I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 834: Chapter 835 Picking Up a Bargain_1

The floating state of the Mysterious Moonlight Sword was significantly more powerful than the Broken Wing Dance sword technique; if the first strike wasn’t blocked, then the following eight strikes would continue to benefit from the utterly defenseless floating state, rendering even the highest defenses effectively useless;

The effects of the Moonlight Sword also appeared particularly shocking; Blood Feather, in a floating state, seemed like a sieve, spurting several streams of blood arrows, letting out a series of piercing, agonizing screams, while its body started to convulse slightly;

At this moment, Song Jian also realized that his Sword Shadow Clone had lost connection with him; the Harpy leader Blood Feather’s lightning ball had instantly wiped out the Sword Shadow Clone, sinking Song Jian’s heart, it seemed that this BOSS’s ranged damage was much more formidable than he had anticipated, and he would need to engage in close-quarters combat to restrain it;

You should know, the greater the power of the ranged damage, the longer the casting time, and only in close combat could Song Jian interrupt its skill casting;

Once the Mysterious Moonlight Sword skill had been released, Blood Feather crashed heavily to the ground. With a pained roar, Blood Feather flipped over to stand up and lunged at Song Jian, only to suddenly see more than a dozen long swords with radiant energy shadows materialize in front of Song Jian; Blood Feather’s eyes showed a glimpse of fear as it hastily retreated;

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

The Thousand Swords Art was executed again, with more than a dozen Spirit Swords bombarding Blood Feather into a forced retreat;

The cooldown for the Mysterious Moonlight Sword was five seconds, while the cooldown for Thousands of Swords Flying Immortal Decision was ten seconds; interweaving a couple of normal slashes in between nicely linked these two skills together. However, the Mysterious Moonlight Sword needed to be initiated from three meters away; every time it needed to be cast, Song Jian had to actively widen the distance, which was a slight flaw;

After releasing the Thousand Swords Art, Song Jian leaped forward, swinging his long sword viciously at Blood Feather. His damage-dealing abilities were still too few at the moment, with both skills in cooldown, he could only continue attacking with normal slashes;

However, Song Jian’s weapon, the Sky-breaking Sword, was inherently high in damage. Coupled with the talent skill “Holy Sword”, which progressively increased damage dealt to the target over time and could also shorten the cooldown of skills, the most important aspect was the chance to trigger the “Indestructible” effect;

During regular use, Song Jian found that it took at least ten minutes for the “Holy Sword” to maximize its damage enhancement and cooldown reduction effects;

But with Song Jian’s current strength, ten minutes was more than enough to deal with the Lord-level BOSS before him, resulting in the “Holy Sword” effect not being fully utilized due to his high damage output. It seemed that only by hunting more formidable BOSSes could he fully leverage the “Holy Sword” effect;

Yet stronger BOSSes often had the power to instantly kill Song Jian, and it wasn’t just a matter of ten minutes—to last even one minute would be a challenge for Song Jian;

Seeing Song Jian rushing toward it, Blood Feather swung its Magic Staff as if it were a warrior, engaging Song Jian in a fierce combat. A set of cape staff techniques was executed, and in a short while, it had managed to suppress Song Jian, which took him by surprise; the Harpy leader, supposedly a ranged magic attacker, was also adept at close combat techniques, and seemed even more skilled than him;

Although many of Song Jian’s sword skills had been devoured and vanished, he clearly remembered how to perform them, having used them hundreds, if not thousands of times before. These skills were deeply etched into Song Jian’s memory. It’s just that his current applications lacked the power of those sword techniques and caused only regular attack damage;

Even without the enhancement of skills, Song Jian’s sword techniques were no weaker than a Swordman who had practiced for over a decade; yet, unexpectedly, in front of the Harpy chief Blood Feather, he felt completely suppressed. It seemed that the Harpy chief had devoted a long time to mastering various close combat techniques;

Seeing Song Jian being suppressed, a glint of joy flashed across Blood Feather’s face, but no sooner had that joy appeared than it witnessed Song Jian once again swing his longsword, slashing through empty space towards it, and more than ten glowing sword phantoms appeared in midair once more;

With a shriek, a shocked and furious expression spread across Blood Feather’s face. The Magic Staff that was smashing towards Song Jian was immediately withdrawn as it retreated in succession while simultaneously casting a defensive skill. With a wave of its Magic Staff, its body was enveloped in a layer of defense covered in crackling electric light;

Crack, crack, crack~

This layer of electric defense only managed to withstand three Spirit Swords before being shattered, and the following Spirit Swords showed no mercy as they slashed fiercely at its body.

Blood Feather’s electric defense wasn’t just for protection; it also had the ability to counterattack. This was especially restrictive against melee professions, as attacking the shield could trigger electric damage, resulting in paralysis and trembling. However, the counterattack capabilities of this layer were completely wasted against long-range damage;

As Song Jian saw the layer of electric defense covering its body, his eyes narrowed. The electric arcs on the shield flared wildly, lashing out like whips whenever struck by the Spirit Swords, and he understood that the threat of this shield, in close combat, was likely greater than the attacks of the Harpy chief;

Fortunately, the Harpy chief only resorted to this defensive skill when under severe threat; otherwise, if it had released this skill during their close combat earlier, Song Jian might have been caught off guard and suffered a loss;

After reaping nearly ten thousand Vitality Points, Song Jian leapt into the air, his figure flashing like lightning, as his longsword thrust towards the Harpy chief’s throat;

A critical hit damage of nearly two thousand points floated up from the Harpy chief’s head, and its body involuntarily floated upwards;

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

A flash of sword light dazzled as the Mysterious Moonlight Sword was executed once again. If the previous electric shield hadn’t disappeared, the first strike of this move might have been blocked, which would have prevented the floating state and subsequent damage wouldn’t have been so severe. But once the boss failed to block the first hit, the following sword techniques became unstoppable;

As the BOSS fell to the ground and Song Jian prepared to leap forward and continue the attack, from the doorway, the stone figure Gulu suddenly transmitted another image. Two Thief class players had sneaked back again, seemingly hoping to take advantage of the situation;

Song Jian snorted coldly, pausing momentarily, but then thrust his longsword at the Harpy chief once more. With a scream, the Harpy chief abandoned its defense and took the sword with its chest, but its Magic Staff swung down howling toward Song Jian’s head;
