Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1721 Happy's Intentions
Under rapid-fire, he executed Scattering Shots, yet his aim remained precise.
Bullets...
Qiao Yifan barely saw One Autumn Leaf aim at him. In a fleeting moment, a bullet flew with incredible accuracy towards his One Inch Ash.
Just a bit short!
Qiao Yifan was unwilling but helpless. The chanting speed of ghost arrays wouldn’t increase due to a player’s will or actions.
Dodge.
He could only dodge. Not dodging would only result in interruption.
But as soon as he dodged that bullet, another came flying towards his vision.
Zhou Zekai wasn’t targeting Qiao Yifan alone. Qiao Yifan didn’t see the muzzle lingering on him, but bullets shot out continuously, not just at him, but also at An Wenyi’s Little Cold Hands, Su Mucheng’s Dancing Rain, Tang Rou’s Soft Mist, Ye Xiu’s Lord Grim…
The audience screamed!
This was what they had been waiting for, what captivated them most about Zhou Zekai: using pinnacle-level, dazzling techniques to sweep away everything in the arena.
Rapid-fire plus Scattering Shots; controlling the attack was impossible for most people, but Zhou Zekai could make almost every bullet follow his will, flying where he directed.
One Inch Ash's ghost array failed.
Sun Xiang and Wu Qi suddenly received strong cover. Their characters finally broke free of the dark boundary and regained their vision. They immediately targeted Dancing Rain and Little Cold Hands, launching a preemptive strike.
The situation was changing, but one thing remained constant.
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim, despite being riddled with bullet holes from One Autumn Leaf's rapid-fire and Scattering Shots, didn't stop his Colliding Stab!
Zhou Zekai realized something was wrong. He controlled One Autumn Leaf to shoot in all directions, seeing every member of Happy clearly.
Su Mucheng and An Wenyi seemed to be maneuvering their characters; Tang Rou's Soft Mist seemed to be braving the hail of bullets to get close to One Autumn Leaf. Behind One Autumn Leaf, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash was constantly dodging the gunfire, unable to complete a full chant. But the direction those four characters were moving…
Lord Grim!
They were coordinating with Lord Grim’s rhythm.
In other words, Jiang Botao's Wave Emission was the real target of Happy's main attack.
Too far!
Recognizing this, Zhou Zekai made a decision and immediately realized there was a slight problem with the distance between Wave Emission and the overall formation of Samsara. It might be subtle, but unlike One Autumn Leaf and Cruel Silence's assault, this wasn't a planned shift in position; it was forced by Lord Grim's Colliding Stab.
Focus fire!
Before the rapid-fire and Scattering Shots ended, Zhou Zekai suddenly focused all of One Autumn Leaf's firepower on Lord Grim.
The bullets themselves only had a tiny bit of hit stun, not enough to interrupt non-chanting skills. However, when that tiny bit of hit stun occurred continuously under such dense fire, it wouldn't seem so insignificant.
Splashes of blood bloomed continuously, glaringly red. Lord Grim's movements had clearly slowed. Wave Emission had clearly created distance from the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's sword form that was pressed against his chest. The dense firepower was truly cutting off the Colliding Stab and even draining a good amount of Lord Grim's health.
This sudden, targeted burst ignited a new climax in the arena. The glaring crimson was incredibly exhilarating in the eyes of Samsara's fans.
But only for an instant!
The brilliant spray of blood abruptly stopped. Lord Grim had actually dodged it.
The audience, the pro players, their eyes nearly popped out.
With such dense firepower, what kind of control and speed could execute such a horizontal dodge? The player's control was astonishing, and the character's inherent movement speed made it seem unbelievable.
Ye Xiu didn't stop to let everyone think. With a single shift, Lord Grim unleashed another skill.
Palm Blossom Fist!
With a palm strike, Wave Emission, who was right in front of him, was hit squarely and sent flying backward.
Wave Emission had finally escaped the dark boundary. Jiang Botao had finally regained his vision, but he was watching his Wave Emission fly away from the Samsara team. Before he could fully analyze the situation, Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella crashed into Wave Emission again.
Charge!
Palm Blossom Fist wasn't enough. Lord Grim launched another Charge, dodging One Autumn Leaf's pursuing shots while giving Wave Emission another push.
Happy's intentions were now very clear. The purpose of Lord Grim's continuous skills on Wave Emission, creating movement, was to take Wave Emission away and sever his connection with the rest of Samsara.
The average audience still didn't know this. They saw Sun Xiang and Wu Qi pressuring Su Mucheng and An Wenyi. They saw Zhou Zekai's berserk rapid-fire and Scattering Shots. They saw Fang Minghua's Laughing Song about to step out of the dark boundary. In their eyes, Jiang Botao's Wave Emission being continuously attacked was just a slight flaw in the situation. And Happy was paying a price for it. Lord Grim lost a lot of health from One Autumn Leaf's burst of shots, though he quickly and unbelievably dodged them.
How was the dodge executed? The arena's big screen showed a slow-motion replay. Everyone realized that in that one step, Lord Grim had also used a skill. He used Arc Flash's movement speed to escape from the dense barrage. But that made Ye Xiu's instantaneous actions even more terrifying. In such a tiny, almost nonexistent gap, he was actually able to execute a skill?
Everyone gasped. The average audience also knew how terrifying this was.
Such terrifying control, desperately trying to attack Wave Emission; was it really just a minor flaw in the situation?
Many viewers, from Ye Xiu's choice and attitude, also realized that the attack on Wave Emission probably wasn't that simple. Everyone's attention began to focus on that side.
Wave Emission, Lord Grim, and flying bullets.
Zhou Zekai had completely focused his attention on this end. Besides him, no one in Samsara could immediately step forward to stop Happy's intentions. Sun Xiang and Wu Qi had already used their fast-moving skills to escape the dark boundary. After that, they pressured Su Mucheng and An Wenyi, chasing after them. From Wave Emission's position, it was clear that the two of them had been led astray.
Fang Minghua's Laughing Song, the character they thought would be Happy's main target, was hardly troubled. Finally, Laughing Song took his last step and light reappeared before him.
But the first thing that appeared before his eyes was the power of the ghost spirits on One Inch Ash's sword, unleashed once more.
