Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1763 God-Tier Finishing Blow
Upon realizing the intentions of Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, the pro players immediately grasped even more implications.
Su Mucheng repeatedly postured to attack Jiang Botao's Wulang, all to lure him forward. Against a Launcher, closing the distance is actually safer. Any pro player with close-combat abilities would have made that choice in that situation.
And what about Ye Xiu?
From the start, Lord Grim searched for openings and weaved around, all to guide Zhou Zekai. Zhou Zekai knew which positions allowed a view around cover, so Ye Xiu also knew which cover he could use to maneuver Zhou Zekai's One Autumn Leaf into the position he needed.
Then, charge, assault, close in.
To give Lord Grim more pressure, Zhou Zekai would naturally have One Autumn Leaf retreat to maintain the distance between them.
No one could say the Samsara players' response was wrong. Any player facing the same situation would have responded the same way. No one expected these two were planning such an attack.
The mushroom cloud rising caused a stir throughout the stadium.
No one saw the signal flare that guided Dancing Rain's attack. By the time everyone noticed, the heat-seeking missile was already howling down from the sky.
Dodge?
That was truly just a subconscious, instinctive reaction to the attack. To completely avoid a heat-seeking missile, the signal flare's guidance was key. Once the flare locked on, the speed at which the heat-seeking missile fell far surpassed that of any character.
Dodging was just doing what one could, at most avoiding the core of the explosion to slightly reduce the damage.
At this moment, the three Samsara players were even more focused on executing their attack.
The restriction Dancing Rain's positioning placed on them would definitely be broken after this attack, and they would suffer heavy damage in this attack. At this moment, they should do everything possible to kill Dancing Rain.
The previously established control over Dancing Rain's position still played a role. The attacks the three made in this situation still left Dancing Rain with no room to dodge.
The audience couldn't see clearly what was happening inside the mushroom cloud, only the figures moving and the flashing lights of skills. At this moment, the three Samsara players didn't care about controlling the field, unleashing powerful attack skills. Then, they saw the health of all four characters plummeting rapidly.
Whose health would plummet to zero, and whose would stop dropping?
Everyone's heart was in their throats, watching the four health bars. At this moment, both the television broadcast and the big screen showed close-ups of the four characters' health bars.
Cleared!
One of the four health bars was emptied at the fastest speed.
Jiang Botao's Wulang?
Everyone's subconscious answer was that it had to be him, since his health was the lowest, at eleven percent, and he shouldn't be able to withstand the hit from the heat-seeking missile.
But, no!
The name on the health bar was Dancing Rain. Samsara's full-force attack in the explosion of the heat-seeking missile had actually killed Dancing Rain more quickly.
One Autumn Leaf and One Autumn Leaf's health were still declining. Their health had been at about thirty percent to begin with, so the heat-seeking missile wouldn't kill them instantly. What about Jiang Botao's Wulang?
Wulang's health decline stopped first, at 0.7 percent, just 0.7 percent left!
Wulang was still alive. Did that mean the situation would be Ye Xiu against three?
Lost.
Countless people thought this. Although Ye Xiu had faced a one-on-three situation in the previous team competition, in reality, he had only managed to protect himself. It was only because the three Samsara players believed "a three-on-one definitely wouldn't be a problem, definitely could be resolved quickly" that they were held back. He hadn't truly controlled the three of them, let alone defeated them.
Now, he truly needed to defeat three people. How was that possible? Everyone thought this, and felt some regret that after all of Happy's efforts, they were still facing such a helpless ending.
For Samsara, this was truly fortunate.
Such an unexpected wave of attacks ultimately gave them the advantage.
The best partners had been broken up. Happy only had Ye Xiu left on the field, while Samsara still had their strongest trio.
Won, right!
At this moment, could they have a thought like this?
Jiang Botao, whose character's health was only at 0.7 percent, felt the most fortunate. He could be considered to have walked back from the gates of hell. Wulang was still alive thanks to his adjustments when Lord Grim closed in. He had the awareness to protect himself at that time, and he wasn't afraid when he was close to Dancing Rain. But when Lord Grim came up, he naturally had to retreat appropriately to create some distance. In addition, the heat-seeking missile that Su Mucheng launched naturally wouldn't target Wulang, who had the least health, so in the end, Wulang was the closest of the three Samsara characters to the edge of the explosion. Combined with his plate armor defense and the instinctive dodge when the missile fell, Wulang suffered the least damage.
It was good to be alive. Only by living could you perfectly enjoy victory!
This was Jiang Botao's true thought at this moment, but it was just a thought, and before any emotion could even form, Wulang's health suddenly jumped again.
Cleared!
Wulang died.
Jiang Botao was dumbfounded. He could completely confirm that the damage from the heat-seeking missile's explosion had stopped. This was a skill that generated explosive force in an instant, not a sustained damage skill.
What was this?
His perspective rose, and in the gray-white scene, Jiang Botao saw a shuriken sticking in Wulang's chest as he fell.
Finishing blow...
He wasn't killed by the heat-seeking missile, but by Ye Xiu's finishing blow afterwards.
The attack came so quickly, with less than a second between it and the heat-seeking missile's attack. Even if Jiang Botao had realized it, he wouldn't have been able to dodge such a quick and accurate finishing blow.
It wasn't victory yet.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
It wasn't over yet.
The heat-seeking missile was just the beginning. Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng had anticipated that in such a surrounded situation, even if Dancing Rain launched that attack, she wouldn't be able to escape and would definitely be killed by Samsara's all-out attack.
