With a strength advantage on their side and a speed advantage for the enemy, the theory of attacking the enemy's weaknesses with one's strengths was merely a simplistic concept.
What Qin Tian needed to consider next was straightforward—he had to find a way to slow down the two Black Tortoise War Gods.
As long as their speed decreased, the remaining task would merely be a single strike. Even though these two clone bodies had the ability to resurrect, under the power suppression of the Black Tortoise War God, it would only be a matter of two hits.
The reasoning was simple, yet the gap between theory and real action can often be despairingly large.
Qin Tian swung his sword, directing the blade's light towards one of the clone bodies, landing a strike on its face instantly. However, the clone body did not even attempt to dodge; it simply allowed the sword energy to hit its cheek before scattering into the wind.
The defensive capabilities were impenetrable!
The damage Qin Tian inflicted was even lower than what the clone body had dealt to the Black Tortoise War God. Without any damage, how could he disrupt the enemy?
After swinging his sword, Qin Tian immediately assessed the situation. He put down the Bone Sword and gazed at the two bolts of thunder in the sky, his face filled with embarrassment.
“The concealed sword technique is the only option…”
The concealed sword technique was Qin Tian's signature skill.
Under such circumstances, it seemed that only the concealed sword technique could break the deadlock for Qin Tian.
Caius, watching from the side, merely nodded in agreement.
Normal methods could not penetrate the clone body's defenses; this was true for Qin Tian, and even more so for Caius. Without the concealed sword technique, the outcome of the battle was easy to imagine—both clone bodies would wear down the Black Tortoise War God, then turn to slaughter Qin Tian, Caius, and even the sequence-level experts within the Black Tortoise War God.
No one present would escape; the strategic goal of the clone bodies would be achieved, and everything would revert to the time before the Black Tortoise War God was activated.
There was only one method, and thus the choice was clear…
The Bone Sword in Qin Tian's hand radiated a fierce glow, and the fluctuations of the concealed sword technique surged and brewed wildly. Qin Tian raised his head, his gaze firmly locked onto the two figures above. However, the next second, he only saw one of the clone bodies turn its head slightly, locking eyes with him in an instant.
When their gazes met, Qin Tian's heart suddenly skipped a beat—the killing intent in the clone body's eyes could not be clearer…
They knew his skills!
This also meant that they had already prepared for his concealed sword technique!
“Zzz…”
Accompanied by the sound of crackling electricity, the clone body that Qin Tian had just locked onto abruptly vanished, and the next second, a chaotic surge of electrical noise appeared behind Qin Tian!
The clone body had a simple solution to Qin Tian's concealed sword technique.
As long as it killed Qin Tian, the skill's host, any terrifying skills would lose their effectiveness!
Furthermore, due to the significant disparity in agility between the clone bodies and the Black Tortoise War God, the Black Tortoise War God could not even obstruct the clone body’s targeted assassination—by the time the clone body reached behind Qin Tian, the massive Black Tortoise War God still had not reacted, and one of the two figures above had already disappeared without a trace!
The speed of the clone bodies had surpassed the capture limit of the Black Tortoise War God's dynamic capture system—this meant that the Black Tortoise War God’s interference with the two clone bodies had become negligible.
From the very beginning, the two clone bodies had never regarded the Black Tortoise War God with any respect—they attacked when they wanted, left when they wished, and even killed whomever they chose!
