Chapter 2156 Wind and Sand

The wind didn't diminish, and the yellow sand flew even more wildly across the sky.

Han Wenqing facing three opponents was not just a matter of simple courage. The current terrain, this terrain that they, Tyranny, had specially chosen as their home field, was being utilized by him perfectly. On the shifting sand dunes, Desert Solitary Smoke's movements were obviously lighter and more agile than the three from Happy. The sand waves occasionally stirred up by his attacks, and the shifting sand masses he created, were all great hindrances to the Happy members.

Fang Rui and Su Mucheng, relying on their experience, had already adapted to the current rhythm of the sand dune movements, but they couldn't withstand Han Wenqing's repeated tossing and changing; a considerable amount of their energy had to be devoted to their footing. As for Tang Rou, it was even more difficult. Her Glory experience was somewhat lacking, and she relied more on reaction and hand speed to cope. The energy diverted away at this time was frightening.

In this way, one against three, Han Wenqing actually managed to hold them off!

He didn't need to defeat his opponents; as long as he blocked the three of them here, and Tyranny killed Happy's Little Cold Hands over there, the overall situation could be said to be settled.

Happy's members were, of course, fully aware of this key point. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had gone after Zhang Xinjie's Immovable Rock, leaving this place entirely in their hands. As long as they broke through and protected the healer, and formed a defensive cooperation with the healer, the healer could start to function, and the overall situation would become four against four. One side had a healer, and the other side didn't; the advantage and disadvantage were immediately apparent. What was even more fatal was that, on the other end, Ye Xiu was single-handedly pinning down Tyranny's healer...

What seemed to be a helpless move, forced by the Holy Fire to pursue Zhang Xinjie's Immovable Rock, now looked like an incredibly crucial piece on the chessboard. However, at the very least, Su Mucheng, Fang Rui, and Tang Rou needed to open up the situation here before this piece could shine brightly.

Three against one, break through...

The task entrusted to them really couldn't be said to be difficult. Those who understood the tactical intention behind it were amazed by Ye Xiu's decisive pursuit of Immovable Rock, and they all felt that this would be the key to a divine reversal.

But no one expected that three against one, they actually couldn't break through!

Blame the three for not being effective? No, the performance of the three couldn't be said to be falling short. Any expert watching the match, putting themselves in that situation, facing Desert Solitary Smoke's attacks, no one felt that they could easily break through this blockade.

There was always a need for some adaptation.

Everyone watched as the shifting became faster under the wind, and constantly changed rhythm under Desert Solitary Smoke's fists and feet, and they were all calculating what they would do if they were to break through this situation.

This was also a habit of professional players to constantly strengthen themselves. Only very harsh situations would trigger them to think so seriously.

Time passed.

Although Dancing Rain could occasionally send out some ranged attacks, that alone was far from enough to affect Tyranny's three ranged attack formation. The three from Happy weren't much hurt, but An Wenyi was miserable. Being bombarded by two Gunners and an Elementalist, including two who were masters of area-of-effect attacks, he immediately felt that there was no way out in any direction.

"I just don't believe it!!" Fang Rui's message jumped in the channel, and Boundless Sea suddenly took a big step back. Seeing this, Su Mucheng and Dancing Rain also retreated suddenly.

Mmm, mmm, mmm...

The experts watching the match nodded repeatedly. This was taking advantage of the fact that the Brawler's attack range was extremely short, and the area they could control was too small. Retreat, detour, might be slightly further, but at least it could solve the problem compared to a direct breakthrough.

Boundless Sea and Dancing Rain not only retreated, but also went left and right, wanting to make Han Wenqing unable to handle everything.

Who would have thought that Han Wenqing didn't seem to be troubled at all? His vision didn't seem to sweep over the two characters at all, as if he had known long ago that they would respond like this, and at this time, he sent all of Desert Solitary Smoke's attacks to Tang Rou's Soft Mist.

On the arena stage, the two faced each other, a fierce and powerful head-on attack. In the end, Tang Rou defeated Han Wenqing with the advantage of her character's health.

But now, on the team competition stage, one-on-one again, Tang Rou was at a complete disadvantage.

The map had too much influence. In this environment, Tang Rou couldn't concentrate on attacking at all. After only a few exchanges, Desert Solitary Smoke's Tyrannical Fist directly blasted Soft Mist ten steps away.

Turn around, sprint!

Desert Solitary Smoke actually rushed towards Little Cold Hands before Dancing Rain and Boundless Sea.

Forcefully kill!

The intention was too obvious.

Dancing Rain and Boundless Sea chased closely, when suddenly a dense barrage of firepower attacked the two characters.

Attack exchange!

The Tyranny team actually made an exchange at this time. Han Wenqing's Desert Solitary Smoke attacked Little Cold Hands, and the three ranged attackers suddenly fired at Dancing Rain and Boundless Sea.

Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, the Elementalist's area-of-effect attack, covered a large area. Even if Boundless Sea activated Qigong Shield, a defensive skill, he couldn't protect both characters completely. Not to mention Dancing Rain, the Launcher class had no defensive skills at all.

A forceful rush was definitely not a wise move. Su Mucheng could only have Dancing Rain counterattack, to see if she could create some openings.

