Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1494 A New Despicable Duo
Surrounded by Huang Shaotian and Lu Hanwen's dual swordsmen, he could still find the time to facilitate Happy's plan at the most critical moment. So-called core players, core performances, were probably nothing more than this, right?
If the previous brilliant response to the Phantom Invisible Sword was just an ordinary dodge, this time, Yu Wenzhou couldn't lightly say it was just a hit.
Even ordinary players could see how crucial it was for Blue Rain to send away the Soul Speaker at this moment.
Watching the Soul Speaker helplessly fall towards the wind zone, Blue Rain fans couldn't help but want to reach out and support him.
No one could stop it anymore.
A wave of despairing sighs swept through the venue.
For Blue Rain, this would lead to not only the loss of this battle, but the loss of their entire season. For a powerhouse team like them, entering the playoffs was not even worth mentioning. Their goal was, and always would be, the championship. Any season where they didn't win would be a heartbreaking disappointment.
And now, they were about to fall at the threshold of the quarter-finals in the playoffs?
The match hadn't ended yet, but Blue Rain fans had already become pessimistic in that instant.
Because there really was no one who could stop it.
Yes, no one.
But, there was wind.
The Soul Speaker was flying into the wind zone against the wind, and the resistance slowed his descent.
An opportunity!
Countless people were shouting in their hearts.
But in fact, they didn't know if this was really an opportunity. They just noticed that the situation suddenly differed from what they expected, and so they felt it was an opportunity.
It really was an opportunity.
However, unlike the audience who thought it was an opportunity simply because of an accident, the Blue Rain players on the field had already foreseen this possibility.
Swoksaar raised his staff.
Boom, boom, boom. Mu Yu Orange Wind's artillery shells arrived in time. At this crucial moment, Su Mucheng wouldn't miss every moment.
Boom!
The smoke of the explosion billowed up, but Swoksaar's staff, the Curse of Destruction, was still flashing with a dark purple light.
The incantation wasn't interrupted, meaning Mu Yu Orange Wind's attack hadn't hit.
The figure that ultimately emerged from the rolling smoke was Yu Night Rain standing tall.
Using one's body to block an attack was the dumbest method. Perhaps because this method was so stupid, people often overlooked this possibility.
But Huang Shaotian just happened to make a stupid move at this most crucial moment. He abandoned Ye Xiu, and suddenly had Yu Night Rain flash to Swoksaar's side, helping him withstand this attack.
Ye Xiu's reaction wasn't slow either. The moment Yu Night Rain suddenly jumped away, he realized what was happening.
He didn't try to stop Yu Night Rain. Instead, he immediately had Lord Grim launch an attack on Swoksaar.
But, it was too late.
The moment Lord Grim made his move, Ye Xiu already knew it was too late.
Huang Shaotian was a guy who didn't give others half a chance when he seized an opportunity. When Ye Xiu saw Yu Night Rain move, it was too late to judge and react.
Yu Night Rain was blasted away, and Swoksaar was also hit by Lord Grim's attack, but his incantation was finally sent out.
Six-Star Light Prison!
Swoksaar unleashed this very spell.
Lock down Flowing Cloud? Lock down Steamed Bun Invasion?
The two charging characters both seemed likely to continue the kidnapping of the Soul Speaker, to carry out the cause that had failed due to the wind resistance. Which of these two did Yu Wenzhou want Swoksaar to use the Six-Star Light Prison to lock down?
Neither!
Six light pillars rose, and the sealing runes of a six-pointed star appeared on the ground. The Six-Star Light Prison locked up the Soul Speaker, Blue Rain's own guardian angel, the Soul Speaker.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but then they suddenly understood.
Six-Star Light Prison, seals everything, has no damage, but also cannot be destroyed.
There was only one way to remove the Six-Star Light Prison: when the time was up and it disappeared on its own. Other than that, even if the caster died, the Six-Star Light Prison would still exist.
This was the major difference between warlocks and mages.
Mages used their chanting and mana to create magic. When a mage died, the magic they created would naturally disappear. But warlocks consumed their mana to achieve a kind of contract. Even if they died, the contract was still there, and the spell they cast would continue to be executed according to the contract.
The Six-Star Light Prison locked down the Soul Speaker, but this wasn't a seal, but protection.
Sea Conqueror and Steamed Bun Invasion could attack the Soul Speaker, but no matter what, they couldn't send the Soul Speaker into the wind zone again. They could only stay at the edge of it, waiting for Blue Rain to come to their rescue for 10 seconds.
Ten seconds, the duration of Swoksaar's Six-Star Light Prison.
"Well done!" Zheng Xuan, whose morale had been greatly affected by Ye Xiu's interference with his attack, suddenly became energetic again. Gun Rain poured down, ready to go again, but he saw Sea Conqueror neither dodging nor letting up, as if he hadn't seen the Six-Star Light Prison, and crashed straight into it.
Contact!
Sea Conqueror touched the Six-Star Light Prison. It seemed that the light pillars seeped into his body, and the next second, Sea Conqueror was forcibly dragged into the Six-Star Light Prison, standing extremely close to the Soul Speaker.
Without hesitation, the Soul Speaker was immediately knocked to the ground by Fang Rui's Sea Conqueror.
