Using the vast coverage of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella as a shield for covert actions was a common tactic for Ye Xiu after taking up Lord Grim. As his opponent in the finals, Team Samsara would have undoubtedly studied these familiar techniques of Ye Xiu.

However, research and facing reality were two different things. When they saw Lord Grim charging directly with the umbrella, Zhou Zekai immediately realized the possibility. He observed clearly, confirming that Lord Grim should still be there. Wasn't the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella still charging?

Yes, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was still charging.

Until Cloud Piercer swung his body to the side, creating a line of sight to directly attack behind the umbrella, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was still charging, but Lord Grim was indeed no longer there.

Zhou Zekai paused slightly, but quickly reacted.

Soul Guiding!

This was the Saint class Exorcist skill, Soul Guiding. Ye Xiu had Lord Grim use this skill, throwing the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella straight out, creating the illusion that he was still charging.

In theory, this was a technique that any Saint class character could use, but no one had ever used it. This was because there had never been a shield in the pro scene that could completely cover a character like the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.

Even Zhou Zekai, when facing the ever-changing skill combinations of an Unspecialized, probably couldn't completely keep up with the train of thought. Being able to realize that this was Soul Guiding so quickly was already an extraordinary ability.

Lord Grim wasn't there. Where did Lord Grim go?

Cloud Piercer's perspective rotated three hundred and sixty degrees, and he opened a skill, Wild Barrage. Bullets flew in all directions, constructing an all-encompassing firepower blockade. At this moment, Zhou Zekai adopted a defensive posture.

But in the end, he didn't find Lord Grim. He wasn't there in the three hundred and sixty degree view.

How was that possible?

In such a short moment, how far could Lord Grim run?

Shadow Clone Technique, Instant Step?

Putting aside the issue of whether there were Shadow Clones, just considering the state of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella being thrown out with Soul Guiding, Lord Grim couldn't possibly use skills outside of the Saint class. Soul Guiding wasn't discarding a weapon. Even if the weapon wasn't in hand, it was judged as being equipped. At this moment, Lord Grim was still in the Saint class. And within the Saint class, there were no teleportation-type movement skills.

So there was only one possibility!

Cloud Piercer leaped sideways in the air. Both guns twisted, pointing directly at the direction of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. And there were already changes on this end. Just as Cloud Piercer rotated his view three hundred and sixty degrees, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had quickly retracted. Lord Grim's figure appeared, and he took a step, charging towards Cloud Piercer.

Throughout the whole process, apart from Zhou Zekai, the audience could see everything clearly.

Soul Guiding, that's right. Zhou Zekai's instantaneous judgment was extremely accurate. Lord Grim had indeed used Soul Guiding after the charge to push the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella out.

After that, the Saint class indeed didn't have any teleportation-type movement skills. What Ye Xiu used wasn't a skill, but simply movement. Pure, fast movement using Stamina-consuming sprint.

The distance moved wasn't long, maybe only two or three steps, but those two or three steps happened to cause him and Cloud Piercer to exchange positions. When Cloud Piercer's gun pointed behind the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, Lord Grim sprinted in front of it.

The scene looked like children playing a game, but even ordinary players knew how terrifying it was to achieve this game at this moment.

The angle of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella pushed out by Soul Guiding, the timing of the quick step forward, and the timing of using Soul Guiding to catch the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella again, every detail was extremely important, and every detail couldn't be off by even a fraction. To accurately complete even one of these many details was already very difficult, but Ye Xiu completed every detail with extreme precision, ultimately completing this flawless positional shift and aggressive attack.

The moment Zhou Zekai realized it, he made Cloud Piercer dodge sideways without even turning his view, but it was already a bit too late. A cold light had already smeared in front of him. Lord Grim, who was using Arc Flash, was faster than Cloud Piercer's bullet at this moment.

Blood bloomed.

This Arc Flash directly slashed Cloud Piercer, and his gun was pointing in the wrong direction.

Bang bang bang bang!

The dual guns that were pointing in the wrong direction still fired. Zhou Zekai's operations were too smooth. He couldn't completely stop the inertia even if he wanted to.

But he immediately had a response to the current situation, Knee Strike!

Cloud Piercer, who was leaping sideways, struck Lord Grim with his knee. This skill had a knockback effect and could separate the two characters by a certain distance. Ye Xiu quickly made Lord Grim lean to the side, and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, split into dual swords, thrust out, and cold lights intersected.

Mistake Stab!

A low-level Assassin skill that produced different attack effects when a player used dual swords or daggers. When using dual swords, the two swords crossed, which could effectively restrict the target's movement.

But at this time, after the intersecting cold lights flashed, they were blocked.

Bang bang bang bang...

Gunfire was still spraying, flashing past Ye Xiu's view. Even after being slashed by Arc Flash, Cloud Piercer still managed to widen the distance between him and Lord Grim.

Dual guns pointing in the wrong direction?

Uncontrollable operational inertia?

Those who thought so were very wrong.

Zhou Zekai hadn't made any mistakes, nor had he lost control of any operational inertia. The dual guns were pointed at the original location of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. A miss?

Because his purpose wasn't to attack in the first place. If the previous Wild Barrage was a defensive stance, then Cloud Piercer's current sideways leap was a retreat. The gun pointed in the wrong direction wasn't intended to launch a preemptive attack, it was meant to boost the character's movement with the recoil.

Zhou Zekai was using Flying Gun movement!

Until Cloud Piercer had repositioned himself away from Lord Grim, many people hadn't reacted to this point, only thinking that Zhou Zekai had done something again. Who knew that this was Zhou Zekai's immediate response after not finding the target in a 360-degree view rotation? Now it was just the display of the result.

The distance between the two characters was only a moment of close combat, but they had already been pulled apart, but it was only a distance of three body lengths. After Lord Grim's Mistake Stab, he had already readjusted his direction. Another stab, Blink Stab!

In the match against Team Tyranny, Ye Xiu used the Assassin skill Flickering Thrust on the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, leaving a deep impression. And this time, the first crafted skill used on the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was precisely the skill often compared to Flickering Thrust: Blink Stab.

Three steps distance, reached in an instant, Blink Stab!

But this wasn't instant teleportation after all. This was a movement skill, not a teleportation skill.

No matter how fast, turning, stepping, these actions were still necessary, just the rhythm was incomparably fast.

But Zhou Zekai was even faster!

Blink Stab hadn't been able to cover these three body lengths in one go, and the dark muzzle had already aimed at his forehead.

The gun barrel was very long, the gun body was very long. This wasn't a revolver.

Gunner level 70 ultimate skill, Barrett Sniper.

A distance of three body lengths, and he actually used Barrett Sniper!

Everyone was a mess in the wind. Zhou Zekai, this guy, was completely different on and off the field. The silent and taciturn him on the field was always so flamboyant and forceful.

Bang!

The sound of the Barrett Sniper firing was deafening.
