“Bang bang bang…”
A series of heavy impacts rang out as the clone wrapped around Arthur’s waist continued to punch, delivering powerful blows to Arthur's back, causing blood to spill from his mouth and nose. Despite being severely injured, he showed no signs of dying!
The threat from the sky was getting closer; in less than a second, the giant foot of the black tortoise war god would land here, crushing the clone and Arthur into pulp as if stepping on two bugs...
But Arthur paid no mind to the potential for friendly fire; he merely hunched over, holding the clone tightly.
Unmoving as a mountain (race foundation level, active skill).
Thousand pound drop (sss rank, active skill).
A variety of defensive abilities erupted wildly, pushing Arthur’s defense to the extreme and increasing his weight to over ten thousand pounds!
Like a solid weight, Arthur firmly sealed the clone's ability to move until death arrived!
“Boom!”
The massive iron foot ruthlessly came down, enveloping two corpses and two living beings.
The ground cracked open, forming a massive pit over fifty meters deep. When the black tortoise war god lifted his foot, all that remained in the pit was a disk of iron covered in a significant amount of blood and flesh, making it impossible to tell its shape.
Exchanging death for death...
This trade was absolutely worth it! Because Arthur had dozens of revival items on him, while the clone?
Sorry, it did not belong to the professional system, so it couldn’t use revival items—saying it would revive ten times meant it would revive not a single time more or less.
...
The first to revive were Qin Tian and Caius.
As soon as they awoke, they immediately looked behind them, seeing the remnants of heavily armored corpses mixed with blood and mud writhing. Combining this with the sounds they heard before death, they both quickly deduced the complete sequence of events.
In the next second, both Qin Tian and Caius withdrew, moving away from the area, while Arthur and the clone's flesh rapidly revived until Tang Haofei's clone and the heavily armored knight fully resurrected.
At this moment, Arthur’s hands still firmly encircled the clone's waist. In the brief vacuum of perception, even before the clone could struggle desperately, another stomp came crashing down!
Guarding a corpse really required no skill...
This simple operation had been performed several times by the black tortoise war god, and there was absolutely no chance of error this time!
Accompanied by the earth collapsing and an earthquake rising, the just-revived clone and Arthur were once again crushed under the black tortoise war god's foot, but when the black tortoise war god lifted his foot again, only one person remained alive...
Seeing this, Qin Tian and Caius exchanged glances, both letting out a sigh of relief.
Three had come, now only one remained; this battle had become much easier.
...
In the sky, another clone of Tang Haofei was still flying recklessly, seemingly unaffected by the death of its companions.
However, this time, the initiative had completely shifted—Qin Tian had just waited for Arthur to revive and had already drawn the bone sword. As the light of the concealed sword technique flashed, his eyes widened, locking onto the Tang Haofei clone in the sky.
Will lock—once the sword was drawn, it would definitely hit!
But contrary to the certainty of hitting, the one being targeted would inevitably sense this lock-in the instant it happened.
Just like a moment ago when Qin Tian attempted to draw his sword but was interrupted by the previous clone.
The airborne Tang Haofei clone turned its head again, seemingly looking at Qin Tian. The next second, this clone suddenly turned around and flew toward the horizon.
It was running away...
What was supposed to be an easy annihilation battle turned out to be a disaster for the demonic clan, which had deployed three clones but now faced defeat at the Eighth District Forward Base, a “soft target.” It was easy to imagine that once Qin Tian swung out the killer sword and killed this last clone, even with one last revival method, it could only wait in despair for the black tortoise war god's finishing move.