But Ye Xiu had prepared a finishing blow.
0.7 percent, Wulang was only 0.7 percent away from death, such a tiny amount that even Jiang Botao didn't dare to be certain Wulang could survive at that moment. But Ye Xiu had accurately judged it, and the shuriken's finishing blow was so precise and flawless.
Be careful!
It wasn't over yet!
Next was Ye Xiu's time to deliver the finishing blows!
Jiang Botao desperately wanted to convey this information to the other two teammates on the field, because he knew that the heat-seeking missile still had a considerable attack effect. At that moment, the three of them were desperately attacking Dancing Rain. Apart from instinctively avoiding the blast, they had no energy to perform other actions. They were definitely being impacted by the explosion's shockwave at this moment. Ye Xiu was going to use this time to instantly eliminate the three of them.
A one-on-three was an impossible task, but in this special situation, Jiang Botao felt an immense crisis. He sensed the complete trust and confidence between Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng. Ye Xiu believed that Su Mucheng would definitely be able to fire a map-wide attack, and Su Mucheng firmly believed that Ye Xiu would be able to complete the finishing blows alone after Dancing Rain fell.
Glory wasn't a game for one person, and this was the view that Ye Xiu had always insisted on. Even now, when he was the only one left on the field, he was still carrying out this belief. He was finishing off the final situation that everyone had worked so hard to pave the way for, drawing a period to everyone's efforts.
"Be careful!!" Jiang Botao only hated that his voice couldn't be heard. Before the light and smoke from the explosion had completely faded, Jiang Botao, whose perspective had risen into the air, suddenly saw a figure as fast as lightning overlapping with another figure.
Even under the cover of the light and smoke, Jiang Botao could recognize that figure. It was One Autumn Leaf, who he was extremely familiar with.
Powerful Knee Strike!
Air Lock!
Two consecutive skills, both from the Striker class.
When the Powerful Knee Strike approached, Zhou Zekai noticed it. He quickly adjusted the shape of One Autumn Leaf's body, which had been lifted into the air by the explosive force, to begin shooting at the rushing Lord Grim. But when the gunshots rang out, Lord Grim's legs were already wrapped around his neck.
Spin!
Lord Grim twisted in the air, and all the bullets that One Autumn Leaf fired hit the ground. Before this skill landed, Ye Xiu had already canceled it. While he was still spinning, he swung his sword, Collapsing Mountain.
Without anything to borrow strength from in the air, Collapsing Mountain naturally didn't have any jumping effect. It was just a downward strike, hitting One Autumn Leaf squarely.
The two figures continued to fall rapidly. Then, Lord Grim's skill changed again, and the swinging sword suddenly flipped up, Uppercut!
One Autumn Leaf was doing a roller coaster ride, constantly going up and down. Lord Grim's rapidly changing moves and constantly shifting attack direction meant that his figure couldn't maintain a consistent movement trajectory, not even for a moment. Even Zhou Zekai couldn't adjust to this rhythm.
How fast was this?
In the eyes of ordinary players, this was unimaginable. This was completely breaking the game's settings. In their opinion, there was no way to fully execute a skill in that amount of time, right?
But pro players knew that the reason why he could use skills so quickly was because Ye Xiu was constantly canceling them. Every skill hit his opponent using the shortest and most direct route, and then he immediately forced it to cancel before the skill got old, followed by the next skill, repeating this cycle. This meant that the damage of the skills might not be complete or thorough, but the changes were extremely fast. And these extreme changes made it impossible for Zhou Zekai to cope.
In theory, that was the case, but how accurate did the judgment have to be, and how fast did the hand speed have to be?
Using a skill, forcefully canceling it. During this, Lord Grim had to add an additional weapon form change.
How high was this hand speed?
The pro players were dumbfounded. They had experienced the unspecialized close combat, but they had never seen it so fast and so dense. God level was almost an insult. This was ultra-god level!
Falling Flower Palm, Anti-Tank Missile, Gatling Gun.
In the blink of an eye, there were four more skills. The same density, the same speed. Almost no pro player noticed the moment he used Falling Flower Palm. Then, One Autumn Leaf was enveloped in the firelight of the Anti-Tank Missile's explosion. At this time, the Gatling Gun's high-speed bullets had already pierced his flesh, sending One Autumn Leaf flying along with the knockback effect of the Falling Flower Palm.
Cleared!
One Autumn Leaf's life cleared!
Without giving Zhou Zekai any chance to adjust, the ultra-dense skill attacks meant that One Autumn Leaf's figure was unable to adjust because it was constantly rotating, shaking, and changing direction at an ultra-high frequency.
He's dead!
One Autumn Leaf died.
Three and a half seconds ago, Ye Xiu was one against three.
Three seconds ago, Ye Xiu was one against two.
At this moment, it was one-on-one.
Jiang Botao, Zhou Zekai.
Leading Samsara to two league championships, Ye Xiu only used three and a half seconds to kill the Samsara captain and vice-captain. Even if both characters were low on health, even if both had been greatly affected by the heat-seeking missile, a three-and-a-half-second kill time was still enough to be called a miracle.
No words could describe it. The stadium was filled with chaotic screams of shock. Because the changes were so fast, everyone captured different things in every moment. When one person was still screaming in shock at what they saw, another person captured something different from their visual rhythm.
But no matter what, Wulang and One Autumn Leaf had truly fallen, falling without any ability to fight back. And then, One Autumn Leaf, the character that Ye Xiu had created with his own hands, would be the final target he had to kill.
