Hu Die Lan

Chapter 1628 Trading Blows

Xuan tou, Kong Jiaosha!

With two consecutive skills, Dancing Rain's health dropped two levels as if she were in an elevator. However, the combo counter stopped after only these two hits.

In this respect, Judo is even more demanding than Elemental Mages, Warlocks, and Spellblades. This is because Judo's grappling skills are arguably the most controlling in Glory. Any other class's combos can be interrupted by experience, awareness, or operation, but Judo's control is so strong that if a true combo is achieved, there is no room to interrupt it.

If it's just difficult for Elemental Mages and Warlocks to pull off combos, then it's impossible for a Judo to use grabs to achieve high-level combos. Not to mention facing a professional player, even against a sandbag that doesn't move, the number of consecutive grabs and throws that a Judo can perform is extremely limited.

Therefore, when watching Judo matches, the combo count provided by the system can be completely ignored. The combo count created by the continuous collision of a sustained skill is not considered a true combo in everyone's eyes. Skill connections for the Judo class rely heavily on pseudo-combos. Using one's awareness and operation to create continuous attacks that are not recognized by the system, yet leave the opponent unable to cope.

Kong Jiaosha!

Dancing Rain was ruthlessly slammed face-first into the ground by Yunshan Luan. When watching a match, viewers inevitably put themselves in the players' shoes. This slam felt as if Su Mucheng's face had been directly slammed into the ground. Thinking of Su Mucheng's beautiful face being treated this way, even the Samsara fans couldn't help but sigh.

But Lu Boyuan ignored it. As soon as he landed, Yunshan Luan immediately retracted his legs, rolled on the spot, and stood up. What about Dancing Rain? The knockdown judgment of grappling skills cannot be avoided with a ukemi (recovery roll). At this moment, she obediently made full contact with the ground first. Then, Dancing Rain didn't get up. Instead, she rolled sideways on the ground, her cannon aimed at Yunshan Luan.

Boom!

Firelight flashed.

Su Mucheng's response is a relatively experienced technique for dealing with Judo. No matter how she got up at this moment, she would definitely be within the opponent's response. She had to disrupt the situation with attacks or other means first.

But Su Mucheng was experienced in dealing with Judo, and Lu Boyuan wasn't unaware that there would be this kind of response. Firelight flashed, and a cannonball flew out, but Yunshan Luan's figure sank downward.

You can't attack me if I lie on the ground? Glory wouldn't have such a large loophole for cheap tactics. Sweeping attacks are aimed at this kind of situation. Even ordinary attacks can produce a sweeping effect as long as the position is right. Lying on the ground is definitely not an invincible buff.

Elbow Drop!

Dancing Rain didn't get up, so Yunshan Luan simply fell down as well, his horizontal elbow cutting straight at Dancing Rain's throat.

Su Mucheng was waiting for the opponent's attack. Dancing Rain took advantage of the situation to roll, dodging the attack while preparing to get up. Unexpectedly, Yunshan Luan's bent elbow suddenly stretched out at this moment. The Elbow Drop skill was canceled, his arm extended, and he grabbed with one hand, turning it into a single-handed capture.

With one arm exerting force, Dancing Rain, who was about to roll away, was pulled back again. Yunshan Luan fell to the ground, but Dancing Rain was also dragged to the ground again by this single-handed capture. Yunshan Luan took advantage of the situation to roll over, using ukemi to stand up, but Dancing Rain was limited by the skill's forced knockdown judgment, a beat slower.

This beat was the foothold for Judo to launch a continuous offensive after capturing the opponent. And for the captured party, the key to regaining the initiative was how to break through the opportunity lost due to this beat.

This was undoubtedly more difficult for Su Mucheng, whose character class was a Gunner. As a class that was extremely poor at close combat, being approached by a Judo, a class with such strong control, meant that she had already lost half the battle. Su Mucheng had to seek victory from defeat.

Roll!

Dancing Rain, who had just completed the forced knockdown judgment, immediately rolled up from the ground. This was not the wisest choice, but sometimes, precisely because of this, this choice was easily overlooked, causing the opponent to hesitate briefly.

But unfortunately, Lu Boyuan didn't.

After Yunshan Luan used a single-handed capture to flip Dancing Rain and then stand up, he immediately determined that Dancing Rain could get up immediately. Lu Boyuan had never selectively forgotten this kind of plan that seemed unwise and was almost never chosen by professional players.

Ground Sweep!

Yunshan Luan, who had already stood up, pressed down with this grab from a high position. Just as he was about to grab Dancing Rain's head directly, a cannon suddenly boomed, and the fire and smoke flashed from under Dancing Rain's body. Dancing Rain's figure immediately fell to the left, pushed away by the recoil of this cannon.

Missed!

Yunshan Luan's press missed, and he hurriedly took a step forward to change his move. At the same time, Dancing Rain rolled to defuse the momentum of this blast, and the muzzle was aimed at him again.

Boom boom boom!

Three shots in a row. At such a close distance, Su Mucheng's gun-shake manipulation created a clear misalignment even with three tank cannons. Her mastery of this low-level and commonly used skill for Gunners had indeed reached its peak.

