I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1364 - Chapter 1364 Chapter 1366 Instant Kill

Chapter 1364: Chapter 1366: Instant Kill Chapter 1364: Chapter 1366: Instant Kill The mutated terror wolf’s strength exceeded Song Jian’s expectations. On the other side, a mutated beast not weaker than the mutated terror wolf was also slowly awakening. By its side, there were four or five life-sustaining capsules, and the humanoid beasts inside seemed to be startled awake by the noise of the battle, slowly beginning to recover.

“The space here is too cramped. If I use the Thousand Swords Art, I might damage the surrounding equipment, and if the meteorite fragments are affected, the main mission might be compromised!” Song Jian thought to himself.

It was only then that he realized his means of attack were somewhat too simplistic. Relying solely on the Thousand Swords Art in regular battles, he could hold his own against even the most formidable bosses, and defeating higher-level adversaries was not out of the question, but once the environment was restricted, the devastating aftermath of the Thousand Swords Art’s destructive power was revealed.

Besides the risk of damaging the surrounding equipment and potentially affecting the meteorite fragments, this underground base was buried deep underground, and if the commotion was too great, a collapse could occur, and Song Jian, no matter how many Vitality Points he had, would suffocate, directly exiting the Assessment World.

Bang!

A crashing sound rang out. Song Jian turned his head to see the humanoid beast with a crocodile’s head beside him punch a huge hole in the life-sustaining capsule, dragging out the nutrition tubes sustaining its life. It seemed it would not be long before it emerged.

“Another peak sovereign…” Song Jian silently noted.

For some reason, the peak sovereign beasts before him possessed strength that could almost rival that of early-stage bosses in the Legendary Realm. Not using the Thousand Swords Art to kill them proved to be no easy task.

With that thought, a strand of gray Sword Qi started to emerge within Song Jian’s dantian. The moment this gray Sword Qi appeared, the other pale gold Invisible Sword Qi was repelled, as if oil and water were unable to mix.

A pained expression crossed Song Jian’s face as he struggled to control this strand of gray Chaos Sword Qi.

Chaos Sword Canon, Opening Heaven!

Song Jian let out a low shout, and his Sky-breaking Sword burst forth with a dazzling gray light. The blade trembled continuously as though it would shatter at any moment.

The mutated terror wolf beast, which had already leaped into the air, showed a hint of fear in its eyes. It seemed to sense something; a beast’s intuition smelled the scent of death.

Roar~

With a fierce roar, a scarlet light appeared in the eyes of the mutated terror wolf beast. On its vicious face, black qi darted about, condensing into strange runes beneath the skin of its cheeks.

An ancient and simple Sword Qi Stone Axe appeared in front of Song Jian, who put all his effort into swinging the Sky-breaking Sword, hoping to send forth the stone axe’s Sword Qi. But the axe seemed to be frozen in mid-air, immovable.

Usually, the Sword Qi Stone Axes Song Jian wielded were driven by the power of the Thousand Swords Art’s Sword Formation. Now, directly controlling the Chaos Sword Qi to execute the Opening Heaven Style felt like trying to tow a heavy cart with a little horse; the struggle was palpable.

The mutated terror wolf beast was now less than three meters away from him. Its claws, as sharp as metal, emitted a fierce qi as though it wanted to tear Song Jian apart with one swipe.

In his desperation, Song Jian could only wield Invisible Sword Qi to execute the Thousand Swords Art. In an instant, countless Spirit Swords appeared around him, and as these swords emerged, they flew toward the immobile stone axe’s Sword Qi in the air like birds flocking to their nest.

Hundreds of Spirit Swords merged into the stone axe, and the vigorous aura of the axe became even deeper and more profound. Song Jian felt a slight loosening coming from it.

Kill!

Delighted, Song Jian let out a thunderous shout and swung the Sky-breaking Sword in his hand hard at the Mutated Dire Wolf Beast.

The stone axe in midair emitted a deep whooshing sound, its oppressive force causing cracks to form on the ground’s stone slabs, creating a trench over a foot deep that extended forward as the axe chopped towards the Mutated Dire Wolf Beast. Anything in its way, regardless of what it was, was crushed into fine powder.

Boom!

The Sword Qi from the axe moved incredibly fast. The Mutated Dire Wolf Beast in midair was locked on, its only option to retract its claws in front of its chest. After a thunderous roar, the metallically lustrous claws exploded like a burst of fine sand. The Sword Qi axe struck the beast’s chest fiercely, hurling it away.

Watching the Sword Qi from the axe pass through the chest of the Mutated Dire Wolf Beast and disappear, Song Jian immediately heard a system notification indicating a successful kill.

System: You have killed the Mutated Dire Wolf Beast (Special). Battle assessment has been further improved!

In the Assessment World, killing monsters does not yield combat experience. However, slaying specific creatures, like mutated beasts, can improve one’s battle assessment. Further improvements can be made by obtaining special mutated organs or tissues from the beasts!

“Insta-kill?” Song Jian was somewhat surprised. After all, the Mutated Dire Wolf Beast was a Domination-level boss, no weaker than the early Legendary Realm. Even the evolution of the Thousand Swords Art needed to reach the level of the Sword Qi Stone Tower to subdue a Domination-level boss. Yet now, he had killed a boss with millions of Vitality Points in one move, giving Song Jian an uncanny feeling!

From afar, the body of the Mutated Dire Wolf Beast crashed into a damaged Life-sustaining Capsule. A massive wound appeared on its chest, and the flesh around the wound began to crumble, spurting blood continuously. Its body, too, began to disintegrate into fine sand, scattering all around in short order.

Amid the pile of sand, an item emanating Dark Gold light glittered invitingly.

Song Jian did not walk towards the corpse of the Mutated Dire Wolf Beast but turned his attention to another mutated beast that had just emerged from a Life-sustaining Capsule.

This creature, clad in thick scales resembling a giant humanoid crocodile, had Dark Gold vertical pupils that shifted back and forth between Song Jian and the corpse of the Mutated Dire Wolf Beast. The faint red glow in its eyes gradually vanished, replaced by an expression of terror.

With a low growl, the beast madly dashed toward the other side of the lab. Soon, it vanished around the corner of a corridor, as if aware that it was the route to an escape passage.

“Scared off…” Song Jian was dumbfounded. This beast, which had just emerged from the Life-sustaining Capsule, was not weaker than the Mutated Dire Wolf, also possessing peak Domination-level strength. He hadn’t expected that it would be frightened away by his move, “Opening Heaven.”

But at that moment, Song Jian was more show than substance. Not only had he exhausted most of his Invisible Sword Qi, but the slight Chaos Sword Qi, upon activation, had also left his body terribly damaged. The meridian running from his dantian to his arm was like shattered glass, riddled with cracks. Should he forcefully wield the Opening Heaven move again, it was likely that Song Jian’s body would collapse first.

“Too bad, otherwise the battle assessment could have been improved further…” Song Jian thought to himself as he walked towards the remains of the Mutated Dire Wolf Beast that had entirely turned to sand, “Let’s see what this beast has dropped. A Dark Gold Quality item should be a decent one.”
