Hu Die Lan

Chapter 1490 Afterimage

Were they enraged?

Many people were thinking this as they watched Huang Shaotian roar in the chat, not even bothering with punctuation marks. But there were also many who weren't fooled. Huang Shaotian's fighting had always been on a different level from his trash talk. If you only looked at his trash talk, you wouldn't see a hint of the calm, cruel opportunist style.

So even though he was currently yelling in the chat that he couldn't stand Steamed Bun anymore, at least half the audience didn't believe it at all.

Steamed Bun didn't seem to believe it either. He completely ignored Huang Shaotian and focused on controlling Steamed Bun Invasion to fight with Lu Hanwen's Flowing Cloud.

This was an entirely normal action. With a powerful enemy pressing him, how could he abandon the battle in front of him just because someone shouted something and run off to fight someone else?

However, everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but have a thought arise in their minds: Steamed Bun looked down on Huang Shaotian and no longer bothered to fight him.

What was going on?

Those who had this thought couldn't help but laugh and cry. This was such an important playoff match, with such a fast pace and so many changes. The excitement was endless, but when the scene shifted here, why was it shrouded in such an unserious atmosphere?

Were these two really treating this as a serious match?

Even Blue Rain's fans couldn't help but doubt their Sword Saint.

So what was the Sword Saint really doing?

After trash-talking to Steamed Bun, Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain actually abandoned his opponent and was about to kill Steamed Bun Invasion!

"Has he lost his cool?"

Seeing this scene, many people cried out. Surprise, disappointment, schadenfreude—all kinds of emotions were stirred up by Huang Shaotian's one action.

Retreating so forcefully was, of course, very unwise. Even the chaotic Steamed Bun wouldn't abandon Lu Hanwen in front of him in this situation. Yet Huang Shaotian, who should have been more mature, made such a childish move, and the person he abandoned was Ye Xiu! Ye Xiu, who was even more terrifying than Lu Hanwen.

Ye Xiu certainly didn't miss the opportunity. Lord Grim immediately chased after the opening revealed by Troubling Rain's forced retreat.

Sword light suddenly erupted at this moment.

Phantom Sword Dance!

The Blade Master's level 70 ultimate skill, still the strongest output skill to date, Phantom Sword Dance, was unleashed when Troubling Rain forcefully retreated, but before he could reach Steamed Bun Invasion.

Then, one step, one turn.

The opening left by Troubling Rain's forced retreat was suddenly completely enveloped by sword light.

Oh oh oh oh!!!!

Blue Rain Club's Xiaochuan Stadium instantly resounded with Blue Rain fans' cheers and screams.

They were so excited because their core, their trump card, their idol, their Sword Saint, had not disappointed them after all.

He hadn't lost his cool. This was a trap, a trap to lure the enemy into the net.

But Ye Xiu was also prepared.

Faced with the sudden turn and the erupting sword light, Lord Grim retreated quickly, the sword light chasing closely.

Shua shua shua… ding… shua shua…

The intersecting sword lights flickered, occasionally making the sound of collision. Huang Shaotian's Phantom Sword Dance was so fast that everyone couldn't see how he was attacking. It seemed that in just a moment, the sword light erupted, dazzling and eye-catching, and then in the next moment, the sword light became silent and cold…

Everything seemed to be over. Troubling Rain and Lord Grim stood still.

What happened?

While too many people felt lost, Lord Grim suddenly charged out.

What about Troubling Rain? Troubling Rain didn't move. Huang Shaotian actually watched as Lord Grim rushed over and stabbed him with a Twin Slash.

And he was still maintaining a pose.

The finishing pose of Phantom Sword Dance…

Huang Shaotian unleashed the final strike of Phantom Sword Dance, but he failed to hit his target.

A big opening. This was undoubtedly a big opening. Many Blade Masters would rather give up the most powerful final strike of Phantom Sword Dance if they weren't completely sure.

Huang Shaotian made this strike, but it didn't hit, so what did that mean? Almost every Glory player could stand up and give Huang Shaotian a lesson.

But how could Huang Shaotian not understand this principle? How could his technique be so immature?

That was why everyone felt this situation was unbelievable, and this doubt was so heavy that the TV broadcast couldn't even focus on the complete picture of the battle. It immediately cut to a small window and replayed the contest between Ye Xiu and Huang Shaotian on this Phantom Sword Dance in slow motion.

What kind of contest was this?

Even at four times slower speed, everyone could still clearly feel a sense of "speed."

Phantom Sword Dance was so fast, but Ye Xiu's response seemed even faster.

