Chant!

Without the slightest hesitation, Fengshan Guiqi’s blade began to flicker.

Despite the lively chatter and dice-rolling in the team chat, both players were carefully controlling their characters, using their extensive experience to anticipate their opponent's moves.

The moment Li Xuan stopped chatting, he realized that Lord Grim was nearby. Without hesitation, he had Fengshan Guiqi summon a ghost array.

But just halfway through the chant, Lord Grim's figure suddenly flashed out from the front.

So fast!

Li Xuan was startled. He had come faster than he expected. Could he release it after only chanting halfway?

Bang!

Lord Grim fired, the bullet flying accurately.

No!

Li Xuan made a precise judgment instantly, canceling the current ghost array chant. Fengshan Guiqi jumped to avoid the shot, and the silver weapon Four-Wheeled Heavenly Dance circled around him, summoning a shadow.

Shadow was a Ghostblade's armor skill, negating damage a certain number of times within one minute. Facing off against an experienced opponent like Ye Xiu head-on, Li Xuan didn't allow Fengshan Guiqi to summon a ghost array again, instead pulling up a shadow and immediately retreating.

Lord Grim's arrival was faster than he expected, but it wasn't that simple to decide the victory with just that speed. Fengshan Guiqi retreated quickly, and in a few steps, he had flashed into another corner. Without hesitation, he began chanting again.

Fengshan Guiqi's casting speed was extremely fast. Li Xuan believed that Lord Grim could not possibly reappear in front of him and interrupt him so quickly through movement alone. But this time, with a loud boom, Lord Grim blasted the corner of the wall diagonally in front of Fengshan Guiqi with a cannon, creating a pit. The rubble and sand from the wall flew everywhere, and Fengshan Guiqi, who was close by, unfortunately could not escape unscathed.

Interrupted!

Without seeing Fengshan Guiqi, Lord Grim indirectly interrupted Fengshan Guiqi's spellcasting with this attack.

This was the duel of top experts.

From searching for each other to the current offense and defense, they relied entirely on judgment and inference based on their awareness. Apart from the shot Lord Grim used to interrupt the spellcasting earlier, the two had not seen each other's movements at all. This was entirely a battle of minds.

Retreat!

Interrupted again, Li Xuan had no choice but to retreat again. Fengshan Guiqi continued to sprint backward, and he knew the street terrain ahead like the back of his hand, having chosen the map himself. But after running only a few steps, Li Xuan heard another gunshot, followed by the sound of mechanical rotors.

Coming from above!

Li Xuan quickly raised his character's view, and Fengshan Guiqi's movement changed again.

However, the audience saw Lord Grim use Flying Gun to move, and the Mechanical Wings only allowed him to fly at a low altitude.

So cunning!

The audience was amazed. Ye Xiu deliberately used the sound effects of Lord Grim's two skills to mislead Li Xuan's judgment. In reality, Lord Grim was still chasing on the ground. He suddenly emerged from the corner and charged straight at him.

Li Xuan, who had chosen different corner movements to defend against an aerial attack, was now suddenly facing Lord Grim, who appeared in front of him and charged straight at him. He was instantly in an awkward situation.

Run!

Seeing the distance between them, Li Xuan knew that he still didn't have a chance to chant and could only run again to find a new position.

But this time, it was not so easy for him to escape. As soon as Lord Grim used those skills with movement, the instantaneous burst of speed was something that a Ghostblade could not match.

The bullets flying from the distance soon turned into the glint of blades slashing up close.

Li Xuan then realized that Lord Grim's earlier appearance, "faster than he expected," was probably the key to the game!

Because of that one step, he was at a disadvantage every step of the way. Ye Xiu never gave him a chance to release a ghost array. And now, he had successfully closed in. In this duel, Fengshan Guiqi, the number one ghost array master, had not even managed to set down a single ghost array.

How ridiculous was that?

Ground Fissure Wave Sword!

Fengshan Guiqi suddenly turned around and swept a Wave Sword at Lord Grim, who was attacking from behind.

Lord Grim jumped lightly, dodging it.

Moonlight Slash, Full Moon Slash!

Two consecutive slashes.

"Stop struggling!" Ye Xiu said in the chat while controlling Lord Grim to dodge, showing that this wave of attacks was not threatening at all.

But Fengshan Guiqi had already started chanting at this moment, trying to forcibly summon a ghost array.

As a result, Ye Xiu ignored him and Lord Grim charged!

The ghost array fell.

Fengshan Guiqi successfully summoned a ghost array, but...

Blade Formation... a blade formation that enhanced the character's strength and intelligence. This obviously had no direct binding effect on the opponent. At the same time as the blade formation was formed, Lord Grim's blade had already struck his head.

"You're just obsessed!" Ye Xiu sighed.

"Yeah, it would be too much if I couldn't even release a ghost array..." Li Xuan said.

