Dang!

The two afterimages were parried by Wulang's short sword, Heavenly Chains.

Jiang Botao wasn't surprised by this Lien Tu counterattack. He had already thought of how to deal with this type of counterattack.

While using the "Guard" skill to block Lien Tu, Jiang Botao also had Wulang take a step back. Sure enough, as he expected, after Lien Tu, Fire Dance Flowing Flame thrust out again.

With Tang Rou's operational skills, it was not difficult to perform Floating Sky Four-Strike during the jump. Since she started with Lien Tu, there would definitely be one or two more strikes afterwards.

Taking a step back gave Jiang Botao more room to maneuver. Seeing that this thrust was just a normal attack, he let Wulang casually swing his sword, easily parrying it.

Cold Smoke Soft landed.

After the normal attack thrust, she didn't follow up with Dragon Tooth, because Wulang's continuous parries made Tang Rou realize that such attacks would be ineffective.

Falling Flower Palm!

But as soon as she landed, a new attack was launched immediately. Falling Flower Palm could be charged in place, or it could be performed with a sliding step forward. At this time, the distance between Wulang and Cold Smoke Soft was just right for this sliding step.

Wulang retreated again, completely following the previous step back. He obviously calculated Tang Rou's step forward attack.

Boom!

The magic wave unleashed by Falling Flower Palm hit the air. Wulang was very, very close to Cold Smoke Soft, but in the end, he was just a little short.

Wulang swung his sword.

But the distance was too close. Although Wave Sword was instant-cast, it was still a little slower than close-range attack skills. At this time, Wulang's sword swing was just a normal attack.

Normal attacks have low damage and weak judgment, but being hit would hinder one's actions. Tang Rou couldn't completely ignore it. Cold Smoke Soft swayed to the right, dodging the sword, and swung the spear in her hand.

Is it Tyrannical Strike?

When Jiang Botao saw Cold Smoke Soft swaying to the right, these two words immediately popped into his mind. After moving to the right, whether it was posture or angle, a Tyrannical Strike was the most suitable.

Sure enough, Fire Dance Flowing Flame swept across, it was a Tyrannical Strike.

Wulang jumped a big step diagonally backwards, dodging the Tyrannical Strike. This time, the distance created was enough to unleash a Wave Sword.

Heavenly Chains rose.

Frost Wave Sword!

Fine ice crystals swept out from under the sword, covering the ground.

Wulang launched an attack, but Cold Smoke Soft's posture and vision after the Tyrannical Strike recovery were very good. This attack fell right into Tang Rou's eyes.

Dodge! Seize the initiative!

Quickly, Wulang's attack was neutralized, and in the blink of an eye, it was Tang Rou's initiative again.

The Samsara fans in the audience sighed with regret. The current situation made them extremely worried.

But the professional players, through eye contact, already had a different view of the situation than ordinary players.

Tang Rou had the initiative, but that was only from an offensive and defensive perspective. When it came to the overall situation, it was not necessarily the case. Although Tang Rou was the one attacking, she was able to take the initiative to a certain extent because of Jiang Botao's retreat.

From the time Tang Rou started with Hao Long Po Jun until now, within the span of just a few skills, Jiang Botao would have had at least two opportunities to try to seize the initiative of the attack if he had wanted to.

But in the end, Jiang Botao only had Wulang counterattack when dodging Hao Long Po Jun and Tyrannical Strike. He did not let Wulang attack the other two equally worthy counterattack opportunities.

Was Jiang Botao unable to see these two opportunities?

It didn't seem to be the case. Because these two opportunities were not complicated, many ordinary players could detect them.

So what was the reason for Jiang Botao's decision to give up these two opportunities? The professional players didn't quite understand it at first, but after seeing Jiang Botao try to counterattack when Wulang dodged the Tyrannical Strike, they roughly understood Jiang Botao's game plan.

He wanted to simplify the content and didn't want any complicated changes to occur.

Take the two opportunities he gave up, for example. If he succeeded, then he would establish the offensive. But what if he didn't succeed?

In those two opportunity situations, Tang Rou had too many choices and changes to make, and there was no way to target them well.

And the two opportunities that Jiang Botao seized were opportunities where he could make a predictive judgment of Tang Rou's response, so that he could deal with it calmly.

This was Jiang Botao's strategy for this match.

Simplify the situation, make the opponent's choices linear, and thus control the situation.

Just dealing with these few skills, Jiang Botao was racking his brains and spending his mind. When Tang Rou launched another counterattack with Cold Smoke Soft after the Frost Wave Sword missed, Jiang Botao had Wulang retreat again.

Dragon Tooth or Circle Dance Stick? Or there was a certain possibility of Strong Dragon Descent.

Jiang Botao realized Tang Rou's follow-up attack again.

Dragon Tooth!

Seeing that Tang Rou's offensive didn't exceed the range of his prediction at all, Jiang Botao became more and more calm, not as worried as the audience outside the arena.

Dragon Tooth missed!

Well, is she going to use Furious Dragon Piercing Heart next?

Sure enough, Furious Dragon Piercing Heart.

Still missed!

Sea Dragon or Wind Sweeping Clouds?

Oh, Sea Dragon.

Flash!

Cold Smoke Soft attacked continuously, and Wulang retreated steadily.

