Chapter 1026 Madness

The 26-round winning streak was insane.

When it would be interrupted was undoubtedly a concern, and the player who could break this super winning streak would certainly seem extraordinary. Thus, whenever Happy had an away game, the home audience would place high expectations on their team's player who faced Ye Xiu, hoping he could become the terminator of this most legendary record in history.

The Tiny Herb fans were no exception. When Xu Bin's name was displayed on the electronic screen, the crowd immediately erupted with frenzied cheers. It was extremely rare to be so excited during the individual competition. Actually, it was because every match with Ye Xiu was filled with hype due to the crazy winning streak.

Xu Bin stood up amidst the cheers and went on stage. His opponent, Ye Xiu, had already entered the competition booth on the other end.

The map was chosen by the home team, Tiny Herb, so they naturally wouldn't give Ye Xiu a simple arena map to suit his wishes.

The Fallen Back Garden.

Flowers and plants, artificial hills and fountains, pavilions and corridors—a very rich map that Tiny Herb had chosen to deal with Ye Xiu in this match.

The match began, and both characters were refreshed.

Having chosen such a map, of course, they would use tactical positioning. Xu Bin immediately had Duhuo take a detour, flanking to the left. Reaching a certain point, he used the artificial hill as a foothold, jumping several times to reach the top of the corridor on the side.

The map wasn't large, and this high point was enough to give him a panoramic view. Xu Bin turned his perspective and easily found Lord Grim's location. It seemed that on such a map, Ye Xiu didn't mind playing some tactical positioning with his opponent, and Lord Grim was also flanking from the other end. As Xu Bin saw him, Ye Xiu also immediately noticed Duhuo on the corridor.

With both sides exposing themselves so easily, the subsequent tactical positioning wouldn't be so convenient. Xu Bin had Duhuo continue to pose on the corridor, paying attention to Ye Xiu's movements. Then, he saw Ye Xiu controlling Lord Grim and charging over.

Were they about to collide?

Then wouldn't the tactical positioning of these two be meaningless? No one was able to gain the upper hand through this.

In the live broadcast studio, the commentator and two guests began to discuss this issue.

"Xu Bin's actions are more proactive. He couldn't have not thought about exposing himself while doing this. Perhaps that's his purpose," Ruan Cheng said.

"He's getting closer. In fact, he's already almost within Lord Grim's attack range, but he hasn't started attacking yet," Pan Lin called out.

Lord Grim charged up, but Duhuo stood on top without avoiding. However, Lord Grim didn't just bury his head and charge blindly. Suddenly, his footsteps stopped. And at that moment, Duhuo's footsteps on the corridor also shifted slightly, but after Lord Grim's sudden stop, he quickly braked as well.

"This distance..." The three in the live broadcast studio began to study the meaning of Lord Grim's sudden stop.

"Outside the range that a knight's Heroic Leap can hit," the three quickly concluded, combining the skills of the two characters.

"Oh? Is the threat of Heroic Leap that great here?" Pan Lin said.

"Taking the opportunity to grab a player shouldn't be a big problem," Ruan Cheng said.

"But it seems that Ye Xiu has realized this," Li Yibo said.

"The two are really not giving an inch!" Pan Lin exclaimed, but at this moment, Lord Grim stood outside the limit distance of the knight Duhuo, and actually began to chant a spell openly.

Duhuo still didn't move.

This distance wasn't very close for a spell, and Xu Bin felt that he could completely wait for the skill to be cast.

Blizzard!

Lord Grim chanted the spell, and hail and snowflakes fell.

Duhuo took two steps to the side, dodging. He wouldn't be hit by such a skill.

Lord Grim chanted two more spells in succession, one from a mage and one from a warlock. Xu Bin still only controlled Duhuo to simply avoid them, seemingly without any intention of counterattacking.

"Xu Bin is starting to stall..." Li Yibo said.

Pan Lin had a headache. Xu Bin's match was slow and lukewarm, making it really difficult to commentate. At this time, he was just dodging Lord Grim's not-so-threatening spells, and he didn't know what he was planning.

"Aren't you going to come down?" Ye Xiu began to speak.

"Not in a hurry," Xu Bin said calmly.

"Then I'm coming up?" Ye Xiu said.

"Alright!" Xu Bin readily agreed.

So Lord Grim pulled out the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, the umbrella bones unfolded, and the metallic sound clanged, and the mechanical propeller rose.

Flying up!

Lord Grim suddenly rose into the air, Ye Xiu staring intently at Duhuo's movements.

He moved!

Just as he agreed to his opponent coming up, and his opponent was indeed preparing to come up, Duhuo suddenly came down.

Heroic Leap!

Xu Bin controlled Duhuo to cast this skill. He soared into the air, and the knight's sword slashed out, but, there was still a distance from Lord Grim! Ye Xiu controlled the mechanical propeller, and it was impossible to send himself forward.

Duhuo landed in a loud crash, and the air wave from the Heroic Leap, along with the impact of this attack, seemed to flatten the surrounding area.

Duhuo suddenly waved at Lord Grim, Taunt!

Lord Grim was out of control, heading straight for Duhuo. But he had already executed his attack. Taunt didn't affect a player's attack operations.

Duhuo, however, raised his left hand, and the Wall of叹息 (Tànxī) (Sigh), known as the most solid in all of Glory, directly met Lord Grim's falling attack.

"Defending to attack!" Ruan Cheng said.

"Defense is offense!" Li Yibo said.

Lord Grim, who had been hit by Taunt, seemed to have no choice but to crash into this shield.

