Chapter 1025 - Chapter 1025 Chapter 1027 Sword Qi Stone Tower_1

Chapter 1025: Chapter 1027: Sword Qi Stone Tower_1 Chapter 1025: Chapter 1027: Sword Qi Stone Tower_1 “You can’t kill me!” Sosmia felt the Sword Qi growing thicker and let out a low growl as he looked at the rolling red Sword Qi surrounding him.

The dense white bones, divided into three layers, completely enveloped Sosmia as if they were three sturdy shields. Each bone exuded a rich aura of the undead, making them stronger than so-called magic iron. This was Sosmia’s most defensively powerful necromantic spell.

The Red Lotus Sword Formation slowly closed, and a long sword was forged in the sky, slashing down through the confluence of red lotuses. The piercing sound of cutting through the air only exploded after the sword entered the red lotuses, echoing over the skyline of the City of Hope.

After the long sword slashed down, it slowly faded away along with the Red Lotus Sword Formation, leaving behind a disheveled Sosmia in a sorry state.

By then, all that was left around Sosmia was Bone Powder. The seven or eight ten-meter-tall skeletal guards, which had been transformed into bone defenses, were annihilated by the slash, all ground into dust.

Even Sosmia’s robe was split in two, revealing his desiccated body.

Sosmia had long become an undead creature, with no flesh and blood left, only a layer of tough skin wrapping his iron-like bones.

However, at this moment, Sosmia had a huge wound running from his left shoulder to his right waist, almost cleaving him in half. From the wound, one could even see several smooth, pitch-black broken bones. If he were a regular human, such a wound would surely have been fatal or, at the very least, seriously debilitating, rendering one unable to move. Without immediate treatment, the only outcome would be death by blood loss.

However, Sosmia’s crimson eyes shone with a brilliant light, and his face bore a madly arrogant expression as he laughed loudly. His hoarse voice could be heard clearly even hundreds of meters away, on the city walls.

“Hehehe, hehehehe, hahahaha!”

“I’ve withstood it, I’m not dead, such a skill could never kill me, hahahaha!”

In that final moment, as the long sword destroyed all the bones around his body, Sosmia had begun to despair. He had already died once and knew the terror of death intimately. As an undead creature, another death would mean complete annihilation, even his soul imprint would vanish without a trace.

“Humans, you can’t kill me!” A fiendish smile spread across Sosmia’s face as he stared at Song Jian and growled in a low voice, “I will spread a devastating plague throughout your city. Soon, not a single living person will remain in this City of Hope, all will become my undead minions. And you, you…”

Just then, Sosmia suddenly noticed something strange–he realized he was enveloped in a vast shadow, as if there were something huge above him…

Damn it!

When Sosmia looked up, he nearly lost his soul in fright. There was a gigantic hand with a diameter of dozens of meters forming above him, continually gathering together.

Streams of Sword Qi interlaced within this palm, merging into it, and the lines on the palm were as distinct as if they belonged to the hand of a deity!

“Damn it, how can this be!” Sosmia didn’t even know when the opponent had cast this skill and put all his effort into trying to resist.

Boom~

A cloud of smoke exploded, and dozens of black smoke streams shot out like arrows in all directions. This was Sosmia’s ace black magic, similar to a disintegration spell. It required unleashing all of his undead power, and even after using it, he would be weakened for three days.

But this spell’s power was immense. Any creature touched by these black smoke streams would be tainted with the undead aura. Even a spot no larger than a fingernail would be continuously eroded by the undead aura. Over time, the subject would eventually turn into an undead creature, with no cure available.

Moreover, the most terrifying aspect was that even if you cut away the flesh tainted with the undead aura, it wouldn’t remove the corruption. The undead aura infected the soul, not the flesh – the flesh was merely a manifestation.

Sosmia had once used this tactic, turning an entire thousand-man squad of human knights into undead creatures, and was for a time wanted by human cities.

However, his purpose in using this tactic at the moment was not to harm others, but to flee. His core consciousness was hidden within one of those dozens of black smoke trails. As long as he could escape the area covered by the Sword Qi palm imprint, he would survive!

Yet, what terrified Sosmia was that the dozens of black smoke trails could only scurry within the area overshadowed by the palm imprint, utterly unable to escape. It was as if there was an invisible barrier segregating the region where he was.

Boom~

With a loud bang, the palm fiercely struck down, sinking the ground several feet. A gigantic palm imprint crushed all the buildings on a street outside the City Lord Mansion into powder, causing the corners of Song Jian’s mouth to involuntarily twitch twice.

The power of the Thousand Swords Art was immense, causing great disturbance and even greater destruction. The loss of just this one street’s buildings was probably already over ten million Doomsday Coins!

The Sword Qi palm imprint slowly dissipated, revealing a gigantic imprint on the street, with the surrounding flagstones all shattered and the soil compacted as hard as rock.

In the very center of the imprint, a figure-shaped stain was etched into the hardened soil, as if it were a birthmark.

“Not dead yet?” Song Jian’s brows furrowed slightly. He had surmounted thirty levels to kill his opponent, yet there wasn’t a hint of an increase in Experience Points?

Even a supreme-level BOSS would not survive under the Sword Qi Palm Imprint of the Thousand Swords Art, but since Sosmia was thirty levels above Song Jian, the damage from the Thousand Swords Art, despite the enhancement from the Sword Qi manifestation skill, would be somewhat weakened due to the level suppression.

All of Sosmia’s bones were pulverized, his body long eroded by the power of the undead and harder than demonic iron, but now it lay in ruins. Sosmia, having sustained grievous injuries on top of casting a disintegration-style dark spell, was now merely a hair’s breadth away from complete death.

A wisp of black soul drifted up from what was left of Sosmia’s completely shattered body. As a Necromancer, he had long ceased requiring a body to exist. Sosmia, now similar to a ghostly specter, had greatly diminished in strength.

Nonetheless, he was one of the few Song Jian had seen who could survive the Sword Qi Palm Imprint, which even earned Song Jian’s admiration.

“You are quite strong, it’s a shame!” Song Jian said, shaking his head regretfully as he stared at Sosmia.

“Do you think you have defeated me?” Sosmia, now a specter, glared fiercely at Song Jian, wishing he could tear his opponent to pieces. This attempt to steal had failed disastrously, not only failing to gain a shard of divinity but also suffering severe injuries. He had intended to pass the Fourth Tier combat power assessment, but now, he had lost that chance!

The irritation in Sosmia’s heart was beyond words, but he also knew that with his heavy injuries, he was no match for Song Jian, after all, it had only taken his opponent one move to critically wound him.

Just as he prepared to flee, another shadow appeared overhead, plunging him immediately into despair as he tremulously looked up.

Above him, a massive Sword Qi Stone Tower was continuously emanating endless Sword Qi in all directions.

The fourth stage of the Thousand Swords Art, the Sword Qi Stone Tower!

“No!” Sosmia let out a despairing scream, no longer able to escape, he could only watch helplessly as the Stone Tower descended from the skies, bearing down upon him.
