I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1042 - Chapter 1042 Chapter 1044 Profanity_1

Chapter 1042: Chapter 1044: Profanity_1 Chapter 1042: Chapter 1044: Profanity_1 Song Jian stared at the man who sat up from the bronze coffin; he had already carefully sensed before that the man truly had no signs of life, otherwise, Song Jian wouldn’t have possibly approached to take the golden scroll from his hands.

But now, the man seemed to have been resurrected, sitting up straight, which gave Song Jian quite a shock.

“The golden book does not belong to the Valen Empire. Anyone who can enter here is free to take it!” The man held a scepter and slowly stood up from the bronze coffin. A surging presence burst forth from him, spreading out wave by wave like the vast ocean.

“However, this scepter belongs only to the monarch of the Valen Empire, representing the authority of the Valen Empire!” The man stared at Song Jian and spoke in a low voice, “Human, do you intend to covet the authority of the Valen Empire?”

“Sorry, it’s just an item for my quest!” Song Jian shrugged indifferently and said, “I need that scepter to follow the path I’ve always been pursuing. I’d be very grateful if you gave it to me, but if you’re not willing, then I’ll have no choice but to take it myself…”

“Damnation!” The man’s face filled with rage as he spoke, “This is blasphemy! You shall be cursed by the entire Valen Empire. Thousands of Valen Empire warriors will slaughter your kin, friends, and everyone you know as punishment, and you yourself will forever languish in a fiery inferno…”

“Valen Empire? Sorry, I’ve never heard of any Valen Empire…” sighed Song Jian, gripping the Sky-breaking Sword in his hand as he spoke.

“What?” The man’s voice faltered as if something occurred to him, and his expression instantly turned ugly, “You liar, the Valen Empire has existed for three thousand four hundred years, with territory spanning thousands of square kilometers. To walk from one end to the other would take a lifetime…”

Thousand Swords Art!

Song Jian, not bothering to listen to the man’s rambling, swung the Sky-breaking Sword and unleashed the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art!

A sky full of Spirit Swords instantly engulfed the man standing in the bronze coffin, with sounds of explosions continuing nonstop.

“Blasphemy! How dare you disrespect a great king…” Amidst the sound of explosions, the man’s angry roar was heard as a pale blue light shone from the center of the Thousand Swords Art, and a powerful energy surged outwards in all directions.

Clang clang clang~

A series of snapping sounds echoed, and a look of surprise appeared on Song Jian’s face. He actually saw countless Spirit Swords being directly snapped in half by the force of the energy.

One should know that these Spirit Swords had no physical form; they were energy bodies formed from concentrated Sword Qi. How could they possibly break like real metal swords?

The sight before him even caused a moment of blankness in Song Jian’s mind!

“Evil be gone!” A high-pitched shout rang out, and a strong energy rushed toward Song Jian, who quickly dodged to the side.

The energy was like a sharp blade, slicing open a deep fissure in the earth, and it split the large door behind Song Jian in two. A series of rumbling collapse sounds also echoed from the corridor behind.

Looking forward, the man standing in the bronze coffin was now covered in a layer of pale golden armor, with a long crimson robe fluttering in the wind. From the tip of the scepter in his hand extended a blade about three feet long, transforming what was originally an ornamental staff into a divine weapon.

At this time, his attributes slowly appeared above his head.

“Defir the Seventh, Level 59, King Level Boss, Vitality Points: 9800000/9800000”

A look of horror appeared on Song Jian’s face. This Defir the Seventh turned out to be a King Level Boss, with a whopping Vitality Points of nine million eight hundred thousand.

Such a terrifying creature, it was feared that even in three more years in the game, there might not be a team that could kill it!

Originally, the epic quest given to him by his mentor Duan Jian was merely to obtain the golden book. The monsters within the castle and the difficulty of entering the castle were indeed epic levels of challenge for an average player. However, now, because of the extra requirement from the quest of the Sword Immortal’s path to acquire the other party’s scepter, the difficulty of this quest skyrocketed to nightmare level.

King Level BOSS, in an era where even same-level Lord Level BOSS battles were tough, players probably hadn’t even heard of them.

Song Jian swallowed hard, always confident in his Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art, but the moment he saw the enemy’s attributes, he felt an urge to turn around and flee.

Nearly ten million Vitality Points. Song Jian didn’t know whether going all out with the Thousand Swords Art would be able to repel the enemy. Just by looking at how the enemy had cut through the Spirit Sword before, he guessed that the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation would probably be of limited use against it.

Emperor Defirk VII jumped out of the bronze coffin, swinging his longsword at Song Jian. The enemy’s speed was extremely fast and his swordsmanship was skilled. Song Jian could only grit his teeth and engage in battle, and in a short time, he was suppressed, with hardly any power to fight back.

Mysterious Moonlight Sword!

Song Jian’s figure twisted and turned, thrusting the Sky-breaking Sword at an odd angle toward Emperor Defirk VII’s ribs. This move, mingled among ordinary techniques, was difficult to anticipate. Song Jian had previously devised this small trick to prevent the enemy from blocking this strike.

Crack~

A light sound, the Sky-breaking Sword pierced Emperor Defirk VII’s left waist. Before Song Jian’s face could form a smile, the enemy’s pale golden armor suddenly revealed a semi-transparent light screen, rippling like water waves.

Song Jian immediately received a system notification about the skill’s release failure!

“Damn it,” Song Jian cursed under his breath. The enemy’s armor actually had an ability to resist skill effects, a trait not commonly seen, only found on top-notch equipment.

“Accept your punishment, enemy of the Valen Empire!” Emperor Defirk VII roared as he swung his longsword down at Song Jian.

“Boom!”

A brilliant burst of Qi energy exploded. Song Jian was unable to dodge in time and could only tilt his head to one side. His shoulder was instantly torn open by a huge wound, the flesh mangled. The Dark Gold Quality chestplate of his Ancestral Emperor Ant Suit was like thin paper, torn apart on impact.

Song Jian’s face instantly turned pale. He lifted the Sky-breaking Sword to collide with the enemy’s longsword, creating a thunderous explosion.

With his left shoulder injured, his entire arm hung limply by his side, useless. Song Jian already harbored thoughts of retreat, but Emperor Defirk VII relentlessly pressed on, determined to slay Song Jian before giving up.

After dozens more exchanges, Song Jian fought while retreating, now within the corridor. The rock walls on both sides continuously shattered from the energy of their battle, palm-sized stones flying through the corridor like bullets.

Bang!

Song Jian suddenly extended his right leg, kicking fiercely toward Emperor Defirk VII’s lower body, using the “Kick” skill he’d mastered before, even though the skill had been absorbed by the Thousand Swords Art. But the method of release was something Song Jian remembered; even though the kick lacked the effect of the “Kick” skill, it was just a normal strike, enough to change Emperor Defirk VII’s expression and involuntarily make him stagger back a couple of steps.

Just as Emperor Defirk VII, with a furious expression, lunged forward, Song Jian finally took the opportunity to catch his breath, channeling all Sword Qi into the Sky-breaking Sword.

Karmic Fire Red Lotus, Thousand Swords Art!

With a light cry, Song Jian brandished the Sky-breaking Sword, viciously striking forth!
