Hu Die Lan
Chapter 497 Powerful Enemy!
“Slow down!” Zhan Loulan rushed up, physically squeezing him to the back. They had repeatedly emphasized how strong the opponent was and to be careful, but this Qianfang Gehai didn't take it to heart at all, and instead got more and more excited. Zhan Loulan understood this guy's personality, so he was a little annoyed, but also very helpless.
"Let them charge, we'll just stand here and save some stamina," Ye Xiu said with a smile.
"Xiao Bei, Ye Xi." Zhan Loulan called out twice. Two characters stood to the side. These three were all melee classes. Under normal circumstances, the formation would have the melee classes in front.
Qianfang Gehai had no choice but to wait obediently, but the staff in his hand kept fidgeting. Ye Xiu saw it from the side and knew that it was the movements caused by this guy's constant manipulation. It seemed that he couldn't wait to launch an attack.
Ye Xiu smiled. Although he would have a longer attack range if he acted as a gunner, seeing Qianfang Gehai's impatient look, he should leave the first strike to him... Ye Xiu was afraid that if he fired a shot first, this guy wouldn't be able to hold back and waste a skill, or rush out again.
"Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire! Xiao Bei, jump!" Ye Xiu suddenly spoke as the distance closed.
"Here it comes!" Qianfang Gehai shouted, and the staff he had been fiddling with was finally raised suddenly. If a newbie were to look at it, they might think that casting the spell at this time was a bit premature. However, Qianfang Gehai was an expert and knew that Ye Xiu's command took into full consideration the opponent's speed and his own spellcasting chant. Starting the operation now was just right.
"Jump?" Xiao Bei asked in confusion, but fortunately he jumped while being confused. It didn't delay him.
"Block the staff," Ye Xiu smiled.
"Sweat..." Xiao Bei didn't expect this reason. His position was in front of Qianfang Gehai. The position the staff pointed to when Qianfang Gehai cast a spell was where the spell would land. Experienced players could accurately judge the position of the spell attack by observing. Ye Xiu had him jump to block the staff, which was to avoid being seen by the opponent to make a judgment, or even to simply block the mage's action, so that the opponent didn't know they were attacking.
Boom!
A muffled thunder sounded in the sky first. Every time a cloud rolled out, a bolt of lightning would fall. Red light rose from the ground, so bright that the earth seemed to become transparent. Then came the sound of "bang, bang, bang," like opening beer bottles. The red earth and rocks flew, and flames burst out.
The elemental mage's level 70 skill, Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire, was a spell that possessed both light and fire damage.
The street instantly transformed into a network of light and fire. From the outside, it looked impenetrable. If the people inside weren't dead, it would be a disservice to this flamboyant light and shadow effect.
Ye Xiu didn't give any other commands, just stared at the area where the skill was released. In this area where light and fire were mixed together, the figures were blurred, but they were still rushing out at extremely high speed.
"Looking for death!" Qianfang Gehai exclaimed.
Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire was a continuous skill. Lightning and fire randomly erupted within the area. Each time you were hit, you would take damage. Therefore, if you were caught in this skill, standing still might result in less damage than rushing out. If you were an experienced player, you would usually wait for the skill to end without moving. Qianfang Gehai was naturally surprised that the opponent's figure was still rushing out.
In the blink of an eye, a figure rushed out of the light and fire. And this person didn't even have a trace of black smoke on his body. Qianfang Gehai opened his mouth wide in surprise. Just like being cut by a knife or shot by a bullet would cause bleeding, being hit by a spell would also have some effect. But this person was completely unscathed, which meant that this person wasn't hit by Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire at all.
"How is that possible?" Qianfang Gehai wondered. This person clearly rushed out directly from Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire, and the Battle Mage didn't have a teleport skill. At most, they could step on a non-attribute magical shuffle, which would make their movement faster.
The Battle Mage in front of him was fully armed. The feet, arms, hands, spear tip, and spear shaft each had five colors of magical fluctuations: white, red, yellow, blue, and purple. He had clearly added all five magical shuffle states to his body. Now, he had broken through Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire alone, and his desire to fight was no less than Qianfang Gehai's.
"You need to practice manually controlling the Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire skill," Ye Xiu said at this time, not showing the same surprise as others at the sudden appearance of the Battle Mage. Instead, he took the opportunity to give Qianfang Gehai a lesson.
"Ah?" Qianfang Gehai was stunned. Manually controlling Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire meant manually controlling the attack position of the heavenly lightning and earthly fire after the skill was released. However, the system's automatic release of this skill was already powerful enough. Most mages preferred to throw a few more skills into it to increase the damage. Qianfang Gehai had always felt that this was more cost-effective. It seemed that there were fewer people in the professional circle who manually used this skill.
In the time it took to say this short sentence, the Battle Mage had already rushed in front of them. The movement speed of a Battle Mage stepping on a non-attribute magical shuffle was astonishing.
