Qin Tian was immediately drenched in cold sweat.
Beside him, Caius was on high alert as if facing a great enemy!
The emergence of Tang Haofei's clone on the front line had long been reported to the entire army, but Qin Tian did not expect that at this moment, this clone would appear directly in the Eighth District Forward Base!
The timing was somewhat off...
Long before the clone engaged with the one-eyed and Xing, eight out of ten clones had already left the main battlefield—specific whereabouts unknown, but if their target was the Eighth District Forward Base, they should have arrived before Qin Tian.
If things developed according to this logic, when Qin Tian arrived at the Eighth District Forward Base, what he should see was not a base that had yet to be engulfed in chaos, but rather a brutal battlefield or a landscape of ruins...
Until this clone provided the answer!
"I told you, I will kill you."
The tone was devoid of emotion, and the calm demeanor was not an ultimatum, but simply a fact.
The clone before him was not the same one that had just killed Qin Tian; thus, the situation was evident—this was not a notification from the clone to Qin Tian, but rather an assassination order issued to Qin Tian by the demonic clan behind it!
In just one sentence, Qin Tian had already thought of the primary objective of these clones...
To kill!
They simply wanted to kill!
To eliminate sequence-level experts, to eradicate the seeds of future strong individuals on Earth, thereby dismantling Earth's potential for war!
This was precisely why this clone set out first, arriving at the Eighth District Forward Base after Qin Tian!
Because now, after gathering the sequence-level experts who had just fled the main battlefield, the number of sequence-level experts inside the base had already reached nearly a thousand!
They were not merely a step behind Qin Tian; they were aiming for even greater achievements!
...
A series of thoughts flashed through Qin Tian's mind, awakening his brain like a bolt of lightning. However, just as he was about to say something to Caius, he saw Tang Haofei's clone suddenly raise its hand.
In the next second, thunder began to roar, and in the blink of an eye, the thunder on the clone rapidly expanded, enveloping the entire forward base.
"Boom!"
The loud noise erupted, sounding like the prelude to destruction!
Endless thunder poured down from the sky, sweeping through the entire Eighth District Forward Base. At that moment, all the soldiers present in the base looked up, seemingly not understanding what was happening.
But those sequence-level experts who had just retreated from the front line suddenly changed their expressions!
Such a scale of thunder tribulation had practically become someone's signature entrance...
Although they knew this day might come, when faced with Tang Haofei's clone "in person," they still felt unprecedented pressure!
...
As the thunder surged down, it converged from the sky like a mountain crashing down. At that moment, Qin Tian's eyes widened in anger, as he recalled the tragic sight of the front line corpses, whereas Caius maintained a relatively calm expression. He quickly took off the cross hanging around his neck and began to murmur.
As the murmuring passed, the cross, originally only thirty centimeters long, rapidly morphed, transforming into a size comparable to a door panel in a short time.
"Hiss..."
A sound pierced the air as the cross was thrown, and at the same time, the thunder from the sky came crashing down upon the Eighth District Forward Base.
The fate of the two attacks was strikingly similar...
Caius, filled with anger, struck out, and the massive cross smashed into the clone's face. With a “bang,” the clone, which had refreshed nine times in the life and death battle resolution, leaned back slightly, and the enormous cross was instantly repelled, leaving only a few red marks—no defensive breach...
In that hasty attack, Caius had no way to penetrate the clone's defenses.
However, to the clone's surprise, its thunder tribulation crashing upon the Eighth District Forward Base did not yield the desired outcome!
