Chapter 407 Squeezed

The narrow space between the two warehouses could hardly be called a passage; it was more accurately described as a crack.

Within the crack, there was only front and back, no left or right.

Behind him, Lu Boyuan's Yunshan Luan had sealed off the rear, while ahead, Du Ming's Wushuang Gouyue (Frost Hook Moon) boldly executed a Head-On Wind-Slicing Slash. Enveloped in the cold light, it seemed Hai Wuya had no room to dodge, and almost everyone thought so.

Everyone except Fang Rui himself.

The sword light was dazzling, but it didn't steal his composure. He had already decided to break through from Wushuang Gouyue's side, and he didn't hesitate.

Sword light filled his vision, but Fang Rui saw a tiny gap where there was no sword light. He didn't know if it would work, but he had no other choice.

Charge!

Hai Wuya continued to charge, and as the sword light fell, he suddenly lunged forward.

Instead of rolling, he went prone, sliding forward on his belly, using the momentum of the leap. Fang Rui lowered Hai Wuya's body to its limit; there was no way to go lower.

Would that be enough to avoid it?

Du Ming was confident in his attack. Even if Fang Rui adopted such an extreme method, he didn't think Hai Wuya could escape. But when the sword light actually came down, Du Ming suddenly realized that it seemed... he couldn't catch up!

There was actually a gap in this Head-On Wind-Slicing Slash. Was his timing not perfect enough?

Spiral Nen Shot!

While still prone, Hai Wuya unleashed an attack. Wushuang Gouyue hadn't even landed properly when the rotating nen energy had already lashed at his legs.

Bang!

Wushuang Gouyue's body immediately tilted to the side, and his head slammed into the wall.

The prone Hai Wuya leaped up at this moment, placing a hand on Wushuang Gouyue's shoulder.

Tear, twist, throw!

Toss!

Wushuang Gouyue was thrown like a cannonball, hurtling towards Yunshan Luan, who was charging forward.

Du Ming was a little dazed. He really couldn't understand why Wushuang Gouyue's Head-On Wind-Slicing Slash had missed. It wasn't until Wushuang Gouyue was thrown and his perspective swept across the ground that Du Ming saw the clear mark where Hai Wuya had gone prone. That spot... there was a dent in the ground.

This was just a narrow gap between two warehouses, and of course there was no smooth pavement. There were many similar bumps and dips on the ground. Fang Rui, in that split second, had spotted a dip in front of him and used it to lower Hai Wuya's body even further.

A hair's breadth decided life and death. That was how Hai Wuya slipped under the Head-On Wind-Slicing Slash.

It was just that!

Du Ming had to admit defeat, because he hadn't noticed it at all. He had never considered that the uneven ground could become a flaw in his Head-On Wind-Slicing Slash.

Wushuang Gouyue crashed straight into Yunshan Luan, which was also part of Fang Rui's plan.

But Yunshan Luan didn't retreat.

He braced his arms and activated Steel Bone!

Bang!

The two characters collided. Yunshan Luan was in a super armor state, unmoved. Wushuang Gouyue fell to the ground, and Yunshan Luan jumped directly over him before he had fully landed.

Lu Boyuan's response seemed ruthless, but professional players knew it wasn't that simple.

Because after Wushuang Gouyue failed to stop Hai Wuya, the situation had reversed.

The gap was too narrow. Even with two members, if they couldn't attack together, it was the same as having only one. Both of their characters were melee fighters and couldn't launch attacks simultaneously in such a narrow space.

But what about Fang Rui's Hai Wuya? Having broken through the enemy's pincer attack and no longer facing danger from both sides, this narrow terrain was extremely advantageous to his qigong master. Because a qigong master's nen attacks covered a large area, and in this narrow gap, where could the opponent dodge?

Lu Boyuan realized this, so there was no time to slow down. Yunshan Luan activated Steel Bone, directly knocking down Wushuang Gouyue and immediately launching a fierce attack.

Fang Rui's Hai Wuya was indeed charging up a skill, but Lu Boyuan's quick response surprised him. Yunshan Luan didn't even pause after being smashed into by Wushuang Gouyue.

He still had time to release the skill, but Yunshan Luan had activated Steel Bone. Nen attacks couldn't push him while in a super armor state. If he took the hit head-on, Yunshan Luan could rush to Hai Wuya's front, and then any grab skill would throw him back into the pincer attack.

Reluctantly, Fang Rui had to give up this attack!

Hai Wuya canceled the skill, activated Cloud Body Wind Stance, and turned to leave.

Yunshan Luan stopped at this moment, raising his hands in a grasping motion.

Cloud Grasping Hand!

The skill that Lu Boyuan had chosen for his judo Yunshan Luan today was really playing a big role. In the team competition, he had caught Su Mucheng off guard, though he hadn't been able to seize the opportunity in the end. And now, in this narrow terrain, it seemed difficult to dodge Cloud Grasping Hand. If Hai Wuya was caught, he would surely die.

Damn!

Fang Rui turned his perspective as Hai Wuya retreated and saw Yunshan Luan gathering energy to cast Cloud Grasping Hand. He panicked.

