Hu Die Lan
Chapter 711 Elemental Mage Charges
Flame Impact!
A pillar of fire shot up from behind a stone pillar, engulfing Fenyanjing. Zhao Yuzhe loved this technique, as it gave him a dazzling entrance. Moreover, it could throw off the opponent's preparations, leaving them disoriented. The thought of it pleased Zhao Yuzhe immensely.
This time, the opponent would surely be the same, right?
So thought Zhao Yuzhe, only to discover that when he swiftly completed a spell and prepared to attack his target, he was the one who couldn't find his target!
Of course, he could see many characters in his field of vision, but none of them was his target. Where was that Wudao Jun?
Zhao Yuzhe was still smugly thinking that the other would be unable to find him, but never expected that in the blink of an eye, he would be the one unable to find his target. The pillar of fire from Flame Impact would shield him, but it would also affect his vision to some extent. As a result, with the momentary blur, Wudao Jun had vanished. All around him were players running and fighting. Where had he gone?
The skill was already cast, and the cooldown had been used. It would be a waste not to use it, so Zhao Yuzhe reluctantly cast the Thunder and Fire of the Sky and Earth towards the location where he remembered Wudao Jun being.
Fenyanjing landed in the blink of an eye. Thunder and fire crackled there, but Wudao Jun was still nowhere to be seen. In such a large-scale team battle, finding a specific target was not easy, even for professional players. Their training didn't include such scenarios, and their professional matches were at most five-on-five. How could they compare to the chaos before them?
However, every professional player came from online games. How else would their talent be discovered? Zhao Yuzhe was no stranger to large-scale battles in the game, but at the moment, he had no interest in the outcome of the team battle. He just wanted to find that Wudao Jun as soon as possible.
That was what Zhao Yuzhe thought, but in the chaos of battle, who would cater to his thoughts? Bearing the name of Team Howling Heights' guild, he was naturally a target for the Justice Ascend guild. As soon as he landed, several players' attacks came at him.
Zhao Yuzhe's control was indeed impressive. Fenyanjing landed and turned 180 degrees. Several instant-cast skills of the Elementalist were cast one after another. The players charging towards him were all blocked, and then an elemental force was condensed. This large-area knock-up directly sucked away three players. Zhao Yuzhe didn't even think of getting entangled with these people, and directly broke into the depths of the battlefield from the position of the three who were sucked away. Zhao Yuzhe really didn't take the players in the online game too seriously, charging into battle like a Battle Mage.
Of course, if he were facing so many enemies alone, he wouldn't be so reckless. Because he knew in his heart that he was not fighting alone. Although he hadn't explicitly acknowledged it, he was still satisfied with the Howling Heights players' proactive coordination with his attacks.
It was still the case at this time. Matian Xifeng knew that it was impossible for him to command Zhao Yuzhe, so he simply commanded others to cooperate with Zhao Yuzhe. This approach was indeed effective. After all, Zhao Yuzhe's level was much higher. He easily tore open a gap in Justice Ascend's formation, and Matian Xifeng immediately commanded his subordinates to coordinate and charge up.
Although Zhao Yuzhe's goal was not the team battle, Matian Xifeng had at least made full use of his value.
"Cut off their connection with the Boss, that Knight!" Matian Xifeng shouted.
He hoped that Zhao Yuzhe could see this and help them attack that Knight, but he knew it was a luxury. Zhao Yuzhe was only focused on teaching the great god a lesson and showing off, and didn't care about the Boss at all.
Before he could finish shouting, he saw a spell strike the Knight, and it happened to be at the moment when the Knight was about to defend against the Boss's attack. This combined attack and defense not only dealt damage to the Knight but also disrupted his rhythm. Gladiator Vitalius's sharp attack directly knocked the Knight to the ground.
This attack was too beautiful!
Matian Xifeng praised wildly in his heart, and upon seeing that the one who made the move was Zhao Yuzhe's Fenyanjing, Matian Xifeng's impression of Zhao Yuzhe was greatly changed. At critical moments, this kid was still worth relying on!
"Cover him!" On the Justice Ascend side, eighty percent of Ye Xiu's attention was on the Boss, so how could he not have seen this attack? Although their Knight squad was leading the Boss all the way, the key to snatching the Boss was actually on this Holy Knight called Western Paladin. The other Holy Knights were only relying on mandatory aggro skills to persist, which couldn't last long. The establishment of stable aggro fell on Western Paladin's shoulders.
Justice Ascend had not neglected protecting Western Paladin, but Zhao Yuzhe was not an ordinary person after all, and his attack was extremely precise. With the help of Gladiator Vitalius's attack, he had created a great crisis for Western Paladin. This was because Western Paladin was not Gladiator Vitalius's continuous target. His aggro was being forcibly pulled by the Knight squad, and Vitalius was just clearing obstacles along the way as he charged towards the target. The Boss wasn't stupid enough to ignore the other players around him as if they were harmless ants while staring at the aggro target.
