, whose sense of oppression was subtly stronger!

They wielded heavy weapons befitting their size: massive warhammers the size of doors, terrifying greatswords with blades as wide as guillotines, and long-handled armor-piercing battle axes...

What's even more striking is that they are all surrounded by clear and active elemental energy fluctuations—jumping blue-white arcs of electricity, heavy and dense earth-yellow halos, scorching and violent crimson flames... Clearly, they all possess elemental abilities that are integrated with their own power systems.

The rank insignia above their heads made Liu Nian's pupils shrink slightly—

【Lv.99】

【Lv.99】

【Lv.99】

……

All of them are Lv.99!

Liu Nian felt a chill run down his spine!

One Thunder Claw - Raging Mane already demonstrated terrifying strength close to Wang Mu's. Now, seven or eight companions with similar auras and levels, or even slightly stronger than him, have suddenly appeared!

"Could it be... that my previous judgment was wrong?" A thought uncontrollably surfaced, "This Angry Mane isn't some top expert among the Demon Bear Clan; he's just... an ordinary player?"
