I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1296

Chapter 1296: Chapter 1298 Dragon Soul Guard Chapter 1296: Chapter 1298 Dragon Soul Guard Song Jian's strength had somewhat exceeded Nuo Stan's expectations. In his eyes, Song Jian was simply a common human who hadn't even reached Tier 3 combat power.

Yet, to his surprise, this regular human being had battled with him for so long and even inflicted an injury on him. Though it wasn't serious, Nuo Stan felt it was the greatest insult to him.

The door to the last floor of the Sword Qi Stone Tower opened, and a suction force surged toward Nuo Stan. With a low snort, he casually pointed a finger, and the Sword Qi Stone Tower, which only had its last level remaining, exploded into pieces.

“Child's play…” Nuo Stan sneered. However, he suddenly felt an itch in his throat and couldn't help coughing twice, spraying blood-specked spittle. The hot breath quickly burned the blood clean in the air, but Nuo Stan's complexion grew even uglier.

Song Jian looked at Nuo Stan and sighed inwardly, “I'm simply no match for him!”

He had already released all of his most damaging attack skills, exploiting the opponent's underestimation to wound him. But if Song Jian were to use them again, he believed that Nuo Stan would easily break through his attacks. If Nuo Stan chose to dodge, he probably wouldn't even sustain a light injury.

The gap in strength and realm between the two men was too great. When Nuo Stan wasn't taking the battle seriously, Song Jian could take some advantage. But now, from the look in Nuo Stan's eyes, Song Jian could tell that he had begun to take him as a real opponent.

“This battle has gone on for so long; what are the Dragon Soul Guards of the Dragon Bone Wasteland doing? Have they not noticed anything amiss?” Thoughts raced through Song Jian's mind. Glancing at the increasingly intense aura of Nuo Stan, he had already started to consider escape routes.

The battle-experienced Nuo Stan, seeing Song Jian's expression, immediately understood what was on the other's mind and couldn't help but laugh coldly, “Thinking of running away now, isn't it a bit late?”

No sooner had he finished speaking than fierce purple flames burst into life around Nuo Stan's body, and an exquisite suit of armor appeared on him.

At the same time, countless Evil Flame Phoenix Feathers materialized out of thin air, floating around Nuo Stan's body. With a gesture of his right hand, the majority of the feathers flew towards him, forming a three-meter-long war bow in his hand. The bow appeared luxurious, as if a phoenix were spreading its wings soaring through the sky.

Some remaining Evil Flame Phoenix Feathers formed three long arrows that floated beside Nuo Stan. The arrowheads alone were over a foot long, and they were covered with fine barbs, resembling the fangs of wild beasts, emitting a frightening gleam.

“Since my awakening, you are the first enemy and the first real opponent I've encountered,” Nuo Stan said to Song Jian, enunciating each word, “As an opponent who managed to injure me, I will treat you with enough respect to use one hundred percent of my power to… kill you!”

Song Jian felt a tremor in his heart and was even thinking of escaping to the Shattered Divine Realm when suddenly, from afar, a dragon's roar sounded. Three huge Dragon Soul Guards, each over twenty meters tall, were swiftly flying their way.

Upon seeing the Dragon Soul Guards, a hint of joy appeared on Song Jian's face. Every one of these guards possessed the strength of the Legendary Realm. Even if they were not a match for Nuo Stan, they could certainly hold him off for some time.

“Blasphemer!” The leading Dragon Soul Guard roared. The previously clear sky suddenly churned with clouds, rapidly condensing into a thundercloud covering about one kilometer in range. Lightning flickered within the clouds like silver dragons, barely visible, while thunder boomed ominously, as if heralding a heavenly tribulation, radiating endless might.

“Leading with a forbidden spell?” Song Jian exclaimed in surprise, but soon, he discovered that the Dragon Soul Guard's sorcery also enveloped him, meaning, once the spell descended, he would share the same damage as Nuo Stan.

Nuo Stan gave Song Jian, his smile now frozen on his face, a glance and snorted lightly, “In the eyes of the Dragon Soul Guard, what's the difference between you and me?”

Only then did Song Jian realize, the Dragon Soul Guard was tasked with protecting the entire Dragon Bone Wasteland, and any creature other than the Dragon Clan was within its killing range.

Most importantly, after death, the self-awareness of the Dragon Soul Guard would slowly fade over time, ultimately becoming nothing more than a combat automaton that only knew how to fight, eventually attacking anything other than the Giant Dragon Clan without discrimination, unaware of even the commands of the dragon priests.

To avoid being attacked by the Dragon Soul Guard, one needed to enter the Dragon Bone Wasteland in the same way as before, escorted by a Giant Dragon. But now, the Black Dragon was so drunk as to be unconscious, and even if Song Jian released it from the Pet Space, it likely wouldn't be recognized by the Dragon Soul Guard.

The Dragon Soul Guard might even assume that Song Jian had harmed the Black Dragon, and in turn, attack even more fiercely.

“Damn it, how could this happen!” Song Jian cursed under his breath. With a thought, he suddenly vanished from the spot.

Nuo Stan, who had been looking forward to witnessing Song Jian's downfall, was momentarily stunned. He recalled that Song Jian had previously used this very move to escape a fatal attack. Nuo Stan had found it odd at the time. The man didn't seem to know deep space magic, so how had he dodged an attack from a fireball over ten meters in diameter so swiftly?

Sensing the space fluctuations around him, Nuo Stan's eyes betrayed a hint of confusion, “This isn't teleportation, nor is it entering another plane. This spatial vibration, why does it feel like he entered the Star Realm?”

“It's impossible. How could a mere human have the privilege of entering the Star Realm? Could it be that he is a follower specially favored by a deity?” Nuo Stan's eyes were filled with doubt and suspicion. If that were the case, killing him might provoke a deity.

Although Nuo Stan was confident in his own abilities, he knew he was no match for a deity. Just any deity focusing their gaze on him would cause trouble enough, not to mention their followers, who alone could make trouble for him that he couldn't escape from!

“Hmph, what of deities? Once I regain my strength and find the Eye of Phoenix Ancestor, then all the gods in the heavens will bow before my Phoenix Dance Demonic Flame!” Nuo Stan stared at the spot where Song Jian had disappeared, snorting coldly. As for the Dragon Soul Guard's attack, Nuo Stan didn't take it seriously, not even bothering to look up.

Boom, boom, boom~
Thunderous roars echoed from the sky, lightning flashing as it struck relentlessly towards the ground. Nuo Stan stood erect, defiant, his gaze towards the three Dragon Soul Guards filled with disdain and contempt.
