Chapter 1536 A More Favorable Terrain

Chapter 1237 Fierce Battle

Instead of a Hao Long Po Jun, it was a Fu Long Xiang Tian; Tang Rou gave the audience a little surprise. Those familiar with her knew that this girl had a boundless love for starting with Hao Long Po Jun, and it would have been a very reasonable opportunity to use that skill.

But in the end, Fire Dance Flowing Flame transformed into a dragon, arrogantly roaring as it pounced.

Changing her usual attack habits wasn’t a big surprise for Tyranny. They had already anticipated that Soft Mist would automatically step in but not appear in their field of vision. From the moment they stepped into this area, the Tyranny team had no blind spots in a 360-degree radius; everything was under their observation.

The magic qi that had transformed into a dragon drilled into Tyranny's formation, but the characters in the line of attack had already dodged.

Fu Long Xiang Tian, maintaining a certain distance?

But, was it useful? With the ending rhythm of a big move like Fu Long Xiang Tian, if this strike missed, the counterattack that would follow couldn't be digested with that little distance.

Zhang Xinjie was scrutinizing Tang Rou's skill choice. The combat qi had already dissipated, and this Fu Long Xiang Tian hadn't been fully executed before being forcibly canceled.

Canceling was also considered ending a move, but it was half as clean as finishing the move.

"Be careful!"

The two ranged characters from Tyranny had already opened fire on Soft Mist, but Zhang Xinjie didn't forget to remind everyone. This Fu Long Xiang Tian came with a bit of underestimation. He believed that Happy wasn't pinning their hopes on hitting with this one strike. The real offensive was in the changes after the move was retracted.

What could it be?

Zhang Xinjie had quickly sorted out several possibilities in his mind, and what Soft Mist did next, amidst the gunfire, didn't escape his judgment.

Dou Po Shan He! (Mountain Shattering Strike)

Soft Mist leaped into the air and swung her spear down with unparalleled boldness. Although Fu Long Xiang Tian's attack didn't succeed, it at least disrupted Tyranny's formation. That big move was ultimately just a feint. The next strike was an even more powerful disruption.

Soft Mist landed, and combat qi exploded!

Although Dou Po Shan He was also within Zhang Xinjie's expectations, Tyranny didn't have a suitable way to defuse this powerful skill. They could only temporarily avoid its sharpness, or perhaps, face it head-on!

Steel Body!

The two Grappler characters in Tyranny's formation both shook. The combat qi from Dou Po Shan He, sent underground and then exploding, stirred up the dead leaves and mud on the ground, which hit the two Grappler characters who didn't dodge with a series of "papas." Their health plummeted. The power of the Battle Mage's level 75 ultimate skill made the defense strengthened by the low-level skill Steel Body so insignificant.

However, with the persistent霸体 (bà tǐ) effect (super armor), the combat qi exploding from the ground could create a lot of damage, but it couldn't shake their movements in the slightest. Desert Dust and Dark Forest surged forward in anticipation before Soft Mist had fully landed. The attack couldn't shake them, and Soft Mist still had ending lag. Facing the pincer attack of these two, there was no possibility of dodging.

Two sprays of blood flew up, instantly scattered in the vortex of combat qi that was still erupting from Dou Po Shan He.

Had Soft Mist been knocked down? When people fixed their eyes and looked again, they were stunned. Right in the center of Dou Po Shan He's attack range weren't three people, but four...

What was happening?

The audience only felt that the scene that had just happened was a bit blurred in their memory. Experienced audience members immediately looked at the electronic screen. As expected, the replay of the scene was already starting.

Desert Dust and Dark Forest's attacks landed. Soft Mist was still in ending lag and couldn't move. But at the last moment, Lord Grim suddenly stood in front of her, flipping his hands up and down, two sprays of blood!

Desert Dust and Dark Forest's blood...

"Double Blade Second Stream!" An audience member who knew his stuff immediately shouted.

