Hu Die Lan
Chapter 498 Sun Xiang's Dragon Raises Head
After making eye contact, it was Ye Xiu's group, with Forward, Go Forth (Qianfang Ge Hai), who launched the first attack. However, in an instant, they were swept aside.
Zhan Lou Lan, Xiao Bei, and Ye Xi were trapped in a Heavenly Thunder, Earthly Fire (Tianlei Dihuo) formation and then thrown out.
Destroyer Tirelessly (Hui Bu Juan)'s Sparrow Plunge (Que Luo) did hit his opponent, but in the end, it seemed that the other party wasn't unable to dodge, but simply didn't think it was necessary. Destroyer Tirelessly's skilled combo was quickly interrupted by the other party with an even faster attack, and after being blasted away by a magic-infused blast, he spun cartoonishly and stuck to the wall.
Forward, Go Forth was forced back by a Palm of Crumbled Flowers (Luohua Zhang). He and the priest, Clover Rift (Qianye Li Ruo), hadn't been harmed yet, but the two characters who needed protection were completely exposed to the other side's Battle Mage, making them very vulnerable.
This was just the first exchange, and the other four hadn't even fully appeared before them, yet they were already thrown into chaos.
Now, an Electric Light Wave Formation (Dian Guang Bodong Zhen) was being set up.
The buzzing, glowing electric orb seemed to be accumulating power. Everyone knew that this was the Sword Master casting a spell. Once the bar was full, all players within a spherical space centered on the electric orb would be attacked by electricity. It would be a guaranteed hit, unavoidable, whether in the air or on the ground. The only way to escape the attack was to get out of the Electric Light Wave Formation's range.
The Electric Light Wave Formation, at max level, has a spherical radius of 15 character-lengths. Given everyone's current disoriented state, and the Battle Mage's interference, it was unlikely that anyone could escape this attack.
At that moment, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim (Jun Mo Xiao) finally made his move.
He leaped to the side, and with a flick of his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella (Qianji San), a series of shots rang out as a string of bullets swept into the Heavenly Thunder, Earthly Fire.
Amidst the thunder, a faint curse seemed to emerge. The electric orb, which had been accumulating power, suddenly trembled, and everyone's hearts tightened. But instead of unleashing its electric power, it just fizzed once, like it had suddenly lost power, and disappeared in a flash.
The veterans, of course, knew that the Sword Master's casting had been interrupted by an attack. This person was hidden within the Heavenly Thunder, Earthly Fire, but he was still hit by the bullets fired by Lord Grim.
Forward, Go Forth and Clover Rift, who were in front of the Battle Mage, also scrambled to dodge. They had already seen the Battle Mage's power. He had emerged from the Heavenly Thunder, Earthly Fire unscathed, which meant what? It meant his incredible reaction time and hand speed allowed him to avoid the dense attacks of the Heavenly Thunder, Earthly Fire, slipping through the gaps. And then he quickly dealt with a total of four people, even giving Forward, Go Forth a palm strike. So powerful, Forward, Go Forth and Clover Rift, who were helpless in close combat, dared not avoid him.
As a result, the Battle Mage didn't even bother with the two of them. Directly, in one step, the battle spear stabbed towards Lord Grim. Given their positions, the stab was far off, but at the same time, a wave of magic surged from the spear, winding like a dragon. It was the Battle Mage's level 70 ultimate move, Soaring Dragon Pierces the Heavens (Fu Long Xiang Tian).
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim dodged to the side. Although the Soaring Dragon Pierces the Heavens attack had a long range, such a direct start, without any build-up, and with the target so far away, although theoretically it could hit, it gave the opponent plenty of time to dodge. Lord Grim's dodge was not at all flustered, but calmly skillful.
Who knew that the dragon formed from magical energy would suddenly shake its head at this moment, as if about to roar, and suddenly bite down on the dodging Lord Grim. Then, all the magical energy poured into Lord Grim's body, unleashing an even more powerful surge of magic than a magic-infused blast. Lord Grim was sent flying.
"What the hell!!!" Xiao Bei had just gotten up from the ground when he saw this scene, and his eyeballs almost popped out. He shouted without thinking.
It was Dragon Raises Its Head (Long Tai Tou)!!
Not only Xiao Bei, the Battle Mage player, but everyone else who saw it recognized it. The twisting of the dragon's head in this Sky Piercing Dragon Flash (Tian Xiang Long Shan) was very obvious. It was the technique that was said to be used only by Ye Qiu, the Dragon Raises Its Head of the Battle Mage's Sky Piercing Dragon Flash!
Lord Grim was only a level 52 character, with poor equipment. Being hit directly by this level 70 ultimate move, he suffered quite a bit of damage. However, after being blasted away, he still performed a standard recovery roll, landing firmly on the ground.
"Who are you?" Xiao Bei shouted.
Could it be that this Battle Mage who could use Dragon Raises Its Head and was so fierce was Ye Qiu? Was this Lord Grim actually a fraud? Xiao Bei began to suspect.
"Sun Xiang." Sun Xiang's tone was very proud. He was very satisfied with this Dragon Raises Its Head, especially being able to hit Ye Qiu with it. This was a scene he had fantasized about countless times, and now he had actually done it. It was just a pity that this was just an ordinary street in the game, without more spectators. How great would it have been if it were on the All-Star stage?
