Hu Die Lan

Chapter 253 Retreating as a Form of Advance

"Ah!!"

This time, many viewers like Jiang You finally cried out in surprise.

They didn't think Lord Grim had the strength to defeat the great god Han Wenqing. In their opinion, Han Wenqing was attacking so aggressively, pressing so hard that if it were them, they might have been punched and kicked many times already. It was already remarkable that Lord Grim could hold on for so long, and he could be considered a very strong player.

Just when Lord Grim was finally hit by Eagle Stamp, they thought the outcome would be decided next. But unexpectedly, Han Wenqing's Striker was then countered with a throw, and he was now slammed to the ground.

The damage from this throw was actually less than that of Eagle Stamp. However, while Eagle Stamp delivered three kicks, it didn't produce any reaction other than the damage to the character's data. On the other hand, skills like throws involved receiving the opponent's attack and then slamming them to the ground. From a viewing perspective, it looked much more impressive, and at first glance, it would seem like this move was extremely powerful, and the opponent was in deep trouble.

Lord Grim's throw didn't throw Han Wenqing's Striker away. Instead, he held onto him until he was finally slammed to the ground, not giving him a chance to perform a Ukemi (recovery).

"If I don't show you some colors, you'll really become too arrogant," Ye Xiu said after throwing Han Wenqing to the ground.

"As expected, it's you," Han Wenqing replied.

As opponents, they were far too familiar with each other. If he was only guessing that the Striker was Han Wenqing before, then after a few rounds of fighting, Ye Xiu could be completely sure.

On Han Wenqing's side, although the opponent didn't use the signature Battle Mage, many combat habits in his positioning, awareness, and decision-making quickly allowed him to determine that this person was indeed Ye Qiu.

The current "As expected, it's you" was said by Han Wenqing without a hint of surprise.

"Who is it, who is it, who is it??" Jiang You and the others immediately started to whisper excitedly.

They couldn't hear the voice chat during the game, but Han Wenqing was in the same room with them, so they heard the sentence "As expected, it's you" from the outside world.

Lord Grim is someone the great god knows!!

Jiang You and the others were shocked.

In the current battle, after throwing the Striker, Lord Grim didn't chase after him with any sweeping attacks. Instead, he jumped back as if waiting for Han Wenqing's Striker to get up.

The Striker, of course, immediately somersaulted back to his feet.

"Aren't they going to fight anymore?" Jiang You and the others wondered, finally remembering to check the status of the others' battles.

From beginning to end, they had been focused on the one-on-one fight between Han Wenqing and Lord Grim. But there were still eight people in a free-for-all on the other side, and they hadn't even glanced at it.

At this moment, they quickly switched their perspective over, and after one glance, they had only one feeling: tragic.

Truly tragic.

Lord Grim's teammates, the four of them, were being beaten so badly that they couldn't even find their way around. The Sharpshooter and Swordsman were now so imposing and overbearing that Jiang You was very envious.

Those who had participated in or watched the previous battle could now easily see that these four were just like Zero Zero Kill in the previous match, completely useless. They were effortlessly dealt with by Zhang Xinjie and the other three, and it was only a matter of time before they were killed.

"Who exactly is Lord Grim? What exactly does he want?" Jiang You was completely confused. Ye Du Han Tan, who wasn't with them but was also watching, was also completely confused.

When the perspective returned again, Han Wenqing and Lord Grim were already fighting together again.

But what could they do? Lord Grim was leading four useless players. Once those four were dead, they would be five against one... Don't even think that Lord Grim alone could take down five people, including Han Wenqing, Zhang Xinjie, and Bai Yanfei, three first-tier professional players. Jiang You felt that if something like that happened, his view of Glory would completely collapse.

In the one-on-one fight between Han Wenqing and Lord Grim, Han Wenqing was still attacking aggressively.

"Do you have to be so desperate?" Ye Xiu laughed, but Jiang You and the others couldn't hear him.

Han Wenqing didn't answer, just fiercely attacking.

A few exchanges later, he hit Lord Grim again.

Jiang You and the others' hearts were in their throats, fearing that Lord Grim would suddenly have some counterattack.

But there wasn't. This time, Lord Grim didn't use any techniques. He was violently beaten by Han Wenqing's Striker, spiraling in the air.

Lord Grim being beaten so badly should have been something to cheer about. But at this moment, Jiang You didn't know why, but he felt a little listless.

Han Wenqing stopped his combo in mid-air.

Lord Grim flipped and landed, without even using a Ukemi.

Although it was more difficult to perform a Ukemi in that position, it was too unlikely that Lord Grim, as a master, wouldn't do anything at all.

Lord Grim lay flat on the ground, not even getting up.

Is he already dead?

