Hu Die Lan

Chapter 1741 Basic Routine Variations

Heavily armed with the knowledge of the first option, he decided it was too risky to leave such an important decision to chance. So instead, he decided that a great and memorable choice, not one he had to feel sorry for, was to simply just leave it all up to whatever was on TV. As the television began to whir to life, he began to panic a bit. After all, it had been so long since he had watched TV that he had forgotten about all the various options. The possibilities began to weigh on him, but he realized it was too late. What choice he had was out of his control.

"Jiang Botao's Wulang suddenly erupted, launching a continuous attack on Mu Yu Chengfeng! Du Ming seized this opportunity, and Canren Jingmo is rapidly closing in on Mu Yu Chengfeng... Ah... Ye Xiu's Jun Mo Xiao is moving towards this side, but it seems he won't be able to stop it. Baozi Invasion is launching a sneak attack... uh, is it a sneak attack? But he dodged it!"

Commentator Pan Lin passionately described the intricate battle about to unfold. As for the other area of the arena, it wasn't that the broadcast was ignoring it, but compared to this side, the scenes brought by those two were not as intense or exciting.

Sun Xiang's Yi Ye Zhi Qiu switched fire to support Zhou Zekai, but before that, he and Wu Qi had joined forces to establish the direction of that end. Just like at the beginning when the two of them surrounded and pressed Su Mucheng's Mu Yu Chengfeng, this time the two used almost the same method to deal with Qiao Yifan's Yi Cun Hui.

However, because Zhou Zekai's side was a bit tight, the two of them failed to fully implement their intentions this time. Sun Xiang moved Yi Ye Zhi Qiu to switch fire one step ahead, completely handing Qiao Yifan over to Wu Qi alone. At this time, Wu Qi's Canren Jingmo had not truly completed the close-quarters battle, but at least it had tightly bitten onto Yi Cun Hui.

Yi Cun Hui's ability as a formation ghost was basically impossible to use at this time. Canren Jingmo was biting too close, and Yi Cun Hui had no way to stop and chant a ghost array. Qiao Yifan could only let him run, constantly run. He wanted to pull away, dark array, ice array... these ghost arrays had already cooled down, but he had no room to cast spells.

But Qiao Yifan didn't panic, he carefully observed everything in front of him. He knew that simply racing with Canren Jingmo would definitely not get rid of him, he had to use the terrain.

Fortunately, the formation ghost also has some close-quarters combat ability. Qiao Yifan operated Yi Cun Hui to fight and walk, while carefully observing the front, back, left, and right, carefully recording everything that the perspective could see. Gradually, a plan took shape in his mind.

That's it!

Qiao Yifan made up his mind, although he didn't have absolute certainty, he could only try it. Close-quarters combat is not a strength of a formation ghost after all. He fought and walked like this, and Wu Qi's Canren Jingmo had already hurt a lot of his blood.

Moonlight Slash!

Yi Cun Hui suddenly shot. It seemed abrupt, but as a formation ghost, his slashing skills were just a few skills back and forth. Fortunately, they were all low-level, with short cooldowns, otherwise he would have been out of moves long ago. Moonlight Slash, this was already the unknown number of times Yi Cun Hui had used it, making it so abrupt that Wu Qi didn't even have a bit of freshness to it. He already had a quick response without thinking.

Sideways, dislocation!

Canren Jingmo's steps were relatively large, because Moonlight Slash would be followed by Full Moon Slash, which is a very basic combo routine. And the Full Moon Slash, according to the operator's control, usually has a deflection following the direction of the opponent's character's dodge, so dodging the Moonlight Slash requires considering the subsequent Full Moon Slash together, and the dodging range should be larger. At this time, trying to use techniques such as cross-stepping would definitely suffer.

No, Wu Qi saw through Qiao Yifan's method, but he also had no way to crack it. This is the value of basic routines. Being called basic means they have been tempered over and over again and have a high usage rate. These techniques have been sufficiently tested. Regardless of the damage, they first put themselves in an invincible position. When encountering this kind of technique, there is no way to play any tricks. The coping method is also the most effective one that has been retained after so much testing. For assassins, that is the big step that Canren Jingmo is taking right now.

But this time, the blade light dissipated immediately after slashing out this Moonlight Slash.

No Full Moon Slash!

But it was still not an accident.

