77: 【0】, Dongfangxing was defeated

Two damage numbers simultaneously appeared above Qin Tian and Oriental Walker's heads.

[-0]

[-9983]

Seeing this scene, Niu Yun was stunned.

He hadn't expected that Oriental Walker's attack wouldn't break through Qin Tian's defense.

Instead, Qin Tian's single sword strike directly emptied Oriental Walker's health bar.

Oriental Walker was the strongest Thief here, and he had just activated his Moon Shadow Blurry and Sacrifice skills.

That was his strongest state during a one-on-one fight.

He shouldn't have been hit, and it was absolutely impossible for him to deal such low damage.

What exactly was going on?

Niu Yun couldn't understand why Qin Tian's defense was so terrifying, and his damage was so abnormal.

This was definitely not the damage a Defense Warrior could inflict.

Oriental Walker, whose health bar had disappeared, body severed in two, and instantly killed by Qin Tian, also had an expression of disbelief.

He wasn't someone who only relied on equipment skills to fight; on the contrary, his combat awareness was extremely strong.

He saw that Qin Tian clearly didn't make any motion to wear a shield.

But he was certain that his dagger had been blocked by the shield on Qin Tian's body, which had no discernible level or color.

This feeling was very strange; it was as if his attack was clearly aimed at Qin Tian's body, but it was uncontrollably thrust towards Qin Tian's shield.

The experienced Oriental Walker even recognized the weapons, equipment, and skills Qin Tian was using.

The Swordsman's Level 45 purple defensive set and weapon, and the Strong Slash skill that could increase attack damage by 1.5 times.

Even with all strength added, a Level 49 couldn't deal this kind of damage.

Even if he used Sacrifice to lower his defense, he was wearing a pink divine artifact set.

"Your level is above 100."

Oriental Walker's thoughts raced.

Only by breaking through Level 100 and advancing to Tier 2, with attributes doubling twice, could such damage be dealt!

In the instant before his death, Oriental Walker felt only endless regret; he regretted his love for pleasure.

If he hadn't been so focused on enjoyment and had worked hard to level up, then his level wouldn't be only 49 today, and he might not have lost.

But what about that defense?

Oriental Walker's newly risen confidence dissipated again.

The [0] damage number was the first time he had ever dealt it in his life.

No defense broken.

Oriental Walker's defense was broken.

The strongest Thief, who prided himself on damage, couldn't break through his opponent's defense.

This kind of damage, to him, was like a furious slap to his face.

And why was he hit while in the Moon Shadow Blurry state?

He had fought BOSSes for so long and had never been hit once by a BOSS.

Oriental Walker had items that increased his evasion rate.

When he was hit, his evasion rate was already very close to 100%!

The more Oriental Walker thought about it, the less he understood; he realized that Qin Tian seemed to exist on a completely different level than him.

He simply couldn't explain Qin Tian using his own understanding.

Oriental Walker's consciousness began to blur, dissipating with the white light and his body, leaving behind only a pile of weapons, equipment, and items.

Qin Tian put away the longsword in his hand.

Due to the guaranteed hit effect of the sword-type weapon talent, the evasion attribute was completely ineffective in front of Qin Tian, who wielded a sword.

As long as Qin Tian attacked with a sword, it would be a 100% hit.

This was the unique reward for maxing out weapon proficiency first.

It looked simple and unadorned, but it carried a sense of profound simplicity and an invincible dominance!

It's important to know that Thief-type professions, due to their low defense and health, increasingly relied on evasion attributes in the later stages.

They relied on their evasion skills, combined with evasion bonuses from equipment and items, to make their evasion rate extremely high, turning those few seconds into near invincibility.

This allowed them to both attack and defend, achieving professional legendary status.

But now, Qin Tian's single sword could directly cripple this profession!

Any Thief profession, whether hidden or not, when facing Qin Tian, as long as Qin Tian held a sword, Qin Tian had already won.

However, what surprised Qin Tian was that the Quick Change skill seemed even more powerful than he had imagined.

Qin Tian hadn't used any Defense Warrior skills just now, and he was in a sword-wielding state.

But when Oriental Walker attacked, the shield's defensive effect still activated.

It activated during the interval of Qin Tian's actions, blocking Oriental Walker's attack.

This meant that even if Qin Tian didn't actively equip a shield, it would automatically switch to a shield when he was attacked.

Forming the strongest defensive state.

It was just a pity that Oriental Walker died too quickly, instantly killed; otherwise, Qin Tian would have been able to know if the shield's effects, such as Holy Dragon's Wrath, would also be triggered simultaneously.

Now, he could only test it when he encountered enemies again.

Qin Tian casually picked up the equipment and items Oriental Walker dropped on the ground and put them in his inventory.

He saw the three Defense Warriors beside him, dumbfounded, who had joined Oriental Walker's team earlier.

They had spent a huge sum to hire Oriental Walker to help them, in order to make it in time to register for the National War.

"Let's go, I'll take you guys through."

The three of them were overjoyed and immediately joined Qin Tian's team.

Qin Tian, who had instantly killed Oriental Walker, gave them an explosive sense of security.

If someone like him couldn't clear the Trial Land, then no one could.

"Do you want to come along?"

Qin Tian looked at Niu Yun.

They needed five people for a team, and they were still short one.

Niu Yun hadn't expected Qin Tian to offer to take him, and he instantly became incredibly excited, about to agree, but reason still made him calm down.

His family's situation was very bad right now, requiring huge daily expenses; if he left and lost his source of income, then only death awaited his family.

"You can call me a coward, but I'm still not going, but I will support this National War in my own way!"

Niu Yun looked at Qin Tian, ultimately choosing to stay.

He couldn't abandon his family, but he would also support this National War by helping others clear the Trial Land for free.

Qin Tian nodded, didn't press further, and looked around:

"Four short one, anyone can join, I'll carry you."

As soon as he said this, the surrounding players frantically sent team-up requests to Qin Tian.

If they didn't cling to the leg of such a big shot, a colossal figure, they would regret it so much that they'd slap themselves a few times when they woke up at night.

Qin Tian looked at the dense stream of team-up requests and finally picked one at random.

He didn't expect it to be another Defense Warrior carrying a shield.

Qin Tian hadn't planned on letting his teammates attack anyway, so he didn't bother to change.

As for whether this person would register for the National War after clearing the Tier Advancement Trial, Qin Tian wasn't interested in finding out.

People die on the battlefield.

Those with only courage but no strength are often called idealists.

Only when strength matches noble ideals can one achieve the name of a hero.

Qin Tian wasn't interested in being a hero; he just wanted to have a friendly exchange with players from Sakura Country.

And so, Qin Tian, leading four Defense Warriors, all carrying shields, headed towards the Trial Land.
