Chapter 148 Desperation

The rough back of the wooden sign was blank, but Jiang Botao fully realized what it was.

He had retreated for so long, so far. And now, having stepped into this place, could he still get out?

Wulang didn't die immediately. Just as Wei Chen had predicted, this map's scene design didn't have a "one-hit kill" element.

Fang Rui's Hailifeless Buddha had stepped into the forbidden zone, attracting NPC reinforcements to hunt him down.

And Jiang Botao's Wulang was now completely inside the forbidden zone.

In just one second, the NPCs refreshed.

In just one second, Wulang was surrounded.

In just one second, the rough back of the wooden sign disappeared from Jiang Botao's sight, replaced by the flashes of blades and swords, all sorts of attacks.

The situation was bad, but Jiang Botao didn't plan on giving up so easily. One second, NPCs refreshed, NPCs attacked; one second was also enough for an excellent pro player to make many judgments and complete many operations.

Nebula Wave Sword!

As the NPCs attacked, Jiang Botao's Wulang also attacked, holding nothing back.

Surrounded, it was the moment for the Nebula Wave Sword, this offensive and defensive ultimate, to display its might.

The power of the wave circulated, expanded, permeated, and rubbed!

Centered on Wulang, forming a hemisphere, gradually expanding.

The number of hits in Wulang's combo stats suddenly jumped wildly. At this moment, with one ultimate, he attacked an unknown number of targets simultaneously.

Very refreshing, very cool.

But no one could laugh.

Even with this ultimate, Jiang Botao had only managed to prevent Wulang from being instantly killed by the NPCs. What next? Next, he still had to face the continued entanglement of these NPCs. This one ultimate couldn't possibly clear out all the NPCs.

What's more, there was Tang Rou.

Yes, Tang Rou was still there.

One second, NPCs refreshed, NPCs attacked.

One second, Jiang Botao controlled Wulang to unleash the ultimate Nebula Wave Sword, forcefully cutting through the encirclement.

One second, Tang Rou's Soft Mist charged in...

Stop and observe?

No, not at all.

It was only because the attack that sent Wulang flying gave Soft Mist a little distance, otherwise, the one to attack first might have been her instead of the NPCs.

So in the end, Soft Mist's attack was only a second late.

The Nebula Wave Sword wasn't over yet, the power of the wave still flowing under Wulang's short sword, Heavenly Chains.

But a red figure had already flashed out, from above him.

Without retreating, without dodging, Soft Mist charged forward, Crushing Mountain River, the Battle Mage's level 75 ultimate, colliding head-on with Wulang's Nebula Wave Sword!

Boom!

Soft Mist seemed like a red meteor falling into the nebula. She couldn't avoid being hurt, but this Crushing Mountain River still shook the earth.

Jiang Botao couldn't dodge, and Wulang had nowhere to dodge.

Crushing Mountain River, the magic Battle Aura landed and charged wildly, even engulfing Wulang along with the NPCs.

Tang Rou didn't bother to calculate so much. She had let everyone see her schemes, but at this moment, what people saw was only uninhibitedness, complete and utter uninhibitedness, as if Jiang Botao's Wulang was already a dead man.

Wulang wasn't dead, but he was indeed not far from death.

The gradual consumption by Soft Mist when defending, the multiple hits from Soft Mist's attacks after losing control. And now, falling into the forbidden zone, facing the NPCs' focused fire, and then, Soft Mist's reckless, fierce attack.

Too difficult...

Forced to stagger by Crushing Mountain River, Wulang's control over the Nebula Wave Sword naturally wasn't perfect. The NPCs were fearless of death, they didn't know where the flaws in Jiang Botao's control of the Nebula Wave Sword were, they just attacked from wherever they could, regardless. Instantly, countless attacks crashed over.

Including Tang Rou's Soft Mist. After Crushing Mountain River, she had drawn some of the NPCs' aggro, but she remained focused, remained persistent, continuing to completely kill Wulang into a dead man.

Helpless…

Jiang Botao wasn't giving up, but Wulang's life, it was really gone, really used up like that. Originally, he could have broken out of this encirclement, maneuvered, even used the NPCs like Fang Rui did.

But, Tang Rou's attack was only a second late.

And this one second wasn't because of hesitation, but simply because Soft Mist needed that one second to charge over.

Tang Rou's decisiveness extinguished Jiang Botao's last hope.

One second, hard to tell who was better; but one second had already decided life and death.

Soft Mist lived, Wulang died…

Total silence.

Tang Rou won? Happy won? Was this... an Ace vs. Three?

The huge advantage that Zhou Zekai had built for Samsara with his Ace vs. Three was fiercely chased down by Fang Rui, and then Tang Rou returned the favor with another Ace vs. Three, thus completing the reversal?

Before this match, just because Happy had narrowed the gap, Samsara fans had been dissatisfied and booed their home team. And now, the gap wasn't just narrowed, they had lost. Such a big advantage, such a big difference, Fang Rui, Tang Rou, Happy, the two of them, had completed the reversal?

Samsara fans were extremely depressed, extremely upset.

As a result, a line of words jumped out in the public channel.

"Sigh, no more opponents, I still have a lot of health left..."

