Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1059 Ignoring
Excellent Era's players weren't completely helpless against this reckless playstyle, but they didn't want to waste time on Baozi Invasion. They had just begun to resolutely focus on Lord Grim as the absolute target. Suddenly switching targets now would make their previous determination a joke.
What Excellent Era's players didn't expect was that Baozi's playstyle would be so troublesome for them. This completely unpredictable attack actually limited all of them.
They couldn't just ignore it, but could this be another distraction trap from Happy?
Just as Xiao Shiqin was about to make a decision, Sun Xiang preemptively attacked.
Dealing with Baozi wasn't difficult, but the problem was that Lord Grim wasn't dead yet! In this chaotic rhythm, Sun Xiang suddenly switched targets. Ye Xiu immediately seized the opportunity, and Lord Grim took the initiative, grabbing One Autumn Leaf.
The Battle God One Autumn Leaf had become Ye Xiu's weapon…
Although it had been like this for the past ten years, this time was completely different from those ten years.
One Autumn Leaf was fiercely smashed down by Lord Grim, slamming into Fire.
Wang Ze was caught off guard. Fire and One Autumn Leaf crashed to the ground in a tangled mess. Lord Grim turned around and used Sky Strike again, aiming at the Battle Format closing in from behind him. Battle Format shook his battle lance, using Consecutive Thrust to interrupt the attack with a block, followed by a second thrust.
Consecutive Thrust Interrupted into Consecutive Thrust Technique!
The battle technique that Qiu Fei missed using a year ago was now being used by Ye Xiu in the individual competition to inflict damage on him.
In fact, Qiu Fei had also mastered this technique. He used it now, parrying Lord Grim's Sky Strike, and the second thrust came without hesitation.
After this attack, a set of combos would follow, and it would be enough to kill Lord Grim. Lord Grim didn't have much health left. This set of combos didn't need to be too complicated. Qiu Fei was absolutely confident.
It was just that the technique he used was one that left an incredibly deep impression on him, and Qiu Fei couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Thank you!"
After typing these two words in the public channel, Qiu Fei began the next attack.
As a result, Lord Grim's figure suddenly sank at this moment. Consecutive Thrust missed, and Lord Grim's outstretched hands grabbed Battle Format's waist.
"You're still far off!"
Lord Grim straightened his back and bent his waist, throwing Battle Format headfirst to the ground.
Back Throw!
In just an instant, One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format, Excellent Era's double battle mage combination, had been successively thrown to the ground by Lord Grim. It was Baozi who disrupted Excellent Era's rhythm, but it was Ye Xiu who truly broke through the situation!
They really should have eliminated him sooner! Xiao Shiqin regretted it immensely, and with helplessness, he resolutely charged forward.
"Ghost Banquet," Ye Xiu said in Happy's channel.
"Received," Qiao Yifan replied. One Inch Ash's blade flashed, and the ghost array scattered across the ground suddenly surged like ocean waves.
Ghost God's Descent!
All the power of the ghost gods was released and erupted, creating a vast expanse of light and shadow. Xiao Shiqin charged forward, but the burst of light and shadow made it impossible for him to find his target. He could only make inferences based on his memory of their positions. As a result, someone suddenly grabbed the waist of Living Extinguisher.
Xiao Shiqin lowered his view and saw Baozi Invasion crouching right in front of him.
Back Throw…
Living Extinguisher was also flipped headfirst onto the ground with a Back Throw. The smoke from the eruption of Ghost God's Descent had mostly dissipated at this point. Another of Excellent Era's players' portraits turned gray. Wang Ze and his sharpshooter, Fire, were eliminated.
Living Extinguisher quickly got up, and he saw Lord Grim, One Inch Ash, and Baozi Invasion, all three characters surrounding him, attacking him together amidst the dispersing power of the ghost gods.
Xiao Shiqin didn't retreat. His fingers tapped rapidly, and Living Extinguisher instantly summoned three mechanical devices, attacking the three in different directions. Now that the ghost arrays had all erupted, his mechanical devices finally had a stage to roam freely.
Bang bang bang!
Lord Grim aimed and pulled the trigger with incredible speed. Three consecutive gunshots were followed by three explosions.
The mechanical devices that Living Extinguisher had just summoned were instantly blown up by Ye Xiu's precise shots.
One Inch Ash's Moonlight Slash swept over in an instant. Xiao Shiqin quickly controlled Living Extinguisher to turn around and dodge. Following that, he was hit in the back of the head by a brick—Baozi Invasion's brick.
Xiao Shiqin was really going crazy.
This Baozi sometimes did things randomly, completely ignoring coordination with his teammates, but sometimes he would sneak into a dead angle and deliver a fatal blow.
Xiao Shiqin had studied every one of Happy's players. He really didn't know how to describe this Baozi, because he had never seen a player like this before. You simply didn't know what he was capable of. In the last match, he seemed very skilled at tactical cooperation, but in the next match, he would gloriously disappear from the tactical cooperation.