As soon as the name was spoken, Zhan Lou Lan and the others were stunned. This was a professional god! This practice today was really something. After defeating so many lackeys, was it now the turn of the final boss?
"Who is that? Is he very powerful?"
At this moment, Destroyer Tirelessly, who had been stuck to the wall, landed and immediately answered.
"Bro, are you kidding me? Did you just buy this account?" Zhan Lou Lan and the others were very surprised. Destroyer Tirelessly was famous, and those who often played online games knew about him, but they had never interacted. Today, because of Ye Xiu, they were fighting side by side, but there was no communication between them. Now, Destroyer Tirelessly actually didn't know Sun Xiang, which surprised everyone. They strongly suspected that he was a newbie, but how could a newbie have such skills? Everyone had seen Destroyer Tirelessly's ability in the battles so far, and he was no worse than them.
"You really don't know?" Ye Xiu was also surprised. It was possible that Destroyer Tirelessly didn't know him because he didn't pay much attention to the news, cared about gossip, and didn't have many friends. But not even knowing a professional god like Sun Xiang was really unlike a Glory expert. Could this really be a guy who only cared about playing the game and completely ignored everything else?
"Why would I need to know?" Destroyer Tirelessly asked back at this time.
"Trying to fool us." Sun Xiang sneered. Destroyer Tirelessly was the only one in this group who had hit him, so he was quite skilled. He absolutely didn't believe that such an expert wouldn't know a god like him.
"How was it? Are you satisfied with the taste of that Dragon Raises Its Head?" Sun Xiang ignored the guy who was "pretending" not to know him. His eyes were only on Ye Qiu, the guy he thought he could easily replace, but who was always haunting him, old but not dying.
"Hmm, not bad." Ye Xiu still looked so relaxed, but on his side, a woman was yelling loudly. That was naturally Chen Guo. She was very dissatisfied with Sun Xiang using Dragon Raises Its Head, very dissatisfied. She had no feelings for Sun Xiang before, but after learning so much, she hated the current operator of One Autumn Leaf (Yi Ye Zhi Qiu). And now, this person had actually used Dragon Raises Its Head, making Chen Guo very uncomfortable.
"Quite talented. You probably didn't know it during the All-Star Game, right?" Ye Xiu continued.
"That's right, but I'm doing it better than you now." Sun Xiang said. He had been practicing and researching like crazy since returning from the All-Star Game. Finally, he had mastered Dragon Raises Its Head, and after repeatedly comparing it with videos of Ye Qiu's Dragon Raises Its Head, Sun Xiang was sure that his Dragon Raises Its Head had a greater amplitude and covered a wider range.
"So what?" Ye Xiu said.
"..." Sun Xiang was stunned, and then he was stuck. He had performed an operation that even Ye Qiu couldn't do, and he felt a sense of revenge in his heart, but the other party looked indifferent. It was like punching cotton, which was really unpleasant!
"So what? Haha, that means you've completely become a thing of the past. Did you think that you could make people never forget you by showing off Dragon Raises Its Head at the All-Star Game? But now, you've been completely replaced. What else can you do to prove your existence?" The Heavenly Thunder, Earthly Fire disappeared, and four characters walked out from it. The one who took over Ye Xiu's words was Liu Hao, who was walking at the front, controlling the Sword Master.
Lord Grim turned slightly, obviously Ye Xiu had also glanced over here, but he still just said, "So what?"
"Hmph! Pretending!" Liu Hao was also choked by Ye Xiu's answer, and finally used a line that Sun Xiang had already used.
"I'd also like to see how long you can keep your mouth shut," Liu Hao continued. In terms of verbal provocation, he was still better than Sun Xiang.
"He Ming? Xiao Jian? Zhang Jiaxing?" Ye Xiu glanced around and guessed the identities of the several people based on their classes.
Zhan Lou Lan and the others suddenly gasped. These were all of Excellent Era's main players! The Magic Sword was not called out, but it was estimated to be Excellent Era's vice-captain, Liu Hao. This was basically a professional main team! It was just that the characters' equipment was a bit worse.
"Sorry, Captain Ye, we're going to pretend to be pigs to eat tigers today," He Ming said.
"Pretend to be pigs to eat tigers?" Ye Xiu smiled. "It's not that easy! Do you understand what it means to pretend to be pigs to eat tigers?"
"Captain Ye's behavior in the tenth server is called pretending to be pigs to eat tigers," He Ming said calmly.
"I don't think you understand enough," Ye Xiu said.
"Oh? Then I'd like to ask Captain Ye for guidance," He Ming said.
"To pretend to be pigs to eat tigers, you at least need a tiger to pretend. A pig pretending to be a pig still can't eat a tiger," Ye Xiu said.
"You..."
"I'm just using an analogy, don't take it personally," Ye Xiu said with a smile.
"Don't pay attention to him. He's always been best at this kind of trash talk," Liu Hao said in a deep voice. He didn't seem to care about Ye Xiu's sarcasm.
"Who's the pig and who's the tiger will be known soon," Sun Xiang said.
"You guys are professional players, we have absolute odds of winning now, can't you see that?" Ye Xiu said.
"Oh?" As soon as this was said, not to mention the Excellent Era people, Zhan Lou Lan and the others were a little dumbfounded.
"We have more people," Ye Xiu said.
