I have an Apocalypse City Chapter 1474

Chapter 1474: Chapter 1476: The Fog Giant Chapter 1474: Chapter 1476: The Fog Giant Song Jian and his companions practiced Sword Flight Art, chasing after the void mantis, but they hadn't expected that one of the Legendary Realm powerhouses, seeing their pursuit, felt dissatisfied and directly attacked them.

Countless black fog emerged from the void, condensing into each other and transforming into a black giant that blocked everyone's path.

“A Fog Giant, a Summoning spell curse of the primary level, it's the weakest among the giant creatures of the Summoning type!” Guo Xiao's eyes revealed a cautious expression as he spoke loudly.

In the family of giant creature Summonings, there are dozens of types, such as Water Giants, Fire Giants, Earth Giants, Metal Giants, and Ancient War Trees, all belonging to the giant creature Summoning category. Even Song Jian's Golden Giant Gulu, if not for being a combat pet, could be counted as one of the Summoning giant types.

The Summoning spells of the giant creature family hardly differ, only varying in strength depending on the giant summoned. The Fog Giant is probably the weakest among all Summoned Giants, but it has a unique characteristic, which is the ability to fly in the void.

It's difficult for other giants to fly, but the Fog Giant is essentially a cloud of smoke, able to drift with the wind. Naturally, it can also fly in the sky, and being able to gather and disperse at will, it has a certain degree of resistance to physical attacks. Its weakness, however, lies in its low intrinsic attributes, having the least Vitality amongst all Summoned Giants, and its attack damage is also the lowest.

“Blazing Sunlight, Ten Thousand Swords Returning to Ancestry!” Guo Xiao roared as he tossed his long sword into the sky. Instantly, a dazzling golden light burst forth, as if it were as bright as the sun itself.

In an instant, countless one-foot-long flames flew out from this sun-like light, like flying swords, heading straight for the Fog Giant.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
The flying swords easily penetrated the Fog Giant's body, with each sword poking a large hole in it. In just a short while, the Fog Giant looked like a ragged toy riddled with holes, seemingly about to dissipate at any moment.

“Brother Guo is mighty!” Chen Yang and Zhao Hai's eyes brightened from behind, as Guo Xiao's move, in both spectacle and power, far surpassed ordinary skills. It was Guo Xiao's secret ace, and unexpectedly, he used it right from the start.

A smug smile appeared on Guo Xiao's face as he glanced at Song Jian. With a beckoning motion of his right hand, the orb of golden light above his head instantly transformed back into a long sword and flew into his palm.

“It was nothing more than a minor trick, which seems rather presumptuous in front of Brother Song!” Guo Xiao smiled slightly and sheathed the long sword into his sleeve as he spoke.

Song Jian watched intently. While Guo Xiao's move bore a resemblance to the Thousand Swords Art, when it came to power, it was nowhere near the Thousand Swords Art.

The Fog Giant in front of them only possessed the combat power of a Third-tier Peak, but Guo Xiao's move wasn't even close to severely injuring the opponent. As one could see, the numerous large holes on the Fog Giant were rapidly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. After all, it was just a cloud of smoke; even if completely dispersed, it could recondense. Much like the stone creature Gulu, unless its core was utterly destroyed, it would be impossible to kill.

“Brother Guo, your move looks impressive, but it seems to lack power. Look at that creature, it has completely healed!” Xin Ling pointed at the Fog Giant, which had shrunk somewhat, and spoke up loudly.

Guo Xiao's expression changed as he stared at the Fog Giant, his brow slightly furrowing, “It seems impossible to annihilate it instantly; we can only deplete its energy. After executing the move a few times and draining it completely, it can be considered killed. However, the move consumes a lot of energy. Even if I could kill this Fog Giant, I might not have the strength left to fight for the Mist Shadow Bead of the Sky-breaking Beast…”
An indecisive look appeared on Guo Xiao's face. Weighing his options, he looked at Chen Yang and Zhao Hai, sending them a meaningful look, hoping they would join forces in attacking the Fog Giant.

Song Jian took a glance and said with a smile, “Let me do it. We don't have much time left. That void mantis is adept at escaping; if it gets away, all our efforts will be in vain!”

As he spoke, Song Jian beckoned with his right hand, and a dazzling light flashed in his palm–the Sky-breaking Sword was firmly gripped in his hand.

“Thousand Swords Art, Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation!”

With a low shout, thousands of Spirit Swords densely appeared around his body, and Spirit Swords burning with dark red flames made Guo Xiao and the others' faces change drastically, as they quickly distanced themselves from Song Jian.

From these Spirit Swords, they felt a strong threat, and there were so many swords occupying too much space. Within a radius of forty to fifty meters around Song Jian, there were nothing but Spirit Swords.

“Go!”

With a light cry, countless Spirit Swords glided through the air like swimming fish, tracing arcs through the sky. As soon as they approached the Mist Giant, the Spirit Swords began to merge with each other, evolving into a dark red lotus flower!

The lotus flower slowly opened and enveloped the entire Mist Giant, burning fiercely with pure purifying power, continuously eroding the body of the Mist Giant.

Then, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus slowly closed again, completely wrapping the Mist Giant. Inside the formation, roars could be heard alongside the blazing flames. In a short while, the petals of the closed Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation began to slowly shed from the edges, scattering around and gradually vanishing. Before long, the entire Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation disappeared, and in its place, a nail-sized black bead floated in mid-air, twinkling brightly.

“Hiss~!”

Guo Xiao drew in a sharp breath of air. From the deployment of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation to its disappearance, killing the Mist Giant had taken less than ten seconds. This efficiency was unsettling upon reflection!

“To kill a Mist Giant with third-tier peak combat power in just ten seconds–if he were to kill us, it would probably take him less than ten seconds!” Guo Xiao thought to himself, a chill rising in his heart as he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear towards Song Jian.

Song Jian smiled faintly. As his strength increased, his control over the Thousand Swords Art had also become more intuitive, no longer leaving the Sword Formation up to the Sword Spirit of the Sky-breaking Sword. Now, he could control any Sword Formation evolved by the Thousand Swords Art at will, without waiting for the formations to evolve on their own. This greatly sped up the formation's coalescence, shortened the opponent's reaction time, and left the opponent no time to respond before being entrapped by the Sword Formation.

“Mist Shadow Bead, it can be exchanged for two hundred merits, not bad at all!” Song Jian held the black bead left by the Mist Giant and smiled, “Junior Brother Guo, I'll hold onto this spoil of war for now. How about we divide it later?”

Guo Xiao waved his hands repeatedly, laughing, “Senior Brother Song, you are too kind. You killed it on your own, so the spoils should belong to you alone. We'll distribute according to contribution for those we kill together!”

“Yes, Senior Brother, you take it. Don't you still owe a thousand merits? The little merit we'd get from dividing this wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps in our teeth. The big prize is more important!” Xin Ling reminded him.

“Right, we should speed up then. We can't let others steal the eyes of the Sky-breaking Beast!” Song Jian put away the Mist Shadow Bead. This object couldn't be taken out of the secret realm; it could only be exchanged for merits, and then those merits exchanged for treasures that could be taken out.

The group hastened their pace, and shortly after, the sound of battle roared ahead. Song Jian's eyes lit up–it seemed that the Legendary Realm powerhouses had already caught up to the Void Mantis and were engaging it in battle.

“Good, we're not too late. Let's hide on the side for now and decide what to do after they finish fighting!” Song Jian said with a smile, and then he and his companions slowly descended from the air, sneaking towards the commotion ahead.
