Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Escaped Unexpectedly

Translator: 549690339

With barely any resistance, a glittering silver sword stroke sailed effortlessly through, severing the right arm of the Armored Zombie at the elbow.

Clang-

The severed arm fell to the ground, making a sound akin to a metallic impact. “Can’t believe it’s this powerful?” Song Jian expressed his surprise.

He knew that even though the physical defense of the Armored Zombie had dropped by 35%, compared to an ordinary tenth-level elite boss, its defense was much stronger. He hadn’t expecting that the ability “Sword Finger” would directly cut off its arm.

Taking advantage of the Armored Zombie’s painful roar, Song Jian created distance and took a swig of a newly purchased beverage he retrieved, his partially diminished Spirit Points had started to gradually replenish.

The Armored Zombie, having lost an arm, became even more fearsome and enraged, its body even beginning to whirl with a black aura. Suddenly, a ghastly howl echoed throughout the subway tunnel. The scales on the Armored Zombie’s body emitted a grey aura, and its form surged like a feral beast towards Song Jian, its left arm swinging, the gale of its strike sweeping towards Song Jian’s head.

Song Jian ducked his body lower to dodge, then charged forward swiftly. He slipped under the Armored Zombie’s ribs to get behind it. In the course of his forward dash, his right hand held a dagger horizontally, and aiming at the zombie’s ribs – he stabbed mercilessly.

The sharp dagger easily cut through the somewhat curved and dried scales. A scar more than three inches long appeared under the Armored Zombie’s ribs, at the same time, a damage of over twenty points exploded above its head.

Song Jian repeatedly launched the “Tusk Fang Stinger,” capitalizing on the huge drop in the Armored Zombie’s defense to slash multiple wounds on its body. Originally solid scales now easily broke apart, and in no time, over a half of the scales on its body had been slashed off, shattered into fragments.

The Armored Zombie roared in anger, swinging its fists hard, the resulting force hitting the nearby rock wall. The hard rock wall which was radiating a black light, emitted a crisp shattering sound, instantly leaving a huge hole punched by the Armored Zombie. The shattered rocks flew in all directions. The Armored Zombie took advantage of this, grabbing a handful of broken rocks and hurling them backward, instantly covering a large area.

The shattered rocks, like bullets, left behind black traces in the air that slowly disappeared. Song Jian, caught off guard, was hit by two pebbles the size of fingernails, causing his charge towards the Armored Zombie to stall momentarily, while he involuntarily spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Looking at the figure in front of him, much stronger than an ordinary human, a ruthless look flashed through Song Jian’s eyes. He pointed his left index finger forward.

Whoosh-

A three-meter-long silver Sword Qi stabbed into the ribcage of the Armored Zombie, quickly sinking deep into its body. Even though the silver Sword Qi lasted less than a second, the damage it caused to the Armored Zombie was massive.

“Explode!”

The five-layered Poison Mark activated, causing over a hundred points of damage to appear above the Armored Zombie’s head. A stench-filled black fluid gushed out from the wound, covering half of the zombie’s body. The Armored Zombie, with its right arm severed at the elbow, its defense greatly reduced, its body covered in blood and suffering from numerous wounds, appeared in an extremely sad state.

However, the ferocity it exuded was akin to a wounded beast, even in death it desired to bite Song Jian.

With one hand on the ground and another gripping his dagger, Song Jian kept his eyes fixed on the Armored Zombie at a distance. His vitality rose visibly. His Vitality Points, which originally reduced to one-half, was nearing 80%, and his Spirit Points had also recovered to around 65%.

Roar-

The Armored Zombie’s roar echoed in the tunnel, the sound causing a prickling sensation in Song Jian’s ears. Looking at the Armored Zombie charging towards him, a thin vertical line on Song Jian’s forehead slowly opened, revealing the Vertical Eye. It shone with a brilliant light, piercing through the dim tunnel like a brilliant silver gem.

Whoosh-

A silvery beam shot out from the vertical eye. Upon seeing this beam, the Armored Zombie’s body instinctively trembled. The previous two silver Sword Qi had already made it feel the threat of death. Now, another silvery beam was shot towards it. Despite its ferocity and aggression, the Armored Zombie felt a chill run through it.

The silvery beam shot out from the vertical eye was not less powerful than the Sword Finger, but it lacked the sharpness.

The beam hit the chest of the Armored Zombie and did not go all the way through. Instead, it seemed like an electrical welding, with countless silvery rainbows blossoming continuously, pushing the Armored Zombie back against the rock wall behind it.

A series of damage numbers burst out from above the head of the Armored Zombie. The Spirit damage was okay, but the physical damage had been weakened by the opponent’s defense. Even with a reduction of 35% of the damage, the physical damage that could originally burst out forty to fifty points was now reduced to just over thirty points.

-71

-68

-75

Five seconds later, the silver beam from the vertical eye on Song Jian’s forehead disappeared, and a hint of fatigue appeared on his face. Now, only a dozen or so spirit points were left, but all of it was worth it. The Armored Zombie had taken close to three hundred points of damage this time, and a bowl-sized wound was burned into its chest area. Scales and flesh had all disappeared, revealing several cracked ribs and a black heart behind them that had already stopped beating.

Earth Teeth Assault!

With over 500% recovery speed for Vitality Points, the skills that consumed Vitality seemed almost negligible to Song Jian now. He would use these skills as soon as their cooldown time was up.

The Tusk Fang-shaped spirit cluster made a sharp sound as it tore through the air, ruthlessly hitting the Armored Zombie. Its left leg made a crisp fracture sound, and its massive body wobbled as it knelt down on one knee.

The effect of the Weakness Potion had worn off. The Armored Zombie’s body surface had returned to its original dark metallic luster. Just then, another potion was thrown at the Armored Zombie.

With a “bang” sound, the Armored Zombie was once again enveloped in a gray fog. As it felt its body gradually weaken, the Armored Zombie roared to the sky in unwillingness. Its blood-red eyes stared fiercely at Song Jian for a few seconds, as if to imprint his face on its mind.

A sense of dread crept into Song Jian’s mind. This guy seemed to want to escape!

Sure enough, the Armored Zombie, relying on a broken leg and its remaining limbs, jumped up like a beast and started running towards the deeper part of the tunnel.

Song Jian lifted his foot and chased after the Armored Zombie. He had worked so hard, and he wouldn’t feel at ease unless he killed it.

After chasing for over a hundred meters, Song Jian noticed that the sounds made by the Armored Zombie were getting further and further away. He couldn’t help but think to himself: “Does this guy still run so fast despite half of his limbs being useless?”

Just as Song Jian was about to give up, he suddenly heard the painful screams of the Armored Zombie in the distance. Next, the system told him he had gained over 600 Experience Points.

“Did someone just kill the Boss up ahead?” Song Jian was startled and immediately became more cautious.