The three people guarding in front, Zhan Loulan, immediately met him. Zhan Loulan greeted him with his sword, directly using a charging stab, intending to knock the Battle Mage back into the Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire. Such a simple start was impossible to hit a master under normal circumstances. But at this time, Zhan Loulan wasn't alone. To his left, Xiao Lei, also a Battle Mage, pushed out a Falling Flower Palm. To his right, Ye Xi's judoist stepped forward and slammed his fists on the ground, using Ground Shaker.
The three of them joined forces, and the attack range was greatly increased. Looking at the Battle Mage again, he didn't go left or right, but came up to meet Zhan Loulan's charging stab. However, he suddenly jumped when he got close.
This jump avoided the shockwave of the Ground Shaker. However, the charging stab wasn't a dead move. Seeing the opponent jump up, Zhan Loulan moved his mouse, and the tip of his Berserker's sword also rose, still pointing directly at the Battle Mage in the air.
"Back roll!!!" Ye Xiu shouted at this time.
"Huh?" The three people in front all asked in confusion, not knowing who he was talking to.
"Could he be talking about me?" Zhan Loulan was facing the opponent directly, so he guessed that the instruction was for him. He no longer doubted Ye Qiu, so he quickly prepared to do a back roll. However, just because he had this extra thought, he was already too late.
The opponent's battle spear pierced the air like a poisonous snake. Although Zhan Loulan's sword tip rose, he finally realized that he was a little short of hitting the opponent. The opponent's spear was long, so this thrust directly stabbed him.
With a single-armed windmill, this thrusting spear was actually a Circular Swing. Zhan Loulan was thrown out like this, like he was on a roller coaster in the air. He fell back to the ground, but couldn't recover. Circular Swing was a skill that forced the target to fall to the ground.
When Zhan Loulan was thrown to the ground, it was also when the Battle Mage jumped and landed. After pulling the battle spear back behind him, he lunged forward, but suddenly turned 180 degrees. The battle spear probed out, two points of cold light, striking left and right.
"Damn!!!" Xiao Bei was stunned. He was a Battle Mage, so he recognized this technique. This was the Double Stab from the low-level skills, which was two consecutive stabs. And now, this Battle Mage had divided these two consecutive stabs between the two of them. This required extremely high skill to do, especially since Xiao Bei and Ye Xi were standing apart! Xiao Bei couldn't imagine Double Stab being used to this extent.
With two soft sounds, this attack came suddenly, and neither of them could avoid it. Double Stab had a slight knockback effect. Now that it was divided between the two of them, the efficiency was weakened, but the two of them each retreated half a step. The Battle Mage then turned around sharply. In front of him were the four people without cover. The Battle Mage rushed forward and waved his hand, slamming a Falling Flower Palm.
Deception reacted the fastest, his body shot out like a spring. In mid-air, he folded his body and stepped on his feet, using Swallow Drop.
This skill was quick to activate, and the direction and angle of the attack could be changed at will by the operator. Deception was 100% accurate when dealing with other players.
"Boom!"
Falling Flower Palm was unleashed.
At the same time, Deception also stepped on the Battle Mage's shoulder, his Swallow Drop hit the opponent, but it didn't interrupt the opponent's Falling Flower Palm. Fortunately, it slightly slowed down the force of this palm. Qianfang Gehai, who was directly hit by this palm in front, jumped back to avoid the impact of this palm.
Deception stepped on this Battle Mage's shoulder and prepared to slide down his back directly. At the same time, the long rope of the hilt of his knife was thrown out, already preparing a Back Throw.
"Dodge!" As a result, he heard Lord Grim shout at this time. Deception was at a loss for a moment, but saw the light of the spear flash. His falling body stopped floating in mid-air. Then, a large pile of magical shuffles stirred into a ball and was all sent to him under this attack.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!
In the middle of the air, the sound of magical shuffles exploding continuously. Deception's body spun rapidly in the middle of the air like a top and was blasted out by the magical shuffles.
At this moment, there was another combination of lightning and fire in front. The other party's elemental mage actually used Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire as well. The three people, Zhan Loulan, who had just been knocked away by the Battle Mage, were enveloped in this skill all at once. Several figures rushed out of Qianfang Gehai's Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire and entered their own Heavenly Lightning and Earthly Fire again.
Everything was blurred in the light and shadow of the lightning and fire. The sound of thunder almost covered up the sound of the attack. But quickly, three figures were seen flying out. Zhan Loulan and the others were blasted out of the formation by the opponent.
Zhan Loulan and Ye Xi performed a recovery operation and half-squatted on the ground. Xiao Bei fell to Lord Grim's feet with a faceplant. Obviously, the opponent used a forced knockdown skill that couldn't be recovered from.
Then a small ball that seemed to be condensed from electric light, crackling, floated out. Everyone was surprised to see it.
