Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1697 Pretense
Fang Rui launched another attack. This Qi Blade used the NPC attacking him as cover, so Zhou Zekai never saw the movement from beginning to end. That NPC seemed to be colluding with Fang Rui, and as soon as the Qi Blade flew out, he cooperated by moving to the side.
One Autumn Leaf immediately appeared in Fang Rui's sight. The two gun muzzles were dark and locked onto the front of Boundless Sea. Behind Boundless Sea, three NPCs were also lined up, attacking. For a moment, Boundless Sea seemed to be caught in a pincer attack, but Fang Rui didn't panic at all.
He was completely aware of Boundless Sea's situation. The distance between One Autumn Leaf in front and the three NPCs behind was all within his calculations.
Would Zhou Zekai let One Autumn Leaf attack?
Fang Rui wasn't completely sure. He only knew that at this distance, if One Autumn Leaf fired, he was still confident he could dodge a little. If he did, the three NPCs behind him would be hit by the bullets, and One Autumn Leaf would build up aggro there, which Zhou Zekai probably didn't want to see.
So, fire!
Boundless Sea waved his hand, using a Palm of the Cloud to ruthlessly push away the NPC who had just provided cover for him, exposing his figure more to One Autumn Leaf's gun muzzle.
Bang, bang!
The gun fired!
One Autumn Leaf fired, and the Desolate Fire in his right hand and the Shattered Frost in his left hand both spat out flames. Two bullets flew out.
Fang Rui, who was already prepared, immediately executed a ready operation, and Boundless Sea immediately lowered his body.
The two bullets streaked past, almost grazing Boundless Sea's shoulder.
Dodged!
Fang Rui was satisfied, but then he didn't hear the sound of bullets hitting from behind.
A strong enemy was right in front of him, and Fang Rui had no way to turn his head to look behind him, but the audience outside the arena could see clearly. Although the three NPCs behind him were attacking side by side, there were always some gaps between them. Even if they were closer together, shoulder to shoulder, their heads couldn't possibly be squeezed together.
The two bullets fired by One Autumn Leaf were dodged by Boundless Sea, and then flew through the gap between the heads of the three NPCs, without hitting any of them.
Samsara fans applauded frantically. They had also seen through Fang Rui's plan, but Zhou Zekai relied on precise operations to make Fang Rui's plan fail, which made them extremely excited.
But Fang Rui's mind didn't linger on this at all. Boundless Sea, who had crouched down, continued to charge forward in Fang Rui's most skilled, wretched posture.
Qi Blade!
This attack that Boundless Sea had secretly released earlier had already reached One Autumn Leaf at the same time as the two shots were fired. But Zhou Zekai had obviously noticed this. After the two shots, One Autumn Leaf's figure also lowered. The Qi Blade flew over his head, and One Autumn Leaf half-squatted on the ground, still holding his guns steadily.
Bang! Bang!
Two more shots, but unlike the previous two shots, these two shots clearly had a time interval. What Zhou Zekai was staring at wasn't just Fang Rui's Boundless Sea, but also the NPCs behind Boundless Sea. The gap created by these two shots was also sold to the NPCs behind Boundless Sea.
At this distance, it was really difficult to dodge bullets, but Fang Rui was no ordinary person after all. Boundless Sea's wretched posture, a roll, was really fast.
The two shots missed again, but the interval was precisely calculated according to the movement patterns of the three NPCs. The low-flying bullets finally flew through the gaps in their steps.
The applause didn't stop at all. As a sharpshooter, Zhou Zekai was able to not attract NPC aggro and attack in this situation, his precise operation was unbelievable.
He is quite powerful!
After four consecutive shots, the NPCs' aggro didn't shift at all. Fang Rui naturally knew that Zhou Zekai's four shots were all fired through the gaps, and knew how difficult such an operation was.
But difficult is difficult, and powerful is powerful. As for threat, it's just so-so.
Zhou Zekai was still restricted. Not wanting to attract NPC aggro caused his attacks to be constrained. He couldn't establish a sustainable and smooth rhythm. Such an attack was, at most, intimidation.
Did you think you could scare me like this?
Fang Rui sneered. Boundless Sea continued to change his route. In front of him, to his left, to his right, and behind him, NPCs were rushing up everywhere, and ranged skills were raining down everywhere.
Zhou Zekai's One Autumn Leaf didn't stand still either. He also moved nimbly in this chaos, looking for angles and opportunities to attack.
The gun would fire from time to time. He continued to attack. Saying it wasn't rhythmic, saying it wasn't much of a threat, but Fang Rui hadn't found a way to completely restrict it. Zhou Zekai didn't forcefully attack this time. He began to patiently deal with Fang Rui. He wasn't in a hurry. It was always Fang Rui who was consuming more. Whether it was his own operation or his character's health and mana, he was consuming more. Dealing with so many NPCs wasn't a problem for professional players, but it couldn't be said to be a laughing matter.
The situation began to become very delicate.
Zhou Zekai was restricted, but Fang Rui couldn't say he was completely burden-free.
Who would make a mistake first? Who could seize a bigger opportunity first?
Boundless Sea spun around with a bunch of NPCs, and One Autumn Leaf's gun muzzle was always looking for gaps in the crowd. Zhou Zekai was looking for opportunities, and was also paying close attention to the actions of the NPCs. He knew that Fang Rui wasn't just using these NPCs as shields.
