Chapter 146 Crafty Timing

The fact that Who Doesn't Bow and Mo Dare Not Turn Back appeared at such an opportune moment demonstrated that they hadn't been passively waiting. They had been patiently biding their time, seeking the optimal opportunity to strike. Clearly, these two girls weren't arrogant enough to believe they could confront the five-man team from Excellent Era. Therefore, they ultimately targeted the Excellent Era player who was acting alone, and finally made their move.

"Heh, I knew you two wouldn't be up to any good. I was getting impatient waiting," said the Battle Mage, Ling Fengwu. That arrogant tone could only belong to Sun Xiang.

This guy had apparently realized he was being watched by the two women, but hadn't taken them seriously. He did what he needed to do, waiting for them to make their move before crushing them.

"Underestimating us will cost you!" Who Doesn't Bow and Mo Dare Not Turn Back were also quite proud. They could definitely guess that the person in front of them was Sun Xiang, but they didn't show any signs of backing down. Hearing the disdain in Sun Xiang's voice, the two of them were even more indignant, and immediately launched a fierce attack without saying another word.

The bullets fired from their guns seemed like two intersecting rays, cutting toward Ling Fengwu's body. Sun Xiang sneered, and Ling Fengwu suddenly activated, performing a skillful Z-shaped sidestep maneuver. Ling Fengwu's figure weaved freely through the two rays, stepping precisely into the gap between each shot. In the blink of an eye, he was even closer to Mo Dare Not Turn Back on the right.

Sun Xiang's precise control was clearly beyond their expectations. They hadn't anticipated that he could so easily break through their crossfire through positioning alone.

Mo Dare Not Turn Back quickly jumped up, firing while preparing to use a flying gun to increase the distance. Meanwhile, Who Doesn't Bow also stepped forward, running and shooting to maintain coordinated fire with Mo Dare Not Turn Back.

However, even the stationary crossfire hadn't been able to restrain Sun Xiang. Now, with them shooting while moving, the difficulty was even greater, and the effect was noticeably worse.

"Spray Fire!" In desperation, and with perfect understanding, Mo Dare Not Turn Back reminded the other, and they both simultaneously unleashed the Spray Fire skill, instantly increasing the number of bullets fired geometrically. This time, Sun Xiang felt the pressure. He hadn't expected that these two could train such a difficult-to-control skill like Spray Fire to create such an interwoven net of firepower.

"Not bad. Looks like I'll have to get a little serious." After being hit by several shots, Sun Xiang made an excuse for failing to dodge this interwoven fire net. Ling Fengwu brandished his battle lance, and with a Dragon Breaks the Ranks, he charged through the interwoven fire net while enduring the damage. Moreover, he suddenly changed his target. He had originally been chasing Mo Dare Not Turn Back, but now he suddenly executed a surprise attack, charging at Who Doesn't Bow with Dragon Breaks the Ranks.

However, the distance between the two wasn't close, and Who Doesn't Bow's reaction wasn't that slow. When Ling Fengwu charged forward with his lance, Who Doesn't Bow quickly backstepped to dodge, sending a grenade toward Ling Fengwu as she did so.

But Sun Xiang's control was extremely fast and accurate. Ling Fengwu thrust out his lance with one hand, executing a Poison Dragon Pierces the Heart, which burst the grenade in mid-air while maintaining its momentum, continuing to chase Who Doesn't Bow.

Seeing this, Who Doesn't Bow knew that she couldn't dodge this attack by moving alone. She could no longer cling to the Gunner class's combat principle of "maintaining distance." Who Doesn't Bow decisively squatted down, sliding past Ling Fengwu's battle lance. Instead of increasing the distance, she actively closed in on Ling Fengwu.

This move took some courage, but it couldn't be called unbelievable. Ling Fengwu suddenly leaped up to dodge this attack, showing that Sun Xiang had anticipated this. At this moment, Ling Fengwu, floating in mid-air, suddenly inverted, head down and feet up. Still holding the lance with one hand, he twisted his body and spun rapidly as he fell downward.

Who Doesn't Bow's slide attack missed, her figure only halfway through the movement, as she was about to stand up and continue chasing Ling Fengwu. She didn't expect such a fast attack to come.

This attack was not because Who Doesn't Bow wasn't prepared enough, even Ye Xiu was seeing it for the first time.

Flying Dragon in the Heavens!

This was a new ultimate skill for Battle Mages at level 75. Even with Ye Xiu's vast experience, his understanding of this move was still limited. On the other hand, Sun Xiang was now a player who specialized in Battle Mages. After his character reached level 75, he began to study the new ultimate skill. This Flying Dragon in the Heavens had naturally been practiced in various ways, both in his mind and in practice. Now, Who Doesn't Bow was being used as a practical whetstone. Speaking of which, with Excellent Era currently playing in the Challenger League, it was rare to see a whetstone like Who Doesn't Bow.

This attack drilled down, and the attack wasn't just concentrated on the tip of the spear. The force generated by the character's spiral rotation also erupted with the final stab, instantly creating a whirlwind that stirred up sand and stones. It was impossible to see what was happening to the two characters in the battle. Mo Dare Not Turn Back, who was trying to provide support, couldn't see the target at all and could only fire wildly into the swirling force, leaving everything to luck.

The whirlwind dissipated in an instant, and the two figures became clear again. Ling Fengwu stood proudly, holding his battle lance high in one hand. On the tip of the lance hung Who Doesn't Bow.

