Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1569 Consolidating the Advantage
Motionless, cannon aimed directly, Su Mucheng greeted the charging Dazzling Hundred Flowers in this stance.
Whoosh!
The Hurricane Cannon erupted, emitting a sharp whistling sound. The Blazing Bullet fired in the second volley after Dazzling Hundred Flowers reloaded was caught in this Hurricane Cannon, and instantly, they were deflected.
Zhang Jiale was also greatly shocked, never expecting Su Mucheng to fight so fiercely.
Last round, she was as flamboyant as she could be; this round, she was as straightforward as possible. Su Mucheng was now a player who could accurately seize the opportunity to make firm choices. The past demeanor of overly cooperating with Ye Xiu when he was around, and feeling a bit hesitant and lost without him, had completely disappeared from her.
Flash!
Dazzling Hundred Flowers, charging straight ahead, quickly dodged sideways, but how could the power of the Hurricane Cannon be so easily avoided completely? Dazzling Hundred Flowers avoided being directly hit, but was still scraped by the rotating, projectile-like hurricane airflow, causing him to stagger immediately.
Boom!
The cannons continued to fire, and Su Mucheng clearly wasn't going to give Zhang Jiale any breathing room, with bombardments coming one after another. But Zhang Jiale wasn't someone who would be easily restricted. Although Dazzling Hundred Flowers' body was disrupted by the Hurricane Cannon, he still made precise operations amidst the swaying.
Flashbang!
A flashbang flew out, followed immediately by a gunshot. Zhang Jiale didn't even wait for the flashbang to land before detonating it in mid-air.
Blinding light instantly bloomed, and for a moment, even the audience felt that the area was completely filled with a bright white. The TV broadcast quickly switched to Su Mucheng's perspective, and the live audience also quickly looked at the electronic screen, everyone eager to know if Su Mucheng had been affected by the flashbang.
Some, but not completely.
Su Mucheng seemed to have made an attempt to avoid the flash in a hurry, but Zhang Jiale's action of directly having Dazzling Hundred Flowers fire to detonate it was too fast, so Mu Yu Chengfeng's attempt to avoid the flash wasn't completely successful. In the end, although her vision wasn't completely blinded, it was as if her eyes were a bit teary, and the scenes within her vision were a bit blurry, with the moving Dazzling Hundred Flowers even more of a chaotic blur.
Another grenade was thrown in such a situation.
What kind of grenade?
In Su Mucheng's view, what flew over was a mass of mosaics, making it impossible to distinguish what type of grenade it was.
So she simply ignored it, and continued her attack.
In the Steady Firing Stance, the character couldn't move, and of course the opponent couldn't shake Mu Yu Chengfeng's figure with attacks, so Su Mucheng simply didn't care what kind of attack it was, and responded to Zhang Jiale with an attack.
Head-on confrontation.
Extremely crude head-on confrontation.
Su Mucheng completely gave up on dodging attacks, while Zhang Jiale? Dazzling Hundred Flowers' actions weren't restricted like with Steady Firing Stance, but having charged to this distance, and with Mu Yu Chengfeng setting up Steady Firing Stance and completely ignoring his attacks, choosing to retreat would only waste health and the distance he had managed to gain.
Attack for attack, trading blood for blood. At this time, there was no other method. Su Mucheng crudely forced Zhang Jiale to engage in such a violent confrontation with her.
With the Stable Firing Stance, the Launcher's firepower was heavier, while Zhang Jiale didn't give up the advantage of Dazzling Hundred Flowers' freedom of movement. Standing still and exchanging fire with Steady Firing Stance was no different from suicide.
It looked like a head-on confrontation where neither side was willing to back down, but what would truly determine the victory of this exchange was Zhang Jiale's ability to dodge attacks. Mu Yu Chengfeng under the Stable Firing Stance had no such thing as dodging.
Bang bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom boom!
Gunshots continued, cannon fire continued, explosions continued. An exhilarating hot-weapon battle turned this small area into a scorched wasteland.
In the end, Su Mucheng lost.
This result might not be too surprising, as Mu Yu Chengfeng's health was already somewhat behind. However, a difference of 29%, which in many eyes wasn't a level that required starting to fight desperately. With such a gap, a successful combo might be able to close it.
But Su Mucheng didn't do that. After encountering her opponent, she resolutely and decisively engaged in a health-trading exchange, which wasn't very favorable for the side with less health.
She lost this match, but in terms of the overall result, she didn't lose.
Zhang Jiale's Dazzling Hundred Flowers was ultimately left with only 21% health.
71% versus 79%. Su Mucheng was slightly ahead, but placed in the context of the entire individual competition, Happy was greatly ahead. As long as they continued to exchange like this, they would be the winners of the individual competition.