Although Cloud Grasping Hand was a qigong master's skill, Fang Rui was very familiar with it. Precisely because he was familiar with it, he knew how difficult it was to avoid Cloud Grasping Hand in this terrain. Crouch? Roll? In this straight crack, those movements were impossible. To avoid Cloud Grasping Hand, there needed to be enough space above, but controlling a character's movements in mid-air was extremely difficult, far more difficult than the opponent controlling his character's hands.

But what other choice did he have?

Hai Wuya stopped and turned around.

Dodging this Cloud Grasping Hand required extremely precise calculations and operations. Fang Rui couldn't get it just right while sprinting and turning his head.

The fallen Wushuang Gouyue behind Yunshan Luan had now risen and leaped into the air.

Fang Rui couldn't bother with what he was trying to do, his gaze locked on Yunshan Luan's hands.

Because he was a judo, the equipment he wore didn't have the attributes that qigong masters sought. His Cloud Grasping Hand took slightly longer to charge. However, Fang Rui wasn't judging the attack by calculating the time. He was desperately observing Yunshan Luan's hand movements.

Here it comes!

Yunshan Luan's fingers tightened, his hands clearly retracting. Fang Rui quickly controlled Hai Wuya to jump into the air. But Lu Boyuan had anticipated Fang Rui's response. Yunshan Luan's hands also tilted slightly upward under his control.

Cloud Grasping Hand could be adjusted from casting to hitting. That was why it was so difficult to avoid in this environment.

At this moment, Hai Wuya slapped out with a palm. Pushing Cloud Palm!

Slap!

The palm struck the wall. Hai Wuya, who had barely jumped up, stopped immediately and fell downward, shrinking, huddling, crawling, making zero contact with the ground...

Fang Rui executed these undignified movements with ease, without the slightest hesitation.

Jumping was just a feint to lure Lu Boyuan's operation upward. Fang Rui's real goal was to avoid it downward.

Lu Boyuan quickly operated, Yunshan Luan pressed his hands down again, but it was too late. The nen energy pulled out only disturbed Hai Wuya's hairstyle. Other than that, there was no pulling force to draw Hai Wuya back.

"Hahahaha!"

Fang Rui was now smug. This dodge was full of calculation and skill, and he thought it was extremely clever.

"Don't underestimate the value of side dishes!" he said proudly. Everyone was confused, not knowing where this nonsensical sentence came from.

Du Ming's Wushuang Gouyue had now jumped onto the roof of a lower warehouse next to them. Although lower, this height couldn't be reached by ordinary jumping. Du Ming's Wushuang Gouyue jumped, used Wall-Kick Leap, followed by Rising Dragon Slash, and finally reached the right height to jump onto the roof.

Charging Stab!

Triple Slash!

Once on the roof, Wushuang Gouyue didn't hesitate, using a series of fast-moving skills. Fang Rui had been slightly delayed by dodging Cloud Grasping Hand, and Cloud Body Wind Stance didn't increase his speed as violently as the opponent's skill movement. After using two skills, Wushuang Gouyue had cut to the front of Hai Wuya. He took a step forward, twisting in the air, falling, and the sword falling. This time, he had carefully observed the terrain details and wouldn't let Fang Rui take advantage of a slight bump.

Falling Phoenix Slash!

The sword light plummeted. This time, Fang Rui couldn't find a gap to dodge. Helpless, he had to have Hai Wuya gather a Qi Shield to withstand it. Yunshan Luan was approaching from behind, and Wushuang Gouyue's sword was blocking the front. After many twists and turns, Fang Rui still couldn't escape the pincer attack set up by Samsara.

But then, with a loud bang, Wushuang Gouyue, who was swinging his sword down in the air, suddenly turned into a spread-out firework, wrapped in flames. The brilliant sword light instantly lost its sharp edge.

"Damn, Sister Mu, you're so awesome! I'm gonna fall in love with you!!"

Fang Rui was incoherent with excitement. At this critical moment, Mu Yu Chengfeng's attack was so timely and on point that Fang Rui felt like tears were about to fly out.

"Charge!" Su Mucheng didn't have time to joke with him, giving a one-word reminder.

Fang Rui composed himself from this rollercoaster of emotions, and Hai Wuya charged like crazy. Wushuang Gouyue was blasted in the air, Falling Phoenix Slash was interrupted, and his balance was broken. Even so, Du Ming still managed to force Wushuang Gouyue to slash out a sword, but it was too weak. Hai Wuya dodged it, crouching low in a vulgar posture.

Not good!

Lu Boyuan, who was chasing from behind, had to re-examine the situation. Originally, it was two against one, and with such advantageous terrain, they thought they could quickly deal with Fang Rui's Hai Wuya. Who knew that this guy was so cunning, always finding a way out in such desperate situations. Now things were bad, their support had arrived. A qigong master and a gunner, both of whose attacks were almost impossible to dodge in this narrow gap. How could they fight?

The two members of Samsara were finally in a dilemma.

The result of overestimating myself is that I welcomed the sunrise...
