I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1147

Chapter 1147: Chapter 1149: Skull Crusher_1 Chapter 1147: Chapter 1149: Skull Crusher_1 Song Jian's face lit up with a smile, and he nodded at the young girl, saying, “In that case, it wouldn't be too late to go to the hot spring after I win ten consecutive battles!”

The girl let out a sigh of relief, finally able to settle her heart back in her stomach. If Song Jian had insisted on going to the hot springs, her end would have been incredibly miserable.

Just then, an Abyssal demon with a microphone and black flames burning on its body stood in the center of the arena, with a corpse lying at its feet. This was a challenger who wanted to achieve a winning streak, but unfortunately, he had only lasted two rounds before his opponent smashed half of his body.

The arena at that moment was filled with a thick smell of blood, but the Abyssal demon that stepped up seemed to enjoy the scent. Standing in front of the corpse, it took a deep breath with an intoxicated look on its face.

Its expression made the surrounding spectators very unhappy, with each face turning as dark and terrible as can be. Fortunately, this Abyssal demon still had some sense and did not continue to provoke the psychological limits of the surrounding audience.

“Ladies and gentlemen, contenders, the next battle is about to begin!” the Abyssal demon scanned the people crowding around the arena, its ferocious face revealing a hint of a cold smile.

“The next battle will see a new challenger taking the stage, and his opponent will be a warlord from Abyssal Hell, Skulcrusher!” the Abyssal demon roared, looking quite excited.

“Skulcrusher? Is Skulcrusher entering the first match?” a spectator exclaimed in surprise, murmuring among themselves.

“Looks like it's another challenger being targeted by the Abyssal demons. A warlord from Abyssal Hell could well serve as the guardian of the fifth or even the sixth match!”

“Hmph, last time Skulcrusher was the guardian of the seventh match. Its Flame Hammer skill can unleash the power equivalent to a medium-sized missile!”

“Respected guest, you may enter the arena now. The next match will be your battle!” the succubus said with a smile plastered all over her face.

Song Jian merely smiled slightly without speaking and with a push off his feet, his figure shot towards the center of the arena like an arrow and landed firmly on the stage.

At that moment, Li Qi, accompanied by several apprentices, had entered the colosseum. Seeing Song Jian leap onto the platform, Li Qi's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

“Weird, how come he got arranged for a battle as soon as he arrived? Normally, newcomers have to wait for at least three battles before they get a chance to fight,” Li Qi muttered under his breath.

“Senior brother, look quickly, his opponent is actually Skulcrusher!” An apprentice next to him tugged on Li Qi's sleeve, shouting in surprise.

“What? Skulcrusher? How is this possible, this is only his first match!” Li Qi stared, dumbfounded, as a massive figure appeared in the arena.

This was an Abyssal demon that stood over three meters tall, its body covered with dark red scales, looking like a humanoid lizard walking upright. Its entire body was clad in heavy chainmail armor, including its thick tail, which was tied with a chain ball bristling with spikes. With every step it took, the ground trembled slightly. The total weight of the demon along with its armor exceeded ten tons, making it look like a moving steel fortress!

In the right hand of this Abyssal demon, it held a steel flail over three meters long, which created a series of low sonic booms through the air when swung. An average person would hardly hope to leave behind a whole corpse if hit even once.

“Humans, fresh food!” Skulcrusher, the Abyssal demon, charged to the center of the arena, grabbed the human corpse left from the previous battle, and stuffed it into its gaping maw.

Watching the abyssal demon devour the corpse of the defeated in front of so many people ignited the fury of the spectators around the arena. They all began swearing loudly.

Song Jian's complexion turned particularly ugly. He knew this was the opponent's way of increasing psychological pressure, making those who saw the devoured corpse imagine themselves in the same situation. If they lost, they would likely face the same fate.

Considering the scene before them and then their own potential fate, probably nine out of ten people would be filled with fear, and their combat moves would be tentative and restrained.

But at that moment, Song Jian felt nothing but rage. He didn't wait for the so-called referee to start the match; he just raised his right hand and summoned the Sky-breaking Sword, charging straight at the Skull Breaker.

In the surveillance room, the man with glasses saw Song Jian summoning a long sword from his body, his complexion changed abruptly. He opened his mouth as if to say something but paused for a few seconds, turning his attention to Manager Mar. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he stroked his chin, regaining his composure.

As Song Jian rushed toward him, the Skull Breaker's eyes flashed with cunning. He threw the battered corpse in his hand directly at Song Jian.

Being of the same kind, Song Jian would certainly not slash the battered corpse with his sword. He could only dodge, thus giving the initiative back to the Skull Breaker. Confident in his steel flail, the Skull Breaker believed he could overwhelm his opponent with a barrage of attacks, leaving Song Jian powerless and eventually smashing his head.

However, just as the Skull Breaker was swinging his flail, ready to deal Song Jian a heavy blow, Song Jian's body suddenly moved through its solid state, becoming translucent in soul form. Activating the ability “Soul Wander,” he could pass through any obstacles for three seconds, and to gain the upper hand, he had employed the skill right from the start.

“What is this…?” The Skull Breaker hesitated, a look of confusion in his eyes. Clearly, it had never seen a skill like this before, but its fighting instincts didn't allow it to retreat. Instead, it roared and swung its steel flail, smashing it towards Song Jian with fury.

Song Jian didn't dodge or flinch. He thrust the Sky-breaking Sword in his hand like lightning towards the Skull Breaker's chest. The steel flail passed through Song Jian's translucent figure as if it had hit air, feeling no resistance at all.

Just as the Skull Breaker felt perplexed, a sharp pain suddenly pierced its chest. Looking down, it saw the sharp sword had pierced through its heavy scales and even its heart, with half the blade protruding from its back.

Song Jian had stabbed through the Skull Breaker's heart, and without pausing, his body followed the thrust of the Sky-breaking Sword, passing through the Skull Breaker's body.

The three seconds passed, and Song Jian was still in his soul form, though no longer able to freely pass through obstacles. Even so, in this soul state, he was immune to all damage except soul attacks.

The Skull Breaker, lacking the ability to attack the soul, could only frantically and ineffectively swing its steel flail at Song Jian. Meanwhile, Song Jian, like a bolt of lightning, circled the Skull Breaker, sword in hand.

Critical damage numbers floated up from the Skull Breaker's head. Its Vitality Points drained away like floodwater breaking through a dam. Song Jian's storm-like assault left the Skull Breaker with no chance to counter.

As the Soul Wander skill's brief duration came to an end, Song Jian's figure solidified again. He stood quietly in the arena, while the massive body of the Skull Breaker knelt before him, the steel flail lying discarded. The Skull Breaker had now become a cold corpse.

Song Jian's right hand swung forcefully, and a curved arc flashed across the Skull Breaker's neck. The large head soared into the air, the expression on its pallid face still one of disbelief.

The entire arena fell silent, and everyone stared at Song Jian, dumbfounded, as the memory of his furious assault replayed in their minds.
