I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1058

Chapter 1058: The 1060th serious injury_1 Chapter 1058: The 1060th serious injury_1 Since the Lightning Beast was killed by the entire team, the properties of the loot dropped were visible to all. A level ninety-three Dark Gold Quality weapon and its attributes top-notch, to say nothing of one million Doomsday Coins, even one hundred thousand Doomsday Coins made Song Jian feel like it would be a loss.

These people were merely eyeing Song Jian's low level, wanting to take advantage of it. As for the formidable offensive power Song Jian had previously displayed, in their eyes, it was nothing more than the result of him using a secret technique, sacrificing his weapon to unleash its power; now that his weapon was destroyed, it wouldn't be so easy for him to demonstrate that power again.

In their eyes, Song Jian was now a beast that had lost its fangs and posed no threat to them. If it were someone at the Second-tier Strength Peak or of third-tier strength, they certainly wouldn't have come looking for trouble. But Song Jian was just a level 50 “newbie.” Greed overcame their rationality. If they could snatch the bow, then even if they failed the mission this time, they would still make a killing.

“Sorry, but I won't sell for less than five million Doomsday Coins,” Song Jian said coldly, giving the three men a glance. They were just a bit over level eighty, having not even passed the third-tier assessment, mere “failures” at the peak of the second tier, and they dared to act wildly in front of him?

Indeed, typically level-fifty individuals can engage in second-tier Combat Power assessments, and level-eighty ones can attempt the third-tier. At level one hundred and twenty, one can challenge the Legendary Tier.

But in reality these assessments become increasingly difficult, and very few are strong enough to take on the third-tier Combat Power assessment at level eighty, with most ordinary adventurers waiting until level eighty-five or even ninety to attempt it.

As for the Legendary Tier, not to mention level one hundred twenty, even those at level one hundred fifty who haven't passed the Legendary Tier are dime a dozen. The Legendary Tier isn't something you can pass with strength alone; apart from power, it also requires a certain amount of luck!

“Kid, it seems you're not aware of the situation. Let me, Scar-face Billy, teach this newbie a lesson on what rules to follow when adventuring in the wilds…” The rogue adventurer with a scar on his face revealed a vulture-like cold smile as his figure slowly vanished.

The other two also had cold smirks on their faces as they stepped back twice, yielding the field to Scar-face Billy. In their opinion, a God-favored one who had just stepped into the second-tier strength at level fifty stood no chance against Scar-face Billy.

The disparity of over thirty levels made it impossible for Song Jian to track Billy's position with perception. However, this didn't pose any difficulty to Song Jian, whose thoughts triggered a faint golden fissure between his eyebrows. A Vertical Eye slowly emerged, gleaming brightly.

The Vertical Eye had been strengthened twice, greatly enhancing its scanning capability. Song Jian effortlessly locked onto Billy's figure. He had already moved to Song Jian's left side and seemed to be circling to launch an attack from behind.

The greatest characteristic of the rogue class was to attack from behind, gaining a tremendous critical hit bonus and damage bonus. Plus, considering the level gap between the two, a single strike might be enough to take down Song Jian instantly.

Of course, this was the prediction Billy would make not knowing Song Jian's Vitality Points. By now, Song Jian's Vitality Points had already surpassed ten thousand, and even if he stood still and let Billy attack, a combo wouldn't be likely to kill him right away.

Additionally, considering Song Jian's defensive resistances and his superb equipment, he could completely bridge the level gap between them.

Song Jian's hand clutched the damaged Dark Gold Quality sword, a hint of coldness appearing at the corner of his mouth. This wasn't the time for mercy; he needed to showcase his strength to deter others. Otherwise, such incidents would happen again.

A piece of Dark Gold Quality weaponry might be enviable to many adventurers, who however might not care much about it. But what about an epic or even Legendary Level item? All the adventurers present would likely not remain indifferent, and even Xi Lin, the earl's son, couldn't be unmoved.

After locking onto Billy's position, Song Jian didn't hesitate and immediately executed the Mysterious Moonlight Sword. Like a streak of lightning, he charged toward Billy who was to his side.

When Billy saw Song Jian open his Vertical Eye, he immediately felt something was off. Anyone with a pupil technique like that would make stealth abilities minimally effective, and once a rogue loses their invisibility and the ability to launch a backstab attack, their actual combat power drops significantly below that of other melee classes.

This is also the reason why most thieves are adept at striking once and fleeing a thousand miles if their first hit fails. Their extremely high burst power also dictates their weaker sustained combat abilities. Once the fight reaches a deadlock, many thieves would choose to retreat with their strong stealth abilities.

“Damn, he's spotted me!” Although Billy didn't know the true effect of Song Jian's Vertical eye, he realized that Song Jian had pinpointed his location.

However, at this moment, Billy didn't regard Song Jian as a threat. He believed that even in a head-on fight, he would surely defeat his opponent. Therefore, he directly abandoned the idea of a sneak attack from behind and chose to confront him head-on.

Just as he was gearing up to charge, Song Jian had transformed into a bolt of lightning and rushed in front of him. The invisibility greatly reduced his moving speed, and Billy couldn't even react in time before Song Jian's longsword had already pierced his chest.

A burst of fresh blood sprayed out, and to Billy's astonishment, his Level 80 blue-quality leather armor had provided no defense whatsoever and was effortlessly ripped through by Song Jian's damaged long sword.

Just as Billy was about to counterattack, he suddenly found himself losing control over his body, his feet became light and airy, and his whole body involuntarily started floating up into the air.

Shua, shua, shua~
As long as the first strike landed and caused damage, Billy was utterly unable to dodge the subsequent attacks. Nine streaks of blood shot out from his body as colossal damage numbers floated above his head. In the blink of an eye, Billy lost two-thirds of his Vitality Points and was nearly killed instantly.

Thump!

Billy, now visible, slammed heavily onto the ground. Facing a mere Level 50 “rookie”, he found himself without any means to fight back, and was severely wounded by a single move.

Song Jian looked down at Billy, who was falling from the sky, with some regret. If he had wielded the Sky-breaking Sword, that move would have instantly killed Billy, but unfortunately…

As Song Jian prepared to finish off Billy's remaining Vitality Points, Billy's two teammates suddenly burst out shouting, “What do you think you're doing, stop right there!”

The two opponents drew their weapons, ready to help Billy attack Song Jian, but at that moment, Kan War, holding a silver shield, leaped out, stood before the two, and spoke with a tone of disdain, “It's time for a duel. If you guys are itching for a fight, I'm up for some fun.”

Kan War's profession was a Holy Light Defender, which compared to a Holy Knight, had weaker attack power and could only exert 80% of various attack miracles. However, his defense and resistances were much higher than those of a Holy Knight. Coupled with various auras providing debuffs such as slow, reduced defense, and reduced resistance, he could definitely torment his foes to the point of wanting to give up.

Although it would be difficult for Kan War to kill these two by himself, the thought of them killing Kan War was even more improbable. Kan War was absolutely confident that he could hold them off for at least half an hour.

By then, once Song Jian was free to join the fray, the two of them working together wouldn't just defeat those two – even if they doubled in number, Kan War was confident he could take them all down.
