I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Besieged

“First, give me this sword skill. Once I learn it and become stronger, it’ll benefit you too!” Song Jian’s eyes shone brightly as he shouted.

“This…” Zhang Hong hesitated.

“We can sign a contract and have the system certify it!” Song Jian yelled.

It was obviously impossible for Zhang Hong to just hand over the sword skill, but Song Jian didn’t trust Zhang Hong either. Just because he was a monk didn’t mean he couldn’t break his word.

With the system’s certification and a signed contract, both of their interests would be guaranteed.

Zhang Hong hesitated for a moment before eventually gritting his teeth, nodding his head, and turning a little pale.

This was a golden-quality sword skill, which could be sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Doomsday Coins. It was impossible not to feel heartache giving it away so easily. Zhang Hong hadn’t cultivated to the realm of “detachment from material possessions.”

After signing the contract, Zhang Hong handed the sword skill to Song Jian and said urgently, “My Battle Spirits can’t hold on any longer. You’re responsible for holding back this monster. It’s best if you can reduce its Vitality Points to less than a third!”

For the best chance to turn a monster into a pet, it’s ideal to reduce its Vitality to less than a third. This way, the success rate will be higher.

Song Jian nodded, directly learned the “Flash Thunder Strike,” and waved his longsword as he charged towards the lion-eagle beast.

Flash Thunder Strike was similar to Sweeping Sword Style, but it was a continuous attack with one move following another, causing three instances of damage in an instant. When used with the Golden Demonslaying Sword, the Flash Thunder Strike dealt damage equal to six instances in an instant, causing the damage to explode!

Song Jian arrived next to the lion-eagle beast. Zhang Hong’s Battle Spirits had already been completely devoured by the lion-eagle beast. The well-fed lion-eagle beast seemed quite pleased, raising its head and letting out a cheerful cry. It even burped and looked at the surrounding mutant ghosts without the previous excitement, appearing somewhat lazy and uninterested in eating.

Flash Thunder Strike!

Song Jian waved his long sword and slashed it on the lion-eagle beast. A series of damages floated above its head, causing the beast to lose more than a thousand Vitality Points.

The lion-eagle beast was enraged and flapped its wings violently. Even Song Jian struggled to stand, as if he was a bug struck by a powerful gust of wind.

The lion-eagle beast turned its colossal body to stare at Song Jian. With a flap of its wings, its massive body came charging at him like a small mountain.

Song Jian climbed up from the ground, spat out some sand, and looked up.

The lion-eagle beast instantly reached Song Jian, and its two front claws fiercely stomped towards him.

Boom!

The ground shook violently as if an earthquake had struck. The lion-eagle beast’s footprints were two deep pits, and a crater over three meters in diameter appeared around it. If this strike had hit Song Jian, he would have nearly been killed.

At this point, Song Jian didn’t dare to resist head-on and could only desperately run away.

The lion-eagle beast chased him like a madman, continually attacking him. With the lion-eagle’s first-tier Combat Power, even a casual hit was more than Song Jian could handle.

“Are you just going to watch?!” Song Jian couldn’t help but yell at Zhang Hong, who stood motionlessly to the side.

Zhang Hong’s face turned slightly red. In fact, he was frightened by the lion-eagle beast’s attack. Seeing a whole forest flattened by the beast, Zhang Hong felt a chill run down his spine. This was not something he could handle at this point.

“Avalaya, Xidian Dusuo…”

Not daring to fight head-on, Zhang Hong could only stand at a distance and chant Buddhist scriptures, using the unique skills of martial monks to harm the lion-eagle beast by casting spells.

As Zhang Hong chanted, one golden rune after another flew out of his mouth and formed a huge golden net in the air, which flew towards the lion-eagle beast.

Whoosh –

All of the lion-eagle beast’s attention was on Song Jian, so it did not notice the large net descending in midair, which wrapped it up tightly;

Hiss-

Once the golden net enveloped the lion-eagle beast, every strand of silk emitted a divine light, as if they were extremely hot branding irons. A burnt smell wafted in the air, and chains of tens of damage points floated above the lion-eagle beast’s head, forming a dense patch.

Seizing the opportunity, Song Jian turned around and unleashed a series of sword techniques, inflicting heavy damage on the lion-eagle beast.

Seeing Song Jian’s attack, a smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Hong’s mouth. Truly worthy of being the first on the level honor list, his attack was strong.

If it were just him alone, he would never reduce the lion-eagle beast’s Vitality Points to below a third.

However, the golden net only lasted for less than five seconds before the lion-eagle beast bit and tore it to shreds.

Seeing the lion-eagle beast break free, Song Jian immediately stopped a half-released sword technique and turned to run. He wasn’t capable of facing the lion-eagle beast head-on and could only rely on sneak attacks.

Attacking the lion-eagle beast was just a transaction, and Song Jian wouldn’t risk his life for it. In just five seconds, he had caused the lion-eagle beast to lose more than 1,500 points of damage, bringing its Vitality Points down by a quarter.

Such a powerful attack made even Zhang Hong feel a little uneasy, looking at Song Jian with deep wariness in his eyes.

“What are you waiting for?! Use all your moves, or don’t blame me for leaving by myself!” Song Jian shouted at Zhang Hong.

Even if the lion-eagle beast ran away, there would be no loss for Song Jian. The contract only stipulated that Song Jian had to assist Zhang Hong in capturing the beast. If Zhang Hong held back and failed the task, Song Jian would not take any responsibility.

As for the traded items, Song Jian had already learned the skills, so they couldn’t delete them. Therefore, Song Jian hadn’t used the “Immortal Sword Body” skill and considered it as a trump card, unafraid of Zhang Hong turning against him.

“Hold on!” Zhang Hong threw Song Jian a skill similar to “Light Body Skill,” increasing Song Jian’s movement speed by 5%. Then, he began preparing another spell.

“Mountain-moving Spell, go!” After chanting Buddhist scriptures, Zhang Hong shouted and pointed at the lion-eagle beast.

A mountain suddenly appeared in the air and smashed towards the beast.

Boom!

The mountain slammed heavily on the lion-eagle beast’s back, blood splattering everywhere. The beast’s wings broke and hung limply on both sides of its body.

The lion-eagle beast let out a sharp scream, struggling to get up. For a moment, its movement speed was significantly reduced.

“Hurry up, the slow effect will only last for three seconds!” Zhang Hong shouted, swinging the Six-Ring Tin Staff in his hand and drawing a dizzying, complex pattern in front of him.
