Hu Die Lan
Chapter 662 Blue Rain's Tactics
"Ah!!" Many Samsara fans cried out, wishing they could remind their players. Unfortunately, that was impossible. Even the loudest cheers from the live audience couldn't penetrate the soundproofing that professional players used during matches.
At this moment, the players were completely immersed in this tiny patch of land among the wind-blown weeds. But Samsara was about to be ambushed by the Blue Rain team, yet they still seemed intent on dealing with the harassing Huang Shaotian, tentatively advancing in the direction Yu Xiao Sheng Fan had fled.
Closing in!
The four Blue Rain team members were closing in.
The hearts of the home team's fans were in their throats, while the visiting team's fans were nervously clenching their fists, palms sweaty with anticipation.
Attack!
The four Blue Rain team members finally reached their desired positions. Their characters hid in the grass, beginning to execute their various attack skills.
Different skills, different techniques, and different APM (actions per minute) meant that the time required to cast each skill varied. But at this moment, all of Blue Rain's attack skills were released simultaneously.
Nu Xue Kuang Tao (Raging Blood Surge)!
Among the attacks, the most imposing was undoubtedly Yu Feng's Brilliant Sword. He directly used the Berserker's level 70 ultimate move. The Silver weapon Ben Lei Sword (Thunderbolt Sword) in the hands of Glory's number one Berserker had a light attribute attack bonus. Within the surging, boiling blood energy of Nu Xue Kuang Tao, streaks of blue and white lightning crackled, making the spectacle even more magnificent. With a single slash, the attack was overwhelming, and a large patch of green rippled like waves before being swallowed up.
Yu Wenzhou's Warlock, Suo Ke Sa Er, held the Silver weapon Mieshen de Zuzhou (Curse of the Extinguished God), which was already shrouded in black gas. At this moment, the black gas suddenly shot forward, converging at a single point, and as Brilliant Sword unleashed Nu Xue Kuang Tao, it solidified into a black revolving door that seemed to connect to another dimension. The revolving door slowly turned, and the black gas that emanated from it intertwined with the blood energy, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, coalescing into lines that lashed out like tentacles toward the surrounding targets.
Warlock skill: Death's Door. More than its attack power, its crowd control effect was favored in team battles. After the skill was released, the tentacle-like lines formed by the black gas within the door would automatically chase targets within an 18-character radius, grabbing them and quickly pulling them into the door, inflicting immense damage.
These two ultimate moves alone looked incredibly stunning, but at the same time, there was a third figure flying in mid-air.
The instant this character rushed out of the grass, his hands were already positioned to the right side of his body, holding a ball shape, with a wave of extremely vast energy rapidly condensing between his palms. The entire audience, including the commentators, and even veteran players like Ye Xiu and Wei Chen, were astonished to discover that the character leaping out of the grass was actually Tao Luo Sha Ming.
Tao Luo Sha Ming was the Qi Master character of Blue Rain team player Song Xiao, the sixth player on Blue Rain's pre-match roster. The initial roster couldn't be faked, of course, so this could only mean that he had voluntarily entered the match from the substitute position after the game had started. It hadn't been noticed, which was a major oversight by the director. They hadn't noticed this all along. As a result, without any special close-up shots, no one watching on television could have discovered this.
"Blue Rain's team actually used Song Xiao's Tao Luo Sha Ming! When did he substitute into the match? We didn't notice at all!!" The commentator shouted what was on everyone's mind. Tao Luo Sha Ming also launched his attack with this shout. Floating in mid-air, he pushed out with both hands, and an extremely powerful wave of Qi energy descended from the sky.
Qi Master skill: Hong Tian Pao (Heaven-Shaking Cannon)!
Although the skill was named "Heaven-Shaking," it didn't necessarily require being used against an aerial target. Whether on the ground or in the air, from any position or angle, as long as you could perform the operation, you could unleash this ultimate move.
Nu Xue Kuang Tao, Death's Door, Hong Tian Pao.
Blue Rain team struck with attacks that were all large-area ultimates, clearly attempting to inflict heavy damage on Samsara in one fell swoop. No one had expected that Blue Rain would play so aggressively in their away game. Huang Shaotian harassed and diverted attention, while the rest of the team took the opportunity to move in close, then launch a powerful attack. Blue Wind Zone, this map, was first utilized by Blue Rain team to its characteristics, giving Samsara team a surprise.
Accompanying this wave of massive offensive, Blue Rain team's fans roared with excitement, while Samsara's fans were holding their breath. How would their home team resolve this offensive?
They didn't resolve it!
By the time the Samsara team players realized what was happening, the three Blue Rain team members' skills had already rained down in a coordinated, overwhelming wave. Due to the existence of Death's Door, an extremely powerful control skill, it was difficult for the Samsara team players to escape the attack range while avoiding being captured by Death's Door. They would inevitably be hit by those two ultimate moves. And after being hampered by the damage from those two ultimate moves, whether they could continue to dodge Death's Door's capture became a major problem.
In such a coordinated skill combination, dodging was definitely not the best option.