"If they can maintain this situation, it wouldn't be too bad for Happy." In the TV broadcast, the guest commentator Li Yibo was analyzing the changes that had just taken place.

"In this way, both sides are outputting one-on-one against the healers. In the end, it's very likely that they will forcibly complete the exchange," he said.

"Oh..." Pan Lin understood, and the broadcast then turned the picture to Ye Xiu and Zhang Xinjie's side.

The strongest unspecialized in one-on-ones this season, facing the Priest with the weakest self-preservation ability, whose death was not a question of suspense, but a question of how long it would take to die.

Lord Grim had long since lifted the skill seal of Holy Fire. He moved quickly with a few skills, and easily caught up with Immovable Rock. The positions of the two characters were a bit far from that side already, and they were no longer on the sand dunes.

Ye Xiu attacked mercilessly, and Zhang Xinjie persisted tenaciously.

The two tactical masters, of course, knew very well what the key to the situation was at this time. It could even be said that this key point was formed in the tactical collision between the two.

But the two of them didn't care about the key point over there, not even a glance.

Even facing just a Priest, Ye Xiu didn't dare to slack off in his offensive. Because from the direction Immovable Rock was running, he saw another layer of Zhang Xinjie's intention.

Not far ahead, that was a substitution zone!

Substitution was a system-enforced judgment that couldn't be interrupted by any attack. Once there, Zhang Xinjie could exchange with Tyranny's sixth player, Lin Jingyan, at any time.

Of course, there was always a time limit after a substitution. You couldn't just play exchange games in the substitution zone. But as long as this one exchange was made, Tyranny's extremely important healer would be completely protected. As for the other end, Tyranny had the initiative in the situation. Happy's healer couldn't be saved, and Zhang Xinjie's Immovable Rock would directly escape, and the situation couldn't be worse than this.

If Little Cold Hands was finally saved, it wouldn't be a constraint for Tyranny. They would definitely retreat proactively earlier, and then exchange Zhang Xinjie in.

Inside and out, Tyranny wouldn't lose out. Zhang Xinjie liked to play this extremely stable calculation.

Ye Xiu certainly wouldn't let him succeed. Lord Grim clung to Immovable Rock, not giving him a chance to move forward even one step.

Zhang Xinjie certainly wouldn't pray for Ye Xiu to make a mistake. He never placed his hopes on luck. He was persisting, and at the same time, he was waiting. He was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity in the opponent's attack that would allow him to make a slight misalignment gap.

Here it comes!

Zhang Xinjie was steady and cautious. This kind of personality always easily gave people the illusion that his hand speed wasn't very high, and that he was playing with operational efficiency. However, according to the league's statistics on players' average hand speed rankings, Zhang Xinjie had never fallen out of the top ten since joining the Glory Alliance!

The reaction and hand speed of Glory's number one healer, even in this high-end professional circle, were among the best.

Charge!

The Priest in a long robe suddenly used such a heroic Knight skill.

However, for viewers familiar with the Glory professional circle, this wasn't too new a scene. Professional characters were thoroughly designed for PK, so their skill selection was very different from that of online game players who needed to juggle dungeon quests, or who simply focused on dungeon quests.

It wasn't strange at all for a healing class that only focused on PK to learn a low-level skill like Charge, which was also a Holy Knight skill. It was quite practical to use an accelerated movement to escape when being approached by an opponent.

Immovable Rock had used Charge once when he first started to escape, but his movement speed was not as good as an unspecialized, and he was quickly caught up. Zhang Xinjie wasn't in a hurry to use Charge again as soon as it was ready. He wouldn't underestimate Ye Xiu so much.

Even such an instant skill required timing.

He finally captured it. This misalignment was what he needed. In an instant, he charged out like a warrior without hesitation.

Whoosh!

As soon as Immovable Rock started, his vision was blocked.

The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella shield had been opened. Ye Xiu finally reacted. The umbrella shield had a large area. He used a position close to the edge to block this Charge.

It had to be said that the Priest's Charge was really good to look at. Their weapons were usually a cross, and when they charged, you could see the cross floating in front, emitting a holy white light, as if guiding them towards the light. But now, the light met the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella shield head-on.

However, the skill Charge could not be neutralized with just a shield, especially since the area of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella shield was large, but the mass was low. Its judgment was a relatively weak shield. Even if the Priest's Charge was not as strong as the Knight's, it was impossible to block it without moving.

The silver weapon in Immovable Rock's hand, the cross of opposing light, interweaved with white light, guiding Immovable Rock forward.

Lord Grim twisted his body, pressing his center of gravity more upright, resisting in front of Immovable Rock and sliding backward.

The distance of the slide was beyond the expectation of many people. The terrain, too many people suddenly thought of the terrain. The two characters were still in the desert. Under their feet was loose sand. When they retreated, their feet stirred up sand to open a path, and the friction was far less than on ordinary flat ground. By the time their legs sank into the sand to form effective resistance, the momentum of the skill was almost over.

It was farther than anyone expected, but it wasn't enough to enter the substitution zone. But at this moment, a ray of light burst from the cross of opposing light, forming a circle. It looked amazing, but the sand surface was calm and unaffected. However, Lord Grim on the sand surface, even with the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella shield, was forced back several steps by this ray of light.

Guardian Angel skill: Angelic Radiance!