This is a basic routine, and all the changes in it have naturally been thoroughly understood. Moonlight Slash and Full Moon Slash are often used in combos, but it doesn't mean they have to be used in combos. However, because of this "often", Moonlight Slash has to be dodged as two skills. There is no discussion about this. Even if the opponent doesn't intend to use this combo, if you really just treat it as a Moonlight Slash, then it is extremely easy for the opponent to adjust temporarily and add a Full Moon Slash.

So, there's no way.

Knowing that there might be this kind of change, you can only wait for the change to appear before disassembling the move.

Qiao Yifan had Yi Cun Hui use Moonlight Slash three times before, and each time he would follow up with Full Moon Slash. It was fast, stable, and solid basic skills, making Wu Qi dare not be careless in the slightest. His performance was also very stable. So this time, the fourth time, Canren Jingmo took a big step, still dodging the Moonlight Slash as two skills, but this time, only Moonlight was seen, no Full Moon.

What kind of changes will this bring about?

This is hard to say. There are many choices that can be made after this, but one thing is worth noting. Why is Moonlight Slash followed by Full Moon Slash used so frequently? It is because these two skills are used together without any flaws, making them the safest and most secure. But when Moonlight Slash is used alone, this attack appears a bit thin. If Full Moon Slash is not used and the opponent reacts quickly and launches a quick attack, then it will be very uncomfortable for the swordsman.

Wu Qi reacted very quickly. As soon as the knife stopped, he knew that Qiao Yifan was going to make a change this time. Although he had learned the routine three times before, Wu Qi's thinking was not solidified.

Arc Flash!

As if prepared in advance, Canren Jingmo rushed up.

With an extremely fast reaction, there was no need to worry whether Qiao Yifan deliberately allowed Yi Cun Hui to hit a time difference. With such a fast reaction, even if Qiao Yifan really deliberately left a time difference in the continuous slash, that time difference would probably become a loophole.

Ding!

The sound of collision rang out crisply.

Yi Cun Hui held the Tachi Snow Pattern in his hand in front of him, blocking the arc of light from Canren Jingmo's blade.

Block!

Qiao Yifan had Yi Cun Hui perform a block, blocking the extremely fast Arc Flash, obviously this move was also prepared in advance.

Not good!

Wu Qi's heart suddenly floated up with such a thought. He was prepared for the basic routine of Moonlight Slash followed by Full Moon Slash; he responded quickly to the change of Moonlight Slash not followed by Full Moon Slash. But the other side had also prepared for his rapid attack with a rapid response. This was too obvious. Qiao Yifan's idea was to reach this step, he had accurately predicted that Wu Qi would launch a rapid attack in this change.

Block.

Weapons clashed, making only one sound. The characters on both sides were extremely close and fast at this moment. Wu Qi saw the intersecting weapons of the two characters on the screen, and saw the somewhat gloomy face of his opponent's character, Yi Cun Hui.

But soon, that face pulled away from him. The block stopped his attack, and Canren Jingmo's figure stopped immediately. He, Yi Cun Hui, used this block to slide backwards rapidly.

These were all judgments forcibly given by the system, and Wu Qi had no way to interfere, but this moment was very short after all, and he had already quickly begun subsequent remedies.

As Shadow Follows!

Increase speed, forcibly follow the target.

After recovering his state, Canren Jingmo immediately used this skill to slide up, with a string of afterimages behind him, but directly in front of him, two sword lights crossed out, as if solidified there, waiting for Canren Jingmo to crash into them.

Cross Slash!

As Shadow Follows cannot penetrate attacks. Changing direction to bypass is possible, but the Cross Slash is too close and too fast right now, and changing direction is already too late.

Only cancel the skill!

In the end, Canren Jingmo abruptly stopped, halting himself in front of the Cross Slash. Changing direction again, starting again, chasing again, this was slower by who knows how much. As a result, Qiao Yifan still felt it wasn't enough. While Yi Cun Hui seized the time to slip away, he also swept a Ground Fissure Wave Sword over.

This scene was not shown on TV. But there were holographic projections on the scene, and countless electronic screens hanging in the sky were presenting multiple perspectives, so the audience could watch without any delay. Among the Samsara audience, there were always some who were fans of Wu Qi. At this time, seeing Qiao Yifan use continuous methods to just trap Canren Jingmo in place, even they felt stifled.

In just a short while, Yi Cun Hui had already slipped behind an unknown building that was high on one side and low on the other, with half of it submerged in the ground.

Now Wu Qi dared not let Canren Jingmo chase directly. Yi Cun Hui had left his sight, and his next actions were all a matter of position. Distance was no longer the only criterion for weighing the pros and cons.

Jump up?

Go around in front?

Two choices were placed in front of Wu Qi.
