Hu Die Lan

Chapter 471 Unconventional Methods

The ninja blade transformed into a flame, roaring down. Even though his opponent had called out the skill early on, Huituren Bu Juan was clearly confident in his own control. The hand seals were fast, and the blade was fast, so what if the opponent saw through it?

So what?

A flash of cold light!

A brief and swift, fleeting flash of cold light.

The place where the Fire Flame Slash was falling was now an empty space. Jun Moxiao, who had been standing there just a moment ago, had vanished without a trace.

Huituren Bu Juan's heart tightened, and his body quickly turned to the right. The Fire Flame Slash that had already been cleaved out actually turned abruptly as well, changing from a straight cleave to a horizontal slash. Flames blazed around Huituren Bu Juan.

The process was complicated, but it was really fast. If it weren't fast, the flames of the Fire Flame Slash would have already died out, making it impossible to continue so many movements.

However, this slash ultimately missed. Huituren Bu Juan, who had turned around, saw Jun Moxiao make a swift backflip, barely avoiding the horizontal Fire Flame Slash.

The skill ended, and the flames quickly died out, but neither of them moved. Chen Guo's Zhu Yanxia also rushed over, and when she saw the two facing off, she didn't dare to attack rashly. She turned her head to look at Ye Xiu beside her and found that Ye Xiu's expression was more solemn than ever before. She had really never seen such an expression on Ye Xiu's face before. All along, this person had handled every aspect of Glory with such nonchalance. But what about today? This scavenger had actually put so much pressure on him?

Chen Guo clearly remembered that even when she was dueling Huang Shaotian in the arena a few nights ago, Ye Xiu's expression hadn't been so serious.

Chen Guo didn't dare to make a sound. Zhu Yanxia quietly stood to the side, silently staring at the two of them.

"If I didn't have so much stuff on me, you wouldn't be able to dodge." Huituren Bu Juan suddenly spoke, his enunciation stiff, as if he didn't know how to speak very well.

"If I didn't know you had so much stuff on you, I wouldn't have done this." Ye Xiu smiled.

"More talk is useless!" Huituren Bu Juan suddenly said again, and then he swiftly slashed out with his blade again. This time, he didn't use any skills, just a normal slash.

Ye Xiu was already prepared, and he immediately controlled Jun Moxiao to dodge sideways. He also cleaved out with a sword at the same time, also without using any skills, just a normal attack.

In an instant, the two of them exchanged blows, engaging in a fierce battle. As if they had a tacit understanding, both of them only used normal attacks and didn't use any skills. Normal attacks didn't have any exaggerated sword energy or special effects, but because both of them were controlling their characters extremely quickly, the two characters were surrounded by a flurry of blades and swords.

Chen Guo was filled with horror. This was the first time she had ever seen such a PK. Not only were the two of them fast with their blades, but their movements were also extremely fast. The two figures constantly changed positions. Fortunately, the colors of the two characters' equipment were completely different; otherwise, Chen Guo was really afraid that she wouldn't be able to tell which was which.

Huituren Bu Juan's equipment was drab and gray, clearly not high-end goods. Speaking of which, scavengers rarely ran out to scavenge in a full set of top-quality equipment. This work was already hated by people, and the risks were extremely high. Nine out of ten ended up lying down. Wearing a full set of top-quality equipment could increase the chances of survival, but if they died, they might suffer a greater loss.

However, although Huituren Bu Juan's equipment was simple, at least it was uniform. Looking at Ye Xiu's Jun Moxiao, Chen Guo felt like crying. Also transformed into a figure, Jun Moxiao's outfit was colorful and gaudy, like a piece of shattered stained glass flowing there, so gorgeous that it made people want to vomit, truly lacking any killing intent.

The outfit was indeed terrible, but Chen Guo was very confident in Ye Xiu's skills. However, the two groups of figures were moving too fast, and Chen Guo couldn't quite see the situation clearly. But she had her own way. As long as she looked at Ye Xiu's screen, which showed Jun Moxiao's health bar, and Huituren Bu Juan's health bar would appear when he was attacked, she could use that to judge the advantages and disadvantages of the situation, wouldn't that be more accurate?

But after Chen Guo paid attention to it many times, she was shocked to discover that both of their health bars were decreasing extremely slowly. This meant that the intense battle they were watching, which seemed like a dazzling display of skill, was actually doing very little damage, and it was difficult for them to accurately hit each other.

Moreover, the two of them were fighting while moving in a certain direction. In just a short while, they had already walked a section along this street, and Chen Guo had to follow closely behind. She wanted to attack, but the way they were fighting made her feel like she had no way to intervene.

"Hey, do you need any help?" Chen Guo couldn't help but finally ask Ye Xiu.

As if this sentence started a turning point, the two figures fighting in a group suddenly separated, passing each other. Huituren Bu Juan turned around rapidly and dropped down, quickly forming a hand seal in front of his chest. His movements were so fast that it was dazzling. Anyway, with Chen Guo's level, she couldn't see what skill Huituren Bu Juan was about to use at all.

Huituren Bu Juan quickly formed a hand seal and then slashed out with his blade again. This time, the ninja blade leaving its sheath was no longer a flame, but a stream of water with rolling waves. As soon as it left its sheath, it immediately split into several small streams, scattering and sweeping towards Jun Moxiao.

