I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1039 - Chapter 1039 Chapter 1041 Baron of the Blood Clan_1

Chapter 1039: Chapter 1041: Baron of the Blood Clan_1 Chapter 1039: Chapter 1041: Baron of the Blood Clan_1 Withering Power was unleashed, greatly reducing the bear man’s speed. It was only then that Song Jian leisurely swung the Sky-breaking Sword, executing the Thousand Swords Art skill.

In an instant, the entire space was covered by densely packed Spirit Swords, burning with dark red flames. Sensing the threat of death, the bear man’s neck fur instantly stood on end as it let out a roar and turned to flee.

However, with its speed greatly reduced, whether it was attacking or fleeing, it had lost its former agility. Over three hundred Spirit Swords, like sharks smelling blood, flew towards the bear man, continuously slashing at its body, erupting with roaring blasts.

The bear man howled in rage, its huge palms flailing wildly in the air, repeatedly striking the Spirit Swords around it, causing sparks to scatter. To Song Jian’s surprise, some of the originally translucent Spirit Swords were actually destroyed by the bear man’s shrikes, which shocked him.

Although it destroyed a few Spirit Swords, the remaining number was too great to make any difference. The bear man’s Vitality Points plunged by nearly five hundred thousand in an instant, with a dense flurry of damage numbers floating above its head, varying in color, almost forming a continuous stream.

This Overlord-level BOSS, which generally would require the coordinated efforts of dozens of players over level fifty to potentially kill, was now vigorously engaged in combat by Song Jian alone.

Once the Thousand Swords Art was employed, no matter how formidable the BOSS, they couldn’t escape the bounds of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation and could only watch helplessly as their Vitality Points rapidly decreased amidst the Red Lotus Karma Fire that filled the sky.

The Brook Bearman BOSS was no exception, caught in the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, it could do nothing but emit painful and helpless roars.

Eventually, the Sword Qi Stone Tower appeared, pressing directly down on the bear man. After Song Jian chose to absorb it, a weak bear man soul was sucked into the Sword Qi Stone Tower and a countdown of over five hours appeared in front of Song Jian.

“Phew,” Song Jian exhaled deeply. The bear man BOSS’s attacks could rank among the top three of all the Overlord-level BOSSes he had encountered. Observing its massive size paired with surprisingly nimble, storm-like assaults, an ordinary Shield Warrior would likely be overwhelmed and quickly defeated.

“What a pity that although absorbing Sword Qi can improve proficiency in the Thousand Swords Art, it prevents loot from dropping…” This was the only thing that dismayed Song Jian, knowing that this over level fifty Overlord-level BOSS had a high probability of dropping epic items.

Just as Song Jian sat down to recover his Vitality and Mental Strength as well as his Sword Qi Value, he suddenly received a message from Wang Qi. A few NPCs from the City of Oracles had appeared in the City of Hope, wanting to build a Tower of the Gods there. In exchange, the City of Oracles would ally with the City of Hope, and when the City of Hope was under attack, the City of Oracles could access the powers of the Tower of the Gods to provide assistance.

“I need to think about this. Is there anything else they want?” Song Jian asked through the communicator.

“After they left the City Lord Mansion, they didn’t leave immediately but wandered around the city, chatting with many NPCs that have settled here, and it looks like they might have some quest…” Wang Qi hesitated.

“Have someone keep an eye on them; I always feel their intentions are not good. Also, make contact with the City of Sin, and ask them about what this Tower of the Gods is for,” Song Jian instructed.

He knew too little information at the moment, having never encountered many things before, he was completely unaware of the purpose of this so-called Tower of the Gods and whether it would be beneficial or harmful to the City of Hope.

And as an emissary of a city, he should also treat this matter cautiously.

“The City of Oracles, that is a large city that is more than a thousand kilometers away from the City of Hope. Why would they set their sights on a newly established city like the City of Hope?” Song Jian wondered inwardly.

However, he wouldn’t make any decisions until he got the information about the Tower of the Gods from the City of Sin. Although he was the lord of the City of Hope, it now housed over thirty thousand players and about a hundred thousand NPCs, and any decision he made would affect the lives of these people. He had to proceed with caution.

After recovering in the castle, Song Jian continued to explore deeper into the fortress. Although there were few monsters in the castle, those he encountered were Overlord-level BOSSes, which caused him some headaches.

The Thousand Swords Art was too noisy; the previous dining room was already devastated. Song Jian was worried that if he executed the Thousand Swords Art a few more times, the entire castle might suffer tremendous damage.

“The bronze coffin, I wonder what relationship this monarch lying in the bronze coffin has with this fortress, and how he came to be buried in this place…” Song Jian thought to himself, “Most importantly, why would there be information about the Sword Immortal profession set on the king’s body!”

All of this was like a fog, and Song Jian knew he had to come into contact with the bronze coffin to find a clue.

At that moment, Song Jian suddenly heard a strange sound near his ear.

Thump, thump, thump…

It was as if the sound came from a beating heart, making Song Jian somewhat restless. Unknowingly, he found his own heartbeat slowly synchronizing with the sound in his ears.

Thump!

With another severe beat, Song Jian suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood; his Vitality Points instantly dropped by more than a thousand.

Song Jian was startled. It was then that he realized he had been attacked, a monster had set its eyes on him. However, he was currently in a corridor with solid rock walls on both sides and had not seen any trace of a creature.

Thump, thump, thump~

The sound of the heartbeat seemed to be getting faster, which caused Song Jian’s own heart to beat rapidly, involuntarily.

Vertical eye!

A Vertical eye opened on Song Jian’s forehead, and pale golden light burst forth, instantly illuminating the dim surroundings. Then, a huge dark shadow, perched on the ceiling of the corridor where Song Jian was, with a pair of greedy eyes, stared fixedly at him.

“What in the world is that thing!” Song Jian immediately became alert, gripping the Sky-breaking Sword tightly as he focused on the huge black shadow.

Whoosh~

The mass of black shadow disintegrated, turning into countless bat-sized bats that flew towards Song Jian;

These bats landed on the ground and reconstituted into a humanoid creature in a blood-red dress, slim in stature, pale in complexion, with two sharp fangs poking out from its lips.

“The Blood Clan?” Song Jian narrowed his eyes. This creature was one of the most troublesome monsters he had encountered. It moved swiftly, could fight and withstand attacks, and had astonishing recuperative powers, as well as a very strong vindictive spirit. In the eyes of these creatures, humans were nothing more than food, a mobile blood bank, and they regarded humans with contempt from the bottom of their hearts.

“This is not a place for you to come, human!” The Blood Clan male across from him showed a cruel smile, lightly caressing his lips with his fingers.

“Another mutated monster, Baron Dracula, status unknown, power of a Dominant level BOSS, Vitality Points one million three hundred thousand!” Song Jian’s expression darkened slightly. The creature in front of him was even higher in level than the Bear-men he had encountered before, over ten levels above Song Jian, and while he couldn’t see the opponent’s level and the Vitality Points were somewhat lacking, Song Jian sensed a threat even more terrifying than the Bear-men emanating from it.