Double Blade Second Stream was a battle tactic that only Dark-attribute weapon Dual Swords could use. It was the nemesis of an opponent's attack parries and a benefit to one's own attack parries. Three-Zero-One's captain Yang Cong was very skilled in this way. And now, Lord Grim was splitting the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella into Dual Swords. With one on the left and one on the right, he was actually parrying the attacks of Desert Dust and Dark Forest together...

By the time the audience had finished appreciating and savoring it on the electronic screen, the situation had already changed.

Han Wenqing and Lin Jingyan, who had been through hundreds of battles, wouldn't be scared by the Double Blade Second Stream technique, but Lord Grim's sudden interception was indeed unexpected, and this instant movement came at just the right time, leaving the two with no time to react. However, neither of them were stunned. They immediately adjusted and attacked again. Ye Xiu's movements were even faster. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella Dual Swords in Lord Grim's hands, after parrying the attack, naturally closed together again. At the instant the weapon form changed, a dark shadow was smeared out from his sleeve.

Dark Night Cloak!

Han Wenqing and Lin Jingyan instantly recognized what skill this was. Although their characters had the 霸体 (bà tǐ) state (super armor), they had no resistance to grappling skills.

There was no choice but to dodge.

The two could only control their characters to avoid this Dark Night Cloak. With their unparalleled experience, they didn't waste any effort. This dodge was just barely outside the attack range of the Dark Night Cloak, as precise as could be. They also calculated the skill time with unparalleled accuracy. Before the black shadow had disappeared, the two characters had already stepped forward to launch a preemptive attack.

"Slow!"

Zhang Xinjie's message popped up in the chat, but it was too late...

*Shua*, a circle, a beam of black shadow instantly bound the two veteran players' characters together. Both were stunned. Misjudging the skill time? Impossible! Their minds were very clear now.

Lord Grim had already taken a step aside at this time. Although the two characters were bound by the Dark Night Cloak, they were still in the 霸体 (bà tǐ) state (super armor). Skills like knockback couldn't work at this time. Lord Grim simply wanted to run. And with his retreat, Soft Mist was revealed. Han Wenqing and Lin Jingyan instantly realized...

Soft Mist was a Mage-type. She could also learn the low-level skill Dark Night Cloak. Just now, Lord Grim had acted first. Then, after Soft Mist finished retracting, she immediately cast a Dark Night Cloak on top of Lord Grim's Dark Night Cloak. With the two skills' shadows overlapping, how could anyone tell them apart? Han Wenqing and Lin Jingyan had overlooked this point. They were only calculating the skill time of Lord Grim's Dark Night Cloak, and they were about to rush up when it expired. In the end, they were restrained by Soft Mist's Dark Night Cloak, which was cast a little later.

Soft Mist's attack wasn't seen by the two, but it was seen by Zhang Xinjie and the others in other positions. But by the time they reminded, the two had already been hit.

In just two rounds, everything happened in an instant. Lord Grim and Soft Mist immediately retreated. Although Zhang Jiale and Qin Muyun's ranged characters had attack distance, they couldn't keep the two. Moreover, the others from Happy weren't just watching. Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain's heavy firepower had long since come to support.

Chase!

Of course, Tyranny still had to chase. The characters Desert Dust and Dark Forest quickly emerged from the cloak's restraint. It couldn't be said that Lord Grim and Soft Mist had completely escaped. Soft Mist's wave of sneak attacks ultimately bought Happy's remaining three the opportunity to take their positions. However, Soft Mist herself, as well as Ye Xiu's Lord Grim who came to rescue her, were still within Tyranny's attack range.

Tyranny pressed directly at the two, biting them closely. Happy's other three characters had very skillfully taken the high ground here. This residential area in the forest was built with houses on the trees, scattered in a well-organized manner, visible everywhere.

Zhang Xinjie scanned it at a glance. The three characters had all gone to the rooms on the trees, standing by the windows. From the windows, Dancing Rain attacked, Little Cold Hands healed, and Steamed Bun Invades commanded his summoned beasts, trying to cover Ye Xiu and Tang Rou.

No!

It wasn't cover, it was assist!