Lord Grim avoided each strike of this ultimate skill with extremely subtle movements. The tip of the sword and the blade were always moving around him, almost hitting. When a sword looked like it was about to hit, the audience was so nervous that their hearts were in their throats, and this was just watching a slow-motion replay of what had already happened!

Then they saw Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella suddenly lengthen, and the sword that seemed impossible to avoid was actually blocked.

He parried Phantom Sword Dance?

Besides being dumbfounded, what other expression was more appropriate at this time?

Everyone had only seen this kind of thing in performances. Two professional Blade Master players both used Phantom Sword Dance, and then there was a chaotic collision, a dazzling display of skill. But that was after prior practice. Both sides knew the angle and speed of the other's attack. But now, this was in the playoffs, and the one wielding Phantom Sword Dance was the leader of the Blade Masters, the Sword Saint!

And his Phantom Sword Dance was actually attacked and parried in the middle…

After that, Lord Grim continued to retreat, continued to dodge.

His attack parry obviously couldn't interrupt the attack of Phantom Sword Dance. The ultimate skill quickly reached its climax, and it was already amazing that he could hold on to this point. No matter how you looked at it, there was no way to dodge or block the next attack, and this strike just happened to be the final strike of this Phantom Sword Dance!

Sword up!

Bringing with it an incomparably sharp sword light. The scattered sword shadows from before seemed to be condensed on this sword at this moment, and the last brilliant sword light flashed out!

What was that?

As a result, looking at the end of the sword light, everyone couldn't help but blink or rub their eyes.

Were they seeing things?

Everyone was thinking this because, in their eyes, Lord Grim seemed to have a double image at that moment, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The scene suddenly reversed again, slowing down, turning to eight times slower.

So now everyone could see clearly.

Shadow Clone Technique!

It was Shadow Clone Technique. Lord Grim's hands were so fast that people couldn't detect it. He completed a seal, right in the middle of Phantom Sword Dance, this extremely fast skill…

What kind of hand speed was this?

Everyone was searching on the screen, hoping for a number to tell them, but there was nothing…

There was no number, only a feeling, but how could ordinary people feel this kind of inhuman thing?

Shadow Clone Technique didn't send the real body far away. The real body and the fake body were almost stuck together. The final strike of Phantom Sword Dance slashed at this time, and at eight times the speed, everyone finally saw that the shadow clone was cut to pieces by this final strike the moment the skill was released. At four times the speed, this moment was so fast that everyone thought they saw a double image because it really only appeared for a moment.

And the fact that it was only a moment even at four times slower speed also let everyone know that this was the only way to avoid this sword. Ordinary movement and positioning couldn't increase speed through hand speed. Only the ninja's hand seals could release skills as fast as their hand speed.

In the end, Ye Xiu succeeded.

In a way that exceeded everyone's imagination.

And everyone hadn't forgotten that Ye Xiu was a ten-year veteran. Shouldn't this kind of hand speed that was too fast to bear be a patent for young people?

Huang Shaotian's final strike of Phantom Sword Dance didn't hit, but at this time, no one thought he had made a mistake.

He had done very well, forcing Ye Xiu, who could avoid and resist each sword, to the point where he couldn't avoid or block it in the end. And what happened after that couldn't really be blamed on Huang Shaotian. How could those things that exceeded the limits of human imagination be regarded as human miscalculations?

It wasn't Huang Shaotian's fault, but no matter what, his Troubling Rain was in trouble again, and Ye Xiu controlled Lord Grim to launch another series of attacks. But the audience who had just watched the replay in the small window couldn't return to the normal match for the time being. At that moment, at that instant, they hadn't even been able to confirm that it was real. They wanted to watch it a few more times.

In contrast, the live audience was much better off.

There were enough large screens suspended in the center of the sky, which could be repeatedly played and played back… But in fact, it didn't repeat for too long. After all, this was Blue Rain's home stadium, and that wasn't a wonderful moment that belonged to Blue Rain.

But just once was enough to silence the entire venue.

Xiaochuan Stadium was silent at this time. This was a wonderful moment belonging to Happy, but the Happy die-hards in the west stands had also forgotten to cheer in surprise.

Inconceivable.

These four words were probably the only way to summarize that scene. Pan Lin and Li Yibo in the TV broadcast were also constantly chanting these four words.

But on the field, a chaotic rain was quietly falling at this time. The offensive Ye Xiu had gained through his unbelievable operation was dissolved by this inconspicuous chaotic rain.

"No matter how wonderful it is, it's just avoiding one attack." In Blue Rain's team channel, their captain Yu Wenzhou said calmly.

Huang Shaotian's calmness was to help him clearly and accurately capture the opportunity to kill. In Blue Rain, the one who was truly calm like a millennium-old glacier that would never melt was still their captain.
