I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1520: Chapter 1522: Entering the Arena Chapter 1520: Chapter 1522: Entering the Arena At this moment, Song Jian’s mind was a blank void, and his Mental Strength, Vitality Points, and Sword Qi Value were rapidly depleting as if something was sapping them away.

In just ten seconds, Song Jian’s Vitality Points dwindled to less than one-tenth, his Spirit Points were depleted, and his Sword Qi Value was left with less than ten points.

Song Jian could no longer maintain his Earth Escape state and was forced to emerge from the rocky soil, lying on the black earth.

Then, the ground trembled slightly, and a continuous rumble filled the air as countless barbarian cavalrymen bore down on him. In the sky, the ethereal shadows of the barbarian deities also began to appear.

Song Jian slowly opened his eyes, and what met his gaze were the eyes of the barbarian deity, filled with raging fury.

“What, what has happened to me?” Memories from before he passed out flashed through Song Jian’s mind like lightning.

“Damn it, even the boiling of blood can harm me!” Song Jian’s face paled. If being at his peak condition meant he had a slim chance of escaping death, his current state meant certain death with no possibility of survival.

Just then, godsons and holy women from various alien races were being chased by the barbarian cavalry, rushing towards Song Jian’s position.

The barbarian cavalry weren’t specifically after them; it was just that these individuals happened to be in the path of their charge. Once detected, with cavalry on all sides and nowhere to hide, they had no choice but to flee forward.

“There’s a Human Race member over there!” A godson from another race, with the light of excitement shimmering in his eyes, bellowed loudly.

“Challenge him, take refuge in the Bloody Arena!”

“Haha, as long as we take refuge in the Bloody Arena, we can escape these barbarian cavalrymen. What good fortune…”

…

In a moment, those seven or eight godsons and holy women charged towards Song Jian together.

In Song Jian’s mind, suddenly there were seven or eight voices, cold and indifferent as if they were extraordinarily similar to the system’s prompt tones, yet with subtle differences.

“Sky Ha Clan godson Kama issues a Bloody challenge to you, do you accept?”

“Zi Lan Star Clan holy woman Zi Yunliu issues a Bloody challenge to you, do you accept?”

…

All the godsons and holy women appearing within Song Jian’s vision almost simultaneously issued challenges to him! In their eyes, as long as they could hide in the Bloody Arena, they could avoid the barbarian cavalry. Little did they know, Song Jian was precisely the target of these cavalrymen. Had they known, they would have avoided Song Jian as though he were the plague. Who would dare to get close?

Song Jian looked at the barbarian cavalrymen less than a hundred meters away. A distance so short, a few seconds would be enough to trample him underfoot. Above his head, the ethereal shadow of the barbarian deity was becoming clearer and slowly started taking on a solid form.

“Since when did the Bloody Arena start offering challenge features?” A smile showed on Song Jian’s face, the smile of someone who had found a miraculous chance to survive. Having been facing certain death, he had never considered taking refuge in the Bloody Arena, but now the opportunity had practically thrown itself into his lap.

“I agree!”

Song Jian roared, as entering the battle in the Bloody Arena meant he could recuperate there. Even a couple of seconds would allow him to recover to eighty percent of his condition. As long as he could recover to eighty percent, he could employ the Five Elements Escape Skill to dodge the large group of barbarian cavalry. As for the barbarian deity, that would be left to fate!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
Song Jian and those eight divine children and saintesses of different races turned into white beams of light, flying up into the sky to land on a bloody arena, each taking positions on opposite sides of the arena.

At this moment, a fifteen-second countdown simultaneously appeared in the void before everyone’s eyes. When the countdown ended, the battle would begin.

A melee, an unexpected free-for-all!

Several divine children and saintesses showed panic in their eyes; everyone fighting each other meant that only one could leave the arena alive, the very mutual slaughter they had all wanted to avoid was now unavoidable!

“Let’s join forces and take down that human first!” a divine child could no longer withstand the eerie silence and roared loudly.

“Exactly, first we’ll kill the human prodigy, then we can settle the score among ourselves!”

In an instant, all the divine children and saintesses made their decision, and at this time, Song Jian had already begun to cram healing potions from his inventory into his mouth as fast as he could.

Vitality Points, Spirit Points, and Sword Qi Value were all visibly replenishing at a rapid pace. This was not the time to be sparing; Song Jian used every instant recovery potion and elixir he had, whether they were for raising flat numbers or percentages, swallowing them all in one go.

Ten, nine, eight,…

The countdown slowly came to an end, and in the final three seconds, the once white ethereal numbers had turned blood red, and at the same time, a crimson aura permeated the arena. This aura was like the chaotic auras in the Starry Sky Battlefield, invoking a crazed desire to destroy everything.

“Kill!”

Several divine children and saintesses, with murderous glints in their eyes, ferociously lunged toward Song Jian, who had also managed to recover substantially in those fifteen seconds. While not quite at his peak condition, he nonetheless summoned the strength for a fight!

Hum~
A faint sound resonated as the Time Imprint emitted a transparent light. An invisible, intangible energy enveloped Song Jian, expanding outwards for ten meters before slowly contracting, finally stabilizing into a circle with a diameter of one meter.

At the same time, the Endless Hunt Aura that Song Jian had cast to its limit without anyone noticing, was emanating a white halo under his feet. Like a fierce tiger holding the Sky-breaking Sword, he charged toward the group.

In an instant, flashes of blades and shadows of blood, Song Jian alone with a long sword, clashed against the divine children and saintesses. Neither side used their greatest skills or abilities, fighting like ordinary warriors, relying on nothing but basic punches, blade techniques, and sword skills. Yet, in their hands, these simple moves had miraculous effects, each one no weaker than the skills and abilities used by average players.

The Bloody Arena was shrouded in red light, with a faint scent of blood wafting in every direction. Countless barbarian cavalry stood at attention, reining in their mounts and looking up to the Bloody Arena in the sky.

Even the barbarian deities, having suffered heavy injuries with only five heads and eight arms remaining, quietly bowed their heads to watch the Bloody Arena, their gaze solemn.

“The Bloody Arena, hmph, originally it was an arena for barbarians to please their deities. Since when did other races have to compete in the Bloody Arena to please barbarians, hahaha!”

Suddenly, the barbarian deity let out wild laughter, looking toward the fierce battle on the Bloody Arena between Song Jian and the others, a mocking expression emerging in his eyes.
