戴妍琦 switched her fire to Lord Grim. Fang Xuecai’s thinking was that as a ranged class, switching fire was quick and convenient, requiring no close combat, thus saving time and facilitating attention to both sides.

This idea wasn’t wrong in itself, and it was currently the most balanced approach. However, running between two targets would ultimately be weaker than focusing on one. The difference was quickly captured by the few members of Happy.

Who were the Happy players on stage for the team competition today?

Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, Fang Rui, Wei Chen, An Wenyi.

Apart from An Wenyi, all were experienced veterans. As soon as Thunder’s balance decreased, those three rushed towards the fleeting opening like they were competing with each other.

The Thunder players immediately felt a chill in their hearts. This instant feeling was as if they had originally scooped up a full net of fish, but a small hole suddenly appeared in the net, and all the fish frantically rushed towards the hole. In just an instant, the hole had been stretched even wider, giving them no time to mend it.

“Press them! Press them!” Fang Xuecai roared.

But the Thunder players were powerless. The flaw had been revealed and couldn’t be suppressed. Everyone’s gaze turned involuntarily to their captain. If Xiao Shiqin’s commands hadn’t been interrupted, it wouldn’t have been like this.

Xiao Shiqin’s heart was also bitter. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to command. Even if there was a one in a thousand chance, he would have given his teammates instructions. But there weren’t. He could only watch helplessly as their perfect offensive formation gradually collapsed due to the lack of accurate coordination and adjustment. There were too many crucial moments when Xiao Shiqin wanted to speak up and remind them, but he couldn’t, because he realized that whenever such a moment appeared, Ye Xiu’s attacks would suddenly become more urgent.

Ye Xiu... wasn’t just watching his opponent in front of him. He was also watching the overall situation and adjusting his personal offensive according to the situation there. If Xiao Shiqin really typed to command at this time, he would be met with a comprehensive attack. Under the whirlwind-like rapid attacks of the unspecialized, he might be taken away without any chance to fight back.

Alive, there was at least hope; dead, and no commands could be given.

At this moment, Xiao Shiqin also hated the League’s ban on voice chat. He fully felt the helplessness and bitterness in Yu Wenzhou’s heart.

Fang Xuecai instructed Dai Yanqi to support. Xiao Shiqin knew that this decision wasn’t good and might be disastrous, but there was no other way. Continuing to fight like this would also be disastrous. A change might create something. For example, Dai Yanqi might suddenly have a burst of inspiration and be able to handle two tasks at once and still take care of everything?

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Dai Yanqi had just switched fire, and before it could be seen whether she would have a burst of inspiration, Happy had already eagerly broken free from Thunder’s offensive. The players Happy had sent out were all too experienced and wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity.

Was it over?

No!

Not yet.

The offensive was broken by Happy, but Dai Yanqi didn’t hesitate or waver. Instead, she came to support Xiao Shiqin even more resolutely.

Well done!

Xiao Shiqin was pleased that Dai Yanqi had made such a decision. The most taboo thing in tactical choices was being indecisive. Thunder, which relied on tactics, indeed had no one who was hesitant.

Thunderbolt Pierce!

A bolt of lightning flashed, and the attack landed in front of Lord Grim. This predicted attack clearly held the intention of hindering you even if it didn’t hit you. As long as you were blocked for this step, Xiao Shiqin could at least free himself from the passive situation, and counterattack or give instructions.

However, Lord Grim stubbornly took a step forward.

Enduring the damage? The stiffness caused by lightning damage wasn’t weak. Enduring it would still reveal an opening. As a result, Lord Grim took a step forward, and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella swung to his side. When Thunderbolt Pierce stabbed over, the umbrella surface happened to open with a whoosh.

With a buzzing sound, the electric light struck the umbrella surface. Before it could spread out, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had already been withdrawn. Or rather, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had never stopped. This was fundamentally another attack launched towards Clamor. It was just that when it swung past his side, the umbrella surface opened, blocking the Thunderbolt Pierce along the way, without interrupting the offensive against Clamor at all.

Such precise operation shocked Dai Yanqi for a moment, and she couldn’t even operate the prepared follow-up moves. Ye Xiu’s response didn’t conform to any of her conscious awareness.

Until she saw her captain’s Clamor continue to roll on the ground to dodge, Dai Yanqi came back to her senses and quickly manipulated her spells to attack again. But Ye Xiu wasn’t fighting alone. Happy had already responded to him. Before Luanluo Yin Chen’s spell could be cast, the cannon fire started first. Su Mucheng, controlling Dancing Rain, had already begun to assist here, interrupting Luanluo Yin Chen’s chant, and the next shot assisted Ye Xiu, blasting towards Clamor.

