“What’s going on?” Chen Guo only managed to cry out in surprise when she saw all sorts of dazzling lights on the screen. She quickly reacted and wanted to move Steamed Bun Invasion, but she only managed to take two steps before she was completely unable to move. A large number of attacks continuously put Steamed Bun Invasion into a state of stiffness. Her health was flowing away like water. Chen Guo hurriedly ate a health potion, but it didn’t alleviate the situation at all.

It’s over… Chen Guo understood in her heart. Her reaction was ultimately too slow. At the start, she was able to walk a few steps, but that wasn’t because the opponent’s attacks hadn’t hit. It was only because newly-launched characters had three seconds of invincibility upon logging in. But after those three seconds, the opponent’s attacks immediately took effect, and Chen Guo wasn’t able to make Steamed Bun Invasion escape in time. For a time, her eyes were filled with dazzling lights, and she couldn’t even distinguish how many skills were bombarding Steamed Bun Invasion. She only saw the various status symbols next to her character’s little portrait, densely packed like maggots growing on a rotting corpse, making her nauseous.

Things had already reached this point, so Chen Guo no longer held any hope. She just hurriedly looked towards Ye Xiu’s side. She felt that this kind of sneak attack was definitely aimed at Ye Xiu.

Pa pa pa pa pa...

On Ye Xiu’s side was the sound of super-rapid operations. His hands danced continuously on the mouse and keyboard, and his expression was also very serious. Obviously, he wasn’t having an easy time dealing with it. On his screen, Lord Grim was moving at high speed. Continuous streams of light and shadow streaked past him, making Chen Guo’s heart clench.

The sound of a system notification rang out, unusually clear amidst the various attacks. She knew that her Steamed Bun Invasion had finally fallen.

She quickly opened her equipment and took a look. When she saw that her weapon hadn’t dropped, Chen Guo first breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she checked and saw that she had dropped a ring. It was a piece of blue equipment from a dungeon that wasn’t too valuable, so Chen Guo didn’t take it to heart.

The floating soul perspective allowed one to survey the entire scene from the air. However, the soul perspective was only in black and white, so the light and shadows of the skills were even more indistinguishable on Chen Guo’s screen. Fortunately, those skills stopped after killing Steamed Bun Invasion. Chen Guo was looking for where Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim was when she saw a gray shadow directly streak across her screen.

A character’s soul was formless. Clearly, that character had directly flown past her soul’s location, which was why it felt like it was right in front of her eyes.

Chen Guo took a look at the gray shadow that had streaked past. Wasn’t that Lord Grim?

A propeller spun overhead. He had used a Mechanic’s Mechanical Wings skill to fly over. Immediately afterwards, Chen Guo saw a Witch riding a broom diagonally flying over. He jumped in the air and swept his broom towards Lord Grim.

Lord Grim quickly retracted his Mechanical Wings. Before the Witch’s broom could sweep down, he fired a shot.

Bang! The muzzle flashed, and the Witch was shot down. Lord Grim also used the recoil of the shot to fly out diagonally. But midway, he suddenly drew his sword and used a Falling Light Blade to fall rapidly towards the ground. Almost at the same time, a dazzling sword light tore through the air.

Swordsman skill: Sky Strike.

The sword light scattered, like a silver river falling to the ground, and brushed past Lord Grim. It was very obvious that if Lord Grim hadn’t used the Falling Light Blade to fall rapidly, he would have been knocked down by the Sky Strike.

But even though that strike missed, a second strike had already arrived.

A dark red blade shadow domineeringly descended on Lord Grim, who hadn’t even touched the ground yet. This Berserker’s skill, “Bloodbath Blade”, could either slash down or slash horizontally. Right now, the Berserker was using a horizontal slash. There was no way for Lord Grim, who hadn’t landed yet, to dodge. Thus, a sword light flickered, and with a “clang”, he used a block operation to defend, meeting the attack with his sword.

Blocking was essentially an attack against an attack, so the final result had to be determined by comparing the strength of both attacks. Lord Grim’s level was low, and he wasn’t using any skills. Obviously, he couldn’t compare to the Bloodbath Blade. The Bloodbath Blade’s slash directly knocked Lord Grim’s defensive block aside. The dark red blade shadow continued to slash horizontally. Its momentum seemed like it wanted to cut Lord Grim in half at the waist.

Clang!

As a result, there was another crisp sound. The sword in Lord Grim’s right hand was knocked aside, but the umbrella shaft in his left hand actually struck again...

Dual Blade Dance!

Chen Guo was stunned. She had been playing with Ye Xiu for a long time, but this was the first time she had seen the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella perform a Dual Blade Dance attack. This type of attack required a corresponding weapon as its foundation. Among the various weapons in Glory, there were only dual blades in the Dark Night series.

The four classes in the Dark Night series were Assassin, Thief, Ninja, and Warlock.

Among them, the Assassin was the most capable of utilizing Dual Blade Dance. The player in the professional alliance who was known for this was the captain of Team 301, Yang Cong. His character, Scenery Killer, wielded the silver weapon “Linger Disturbance”, which was also the most famous dual blade in Glory.

