Is using attack parry against a Gunner's ranged attacks?
For ordinary players, this is unbelievably difficult. If it happens, luck probably plays a bigger role than skill. However, in the professional realm, many people can do this, but it only happens occasionally. Usually, they only manage to parry one or two attacks.
But now, Du Ming, controlling Wu Shuang Gou Yue, is directly charging into the Gunner's heavy firepower with his ultimate?
Everyone is astonished. The chaotic situations in today's match are everywhere. Now, it's finally Du Ming's turn to show his magical style...
If it were a Sharpshooter's rapid-fire barrage, no matter how skilled someone was, they wouldn't be able to block every attack with attack parry. The character's attack speed simply couldn't match that density.
However, a Gunner's attack rhythm isn't as dense as a Sharpshooter's, giving Du Ming a chance to attempt this challenge. But while a Gunner's shots aren't as frequent, they're more powerful and have area-of-effect damage.
The exploding flames instantly engulfed Wu Shuang Gou Yue, but that was it.
These explosions should have spread out from Han Yanrou, but now, the center has shifted to Wu Shuang Gou Yue.
Wu Shuang Gou Yue's health is decreasing, but the exploding flames are being blocked here, and aren't advancing behind him.
The attack was blocked!
No matter how astonished they are, this is the reality. Although he sacrificed some health, Wu Shuang Gou Yue didn't fall, and wasn't blown away by the force of the explosion. Du Ming's judgment of the attack's判定 (panding, determination) was perfect.
With this block, Du Ming sacrificed some of his character's health, but he continued to maintain the advantageous situation for Samsara. He traded blood for blood, but he was trading for One Inch Ash's blood. One Inch Ash, suffering the continuous back attacks from 残忍静默 (Canren Jingmo, Cruel Silence), is losing health far more alarmingly than Wu Shuang Gou Yue blocking ranged artillery fire.
Adjust? Change his thinking? Or change his skills?
People who are thinking from Su Mucheng's perspective are pondering this. The TV commentators, Pan Lin and Li Yibo, are listing which of the Gunner's skills can't be parried by attack parry.
Like the Laser Cannon, or the Satellite Beam...
When talking about these settings, the two of them are extremely confident, rattling them off like they're family treasures.
But Su Mucheng didn't adjust. She's just making Mu Yu Cheng Feng advance forward. This is an action to increase firepower. She's forcefully attacking Du Ming's Wu Shuang Gou Yue.
Du Ming is forceful, and she's also forceful!
Many people are speechless. These two teams today are really going at it fiercely. This is practically a battle of wills!
There's a bit of that, but calling it a mere battle of wills is too superficial.
The tone of today's match has already been set. Whether it's the champion team Samsara, striving for a third title, or the surprising new team Happy, both teams are playing very aggressively. Even the healer, who is considered core and important in team battles, was the first to be traded out in the clash between the two teams.
This is a battle where every inch of ground is contested. Both teams are desperately fighting for the initiative. At this point, it depends on who can implement their intentions more decisively.
Su Mucheng's Mu Yu Cheng Feng is forcefully attacking, and Du Ming's Wu Shuang Gou Yue is forcefully blocking. She is being proactive, while Du Ming is being reactive.
But if she changes her strategy under this interception and readjusts, then from that moment on, she will be on the defensive.
Adaptation isn't a bad thing. Sometimes a little cunning is needed in a match. But it also depends on the situation and the circumstances. At this moment, Su Mucheng is going all the way down one path, because Samsara is pressing her hard, because Samsara is attacking fiercely. In this kind of rhythm, there's no room for adaptation. Su Mucheng doesn't have time to try this and that, wavering indecisively.
She must be resolute. She has to be resolute.
Du Ming, if you dare to block, I'll beat you to death!
How long can attack parry last? People usually don't do this against Gunners. Of course, there's a reason for that. It's because the risk is too great and the difficulty is too high. Du Ming jumping out and doing this is clearly a temporary measure. If he were dueling a Gunner, he would never say that he could parry the other's artillery fire all the way forward.
So, seeing that Su Mucheng wasn't giving way, the people who were just thinking for Su Mucheng's sake turned around and started considering Du Ming's situation.