The audience wondered. But they could see the health of any character. Lord Grim was far from dead!

Everyone was puzzled, stealing glances at Han Wenqing's face. They saw that the captain's face was ashen, like the calm before a storm, causing everyone to shrink their necks involuntarily.

Han Wenqing's attack had stopped somewhat strangely earlier, and he could have continued attacking.

Just as everyone was wondering what had happened, Lord Grim finally flipped over and stood up.

"Sorry, sorry, I was away for a bit. What, am I not dead yet?" Ye Xiu said.

Jiang You and the others couldn't hear these words. But Han Wenqing had already noticed it, so his continuous attack had suddenly stopped.

Han Wenqing didn't say a word and immediately attacked again.

At this time, the eight-person free-for-all over there had come to an end. How could four useless players be a match for two professional players and two experienced online gamers? They were passively beaten from the beginning, and halfway through, two of them simply gave up. At this time, all four of them finally fell.

The four immediately rushed over and surrounded the two who were still fighting.

But they didn't order an attack on Lord Grim. Neither Han Wenqing nor Zhang Xinjie did.

The Sharpshooter and Swordsman, following the great god, were under a lot of pressure and were uneasy, not knowing what to do.

Do we need to attack? Seeing that Zhang Xinjie and Bai Yanfei weren't doing anything, they didn't dare to act rashly and just stared blankly.

Being next to the great god, they didn't dare to be negligent when dealing with two useless players. They had been fighting wholeheartedly. They didn't know what had happened in the battle between the two, and they didn't even hear their conversation.

At this time, they were staring blankly, both prepared to join the battle at any time.

But it didn't seem necessary!

Under the aggressive attacks of Han Wenqing's Striker, Lord Grim was only barely holding on, and there was no sign of being able to fight back.

Yes, that's only natural! That's the great god Han Wenqing. No matter how strong Lord Grim is, he can't be stronger than that, right? The Sharpshooter and Swordsman were thinking.

But Jiang You and the others who were watching didn't think so.

They would always think of Lord Grim's Judo throw from before. That sudden attack was accurate and swift. In just one move, it seemed to completely overshadow all of Han Wenqing's previous brilliance. But after that, Lord Grim suddenly lost his luster again, always passively taking a beating, and even died for a while. When he stood up again, he couldn't recover and was still getting beaten up.

Losing was only a matter of time.

But Jiang You and the others were still uneasy. They felt that this loss was too abnormal, too conspiratorial, too... like they were deliberately trying to lose.

Just when Lord Grim's health was running out, Han Wenqing's attack stopped again.

"What's going on? Just a little bit more. Hurry up," Ye Xiu said.

"What do you mean?" Han Wenqing said.

"Old Han, your attitude is commendable, but it's just a match..." Ye Xiu said.

"Of course, I know you always like to go all out," Ye Xiu continued. "But it's time to slow down. You should already be able to feel it yourself."

"Sorry, I only know how to move forward. I don't know how to slow down," Han Wenqing said.

"Then hurry up." Ye Xiu had Lord Grim step forward and enter the attack range of Han Wenqing's Striker.

"Those who admit defeat should withdraw themselves!" Han Wenqing said.

"Withdrawing doesn't mean admitting defeat," Ye Xiu said with a smile. Lord Grim had already decisively withdrawn, and the system announced that Tyrannical Ambition's team had won. However, although Jiang You and Ye Du Han Tan felt a little strange, this was the day they had been waiting for for so long. The joy in their hearts instantly drowned out that bit of doubt. At this time, their biggest worry was whether Lord Grim would go back on his word.

"You lost!" Ye Du Han Tan quickly sent a message.

"Yes, from now on, I won't touch any records from your guild," Ye Xiu replied.

"Hahaha, that's good. We'll still be friends in the future. Just let me know if you need anything." Ye Du Han Tan was extremely happy.

Ye Xiu simply replied with a simple and honest smile.

"Let's take down the First Line Canyon record tonight, how about it?" Ye Du Han Tan immediately turned to Jiang You to discuss.

"We're finally okay." Jiang You also breathed a sigh of relief. "Let the other guilds compete with Lord Grim if they want to. Our problem has been solved. Let's try to get along with Lord Grim as much as possible in the future. This guy seems to have some background. I'll ask the captain and the others about it later. If we can win him over, let's win him over."

"Yes, that's what I think too," Ye Du Han Tan said.

Ye Xiu, on the other hand, had already opened the friend list and messaged someone.

"Interested in the First Line Canyon record?"

"Of course... but, great god, we can only rely on ourselves for this. We can't ask you for help again," Lan He replied.

"I know that. I don't need to take action. I have a guide here. Would you like to study it?" Ye Xiu replied.
