Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1510 Borrowing Strength
Flawless!
Lord Grim was trapped, but Ye Xiu's mind was still clear. Regarding Zhang Jiale's performance at this time, he could only give such an evaluation.
Speaking of which, Ye Xiu had watched Zhang Jiale's professional career up close. From their Hundred Blossoms team honing the Berserker and Gunner partnership to create Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, to Dazzling Hundred Blossoms sweeping Glory, and then to Sun Zheping's injury retirement, Zhang Jiale gritted his teeth and went solo. Ye Xiu had been there all along, and he had fought against Zhang Jiale in every stage.
His opinion was exactly the same as Sun Zheping's. The current Zhang Jiale was the strongest. Because he had refound his position, his talent, accumulated over several years, was finally fully发挥 (fāhuī - brought into play).
He couldn't find a breakthrough, but he couldn't keep waiting like this.
Zhang Jiale wasn't setting off fireworks for Ye Xiu to watch. The bullets fired by Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, whether heavy or light, would always cause him damage. Lord Grim, trapped in an increasingly smaller space, was suffering more and more damage.
A forced breakthrough!
Lord Grim suddenly raised the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, looking like he was going to withstand the damage and escape this trapped situation. But Zhang Jiale wouldn't be so ignorant as to not think of such a simple shield defense. As soon as he saw the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella raised, he immediately had a response.
A grenade flew out, hitting the edge of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, and then, surprisingly, it bounced off and flipped over the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, suddenly appearing in Ye Xiu's field of vision.
Before he could react, the grenade exploded.
A remote-controlled grenade.
Its power was smaller than that of a low-level impact grenade, but the operator controlled the timing of the explosion, so the accuracy was naturally extremely high. At this time, it passed over the umbrella shield and exploded, dealing little damage, but it still had the necessary impact. Lord Grim was immediately pushed back.
With his body swaying, the protection of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella shield was no longer perfect. Zhang Jiale seized the opportunity, and various bullets passed through the gaps.
Boom boom boom boom!
Various exploding lights intertwined, forming a dazzling scene, the most brilliant 百花齐放 (bǎihuā qífàng - a hundred flowers blooming together) since the beginning of the match.
Lord Grim's figure was completely engulfed by the light and shadow. The only thing that could be vaguely seen was a figure still moving. Zhang Jiale didn't relax at all, continuing to control Dazzling Hundred Blossoms to throw various attacks inside, until the light and shadow were so dazzling that even the blurry figure couldn't be seen.
The offensive suddenly stopped.
Zhang Jiale discovered that Lord Grim's health was no longer decreasing.
How was this possible?
Where was there any space to dodge and take cover? It was clearly a blind spot!
The offensive stopped, the light and shadow dissipated, leaving only the residual flickering flames and smoke after the explosion. In this closed indoor space, it wouldn't be quick for the thick smoke to dissipate, but what needed to be seen could now be seen completely. The so-called dead-end wall had a hole blasted in it.
Zhang Jiale understood in an instant.
The walls on the first floor were certainly sturdy, but they were by no means indestructible. It just required more attacks. So at that time, Ye Xiu had operated Lord Grim to feign a strong attack, luring Zhang Jiale to make a powerful counterattack towards this end. With the help of Hundred Blossoms' firepower and light and shadow cover, he finally broke through the sturdy first-floor wall and escaped.
To this end, Lord Grim had endured considerable attacks. His health was only 19%, but no matter what, in a situation that everyone thought was an absolute trap, Ye Xiu had still opened up a gap.
What a troublesome guy!
Zhang Jiale couldn't remember how many times he had faced Ye Xiu in a match and felt this way.
Squeak!
The door at the other end opened.
Breaking through the wall led to the next room. Ye Xiu acted extremely quickly, immediately launching a counterattack. Zhang Jiale quickly controlled Dazzling Hundred Blossoms to turn his view and wildly fired at the doorway. When a figure appeared, it was already swallowed by the Hundred Blossoms light and shadow. However, this figure looked a bit shorter, was knocked down a bit faster, and, more importantly, Lord Grim's health remained unchanged.
Zhang Jiale had already realized things were bad and quickly turned his view again. Lord Grim had already flashed in front of him, returning through the hole in the wall. As for the goblin that had barged in through the door, it was just to distract Zhang Jiale for a moment.
A moment was enough. Lord Grim even left a figure at the entrance of the hole. He had used Shadow Avatar Technique, the fastest means of movement, to quickly complete this close-quarters attack.
Dazzling Hundred Blossoms was immediately launched into the air. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's crazy form-switching unspecialized close combat came.
Blood splattered.
Close-quarters combat was woven directly with blood.
Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' health was rapidly decreasing. He had hardly suffered any damage before. Everyone thought that Zhang Jiale could end this round with very little loss, making up for the disadvantage left by Qin Muyun's defeat.
But he failed to bite Ye Xiu to death in one wave.