From an offensive and defensive point of view, it seemed very one-sided. Wulang's occasional signs of counterattack would be instantly extinguished by Cold Smoke Soft.

But even ordinary players and ordinary spectators could realize at this time that although Jiang Botao was passive from an offensive and defensive point of view, the one who was probably anxious at this time was not Jiang Botao. Tang Rou, who completely occupied the initiative on the offensive end, could be said to have been attacking for a long time without success, and Jiang Botao's defense was calm and unhurried, obviously not taking the opponent's offensive as a burden. Cold Smoke Soft had been attacking for so long, and had only taken away seven percent of Wulang's life, which was still a long way from offsetting the gap at the beginning!

It's about time to counterattack.

The professional players who understood Jiang Botao's intentions at this time had a view that was one step ahead of ordinary players. Jiang Botao undoubtedly played this game quite cleverly. He knew that Tang Rou was not an opponent who could be confronted head-on. No one had absolute certainty in fighting her head-to-head. Tang Rou's condition was so outstanding, that if there was a slight mistake, she might eat him up.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

So Jiang Botao used defense as offense. Tang Rou's offensive from the beginning had a certain guidance from him. In the end, every attack launched did not jump out of Jiang Botao's judgment. Not only was this defense twice as effective, but a long attack without success was also a psychological test for Tang Rou. Jiang Botao also had a complete grasp of when to counterattack for maximum lethality.

The time was quite ripe.

The professional players thought so at this time. Because of Jiang Botao's involvement and the consumption of his own skills, the changes in Cold Smoke Soft's offensive were becoming less and less, almost presenting a single line. Almost everyone could call out what the next attack would be after each attack.

Can she use Falling Flower Palm here?

Everyone thought.

Boom! Cold Smoke Soft slapped out with a single palm, Falling Flower Palm.

Strong Dragon Descent?

Sure enough, Fire Dance Flowing Flame pressed down from above, Strong Dragon Descent.

You can counterattack at any time. Everyone thought. The opponent's offensive was completely under control. Wouldn't it be like playing to cut off the counterattack? Now it just depended on when the counterattack would have the greatest lethality.

Dragon Tooth!

Cold Smoke Soft's another attack was unleashed as expected. Wulang twisted his body, dodging it.

Counterattack!

Many people shouted in their hearts, they felt that the counterattack would be quite effective at this time.

As a result, Jiang Botao didn't seem satisfied with this opportunity. Wulang rolled backwards, dodging the next Circle Dance Stick.

What greed!

Everyone thought, Jiang Botao was not willing to make a move even with such an opportunity. Was he determined to wait for an opportunity where he could directly kill the opponent in one wave?

After dodging Circle Dance Stick, Fire Dance Flowing Flame was directly raised into the air, followed by a Heavenly Strike.

Wulang jumped back, and at the same time, to prevent any accidents, the short sword Heavenly Chains was held up.

Weapons collided, and a light-attribute magic rune immediately condensed behind Cold Smoke Soft. Without stopping, it flew directly towards Wulang.

The distance was too close, the magic rune was too fast, and it also had tracking, so Jiang Botao couldn't let Wulang dodge it, and it exploded on his face.

"Hahahaha!" Someone on the professional player side laughed.

"Jiang Botao is too careful!" Someone said.

"If he hadn't blocked that attack, there wouldn't have been this magic rune, and he wouldn't have been bombed for nothing."

"Yes, it's still a light attribute, which makes people increase their attack speed."

Some players were discussing this, but the expressions of some other players changed at this time.

Is it necessary to block the upward pick?

The electronic screen at the scene happened to give a replay of this scene at this time. Of course, its original intention was to show the light attribute magic rune attack, but these professional players were more concerned about the production of this magic rune.

Heavenly Strike attack...

Looking at the distance, there is really no need to parry!

Just as everyone thought this way, the Fire Dance Flowing Flame that was being raised, quietly moved forward a little.

Many people blinked their eyes vigorously to further judge that this scene was not an illusion.

Yes... Fire Dance Flowing Flame moved forward again. From the beginning of the cast, the Heavenly Strike was not used up. Tang Rou intentionally left a little room for change in this attack.

Because when facing a Battle Mage, professional players will try their best not to attack and parry the five low-level skills before job change, because the five magic runes are produced by these five skills hitting. Being attacked and being parried will also be counted as a hit.

Tang Rou used this common sense psychology of her opponent, intentionally casting the skill as if there was no need to parry, but in the process of casting, she suddenly added changes...

This kind of thing is not as simple as saying it, it requires very strong operational ability to complete such changes in a small space.

In the light-attribute magic rune, Cold Smoke Soft continued to attack aggressively. Although Wulang responded, he was obviously a little embarrassed.

Still not counterattacking?

Some people were still thinking this way.

But some people were already thinking: can he still counterattack?

The changes in Heavenly Strike were not accidental, but the key question was, did Tang Rou only use this change once in this Heavenly Strike?

Neither the TV nor the live replay would give too much before. The professional players only noticed this problem when they saw this Heavenly Strike. It was temporarily impossible to verify the previous ones.

Could it be said that... Jiang Botao has not been counterattacking, in fact, he is not waiting for an opportunity, but he has indeed been suppressed?

When did this start?
