“Whew, whew…”
The gasping sound from Qin Tian's mouth was like that of a bellows. Looking at the serious expression of the ancient demon in front of him, and sensing the pale faces of Arthur, Wang Fu Cai, and Yang Hong behind him, Qin Tian felt a bitterness rise in his heart.
Qin Tian swore, this was the first time he felt the illusion of “Why am I so weak?”
All along, with his identity as a rank four and the powerful foundation level skill, concealed sword technique, Qin Tian had enjoyed great success. Not to mention his excellent performance in the rank battles, even in the Sea King control plan, although Lin Haifeng had severely let him down, it still showed that Lin Haifeng valued Qin Tian's strength greatly.
This was a strong person…
At least that was what Qin Tian believed himself to be.
However, a long period of peaceful living clearly led Qin Tian to develop a certain illusion— the world was changing too quickly. Wanting peace and happiness? Sorry, this level of strength was still not enough for someone who was once a rank four.
He had no limit breaker…
Then he encountered a limit breaker level ancient demon entity…
Two sentences were enough to describe Qin Tian’s unfortunate state at this moment.
As the captain of the elite assault team, Qin Tian had already estimated the difficulty of this battle to a certain extent, yet when he arrived on the battlefield, he found that this world was vastly different from when he used to dominate!
With Qin Tian at the peak of level six, along with three teammates also at the peak of level six, they had no way to deal with a level six limit breaker ancient demon. The physical disparity was at least four times greater, turning the attacks of the other three into nothing more than a display. If it weren't for him using the concealed sword technique he had practiced for months to cut through the enemy's defensive skills, the battle would have long since ended.
Fortunately, that powerful strike temporarily bought Qin Tian's team a moment of respite.
…
Arthur, who was primarily defending from behind, was covered in blood, and even his full knight armor had become tattered. The weaker Wang Fu Cai and Yang Hong were in worse shape; Wang Fu Cai had one arm completely gone and was now drinking a healing potion, trying to regain combat ability as quickly as possible, while Yang Hong was merely leaning against the earth puppet he had summoned, his head tilted unnaturally, in a daze…
“Is there still any attack of that level left?”
A loud voice came from the ancient demon, stroking the gruesome wound on its body that almost split it in half, asking gravely.
“Whew… you guess…”
As Qin Tian tried to steady his breathing and alleviate the fatigue in his body, he held the Bone Sword, vigilant against the possible incoming attack.
The ancient demon remained silent, merely squinting its eyes, sizing up the elite squad before it.
In the eyes of the ancient demon, the strength of the other three was completely insignificant. However, that previously overwhelming sword strike had jolted the ancient demon from its excitement at the imminent four kills.
That super powerful sword strike not only left a grotesque scar on the surface but also shattered its SSS level defensive skill, while consuming one of its disposable death-replacement skills.
Describing that strike as a one-hit kill was not an exaggeration.
As the four-man team’s state was about to recover, and its own wounds slowly healed, the ancient demon gently twisted its neck, and a faint glow burst forth from its four arms.
“Does the enemy still have that level of attack…? We’ll just have to try to find out!”
…
The explosive attack came in an instant, as the ancient demon’s figure seemed to vanish like smoke, appearing right before Qin Tian, with its flying claws striking fiercely, and a chilling wind howling, instantly turning the area around Qin Tian into a forbidden realm.
Seeing this, the healing Arthur immediately stood up, swinging his great sword in an attempt to join the battle, but was unexpectedly kicked away by a sudden foot. Wang Fu Cai also understood that this battle was not something he could participate in; he quickly picked up Yang Hong and crawled out of the combat zone.