Nineteen percent. He left Lord Grim with so much health, and now he was being bitten back.
Was he going to be taken away in one wave?
Everyone began to worry about Zhang Jiale.
Ye Xiu's unspecialized close combat had done this kind of thing too many times this season. Once he bit onto an opportunity, he would never let go.
Zhang Jiale was certainly very clear about this as well. Ye Xiu was undoubtedly the top priority when they researched Happy. This old opponent, who the Tyranny veterans were very familiar with, had changed to such a class, giving them a headache for a long time.
When a class changes, the playstyle will change, but a person's experience, awareness, judgment, habits, etc., will not change.
Tyranny's Han Wenqing, the opponent who had been entangled with Ye Xiu for ten years.
Zhang Jiale and Lin Jingyan were both second-generation players in the league.
The top experts in the entire Glory circle who had the most experience facing Ye Xiu and were most familiar with him just happened to be gathered in Tyranny.
If they were asked to imagine the playstyle of an unspecialized class, they would have the same difficulty. But if it was said that they were better at capturing Ye Xiu's thought process, they had more advantages than the players of other teams.
While time took some things away from them, it always left some things behind.
Did he think he could take him away in one wave?
Zhang Jiale was the only person besides Ye Xiu who had four Finals experiences. No one had seen more of those peak scenes than the two of them, and the embarrassing result of finishing second four times had always tempered his mind.
He had experienced the biggest setbacks, four times. Now, just the ups and downs in a match were simply insignificant to him.
From the first second he was launched into the air, he had been fighting back. The Dazzling Hundred Blossoms in mid-air kept throwing various grenades down. Lord Grim was like he had overturned a piggy bank, a lively scene.
The character in the air actually made such a powerful counterattack. This was something that no one had expected at the beginning. There were some effect grenades that Ye Xiu had to deal with, but for most of them, he really didn't have the extra energy to respond while maintaining his attack.
Grenades fell from the sky.
Brilliant light and shadow bloomed on the ground. Among them, Lord Grim's figure stubbornly walked.
Such a powerful counterattack didn't force him back. He was still stubbornly maintaining his offensive.
Everyone was stunned.
Han Wenqing, who never knew how to retreat, had retreated today when facing Ye Xiu. But now, it was Ye Xiu who was in such a situation, charging forward like Han Wenqing.
It was an exchange!
The professional-level players watching the match, such as Yu Wenzhou, Huang Shaotian, and Sun Zheping, could all understand it at this time.
Ye Xiu solved some grenades that would interrupt his offensive, avoided the remaining damage as much as possible, and then inflicted as much damage as possible on Dazzling Hundred Blossoms.
A clear exchange, a standard arena-style playstyle.
What he was pursuing was not the outcome of this round, but to inflict as much damage as possible on his opponent in this round to pave the way for the next player.
"Actually, he's still trying to save effort, right?" Huang Shaotian sent a message to Yu Wenzhou.
"Perhaps..." Yu Wenzhou replied.
Some viewers were expecting Zhang Jiale to break the deadlock, while others were expecting Ye Xiu to end it in one wave. But the experts all understood that this match would only end in an exchange.
In the end, Lord Grim fell. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms had 61% health left.
Victory or defeat?
In the arena, talking about personal victory and defeat always felt a bit unjustified.
Ye Xiu lost, but he took away 39% of the opponent's health, which was the lead that Happy continued to have.
Zhang Jiale won, but compared to his expectation when he had Lord Grim suppressed in the corner, there was clearly some disappointment.
The commentators Pan Lin and Li Yibo were supposed to have a little summary comment after a match, but at this time, they were rambling and hadn't gotten to the point for a long time.
This match looked so brilliant and direct, and everything was directly presented in front of everyone. But if they only said these things, both of them had a feeling that they hadn't said it clearly. But where should the key be? The two were at a loss.
Ye Xiu left the stage to a full house of applause. Everyone could accept this result, especially the final counterattack, which was quite exciting, although it was a bit of a pity that he didn't kill the opponent in one wave. But facing this kind of powerhouse, the expectation of taking out two was already a bit too high!
Who would be the next to appear?
The audience applauded while staring at the big screen, wanting to see Happy's next player as soon as possible.
Mo Fan!
The name appeared.
Mo Fan, who had been given the nickname "God Killer," now had a fairly stable seat in Happy's arena matches, and his style was considered by everyone to be suitable for arena matches.
After the name was displayed on the electronic screen, Mo Fan got up and walked towards the stage. Naturally, he brushed past Ye Xiu along the way. There was no communication, just a nod to indicate "I see you."
Pan Lin and Li Yibo didn't know how to summarize the previous match, so they quickly steered the topic to the next match.
"God Killer, facing Zhang Jiale, who has 61% health." Pan Lin said meaningfully. Although the health was unequal, if Mo Fan won, the name of another player could be added to his God Killer kill list.
