I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Entering the Great Hall

Song Jian looked at the giant black ghost boss, who was actually swinging at one of the meteors in the Seven Stars Sword Array, and a cold smile appeared in the corner of his mouth.

“This is a sword array that only a middle-level Sword Array Master can create. Its power is comparable to the full blow of seven Swordmasters with Tier-One Combat Power. How can you withstand it on your own?”

These seven meteors were the core of the Seven Stars Sword Array. Each one contained hundreds of fierce Sword Qi, which even Swordmasters with Tier-One Combat Power dared not confront head-on. They could only retreat.

Boom~

The fist of the black ghost boss, and the bright silver meteor falling above his head, collided fiercely. The air immediately exploded with a violent tremor. An invisible surge of energy spread in all directions, like a whirlwind. This meteor suddenly glowed, just like a full moon emitting a silvery radiance.

The ghost boss let out a mournful howl, seemingly severely wounded. In an instant, the silvery moon above its head shattered into hundreds of Sword Qi, swooping towards the boss.

Thump thump thump thump~

Wounds exploded continuously on the boss’s body, releasing a dense black aura. A damage value in the hundreds floated above its head. For a while, the boss couldn’t fight back against the Sword Qi, and could only endure the hits with its enormous body.

The remaining six meteors also fell towards the ground one after another, and the ghosts that came into contact with them were crushed into dust without being able to resist.

Boom!

The six silver meteors exploded almost simultaneously. The ground blossomed with six full moons, spreading out their silvery light like the day while Song Jian rushed towards the main hall in front of him.

When the six meteors splintered apart, thousands of Sword Qi nearly covered an area of four to five hundred meters. All the ghosts within this range were hit by over a dozen Sword Qi without having time to react; they were instantly annihilated.

Any Sword Qi approaching Song Jian seemed to have its own consciousness, actively evading him, passing by his side in an arc to pursue the ghosts.

Song Jian’s Experience Points surged forward drastically. Then a ray of light erupted from his body: He had directly leveled up.

“Level 31! This leveling speed is like riding a rocket! Too bad the cost is slightly high!” Song Jian thought ruefully.

Making the Seven Stars Sword Array was somewhat difficult. This one-off array had powerful might, but only a handful of people in Qingyun Sword Sect could actually create it;

So far, Song Jian had only made one set. If he hadn’t wanted to test its power today, he wouldn’t have dared to use it.

The power of the Seven Stars Sword Array satisfied him, but when he thought about the production cost, Song Jian couldn’t help but wince. If converted into Doomsday Coins, the cost of such a set of Seven Stars Sword Array would be at least over half a million. Ordinary people could hardly afford it. Even if they forcibly obtained a set, they would only use it as a trump card to save their lives. They wouldn’t use it to fight monsters and level up. That would be too extravagant!

In an instant, all the ghosts within a few hundred meters were wiped out cleanly. The remaining dozen or so Sword Qi, lacking attack targets, surprisingly turned back and flew towards the black ghost boss;

Thump thump thump~

Dozens of Sword Qi chopped the black ghost boss again, the surrounding Sword Qi having been consumed, and the boss, full of wounds from which black energy was continuously seeping, became the only surviving monster.

The boss was a sorry sight. When it looked at Song Jian’s retreating figure, its blood-red eyes showed a hint of fear and panic. It hesitated whether to continue pursuit.

At this moment, Song Jian had already rushed into the main hall, which was half buried in sand and gravel, and disappeared. The ghost boss seemed to sigh in relief, and let out a roar in the direction of the main hall before transforming back into a ball of black fog and disappearing underground;

…

Jian Qi and Chang Qinghe successfully broke into the main hall. Before they could celebrate, they heard the howls of a large group of ghosts coming from outside the hall.

The two looked at each other in unease, uncertainty in their hearts.

“Is this commotion a bit too big? It seems like the ghosts in the whole area have been enraged. Could it be that our junior brother is now fighting with all the ghosts besides the black ghost boss?” Jian Qi said in surprise.

“As long as the boss appears, all the ghosts in this area will go berserk. If we don’t run away in time, I’m afraid we’ll never get another chance to…” Chang Qinghe sighed, with a hint of coldness appearing at the corner of his mouth;

“Hehe, it would be a good thing if he did something useful before dying!” Jian Qi laughed. “Brother, the interior of this main hall is vast. Why don’t we split up to search?”

“Okay, you go left, I’ll go right. An hour should be enough to search the entire main hall. Then, we can meet back here.” Chang Qinghe nodded and agreed.

“Then I wish my brother all the best in finding the treasure he desires!” Jian Qi gave Chang Qinghe a salute with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and then he dashed towards the left annex hall;

There were plenty of ghosts guarding outside the main hall, so it wouldn’t be empty of monsters inside. But both men clearly didn’t want to stick together. Instead of being on guard against each other, it would be better to go their separate ways. Even if they found something valuable, the other wouldn’t know about it.

Chang Qinghe watched Jian Qi’s figure disappear, then rather than rushing to the right passage, he began to observe the arrangement of the surrounding hall.

After searching for a while and gaining nothing, Chang Qinghe shook his head, heading towards the left passage. His figure quickly disappeared from sight.

Not long after the two disappeared, Song Jian entered the main hall.

“Heh, that boss only has one-third of its Vitality Points left. If I grind for another half an hour, I can definitely kill it…” Song Jian thought to himself. “But the most important thing now is to search this Sword Control Hall. I always feel that there is some connection between this place and my profession…”

Song Jian did not want any treasure related to his vocation to be seized by Chang Qinghe and Jian Qi because of one boss.

The hall he had just entered was covered by sand up to one-third of its area. Apart from several standing stone pillars, there was only a stone statue standing upright in the front. It seemed to be a human statue, but unfortunately, half of the statue had cracked open, looking rather broken. Other than that, there were no other items, making it seem rather empty. Song Jian thoroughly searched and tapped on each pillar. There was nothing unusual, so he shook his head and walked towards the passage on the left of the hall.
