120: Level 400, 246 million per sword

Taketa Nobutora was stunned when he heard Qin Tian’s words.

After he reacted and confirmed that he hadn’t misheard, a disdainful smile appeared on his face:

“You merely killed some trash. I hope you’ll still be this arrogant in a moment.”

Taketa Nobutora looked at Qin Tian, his face filled with anger.

To him, even though these deceased Sakura Country players weren’t strong,

they were a crucial source of income for this main city.

Whether it was skill learning or renting houses, a series of expenditures could continuously bring him a large amount of gold coin income.

And now, Qin Tian had killed all these Sakura Country players.

This main city directly became an empty city.

Without the Sakura Country players, Taketa Nobutora directly lost his income.

This made him extremely furious, wishing he could cut Qin Tian down right now.

As for the terrifying strength Qin Tian had just displayed,

Taketa Nobutora didn’t care.

In his opinion, it was merely an advantage in equipment and skills.

This was a Tier 3 area, and due to the existence of the realm barrier, players here could only reach a maximum of level 149.

As long as he had a level advantage, Taketa Nobutora was invincible.

Because whether it was equipment or skills, he had no opponent at the same level.

Not to mention facing players with lower levels than himself.

“Go!”

Taketa Nobutora waved his hand and pointed at Qin Tian.

The two warriors in red armor in front of him charged directly at Qin Tian.

Their long swords were drawn from their waists and swung directly at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian coldly watched the two charging warriors, his staff already replaced by a long sword.

The level 140 Mythical Weapon, Bloodshade Edge, was obtained by killing Sakura Country players during the National War battlefield.

Although a level 140 Mythical Weapon could only provide 50,000 attack power, it could trigger the ‘Heaven-Splitting’ effect of blade-type weapons.

The blood-red long sword, sharp like a long dagger, was held in Qin Tian’s hand and swung directly at the two charging warriors.

Due to the level suppression, Qin Tian’s agility far surpassed that of the two warriors, so although Qin Tian drew his sword a step later,

he struck first.

With two swift slashes,

Qin Tian’s Bloodshade Edge struck the two warriors.

[-12,546,000]

[-24,246,780]

Huge damage numbers floated up; not only did both strikes trigger the ‘Heaven-Splitting’ effect, but one of them also landed a critical hit.

Taketa Nobutora, as the city lord, only had ten million HP, not to mention his two subordinates.

The warriors in red armor, maintaining their two-handed grip on their swords, had their bodies cut in half by Qin Tian.

[Killed Bloodshade Warrior, gained 100 million experience points]

[Killed Bloodshade Warrior, gained 80 million experience points]

[Player level increased to 400, all attribute points increased by 10, tier increased to Tier 8, attributes doubled]

Continuous game level-up sounds rang out.

Although the monsters’ levels were nearly 200 levels lower than Qin Tian’s, the experience decay was already extremely exaggerated.

However, because the Billion-Fold Upgrade talent had been upgraded again after the National War, it had become a hundred-thousand-fold experience gain.

So, the two monsters still provided Qin Tian with a large amount of experience.

Qin Tian had originally thought he would only level up after killing Taketa Nobutora.

He didn’t expect to level up directly now.

Moreover, because he leveled up to 400, it wasn’t just a single level increase, but also a tier increase.

Attributes directly doubled.

Now, even without equipment, Qin Tian already had ten million HP and 2.5 million attack.

This was the gap between tiers.

Without a forbidden holy item, or extremely exaggerated attribute equipment, challenging across levels might be possible, but challenging across tiers was absolutely impossible.

This was the advantage brought by level, which couldn’t be compensated by one or two pieces of equipment.

After leveling up to 400, it wasn’t just about increased attributes.

Now, Qin Tian could directly equip the two divine artifacts obtained from the National War.

Blood Song was taken into his hand, replacing Bloodshade Edge.

This long sword, shaped like a battle flag and constantly emitting blood-red light from its blade, directly increased Qin Tian’s attack to 12.5 million.

“You, who exactly are you?”

“Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!”

Taketa Nobutora looked at Qin Tian, his expression turning pale.

As the city lord, he was well-informed.

He naturally recognized the weapon Qin Tian had just held, recognizing it as the level 140 Bloodshade Edge.

Although it was a Mythical equipment, using this weapon would absolutely not be able to cause such terrifying damage to his two subordinates.

The two red warriors, though not BOSS-level existences, were also level 200 elite monsters, and their defense was extremely formidable.

This unusually exaggerated damage made Taketa Nobutora think of a possibility.

A possibility that was utterly illogical, yet the only one that could reasonably explain the current situation.

That was, the man in front of him was not Tier 3, but far surpassed him and the two red warriors in level.

“Is it Tier 6? Or Tier 7? Could it be Tier 8?”

“Absolutely impossible, Tier 8 is already demigod, and it’s even more impossible to break through the realm barrier.”

Taketa Nobutora looked at Qin Tian walking towards him, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

Everything happening before his eyes completely overturned his understanding.

He, who should have been invincible in this area, felt despair for the first time.

Although he believed his strength far surpassed his two subordinates, he didn’t think he could defeat Qin Tian.

“We can cooperate, I’ll give you whatever you want.”

Taketa Nobutora looked at Qin Tian, forcing himself to speak despite the fear in his heart.

At this moment, his dignity as city lord was completely gone.

Nothing was more important than staying alive.

Qin Tian looked at the begging Taketa Nobutora and shook his head.

To Qin Tian, a mere level 200 city lord BOSS had nothing worth discussing or communicating about; a single slash to turn him into experience was his best fate.

“Power, fame, women, whatever you want, I can give you anything.”

Taketa Nobutora continued speaking to himself, but Qin Tian remained unmoved.

“If you dare to kill me, you will be hunted by this area, no, you will be hunted by all city lords across all Sakura Country lands!”

“I am an NPC. If you kill me, you won’t be able to enter this main city again. As long as you enter, you will be subjected to endless pursuit!”

Seeing that he couldn’t persuade Qin Tian, Taketa Nobutora had to bring out his last card.

After all, in this world formed by the fusion of game and reality, NPCs still held the dominant position.

One must know that among NPCs, there were beings whose levels were close to gods.

Although Taketa Nobutora was just a city lord in a low-level area,

once killed, it would be a provocation to the NPCs here and would lead to being hunted by all NPCs.

He didn’t believe Qin Tian would truly dare to offend all the NPCs here.

Qin Tian had already arrived in front of Taketa Nobutora, ignoring him, and directly swung his sword down.

Taketa Nobutora used every means possible to try and block Qin Tian’s attack.

But unfortunately, in the face of absolute power suppression, all his moves were futile.

Qin Tian’s Blood Song fell, striking Taketa Nobutora.

No skills were used, just a normal slash.

The ‘Heaven-Splitting’ effect was triggered again.

Another ten times damage.

And it was a critical hit.

[-246,688,250]

A damage number of 246.68 million floated from Taketa Nobutora’s head.

No technique, just numerical suppression.