After setting a trap and eliminating Lin Jingyan, Su Mucheng further widened Happy's advantage over Tyranny based on Ye Xiu's foundation. Under such an advantage, many people would inevitably want to take advantage of the situation and further seize the advantage, taking down more heads to lay a better foundation for victory. But in the individual competition, each player change could be a turning point. Especially for a team like Tyranny with rich experience and firm will, it wasn't so easy to be defeated in one fell swoop.
So, against Zhang Jiale who came on stage next, Su Mucheng didn't greedily try to further widen the gap, but instead consolidated the gap once.
A very rational attitude, a very rational choice.
The health difference didn't seem to have widened much, but in fact, as the number of available opponents decreased, even if the health difference remained the same, the advantage was being expanded.
Happy still had three players with full health; Tyranny still had two players with full health and a Dazzling Hundred Flowers with one-fifth of its health.
Who would Happy send out next?
Su Mucheng left the stage, but everyone's eyes mainly turned to the Happy player area. Deciding the starting lineup on the spot was really too suspenseful.
Mo Fan!
Mo Fan stood up in the Happy player area.
As expected!
Everyone sighed. Mo Fan was now a very stable player for Happy in the individual competition, and his style was indeed adapted to the way the individual competition was conducted.
"Good luck." Meeting him along the way, Su Mucheng smiled and said to Mo Fan.
"Okay." Mo Fan nodded, and in that simple word, there was also a bit of determination.
Soon, the fifth match began. Mo Fan, who had a character with full health, didn't choose to charge straight in at the beginning, but instead circled around the edge of the map. The audience immediately booed. Mo Fan's opponent, Zhang Jiale, only had 21% health left. Even in this situation, he didn't fight head-on, so he was inevitably despised by Tyranny fans.
But Mo Fan wouldn't care about that. In any situation, he would adopt his accustomed style of play. It was just that on this map, there weren't many places to hide. After Dazzling Hundred Flowers arrived at the center of the map and didn't find his opponent, he moved horizontally to search and quickly saw Deception, who was moving on the other side of the lava.
"This kind of detour doesn't make much sense!" TV commentator Pan Lin said.
"Well... because of the lava's division, the number of route choices that can actually be made on this map is very small. There are only a few routes in the general direction, and the field of vision is relatively open, so detouring is indeed difficult to achieve anything," Li Yibo said.
"But Mo Fan is persisting," Pan Lin said.
"Yes, he is persisting," Li Yibo nodded.
Pan Lin was speechless. He meant for Li Yibo to analyze Mo Fan's intentions, but this guy only affirmed the fact that "Mo Fan is persisting." What is he persisting for? That's what you should be saying!
Pan Lin cursed inwardly, but he also knew that Li Yibo must not be sure either, so he didn't say anything.
Deception was already exposed in Dazzling Hundred Flowers' field of vision, but he didn't come over, and still stubbornly detoured. Zhang Jiale didn't directly chase him. Dazzling Hundred Flowers also detoured a bit, but instead went around to intercept him.
Li Yibo was inspired by Zhang Jiale's response.
"Mo Fan probably wants to start the battle in the limestone area," Li Yibo said.
The limestone area was where Su Mucheng and Lin Jingyan decided the winner. The limestone formations that had accumulated there were the only area on this map with slightly more cover and obstacles. Mo Fan's intentions were the same as Lin Jingyan's. It was just that Lin Jingyan used the rules to force his opponent to come over, while Mo Fan didn't care and just rushed over there himself. What if Zhang Jiale ignored him?
This assumption was no longer valid, because Zhang Jiale didn't ignore him. Dazzling Hundred Flowers and Deception were separated by a considerable distance, but they ran in the same direction. The broadcast had already cut to a reduced bird's-eye view, simulating and indicating Zhang Jiale's intentions. He was going to have Dazzling Hundred Flowers detour to intercept him.
Fight head-on? Everyone speculated.
Fighting head-on was of course very disadvantageous for Zhang Jiale, whose character only had 21% health left. What about Mo Fan? This guy always does detours and sneak attacks, but in the eyes of many people, with his operation and skills, he was fully capable of fighting head-on. People who didn't understand the essence of Mo Fan's abilities thought that his so-called fireworks-style play was particularly superfluous. You should just go all out and burst out all the way, and always running away after hitting once was too cautious!
But even if they looked down on him, Mo Fan's style of play was quite annoying, because this guy just had the patience to rush up, retreat, and linger without attacking unless the opportunity was good. Tyranny was now behind and urgently needed to catch up, so they were of course very upset to encounter such an opponent.
"Ye Xiu is really disgusting, sending such a guy to play at this time!" Ye Xiu's hatred in the Tyranny fan group was firmly unshakable. At this moment, when they were discussing and worrying, they first despised Ye Xiu, who was sitting off the field.
Close, the two characters were getting closer and closer. Without a doubt, Dazzling Hundred Flowers could intercept Deception first. And Mo Fan could of course see the opponent intercepting him in front. He continued to have Deception rush over, was he trying to break through the interception, or was he planning to decide the victory here?