Fang Xuecai’s assassin, Deceitful Rip, rushed forward, trying to entangle Dancing Rain, but Su Mucheng had already seen him. Dancing Rain used aerial gunshots to move around. No matter how fast the assassin was, it was impossible to catch up in a short time. And now, where was the time for him to leisurely chase after her? He wasn’t like Dancing Rain, who was a gunner and could attack and assist the whole field while moving around. He was an assassin who had to get close to attack. Being led around by Dancing Rain like this was the same as being air.

Helpless, Fang Xuecai treated it as an interference with Su Mucheng. His vision roamed the field, eventually locking onto Little Cold Hands.

There was an opening!

Fang Xuecai keenly realized that Happy was probably suppressed and suffocated. Now that they had broken free of the suppression, they were particularly unrestrained and wild, and had actually neglected the protection of their healer. If he could take away Happy’s healer in one wave...

Taking him away in one wave was of course possible, because Fang Xuecai’s Deceitful Rip was an assassin, and he also had Sacrifice. Even if he wasn’t as enthusiastic about using it as Void’s Li Xun, no assassin would completely abandon Sacrifice. The existence of Sacrifice was a deterrent in itself, and in some specific times, it could be used for a desperate gamble.

Now... was that moment...

Fang Xuecai continued to control Deceitful Rip to feign pursuit of Dancing Rain. Suddenly, he made a diagonal movement, seemingly predicting Dancing Rain’s movement to get in front of her. But halfway through the movement, the figure suddenly flashed, and he used a ninja’s Shadow Clone Technique. The real body had floated towards Little Cold Hands, followed by an Arc Flash, suddenly arriving beside Little Cold Hands.

Sacrifice!

Fang Xuecai directly used this ultimate move. Little Cold Hands’ life wasn’t full. Before this, he had been pressured by Thunder’s ever-changing offensive. The result of the pressure was that Happy’s characters’ health couldn’t be maintained very safely. Every character, including Little Cold Hands himself, had consumed a lot of health under An Wenyi’s frantic healing.

Enough!

Fang Xuecai calculated very clearly, and he was very confident in this attack. They had studied An Wenyi’s characteristics quite clearly. His reaction and hand speed weren’t too outstanding. His sudden sneak attack was so sudden that he couldn’t possibly cope with it.

Go to hell!

Fang Xuecai shouted in his heart. Even if he sacrificed himself afterwards, it wouldn’t matter. His character, exchanging for Happy’s healer, was a bargain no matter what.

But just as the dagger was about to stab, Fang Xuecai suddenly discovered that Little Cold Hands’ priest robe suddenly swayed and rolled towards him. A current of air passed from the side of Little Cold Hands and cut into Deceitful Rip’s waist.

Qi Blade!

This was the last trace of thought Fang Xuecai left on the field. Deceitful Rip, who had used Sacrifice, couldn’t withstand any attacks at all. A Qi Blade was enough to take his life.

He actually used the priest’s body as cover, and so perfectly. His intentions had been seen through long ago! But he dared to hold on to the last moment. If this Qi Blade had come even a fraction of a second later, his knife would have already pierced into Little Cold Hands’ chest! What good would it do to be taken away by the Qi Blade then?

This person... is so bold, so despicable!

Deceitful Rip fell down with Fang Xuecai’s unwillingness. The successful Fang Rui was shouting in the public channel, “My golden right hand is just accurate!”

“This little trick, who do you think you’re hiding it from? Is this even a tactic?” Wei Chen was also mocking.

No one had expected that in just the blink of an eye, Thunder had lost one person. Four against five, the situation changed immediately. Thunder could no longer limit Happy. Happy immediately found the focus of attack. Everyone focused their fire on Clamor, and in a strong killing posture, sent Xiao Shiqin out of the match before Thunder’s sixth player could come to support. Xiao Shiqin’s significance to Thunder wasn’t just as a participating player. Without him, Thunder’s momentum was lost, and the team competition finally lost to Happy.

9 to 1, another hearty victory. Everyone was stunned by such a reversal. Pan Lin and Li Yibo exchanged a look of lingering fear. Especially Li Yibo, he had almost determined that Thunder would win, just short of saying it out loud. But it was this not saying it out loud that finally saved his face. As for Pan Lin, he had a feeling of relief. His caution had finally paid off, and Happy had finally created another stir.

“The match was wonderful...” Li Yibo said. At this time, he had a feeling of escaping from death, and for a time couldn’t organize any language to comment.

“Yes, Thunder played very well in the first half, demonstrating well to people how to create trouble for Happy’s team.”

“Happy’s response was also wonderful, um... they... also demonstrated how to limit Thunder’s excellent tactics.” Li Yibo continued Pan Lin’s words, with some hesitation in between, because the method Happy demonstrated, like Thunder’s defeat of Blue Rain last time, had a bit of a backdoor flavor and shouldn’t be promoted.

After losing last time, Blue Rain could very aggrievedly denounce the ban on voice chat. But what about Thunder? They suddenly changed from beneficiaries to victims, swallowing the bitter pill, unable to speak their suffering!
