I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 906: Chapter 907 Blood_1

Xi Boyaer, despite being a Dominator-level BOSS, had demonstrated strength that far exceeded that level, casually breaking a Legendary Level skill, which made Song Jian doubtful.

Song Jian had encountered Dominator-level monsters before; aside from having more Vitality, slightly more powerful skills, and controlling a wider area, there was nothing particularly terrifying about them.

But Xi Boyaer’s appearance had overturned this assumption. Given its weakened state, it theoretically should have been weaker than other Dominator-level monsters. Yet, it effortlessly shattered Song Jian’s upgraded Thousand Swords Art. If this was truly its own power, why then was it sealed in this coffin?

Uncertainty filled Song Jian’s heart, but he dared not confirm. If Xi Boyaer truly possessed such formidable strength, Song Jian would undoubtedly cast Soul Wander and flee this place immediately;

However, the accidental damage to Xi Boyaer’s cross bolstered Song Jian’s confidence, and he released another Thousand Swords Art towards Xi Boyaer.

This time, Song Jian was lucky. He managed to summon over fifty Spirit Swords blazing with intense flames. Seeing this, Xi Boyaer’s expression darkened instantly, and he opened his mouth wide in a threatening gesture towards Song Jian.

Boom, boom, boom~

This time, when the Spirit Swords struck Xi Boyaer, they didn’t explode on contact. Instead, they slashed first and then detonated violently;

Just this small change increased the power of Thousand Swords Art by more than a third;

With a painful roar, the memories buried deep within Xi Boyaer’s bloodline slowly surfaced. It only remembered that over a thousand years ago, it had battled someone who also mastered the Thousand Swords Art, but the specifics of the fight were unclear, even who won in the end was forgotten;

However, given that Xi Boyaer was still alive, it naively believed that it must have been the victor in that battle;

This time, without the protection of the Bloody Cross, the full force of Thousand Swords Art hit Xi Boyaer. The horrifying damage and intense pain finally awakened the fact it had buried deep in its bloodline and was unwilling to face;

It remembered the details of the battle from a thousand years ago, the most painful defeat in its life. The overwhelming attack of Spirit Swords from all directions left no escape, making it feel despair in battle for the first time;

It was also because of that battle that it had to consume all the Blood Clan’s essence blood to barely escape with severe injuries, taking it hundreds of years to recover, and eventually, it was imprisoned by the judgments of Sky City in this Binding Iron Coffin.

At this thought, a trace of fear appeared on Xi Boyaer’s face. Its Vitality Points dropped by about a hundred thousand all at once, causing it to lose the courage to continue the fight.

Whirr~

Bats filled the entire room, all surging towards the passageway in a swarm.

Song Jian’s face changed. He knew this Dominator-level BOSS was trying to escape. Besides Thousand Swords Art, he had no other large-scale attack skills. Killing hundreds of scattered bats was simply an impossible task.

Five Elements Sword Array!

Acting on instinct, Song Jian tossed the Sky-breaking Sword into the air, and the sword mist of the Five Elements Sword Array instantly blocked off the tunnel entrance. Hundreds of bats were engulfed by the sword mist, but still, about a dozen bats managed to dash through the tunnel;

These bats had very low Vitality Points, only five to six hundred each, and they were all ordinary monsters. Killing them was an easy task. In less than ten seconds, the hundreds of bats inside the Five Elements Sword Array all turned into corpses. However, for Xi Boyaer, as long as a single bat escaped, it would not die;

As a supreme-level BOSS, Xi Boyaer’s strength did not lie in its power, but in its cunning as well as its endless methods of recovery and escape;

“How could I let a supreme-level BOSS that I’ve finally found escape so easily?” Song Jian sneered. This was a weakened state supreme-level BOSS, rarer than the typical ones. Song Jian still needed nine more supreme-level BOSS for his “Sword Immortal Path,” so there was no way he could let this one go;

With a leap, Song Jian’s figure grew transparent and his speed increased dramatically, showcasing the great strength of the Soul Wander skill, whether in defense or in chasing after an enemy.

He followed the tunnel all the way back to the original Church Hall but failed to find any trace of the dozen bats. Just then, several screams and cries of terror suddenly came from outside the church.

Song Jian immediately rushed towards the outside of the church;

Now, on the desolate street, Xi Boyaer was cradling a player’s head, “affectionately” kissing his neck. Beneath its feet lay three player corpses, all drained of blood and turned into mummies;

The player being held by Xi Boyaer was also gradually shrinking, but he was not yet dead. Upon seeing Song Jian, a burst of light exploded in the player’s eyes. He reached out to Song Jian, and although he could no longer speak, Song Jian understood from his lip shape that he was pleading for help;

By this time, Xi Boyaer no longer looked like the skeletal figure with skin stretched over bone as before. Although it still appeared somewhat aged, if one disregarded the fangs in its mouth, it now closely resembled a human elder in their sixties or seventies.

Its Vitality Points, which had dwindled to around two hundred thousand, had all been restored. Although it was still in a weakened state, it was much better off than when it had just crawled out of the coffin. Its maximum Vitality Points had recovered from thirty-something thousand to four hundred eighty thousand. Although not fully restored, it seemingly regained about eighty percent of its strength;

Just as Song Jian was preparing to attack, Xi Boyaer took a deep inhalation, swallowing the last bit of Vitality Points from the player it was holding before casually pushing him aside. Turning around, it faced Song Jian with a smile;

“They have the same scent on them as you do, perhaps they are your companions?” Xi Boyaer took a silk handkerchief from its pocket and gently wiped the blood from the corner of its mouth, smiling, “I’m sorry, I meant to turn them into offspring of the Blood Clan, but as you know, I have just awoken and you have seriously wounded me. I urgently needed fresh blood to recover…”

Xi Boyaer was unaware of the existence of the divinely favored ones, the players, but it could sense the same aura emanating from these humans as from Song Jian, mistaking them for Song Jian’s companions. At the moment, it was using language to attack Song Jian, attempting to incite a sense of guilt in him;

“All right, I have recovered a bit. Perhaps I am not yet your match for the time being, but believe me, one day I will come looking for you, and when that day comes…” Xi Boyaer showed Song Jian a cruel smile, with a gaze that brimmed with intense killing intent;
