I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 417: Stealing Monsters Again?

An armor of black demonic flame made Song Jian appear as a devil, and though he had the defense of the innate skill “Thick-Faced”, a wave of murderous intent still surged uncontrollably in his heart.

At this time, the Hexagram Array Diagram on his chest was emitting a faint glow, as if influencing something.

Seeing the four trolls rushing towards him, Song Jian revealed a wicked smile. He turned his wrist, swung the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword forward, and charged at the four trolls;

Broken Wing Dance!

A brilliant Sword Qi made the four trolls stop in their tracks and hurriedly lift their weapons to defend. The collision of weapons sparked a glittering burst. The trolls felt the strength of Song Jian and, despite competing with him, felt suppressed. They shuddered in their hearts, and a sense of fear surged within them;

Before they could react, the second attack of the Broken Wing Dance was already near. It was a sword Qi lashing from the lower left to the upper right, tearing apart the Abyssal Power from their bodies and leaving a bone-deep wound on them, blood splattering everywhere;

At this moment, Song Jian had leaped up high, swinging the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, and slammed it down onto the four trolls;

Bang!

The bodies of the four trolls shivered, and damage points of over three hundred floated above their heads. Their bodies involuntarily glided through the air, entering a state of suspension;

Song Jian flickered, activated the “Rapid Sword” skill, his long sword leaving behind a series of afterimages as it slashed at the four trolls;

Sword Silk

Sweeping Sword Style

Spiritual Sword Control Technique

All the sword moves poured out, the four trolls screamed continuously, and their Vitality Points decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye;

At this time, Duo Sa was continuously extracting energy from the Book of the Abyss to recover his injuries. But seeing that his four companions were about to perish under Song Jian’s sword, he immediately disconnected from the Book of the Abyss, grabbed the Bone Wolf Fang Staff, and rushed toward Song Jian with a roar;

Song Jian took two steps back, included the rushing Duo Sa into his attack range. For a moment, the five trolls and Song Jian were fighting ferociously, with sounds of roars echoing constantly;

With the addition of Duo Sa, the four trolls regained their vitality. Even though their Vitality Points are already less than a third, their mad and tyrannical aura did not weaken at all. They attacked crazily, with the intention to fulfill a mutual destruction with Song Jian.

Song Jian was facing five enemies alone, but he hadn’t fallen into a disadvantage at all. The attacks of the five trolls landed on Song Jian’s armor, which was burning with black flames, causing almost negligible damage. He was already on the undefeated ground from the start;

As for the Abyssal Power protection on the trolls’ bodies, in Song Jian’s eyes, it was like a piece of thin paper. He easily broke through their defense, causing massive damage to them;

After ten minutes, two of the five trolls had been killed by Song Jian. The other two trolls, having strength equivalent to ordinary monsters, had their vitality points reduced to the lowest. The red light was flickering on their health bar, and clear fatigue was reflected on their faces.

At this time, Song Jian still had over 60% of his Vitality Points. The balance of victory had begun to tilt heavily in his favor.

Light Strike!

Song Jian sent Duo Sa flying with a single sword strike. Then raising his left hand, a silver Sword Qi, three meters long, emanated from his left index finger, easily penetrating the skull of the nearest troll;

Seeing this troll collapse limply, Song Jian made a backhand swing and continued the endless succession of sword attacks, taking the life of another troll. Now, out of the five trolls, only Duo Sa with dwindling health was left;

Seeing his companion’s body surface beginning to ignite with transparent flames, despair flashed in Duo Sa’s eyes. This human was too powerful; even with the help of the Book of the Abyss, Duo Sa was still no match for him.

Seeing Song Jian clad in armor burning with black demonic flames, Duo Sa’s face suddenly revealed a faint smile. He muttered softly, “When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also gazes back at you!”

Song Jian slowly walked towards Duo Sa, eyeing Duo Sa who was gradually slipping into madness, gripping his long sword tightly.

“When you harness the power of the abyss, the power of the abyss also alters you. Human, there will come a day when you will become just like me…”

At the end of his sentence, Duo Sa let out an animalistic roar and, adopting a do-or-die posture, rushed at Song Jian, gripping his Bone Wolf Fang Staff firmly.

Beep beep beep-

Boom-

A dazzling red beam shot from behind Song Jian. The distance between the beam and his cheek was no more than three inches, close enough for Song Jian to smell his hair scorching.

The red beam penetrated Duo Sa’s chest, draining him of his last Vitality Points.

“Brother Song, are you okay?” Wang Qi’s anxious voice came from behind. As Song Jian turned around, he saw the four teammates who had lost consciousness during the teleportation had now rushed over.

Seeing Wang Qi’s anxious look, Song Jian was momentarily at a loss for words and in the end, could only offer a slight smile, choosing to ignore Wang Qi’s creature-stealing habits.

“Boss, it seems you’ve snatched Brother Song’s creature again!” said Tang Rong quietly, whispering into Wang Qi’s ear.

Wang Qi’s body stiffened, he turned his head doubtfully to ask, “Really? Is it really the case?”

“It is!” Ma Yu and the others all nodded their heads in agreement.

“Song, Brother Song, I’m sorry…” Wang Qi immediately looked downcast as he apologized to Song Jian.

Song Jian waved his hand dismissively and acted as though he didn’t care. Upon a slight thought, the fiery demonic armor on his body immediately dispersed, leaving behind a feeling of weakness. Song Jian stood still for a long while before the unpleasant feeling gradually faded away.

Song Jian ignored the five giant devils, including Duo Sa’s dropped items, and walked straight towards the altar where the Book of the Abyss was trembling and burning with black flames. It appeared the book was fearful of Song Jian.

The moment Song Jian approached the Book of the Abyss, the Fourth-tier Demonic Flame, the Abyssal Raging Flame within his body, burned all at once without Song Jian’s summoning. From afar, Song Jian resembled a towering figure of black flames.

The appearance of the Abyssal Raging Flame caused the Book of the Abyss to tremble even more, seemingly more fearful of the Abyssal Raging Flame.

Song Jian took one step after another towards the altar, reaching out to grab the Book of the Abyss.

This was his first time touching the Book of the Abyss. The last time, when he had defeated the guardian of the Blood Demon Cave, Cecilia had been the one to take the book.

As soon as Song Jian gripped the Book of the Abyss, he felt a strong suction force emitting from the book. The Abyssal Raging Flame inside him started to flow unceasingly towards the Book of the Abyss. This feeling of passive siphoning was unsettling, and as Song Jian’s body had lost control, he could only stand still, letting the Abyssal Magic Flame in his body drain entirely.

In no time at all, the Abyssal Raging Flames on Song Jian’s body disappeared, leaving only the Book of the Abyss in his hand, a book blazing with black flames.