Just looking at this scene, Who Doesn't Bow had suffered a miserable defeat, being hung up for all to see. However, Ye Xiu knew very well that this was just Ling Fengwu continuing his attack, chasing the floating Who Doesn't Bow with several "Dragon Tooth" and other straight thrust attacks. So the frozen moment looked like he was hanging her in the air, but in reality, Ling Fengwu definitely couldn't maintain this pose. As expected, in the blink of an eye, Ling Fengwu had already retracted his battle lance. Who Doesn't Bow didn't immediately fall to the ground, but instead had a brief pause in the air. This was clearly because she had received an upward force attack, which caused this hang time effect.

"Go!" Sun Xiang shouted, using a Falling Flower Palm to push Who Doesn't Bow, who had just landed, toward Mo Dare Not Turn Back. Ling Fengwu, under cover of Who Doesn't Bow's figure, quickly caught up.

Mo Dare Not Turn Back made a horizontal move, opening her field of vision and raising her gun to shoot. Ling Fengwu swayed left and right, dodging the attacks. In the blink of an eye, Mo Dare Not Turn Back had also fallen within Ling Fengwu's attack range. The battle lance thrust out, trying to knock her into the air. However, as he took a step, Sun Xiang suddenly felt something strange under his feet. Ling Fengwu lowered his head to look, and a small mechanical tracking robot was crawling toward his leg.

Sun Xiang was shocked.

It wasn't that this skill was particularly terrifying, but that he hadn't noticed when these two had released this skill at all. The direction of the thrusting lance changed, directly piercing and destroying the small robot on the ground. But Mo Dare Not Turn Back was also suspended in the air because of this. At close range, she still chose to shoot, and with the extremely powerful Gatling Gun. The heavy machine gun was almost directly pressed against Ling Fengwu's chest, followed by a burst of shots. No matter how strong Sun Xiang was, he couldn't dodge this zero-distance attack. Ling Fengwu was pushed away by the stream of bullets from the Gatling Gun.

Mo Dare Not Turn Back didn't get greedy with the effect of this attack. Although the Gatling Gun was satisfying, it was still a low-level skill. It would be a waste to use a low-level skill for such an opportunity. After shooting Ling Fengwu back several spaces, Mo Dare Not Turn Back canceled this skill. She put away the heavy machine gun, and raised a sniper rifle.

A shot rang out.

At this distance, at this moment, Mo Dare Not Turn Back didn't need time to aim specifically. She raised her gun and fired, hitting Ling Fengwu's head directly.

Sun Xiang obviously hadn't anticipated that just defending against the mechanical tracking robot would cause him so much trouble. A Barrett sniper headshot dealt a lot of damage. Before he could even think, another shot rang out. Who Doesn't Bow, who had been knocked away by his Falling Flower Palm, had landed. Seeing this opportunity, she crouched down and raised her sniper rifle, firing another shot after Mo Dare Not Turn Back's shot.

Two headshots! The drop in Ling Fengwu's health made Sun Xiang's heart skip a beat.

He couldn't be careless anymore!

Sun Xiang warned himself, but Who Doesn't Bow and Mo Dare Not Turn Back seized this opportunity. After two sniper ultimate moves, they followed up with a burst of rapid-fire shots. And instead of increasing the distance, they actively closed in. They had suddenly realized that against a top-tier player like Sun Xiang, simply following the Gunner's principle of "maintaining distance" wasn't a wise move.

Distance had to be created, but the amount of distance was something to be considered. Because top-tier players were skilled at control, if the distance was too great, allowing more reaction and control time, then any attack would be futile. So, against top-tier players, it wasn't necessarily better to increase the distance as much as possible. It was necessary to maintain a certain range to ensure the efficiency of one's attacks.

Creating distance wasn't for escaping, it was for defeating the opponent.

Suddenly enlightened, the two women now advanced instead of retreated, chasing Ling Fengwu to attack. This move really made Sun Xiang more flustered. Bullets fired from such a close range, and from two people, made it impossible to dodge as calmly as before. After dodging the first shot, the second shot came quickly. After dodging the second shot, the third shot was even faster...

So at this moment, it was no longer the two Gunners who wanted to increase the distance, but Sun Xiang, the Battle Mage.

Finally, he seized an opportunity when there was a flaw in the connection between Who Doesn't Bow and Mo Dare Not Turn Back, and backstepped repeatedly to escape the predicament. Who would have thought that when he landed on the second jump, there was a loud bang. He had stepped on a mechanical tracking robot, and was immediately pushed back by the blast.

"Damn! Who is it!" Sun Xiang immediately shouted. At this time, Who Doesn't Bow and Mo Dare Not Turn Back were directly in front of him. He could clearly see their attacks, and they definitely hadn't used mechanical tracking robots. Someone was playing tricks in the dark.

While Ling Fengwu was being pushed back by the explosion, he completed a 360-degree turn, showing Sun Xiang's ultra-fast hand speed. But the rotating view didn't allow him to discover anything. He had fallen back into the dense firepower net of Who Doesn't Bow and Mo Dare Not Turn Back.

"Despicable!" Sun Xiang angrily rebuked the two in front of him.

"If you can't beat us, you start cursing? Is that the quality of a pro?" Who Doesn't Bow and Mo Dare Not Turn Back were also furious, and immediately retorted.

"Can't beat you two? You two aren't even embarrassed." Sun Xiang shouted.

"Go to hell!" The two girls attacked even more fiercely. Ling Fengwu, pushed back by the mechanical tracking robot explosion, was not under Sun Xiang's control. This time, it was even more difficult to resist, and he was angrily eliminated by the two of them.

"What kind of people are they!" Who Doesn't Bow and Mo Dare Not Turn Back killed their opponent, but they weren't happy. They were still a little angry.

"It's me!" As a result, someone actually responded. The two were shocked, and saw a Thief already reaching out and throwing a handful of sand in their faces. The two instinctively turned their heads to avoid being blinded by the sand attack. But as soon as they turned their heads, a series of system prompts appeared.

"Not good!" The two exclaimed in unison.