He released a blade formation, the only ghost array successfully chanted in this match, but it did not have any crucial impact on the battle. Then, Fengshan Guiqi was stuck to Lord Grim and had no such opportunity again, until he was defeated and fell.

Ye Xiu won the first match, and it seemed like an easy victory. The so-called number one Ghostblade didn't seem to pose any threat to him. But true experts would not see it that way.

This game was truly a game decided by one move. Now that Lord Grim was stuck to Fengshan Guiqi, it looked like he was winning easily. But if Fengshan Guiqi had trapped Lord Grim with a ghost array in the first step, perhaps everyone would have seen Lord Grim being easily killed by Fengshan Guiqi in a series of ghost arrays.

And to achieve this step, the countless actions of both sides beforehand were key. Those judgments made without seeing the opponent, based only on awareness and experience, were the essence of this match. But for too many viewers, what was the point of watching this scene without fighting or killing?

The audience at the scene was obviously a little dissatisfied with Li Xuan's performance. But he was their captain, their core, so everyone was still quite respectful. When Li Xuan left the stage, there was still some scattered applause. However, the so-called "rhythm of counterattack" for Void was really an unfavorable start, losing a point right away. The originally lively and crazy Void home field had become somewhat depressed in just a few minutes.

At this stage, every point was precious.

Many of the audience members at the scene watched the match in front of them while paying attention to the real-time news of other matches. If Void wanted to enter the playoffs, it was not enough to rely on their own efforts. They also needed other teams to do poorly so that they could give way to them.

And when their first individual match was over, some news also came from other matches.

Team Wind Howl was already leading Thunder 1-0 in the individual competition, Hundred Blossoms defeated Misty Rain 1-0, and 301 defeated Miracle 1-0.

Everyone was winning, only Void had lost this point.

Was there no hope?

Everyone silently watched the second pair of players enter the arena, and the applause was a little stiff. Losing one point seemed as painful as losing ten points to the Void audience. Even though they saw that their opponents in the second round had a greater chance of winning, they couldn't muster much energy.

The second match of the individual competition was Xingxin's Luo Ji against Void's Gai Caijie.

The two were not much different in age and were considered juniors in the circle, but Luo Ji was only starting to practice in actual combat now, while Gai Caijie had already shown his demeanor as a general last season and became a very important member of Team Void.

Gai Caijie entered the arena calmly, but what about Luo Ji? The surface calm was only to hide the tension in his heart.

He could really be said to have accepted the task of the match with a stiff upper lip, and he had been nervous since yesterday. He hadn't eliminated that feeling at all. He didn't know when he would be able to eliminate this nervousness, he only knew that after understanding that Xingxin's situation was also a bit severe, his heart beat even more violently.

Unfortunately, the referee didn't care about these things. After seeing both sides enter the arena, he signaled for the characters to load. Soon, the second round of the individual competition began.

The characters were loaded into the map, and Luo Ji quickly observed the map.

Village, the scenery was nice, and there was a morning glow floating in the sky. In the center of the map was an avenue. At the end of the avenue, Gai Caijie's Qing Zhi Qu could be seen walking over steadily, neither fast nor slow.

Luo Ji immediately had Mo Guang detour and hide behind a thatched house. He still didn't have the confidence to communicate directly with any professional player face-to-face. He insisted on tactics in every game. He could be much smoother with the home team's self-selected map, but when it came to away games, facing maps that he didn't understand, he could only be more flustered.

Unfortunately, this map was one that Luo Ji didn't understand. After temporarily hiding Mo Guang, Luo Ji didn't know what to do next.

Operating Mo Guang, he secretly poked his head out to look at the avenue, but Qing Zhi Qu was gone. Luo Ji was even more at a loss.

Go out?

Wait here?

Bilateral selection left Luo Ji in a dilemma.

His calculation ability was originally good, but the opponent's initial unhurried movement speed made it impossible for him to judge how fast they would be. Especially now that his opponent had simply used tactical movement and drilled into some part of the village, Luo Ji had no way of knowing.

It seemed that he could only respond to all changes with the same.

Luo Ji began to deploy his positions, and he was definitely not a player who didn't use his brain. Since he wasn't familiar with the entire map, he would learn about a local area, and then open up this local area into a battlefield, making full use of everything here.

Luo Ji operated Mo Guang and quickly and carefully surveyed this small corner of the map.

The spirit cat was sent out first and was sent to hide in a patch of grass at the front end.

Then, the Demonic Plant was planted behind a tree. Qing Zhi Qu's direction should not directly find it in his field of vision.

Then, Little Flying Dragon and Thunder Eagle landed on the roofs of the two symmetrical thatched huts on the left and right.

Then, Mo Guang himself drilled into the thatched hut on the left. The house had no windows, so Luo Ji controlled it and made Mo Guang poke a hole in the roof with his staff.

The audience was stunned.

This seemed to be a fighting game, right? How did they all play like this?