Du Ming is also in a bit of a bind.
He was being so aggressive because he wanted to force Su Mucheng to back down, change her approach, and then respond accordingly. But Su Mucheng didn't retreat. She met the difficulty head-on, which means he's been put on the spot. Does he retreat, or does he not?
The situation on the field is interconnected. If he retreats here, artillery fire will bombard Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf, and then Tang Rou's Han Yanrou might find an opening to break through and attack Cruel Silence. After that, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash might be able to escape.
In the end, the result is just like this. This was originally a life-or-death question for One Inch Ash, but ultimately it affected everyone on the field.
Now, this question has been passed to Du Ming. His answer will affect the subsequent steps in solving the problem.
Give way?
Du Ming abandoned this answer.
In this match, no one has chosen to give way. Even An Wenyi, that weak healer, dared to entangle with Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer. Du Ming wants Happy to know that Samsara also has this kind of determination and courage.
Hold on!
The smoke and fire from the explosions continue to billow. The ultimate skill Phantom Invisible Sword has ended. Du Ming ended it early with Wu Shuang Gou Yue, because he wouldn't allow the post-attack stiffness after the final hit of the ultimate. Without the ultimate, the sword light is still bright. The shells are being fired by Mu Yu Cheng Feng, but these explosions are all being cleaved apart by Du Ming's Wu Shuang Gou Yue.
"Hold on!!!"
The Samsara fans in the audience are shouting. At this moment, countless people have actually forgotten why Du Ming is being so aggressive, forgetting that he's using attack parry against a Gunner's attacks, forgetting what point this situation is ultimately meant to affect. They're just being moved by this action, by this resolute refusal to give way, by this tenacious persistence. Happy has shown it before, and now, Samsara also has it!
Hold on! Just hold on.
At this moment, even Du Ming has somewhat forgotten why he's doing this. The constant attacks, combined with his increasingly cooling-down skill tree, are making him feel more and more difficult. He no longer has the mental energy to think about anything else.

Boom!
The countless, consecutive sounds are making people feel numb. But this time, countless hearts are being tugged, because this time, Wu Shuang Gou Yue has been knocked away.
Is it still not possible?
Although it's clear that Du Ming has done well enough, and that everything he's done can be described as unbelievable, this result inevitably leaves people feeling somewhat disappointed.
Is it not possible?
No!
Not yet.
Wu Shuang Gou Yue was knocked away, but there's still sword light flashing.
Draw Sword!
The sword light flashes, and there are two more consecutive explosions. The character was blasted away, but the attack was still blocked. Then, he landed with a fall recovery, rolled to his feet, and used Triple Slash!
Wu Shuang Gou Yue's body is still in a half-crouch, but he's already darting out.
Boom boom boom, there are three more consecutive sounds. Wu Shuang Gou Yue is once again throwing himself into the artillery fire. Once again, he has intercepted Mu Yu Cheng Feng's bombardment.
Applause, unrestrained applause. The Samsara fans want to express their feelings at this moment in more ways, but they can't. They can't think of anything else. They can only shout until their voices are hoarse and clap until their hands are swollen.
Du Ming is stubbornly blocking, and no one cares how much health Wu Shuang Gou Yue has lost. Everyone only knows that Du Ming has provided a satisfactory answer to this question. He has done something so unbelievable, so the other Samsara players can't be negligent either. Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf is firmly holding back Tang Rou's Han Yanrou, and Jiang Botao's Wulang is also entangling Baozi Invasion. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim is switching targets and changing his form quite clearly, but when any character is being followed by Cloud Piercer's shots, then no matter what they do next, it will be full of difficulties and extremely uncomfortable.
And the core of the problem, Qiao Yifan, has used all means, including the assassin skills he learned during his assassin career. But it's useless. He's being forced behind by a true assassin, an assassin who is more professional than him.
His teammates have created enough space for Wu Qi. If he lets a Ghostblade go under such close-quarters attacks, then it will be considered his dereliction of duty.
Wu Qi didn't. Cruel Silence's continuous attacks are watertight, gleefully plundering One Inch Ash's life.
