89: Whoever has the bigger fist rules

“Hmm?”

Qin Tian looked at Hu Tian with an unperturbed expression.

“Our bank manager said to give him the sword. Are you deaf?”

The two level 145 NPCs who were guarding the door, the Auction House guards, had somehow arrived beside Hu Tian.

The one speaking was the one who used a saber as a weapon, looking at Qin Tian with an extremely unfriendly expression.

As he spoke, he reached out to snatch the longsword from Qin Tian’s hand.

“Alright.”

Qin Tian smiled indifferently.

He thrust his sword directly.

Like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, it directly struck the Auction House guard.

[-480,000]

A massive damage number floated up.

Under the Auction House guard’s shocked gaze, the longsword in Qin Tian’s hand directly pierced through his body!

The terrifying damage instantly emptied his health bar.

He dissipated into a white light, leaving only a pile of equipment behind.

“W-what kind of damage is this?”

“Is this the power of a divine weapon?”

“That was a level 145 guard, and he was instantly killed?”

Everyone participating in the Sword Trial Hero Gathering was stunned; they hadn’t expected Qin Tian to act so decisively.

Even more unexpectedly, Qin Tian’s damage was so terrifying.

One must know that the guard who was instantly killed was not only level 145 but also equipped with a full set of orange legendary equipment. To be instantly killed with one sword strike, the power of this longsword was simply too abnormal.

Everyone fantasized that it wasn't Qin Tian holding the sword, but themselves, and with such a divine weapon in hand, they could directly sweep across this area.

“Take him down! Regardless of life or death, you must seize the sword from his hand.”

Hu Tian looked at Qin Tian and directly issued the command to the sword-wielding guard beside him.

The guard acknowledged the order and directly attacked Qin Tian.

The instant death of his companion and Qin Tian’s terrifying damage did not cause him the slightest fear.

More accurately, he had strong confidence that he could defeat Qin Tian.

Because his profession was the hidden profession, Hidden Edge Swordsman.

This profession could not only maximize the power of sword-type weapons but also maximally counter sword-type professions.

He made his move, thrusting the longsword in his hand directly at Qin Tian, but it wasn't aimed at Qin Tian, but at the longsword in Qin Tian’s hand.

The black longsword landed on the ancient longsword in Qin Tian’s hand, emitting a clanging sound.

The black longsword in Hu Tian's guard's hand seemed to come alive, the black color flowing down like ink onto the ancient longsword in Qin Tian's hand.

Then, something strange happened.

The ancient longsword in Qin Tian’s hand disappeared, returning to his inventory.

[Affected by enemy Hidden Edge skill effect, Dragon Sealing Blade cannot be used for 30 seconds]

The game prompt sounded in Qin Tian’s mind, but the expression on his face remained calm.

When Hu Tian saw the longsword in Qin Tian’s hand disappear, knowing that the guard’s skill had taken effect, he immediately said to Qin Tian:

“The divine weapon has been disabled. If you hand it over now, I can still spare your life.”

At the same time, Silver Dragon’s voice also rang in Qin Tian’s mind: “Give it to them. As long as there’s life, there’s hope. When my strength recovers, I’ll help you get it back.”

“This Hu Tian is too shameless, actually outright robbing!”

“Exactly, damn it, he’s been playing us for so long. Good thing I wasn’t the one who pulled it out.”

“Should we help? We’re all players, we can’t let NPCs bully us, can we?”

…

The rest of the people participating in the Sword Trial Hero Gathering also looked at Qin Tian with various expressions.

Although some verbally offered to help, not a single person actually made a move.

They were all watching from the sidelines, hoping both sides would suffer heavy losses so they could benefit as the fisherman.

However, looking at the current situation, the outcome was already decided.

They were clear about the strength of Hu Tian’s subordinate; if he had a divine weapon, he could still fight.

Unfortunately, the divine weapon had been disabled and couldn't be used for 30 seconds.

Without the divine weapon, it was impossible to defeat a level 145 guard equipped with legendary gear.

And even more critically, a large number of Auction House guards began pouring in from outside.

Completely surrounded, it was already a death trap.

Just as everyone thought Qin Tian was about to surrender the sword to save his life, an incredibly wide shield appeared in Qin Tian’s hand.

“What is this guy trying to do? Is he preparing to tank for 30 seconds?”

“There’s no Healer, what is he going to tank with? And this kid’s profession uses a sword, he’s not a Defense Warrior at all, he doesn’t have Defense Warrior skills, so what kind of defense can he have?”

“Alas, people die for wealth, birds die for food. Just hand over the divine weapon already. No matter how awesome or how reluctant, you still need to be alive to use it!”

…

Seeing Qin Tian’s actions, everyone thought he was going to fight to the death, and they couldn’t help but shake their heads and sigh, feeling that Qin Tian was truly too irrational.

“Don’t move yet. Try to hold them off. My strength is recovering, and I’ll be able to act soon!”

Silver Dragon saw Qin Tian’s actions and her expression also became anxious, quickly urging him.

Just then, Qin Tian moved, directly smashing the shield in his hand towards the level 145 guard in front of him.

“Haha, you’re not thinking of smashing me to death with that thing, are you?”

The sword-wielding guard burst into laughter.

It wasn’t that he didn’t understand a Defense Warrior’s attack methods; it was precisely because he understood them very well that he knew the damage was limited.

He had never heard of a shield being able to smash someone to death.

[-225,000]

[One Strike to Give Up One's Life]

Qin Tian’s shield came down, directly flattening the sword-wielding guard’s body.

Just like the saber-wielding guard earlier, he was still instantly killed by Qin Tian with one strike.

“What?!”

Hu Tian, Silver Dragon, and everyone participating in the Sword Trial Hero Gathering were all stunned on the spot.

They hadn’t expected Qin Tian to take the initiative to attack, and with a shield to deal damage at that.

And to deal such explosive damage.

“Is this kid’s real profession a Defense Warrior?”

“No, a Defense Warrior couldn’t possibly have such high damage.”

“That was One Strike to Give Up One's Life just now, his HP is over 500,000!”

A player who was also a Defense Warrior recognized Qin Tian’s attack motion.

But the closer they got to the truth, the more illusory the truth seemed.

Even a tanky Defense Warrior with all points in constitution and a full set of legendary defensive equipment would have at most 70,000 to 80,000 HP, making it impossible to reach 500,000.

It was too exaggerated.

Could it be a full set of divine equipment?

“Look at the equipment leaderboard! This guy must be Qin Tian. The shield in his hand is a forbidden holy item, and the sword he pulled out is also a forbidden holy item!”

Upon seeing Qin Tian’s damage and HP, a player, with doubts in mind, began to check the equipment leaderboard.

They didn’t know until they checked, and when they did, they were shocked!

Two equipment tiers never heard of before were now in the hands of the same person, and right before their eyes.

“Qin Tian? Who exactly is he?”

Silver Dragon looked at Qin Tian’s back, somewhat bewildered.

Hu Tian and the others, meanwhile, began to breathe rapidly.

A divine weapon was enough to make them want to kill and loot, let alone a forbidden holy item above divine weapons.

One piece could cause chaos in the entire region, and now Qin Tian had two.

Everyone participating in the Sword Trial Hero Gathering couldn't hold back either and all rushed towards Qin Tian.
