196: What on earth is he going to do?

“Hmm?”

Hearing Qin Tian’s words, Void Master and the others were all stunned.

They followed Qin Tian’s gaze and looked at the Sakura Country players.

“You brat, your perception is quite sharp.”

A cackling sound rang out, and a black shadow, like a whirlwind, flew out from the Sakura Country players, sweeping towards where Zhou Tong was.

Zhou Tong reacted instantly, not confronting the black shadow head-on, but swiftly dodging to the side.

“You run quite fast.”

The black shadow landed on the ground, transforming into a sinister man holding a samurai long katana, shirtless, with surging bloodlust.

“Miyamoto Takeshi.”

Zhou Tong looked at the sinister man, his expression sinking as he recognized his identity.

The Sakura Country’s strongest Samurai, Miyamoto Takeshi.

His level was also 499, and he wore a full set of Mythical equipment. Most critically, there was no information about his profession.

No one knew his true profession. He looked like a Samurai, but he possessed many hidden special skills.

Moreover, his damage was extremely high, and his attacks were swift and fierce.

If Qin Tian hadn't spoken up just now, Zhou Tong would very likely have been hit by Miyamoto Takeshi’s attack and followed up with subsequent skills.

Even Zhou Tong was not confident he could withstand Miyamoto Takeshi’s full skill combo if the latter gained the first move.

“Void Master, you came to my Sakura Country without a greeting. This doesn’t seem to follow the rules, does it?”

Another voice rang out.

Then several more figures walked out from among the Sakura Country players.

“Ronin Mita Isshin-sama!”

“Blade Master Nakagami Ruri-sama!”

“Witch Doctor Asuka Yuuka-sama!”

“Shadow Warrior Nakamura Issha-sama!”

The Sakura Country players let out exclamations, their expressions becoming incredibly excited.

Including Miyamoto Takeshi, who had just attacked.

The five strongest players in Sakura Country were all gathered here.

These individuals were like gods in the hearts of Sakura Country players, also boasting achievements of slaying World-Destroying BOSSes, and all were long-renowned experts.

They possessed numerous Mythical quality equipment and items.

Their rare special skills and weapon proficiencies were also top-tier.

“With these adults here, none of you will leave today.”

The Sakura Country players cheered, the appearance of these five greatly boosting their confidence.

Void Master’s brows furrowed slightly upon seeing these five. He had exchanged blows with them some time ago and had a certain understanding of their strength.

Under normal circumstances, Void Master would not fear these few, and his chances of victory would be high.

But this time was different; the order he received was to protect Qin Tian and return him to Huaxia, not to kill enemies.

This made it much more difficult.

Once he was held up by these five, the remaining, numerous Sakura Country players could easily kill Qin Tian and Cong Yun.

“This is troublesome!”

Void Master’s brows furrowed deeper, and he began to consider whether he should use his strongest skill immediately to secure the battle.

But there was also a problem: if he was blocked by the opponent, he would instantly fall into a passive state.

As Void Master hesitated whether to act immediately, the five top Sakura Country players had already moved first.

Just as Void Master had guessed, they did not directly attack Qin Tian, but instead charged towards the five of them.

“Void Master, it’s been three years since our last encounter. Let me see if you’ve improved.”

A long katana thrust directly towards Void Master as Ronin Mita Isshin had already rushed in front of him.

“Protect Qin Tian.”

Void Master said, taking the long sword from his back, deflecting Mita Isshin’s attack with one swing, and simultaneously thrusting another sword towards Miyamoto Takeshi.

“You’re quite confident in your own strength.”

Miyamoto Takeshi saw Void Master’s action, did not dodge, and instead joined the battle.

Together with Mita Isshin, he launched a barrage of attacks on Void Master.

Void Master, fighting two against one, showed no weakness whatsoever, even subtly gaining the upper hand. However, it would still take a considerable amount of time to kill these two.

The main reason was that it wasn't just two people fighting Void Master; the Healers among the Sakura Country players were constantly healing the two.

Void Master could only continuously attack, accumulating sword intent, and searching for an opportunity for a decisive strike.

The other three Sakura Country players were also held up one by one by the Huaxia experts.

Because Void Master was holding off two, Zhou Tong was freed up. With a flash, he appeared beside Qin Tian and Cong Yun, shielding them.

This was also planned beforehand: if there was an unexpected situation, this would be the immediate response.

“Watch out for their attacks. I’ll lead you out first.”

Zhou Tong said to Qin Tian and Cong Yun, clearing a path in front of them as he spoke.

A large number of skills poured down, and Zhou Tong instantly activated his Martial God Shield. Golden light shimmered, and a golden shield appeared around him, isolating all skills outside.

“Are you alright?”

Zhou Tong turned back, wanting to check on Qin Tian and Cong Yun’s status.

He turned his head and was immediately stunned.

Inside the Martial God Shield, there were no signs of the two.

Qin Tian and Cong Yun were still standing in place.

A portion of the pouring skills was blocked by him, but a large portion still fell towards Qin Tian and Cong Yun.

“What in the world is this guy doing?”

Zhou Tong completely failed to understand what Qin Tian was doing.

They had already held up the Sakura Country experts, and this was the best opportunity to withdraw.

As the battle continued, the Sakura Country had a numerical advantage.

If they dragged it out, they wouldn't be able to leave later.

Watching the skills fall towards Qin Tian and Cong Yun, Zhou Tong quickly rushed over, wanting to help Qin Tian and Cong Yun block these skills.

At this moment, Zhou Tong was stunned again.

Qin Tian, who had been motionless, suddenly moved, charging directly towards the sky full of skills.

“What in the world is this guy doing?!”

Zhou Tong was completely bewildered by Qin Tian’s suicidal action. Everything happening before his eyes exceeded his expectations.

According to the pre-planned strategy, leading Qin Tian away should have been very simple, but unexpectedly it became so troublesome.

“This guy is really a burden.”

Zhou Tong’s good impression of Qin Tian instantly vanished. Just as he was about to fly forward again to help Qin Tian block the skills, an unexpected change occurred.

A phantom of armor suddenly flashed over Qin Tian’s body, and then an incredibly massive shield appeared in Qin Tian’s hand.

【Thorn Armor】

【Dragon Scale Jade Wall】

Two pieces of equipment were used by Qin Tian simultaneously. The myriad of skills that landed on Qin Tian were instantly bounced back, striking the countless Sakura Country players.

Screams rang out, and Zhou Tong came back to his senses, his expression changing again.

He realized that things seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

To be precise, it was different from all the information they had gathered.

Qin Tian was not the genius who needed protection, as described in the information, but seemed to be a formidable existence who had already grown into a top-tier expert.

At least Zhou Tong could not so casually reflect back these countless skills.

Moreover, looking at Qin Tian’s demeanor, it was calm and unperturbed, as if this was how it should be.

This was absolute confidence in his strength.

“Still not coming out?”

Qin Tian’s faint voice rang out again, his gaze still fixed on the countless Sakura Country players.

“Your perception is truly sharp.”

Another strange laugh echoed.

But it wasn't Miyamoto Takeshi, who was already fighting Void Master.

A black cloud of smoke rose from where the Sakura Country players were, taking on a human form and standing before Qin Tian.