The shield wouldn't be afraid of any attack, and after blocking Lord Grim's attack, Duhuo would immediately be able to launch a counterattack.

Opportunity!

Countless people shouted in their hearts.

But Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella also opened.

Shield against shield.

Everyone was immediately confused about what would happen next.

Shields collided, neither would suffer much damage, and both had the advantage of launching attacks under the cover of their shields. Xu Bin's original advantage was instantly returned to the starting line.

The two shields collided, Lord Grim fell from the air, with more momentum, but in terms of shield power, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was at most a light shield, completely unable to compare with Glory's number one shield, the Wall of 叹息 (Tànxī) (Sigh).

Shield Strike!

Duhuo even used a skill this time.

The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield was indeed no match, and Lord Grim was suspended in mid-air by the shield strike, but immediately turned into a cloud of shadow.

Shadow Clone Technique!

What Duhuo had crashed into was just a fake body. The real body had directly flashed behind the shield, in front of Duhuo.

Ye Xiu didn't care about the control effect of Taunt. He needed to get close to the target anyway. So he came directly following the hatred that Duhuo gave him.

Sword Draw Slash!

The sword rested beside his foot, falling rapidly, directly hitting Duhuo, knocking him backward.

However, the knockdown effect of Sword Draw Slash wasn't mandatory, and he could use a quick recovery to roll and stand up directly.

But no one expected that Xu Bin wouldn't do a quick recovery, and Duhuo just fell straight to the ground.

"Beautiful, accurate judgment!" Ruan Cheng praised in the broadcast. After Lord Grim's Sword Draw Slash, he directly threw a Draw Sword Technique over. If Duhuo had rolled to recover, this sword would probably have hit him directly. Who would have thought that he would simply let Duhuo lie dead? The sword light of this Draw Sword Technique brushed past his face. As soon as it passed, Duhuo immediately rolled up to the side, with his shield protecting him.

"Too slow!" Li Yibo called out. Xu Bin's awareness was accurate, but his operation seemed a little slow at this moment. Even with the shield protecting him, the offensive was still in Ye Xiu's hands! He should have immediately counterattacked as soon as he rolled up.

As a result, Lord Grim didn't take the opportunity to attack.

A faint light streaked across Duhuo's Wall of 叹息 (Tànxī) (Sigh).

"He's opened the Storm Counterattack!" Li Yibo suddenly realized. No wonder he didn't counterattack, no wonder Lord Grim also stopped his offensive.

It turned out that Duhuo had opened Storm Counterattack, a technique that absorbed all attack damage with his shield and returned it to his opponent.

"Slow has always been Xu Bin's characteristic!" Ruan Cheng laughed.

Li Yibo blushed a little, but couldn't argue. Because Xu Bin had indeed demonstrated his slow attribute in both of his responses to the attacks.

"Ye Xiu's offensive seems to have been blocked," Pan Lin said.

"That's right. Not doing a quick recovery before, and opening Storm Counterattack here, he's forcibly slowing down the rhythm. Ye Xiu's offensive hasn't even started and he's being suppressed!" Ruan Cheng said. He was happy about this unfavorable situation for Happy, but he couldn't be too obvious on the surface! Although he had already clearly stated his position, he had to appear more indifferent. It couldn't be "Haha, I knew you couldn't do it," but should be "Hehe, I knew you couldn't do it."

"Is that so?" Li Yibo suddenly smiled at this moment.

Lord Grim suddenly disappeared in front of Duhuo!

No, not disappeared. To be precise, disappeared from Duhuo's field of vision. Lord Grim swayed and hid himself in the field of vision blocked by Duhuo's Wall of 叹息 (Tànxī) (Sigh).

Xu Bin quickly lowered the Wall of 叹息 (Tànxī) (Sigh), but still didn't see Lord Grim. Lord Grim actually squatted down following the rhythm of his shield lowering.

Xu Bin quickly moved the Wall of 叹息 (Tànxī) (Sigh) horizontally again, but just as he moved, Lord Grim flashed and moved horizontally in the opposite direction of the shield's movement.

Skill movement!

"He's through!" Pan Lin shouted.

Lord Grim instantly circled behind the Wall of 叹息 (Tànxī) (Sigh) and began to attack Duhuo.

"Lord Grim passed Duhuo's Wall of 叹息 (Tànxī) (Sigh) like a football player dribbling past someone," Pan Lin called out.

"Haha, Little Pan, your metaphor is a bit interesting. According to you, Lord Grim hiding behind the shield and squatting down is a feint to deceive the opponent?" Li Yibo laughed.

"Haha, what you said is also very interesting," Pan Lin replied.

The two old partners were commentating happily, but Ruan Cheng was depressed at this time.

Although he didn't dare to be optimistic about Ye Xiu's opponent before the match, he really hoped that someone could end this record quickly. He felt annoyed whenever he thought about Happy having such a glorious record to show off.

But this time, he was afraid it wouldn't work again...

Having dribbled past the Wall of 叹息 (Tànxī) (Sigh), Duhuo was completely exposed in front of Lord Grim. The unspecialized quick attacks had already been unleashed, and skills were continuously bombarding him. The Wall of 叹息 (Tànxī) (Sigh) couldn't protect himself at this time.

"In this situation... I don't think Xu Bin can slow down anymore..." Pan Lin said.

"He can't slow down." Li Yibo didn't speak at first, but after seeing Duhuo trying to trap Lord Grim, but Lord Grim using a movement skill to flash out and continue attacking, he finally dared to draw a conclusion.

The winning streak would eventually continue.
