The scene erupted in enthusiastic cheers and applause. This was Wu Qi's sudden seizing of a kill opportunity, how could the Samsara fans not be excited? They wouldn't delve too deeply into the specifics, just this outcome alone was enough to make them thrilled and satisfied.

The pro players, however, all showed surprised expressions.

They had the God's-eye view, after all. Everyone on the field's actions were in their sight. Did Wu Qi's Cruel Silence have any particularly outstanding actions?

No.

No one had that feeling.

Although there was such a character active on the field, everyone was paying attention to Zhou Zekai's One Autumn Leaf, then to Jiang Botao's Empty Waves, then to Du Ming's Cloud Piercer, this series of target switches.

Cruel Silence was active, but just like Qiao Yifan hadn't felt his threat, the pro players outside the arena, watching from the God's-eye perspective, hadn't even noticed.

Was the threat nonexistent?

The answer was, of course, no. The current situation was the best proof. Cruel Silence had directly killed his way behind One Inch Ash. Successive back attacks, perfect output opportunities. If this didn't count as a threat, what did?

The threat existed, but no one had noticed it.

An inconspicuous assassin was precisely the most perfect assassin.

But was Wu Qi an insignificant player? To be honest, not many people would think that. As a key member of two championship-winning teams, it was impossible to ignore him. But within Samsara's lineup, Zhou Zekai, Jiang Botao, Sun Xiang, and Lu Boyuan, four All-Stars, amidst such star power, although Wu Qi also had decent popularity, he was still much dimmer.

He wasn't an insignificant player, but in Samsara's lineup, he was inconspicuous.

He hadn't been without threat just now, but Samsara's other players' continuous, relentless offensive had masked his threat.

He didn't act as actively as the others, but he also didn't deliberately hide his tracks. He found a just-right rhythm, making Cruel Silence seem non-threatening in this intense, tense battle situation.

And then, he succeeded!

From the beginning, Happy's healer hadn't really taken on proper healing duties. Happy's characters' health was depleted bit by bit. Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash had been closely guarded by Zhou Zekai for a long time, and his health had already been somewhat depleted. Now that Wu Qi had successfully gotten close, under his merciless back attacks, his health instantly fell below fifty percent.

Qiao Yifan recalled what Wang Jiexi had said. Wu Qi seemed to possess the kind of talent that the former senior had mentioned. Because he was sure that he really hadn't ignored Wu Qi, he really had noticed Cruel Silence, but… he hadn't realized Cruel Silence's threat. Or rather, Cruel Silence's threat hadn't aroused enough of his attention. He felt that the threats from other Samsara players should be dealt with first.

Back then, did Tiny Herb hope that he would grow into such an assassin player?

Qiao Yifan didn't know the answer to this question, nor did he have too many feelings about it. Now he had completely transformed into a ghostblade, and he was very comfortable with this class. Assassin was in the past for him. He hadn't abandoned what he had learned back then, but that didn't mean he wanted to go back.

Perhaps he really had missed something at Tiny Herb, but he wouldn't regret it. He would only cherish the present even more.

Everything before him had been hard-earned, he was very satisfied with everything before him, and he needed to protect everything before him with all his strength.

One Inch Ash rolled and jumped.

Change direction, sudden stop, sprint...

Qiao Yifan used all his movement skills, but Wu Qi was like a maggot on a bone, always able to keep Cruel Silence stuck behind him, never abandoning him.

The closest to One Inch Ash was Tang Rou.

Just now, she had forcefully stopped the two Samsara players with a two-on-one, helping Qiao Yifan create an opening. But in the blink of an eye, it had turned into her being held back by the two Samsara players. She wanted to support One Inch Ash, but couldn't break free for the time being.

Cross, switch!

Sun Xiang and Du Ming switched positions in a coordinated move, wanting to completely hand over Soft Mist to Du Ming, while his One Autumn Leaf wanted to switch to pinch One Inch Ash, trying to kill him as soon as possible.

But Tang Rou was already more frustrated that she couldn't get rid of the two of them, so how could she tolerate her opponent getting rid of her?

Welcoming the Wind with a Blade, ignore!

Fire Dance Skyfall was raised, and Tang Rou forced Soft Mist to take this hit from Cloud Piercer head-on, and didn't let Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf pass.

One Autumn Leaf was forced back, but Soft Mist, who had taken this Welcoming the Wind with a Blade head-on, also staggered and fell out. But Du Ming clearly hadn't realized that Tang Rou would be so strong that she wouldn't even bother with this attack, and his follow-up moves were slightly hesitant.

As a result, Tang Rou used the distance sent by forcefully taking this attack, and swayed and staggered towards One Inch Ash's side.

Don't even think about it!

For Samsara, at this time, just letting Qiao Yifan and Wu Qi duel was also a situation in which Wu Qi had a complete advantage. There was no need to rush to attack together. Intercepting Happy's support was definitely the priority.

Hundred Dragon Meteor Strike!

One Autumn Leaf sprinted all the way, and Evil Annihilation stabbed out a trail of afterimages all the way. The chosen angle was just right to intercept Soft Mist.

Boom boom boom!

The sound of cannons rang out, and Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain's ranged support arrived. But at this time, there were really too many scenes that needed her support. Qiao Yifan was certainly strained, but Tang Rou was also a little out of sorts because she was anxious to support Qiao Yifan.

As the saying goes, pulling one hair moves the whole body. In team competitions, it often happens that one person falls into passivity, and then the whole team falls into passivity. To grasp the balance of this situation requires considerable experience. Tang Rou was obviously lacking in this area, and her sense of proportion was not well grasped. Once she became anxious and tough, she immediately fell into passivity herself.

Su Mucheng's support was more experienced than Tang Rou's.

She didn't let Dancing Rain bombard the entire center of the problem, One Inch Ash. Instead, she focused her firepower on the trouble that Tang Rou was also facing.

If she could help Tang Rou grab an opening, then Tang Rou would naturally be able to complete her support of Qiao Yifan. Moreover, Sun Xiang and Du Ming had clearly constructed a defensive line in the process of intercepting Tang Rou. Not only Tang Rou, but also Ye Xiu and Baozi, if they tried to support Qiao Yifan, they would have to break through this line first. Su Mucheng's focus on attacking here could be said to be quite comprehensive in value.

As for Qiao Yifan, she hadn't completely ignored him either. While focusing her firepower on Dancing Rain's side, she also suddenly interspersed two attacks to sneak attack Cruel Silence. She also wanted to try to interfere with Wu Qi's rhythm to see if she could help Qiao Yifan grab any openings.

The explosions immediately erupted in a continuous stream, but although the firepower of a Launcher was fierce, its control was somewhat lacking. Toughness wasn't just the specialty of character players like Tang Rou. Samsara's Du Ming replicated this toughness at this moment.

Phantom Invisible Sword!

Cloud Piercer used this level 70 ultimate. The crisscrossing sword lights collided fiercely with the incoming artillery fire.