Dodge?

Lu Boyuan had certainly anticipated this kind of attack, but the range of these three shaken cannonballs exceeded his judgment. Yunshan Luan took a step to dodge, but was finally hit by one of the shots. His figure staggered backward in the explosion.

The expected attack, prepared for early, was still unavoidable. Lu Boyuan was forced to take this hit by Su Mucheng's manipulation. At this distance, with this gun-shake manipulation, Lu Boyuan's operation was not enough to keep up.

With this shot hitting, Yunshan Luan's advantage of getting up first was gone. The distance between the two sides was further increased. The gap of two to three steps was no longer a distance where Yunshan Luan could catch Dancing Rain with a single reach.

Dancing Rain, still in a state of rolling and not fully standing up, exerted force from her feet and directly jumped backward. In an instant, the distance of two or three steps became three or four steps again. At this time, Yunshan Luan had just stabilized from the stagger caused by the anti-tank gun and was about to rush forward. However, Dancing Rain's dark muzzle lit up again in front of him.

Cannot avoid!

If it were a distance of ten, twenty, or thirty steps, Lu Boyuan might not be so strong. But at this moment, the distance between the two sides was only three or four steps. Although it was no longer a distance where a grab skill could reach, it was at least still his advantageous situation. At three or four steps, Judo's skills could not be used, but Gunners were completely exposing their slow rate of fire and rhythm at this distance, making it impossible to maintain continuous threats.

Up!

Lu Boyuan did not hesitate. Yunshan Luan flashed, dodging as if the muzzle had already fired an attack, keeping his body swaying irregularly from side to side.

This was not a prediction, and Su Mucheng had no way to make a prediction based on his illogical swaying.

This was gambling on luck!

At this distance, it was impossible to dodge after seeing the fire cannon attack, and Su Mucheng had no time to make an accurate judgment.

One strike!

There was only one chance.

If one strike hit, Yunshan Luan would be forced to stop again, and the distance would be further widened.

If one strike missed, Yunshan Luan would rush forward and bring Dancing Rain back into his grabbing range.

One strike, could it hit?

The entire audience held their breath, watching Yunshan Luan sway and rush towards Dancing Rain. Dancing Rain's muzzle was very stable, but the fire did not come out for a long time. Although she was also retreating, it was far less than Yunshan Luan's speed of rushing forward. She would be caught up in the blink of an eye, but she seemed to be still waiting, waiting for what?

Close! Reach out!

Lu Boyuan did not expect that Su Mucheng had hesitated to attack all along. Yunshan Luan had already rushed to her front, and his hand had reached out. Even if there was an attack at this time, Yunshan Luan's hand would probably be enough to grab the opponent, right?

Probably... right?

Just as Yunshan Luan's hand was about to grab Dancing Rain, the energy slots on both sides of the hand cannon Devouring Sun suddenly lit up, instantly filled with blue light.

Not good!

Lu Boyuan realized it, but it was already too late.

This cannon had no explosive roar, only a brief but rapid sound of energy gathering and suddenly releasing.

The cannonball left the barrel, not flying fast enough, but flashing blue light, crackling like lightning.

Suspended Magnetic Cannon!

At the last moment, Su Mucheng actually managed to have Dancing Rain fire a Suspended Magnetic Cannon, a skill that Gunners rarely had, one that could control the target.

Was this a prediction? Was this a setup?

No, neither.

This was another hard eat through manipulation!

The Suspended Magnetic Cannon skill had signs of energy gathering when it was activated, and the launch speed of the cannonball was relatively slow. If it was activated from the beginning, even at a distance of three or four steps, or even closer, it would be enough for a professional player to avoid it. And if this strike missed, Su Mucheng would not have a second chance.

The Gunner's slow rhythm stemmed from her rate of fire, and the so-called rate of fire of the Gunner class did not refer to the speed at which the bullet flew out after being fired, but the time it took to load and fire the next bullet after one shot was fired. Whether it was a normal attack or a skill attack, it was necessary to complete this process of reloading. The Gunner was slow because this process was slow, and this could not be changed by manipulation. It could only be changed by strengthening the "attack speed" in the attributes.

The reason why it was difficult for Gunners to form a continuous threat at a distance of three or four steps was because of this reason. After one cannon was fired, the opponent might have already rushed in front of them during the reloading process before the next cannon could be fired. So there was only one chance for this strike.

So Su Mucheng boldly allowed Yunshan Luan to get close, almost at a distance of only one step, before starting the Suspended Magnetic Cannon.

Attack speed could not be changed by manipulation. Manipulation was the command to cast this skill. The faster the command was completed, the earlier this skill could be activated, of course.

One step away, complete the Suspended Magnetic Cannon.

Su Mucheng relied on such a bold operation to once again force Lu Boyuan to take the hit.

Lu Boyuan was completely unable to cope. Yunshan Luan was immediately sucked onto the Suspended Magnetic Cannon, helplessly following the cannonball as it was sent flying. Dancing Rain was getting farther and farther away in his sight. He was helpless because the Suspended Magnetic Cannon could not be forcibly detonated.
