I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 527: Chapter 527: Destroy

Seeing the three Bone Beads flying towards him, Song Jian got a scare. He instantly activated the Bloodthirsty Shield while a pair of steel wings spread out from his back, firmly protecting his body.

Boom, boom, boom~

The Bloodthirsty Shield shattered as the sound of steel wings being struck like rain hitting banana leaves echoed. One MISS after another floated up above Song Jian’s head.

The moment the steel wings spread out, his defense significantly increased. Moreover, it automatically nullified damage below 50 points. Coupled with Song Jian’s natural talent, if the damage dealt didn’t exceed 65 points, he would remain completely unharmed.

When the Bloodthirsty Shield broke apart, Song Jian’s Vitality Points suddenly increased by more than 500, completely replenishing the previously lost Vitality Points.

Tang Ming’s eyes widened in disbelief at the scene before him. Just by throwing one Bone Bead earlier, he managed to deal more than 500 damage to Song Jian. Now, he had thrown three beads at once and expected that at least it would leave Song Jian severely injured, if not kill him outright.

But why did the opponent not receive any damage, and his Vitality Points even restored? Could it be that my three Bone Beads have a healing effect?

Feeling the effect of the Bone Beads fade, Song Jian fiercely lunged forward. An icy path appeared beneath his feet as he passed between the two Skeleton Soldiers. His powerful sword cut through the air towards Tang Ming.

Death Shield!

Tang Ming calmly wielded the Bone Wand, causing a grayish shield to appear around him instantly. As Song Jian rushed towards him, a smile appeared on Tang Ming’s face. “Embrace death. My Skeleton General, feel the Force of Death. One day, you will understand its greatness!”

Death Shield, Tang Ming’s strongest defense, would cause any living creature that attacked it to suffer from the Force of Death, reducing their attributes by 30%.

Moreover, the Death Shield’s defense value was as high as 1,200 points. Even the Bone Bead needed two beads to break its defense.

Watching Song Jian wielding his sword, slashing towards the Death Shield, Tang Ming seemed to have already seen his weakened opponent. A complete body was a prerequisite for creating a Skeleton General. With Song Jian in a weakened state, it would be easier for Tang Ming to obtain his intact corpse.

Clang~

With a crisp shattering sound, the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword easily tore through the defense of the Death Shield, ruthlessly striking Tang Ming’s shoulder.

A stream of black blood spurted out, and Tang Ming felt an intense pain in his shoulder, giving him a sense of unreality.

“How could this be…”

Subsequently, Tang Ming saw the deep wound on his shoulder, reaching the bones, and became enraged.

“I’ll kill you! I’ll sink your soul into the flames of Hell and burn it for a hundred, a thousand years!” Tang Ming gritted his teeth. His body suddenly transformed into a pool of black blood seeping into the ground and disappeared.

The two Skeleton Soldiers still rushed at Song Jian aggressively. However, without Tang Ming’s command, these two puppets had become even weaker than ordinary monsters. Song Jian quickly shattered them into a pile of bone fragments.

Skeleton Soldiers like these had to be present in large quantities to showcase their true power. An endless sea of skeletons in the wilderness could terrify any class of players.

Unfortunately, Tang Ming’s current strength still had a long way to go to reach such a level, and it might be impossible for him to ever create such a scene.

Seeing the black traces remaining on the ground, Song Jian couldn’t help but frown. Tang Ming’s methods were too strange; he effortlessly turned into blood and merged with the earth. Killing him was becoming increasingly difficult.

This place was Tang Ming’s safe house, and he couldn’t get away from here. Song Jian believed Tang Ming was still inside the safe house and hadn’t fled too far.

While searching the safe house, Song Jian quickly found Tang Ming’s laboratory. Entering the room, he could sense a strong force of death. The smell of rotting corpses made any living creature feel uncomfortable.

Song Jian carefully left everything on the experiment table untouched due to his cautious approach to unknown things. The nutrition tank in the middle of the laboratory had been opened with some thick green liquid inside. A strong force of death emanated from the nutrition tank.

Upon closer inspection, the entire set of experiment equipment was actually a set of blue-quality Skeleton Soldier conversion apparatus. It could be used to transform player corpses into Skeleton Soldiers. There was a slight chance that powerful player corpses could be transformed into Skeleton Generals, and an even smaller chance to be transformed into Skeleton Kings.

However, the apparatus’ conversion rate was reduced. Even the lowest-tier Skeleton Soldier only had a 10% success rate, and each conversion took seven days.

Looking at the laboratory’s left wall, Song Jian found a cabinet filled with a row of corpses. Taking a closer look, these were all players below level 20. It was unclear how Tang Ming managed to preserve these player corpses.

“This guy must be a lunatic in the real world!” Song Jian couldn’t help but feel disgusted by the sight of the player corpses, his face grimacing.

“If I destroy this place, I wonder what Tang Ming’s expression would be like. I’m looking forward to it.” A slight smirk appeared on Song Jian’s face as he took out two high-explosive grenades from his inventory and placed them beneath the experiment table and nutrition tank.

There was nothing worth taking in the safe house except for the valuable Skeleton Soldier conversion apparatus. Song Jian didn’t want to use it to harm others and decided to destroy it instead.

Reaching the stone steps to leave the safe house, Song Jian took out a Self-destructing Robot and controlled it to walk towards the laboratory.

Sword Shadow Step!

Transforming into a dark shadow, Song Jian dashed towards the outside of the safe house. The power of two high-explosive grenades and a Self-destructing Robot was enough to send the safe house flying, and Song Jian didn’t want to get caught in the destruction.

Bang!

With a single sword strike, Song Jian slashed open the entrance to the safe house and quickly dashed towards the outside of the town.

Before he could leave the town, Song Jian felt the ground violently tremble. A muffled explosion rang out behind him. The powerful force tore down the buildings around the safe house, causing large cracks to form on the cement road.

Song Jian stumbled and fell on the ground, unable to balance himself. He turned to see the safe house now reduced to a sunken crater.

“No!”

Behind him, Tang Ming’s mournful roar echoed as a dark shadow slowly floated into the air. Tang Ming was disheveled at this point, never expecting Song Jian to possess high-explosive grenades and a Self-destructing Robot. Caught off guard, the Tang Ming hidden underground was also affected and blasted out.
