Morphing into Dark Cloud, duration 60 seconds, cooldown 30 minutes. Under Dark Cloud form, it consumes 1 point of Mental Strength per second. The state can be dispelled at any time, and cooldown begins after dispelling;

While in Dark Cloud form, Song Jian is immune to physical damage. His magical resistance increases by 100%, and every ten seconds he deals damage (30+200%*Mental Strength) to any target within the cloud;

Song Jian currently has 7 points in Mental Strength. This means, within 60 seconds, Song Jian could deal over two hundred and fifty points of damage to the Armored Zombie;

A swirl of dark mist envelops the Armored Zombie. An injury of forty-three points emerges from above the zombie’s head. Seeing this, Song Jian feels relieved. It seems that the Armored Zombie only has strong physical defenses. Its Mental Strength is quite weak, or it would not have sustained such mental damage;

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-

The Armored Zombie senses its enemy’s presence nearby but is unable to trace him. It swings its arms violently in all directions, hitting nothing but air, stone walls, and the rotten subway carriage. The intense force their swings create rips through the air;

Song Jian’s feeling is peculiar, like he is hugging the Armored Zombie tightly with both arms, but the creature can’t touch him at all.

Boom –

The Armored Zombie wildly swings its fists, striking the nearby rocks with a loud echo;

From its mouth, it continuously emits beast-like growls. During this moment, the Armored Zombie is clearly flustered. It has never experienced something like this before, being able to sense an enemy and take damage from them, without even being able to touch the enemy’s clothes;

With a misstep, the Armored Zombie rolls down from the subway carriage and crashes heavily onto the rail track.

“Crack”, the Armored Zombie roars, grabbing and pulling the rail track. It breaks off a chunk of rail track that’s two to three meters long. The rotten rail track has become brittle, snapping into two from either side. The Armored Zombie takes the broken piece and swings it all around;

The sixty seconds pass quickly. The Vitality Points of the Armored Zombie drop by one-fifth. The surroundings are now a mess. A large section of rocks around have been shattered. The ground is filled with glowing rocks, and the subway next to them has been blasted open to reveal a few large holes. The carriage on one side has been split entirely. As Song Jian’s Dark Cloud form reaches its final few seconds, he flies seven to eight meters away from the Armored Zombie, reverting to human form;

The Armored Zombie’s blazing eyes pierce through Song Jian. The formerly irrational creature becomes even more insane. Grabbing the rail track in its hand, it fiercely smashes it towards Song Jian;

Song Jian ducks low, as the rail track whizzes over his head, the forceful wind messing his hair. With his right hand on the ground, a milky-white orb shaped like a tusk quickly forms;

Earth Teeth Assault!

Whoosh, whoosh-

The sounds of sharp objects breaking through the air suddenly interrupt the silence. Leaving a straight mark on the ground, it charges towards the Armored Zombie;

Bam!

A loud bang – the tusk-shaped orb hits the Armored Zombie hard, the strong energy throwing it up in the air. Its body collides with the subway carriage;

Squeak-

lhe unpleasant sound of breaking echoes. The Armored Zombie’s body embeds itself into the carriage. A thirty-one point damage mark appears from overhead;

“Wow, its defense really is super strong. My Earth Teeth Assault skill only dealt thirty-one points of damage. It’s like it has a built-in function to halve the damage!’’ Song Jian’s cheeks twitch a couple of times, looking at the Armored Zombie struggling to escape from the carriage metal. He suddenly feels this might be a tough fight;

“Will I… really be able to kill this thing?’¹ A question mark emerges in Song Jian’s mind, though for now, he has no other choice but to fight;

Song Jian tightly clutches the “Tusk Fang Stinger”. A silver light gleams endlessly on the blade as Invisible Sword Qi keeps amassing around the blade;

However, Song Jian dares not to use up all of his Invisible Sword Qi. The Tusk Fang Stinger is his only smooth weapon at the moment. If it gets damaged again, Song Jian won’t bear the loss;

“Let’s do it!” Song Jian flies into a sudden rage. His eyes filled with bloodshot veins as if they’re blazing fires. He lets out a beast-like roar from his throat and throws himself at the Armored Zombie;

Seeing Song Jian charging at it, the Armored Zombie takes a leap, appearing three meters ahead. It throws a punch at Song Jian;

Faced with the zombie s punch, Song Jian successfully dodges it by bending down. And just like the deadly fangs of a venomous snake, he stabs his dagger right into the zombie’s chest;

The dagger strikes the black scales on the Armored Zombie’s body, causing a spark of fire to erupt. A three-point damage floats up from the top of the zombie’s head;

Song Jian is taken aback. These scales are like a thick layer of armor on the Armored Zombie. If he can’t penetrate these scales, it’ll be difficult for Song Jian to inflict any significant damage;

The Armored Zombie swings a counterpalm, hitting Song Jian squarely on his back and flinging him five to six meters away;

Song Jian’s eyes are blood-red, as if fiery flames are burning inside them. He rolls over to get up, kneeling on the ground. Blood is already gushing from the corner of his mouth. His face is somewhat contorted with pain. Watching the Armored Zombie lunging at him, Song Jian pulls out a potion from his bag and throws it at the zombie;

Weakness Potion (Superior): Carries out a ranged attack against any target within six meters, inflicting 30 points of true damage while weakening the target’s defense by 35% for 65 seconds;

As the potion shatters in mid-air, a puff of gray smoke engulfs the Armored Zombie. Tiny granules invisible to the naked eye burrow into the zombie s body. They are like bloodthirsty tiny insects, infiltrating the Armored Zombie s body through the gaps between its scales. In no moment, the Armored Zombie’s body is covered in a faint gray glow;

Having thrown the Weakness Potion, Song Jian once again charges at the Armored Zombie fearlessly. This time, there is no other thought in his head except tearing his enemy into pieces;

This time, Song Jian’s dagger easily penetrates the Armored Zombie’s scales. Nearly half of the blade stabs into the zombie’s body. Feeling the pain, the Armored Zombie also shows signs of insanity. It swings its fists frantically as if wanting to squash Song Jian into a pulp;

Facing the heavy fist of the Armored Zombie looming overhead like a huge mountain, Song Jian has a sudden stroke of insight. He swings his left hand upward forcefully, releasing a dazzling silver Sword Qi from his index finger that cuts sideways across the zombie’s fist;