Soft Mist, posing in victory, with the glory of a reversal. But Tang Rou behind her was actually sighing, regretting, an Ace vs. Three wasn't enough, did she want to pick another one for an Ace vs. Four?

Too arrogant, too presumptuous!

But looking at Soft Mist's remaining health, Samsara fans felt they had no right to be angry.

Soft Mist's health was surprisingly fifty-two percent, more than half.

Defeating Lu Boyuan, a complete victory.

Defeating Du Ming, using twenty-seven percent.

Defeating Jiang Botao, using twenty-one percent.

Tang Rou not only completed an Ace vs. Three, but it was also a very high-quality Ace vs. Three. The health loss of the three defeated characters wasn't even half, using overwhelming force to describe it was not an exaggeration.

And the opponents she faced were all so strong. Du Ming's reputation was slightly worse, but he was also a main force who had contributed to Samsara's two championships. Jiang Botao and Lu Boyuan didn't need to be mentioned, they were both star players.

And then, a rookie, even if she was the Best Rookie, used less than half her health to defeat the three of them?

This level was even more formidable than their Zhou Zekai. When Zhou Zekai finished his Ace vs. Three, Cloud Piercer had forty-five percent of his health remaining, less than half, and at that time, they were all shouting Ace vs. Four...

So now, with fifty-two percent of her character's health, Tang Rou regretting that there wasn't a chance for an Ace vs. Four, was it too much?

Samsara fans were suffocated, depressed!

Happy fans finally came back to their senses at this time. Ace vs. Three, Tang Rou, she really did it, in the finals of the team competition, reversing the champion team Samsara!

In just an instant, some people were laughing so hard that tears flew out.

The scene of Samsara fans shouting Ace vs. Four after Zhou Zekai's Ace vs. Three was still vivid in their minds! So now, Tang Rou's sigh, in their opinion, was extremely appropriate.

So Happy fans quickly began to respond loudly, "It's good there's no next one!"

It was common for fans at the scene to hurl trash talk at each other. Samsara fans understood this irony in a second.

But they lost the match there, so they really couldn't find anything to retort with.

The players were letting them down! So when the team competition completely ended and the players left the field, Samsara fans weren't polite, they booed!

In the previous round, Jiang Botao's outstanding performance had made them sing for him, but this time, they were very dissatisfied, very frustrated, booing, no discussion.

Such a big opening advantage, but they were caught up by their opponents, and finally reversed by their newcomer with an Ace vs. Three. This was clearly a disgrace.

What were the players doing? Were they complacent because they were leading too much?

The audience booed wildly, not only to vent their dissatisfaction, but also to remind the team to wake up quickly.

The next team competition couldn't be so颓废 anymore. (Cannot translate)

During the break between the team competition and the individual competition, the scene wasn't quiet at all. And after such ups and downs in the individual competition, Happy and Samsara both chose to return to the preparation room for a brief rest.

The player seats of both teams were empty, but the booing at the scene didn't stop.

And the pro players who came to watch the match were also a little excited after watching such an exciting individual competition, and couldn't look at it so simply and rationally anymore.

"I bet that if Samsara could really send another person, Tang Rou would probably really pull off an Ace vs. Four!" Huang Shaotian was more openly excited at this time.

"Samsara's morale must have been greatly affected, this break's adjustment is crucial." Xiao Shiqin liked to observe from a holistic perspective.

"Even Samsara fans can't stand it." Zhang Jiale felt the atmosphere of the whole scene, he was more sensitive to the emotions of the fans.

"This is the first time I've heard Samsara being booed here." Yang Cong, who had been fighting in the pro scene for seven years, sighed.

"Who isn't?" Everyone said.

"Frankly, do you think Samsara played badly?" Chu Yunxiu suddenly said.

"Sun Xiang is okay, Zhou Zekai is beyond reproach." Tang Hao commented on these two from Samsara, these two were basically undisputed.

And what about after these two?

"Lu Boyuan's condition isn't very good." Han Wenqing said.

"Du Ming's condition is still good." Wang Jiexi nodded.

"Jiang Botao's intentions are also very clear, and he executed them very well, it's just a pity..." Yu Wenzhou only said half of his words.

"It's just a pity that Tang Rou performed even better!" After the three captains commented, Zhang Xinjie completed the half that Yu Wenzhou didn't say.

Yes, just like that.

Whoever performed better would win. The principle was actually that simple.

Matches were really lost because one side was good and the other side was terrible. One side was good, but the other side was even better. This kind of helplessness of "If only Yu had not been born" was also the main theme of the arena.

The players obviously didn't quite agree with the booing at the scene, but there was no way. Tang Rou had pulled off an Ace vs. Three, which was too sharp, the performance was too strong, too overwhelming. In such a comparison, Du Ming and Jiang Botao's decent condition could only be set off as very useless.

How would both sides play in the team competition?

Now everyone was starting to care about the team competition, which would ultimately determine the ownership of the championship. At this time, the map that would be used for the team competition had already been randomly selected. Because both teams had returned to the preparation room to rest, the map information would be presented to the audience at the same time, and the information would also be sent directly to the preparation rooms of both teams.
