I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 832: Chapter 833: Instant Kill_1

Song Jian’s mastery of the Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision became increasingly proficient. With Gulu the stone golem’s coordination, although he never again managed to summon twenty-four Spirit Swords at once, the number of Spirit Swords he summoned each time was always more than twelve. He took less than five minutes to annihilate the remaining five Harpy Slaughterers.

Such efficiency was beyond Song Jian’s imagination before, and this step affirmed the correctness of his choice.

After killing the six elite BOSSes, besides the first one dropping a silver-quality accessory, the other five BOSSes only dropped level 40 blue and green equipment, which Song Jian did not mind and simply collected.

Entering the cave, a putrid smell hit him full in the face, and at the cave entrance, Song Jian even saw remnants of some creatures, a layer of white bones eerily scattered on the ground.

First, Song Jian had Gulu the stone golem disguise himself as a pile of rocks, scattered outside the cave entrance, then he sneaked in by himself.

Along the way, Song Jian carefully avoided the bones underfoot, fearing that any noise might alert the BOSS inside the cave. Knowing that the guards were level 45 elite BOSSes, Song Jian understood that the cave’s leader would be of an even higher level and quality.

With no other monsters in the cave, Song Jian smoothly arrived at the depths, where, on a huge black rock, he found the invisible Harpy leader lying down, asleep.

This Harpy leader, actually a named monster, Sels Bloodfeather, was a level 46 lord-class BOSS, with Vitality Points exceeding fifty thousand.

Just as Song Jian was preparing to initiate the fight, he suddenly felt Gulu at the cave entrance transmit to him an image. It was a group of players, cautiously approaching the cave.

Seeing the person leading them, Song Jian’s eyes narrowed, and a hint of anger appeared on his face. It was those people from the Pantheon again!

Thinking this, Song Jian glanced at the distant BOSS and slowly retreated to a corner, where he used the necklace to enter a stealth state.

The cave was dimly lit. Song Jian hid in the shadows, and even if someone from the other party constantly used skills to see through stealth, they would have a hard time detecting him in the shadows of the cave wall.

Zeus, leading a group of people, slowly sneaked in. After just a couple of steps, the God of Thieves pulled Zeus aside with a grave expression and slowly shook his head.

The group slowly retreated, and Zeus, puzzled, looked at the God of Thieves, wanting an explanation.

“The cave is just too quiet…” The God of Thieves shook his head and whispered, “Either Song Jian has already killed the BOSS and left, or he hasn’t entered this cave, or…”

The God of Thieves scanned the surroundings and whispered, “Or we’ve been discovered, and he is now in the cave, preparing to ambush us!”

Several members of the Pantheon were startled and quickly started looking around.

“The monsters at the entrance, they are all level 45 elite BOSSes, and there were six of them!” a player whispered.

“How could his strength be so formidable, killing six level 45 elite BOSSes so quickly?”

“How about we retreat? Since he has already detected us, there’s no point in an ambush now!”

“Yeah boss, I reckon a few of us are no match for him!”

…

Along the way, the sight of bodies strewn throughout the valley had terrified several people. To see such high-level monsters slain single-handedly by Song Jian, as effortlessly as if he were cutting vegetables, without sustaining any damage to himself, made them realize that attempting to ambush Song Jian was akin to seeking death;

The expression on Zeus’s face grew increasingly grim. He had noticed that since Song Jian became the city lord, his strength had soared at an astonishing rate. Zeus attributed all this progress to the City Lord seal, suspecting it to be the reason behind Song Jian’s rapid advancement;

“He is but one man, and we are six,” Zeus said in a low voice. “What do you think? Even without an ambush, can we not defeat one man with six against him?”

A few elite players from the Pantheon glanced at each other, seeing thick fear in each other’s eyes. To say nothing of six, even with sixty of them, they might not dare to make a move against Song Jian;

“Boss, maybe we should just let it go this time,” a player said softly. “Wait until we have gathered enough manpower and then settle the score with him, how about that?”

Zeus swept a glance at them and realized that these people had all lost their courage. Even the God of Thieves appeared emotionless;

Zeus knew that when the City of Hope was successfully established, they had made no significant move, which had severely impacted his prestige. However, he had not expected this collective defiance of his decision this time;

“Maybe attempting to ambush Song Jian is indeed overestimating our own abilities?” Zeus couldn’t help but question himself internally;

Song Jian had waited for quite a while and saw no one from the Pantheon approach. Finding it strange, Gulu, the stone creature, transmitted a series of images into his mind.

It turned out that the group from the Pantheon had retreated to the cave entrance and begun discussing. It seemed the pressure he had exerted on them was too great, causing them not even to have the courage to come in and take a look;

Song Jian sneered and took the initiative to walk towards the cave entrance. Since they wouldn’t come in, he decided it was best to go out;

Zeus let out a sigh, feeling disheartened. It seemed there was no point in staying in Doomsday City anymore; sooner or later, the entire city would fall to the City of Hope Alliance. Considering they hadn’t yet made direct contact with the territory of the City of Hope Alliance, perhaps it was best to leave and seek development in another city;

While Zeus hesitated, he suddenly sensed something and turned his head to look at the cave entrance, only to see more than a dozen gleaming Spirit Swords rushing towards them;

“Song Jian!” Zeus’s eyes seethed with rage. He had not expected that Song Jian would dare to launch an attack on them, six players, all by himself;

Thirteen Spirit Swords locked onto a Mage player next to Zeus, and no matter how the Mage tried to dodge, the swords, as if they had eyes, traced arcs through the air, changing direction mid-flight and always zooming towards the Mage player;

Boom, boom, boom~

After a series of roars and the dust settled, the body of the Mage lay on the ground;

A look of horror appeared on everyone’s faces. Mages might have low Vitality Points, but they possess numerous defensive skills. To be killed in a single blow with such terrifying damage meant that if it happened to anyone else, even if it didn’t result in instant death, they would assuredly be gravely wounded and lose the ability to fight;

Instantly, two Thief players immediately used their stealth skills to enter a hidden state and fled swiftly into the forest of the valley, while the remaining two players also used their Acceleration Skills to run into the distance;

Zeus snorted coldly, his cape billowing out behind him as he rose on a gust of air, his cape acting like the wings of a bird, carrying him into the sky;
