Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1435 Double-Sided Bait
Yu Ye Sheng Fan flipped to the left, dodging Hai Wu Liang's sneaky qi wave bullet aimed at the lower body. In the instant of rolling, Huang Shaotian adjusted his view to sweep all four directions: front, back, left, and right.
He had already mentally mapped out the terrain he'd passed, knowing where ambush points might be. At this moment, Huang Shaotian simply needed the most accurate confirmation. Where was the opponent, and where could he break through?
Of course, there was also a very important point: his teammates had to know his situation.
"Ambush!"
Huang Shaotian really accomplished a lot in the instant he rolled to dodge the attack. But Fang Rui, who had launched the attack, wasn't going to give up so quickly.
Spiral Spirit Energy Kill!
Because Fang Rui's Qi Master always maintained a hunched, sneaky posture, the angle of his attacks was very different from traditional Qi Masters. He directed many of his skills at the lower body. But just as Yu Ye Sheng Fan finished rolling and didn't have time to stand up, he saw that Hai Wu Liang's fist was also rotating, spirit energy twisting into a ball, directly assaulting his face.
Roll again!
Huang Shaotian had no choice but to make Yu Ye Sheng Fan roll again to dodge. At the same time, he launched a counterattack.
Drawing Sword Slash!
The sword light slashed out during Yu Ye Sheng Fan's rolling. This technique was easy to say, but if an ordinary player tried it, they'd probably chop the ground eight out of ten times. It wasn't so simple to draw a sword during such a roll.
The sword light slashed out.
But then he saw Hai Wu Liang suddenly flop to the ground, and the sword light brushed past him. Then, with his butt raised and his body arched, he suddenly thrust his palm forward, spirit energy dazzling, actually unleashing a Flash Hundred Strikes like that.
How ugly!
Team Blue Rain encompassed everything; they had all sorts of strange players. Huang Shaotian was used to it and wasn't a particularly fussy person. But Fang Rui's battle stance as a Qi Master still made him unable to look directly at it.
This posture, appearing on a Qi Master, was really too discordant. No wonder Fang Rui had been suddenly thrown out of the All-Star vote this season.
The transformation was a fatal flaw, and a transformation that was so ugly was even worse!
Whether they liked Fang Rui's sneaky style, or had thoughts about the Qi Master Hai Wu Liang, seeing such a battle appearance at this time, they probably wouldn't be able to bring themselves to vote?
But, as ugly as it was, it was really troublesome to deal with!
Because the battle was unconventional, it was difficult to predict Fang Rui's attacks. For example, just now, he suddenly arched up from the ground and sent out a Flash Hundred Strikes. In the more than ten years of Glory, no Qi Master had ever done that. How could you guard against that? Huang Shaotian relied entirely on his extraordinary reaction and operation, forcing Yu Ye Sheng Fan to roll again to avoid it.
And so, after several exchanges, Yu Ye Sheng Fan hadn't had a chance to stand up since the first roll to dodge, and had also started rolling all over the ground. Fang Rui was skilled at this rolling around, but others weren't familiar with it! Huang Shaotian suddenly became passive, and moreover, Fang Rui wasn't the only one here. What about Ye Xiu? What about Su Mucheng? What about Qiao Yifan? He hadn't seen them anywhere after looking around, and they might be lurking at any angle!
Behind that rock?
He quickly rolled to dodge Hai Wu Liang's attacks, and as a huge rock brushed past Yu Ye Sheng Fan, Huang Shaotian's heart tightened, and he understood even more with his God's perspective. The home team's Xing Xin fans were already waiting in anticipation for this scene, the cheers were already prepared, but...
Sword Control the World!
Huang Shaotian actually used the Swordsman's Awakening skill at the moment Yu Ye Sheng Fan brushed past the rock.
*Tss!*
Like the sound of a sharp sword being drawn from its scabbard, the sword energy spread out in a circle.
Ye Xiu's Jun Mo Xiao was hiding behind the rock, but Huang Shaotian's willingness to use an Awakening ultimate move to guard against a possible sneak attack was really surprising.
Any offense would be interrupted by the Sword Control the World's sword energy immobilization effect. Ye Xiu had no choice but to have the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella prop up again, using the shield to dissolve the immobilization effect.
Yu Ye Sheng Fan rolled again, actually heading towards Jun Mo Xiao behind the rock. And with this change of direction, he temporarily shook off Hai Wu Liang, who had been chasing after him all the way. Huang Shaotian finally allowed Yu Ye Sheng Fan to stand up straight, but the hurdle in front of him was extremely difficult to overcome.
Falling Flower Palm!
The instant Jun Mo Xiao put away the umbrella shield, a Falling Flower Palm slid forward.
Jun Mo Xiao in front, Hai Wu Liang behind.
Falling Flower Palm had an area-of-effect attack and strong impact force. There was no time to dodge, and attacking, parrying, or blocking would inevitably result in a knockback effect. At this moment, almost everyone felt that Huang Shaotian really had no way to deal with it, but...
Immortal Guides the Way!
A Swordsman skill with a strong blow-away effect. In terms of judgment, it was much stronger than Falling Flower Palm. But given the current distance between the two characters, Falling Flower Palm had already been launched, could Immortal Guides the Way still make it in time?
Yes!
