Hu Die Lan
Chapter 218 Loves to Join in the Fun
A blade formation!
Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash cleaved down with his Evil Ghost Chopping Blade, the power of the blade spirit's ghost god already overflowing from the blade. The blade formation's boundary was a perfect circle, and after it formed, Tang Rou's Soft Mist happened to step exactly one step within the blade formation's range. The power and intelligence double attribute buffs only served to make her more violent.
At the other end of the blade formation, Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist also happened to be just one step within the blade formation's range, making the Gunner's explosive power even more astonishing.
Clearly, Qiao Yifan had calculated the distance of this blade formation perfectly, enveloping both of them within its range. His control was undeniably precise. Then, he swung the Evil Ghost Chopping Blade once more, preparing to cast an Ice Formation. The Ice Formation was for use against the enemy, so it naturally wouldn't be in the same location as the blade formation. One Inch Ash had already rushed forward a few steps and assumed his stance, beginning to chant.
"Interrupt him!" the captain of Team Void shouted hastily. One of the team's Grapplers responded, leaping forward. However, three "boom boom boom" sounds rang out, and the Grappler was blasted into a charred mess, sliding backward several steps. It was Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist who had thrown an Anti-Tank Missile to cover One Inch Ash.
With just that little bit of time bought, One Inch Ash's Ice Formation was completed.
"Retreat!" the captain of Team Void shouted again.
The most invincible way to deal with a Ghost Swordsman's ghost formations was undoubtedly to retreat outside of the boundary. That way, no matter how terrifying the ghost formation's power was, it would just be a backdrop.
But thinking they could retreat just like that, the captain had clearly underestimated his opponent. Just as he finished speaking, Soft Mist's Scarlet Moon spear had already stabbed toward him. The captain was still jumping backward to dodge outside the Ice Formation, but he didn't expect the spear to come so quickly. Caught off guard, he was stabbed. Tang Rou was using Circle Swing, using the captain as a weapon, and immediately slammed him toward the other two players.
The captain who was grabbed by Circle Swing was bound to fall to the ground. The other two players were only knocked over by the shockwave, and they both performed successful Ukemi rolls in time, rolling away. But Qiao Yifan had already come to assist after casting the Ice Formation. The two of them had successfully executed their Ukemi and were happily rolling around. Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash unleashed a Ghost Slash.
The Ghost Slash skill had a long linear attack range. With this slash, a violet streak, the two players rolling around like meat dumplings were pierced by the violet light, immediately and neatly unfolding together, directly slashed to the ground.
The other two players had successfully retreated out of the Ice Formation. But when they saw that out of the five brothers, three were left behind, and only the two of them had escaped, they didn't know how to coordinate for a moment. Should they go up to rescue them, or not?
The Swordsman player among the two was smart and turned around to charge back. Standing one step away from the Ice Formation, he slashed at One Inch Ash inside the Ice Formation. Qiao Yifan immediately performed a roll, One Inch Ash dodged the slash with a forward roll, and then rose to unleash a Moonlight Slash. The Swordsman was sent flying into the air. One Inch Ash jumped into the air, turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and used the Swordsman skill "Falling Light Blade," bringing the Swordsman back into the Ice Formation, also knocking over a player who had just stood up in the Ice Formation.
Pitiful were the five players from Team Void at this point, not knowing what coordination was anymore. All five were fighting individually, unable to see their opponents and unable to find their teammates. All they could see were the dancing Battle Mage Chasers of various colors, and the Ghost Swordsman's cursed blade light. And the Gunner standing far away, sending them shells at the most unwanted times to add to the fun.
The most awkward was the one who had escaped the Ice Formation and was ignored afterward. At this point, it wasn't right to go up and fight, and it wasn't good to run away. After hesitating for a few seconds, one of his brothers in the Ice Formation cursed and fell.
Tang Rou, Qiao Yifan, and Su Mucheng who was providing support from afar, focused on attacking the four while also paying attention to focusing their fire, efficiently eliminating one of them.
"Withdraw!" the captain of Team Void finally shouted again.
Since the start of the battle, the captain had been working hard to command, and he had given a total of three orders. "Interrupt," "Retreat," "Withdraw." From these simple four words and three orders, one could clearly see their transition from preparing to face the battle head-on, to beginning to fall into a disadvantage, and then to being completely unable to resist and preparing to escape.
It was a pity that only the player outside the Ice Formation had the chance to carry out the captain's final order. The captain was knocked over by Soft Mist's spear right after giving the order, and a Chaser flew up and directly exploded, killing him. Although the other two didn't die, they were floating in the sky! It was estimated that by the time they landed, they would be almost done for. The player came back to his senses and hurriedly tried to dodge, but it was too late. Soft Mist killed the captain and immediately charged toward him. With the movement speed bonus from the no-attribute Chaser under her feet, her movement speed was faster by several percentage points, and Su Mucheng had also coordinated her attacks to disrupt the guy's intention to leave, resulting in him being caught by Tang Rou tragically.
"Almost escaped," Tang Rou said, using a Falling Flower Palm to blast the guy back, and Qiao Yifan followed up with a slash. At this point, the two of them were fighting three, and there was no suspense at all. Only then did Su Mucheng stop paying attention to their side and turned around to send a shot to Blooming Valley's guild leader, Backlight Bomb.
