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

A flash of anger crossed Lion King Ryan's eyes.

He had already declared a ceasefire, and the golden shockwave still lingered on the ground as the suppressed players put away their weapons.

But these snake-men, these cold-blooded reptiles who don't know their place, actually dared to attack? And they even charged at him?

A nobody whose name he doesn't even know dares to charge at him—the deputy city lord of the Savage Fortress, the eternal-level BOSS, Lion King Ryan—wielding a broken dagger?

"court death!"

Ryan's voice boomed like thunder, his dark golden mane stood on end, and he tightened his grip on the golden warhammer.

A cold smile even lingered on his lips—these players are getting more and more reckless!

He decided to use this hammer blow to make everyone present remember that the majesty of Lion King Ryan is not to be challenged!

Liu Nian slashed down several orc players blocking his way. His gaze swept over the chaotic crowd and locked onto the tall, golden figure—Lion King Ryan.

He saw the anger in Ryan's eyes, saw Ryan raise his warhammer, and saw the cold smile on Ryan's lips.

Liu Nian's lips also curled up.

He pretended to be a snake man for half a day, acted cowardly for half a day, and played the role of an "insignificant nobody" for half a day.

Heh, now I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table!

An eternal-level boss, right?

Eat my Soviet big seat!

A Leap of Heavenly Punishment!

whoosh-

Liu Nian's body rose from the ground like a shooting star.

In the blink of an eye, he had already streaked across the sky, leaving a clear trail.

Ryan looked up at the sky.

As the deputy lord of the Savage Fortress, no player has ever dared to attack him with a skill whose trajectory is so clear.

This kind of move that falls from the sky is visually appealing and quite powerful, but its drawbacks are too obvious—the trajectory is fixed, the landing point can be predicted, and no matter how fast it is, there is still a traceable path.

It can be said that it can only hit fixed targets, but if there is any preparation, it can directly make the opponent's skills miss.

But how could Lion King Ryan possibly hide?

Of course, he wanted to defeat that nobody head-on in a fair and square manner, and let him know what real strength was!

For a seasoned, eternal-level boss like him, Liu Nian was practically a sitting duck.

Ryan raised his golden warhammer to meet Liu Nian's falling figure.

Golden flames roared on the warhammer, his muscles tensed, and he braced himself for power—he was going to smash this reckless snake-man into a shooting star, like hitting a baseball!

He laughed dismissively.

Liu Nian descended with astonishing momentum!

Ryan roared and slammed his golden warhammer down on Liu Nian's falling figure!

Hammer head collided with Liu Nian's feet in mid-air.

Ryan originally thought that even if this attack couldn't turn the snake-man into a white light, it would at least shatter him into a pool of blood mist!

His golden warhammer is an eternal divine weapon; how could a mere snake-man player's physical body possibly withstand it?

But the moment Liu Nian's falling figure collided with the golden warhammer—

Ryan sensed something was wrong.

He felt an unprecedented, overwhelming force surge through his arm.

The flames on the warhammer flickered wildly, then dimmed even faster.

boom--!!!

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

At the point where the warhammer collided with flesh, the air was compressed into a visible white sphere, which rapidly expanded and then exploded.

Centered on the point of impact, the ground within a radius of fifty meters suddenly collapsed downwards.

The ground was as if it were being pressed down by an invisible giant hand, and rubble, corpses, broken weapons, and scattered shields were all pressed into the ground.

The NPC guards standing behind Lion King Ryan, those elite guards wearing silver-white armor and level 199, didn't even have time to scream before their bodies were torn apart like pieces of paper by the shockwave, turning into streaks of white light and dissipating into the air.

Not one left.

Sold out instantly!

Ryan's expression changed.

At this moment, all his composure and disdain vanished from his majestic face, which was usually filled with the aura of a lion king. In its place was an incredulous shock—and a hint of fear hidden deep in his eyes that he himself was unaware of.

His golden warhammer was covered with fine cracks.

The cracks spread outwards from the point of impact, covering the entire hammerhead like a spider web. Scattered flames drifted intermittently from the cracks, like crushed fireflies, flickering faintly in the air before going out completely.

The Golden Warhammer's durability has dropped from full to zero.

[-424 billion!]

A terrifying damage number popped up above Ryan's head.

His health bar shrank dramatically, as if struck by a giant blade, by a full third!

Ryan's health points reached hundreds of billions, dozens of times that of an ordinary legendary boss. His Eternal quality granted him near-immortal defense and regeneration. But faced with this attack, a third of his health bar vanished.

Ryan's expression changed drastically, and his golden mane stood on end.

He's the deputy city lord of the Savage Fortress, an eternal NPC!

From the day the Savage Fortress was built, in all the years that this city has stood on the wasteland, let alone players, no opponent has ever been able to inflict such terrifying damage on it.

This snake-man, whose name he had never even heard of, managed to deplete the durability of his divine weapon in one move and take away a third of his health!

"you--!"

Ryan attempted to retaliate.

But Liu Nian didn't give him any chance.

Upon landing, he pulled his right fist back sharply, as if a black hole had appeared in front of him, the suction force causing Ryan's body to involuntarily lean a step toward Liu Nian.

However, Ryan could easily break free, but Liu Nian wasn't trying to control him; instead, he punched Ryan in the head!

[Twin Casting - Charged Punch - Full Power!]

Boom~

Boom~

The first punch.

The fist slammed into Ryan's head, and golden light exploded from the point of impact, distorting and warping the surrounding air. Ryan's protective shield shattered like glass, golden fragments scattering everywhere.

The second punch.

Almost at the same instant, a second punch followed, striking the same spot precisely.

At that moment, Ryan's head made a crisp, cracking sound.

Two white numbers representing -452 billion true damage popped up above Ryan's head, and then the body of this eternal-level BOSS exploded.

Golden light burst forth from every crevice of his chest, head, and limbs, and then his entire body exploded into countless tiny golden specks.

His golden warhammer fell to the ground, and his body transformed into countless golden specks of light, scattering in the air like a silent golden rain.
