CHAPTER 490: CHAPTER 81: COLLAPSING SITUATION_1

With the combination of Undefeated Glory (SSS-Class, Passive Skill) and Five Senses Distribution (B-Class, Active Ability), Arthur’s defense capabilities were elevated to a zenith! This was a perfect combination of low-level and high-level skills! In battle, he significantly weakened his tactile sense (or Pain Perception) to bolster his vision, thereby creating a near-perfect skill combination with Undefeated Glory!

The SSS-Class skill, Undefeated Glory, could not be broken by any offensive skill except for those at the Esoteric Level. And Qin Tian indeed possessed an Esoteric Level attack skill—the Profound Sword Technique. However, the Profound Sword Technique could only be used once every seven seconds! Moreover, Qin Tian was not entirely sure if this double-strength attack, usable every seven seconds, could completely crush Arthur’s Undefeated Glory!

On this battlefield, the various Arthurs, whether real or fake, were like heavy armored vehicles in human skin! This superb skill combination made Arthur an almost perfect human shield!

A new Arthur duplicant slowly approached the battlefield. He lightly shook his head, his neck emitting a series of sharp CRACKS. This new Arthur duplicant was familiarizing himself with his own body and skills. Moreover, this took an astonishingly short amount of time...

In less than ten seconds, the new Arthur duplicant had already raised his Heavy Sword high. White Sword Light flowed ceaselessly over the Heavy Sword. The next moment, a piercing Sword Light roared out, and a massive, milky-white beam of Sword Light crashed down towards Qin Tian.

The Sword Light’s flight speed was not high. The new Arthur duplicant was about 3,000 meters from Qin Tian, and the Sword Light’s speed barely reached 1,000 meters per second. It was less than three times the speed of sound—a very slow speed, not even matching the running speed of a Third-level professionist.

However, Arthur was not known for his attack power in the first place, and this Sword Light was not primarily a skill focused on Lethality!

Sonic Sword Technique (Oscillation) (A-Class, Active Ability): One of the abilities in the Sonic Sword Technique system, it unleashed a slow-moving, low-power energy Sword Qi. When this Sword Qi detonated at the target location, it generated intense oscillations, causing sensory failure, dizziness, and other such symptoms in all nearby units!

Strictly speaking, this ability of Arthur’s was primarily a Control-focused skill. This also demonstrated that Arthur followed a relatively extreme defensive path. Killing others? Difficult. But trying to kill him? Even more difficult!

The massive Sword Light slammed into the ground near Qin Tian, unleashing an explosive shockwave and an unknown, eerie energy that spread in all directions. But Qin Tian, already prepared, had bolted out of the blast radius.

After the explosion, smoke and dust filled the air. From within this dense miasma, four identical figures slowly emerged. The side effects of Sonic Sword Technique (Oscillation) were completely ineffective on the fake Arthurs!

The negative effects of Sonic Sword Technique (Oscillation) were primarily based on disruptions to the three senses: Vision, Hearing, and touch. However, Arthur’s Five Senses Distribution allowed him to perfectly control all these senses! Therefore, although Sonic Sword Technique (Oscillation) was not high-level and lacked significant Lethality, it complemented Arthur’s Skill System perfectly.

More vexingly, if Qin Tian engaged Arthur in close combat, Arthur would not hesitate to unleash Sonic Sword Technique (Oscillation) at his own feet. They would both have to endure the dizzying side effects—I’m not afraid of it, but you are...

Arthur’s turtle-shell-like defense capabilities deeply troubled Qin Tian! However, as the saying goes, there are always trade-offs. Although the fake Arthurs were difficult to kill, Arthur’s offensive capabilities were truly not strong. His only offensive skill lacked sufficient Lethality. This meant that while Qin Tian couldn’t kill the fake Arthurs, it would also be an immense challenge for Arthur to eliminate Qin Tian!

Regrettably, the fake Arthurs did not need to kill Qin Tian. They only needed to injure him; that would be enough. The rest could be left for Qin Tian’s own duplicant to handle!

Therefore, the four fake Arthurs who emerged from the smoke and dust said nothing. Like four heavy armored war machines, their thick, sturdy legs, combined with the crushing weight of their Soul-Armored, made the ground RUMBLE as they charged ferociously at Qin Tian!

Seeing this, Qin Tian’s eyes flickered with determination!

Just moments ago, facing three Arthur duplicants, I already sensed immense trouble. After all, these duplicants don’t care if they die; their strategy is a pure life-for-life exchange. For me, they are absolutely the most difficult opponents to handle. And now, the number of enemies has increased to four. Well then, it’s time to use my ultimate move!

At this thought, a bone sword slowly materialized in Qin Tian’s hand. Simultaneously, violent Energy Fluctuations erupted outwards. The chilling killing intent was so potent it even made Victor, far in the distance, look over in astonishment. This was the primary sword Qin Tian had been nurturing for over ten days, a blade that signified a Hundredfold Strike! Considering Qin Tian’s current fundamental strength, this strike could definitely be called an Absolute Kill Slash!

And Arthur, who was not far from Qin Tian, naturally perceived all of this with utmost clarity.

"Wait! Wait!" Arthur shouted at Qin Tian, who was about to raise his sword, then hurriedly continued, "Don’t kill them! My duplicants must not be killed! I have desperate measures!"

The moment Arthur’s voice fell, Qin Tian had already reacted.
