I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 668: Chapter 668: Joining Hands

No one knew what had happened, but just as Chang Qinghe was about to enter the pyramid, he seemed to realize something and began to struggle violently.

“It appears that this abyss creature isn’t that powerful either, letting the meat that was at its mouth fly away…” A sneer appeared on Song Jian’s face.

Abyss Temptation would increase over time, the fascinating effect getting stronger and stronger. Once one couldn’t break free at the initial seduction, it would be hard to get rid of later.

However, surprisingly, Chang Qinghe began to break free just as he was about to enter the pyramid;

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the river phantom, condensed by Sword Qi, behind Chang Qinghe completely shattered. The rampant Sword Qi filled almost the entire valley. Flowers, plants, and trees were shredded into fragments by the Sword Qi in an instant. Even the black pyramid was left with countless white traces from swords, and the entire pyramid rumbled tremulously.

“Who’s fooling around? Show yourself!” Anger flashed in Chang Qinghe’s eyes. Upon entering this strange space, his mind had been manipulated, leaving a massive vulnerability in his spirit. To improve his cultivation in the future, the energy and time required would multiply.

After unleashing all his power, the burden on Chang Qinghe was also tremendous. At this moment, he, panting heavily, stared at the black pyramid ahead, a trace of fear in his eyes.

“Mortal, submit to me, and I will bestow you with immense power. You will become the ruler of this continent!” A hundred-meter tall phantom of a colossal demon loomed over the black pyramid.

This demon possessed all the characteristics of an Abyssal Demon, radiating black abyssal aura. As soon as the phantom appeared, Song Jian’s face suddenly changed. From this Abyssal Demon, he felt an infinite Abyssal Power;

“This, this isn’t an ordinary Abyssal Demon, this is an Abyssal Demon Lord… ” Song Jian said in surprise.

You should know that the limit of an ordinary Abyssal Demon’s power is simply first-tier Combat Power. However, the Abyssal Demon Lords, in the Abyssal Lands, rule vast territories and their power is at least of the second-tier Peak Combat Power. The stronger ones can even reach the third-tier Combat Power, and they are absolutely invincible to the current Song Jian.

“Just this phantom alone emits such a powerful aura, reaching the peak of first-tier Combat Power. Such a powerful being, how on earth was it sealed here?” Song Jian was astonished.

“Human, you cannot resist the will of Lord Soloer. Submit to me, and you will gain even greater power!” The Abyssal Demon phantom laughed wildly, pointing a finger at Chang Qinghe. Countless black abyssal auras gathered at his fingertips, and in an instant, these black auras intertwined and turned into two black chains that entwined towards Chang Qinghe.

“Abyssal Chains~” Song Jian’s eyes narrowed, this skill seemed universal amongst all high-level Abyssal beings. When used to restrain someone weaker than themselves, it was almost invariably successful. Furthermore, this skill seemed to have a certain chance to hit directly, making it extremely challenging to dodge.

“Using this on Chang Qinghe seems like a bit of an overkill. I wonder if this Abyssal Demon Lord has lost his senses due to being imprisoned for too long or is just overly confident!” Song Jian murmured to himself.

Chang Qinghe’s displayed strength had already reached the peak of first-tier Combat Power. The Abyssal Temptation couldn’t hold him, let alone the Abyssal Chains.

As expected, as soon as the two Abyssal Chains bound Chang Qinghe, without much effort, he directly broke free from the restraints of the Abyssal Chains.

“Abyssal Demon…” Chang Qinghe seemed to have also recognized the identity of the floating phantom above the pyramid. After hesitating for a moment, he actually turned around and sprinted towards the passage he had just entered.

Abyssal creatures liked to invade other worlds. Almost all worlds discovered and targeted by them couldn’t escape their clutches. Evidently, this trial world was also one of the objectives of the Abyssal creatures. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The imprisoned Abyssal Demon Lord in this black pyramid had comparable strength to Chang Qinghe, just from a phantom. Its actual body must be inconceivably powerful.

Although its actual body had been sealed, who knew how long the effects of this Sealed Tower could last after all this time?

“It seems that it won’t be long before this Abyssal Demon can break free!” Chang Qinghe thought to himself.

It already can emit its own aura, making it clear, that this sealed tower, before long, would lose its sealing effect.

“We are too close to the Qingyun Sword Sect here. Once this demon breaks free, it would need a countless amount of human souls and flesh to recover its strength; the Qingyun Sword Sect would be its first target. I must rush back to the sect and report this to the Master,” thought Chang Qinghe anxiously.

“We can’t let him escape just like that!” Song Jian stared at the figure of Chang Qinghe, murmuring under his breath.

Once Chang Qinghe got back to the Qingyun Sword Sect, not only would the news of the Abyssal Demon Lord spread across the entire mainland, but Song Jian’s identity would also be revealed to everyone. Then, traversing this world would become impossible for him. The difficulty of his assessment task would increase a hundredfold, a thousandfold. Hence, Song Jian absolutely would not let Chang Qinghe escape this place alive.

Suddenly, Song Jian employed the Sword Shadow Step and charged towards Chang Qinghe’s location.

Sword Control Skill!

Shrr Shrr Shrr~

Three long swords, gleaming with Golden Sword Qi made a sharp piercing sound in the air, heading straight towards Chang Qinghe.

“Song Jian!” Chang Qinghe roared. Once this Abyssal Demon broke free, not only the Qingyun Sword Sect, but it would be a catastrophe for the entire mainland. An Abyssal Demon with second-tier peak combat power would virtually be invincible within a range of thousands of miles. No individuals or sects could stand a chance against it. Thousands upon thousands of people would die innocently due to the breakout of this Abyssal Demon.

That’s why he would rather abandon Duan Wudi’s inheritance and leave this place.

But all this was irrelevant to Song Jian. Getting into this world had just been part of his trial quest.

Chang Qinghe also understood this, so he didn’t bother to extensively engage with Song Jian, and as he fended off the three long swords’ attacks, he strived to run towards the passage. The moment he got into the passage, he could leave this sealed land.

The actions of Song Jian had taken the sealed Abyssal Demon by surprise, but the demon laughed uproariously in no time, combining two abyssal chains and winding them around Chang Qinghe.

Seeing the Abyssal Chains, Chang Qinghe changed color and yelled to Song Jian, “The Abyssal Demon is an enemy to humanity, Song Jian, colluding with it won’t end well for you too!”

Flash Thunder Strike!

Sword Silk!

Broken Wing Dance!

…

The three long swords sometimes split apart, chopping at Chang Qinghe from different positions and angles with different sword strokes, and at other times, they regrouped into one long sword to inflict three times the damage on Chang Qinghe.

Moreover, with the Abyssal Chains wrapping round him, there was no chance for Chang Qinghe to break into the passage.

“Song Jian, it won’t be easy for you either. Colluding with the Abyssal Demon, you’ll become an Abyssal Demon yourself, and live worse than dead!” Chang Qinghe roared defiantly, struggling fiercely. This time, however, he just couldn’t break free from the Abyssal Chains. Song Jian’s eyes flashed with intent to kill, and the three long swords constantly aimed at Chang Qinghe’s vital points.