As a result, when Gladiator Vitalius launched a non-frequent attack towards Western Paladin, Zhao Yuzhe made his move, demonstrating his professional-level ability to seize opportunities.
Ye Xiu quickly ordered the players to step forward to protect him, and together with the other healers, frantically healed Western Paladin's health. Fortunately, Gladiator Vitalius's aggro was not on Western Paladin after all, and he didn't continue to pursue. Otherwise, if he had persisted in hunting after that strike, even a god would have had difficulty saving Western Paladin.
Gladiator Vitalius did not continue, but the people from Howling Heights would not miss this opportunity. Matian Xifeng had already commanded his subordinates to launch a strong charge, willing to do anything to take down this Western Paladin first.
But this was already within Ye Xiu's calculations. After Western Paladin was rescued, he immediately stopped chasing after Gladiator Vitalius and attacking him. Under the cover of the players, he temporarily retreated to the side. Temporarily stopping the attack would reduce aggro over time, but right now, survival was the priority, and they couldn't worry about the decrease in aggro.
Ye Xiu's decisiveness was very timely. Although the people from Howling Heights pounced fiercely, the target was instantly covered by the crowd. No matter how fiercely they fought, the strategic goal could not be achieved. In the midst of the two sides' mutual killing, Ye Xiu finally paid attention to the Elementalist, Fenyanjing. That attack just now, unless it was a coincidence, was definitely the work of a master in terms of both awareness and technique. Any player with a bit of insight could see that.
"Who is that person?" Ye Xiu asked Qianye Lire whilst standing beside him, because he was using a Priest this time, Ye Xiu's Wudao Jun often stood together with Qianye Lire of the same class.
"Who?" Qianye Lire didn't know who the great god was referring to with his sudden question.
"That Elementalist, Fenyanjing," Ye Xiu said.
"Don't know, don't recognize him," Qianye Lire said.
"Not bad," Ye Xiu said, having watched him for a while. From his attack techniques, he had already confirmed that this person was indeed a master, and that last attack was no coincidence.
"Pretty good," Frontwave Gulou also chimed in. People of the same class always habitually compared themselves to each other. Frontwave Gulou had been comparing himself since he started paying attention to this guy, and the result shocked him. This person was definitely no ordinary master.
While Ye Xiu and the others were secretly observing Fenyanjing, Zhao Yuzhe was constantly searching and finally discovered Wudao Jun in the crowd.
As expected, he was still here!
Zhao Yuzhe was pleased. Matian Xifeng thought that his attack on Western Paladin was for the sake of the bigger picture, prioritizing snatching the Boss, but in reality, Zhao Yuzhe was thinking more about disrupting the other side's core, key person, and drawing out Wudao Jun. Now that he had finally found his target, Zhao Yuzhe immediately abandoned the fierce conflict over the Boss and headed straight for Wudao Jun.
This sudden change of target caught Matian Xifeng off guard. Although the two sides had not communicated, Matian Xifeng had always sent people to cooperate with Zhao Yuzhe's actions. But now was the critical moment for snatching the Boss, and Zhao Yuzhe's Fenyanjing suddenly went elsewhere...
Matian Xifeng turned his perspective and saw Wudao Jun over there as well.
Was he still trying to capture the leader first? Matian Xifeng thought to himself. Thinking about it, it was a good thing. Removing this obstacle would surely make many things easier, right?
So, while commanding the players here to continue attacking and cutting off the connection between the Boss and Justice Ascend, Matian Xifeng also divided a portion of the people to cooperate with Zhao Yuzhe's charge.
"He's charging over!" Frontwave Gulou exclaimed in surprise when he saw Fenyanjing charging over like a Battle Mage.
He's charging over!
Such a description was rarely used for an Elementalist!
"He's coming for you, great god!" Qianye Lire called out.
"Protect me," Ye Xiu said.
These words were perfectly normal coming from a Priest, but Frontwave Gulou and Qianye Lire felt a million times awkward hearing them from the Priest in front of them...
Despite his thoughts, he still had to do what he had to do.
Frontwave Gulou waved his staff and chanted a fire wall, pushing it towards Fenyanjing, who was charging over.
Fenyanjing flashed and teleported directly, crossing the fire wall in an instant. He waved his staff and cast a fire wall backhandedly, pushing it towards Ye Xiu and the other two. The other Howling Heights players who were cooperating with the charge ignored the fire wall. They had Priests with them who could withstand that bit of damage.
The fire wall came pushing over, Ye Xiu commanded Wudao Jun to keep retreating, while still directing the Holy Knights over there.
"Pull him towards the trap zone!" Ye Xiu didn't shout this out loud, but sent it to the team channel.
The Holy Knights understood. This was a step of ambush they had planned long ago. The Holy Knights who were constantly taunting and roaring locked onto the direction and pulled Gladiator Vitalius over.
The Thief players who had set up the traps were all shining-eyed. This moment, they had been waiting for so long!