Following closely behind, Steamed Bun's Steamed Bun Invasion also crashed directly into the Six-Star Light Prison, and was also locked inside, giving the Soul Speaker on the ground two kicks.
The audience was dumbfounded.
This… The former Crime Duo was Fang Rui's thief and Lin Jingyan's rogue. It was named this because of the two people's classes. A thief and a rogue, what else would they be if not criminals?
But looking at these two now, Fang Rui had changed to a Qi Master, which really had nothing to do with criminals, while Steamed Bun Invasion was still a rogue, a newbie rogue. But these two together were truly criminals to the bone. The Soul Speaker had already been thrown into the Six-Star Light Prison, but these two didn't hesitate to lock themselves in as well, continuing to punch and kick the person. It was really too rogue-like, too brutal, too criminal!
The audience interpreted it this way, but to Blue Rain's professional players, it was tactical.
Sea Conqueror and Steamed Bun Invasion seemed to be walking right into the trap, but in this way, no matter how Blue Rain struggled, the moment the Six-Star Light Prison disappeared, the closest ones to the Soul Speaker were still these two guys. At that time, the initiative might still be in their hands. Did the Blue Rain team have a way to make arrangements in 10 seconds to take care of the two of them as soon as the Six-Star Light Prison disappeared? Probably not. Next to them, there was still Su Mucheng and Ye Xiu, one far and one near, adding to the chaos!
Blue Rain's players were smiling wryly. Yu Wenzhou even more so. Having these two on the team really made him feel like he couldn't explain himself clearly.
But no matter what, Blue Rain was still trying hard.
The two locked up by the Six-Star Light Prison shouldn't be thinking about dodging attacks next. In the large area of three people, Zheng Xuan's sharpshooter attack would definitely be able to blow them up together.
But, just attacking wasn't enough to drive the two away!
At this time, even throwing a concussion grenade wouldn't be able to blow the two out of the Six-Star Light Prison. All movement by both characters would ultimately be blocked by the Six-Star Light Prison.
At this time, there was nothing that could be done. The key was the moment when the Six-Star Light Prison disappeared.
Blue Rain's own players, of course, knew this time very well. But Happy's side probably knew as well. The duration of skill effects was data that couldn't be hidden.
Ten, Zheng Xuan's Gun Rain was attacking, Swoksaar was still being restricted by Mu Yu Orange Wind, Huang Shaotian and Lu Hanwen were still being intercepted by Ye Xiu;
Nine, same as above;
Eight, same again;
Seven, still the same;
Six, Blue Rain's audience couldn't sit still;
Five, another second passed;
Four, Yu Night Rain and Flowing Cloud suddenly switched positions;
Three, the two swordsmen simultaneously used Sword Shadow Steps, and suddenly there were more than a dozen figures on the field;
Two, the messy swordsman figures charged towards the Six-Star Light Prison;
One, Lord Grim, who had turned around and chased after them, caught a Flowing Cloud, the real body!
Zero, the Six-Star Light Prison disappeared. Huang Shaotian was more experienced after all. With the Sword Shadow Steps of the two swordsmen, his real body successfully broke free from Lord Grim's entanglement.
Falling Flower Slash!
Ice Rain slashed out from behind, the sword shadows colorful. At this time, if you wanted to control the target character, it was best to use a skill with a forced knockdown effect.
Qi Shield!
But the two on Happy's side weren't unprepared. Don't look at how straightforward they fought, they were always very tactical. They counted the ten seconds of the Six-Star Light Prison as clearly as Blue Rain's players, at least Fang Rui did.
So a Qi Shield was pushed out the moment the Six-Star Light Prison disappeared.
The colorful sword shadows all landed on the Qi Shield. This skill defends a smaller area, but its defensive ability is much stronger than a Qi Barrier. The Falling Flower Slash was completely neutralized by this Qi Shield.
Huang Shaotian wanted to make up for an attack, but Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had already arrived behind him. Huang Shaotian, who was too focused on this end, had relaxed a bit behind him. Just as he was staring ahead wanting to continue attacking, Yu Night Rain suddenly floated into the air.
Bang!
Following that, a Palm of Spiritual Flowers had already hit him. Yu Night Rain flew out, but immediately after, Lord Grim also flew out. Huang Shaotian was only concerned with solving the primary problem and temporarily ignored him, and he was also temporarily ignoring Lu Hanwen in order to solve Huang Shaotian.
So, while he knocked Huang Shaotian away, Lu Hanwen also knocked him away.
Just the flying of Yu Night Rain immediately interfered with Zheng Xuan. All of the various special bullets with control effects that he had saved for later were now being offered up all at once, but halfway through, Yu Night Rain flew out...
Glory had friendly fire immunity, but the attack couldn't just pass through the bodies of your own characters! Huang Shaotian had tried his best to control his character so as not to interfere, but these attacks still hit Yu Night Rain, and all of them seemed like defective products, with no effect at all, just extinguishing like that.
On this side, Lu Hanwen, controlling Flowing Cloud to send Lord Grim flying, was also very tactical in sending him flying towards Sea Conqueror and Steamed Bun Invasion. But just as Lord Grim was sent flying, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was propped over his head and transformed into a mechanical rotor, and he flew away on his own...
