I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1238 - Chapter 1238 Chapter 1240 Damage

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1240: Damage Chapter 1238: Chapter 1240: Damage At this moment, the golden giant had a sword wound from beneath its left rib, extending all the way down to its left knee, almost slicing the entire left leg in two.

Deep enough to reveal bone, the wound constantly gushed golden runes, which, like blood, streamed down the giant’s left leg onto the ground, spreading outwards.

With the left leg injured, it meant that the golden giant had lost its ability to move quickly. For Song Jian, this was definitely good news. After all, the movement speed of the golden giant was hardly slower than Song Jian’s Sword Flight Art, and when it ran, it could even overtake Song Jian’s flying speed!

The golden giant roared incessantly, as countless golden runes burst from within its body, covering the wound in an attempt to heal the damage to its left leg. But the fierce Sword Qi lingering at the wound continuously shattered the incoming golden runes, preventing the injury on the giant’s left leg from healing.

“I originally thought that the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword would at most cause some minor injuries to the golden giant, but I didn’t expect… Heh!” A gleeful expression appeared on Song Jian’s face, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword had given him a pleasant surprise!

While the golden giant bellowed in rage, a huge palm shadow, encompassing hundreds of yards above its head, suddenly appeared. Numerous Sword Qi converged towards this ethereal palm, making it increasingly more substantial.

Song Jian’s brows furrowed slightly. He could feel the Sword Qi within his body draining away like a burst dam, flowing into the unknown.

Normally, once the Thousand Swords Art’s Sword Formation took shape, it was almost detached from Song Jian and wouldn’t consume his Sword Qi. But now, not only was the gathering speed of the Sword Qi palm imprint above his head extremely slow, but it also started to consume the Sword Qi within Song Jian’s body, which he had hard-earned back to two-thirds. This left Song Jian feeling rather stunned!

“Could it be because this Sword Qi palm imprint is especially gigantic?” Song Jian thought to himself as he looked up at the shadow overhead.

After all, the Sword Qi palm imprint that had formed now covered an area of hundreds of yards, which was hundreds of times larger than the previous Sword Qi palm imprints, corresponding to a consumption also hundreds of times greater!

Boom…

The golden giant seemed to sense an even greater crisis and controlled the thunderclouds above its head to keep moving towards the Sword Qi palm imprint. Purple Zixiao Tribulation Thunder bolts, astonishingly, flew upwards, striking against the Sword Qi palm imprint in the sky.

Against the hundreds of yards wide Sword Qi palm imprint, these bolts of Purple Zixiao Tribulation Thunder could only leave behind black spots, which disappeared in the blink of an eye, seemingly almost ineffective.

The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, which could grievously wound Song Jian with a single strike, was so much suppressed within the might of the Thousand Swords Art’s Sword Formation that it was barely more effective than ordinary thunder.

Seeing that the thunderclouds seemed to have no effect on the Sword Qi palm imprint, the golden giant howled in fury and hurled the Thunderbolt Sword in its hand, stabbing towards the center of the Sword Qi palm imprint.

Boom–

With a thunderous noise, the Thunderbolt Sword actually pierced a hole with a diameter of several tens of meters in the center of the Sword Qi palm imprint’s palm, completely penetrating it, allowing one to see the sky on the other side.

This instantly tightened Song Jian’s heart, as no one had ever caused such severe damage to the Sword Qi palm imprint. It seemed as if the Sword Qi palm imprint was about to disperse any moment.

However, Song Jian quickly reassured himself as the Sword Qi continued to gather, slowly restoring the several tens of meters wide hole in the palm. This caused the golden giant immense frustration, its powerful strike merely briefly halted the congealing of the Sword Qi palm imprint, failing to yield any additional effect.

Feeling the threat, the golden giant’s eyes started to whirl rapidly, sensing the danger of destruction. Hesitating for a moment, it surprisingly turned around and began to flee toward the distant mountain range.

A trace of a smile emerged at the corner of Song Jian’s mouth. This was probably the most glorious moment for a disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect in history, making the top three ranked secret realm Guardians take the initiative to flee. Nobody would believe it if it were told!

However, just as the golden giant took two steps back, the Sword Qi hand above its head also seemed to sense the golden giant’s attempt to escape, and the concentration of Sword Qi suddenly accelerated a lot.

Song Jian’s Sword Qi Value had already recovered by two-thirds, but in a “whoosh,” it plummeted to the lowest point, and at the same time, his Mental Strength also started to drop rapidly as if something was desperately draining all the energy from his body.

When his Spirit Points fell to half, his Vitality Points also began to decline, which startled Song Jian greatly. He hurriedly groped out a handful of potions from his inventory that instantly restored Vitality Points and Spirit Points, and shoved them into his mouth!

In less than five seconds, the Sword Qi palm had already congealed into a giant, real hand, with even the palm lines clearly visible!

“Boom!”

It was like the crash of hundreds of airplanes, a deep thunderous sound tearing through the earth, as the Sword Qi Palm Imprint brutally smashed down onto the top of the golden giant’s head!

The enormous palm imprint first scattered the clouds of thunder above the head of the golden giant as if piercing through a thin paper, without the clouds even able to hinder the palm imprint momentarily, dispersing instantly and slowly fading away in the sky after a loud boom!

Next, the Sword Qi palm forcefully struck the golden giant’s back, pinning it to the ground!

With that strike, a damage figure of several million points floated up from the ground, but there wasn’t the slightest expression of joy on Song Jian’s face, rather, it turned more solemn.

For a sovereign BOSS, several million points of damage would be a severe injury, and some of those with lower Vitality Points might be driven straight into a dying state.

But for a secret realm Guardian like the golden giant, several million points of damage was just a more severe attack that was not life-threatening.

Sure enough, as the Sword Qi Palm Imprint slowly dissipated, the golden giant got up from the ground once more. Its spine and the back of its neck had suffered severe injuries. Had it been a living creature, it definitely couldn’t have stood again with such grave wounds. However, what constructed the golden giant was an array, and as long as the core wasn’t destroyed, the array would only have its effects weakened slightly, rather than collapsing entirely.

Seeing the entirety of the golden giant’s back covered with golden runes, a look of dismay appeared on Song Jian’s face, “It seems that the array eyes constructing the golden giant’s array are not located in the back of the head or the spine!”

Breaking an array completely requires finding the array’s core, and only by destroying the core will the entire array collapse!

As the golden giant roared and stood up again, a huge sword Qi Stone Tower phantom slowly emerged above the head of the golden giant!

Seeing the towering phantom of the Sword Qi Stone Tower hundreds of feet high, Song Jian’s face turned pale, and without any hesitation, he unleashed the Withering and Flourishing Azure Dragon Sword Body!
