I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1063

Chapter 1063: Chapter 1065: Curse Killing_1 Chapter 1063: Chapter 1065: Curse Killing_1 “This guy…” Song Jian wished he could chop Tugu Man with his sword, but the Sky-breaking Sword was still fusing with the Sword Spirit and couldn't be used. Song Jian could only dodge for now and get away from this place.

With a thought, a “boom” sounded, and two scorching flames rose behind Song Jian, forming the Flame Light Wings. With a light tap of his feet, Song Jian was lifted into the air, flying towards the distance, and in the blink of an eye, he had hidden himself a hundred meters away.

After getting away from Tugu Man's “Spiritual Incantation Skill – Ghost Shadow Scream Kill” attack range, Song Jian's heart slowly began to calm down. By then, many adventurers had felt the threat to their lives, but they mistakenly believed that the threat came from other monsters. Seeing Song Jian suddenly escape, some quick-thinking adventurers instantly realized that the area they were in was the biggest threat.

Immediately, one adventurer after another employed their methods, with some using their Acceleration Skills meant for life-saving escapes, sparing no effort to get away.

In just a few seconds, more than a dozen adventurers had left the spot, leaving only some who hadn't reacted yet, looking around foolishly. These were the adventurers with weaker perceptions who only had a vague unease, but did not sense the imminent threat to their lives.

Duo Tuo Luo, upon seeing Song Jian deploying Flame Light Wings and instantly moving a hundred meters away, was so frightened his face turned pale. He was the first to react and scrambled toward the direction where Song Jian had fled.

Originally, Duo Tuo Luo's appearance was that of a burly, strapping man, but only upon actual interaction would one discover that this guy had more than one Acceleration Skill for escaping. Just on his way out, he used three different Acceleration Skills and was also skilled in two defensive skills to increase his own defenses and resistance. When it came to saving himself, Duo Tuo Luo definitely had plenty of experience!

“Huff, huff~” Duo Tuo Luo, with a face full of cold sweat, sat down on the sandy ground not far from Song Jian, looking at him resentfully and said, “You, if you were gonna run, at least give me a heads up. This was so abrupt, my little heart can't take it, oh my, what exactly did you find? What is it that's threatening us?”

Duo Tuo Luo's perception was not weak; he was probably one of the first to sense the danger, but he did not know where the danger was coming from. However, he was very good at clinging to the strong. Seeing Song Jian escape, he didn't say a word and followed closely behind Song Jian, becoming the second adventurer to escape the dangerous area.

Song Jian gestured with his mouth toward where Tugu Man was and said, “I felt something was off about Tugu Man all along, but I didn't expect his goal was to kill us and collect enough Soul Energy to enter the Tower of Slaughter…”

“Has he gone mad?” Duo Tuo Luo showed a look of surprise on his face, turning his head to look at Tugu Man. At that moment, Tugu Man's body was starting to emit a faint black aura, a clear sign of him exerting a certain skill so intensely that he couldn't control the power within his body, resulting in the leakage of his aura.

“Doesn't he fear being discovered, using such tactics to entrap adventurers will surely get him wanted by the Adventurer's Guild, and besides, the son of the Count, Xi Lin, is right beside him. Is he planning to kill him too?” Duo Tuo Luo looked at Tugu Man with the eyes of one looking at a madman, surprised, “Offending the Adventurer's Guild might still allow for escape, but offending the Count means there's nowhere to run to, no matter where on earth, unless… damn it, he's betraying humanity!”

Duo Tuo Luo seemed to guess something, his face changing color drastically. In this world, there were too many who betrayed their own race. As humans, for various reasons, they transformed into other species, giving up their human identity. Such people were known as “race traitors.”

Seeing many people leave the spot, Tugu Man's face suddenly turned ugly, but the “Spiritual Incantation Skill – Ghost Shadow Scream Kill,” once released, was hard to stop. If he stopped midway, he would suffer severe backlash, and at that point, even if the backlash didn't kill him, he would be lynched to death by the surrounding people who had reacted.

“Damn it!” Tugu Man cursed inwardly, but his Spiritual Incantation Skill was still fully released. A series of barely audible ghostly wails began to rise around, and streams of grey essence started to appear out of nowhere, swirling rapidly around the area.

“Tugu, Tugu Man, what the hell is going on?” Xi Lin suddenly noticed that the temperature around seemed to have dropped tens of degrees in an instant, turning from hot summer into a chilling winter. She felt a bone-chilling cold on her exposed skin.

One must know, this was Scorching Gorge, where the temperature never dropped below forty degrees year-round, and now, Xi Lin had even noticed a thin layer of gray frost forming on the ground.

The surrounding adventurers seemed to have also sensed something amiss, and began to furiously berate Tugu Man, some even drawing their weapons, eyeing Tugu Man with a wary face.

“Tugu Man, what are you trying to do, do you want to kill us all?”

“Tugu Man, did you orchestrate all of this, why would you do such a thing!”

Even now, there were some who still couldn't believe that Tugu Man wanted to kill everyone. They surrounded him, but just then, suddenly, translucent white skeletal arms emerged from the ground, gripping the adventurers' legs firmly.

“Ghost Shadows, Wail of Slaughter!” Tugu Man finally uttered the last syllable, his face instantly contorted with ugliness. This act cost him thirty years of his life. He now appeared with white hair and a wrinkled face, his body stooped, seemingly transformed into a man over sixty years old in an instant.

With clouded eyes, Tugu Man turned to Xi Lin beside him and revealed a sinister smile, whispering, “Young master Xi Lin, the Three-tailed Fire Scorpion you wanted, I'm afraid you'll have to catch it in Hell!”

“Tugu Man, you've betrayed the Count's estate, my father will surely send someone to hunt you down…” Xi Lin seemed to have also realized. From initially proposing to capture the Three-tailed Fire Scorpion to assembling such an adventurer team, behind all this was Tugu Man, pushing his agenda forward. His ultimate goal was to kill everyone at this moment as a sacrificial gift to open the gateway to the Tower of Slaughter.

An icy chill crept up from Xi Lin's lower legs, quickly permeating his whole body, turning his complexion deathly pale while he trembled slightly. With his power, he simply couldn't resist such an enormously powerful skill.

The other adventurers also found themselves in peril. Some used their trump cards, shattering the ghostly hands binding their legs in an attempt to escape, but after just a few steps, they were caught by countless ghostly hands again, entangled in an endless struggle.

Wails and howls like that of ghosts and wolves rose in everyone's ears, causing disturbance and confusion. It felt as if a heavy stone were pressing on their chests, making even breathing difficult.

“Tugu Man, you will not die a good death…” shouted an adventurer suddenly, spitting out blood and collapsing limply, immediately seized by dozens of ghostly hands. His body visibly disintegrated at a rate visible to the naked eye, turning into a pool of blood.

One by one, the adventurers perished miserably. Xi Lin's body flickered with light, the ring on his finger, the necklace around his neck, the ornaments shattered one after the other. These were all nature-defensive amulets, but against the powerful Spiritual Incantation Skill, they could only withstand for a few seconds before their strength was depleted.

As the last necklace shattered, a ghostly old man appeared in mid-air, staring at Tugu Man and shouting fiercely, “Whoever you are, harming a direct descendant of the Averill Clan will incur everlasting pursuit!”

At that moment, a searing mark was branded onto Tugu Man's forehead. It was the Averill Clan's mark of pursuit, only removable by someone stronger than Count Aiwail. Considering that Count Aiwail was a Legendary Level powerhouse, dispelling the mark he cast was impossible for someone of Tugu Man's strength.