In the tiny space, Yu Ye Sheng Fan actually managed to execute an Immortal Guides the Way, which many people found incredible. Even if Huang Shaotian's hand speed exploded, limited by the character's attributes and skill attributes, this move shouldn't have been possible at this time, right?
"Sword Control the World."
Li Yibo was ultimately more knowledgeable than most people.
The reason why Immortal Guides the Way came in time was because there had been a Sword Control the World before.
Sword Control the World wasn't just a skill that hurt people with that ring of sword energy; it was a state skill, a state skill that strengthened the Swordsman's sword moves.
Under normal circumstances, this Immortal Guides the Way would not have been possible with any hand speed, but with the state enhancement of Sword Control the World, everything was different.
"So that's how it is!" Pan Lin's reaction was slower, and he only realized it after Li Yibo said so. He immediately admired him from the bottom of his heart. He admired Li Yibo for thinking of it first, and even more admired Huang Shaotian for having such accurate judgment at such a moment.
But even accurate judgment couldn't stand up to numbers.
Immortal Guides the Way broke Jun Mo Xiao's Falling Flower Palm, but then Huang Shaotian discovered that Yu Ye Sheng Fan was in a place where ghost power was gathering, with faint blue frost snowflakes. This was an Ice Formation!
Triple Slash!
Now was definitely not the time to think too much. Huang Shaotian immediately had Yu Ye Sheng Fan use Triple Slash. The effect of Sword Control the World was also effective on Triple Slash. The sword light and movement became sharper than normal. Yu Ye Sheng Fan instantly broke away from that area. Sure enough, the Ice Formation formed, and snowflakes fluttered within the boundary range, looking very beautiful, but Huang Shaotian didn't want Yu Ye Sheng Fan to get close at all.
The Formation Ghost has already attacked, but where is he?
Looking around, Ye Xiu's Jun Mo Xiao and Fang Rui's Hai Wu Liang had already rushed up again. This time, Huang Shaotian didn't see where Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash was.
This is troublesome.
Huang Shaotian hesitated, should he call for help from the team?
The four of them had painstakingly scouted the terrain and then deployed their forces there. According to Huang Shaotian's original plan, he wanted to use himself as bait to bring Xing Xin into the area and then launch a decisive battle. But in the current situation, it seemed that this bait might not be able to escape the net laid out by the opponent.
Not being able to find Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash, allowing the opponent to hide and leisurely release formations, Yu Ye Sheng Fan would sooner or later be locked in this area by a chain of ghost formations. It would be even more troublesome to call for help then. In order to help him escape, the team would definitely be greatly restrained.
But even if he called now, how much better would it be?
Breaking away from the established area, Blue Rain's previous deployment would all be in vain. And the opponent also had proper arrangements here. The encirclement of Yu Ye Sheng Fan was probably to force the Blue Rain team to show up and fight to the death here.
The key to this game was who could lead the other into their own deployment.
Huang Shaotian was bait, and a double-sided bait.
Xing Xin wanted to trap him in order to force Blue Rain to come here and start a battle; while Blue Rain hoped that Huang Shaotian could escape and then bring Xing Xin into their deployment.
He couldn't call for help. Calling for help would be playing right into the opponent's hands!
But Huang Shaotian didn't shout, someone else shouted for him.
"Everyone come help! Huang Shaotian is about to be killed!!!"
Wind Following Array? Wei Chen!
Huang Shaotian was stunned when he saw the name of the person who released the message.
Did Xing Xin play this trick again? They replaced the character without anyone knowing. The character sitting in the sixth position couldn't send messages.
Jun Mo Xiao, Hai Wu Liang, One Inch Ash, Wind Following Array.
These were the four known Xing Xin characters on the field.
Who was the other one? Was it Su Mucheng's Mu Yu Cheng Feng, or An Wenyi's Little Hand Cold?
Logically speaking, it was impossible to switch the Priest out, especially in a playoff game where caution was paramount.
But Xing Xin couldn't be judged by common sense. What tactics wouldn't they dare to use? Moreover, the Priest had always been regarded as Xing Xin's weakness. They often used it as bait, designing traps that both protected the Priest and harmed the opponent.
Switching the Priest out of the game was a common tactic for them. What protection was safer than throwing the Priest into the sixth position?
What exactly was the lineup?
Huang Shaotian couldn't see it. He could only venture, charge, and try to figure out Xing Xin's true lineup.
The substitute area wasn't close to here; it wasn't possible to adjust at any time. If they could confirm that it was a healer-less lineup, disrupting their attack deployment and then having a decisive battle here with the entire team wasn't impossible.
"What's the situation?" At this time, Yu Wenzhou probably asked in the Blue Rain channel after seeing the distress message sent by Wei Chen.
"Get ready to attack." Huang Shaotian reported his position coordinates, "The opponent may have a healer-less lineup."
"No healer, how bold!" Yu Wenzhou sighed. As he had expected, if Xing Xin really wanted to achieve something in the playoffs, they couldn't follow the rules. If they really found an open space and just pulled apart to fight, Yu Wenzhou believed that Xing Xin probably wouldn't have a big chance of winning against any team in the playoffs.
Their teams' tactics and coordination were far more mature than Xing Xin's.
So Xing Xin had to be unconventional; only by being unconventional could they win.
So what was your unconventional move? Yu Wenzhou had been thinking about this question.
