Chapter 1
A front kick, an effect to knock back, but at this moment, One Autumn Leaf was in mid-air, so the knock-back naturally became a knock-fly.

How could this kick be so accurate? How could Ye Xiu be so prescient? Many ordinary players were already going crazy. But the pro players knew that it would be an overstatement to call it prescience; Ye Xiu had merely made a good response to one of the possibilities.

If Ye Xiu had truly calculated that Sun Xiang would make One Autumn Leaf teleport like that, he would have had better means to give One Autumn Leaf a heavy blow. But now, it was just a front kick, a skill that was short and fast. The priority when choosing this skill was that even if Sun Xiang didn't make One Autumn Leaf teleport like that, this missed kick wouldn't have any effect on him.

However, this attack did take effect in the end, and if this front kick was just perfunctory, with no follow-up moves, then it would be a bit of a disappointment for a god-level player.

The front kick hit, and Lord Grim followed with a leap, actually chasing after One Autumn Leaf, who was being kicked away.

But Sun Xiang was not weak; he wasn't Ye Xiu's opponent when it came to playing mind games, and he had been calculated by Ye Xiu again this time. But when it came to pure skill, Sun Xiang could say that he wasn't afraid of any expert.

In this situation, he still managed to complete an attack.

Circle Swing!

One Autumn Leaf's attack, even in mid-air, was so fast, accurate, and ruthless. The battle spear, Evil Annihilation, turned into a streak of black light, stabbing towards Lord Grim, who was flying in pursuit.

But at this moment, Lord Grim suddenly waved his hand, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella transforming into a ninja blade, which he inserted into the mountain wall, stopping his figure in mid-air. Evil Annihilation, transformed into a streak of black light, ultimately fell just short of hitting its target.

Smile.

Ye Xiu even had time to send an emoticon in the chat. Seeing this scene, the pro players couldn't help but imagine Ye Xiu's shameless laughter, mentally providing the sound effects for him.

But Sun Xiang wasn't about to give up just yet. The Circle Swing missed, and the retracted Evil Annihilation turned behind him, a horizontal thrust, directly stabbing into the mountain wall.

Immediately following, the flying One Autumn Leaf crashed into the obstacle he had created himself. No one expected One Autumn Leaf to shrink his body in mid-air, using the force of the impact against Evil Annihilation to change direction, actually performing a roll.

This is... a Ukemi (受身) maneuver?

It wasn't just ordinary players who were surprised; the pro players were wide-eyed.

On such a thin spear shaft, Sun Xiang actually made One Autumn Leaf complete this Ukemi roll. As if performing acrobatics, One Autumn Leaf finally squatted on the spear shaft.

This was definitely not an operation that players would usually practice; it was entirely improvised by Sun Xiang at this moment, demonstrating his extraordinary adaptability, as well as requiring extremely high hand speed and precise control.

With this, Sun Xiang actually allowed the Battle Mage to do something almost like a ninja.

However, ninjas possessed this ability mainly due to the special structure of their ninja blades. The long rope connected to the end of the blade's hilt was the key to achieving climbing. But One Autumn Leaf, at this moment, could only squat on Evil Annihilation like this, because his hands had to hold onto Evil Annihilation, otherwise he would be abandoning his weapon.

In this situation, it was easier to jump horizontally, which would allow him to draw the battle spear. But if he wanted to jump vertically, the battle spear that was firmly stuck in the mountain wall and bearing the character's weight would instead become an obstacle. This proposition had been studied a long time ago, deemed too difficult to achieve, and ultimately no one spent any more effort on it.

What will Sun Xiang do next?

Everyone suddenly became curious, and the audience burst into thunderous applause for Sun Xiang's acrobatic maneuvers.

But the question is, is the focus right now on what Sun Xiang will do?

No, the one in control right now is definitely Ye Xiu. What Ye Xiu does is what will truly dictate the situation.

So, although Ye Xiu admired Sun Xiang's acrobatic maneuvers, he didn't let it slow his pace at all. One Autumn Leaf had just squatted firmly on Evil Annihilation when Lord Grim flew towards him.

With his weapon under his feet, if he pulled it out, his character would fall. If he didn't pull it out, how could he use skills to deal with the situation? Everyone had just praised Sun Xiang's precise response, but now, looking at it again, wasn't Sun Xiang's precision putting himself in a dead end?

Just then, One Autumn Leaf squatted down, his left hand still gripping Evil Annihilation, but his right hand already striking out with a palm.

Falling Flower Palm!

A strike with good judgment and a bit of area of effect.

However, the attack range was too short; that was the fatal flaw. The Falling Flower Palm was launched, but on Lord Grim's side, a sword light had already slashed in front of One Autumn Leaf, colliding with the magic qi of the Falling Flower Palm. In terms of judgment, it wasn't inferior at all, and it could even be said to have completely penetrated the magic qi that erupted from the Falling Flower Palm.

"Too bad..."

Many pro players recognized this skill and sighed.

Ripple Slash!

Ye Xiu actually made Lord Grim use this attack in mid-air. This attack had a grabbing judgment, so how could Falling Flower Palm break it open? Naturally, it suffered a great loss. The sword light swept past, and the power of the ripple instantly locked onto One Autumn Leaf, and following the direction in which the sword was thrust, it pulled him towards that end.

Evil Annihilation was pulled out of the mountain wall. One Autumn Leaf was locked in mid-air by the power of the Ripple Slash and began to take damage. But everyone could see that the key at this moment wasn't the damage, but the fact that One Autumn Leaf had been completely sent into the defenseless mid-air. Left? Right?

Evil Annihilation was extended by another half, so it couldn't even reach the mountain wall anymore. One Autumn Leaf could only wait for the damage from the Ripple Slash to end before free-falling into the two groups of NPCs that were fiercely fighting below!

Looking at Ye Xiu's Lord Grim again, after using a Ripple Slash in mid-air to release One Autumn Leaf, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella immediately changed its form again. He steadily clung to the mountain wall, and after two ups and downs, he stood firmly, while One Autumn Leaf had already fallen into the chaotic battle. What kind of attitude would these two teams of NPCs have towards a "stranger" joining their battle? This was about to be revealed. But for Samsara, this experiment was a bit cruel; their player's character had become the experimental subject.

Falling, One Autumn Leaf.

If you had sharp eyes, you could see that One Autumn Leaf's posture was being adjusted. The Ripple Slash's grab didn't have a forced knockdown judgment like Circle Swing or many Judo grabbing skills. After the ripple damage, the character could accept command instructions.

One Autumn Leaf stretched out in the air, his battle spear, Evil Annihilation, already raised above his head. At the moment of landing, Evil Annihilation swung down, shaking the mountains and rivers.

Battle Breaking Mountain River! (Dou Po Shan He)

This was Sun Xiang's response.