Ye Xiu's side wasn't doing badly either. They had already taken down two people. It was just that Backlight Bomb was a bit difficult to deal with.
Ye Xiu estimated that this person was a fan of Blooming Valley's great god, retired captain Zhang Jiale. It was just that he failed to imitate him properly. The same class, imitating the same playstyle. He hadn't learned Zhang Jiale's dazzling style at all, but he was playing extremely dirty. As a result, he was evenly matched with Steamed Bun Invasion, the two of them competing in being dirty.
This bro was clearly so engrossed in fighting Steamed Bun Invasion that he forgot he was leading a team! When he suddenly came back to his senses, two of his team members had already collapsed. The Cleric who had been blasted away by Lord Grim's Falling Flower Palm wanted to come back to support, but he was bombed by Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist and was running around like crazy.
As a result, this distraction allowed Steamed Bun Invasion to take advantage of the situation. He used Throat-Slitting and then followed up with a brick with unparalleled skill and smoothness. He continued with punches and kicks, and Backlight Bomb was clearly unable to defend. After all, the Launcher was a mid-to-long-range class, and close-quarters combat was not this class's forte.
The battle situation was now completely stable. Killing the remaining guys was just a matter of time. Then Ye Xiu said that this intersection was one of the most common intersections for leaving First Line Canyon, and he wasn't wrong. Another five-man team from a guild appeared at the intersection. These guild experts had similar dungeon clear speeds, and the differences were mostly due to the different dungeon entrances, resulting in them returning at different times.
Tyrannical Ambition!
Ye Xiu immediately saw the guild's name, and he even recognized one of the people in the team.
Loves to Join in the Fun.
This ID appearing here suddenly was quite fitting. Ye Xiu still remembered this Elementalist, who had cleared the Frost Forest dungeon record with them back then. Ye Xiu had seen from the start that this person wasn't a newbie, and he had been impressed by him during the dungeon record battle. Although this person's hand speed might not be as good as Tang Rou's and Steamed Bun Invasion's, his understanding of Glory and his skill in operating the game were definitely not comparable to Tang Rou's and Steamed Bun Invasion's.
This person was undoubtedly the highest-level ordinary player that Ye Xiu had seen in the tenth server, even stronger than that arrogant guy, Around the Tree Herb, who had directly fought with him.
Hand speed doesn't determine everything. With this person's level, even if his hand speed was slightly inferior to Tang Rou's and Steamed Bun Invasion's, he still had the strength to fight them.
However, was the Loves to Join in the Fun from back then still the same Loves to Join in the Fun now?
This kind of expert that was hard to find even with a lantern, Ye Xiu believed wouldn't be a nobody in Tyrannical Ambition. He must be an old bird from the Heavenly Domain, temporarily here to carry for the dungeon record. So, was this Loves to Join in the Fun the real Loves to Join in the Fun, or the expert who had cleared the record with them back then?
Jiang You was also surprised when he saw Lord Grim's group.
He had received the message from Drifting Water, knowing about the news of Midnight Blue's team being killed. Drifting Water had also reminded him to be careful when leaving the dungeon.
Jiang You was careful when leaving the dungeon, but after finding that Lord Grim wasn't there, he didn't take it seriously anymore, only thinking that Lord Grim and the others were still fighting in the dungeon. He never expected to encounter Lord Grim and the others when leaving here, as well as the two teams from Blooming Valley and Team Void that were about to be eliminated by them.
"Go!" Jiang You didn't hesitate much. Among the teams that encountered Lord Grim before and after, he was the first to actively launch an attack before Lord Grim and the others.
Jiang You had a clear understanding of the situation.
He had only cleared a dungeon with Lord Grim once, so he couldn't accurately judge the depth of this person's strength. After all, it was just a simple dungeon, and there was very little that could be seen.
However, at this moment, Jiang You had enough information to make a deduction based solely on what he saw.
Lord Grim's group was fighting Blooming Valley and Team Void's two teams with five against ten. They had already killed half of them and had a complete advantage. The strength was how strong, pk was the most truthful.
Jiang You was leading not only the tenth server, but also the most elite experts of their Tyrannical Ambition. Even with five against five, he still didn't have much confidence. So, he didn't want to watch any more of this. He wanted to save the people from Blooming Valley and Team Void, and only by cooperating with them could they put real pressure on Lord Grim and the others.
Flame Explosion!
Jiang You only used such a small spell to start. Spells like Flame Impact had a larger attack range and more power, but Lord Grim and the others were currently entangled with the people from those two guilds. They hadn't teamed up with Jiang You and the others, so they could also be killed. Seeing those guys being beaten up by Lord Grim and the others, Jiang You was afraid that if he bombarded them with a spell, those guys would die at his hands.
The Flame Explosion flew straight towards Lord Grim. But there was no way Ye Xiu would be hit so easily. He dodged the Flame Explosion to the side, and with a thrust of his spear, he made the opponent retreat a step, resulting in the person crashing into the Flame Explosion that Jiang You's Loves to Join in the Fun had thrown.
"Damn, this guy is too bad," Jiang You cursed inwardly while hurriedly sending a message to Drifting Water: "Lord Grim, coordinates 2875, 3400."
