I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1261 - Chapter 1261 Chapter 1263 Entry

Chapter 1261: Chapter 1263: Entry Chapter 1261: Chapter 1263: Entry The Demon Bone Monk came to a small door, a side entrance that Song Jian had also seen before. It appeared to be merely a thin wooden board, but no matter how Song Jian tried, he couldn’t break through it as if some invisible force was protecting it.

There was a keyhole on the wooden door. However, it seemed to be covered by a layer of energy, so even with the Abyss Key, Song Jian couldn’t unlock it.

The Demon Bone Monk approached the small door, extending a finger. What had been a fair finger instantly degenerated into a bone spur, and with it, the Demon Bone Monk stabbed at the lock on the wooden door.

Soon, a “click” was heard from within the door, and the Demon Bone Monk pushed the door open, flinging it back nonchalantly and continued forward, seemingly in a hurry to take care of some urgent matter.

Just as the wooden door was about to close, Song Jian wedged it with the tip of his foot to keep it from shutting. After the Demon Bone Monk had moved away, Song Jian cautiously stepped in.

At that moment, Song Jian was invisible, so even if someone saw the door move, they’d probably think it was just a gust of wind and pay it no mind.

Once inside, Song Jian carefully closed the door behind him and followed the small path to the location of Master Yiwen, as indicated on the mission map.

Where Song Jian was now was a quiet courtyard behind the temple, which looked somewhat desolate as if it hadn’t been tended to in a long time, covered in dried branches and leaves. Even a small pond that had once been there was now dried up, emitting an unpleasant odor.

It was then that two Demon Bone Monks, their grey monk robes stained with blood, suddenly came in, dragging and jostling each other, whispering in a dispute so quietly as if afraid of being overheard by others.

“Hurry up and take it out, there’s no one here…”

“Don’t rush, I’ve already sealed it. The scent is too strong, it might attract other people…”

Their conversation was very quiet. Song Jian hid behind a rock less than five meters away from them, silently waiting for them to leave.

To Song Jian’s surprise, not only did they not leave, but they also headed toward his direction, stopping on the other side of the rock where Song Jian was hiding as if fighting over something.

Both Demon Bone Monks were focused on a cloth bag, completely unaware of Song Jian, who was just a stone’s throw away from them. Song Jian’s gaze also fell on the cloth bag in the hands of the Demon Bone Monks.

The bag, made of the same material as the grey robes of the Demon Bone Monks, was smeared with a dark red fluid, faintly emitting a hint of a bloodlike odor.

One of the Demon Bone Monks opened the bag and pulled out a red, jelly-like substance.

Gulu~

From behind the rock, Song Jian distinctly heard the other Demon Bone Monk swallow saliva.

“Is this flesh tainted with Reincarnation Pool Water? The taste is truly exquisite; I can hardly wait to take a bite!” one Demon Bone Monk said, his voice trembling slightly as he swallowed.

“This is just the first time. There will be plenty more flesh in the future, as long as you…”

The two Demon Bone Monks seemed to have made some sort of deal. However, they soon started to argue over the distribution of the flesh!

“Your access to the Reincarnation Pool is all thanks to me opening the door for you. Why am I only getting thirty percent? This isn’t what we discussed…” one of the Demon Bone Monks hissed angrily.

“You just opened a door. I’m the one bearing all the materials and risks, and furthermore…”

“Impossible, we must divide it as we agreed before…”

“Think about it carefully, if…”

“Go to hell, give me the cloth bag…”

“How could you…”

The two Demon Bone Monks unexpectedly started to claw at each other, both vying for the cloth bag. One of the monks’ eyes blazed with crimson light, seemingly going on a rampage after being deceived.

Before revealing their full skeletal exterior with bone spikes covering their bodies, Demon Bone Monks are indistinguishable from ordinary monks and can communicate normally. However, their emotions and thinking have become utterly alien to normal people. A slight provocation can send them into a murderous frenzy.

The two Demon Bone Monks began shoving each other beside the rocks, battling over the cloth bag. One of them already had bone spikes protruding from his body, indicating he was about to reveal his skeletal state.

Song Jian, watching these two Demon Bone Monks from a close distance, was somewhat speechless. Initially, he thought the monks were merely passing by and decided to wait quietly for them to leave, but to his surprise, they were dividing their spoils here, and even preparing to fight over an uneven split.

The other Demon Bone Monk seemed to grow furious as well, bone spikes emerging one after another from his body, and their argument became increasingly loud, apparently without any concern for their surroundings.

Song Jian slowly stood up, summoning the Sky-breaking Sword in his hand. He couldn’t allow the two Demon Bone Monks to continue quarreling, or else more Demon Bone Monks or even the resentful spirits from before might be attracted.

“Give it to me, I just want my share!”

“Don’t even think about it, at most thirty percent, you’re too greedy…”

“Damn it, I’ll kill you!”

The deceived Demon Bone Monk had reached the limit of his anger, teetering on the edge of complete emotional breakdown.

“What are you going to do!”

The other Demon Bone Monk, though angry, still managed to keep his emotions in check. But when he suddenly felt a rush of air at the back of his neck, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned to look behind him.

Whoosh~

A flash of white light, and one of the Demon Bone Monks’ heads was directly chopped off by Song Jian. The monk whose head was severed still wore a look of surprise on his face, seemingly unaware that he could be stealthily attacked.

The gushing blood from his neck splattered onto the face of the other monk, who was previously beyond angry. His face froze in shock. Noticing Song Jian’s figure slowly becoming visible, his face showed an expression of utter astonishment, his mouth opening as if about to shout a warning.

“Enem…”

Song Jian’s figure suddenly darted towards him like lightning, thrusting the Sky-breaking Sword fiercely into the monk’s chest. A burst of fresh blood sprayed out as the sword pierced through his torso.

At that moment, the monk realized he could no longer control his body, and the loud shout that was supposed to escape was stuck in his throat.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

The Sky-breaking Sword pierced through the Demon Bone Monk’s body like lightning, nine sprays of blood shooting out. Before his body, suspended midair, could hit the ground, Song Jian swiftly pivoted and moved beside him, swinging the Sky-breaking Sword viciously at his neck.

Clang~

The Sky-breaking Sword let out a soft chime as the monk’s body fell heavily to the ground. At the same time, his head rolled away like a ball, Gulu lulu, rolling off into the distance before dropping into the dried-up pool.
