I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1599: Chapter 1600 Rescue Chapter 1599: Chapter 1600 Rescue Outside the array, several external disciples from the Divine Sword Sect exchanged looks, perplexed. They hadn’t expected that the Heart Inquiry Sword Array’s Lightning Attraction Array wouldn’t put any pressure on Song Jian; he had simply relied on his physical toughness to crash right through it. Such a frightening level of physical toughness filled the hearts of these external disciples with a tinge of fear. They knew all too well the power of the Heart Inquiry Sword Array having gone through its assessment themselves.

“If the assessment of the Heart Inquiry Sword Array had triggered the Lightning Attraction Array back then, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have even managed to enter,” a Divine Sword Sect disciple said somberly.

“Heh, it’s not just the Lightning Attraction Array. He’s already heading towards the core area. How long do you think it will take him to break the Array’s core? I’ll bet the time it takes an incense stick to burn!”

“An incense stick’s time is a bit exaggerated, don’t you think? At least an hour is needed. That’s a Legendary Level Sword Formation after all. The defensive force of the core Array Eye is equivalent to a Legendary Realm powerhouse. Even an inner sect senior brother would probably need to expend some effort to break it, right?”

“Unless he also possesses Legendary Realm strength, otherwise, breaking the Array Eye seems too difficult. It would be easier to just pass the assessment normally…”

“Right, what level of strength do you think this Imperial Sword Sect disciple has? Peak of the third-order combat power?”

“Impossible, he’s definitely much stronger than the peak of the third-order combat power. Look at that person with peak third-order combat power, would he dare to stand under the Lightning Attraction Array and let the lightning strike him without taking any damage? I think, at least, he must be a Legendary Realm powerhouse!”

“If he truly is a Legendary Realm powerhouse, then he might indeed have the strength to break the core Array Eye of the Heart Inquiry Sword Array!”

“Hey, I’m saying, should we use those methods of ours or not? If we don’t use them soon, once he finds the location of the core Array Eye, those methods will be useless…”

The disciples discussed among themselves fervently, and at the end, they all fell silent, turning their gaze toward Fang Dayou.

After all, it was Fang Dayou who was in charge of the entrance examination, and he was also the one controlling the Heart Inquiry Sword Array. Even if they needed to employ their methods, they would need Fang Dayou’s approval.

“You bastards, why are you looking at me? Are you trying to make me take the fall? If things work out, you’ll take credit, but if they don’t, I’ll be the only one to blame?” Fang Dayou cursed in his mind.

At this time, he knew that his junior brothers were no pushovers, and naturally, he wouldn’t dare to let them use those vicious methods on Song Jian.

If they truly ended up killing Song Jian, it would be difficult for the Divine Sword Sect to explain, and when the time came to find a scapegoat, he would be the one.

Just thinking of his junior brothers’ methods made Fang Dayou’s back break out in cold sweat.

“Forget it, forget about it. Those methods of yours are too insidious. If we really cripple him, the sect will have to answer for it. If the Imperial Sword Sect comes seeking justice, wouldn’t it still fall on us to bear the consequences?” Fang Dayou waved his hand and said.

“Tch~”
A few junior brothers simultaneously gestured a middle finger at Fang Dayou, wearing expressions of disdain.

Fang Dayou wiped the cold sweat from his brow. None of these junior brothers was easy to handle. A bit of trouble within the Heart Inquiry Sword Array might be overlooked by the sect, but if they were to use some of their more ruthless tactics, it was likely that he would be eliminated by the sect elders before the Imperial Sword Sect could even come to accuse him.

“Eh, he actually found the core array eye, heh heh, if he doesn’t understand formations, I’ll drink water standing on my head!” A disciple’s eyes lit up as he pointed at Song Jian on the screen, revealing a look of surprise.

Even though they were already very familiar with the Heart Inquiry Sword Array, locating the core array eye in such a short time was no easy task. It’s worth noting that the core array eye was not fixed every time the Heart Inquiry Sword Array was set up; it shifted position periodically, causing changes in the array’s formations. This was one of the reasons why the Heart Inquiry Sword Array was so difficult to conquer.

Song Jian, sensing the space where the core array eye was located, immediately revealed a hint of a smile. A myriad of sharp Sword Qi was gathering around him, giving him a feeling of being in the original version of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation.

“This is the power a Legendary Level sword formation should possess!” Song Jian thought to himself.

The next moment, the stars shone brilliantly in the sky like meteors falling to the ground and flew towards Song Jian. Upon closer inspection, each “meteor” turned out to be a sharp long sword without a hilt, just a three-foot blade, which completely relied on forceful control rather than being held in the hand.

Looking at these long swords, Song Jian had an idea. Besides the Sky-breaking Sword, all the Spirit Swords formed by the Thousand Swords Art did not need to be controlled by hand, making the presence of a hilt unnecessary.

With this thought, Song Jian suddenly burst out laughing. With a thought, countless Spirit Swords appeared densely around him and began to slowly change under his control. The swords, burning with dark red flames, underwent a transformation.

The original hilts fused into the blades, turning the entire long swords into shapes with sharp points on both ends, a flattened middle, and a slight curve to the blade.

System: Your Divine Skill “Karmic Fire Red Lotus Ten Thousand Swords Art” has changed. Spirit Sword flight speed +3, Spirit Sword sharpness +3, Spirit Sword armor penetration probability increased by 10%;
“Just by making a slight change, the power of the Spirit Swords has been enhanced? What a pleasant surprise!” The system’s prompt filled Song Jian with joy. Watching the “meteors” falling from the sky, he waved his right hand gently, and immediately, the reshaped Spirit Swords began to fly upwards, towards the “meteors” in the sky.

In just a short while, a series of whip-like thunderous rumbles echoed through the void. The entire core array space shook violently as countless Spirit Swords collided with the “meteors,” unleashing a massive Sword Qi storm, which raged through the core space like a tornado.

Outside the array, Fang Dayou suddenly felt a ripple of movement. A phantom image of the array plate appeared in the sky, and at the same time, the plate shook violently as if it was about to explode.

Fang Dayou’s complexion changed dramatically, and without hesitation, he pinched a magic seal with his hands, sending one talisman after another into the array plate to stabilize it. The strain of such a consumption of spiritual energy was turning his face increasingly pale, far more than he, an outer sect’s top disciple, could handle.

Keep in mind that the Heart Inquiry Sword Array was a Legendary Level sword formation. Fang Dayou had the ability to use it, but once the formation was fully deployed, it required at least the combat power of the peak of the third order to qualify for control.

“Quick, signal for an inner sect elder to come! The rest of you, help me control the array plate with all your might. You must stabilize the plate, or if anything gets damaged, we’ll all be severely punished!” Fang Dayou yelled in panic.