As a result, just as he dodged another attack that killed with a borrowed knife, his figure swayed, and Boundless Sea suddenly disappeared completely from his sight.
In that pile!
Zhou Zekai at least still caught the direction. Boundless Sea suddenly didn't charge towards One Autumn Leaf, but suddenly moved sideways and naturally swept into a pile of NPCs.
One Autumn Leaf quickly moved sideways. To be honest, every time Boundless Sea made an unexpected move, Zhou Zekai felt a little apprehensive. He knew the cunning and wretchedness of this player who was in the same class as him.

Moving sideways, the field of vision was pulled to ninety degrees, but Boundless Sea's figure was still not there. That group of NPCs seemed to have completely captured Boundless Sea. More NPCs, more attacks were being closely greeted.
Boom!
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the ground. Zhou Zekai's vision shook slightly. This was a tremor from the earth.
One Autumn Leaf only felt a slight shake, but in that instant, many of those NPCs were directly bounced into the air.
Landmine Eruption!
Fang Rui's Boundless Sea had undoubtedly used this skill.
But, this crowd was something he had taken the initiative to plunge into. Now he was using skills to disperse the crowd. What was his conspiracy?
Boundless Sea seemed to be trying to get out of trouble, but instead of letting One Autumn Leaf step forward to try to stop him, Zhou Zekai took two steps back.
In this match, he no longer fought hard and killed hard. What he showed was impeccable patience. He would never rashly interfere in a situation he didn't understand.
Boom!
Another muffled sound. Spiritual energy exploded in the NPC crowd, and several more NPCs were blown away. Some flew directly out, and some rolled and crawled, crashing towards One Autumn Leaf.
One Autumn Leaf suddenly made a move, rolling forward at this moment!
The sudden lowering of his field of vision allowed him to see, from the bottom up, Boundless Sea, who was curled up into a ball and jumping in mid-air behind a flying NPC.
Exposed!
Boundless Sea, who was hiding in the NPC crowd in an attempt to conceal his whereabouts, was finally captured by Zhou Zekai. At this point, he had no choice but to attack with a stiff scalp.
Qi Flow Straight Down!
Boundless Sea slapped out with both palms, and spiritual energy slammed down.
One Autumn Leaf had already rolled away to avoid it. Attacking high points from low points, even if the bullet missed, it would fly diagonally into the sky and would not attack any NPCs.
So at this moment, One Autumn Leaf's attack was not reserved at all.
Kaka.
While rolling, what was held in One Autumn Leaf's hands was a long gun. The muzzle was pointed at Boundless Sea in mid-air. The bullet was loaded and fired!
Barrett Sniper!
At such a close range, there was no way to avoid the Barrett Sniper. Zhou Zekai, who was pursuing maximum output, naturally bombarded Boundless Sea's head with this shot.
Pa!
This shot hit extremely accurately, right in Boundless Sea's head, dealing double damage. A cloud of blood mist bloomed in the air.
The powerful impact forced Boundless Sea in mid-air to change his original jumping trajectory.
Zhou Zekai wouldn't give up. If there was no opportunity, he could maintain full patience. But when the opportunity arose, his explosiveness was always unreserved.
Double Control!
One Autumn Leaf cleared the Barrett Sniper that had just cooled down, raised the long gun again, and loaded another bullet. The target was still the head, that head still in the blood mist.
Bang!
The gun fired again.
Another headshot, another instance of double damage.
The blood mist bloomed again, but this time, a sharp cry came from the blooming blood mist.
This is…
The sound of a Little Flying Dragon.
Zhou Zekai was stunned. He saw a summoner's Little Flying Dragon fall out of the cloud of blood mist. It had been hit by a Barrett Sniper and now looked bloody and mangled.
Immediately, several attacks from the NPCs greeted One Autumn Leaf.
Aggro Established!
Zhou Zekai smiled wryly. He had still been tricked by Fang Rui. Behind that guy's Boundless Sea, there was actually a Little Flying Dragon rushing up to attack him. Zhou Zekai believed that this was definitely not a coincidence. This guy had lured the Little Flying Dragon to attract his attack. All the pretenses were illusions. Boundless Sea himself was the real pretense.
Now that aggro had been triggered, there was naturally no need to be cautious.
Wild Shot!
One Autumn Leaf opened both guns, and bullets flew horizontally, instantly sweeping around him. However, a considerable number of bullets still focused on Fang Rui's Boundless Sea.
Luring him to trigger aggro would only make him face the same troubles. This wasn't a winning move. The victory would still depend on what happened next. And after the aggro was triggered, Zhou Zekai immediately went into an explosive rhythm, as if he wanted to take away Boundless Sea in one wave.
Fang Rui, who had calculated everything, was still flying in mid-air with Boundless Sea. He was shot by One Autumn Leaf's wild shot and couldn't land. He rolled in mid-air, revealing his back again.
Extremely close behind him, an elemental mage NPC had been silently standing there for who knew how long, but his staff had been burning hotly, obviously this was an extraordinary great spell. Before One Autumn Leaf could send a bullet to interrupt his spellcasting, his staff had already pointed out, and a group of flying flames flew out, flamboyant, spreading, and instantly becoming a firebird with outstretched wings.
Elemental mage's level 75 ultimate skill, Firebird.
The Boundless Sea disguise wasn't just to conceal a Little Flying Dragon!