At this point, Chen Guo had of course recognized it. This was another skill of the ninja: Bairiu Zhan (Hundred Streams Slash).

This skill was named after a slash, but it was actually a crowd control skill with extremely low damage. These rapidly rolling streams of water chased after Jun Moxiao and immediately rose from the ground, gathering in the air, wanting to condense into a water prison to imprison Jun Moxiao.

Chen Guo reacted in an instant!

In fact, these two weren't in a PK. Huituren Bu Juan was still focused on trying to escape from the battle, but Ye Xiu was缠住 (chanzhu - entangling) him and wouldn't let him go. At this time, he seized an opportunity and used a Bairiu Zhan. The water prison formed by this Bairiu Zhan lasted for a full half a minute at max level. Internal destruction was ineffective, and all movement-type skills were sealed. In other words, if no one broke it from the outside, then the trapped character could only stare blankly for half a minute.

Chen Guo was now outside the water prison, but the water prison couldn't be broken with just a few attacks. By the time she broke the water prison, Huituren Bu Juan would have run off without a trace. Entangle Huituren Bu Juan while attacking the water prison at the same time? Chen Guo herself was sweating. She had no confidence in entangling Huituren Bu Juan, let alone multitasking.

But no matter what, she couldn't just be a spectator at this time.

Chen Guo gritted her teeth and fired a cannon at Huituren Bu Juan anyway. To be honest, melee classes were better at controlling the field and preventing opponents from escaping than ranged classes. Chen Guo's level was already inferior to Huituren Bu Juan, and now she was using a Launcher, a class that wasn't suitable for this task. Chen Guo really wasn't optimistic at all.

This guy was running, and there was no stopping him, but what if he didn't run?

A thought suddenly flashed through Chen Guo's mind, and without thinking it through, she immediately blurted out a provocation: "If you have the ability, don't run!!"

"It's okay! I can't run anyway."

The one who answered Chen Guo wasn't Huituren Bu Juan's voice at all. Chen Guo was slightly stunned and saw that the shattered stained glass figure had already rushed towards Huituren Bu Juan. And at this time, Chen Guo's attack operation to intercept the taunt hadn't been completed yet!

"Huh?" Chen Guo muttered in confusion and twisted her perspective to take a look. The water prison made by Bairiu Zhan was completely solidified there, but there was no one inside. Obviously, Ye Xiu had avoided the imprisonment of the water prison.

Ah! There was also this possibility...

Chen Guo thought, but she was very confused. Why did she seem so certain that Jun Moxiao would definitely be trapped by the water prison of Bairiu Zhan?

This question was actually asked by someone else for her.

"Impossible!" She heard Huituren Bu Juan's dry voice shout.

"What's impossible?" Ye Xiu replied.

"How did you know I would use Bairiu Zhan!?" Huituren Bu Juan said.

Chen Guo suddenly understood.

Why did she think Ye Xiu couldn't avoid that Bairiu Zhan? Because the way Huituren Bu Juan used that Bairiu Zhan at that time could be said to have brought the ninja's expertise in unexpected attacks to the extreme.

After experiencing that Fire Flame Slash, Huituren Bu Juan obviously knew that the opponent in front of him was experienced. Although a ninja's hand seals could be much faster than a mage's chanting, a hand seal that was seen through by the opponent was equivalent to losing the initiative, and the hit rate of the skill would be greatly affected. So he chose such a time, in a moment of passing each other, he quickly turned around and fell down, completing the hand seal and casting of Bairiu Zhan. Jun Moxiao had his back to him the entire time, so it was impossible for him to see Huituren Bu Juan's hand seal technique. And the hand seal didn't have any sound effects, so it was impossible to make a judgment based on hearing.

It was this kind of situation that made Chen Guo subconsciously feel that this Bairiu Zhan would definitely hit, and she began to think about the follow-up. As a result, Jun Moxiao wasn't trapped by the water prison, which Huituren Bu Juan of course couldn't understand at all.

Chen Guo, on the other hand, quickly understood.

Who was this? The Glory encyclopedia, the battle-hardened Ye Qiu, some things ordinary players needed to look up, but for Ye Qiu, he could figure it out with his toes. So what if your control was fast? The key was that your thinking was completely within the opponent's calculations, so even if your control was fast, it was already anticipated by the opponent, and fast became slow.

"Hehe, your level is not low, so of course I have to use some unconventional methods."

As a result, Chen Guo heard Ye Xiu answer the other party in this way.

Unconventional methods?

Chen Guo was puzzled, and at this time, Ye Xiu had once again controlled Jun Moxiao and entangled with Huituren Bu Juan.

"Unconventional methods? What are those?" Huituren Bu Juan shouted.

Ye Xiu just returned a smiling emoticon, which, translated, meant smiling without saying a word.

Unconventional methods, what were those? Chen Guo was also super curious, but seeing that the two were fighting together again, she didn't dare to ask. However, she began to pay attention to whether Ye Xiu had any special actions.

Then, she quickly discovered it.

"Damn! You're too shameless!! You're actually peeking at my screen!!" Chen Guo jumped up and shouted.

This Ye Xiu, when his Jun Moxiao's perspective couldn't conveniently capture Huituren Bu Juan, actually immediately turned his head to look at Chen Guo's Zhu Yanxia's spectator perspective. Then, he operated smoothly, without any shame at all.
