I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 528: Death Thorn

Tang Ming’s black robe, resembling bat wings, was spread out behind him, but it was clearly torn in a few places, and the edges of the robe bore scorch marks;

At this point, Tang Ming had only less than 60% of his Vitality Points left. His face was filled with rage, gritting his teeth at Song Jian;

Despite his serious injuries, Tang Ming didn’t mind, even if he had to abandon his body, Tang Ming could exist in another form.

But the safe house was destroyed, especially the laboratory, the set of equipment that had been painstakingly collected was utterly destroyed, this was what truly caused Tang Ming indescribable pain;

“I am going to kill you, I am going to kill you, I’ll show you the miserable fate of angering a Death Summoner!” Tang Ming roared, starting to chant the incantation of Death Magic, while his Bone Wand also started to emit a grey glow.

“Death Thorn, seize the life of the enemy before me!” Tang Ming whispered, pointing his Bone Wand to the ground;

Whoosh~

A burst of breaking soil sounded, a rich aura of death pierced the sky, like a black beam of light, then, this black beam of light started to twist, as if a black serpent was waking up.

Whoosh~

The black beam violently sprouted numerous tentacles, turning into a huge thorn vine. At the tip of this barrel-thick vine, a mouth filled with fangs extended a blood-red tongue at Song Jian;

Whoosh~

This vine, filled with the Force of Death, was covered in over a foot-long sharp spikes. Dancing, these spikes easily scratched deep marks on the walls of the houses around, looking sturdier than metal.

“What on earth is this?” Song Jian frowned slightly, he suddenly felt, some vaguely malicious energy and bodies were closing in on him.

Vertical eye!

Between Song Jian’s eyebrows, a silver-eye opened, looking around;

Indeed, around Song Jian, transparent human-shaped souls were slowly clustering towards his position, these souls with grimaces and full of madness and greed, all absent of intelligence;

“Is this the ghost monster Tang Ming mentioned?” Song Jian whispered.

“Death Soul, Level 25, Vitality Points: 3000/3000, characteristics: immune to physical attacks;”

“Song Jian, you can’t escape!” Tang Ming clenched his fist fiercely, the Death Thorn vine let out a sharp roar and rushed quickly towards Song Jian;

Whoosh~

Like a black python, the Thorn vine almost slid on the ground, leaving deep marks on it;

Song Jian advanced instead of retreating, holding his sword with both hands and raising it above his head, the dark red sword emanated a dazzling golden glow.

Light Strike!

With a stern shout, Song Jian’s long sword violently chopped forward, sending a burst of dazzling golden Sword Qi, wave-like, chopping towards the Death Thorn vine;

At the moment the golden Sword Qi burst, the Death Souls around Song Jian suddenly let out a sharp scream, as if they had encountered something terrifying and scattered in fright, some slower Death Souls started to phase out, like they were made of wax;

The golden Sword Qi easily pierced through the defense of the Death Thorn vine, almost severing it completely. Thick black blood spurted out like a spring from the wound, the Death Thorn vine writhed violently and let out a series of mournful screams;

“Divine Power? Hmph, do you think those gods are really reliable? Only death is the true eternity!” Tang Ming let out a roar, waved his Bone Wand, and fired a Shadow Arrow at Song Jian.

Sacred Parry!

Song Jian placed his long sword horizontally in front of his chest. A sphere of energy emitting gray light came crashing towards him. He violently shook as a golden light flashed, and his body tumbled backwards onto the ground in a stable manner.

The Shadow Arrow disappeared. Moments later, where the arrow and sword had collided, another Shadow Arrow materialized out of thin air and shot towards Tang Ming.

A surprised look flashed across Tang Ming’s face. He looked somewhat flustered.

Bang!

An energy arrow emitting gray light appeared in front of Tang Ming instantly, piercing his chest fiercely.

Tang Ming’s body slightly shivered. A corrosive sensation came from his chest. A mouthful of fresh blood welled up, but he forcefully swallowed it down. However, a trickle of black blood slowly seeped out from the corner of his mouth.

Flash Thunder Strike!

Song Jian cast a brief glance at Tang Ming who was suspended mid-air. He leapt up, his long sword lit up with lightning. Three flashes of Sword Qi fiercely hacked at the Death Thorn vines. The already dying Death Thorns split into two sections.

The bisected Death Thorn vines didn’t die immediately. Instead, like snakes, both sections kept jumping on the ground. The front section even had a large mouth. It attempted to bite Song Jian, but Song Jian sent it flying with a slash of his sword.

Seeing that the Death Thorn was of no use, Tang Ming’s face darkened. He waved his Bone Wand fiercely. A heavy death energy radiated from him, gathering into large patches of black fog in mid-air.

“This is my home ground!”

Tang Ming waved his Bone Wand, pointed at Song Jian. The black fog above his head immediately began to churn like boiling water. Within the fog, appeared to be a huge monster swimming around.

“Hmph, you’re trying to fool me!” Song Jian sneered coldly, leaped forward with his steel wings spread out, and charged at Tang Ming with his sword.

Bang!

Song Jian’s dark red long sword violently collided with Tang Ming’s Bone Wand. Song Jian used the force in his arms to push against Tang Ming.

At this point, Song Jian’s power had already surpassed fifty points. Not to mention Tang Ming’s role of a mage, even a melee role with strength as the main attribute might not be as strong as Song Jian.

With the long sword pressing against the Bone Wand, it slashed towards Tang Ming.

“Oh, quite strong, aren’t you?”

Looking at the long sword just a few centimeters from his face, Tang Ming could feel the chill coming from the blade of Song Jian’s Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword. But he didn’t seem flustered in the slightest. He met Song Jian’s eyes with a teasing look.

A sudden fear swept over Song Jian. He quickly used the “Foot Kick” skill and kicked Tang Ming’s lower abdomen hard, then jumped back with a flutter of his steel wings.

Just as he jumped backward in mid-air, the black cloud above him suddenly twisted into a black skeletal Giant Dragon. The sharp claws fiercely scratched at the place where Song Jian had previously stood.

Just when the claws of the skeletal Giant Dragon were about to touch Song Jian’s body, his steel wings flipped, drawing an arc in the air and avoiding the attack.

“Thinking of dodging now? Isn’t it a bit late?” Tang Ming looked at Song Jian’s figure in the air and quickly uttered a few syllables.

The black skeletal Giant Dragon, over ten meters long, flipped in the air and pounced at Song Jian.
