Up to this point, Wen Yu still hadn't noticed anything unusual.
I have to say, Mara's trap was indeed intricately designed.
When faced with threats and benefits, Wen Yu—no, for most people, the first thing to consider is resolving the core control issue rather than questioning the authenticity of the images on the "monitor."
Amidst the choice of quickly resolving the core control problem at the cost of personal injury or slowly resolving it while enhancing their own strength, paired with the perfectly realistic fake "monitor," the choice most people would make is naturally obvious.
Of course, this trap itself also had its flaws.
And the flaw lay in...
"Bang!"
The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed far away as Arthur barely managed to control his body. However, the next moment, a sword light that tore through space struck directly at Arthur's chest.
The damage wasn’t significant—Arthur had learned this from his previous encounters with the Qin Tian clone.
Without a sword endowed with a hundred times the attack power nurtured over seven days, it would be hard for Qin Tian to break through his defenses.
However, the force contained in the sword energy struck Arthur without reservation.
Arthur, already unsteady on his feet, was sent flying by the sword energy, tracing a curve before landing dozens of meters away.
"Cough cough..."
The tremendous impact left Arthur feeling a bit suffocated in the chest, and he couldn't help but cough twice, alleviating the discomfort trapped in his chest.
Raising his head, he saw four clones approaching him not far ahead.
Unhurried...
Calm and collected...
Neither hurried nor slow...
"Ah... this is really fcking ridiculous!"
Even Arthur himself felt quite helpless about the current situation.
Being kicked around like a sandbag, yet having no effective means to counterattack.
The feeling of being passively beaten was truly unpleasant.
...
Placing the heavy sword on the ground, he pushed down with force, using the sword as a pivot to slowly rise from the ground.
Once again... this was the fourteenth time he had been knocked down and sent flying. Throughout this battle, Arthur had also sensed something strange.
The four clones before him were not trying to eliminate him; rather, it seemed they were trying to herd him toward a certain location.
And the destination...
Looking around at the familiar environment, Arthur swallowed heavily.
This position was very close to the Red Stone Grand Hotel...
...
To the east.
This was arguably the area where the battle for the Red Stone Grand Hotel was the most intense.
Faceless was enduring a one against seventeen, and the situation was dire!
No matter how powerful Faceless was, he was merely a watered-down version of Tang Haofei.
If Tang Haofei himself were present, he would have a chance of overcoming this situation, but Faceless was indeed unable to fight against seventeen clones.
The raging lightning could not conceal Faceless's decline. Although under the dual control of thunder and earth, the twelve Arthur clones were indeed unable to attack, aside from being somewhat sturdier, they couldn’t inflict any significant damage on Faceless.
However, the attack points of these clones lay with the five Qin Tian clones.
A hundred meters away, the five Qin Tian clones swiftly drew their swords. The pale bone swords sliced through space, appearing around Faceless's body, leaving behind gory wounds.
Under the effects of the true god dominance body, although the wounds healed quickly, they certainly couldn't keep up with the damage being dealt by Qin Tian.
If Arthur was the strongest shield, then Qin Tian could be considered the sharpest sword.
Ignoring distance, severing space, and exhibiting explosive power with the concealed sword technique...
For a moment, the battlefield was filled with swords flashing, and the sounds of explosions rang continuously.
A total of seventeen clones showed no mercy to Faceless whatsoever; they aimed to eliminate him completely!
...
However, the direction where Qin Tian was located was not the same as Faceless...