An Assassin who used dual blades as a weapon would be wasting his talent if he didn’t research Dual Blade Dance. Yang Cong’s Dual Blade Dance technique was absolutely top-notch. In fact, the main reason he was able to become an All-Star was because of his strength and performance. Scenery Killer’s character couldn’t really be considered an outstanding powerhouse in the alliance.

Dual Blade Dance could be said to be the bane of block operations, but block operations also had their own unique advantages. At this time, Ye Xiu was using this point to create two judgments against the Bloodbath Blade. The first time, his weapon was knocked away. The second time, he finally managed to block, but the judgment still wasn’t strong enough to completely block the Bloodbath Blade’s attack. The Bloodbath Blade’s blade shadow still swept over, but after Lord Grim’s block, he used the blade’s force to fly away.

With this flight, the series of continuous attacks that came crashing down were actually dodged by Lord Grim again. In fact, if Ye Xiu really wanted to resist the Bloodbath Blade, he could have used the Swordsman skill “Guard”, which would definitely have been more effective than the block operation. But at this time, Ye Xiu needed the incomplete blocking effect of the block. If he had used “Guard”, the blow-away effect of the Bloodbath Blade would have been greatly reduced. By using the block operation, he was able to use the blow-away effect for a high-speed shift, instantly dodging a series of attacks.

After landing, Lord Grim rolled on the spot... and then left the range of Chen Guo’s Steamed Bun Invasion’s soul perspective.

The soul perspective couldn’t be changed. Chen Guo couldn’t see it herself, so she had to look at Ye Xiu’s screen. However, the flashing of the screen under such high-speed operation continued to make her dizzy as always. She could only see the various attacking lights flashing continuously on Ye Xiu’s screen. Lord Grim was like a commando weaving through artillery fire, dodging in all sorts of amazing ways.

His health was still decreasing in the various clashes. For example, when he blocked the Bloodbath Blade, even using the “Guard” skill couldn’t completely negate the damage under such level suppression, let alone a normal block operation. However, compared to his health, what was more concerning was Lord Grim’s rapidly decreasing stamina.

Stamina wasn’t just consumed by the acceleration of running. Walking, jumping, tumbling, and even normal attacks could consume stamina to enhance their effects. Lord Grim’s stamina was decreasing so quickly, which meant he had been using enhanced versions of all kinds of movements.

This was how he was able to survive until now, but what would happen once his stamina was exhausted?

Chen Guo was very anxious, but she couldn’t help at all. She couldn’t even bear to look at Ye Xiu’s screen. She turned back to her own screen and saw people occasionally jumping in and out of her field of vision, their direction basically towards the boundary where Lord Grim had disappeared.

Which guild’s people are they again?

Chen Guo paid attention to the names of the characters that entered her field of vision. No one was wearing a guild tag. She didn’t know if they really weren’t in a guild, or if they had hidden their tags.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

Ye Xiu operated while silently counting in his heart.

He didn’t have any extra time to look around and observe what kind of opponents they were. He could only slightly judge the number of people based on the skills he had dodged.

15...

In the blink of an eye, the number in his heart had reached 15.

This was only the most conservative estimation method. The basis for his judgment was that Lord Grim had dodged attacks from fifteen classes, which meant that there were at least 15 characters surrounding him.

This was a premeditated ambush.

Ye Xiu was clear about this in his heart. The instant he logged in, he noticed the scorched marks on the ground, the remnants of a Fire Elemental Mage’s fire spell. They hadn’t been refreshed yet, which meant that the attack had just happened recently, and there were players nearby.

There were people, so Ye Xiu was naturally alert. He quickly turned around to observe and immediately saw more skill traces in addition to the scorched marks.

There was more than one person!

At that moment, Ye Xiu was already clear. And those skill traces that he saw were very methodical to Ye Xiu. Therefore, at the first moment, he was already trying to rush out of the range of those traces.

He succeeded, but unfortunately, Chen Guo wasn’t able to dodge.

The other party’s intentions were clear, but Ye Xiu didn’t have time to care about their background.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!

A series of explosions came from a Launcher’s Cluster Bomb. Lord Grim had just dodged it, and a sea of fire exploded behind him. The continuously stamina-consuming enhanced movements still couldn’t shake off the other party’s entanglement. The other party was predicting Lord Grim’s movements, and someone was constantly making pre-emptive attacks.

Apart from the initial wave of attacks, the other party hadn’t tried to focus fire on a target again. The continuous attacks were intended to grind Lord Grim to death, which was the same technique Ye Xiu used to command Zhan Lou Lan and the others to kill Sun Xiang.

He never thought that the trick he had just used would be used on him in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, these people’s techniques and coordination weren’t as good as Zhan Lou Lan’s, and Ye Xiu’s experience was far above Sun Xiang’s. Through a series of operations that avoided the heavy and focused on the light, Ye Xiu managed to keep Lord Grim alive from the encirclement of more people.

But this was definitely not a long-term solution. Dodging such attacks consumed a lot of energy, both personal energy and the character’s health and stamina. Lord Grim was only level 54, and Ye Xiu couldn’t completely escape. Continuing to persist like this would only lead to death sooner or later.
