I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1184 - Chapter 1184 Chapter 1186 Defeat_1

Chapter 1184: Chapter 1186 Defeat_1 Chapter 1184: Chapter 1186 Defeat_1 Elder Gu Tutian, like a sharp sword, emitted a strong Sword Intent all over his body. The surging Sword Intent almost solidified, spreading out like waves towards the surroundings.

Song Jian involuntarily stepped back two paces, the piercing Sword Intent instinctively raising his spirit of resistance. His right hand extended, and the Sky-breaking Sword instantly appeared in his palm, which he grasped.

“Elder Gu, I apologize for this!” Song Jian shouted, swiftly swinging the long sword in his hand. Numerous beams of light burst forth. As he brandished it, all the Sword Qi in his body rushed towards the Sky-breaking Sword. In an instant, hundreds of Spirit Swords appeared around him, enveloping Elder Gu as they flew towards him.

Elder Gu’s eyes shone, much like a drunkard who sees an extraordinary wine, and he laughed heartily, “Well done!”

After speaking, Elder Gu didn’t retreat but advanced instead. With a push of his foot, he soared towards the hundreds of Spirit Swords like a great roc.

Clang clang clang~

Wielding an iron rod, Elder Gu conjured up a series of phantoms in front of him. Each phantom collided with a Spirit Sword as if he had thrust out hundreds of swords in an instant.

The numerous Spirit Swords were struck and sent flying away, with Elder Gu enshrouded in a cloud of sword shadows.

A smile appeared on the corner of Song Jian’s mouth. The Sky-breaking Sword possessed its own Sword Spirit; the released Spirit Swords would attack endlessly unless completely destroyed. Even without activating the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, the ceaseless attacks, like facing the assault of hundreds at once, were not something an ordinary person could withstand.

Clang clang clang clang~

The entire hall echoed with the sound of collisions, like a fierce storm. Song Jian’s face involuntarily showed a look of surprise as he softly said, “He can withstand it for so long, and he hasn’t used any techniques. The Elder of Transmission’s strength is truly unfathomable!”

Song Jian had never seen anyone withstand the Thousand Swords Art for so long. However, very quickly, all the Spirit Swords turned into burning lotus leaves, swirling towards Elder Gu like tornados, wrapping him tightly and forming a huge Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation.

“Wow, that’s amazing!” Xin Ling stared, dumbfounded at the slowly spinning Red Lotus Array in the center of the hall. The terrifying aura spread out in waves, making it impossible for anyone to approach.

“Elder Gu, if you can’t hold on, just shout, and I will dispel the Sword Formation!” Song Jian shouted loudly. At this time, the Sword Formation wasn’t fully closed, and Elder Gu could still hear Song Jian’s voice. After a while, once the Sword Formation was fully formed, Song Jian could only rely on sensing Elder Gu’s life force to tell if he was still alive.

“Hahahaha, young fellow, you know nothing about swordsmanship!” Elder Gu’s robust voice came from inside the Sword Formation, filled with disdain and contempt for it.

A mocking smile appeared on Song Jian’s face. Although Elder Gu was very strong, Song Jian didn’t think that he could withstand the power of the Thousand Swords Art.

Ding ding ding ding~

Another series of collision sounds arose within the Sword Formation.

“It’s futile!” Song Jian thought to himself. And just then, a dazzling silver beam of Sword Qi suddenly shot through the layers of burning lotus leaves, looking like a pillar of light emerging from the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Song Jian was taken aback, having never seen such a sight;

Swish~

Another silver beam shot out from the Red Lotus, and Song Jian suddenly felt the entire Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation start to shake violently, as if it would collapse the next moment.

“How, how could this be?” Song Jian was greatly alarmed. In the blink of an eye, countless silver Sword Qi erupted from the Red Lotus Sword Array, dismantling the entire formation into nothingness.

A figure slowly emerged from the sky filled with silver sword light. After a long time, the sword light faded, and Elder Gu held a bright red iron rod in his right hand with his left hand behind his back, his expression indifferent.

“He actually, he really destroyed the Sword Formation!” Song Jian was immensely shocked. One must know that even King Level BOSSes couldn’t break free from a Sword Formation once it was fully formed, yet the Elder of Transmission in front of him had effortlessly shattered the entire formation!

“Weak foundations, no, it’s more like there are no foundations at all!” Elder Gu looked at Song Jian, slowly shaking his head. “All your skills are like a castle in the sky, seemingly spectacular and dazzling, but in reality, they can be easily shattered at any moment…”

At this moment, Song Jian’s mind was blank. He had not heard a word of what Elder Gu had said. His ears were buzzing, and he felt as if he had become senseless.

The Thousand Swords Art had been so easily broken?

Bang!

Song Jian suddenly felt a great force coming at him, sending him flying backward to crash heavily against a stone pillar in the hall. Gu Tutian withdrew his fist and snorted coldly at Song Jian.

Splat!

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out. Song Jian felt a sharp pain all over his body!

Looking up, he met Gu Tutian’s disdainful gaze. Gu Tutian sat down cross-legged directly on the floor of the hall.

“The sword is the leader among all weapons, and the Way of the Sword is the way of leadership…” Gu Tutian’s voice was loud and resonant, echoing like a large bell throughout the hall.

Struggling to his feet, Song Jian staggered towards Gu Tutian. Like Xin Ling, he sat cross-legged in front of Gu Tutian, took a deep breath, and listened intently to every word of Gu Tutian’s explanation.

The violent disruption of the Thousand Swords Art was like a bucket of cold water poured over Song Jian, thoroughly dousing his inflated ego from his time in the Sword Spirit Pool. His conceitedness disappeared, and he became completely calm.

In the Sword Spirit Pool, Song Jian had spent all fifteen skill points, elevating his Withering and Flourishing Azure Dragon Sword Body to the twelfth level MAX, enhancing all of its effects. He also acquired the skill of Growth Power. As opposed to Withering Power, Growth Power was an entirely beneficial effect that could be used on oneself and allies.

Song Jian used the remaining five skill points entirely on the Sword Shadow Clone. Now, he only needed to expend 30% of his Sword Qi Value to create a clone identical to himself, with its attributes increased by 110%. The skill ceiling had also reached level eight, and in terms of strength, this Sword Shadow Clone already possessed over 80% of Song Jian’s own power.

With a huge increase in strength, Song Jian’s confidence had inflated tremendously, even giving him the impulse to take on King Level BOSSes alone.

Perhaps seeing Song Jian’s inflated state, Elder Gu had taught Song Jian a lesson with just an iron rod, making him sit peacefully in front of him and listen attentively to the basic principles of the Sword Path.

One day later, two figures flew out from the peak of the Imperial Sword Sect’s Sect Leader and headed towards the Ancient Desolate Abyss. Song Jian and Xin Ling had officially embarked on their quest to complete the legendary mission.