In Xiao Shiqin's tactical manual, the content about Baozi was written and erased, erased and written, and written and revised. It was simply because there were new discoveries in every match, and the content he saw was never the same.
In the end, only one sentence about Baozi in Xiao Shiqin's tactical manual remained unchanged: An extremely unstable player.
Yes, this was Xiao Shiqin's final positioning of Baozi. And Baozi's performance in this match was very much in line with Xiao Shiqin's positioning. But the problem was that positioning was just positioning. After positioning, how to deal with it? Xiao Shiqin had no tactical means, because this guy was impossible to predict, so he could only improvise.
In the end, at the most critical moment, they, Excellent Era, were disrupted by Baozi, and then dismantled by Ye Xiu.
And now, Xiao Shiqin himself was controlled by Baozi's brick.
Lord Grim and One Inch Ash's attacks arrived without delay, striking Living Extinguisher off balance. If Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei hadn't come to his aid in time, Xiao Shiqin really suspected that he would have been taken down in one wave.
As soon as One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format arrived, the three from Happy immediately retreated.
"Bite them!" Xiao Shiqin shouted.
After Ghost God's Descent, the field was particularly clean, making it a good time to launch an attack. Xiao Shiqin's Living Extinguisher pressed forward while carefully disrupting One Inch Ash's attacks. Summoning ghost arrays were all casting skills. Prioritizing control would make the ghost swordsman very uncomfortable.
Besides that, there was Baozi Invasion. Xiao Shiqin was now focusing almost half of his energy on this guy, absolutely not allowing him to mess up the situation again.
With Xiao Shiqin keeping an eye on two people, his goal was naturally to create opportunities for Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei. Under Xiao Shiqin's cover, One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format once again charged towards Lord Grim. Lord Grim took advantage of the Ghost God's Descent earlier to noticeably restore some health, bringing his health bar up to 8%. But facing these two from Excellent Era, this was still within the range of being taken down in one wave.
In this situation, would Ye Xiu still go up and fight these two head-on? Of course not. Lord Grim began to move around with the two of them.
Xiao Shiqin took one look and immediately felt a headache.
Kite-style play…
At the time when every second counted, Ye Xiu began to play in a kite-style. One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format were, after all, melee classes, while Lord Grim had ranged firepower. When playing in a kite-style, it definitely wouldn't be a matter of minutes for these two to catch up.
Xiao Shiqin glanced at the time and calculated slightly… it should be about time, right?
A message immediately popped up in Excellent Era's team channel.
One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format suddenly changed direction while chasing Lord Grim.
The spectators with a God's-eye view suddenly understood. These two were intercepting Happy's healer, Little Cold Hands.
Xiao Shiqin naturally knew where the substitution zones were on the map. The previous misjudgment had naturally been deleted. Then this time, this point was probably very close. Otherwise, the other points would be too far away.
This time, Xiao Shiqin wasn't wrong. This change of direction by One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format was indeed accurately aimed at Happy's Little Cold Hands. After rushing out a few steps, they had already spotted Little Cold Hands' figure.
But behind them, Happy's three characters were charging towards Xiao Shiqin's Living Extinguisher like hungry tigers.
They weren't going to rescue him?
Xiao Shiqin was surprised.
In fact, he wasn't thinking of killing the opponent's healer so easily. This was the biggest guarantee for Happy to achieve victory, and they would definitely protect him at all costs.
But in that case, Excellent Era would have successfully restrained Happy. With a target to protect, their actions would be more restricted. And during this rescue, intercepting Ye Xiu and killing Lord Grim was the main goal that Xiao Shiqin hoped to achieve. But he didn't expect that Happy would ignore the healer and focus their fire on his Living Extinguisher at this time.
An exchange?
Xiao Shiqin found it unbelievable. Although this exchange resulted in a three-on-two situation, Lord Grim had only this much health left. This wasn't a situation that his unspecialized could turn around. Three-on-two was still very risky for them, right? What were they relying on? The ghost swordsman's control? The ghost swordsman's control was powerful, but the problem was that ghost arrays also had considerable limitations. After killing Happy's healer, Excellent Era would have much more time. In this situation, strong characters like two battle mages still had ways to charge through the ghost array.
Xiao Shiqin couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't stop and give up his life for nothing. Living Extinguisher hurriedly ran away, only to immediately discover that Ye Xiu's previous kite-style play had placed his character in a perfectly kite-styled position. The route he could escape on was precisely controlled by Lord Grim.
They were prepared!
After discovering this, Xiao Shiqin felt even more uneasy. The opponent was prepared, which meant that the current situation was within their calculations. They were confident.
Just then, Xiao Shiqin suddenly saw Sun Xiang shout in the channel: "Damn, this healer runs so fast!!"
