I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1374: Chapter 1376: Kill Chapter 1374: Chapter 1376: Kill Song Jian slowly approached the lake’s edge, where he could clearly see a puzzled expression in the eyes of the mythical beasts around the perimeter of the underground lake.

Although Song Jian had a scent they were familiar with, as a human, he was still very different from the mythical beasts.

“Roar!”

The Legendary Realm beast, resembling a plesiosaur, surged from the bottom of the lake, letting out an angry bellow as it swiftly swam towards Song Jian.

In just a matter of seconds, the Legendary Realm creature reached the shore. As it drew near, Song Jian suddenly felt his skin tighten and the air around him grew more humid.

Ding!

A strange sound echoed by Song Jian’s ear–an abruptly materializing water drop shot towards him like a bullet, grazing his cheek and leaving a bloody mark before vanishing. Stunned, Song Jian realized the attack was impossible to guard against; the water drop seemed to appear out of nowhere and gave him no chance to dodge. A thought flashed through his mind, and he involuntarily opened his Breaking Illusion Divine Eye at the center of his forehead.

Suddenly, the seemingly empty void was filled with numerous densely packed, conically shaped water drops, each with a thread as thin as a hair trailing from its tail. Following these threads with his eyes, Song Jian discovered that they all originated from the body of the plesiosaur creature.

“What, what kind of superpower is this!” Song Jian exclaimed in astonishment.

Just then, one of the threads trembled violently. With a “ding,” the thread snapped, and the water drop tethered to its end flew towards Song Jian once more, this time aiming for the center of his forehead.

Hmph!

With a cold snort, Song Jian’s face darkened. The Breaking Illusion Divine Eye on his forehead burst into a brilliant light, directly colliding with and completely vaporizing the water drop. At the same time, a beam of light shot towards the plesiosaur, cutting a more than three-foot-long wound into its elongated neck. Blood spattered in all directions, and the plesiosaur was instantly enraged.

Ding, ding, ding~
A series of explosions resounded by Song Jian’s ear as numerous threads began to quiver violently. In an instant, over a hundred water drops were poised to launch, enveloping a vast area directly in front of Song Jian.

These drops, seemingly made of water, were actually incredibly hard. With Song Jian’s defensive capabilities, they could easily pierce through his body. Had he not been able to see them before, Song Jian would have been severely injured under this attack, but now, he had plenty of time to dodge.

With a thought, a thousand Spirit Swords appeared on the surface of Song Jian’s body, swirling around him. A dazzling, dark red flame blossom opened slowly in front of him.

This time, Song Jian executed the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation without locking onto any target, so the Sword Formation merely unfolded in its standard pattern, barely managing to protect Song Jian alone.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Almost all the water drops shot towards Song Jian at the same time. He observed them flying in the void for a while before they gradually became visible.

The portion of their flight that had been detached from the threads was like the first three seconds he activated Soul Wander, seemingly existing in an alternate plane of trajectory!

As these water drops left the alternate plane, they were now less than a meter away from Song Jian–too close to dodge completely, despite the further enhancements to his physical abilities from the serum.

“Such superpowers are nearly divine, how could this legendary creature be so formidable!” Song Jian was astonished. “Moreover, why did it attack me as soon as it saw me, while the other two Legendary Realm beasts seem to have no interest in me at all…”

Song Jian sensed through Black Dragon Kamata that the other two Legendary Realm beasts were still in the depths of the underground lake, continuously absorbing the radiant energy emanating from the meteorite fragments, completely indifferent to his presence.

Seeing the fury in the eyes of the plesiosaur-like beast before him, Song Jian seemed to understand. It looked like this beast had been modified, and the researchers must have inflicted great harm on it, which filled it with rage towards humans. Upon seeing Song Jian, it disregarded the familiar scent emanating from him and launched an attack directly.

Clang, clang, clang, boom, boom, ~
Countless droplets collided with the continuously spinning dark red flames of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, sparking showers of sparks. Song Jian saw that more and more lotus leaves were shattered by the droplets, breaking into pieces and turning into fragmentary Spirit Swords that fell and slowly vanished into specks of light.

The lotus leaves grew fewer and fewer, and the impacting droplets became less and less, until at last, only a few remaining lotus leaves of the Sword Formation still barely existed, while the droplets had disappeared completely.

Just then, the entire Red Lotus Sword Array suddenly collapsed, and as the plesiosaur-like beast felt a surge of surprise, a sharp long sword appeared above its head, slashing down viciously at it.

Just as the plesiosaur-like beast was too slow to dodge, only able to withstand the strike with its massive body, Song Jian suddenly gripped the Sky-breaking Sword and charged at it.

A thread of primordial Sword Qi swirled rapidly within him, and this time, presumably due to his increased physical fitness, the searing feeling brought about by the Sword Qi was much diminished, and his control had improved; executing the Opening Heaven Style had also become much easier.

Swipe~
The Red Lotus Sword grazed the neck of the plesiosaur, and had it not dodged in time, the strike could have beheaded it.

Although it was only a graze, it still caused considerable pain to the plesiosaur-like beast, which let out an angry roar just as a long-handled battle axe appeared in midair and chopped down at it fiercely.

A silent aura of chaos spread, and the plesiosaur-like beast seemed to sense something, revealing a look of despair in its eyes, and quickly retreated towards the underground lake.

As it neared the lakeshore, the battle axe’s Sword Qi cruelly chopped into its body. In an instant, the plesiosaur-like beast’s body stiffened, and from the wound, not a single drop of blood spurted out; even the battle axe, having cut into its flesh, disappeared without a trace, completely silent.

However, at that moment, a large amount of grey sand poured out from the wound on the plesiosaur-like beast, and in an instant, its entire body crumbled as if it were a sculpture made of sand; with a “whoosh,” it scattered on the lakeshore.

Song Jian gasped heavily for a few breaths, feeling somewhat stifled in his chest. The aftermath of unleashing “Opening Heaven” at full force was significantly diminished compared to before. If not for the lack of Sword Qi Value, even if he had to execute it twice in a row, Song Jian felt that he could bear it!

System: You have slain a King Level BOSS beast, displaying extraordinary bravery, and your assessment rating is improved! Congratulations, your pass assessment rating can now be upgraded by one level!

“As expected, slaying Legendary Realm BOSSes makes it easier to gain assessment rating improvements!” Song Jian thought to himself. Suddenly full of confidence, he felt that the remaining two Legendary Realm BOSS beasts would no longer hinder his mission completion.

Just as Song Jian was preparing to continue towards the lake, he suddenly noticed that next to where the plesiosaur had crumbled into a pile of fine sand, a golden bead had appeared.

A faint, ethereal fragrance wafted from this bead, immediately arousing a desire to swallow it whole in anyone who smelled it!