As soon as Zhang Xinjie saw the three's formation, he understood in his heart. Lord Grim and Soft Mist also stopped and turned back to rush toward Desert Dust and Dark Forest.

Tyranny had been led in by Happy after all. However, this couldn't be called a trap. It could only be said that Happy had occupied a relatively advantageous terrain and established a relatively solid attacking formation. Ye Xiu and Tang Rou's timing for turning back was also very accurate. With the stickiness of these two melee classes, Tyranny, who had already rushed into this area, would probably face even greater risks if they wanted to withdraw.

It seemed that the decisive battle could only be fought here!

Ye Xiu was indeed not simple. Under such a disadvantage of being chased all the way, he had ultimately managed to create a slightly favorable situation for them.

But, was that enough?

With the disadvantage in kills, and with being chased all the way without any chance to catch a breath and recover, would it be that easy to raise their health during the battle?

Zhang Xinjie accurately identified Happy's two biggest weaknesses and ruthlessly deployed to target them.

All-out attack!

It was an all-out attack.

Tyranny was best at all-out attacks, and it was perfect for an all-out attack now. The target was Lord Grim. Charge!

The four focused their fire, all aimed at Lord Grim.

"Too ruthless!" Ye Xiu shouted in the chat. Lord Grim turned and ran.

Zhang Xinjie wasn't surprised. There was no reason for Ye Xiu to choose to fight head-on here. He could see Happy's tactical purpose. Ye Xiu and Tang Rou's main task was to contain and delay. The real damage would be created by the two players at the top. This wasn't an offensive battle, it was a war of attrition.

It was a pity that the two people Happy had left were Ye Xiu and Tang Rou. If it wasn't Tang Rou, if it was Fang Rui, Happy would be in a more advantageous situation right now. Fang Rui's sneakiness was best suited for containment and delay. Tang Rou's style, when containing opponents, would often trap herself in it as well, a mode of mutual restraint.

All of these had to be used well!

Zhang Xinjie analyzed Happy's situation from all aspects, making the most stable and confident adjustments at any time. Tyranny's offensive suddenly turned and folded back to Soft Mist.

"You guys are really doing whatever is most convenient!" Ye Xiu shouted in the chat again. Lord Grim, having just dodged the offensive, turned around and charged back.

"Advance to 1 o'clock!" Zhang Xinjie instructed.

Su Mucheng and the other two's positions were excellent. In a fixed formation, they almost avoided all blind spots. However, while they had no blind spots individually, there would be blind spots in overall coordination. The 1 o'clock direction was exactly where Zhang Xinjie had found the flaw.

The entire army pressed on, but Tang Rou's final choice didn't satisfy Zhang Xinjie's intention. With two consecutive jumps, her character actually leaped onto what could be called the second level of this area.

"Pincer attack." Zhang Xinjie was unmoved. How could he ignore the terrain's levels? This change was within his expectations. The second level? Space on the second level was limited, and the choices would suddenly become very restricted, making it easier to be blocked off. Tang Rou's choice exposed her lack of experience as a newbie. Ye Xiu obviously realized that things were not good. Lord Grim quickly came to support, but the simple space on the second level allowed Tyranny to quickly complete the encirclement.

"Be careful of ranged attacks." Zhang Xinjie reminded. Dancing Rain's firepower could still take care of this place.

The two veterans who rushed to the second level from Tyranny didn't need this reminder. They could also see the situation clearly and knew where Happy's main attack point was.

*Hong hong hong*, artillery fire fell. Tang Rou took advantage of the chaos to leave. Soft Mist used Hao Long Po Jun!

Dodge!

This skill had to be dodged no matter what. Soft Mist charged out, missed her target, and her spear crashed into a tree.

Zhang Xinjie had been frowning a long time ago. Hao Long Po Jun was unstoppable. It could break through in any direction, but the direction Tang Rou had chosen was too foolish, wasn't it?

As a result, at the moment Hao Long Po Jun crashed into that tree, with a loud bang, this entire section of the second level, which was hanging on the tree, suddenly collapsed.
