I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 657: Chapter 657: Jian Qin/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing the Swordwood Puppet BOSS suddenly becoming berserk, Song Jian’s heart sank, and his face instantly turned ugly, as he once again felt this world’s deep malice towards outsiders.

“How many challengers have entered this world in the past, bringing so much damage to this world, that every person in this world holds such deep hostility towards outsiders?” Song Jian thought to himself.

This relic called Sword Control Hall has existed for hundreds of years, and even in the configuration of this Swordwood Puppet, there is a deadly command against challengers like him. It can be seen that hundreds of years ago, there were challengers who entered this world and caused great harm to it, otherwise, outsiders would not be as unwelcome as stray dogs now.

Watching the Four-armed Swordwood Puppet rush towards himself, Song Jian felt regretful in his heart. If he had not subconsciously used Sacred Parry just now, this Swordwood Puppet would not have discovered his true identity, and he might have been able to learn more sword techniques from it.

It is well-known that in this world, upgrading sword techniques doesn’t have skill point restrictions, as long as the proficiency is sufficient, it will automatically upgrade.

Learning more skills in this world, even if the final mission fails, it won’t be too much of a loss;

“Die now, foreigner!” The Four-Armed Swordwood Puppet roared as if it had a vendetta against Song Jian. It waved its four long swords at Song Jian, seemingly like four well-coordinated Swordmasters attacking him at the same time. Even if Song Jian had not yet reached the first tier of Combat Power, facing this Swordwood Puppet would be challenging for a first-tier Combat Power peak expert.

A faint grey and white aura emerged around Song Jian’s body. As the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword danced, the grey and white aura slowly flowed, forming a faint Tai Chi Yin-Yang fish pattern around Song Jian. When the Swordwood Puppet’s attacks touched Song Jian’s body, they would be drawn away by the Yin-Yang fish pattern formed by the grey and white aura, unable to damage Song Jian.

But this effect could not last long. The short six-second duration soon passed, and Song Jian gritted his teeth, cast the “Immortal Sword Body” directly, and Summoned the small stone man to run to the side, throwing stones from a distance to harass the Swordwood Puppet.

Although the little stone man was also level 30, it hadn’t reached the first-tier Combat Power and could not compete with the Four-armed Swordwood Puppet. However, it had a skill called “Throwing Stone Blocks”, which was like a natural skill for the stone man, consuming very little energy but with decent power. If it hit the target, it could cause 150 damage points each time, and there was a certain chance to stun the target for 3 seconds.

With the Immortal Sword Body activated, Song Jian’s strength increased significantly. The level 8 Immortal Sword Body allowed him to maintain a certain advantage against the frenzied attacks of the Swordwood Puppet. Although he could not avoid losing some blood, his damage to the Swordwood Puppet was greater.

Bang!

A stone hit the head of the Swordwood Puppet hard, and the previously frenzied Puppet suddenly stalled, with a stun symbol appearing above its head.

Song Jian’s eyes lit up, and the sharp blade in his hand quickly cut off the already injured arm of the Puppet.

Sword Silk!

Flash Thunder Strike!

Light Strike!

…

Since his cover was blown, Song Jian had no scruples. He unleashed all his powerful skills at once, aiming to cut the injured arm of the Swordwood Puppet at the shoulder blade.

The three seconds were not enough to cause huge damage to the Swordwood Puppet, but it was more than sufficient to destroy one of its already injured arms.

Quickly, the arm holding the long sword was chopped off by Song Jian;

The moment this arm fell to the ground, Song Jian’s eyes brightened. Although he didn’t know the quality of the long sword used by his opponent, the fact that it had lasted so many years without rust indicated that it was likely of high quality.

Song Jian took a step towards the severed arm, but before he could reach it, the hard outer wood of the arm slowly turned grey and black and turned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, the long sword held by the arm seemed to have experienced thousands of years of erosion. In an instant, it rusted and eventually became a pile of iron slag.

Song Jian was stunned, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face. It seemed that there was no way to get the Swordwood Puppet’s weapon now.

Just then, the Swordwood Puppet had already awakened from its daze and, seemingly unaffected by the loss of an arm, roared and rushed towards Song Jian;

Checking the remaining time for the Immortal Sword Body effect, there was nearly two minutes left. Song Jian turned around, brandishing his long sword, and fiercely collided with the Swordwood Puppet.

…

Jian Qi looked at the scene ahead with a sullen face, feeling as if he had entered a labyrinth. No matter how he walked, he couldn’t find any way out.

At first, he was able to rely on his memory to remember the passages, but as more forks appeared, Jian Qi’s memory began to blur. His mind felt like a confusing web.

Click, click, click~

A familiar sound came from the front, and a skeleton holding a long sword appeared before him. He had already encountered dozens of such monsters, sometimes in groups of three or five and sometimes just one.

Although these sword-wielding skeleton monsters were at level 35, they did not possess first-tier Combat Power. Jian Qi could easily deal with them, but the chaotic passages and endless skeleton monsters made Jian Qi’s mood increasingly worse.

“Damn it, what is this place? Why are there so many forks and passages … ” Jian Qi angrily cleaved the sword-wielding skeleton monster in front of him into pieces, unable to restrain himself from roaring out loud.

Just then, a rumbling tremor came from the distance, sounding as if something had suddenly started up.

Finally, something unusual happened. Jian Qi’s eyes lit up, and he sprinted towards the source of the sound.

After enduring more than an hour of boredom, Jian Qi was about to go mad. Even if there was a first-tier Combat Power BOSS ahead, he would rather fight it than continue wandering aimlessly in the endless passages.

Following the passage forward for more than ten meters, Jian Qi finally saw a side hall ahead. This side hall was only about twenty square meters, surrounded by huge stone walls. A monster covered in hard steel armor was slowly relaxing its body.

Behind this BOSS, there was a gorgeous weapon rack, on which a long sword was placed diagonally. It emitted a dark golden light, shining brilliantly!

Jian Qi’s eyes lit up, and his face was filled with ecstasy. Unable to restrain himself, he burst into laughter.