Although the attacks from Nu Xue Kuang Tao and Hong Tian Pao were even more terrifying, the core of this wave of attack was definitely the Warlock's Death's Door. It was Death's Door's restraint that made it difficult for the Samsara players to advance or retreat.
The key was to break Death's Door's restraint!
One Autumn Leaf in Samsara's formation twisted and rolled, avoiding the pursuit of the lines extending from Death's Door. He raised his hands, light flowing around them, activating the Sharpshooter's state skill "Rapid Fire." Then, the trigger moved continuously, bullets firing at high speed, flying straight towards Suo Ke Sa Er over there.
Blue Rain's large-scale attack had cleared the grass in this area, so they could no longer rely on the grass to hide themselves. However, at this moment, Zhou Zekai was allowing Yi Qiang Chuan Yun to take the damage from the ultimate move, determined to interrupt Suo Ke Sa Er's spellcasting first. Death's Door, such an amazing control and high-damage ultimate move, couldn't just be cast and then ignored. The caster needed to maintain control of it. Being attacked at this time would easily interrupt the operation of Death's Door.
Zhou Zekai reacted decisively, but Blue Rain seemed to have anticipated this counterattack. Xu Jingxi's Guardian Angel, Linghun Yuzhe (Soul Speaker), stepped forward at this moment, a golden light罩(zhào, shield) covering his body. He had activated a Saint Shield, which could withstand any damage, brazenly standing in front of Suo Ke Sa Er.
The bullets flew and struck the golden light shield, silently being swallowed up. Xu Jingxi's Soul Speaker didn't suffer any damage, but the light of the Saint Shield dimmed slightly after being attacked in this way.
And after the bullets fired by One Autumn Leaf, Jiang Botao's Wave Sword had also rolled over. The Saint Shield flickered completely, but Soul Speaker still wasn't harmed in the slightest.
And then what? After that, Samsara's two offensive players couldn't exert any strength. Their two characters, an Assassin and a Grappler, had no means of attacking from a long distance. By the time they rushed out to attack, they would have already escaped the control range of Death's Door. What would be the point of interrupting then?
Blue Rain's tactical layout had completely taken into account the professional factors of Samsara. A mid-range ultimate move combination directly disarmed the two players of the Samsara team.
At this time, considering interrupting Suo Ke Sa Er's spellcasting was a very decisive action, but in this brief moment of reaction, had they considered the possible cover from the opponent? Had they considered whether their own attack methods could break through the opponent's cover in the required time?
Such questions had arisen in countless people's minds. But they didn't have time to discuss them, because the match was still going on, and many things were still happening in an instant. Just as people were having countless doubts, and even further contemplating whether Samsara's style of Zhou Zekai bearing the burden alone could overcome Blue Rain's exquisite team coordination, Zhou Zekai's One Autumn Leaf was still attacking.
In the Rapid Fire state, One Autumn Leaf swung out the Gatling Gun, the ejected bullet casings flying madly and scattering at his feet. The bullets fired in the Rapid Fire state formed a line, piercing the light shield on Soul Speaker's body like a laser beam. The light shield continuously swallowed the bullets, glittering, but still showed no signs of shattering. But this crazy offensive had already made Xu Jingxi a little nervous. He saw that Jiang Botao's Wulang had also unleashed another wave of Wave Sword attacks. However, while dodging the capture of Death's Door, his attack was somewhat off target. The Wave Sword grazed past the Saint Shield, not causing much damage. At this time, One Autumn Leaf's Gatling Gun sweep was also over, and the Saint Shield was still there.
At this moment, due to the damage influence from Nu Xue Kuang Tao and Hong Tian Pao, and the failure to interrupt Death's Door in time, the Samsara players were finally captured by the tentacle-like lines of Death's Door, being rapidly pulled into the door. On Blue Rain's side, Yu Feng and Song Xiao had finished casting their ultimate moves and were preparing to follow up with a new wave of attacks.
"Held on…………" Xu Jingxi was overjoyed. He relied on Saint Shield to successfully complete his mission of protecting Suo Ke Sa Er.
"Right?" But at this moment, he suddenly saw amidst the blood-light black line Qi energy, One Autumn Leaf, who was already entangled by the light lines extending from Death's Door and frantically flailing as he was being dragged into the door, suddenly flicked his gun and aimed the reflection of the scope toward this side…
Gunshot!
Sharpshooter level 70 ultimate move, Barrett Sniper.
The bullet left the chamber in an instant. Xu Jingxi saw a black dot rapidly enlarge before his eyes, then clearly saw this bullet pause on his Saint Shield. Then, it wasn't swallowed up, because the Saint Shield had completely dissipated.
Poof!
A burst of blood erupted from Soul Speaker's brow.
"Just breaking through my Saint Shield isn't enough! I still have people here!" Just as Xu Jingxi was about to think this, he heard the same sound behind him.
Poof!!!
Another chapter! Fierce battle huh, take a rest first, will continue to be fierce tomorrow (well, accurately speaking, I should say today)
