Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1240 Losing is Also Wonderful
But just then, a circle of ghostly power suddenly surged around Guike's feet, instantly gathering on the blade. In an instant, the ghostly power of the Full Moon of Devouring Flame became even more abundant!
Zhanzhen? (Blade Formation)
Everyone was stunned. No one had noticed when Wu Yuce summoned the blade soul.
Although this ghost array was low in rank, its auxiliary effects were not bad at all. Not to mention Guike, a ghost swordsman who cultivated both array and blade techniques, even a pure blade ghoul would often max out the blade soul ghost array. This low-level ghost array could be chanted quickly and seamlessly integrated into attacks, providing a sudden boost to damage.
Wu Yuce did just that, but his blade soul summoning was so subtle that the power of the blade soul truly coalesced only after the Full Moon of Devouring Flame had already been unleashed. The assistance of the ghost array was instantaneous. The Full Moon of Devouring Flame was originally a skill with both physical and magical damage. With the double increase in strength and intelligence from the Zhanzhen, its power soared even more thoroughly.
The light of the Nenqi barrier dimmed in an instant.
Break!
The Nenqi of the Nenqi barrier was instantly exhausted, but the Full Moon of Devouring Flame still had energy to spare as it slashed towards Hailiang Wuliang. Fang Rui quickly controlled Hailang Wuliang to avoid it, but Wu Yuce's next attack had already followed.
Moonlight Slash!
This time, this slash technique was finally used. What kind of ghostly power was attached to it?
There was no ice, and no fire. This Moonlight Slash only unleashed endless darkness.
Dark Moonlight Slash. This time, Wu Yuce summoned the Dark Soul, stripping away all light and bringing the power of the dark demon god who brought utter darkness to the world.
There was no way to dodge!
Fang Rui instantly made a judgment. Wu Yuce's Guike's slashes were getting tighter and tighter, forcibly breaking through even the Nenqi barrier. This attack had finally forced him into a position where he could no longer dodge.
Since he couldn't dodge, then he would trade!
When the black blade light of the Dark Moonlight Slash struck Hailang Wuliang's chest, Hailang Wuliang had already raised his hand and unleashed a Sand Toss.
The damage of Sand Toss couldn't compare to the Dark Moonlight Slash empowered by the blade array, but at least it had the same blinding effect as the power of the dark demon god.
*Pfft!*
Hailang Wuliang was hit first. The black light spread out, and in an instant, the display screen in front of Fang Rui was completely swallowed by darkness, as if it had crashed. But in his ears, all the sounds were still so clear, letting him know that everything was still continuing, had not stopped. Hailang Wuliang's Sand Toss was unleashed, and then there was a sound of dripping and colliding.
Did it hit? Was it blinded?
Fang Rui didn't know. He couldn't see anything. He could only control Hailang Wuliang to retreat desperately, waving his hand and unleashing a Qi Bullet without seeing the target, just doing something subconsciously.
But soon, Fang Rui realized that his Hailang Wuliang was flying.
This guy, wasn't he blinded? Hailang Wuliang was then hit again. It was so coherent and tight, obviously not a rhythm that someone who was blindly guessing could control well. Fang Rui knew that Guike was not blinded by the Sand Toss.
All of this was very clear to the audience. Not only was he not blinded, but Guike didn't even take the slight damage from Sand Toss. After the Dark Moonlight Slash, a circle of ghost shadows immediately surrounded Guike, blocking all the flying sand.
Ghost Swordsman skill: Afterimage.
Unaffected, Wu Yuce controlled Guike to launch a preemptive attack. After the ghost claw flung Hailang Wuliang into the air, the slashes coordinated with the ghost array immediately began. Hailang Wuliang was still floating in the air, not having fallen, when the blinding effect on his body disappeared.
"I said, don't be too arrogant!" With a flash of light in his vision, Fang Rui's spirits also lifted. Although he had taken a lot of damage in this wave, it was far from extinguishing his morale.
Hailang Wuliang, with his back to the ground, faced Guike's blade, holding a ball in both hands in front of his chest, Nenqi fluctuating.
He was secretly charging an attack again!
People who had a little understanding of Fang Rui's fighting style immediately began to discuss.
Wu Yuce was also not careless at all. He knew how long his Dark Moonlight Slash could blind for. He knew that the effect had passed, and Hailang Wuliang suddenly raised his arms to his chest...
Guike immediately took a sliding step to the side, positioning himself first. He drew his blade, ready to block Hailang Wuliang's angle of attack.
Who would have thought that Hailang Wuliang would not make such a move at all? He just released the ball in his hands like that.
Huantian Cannon!
It really was Huantian Cannon. A strong wave of Nenqi flew out, rushing towards the sky, leaving traces of rotating condensation in the air.
There was nothing in the sky at all. Of course, this Huantian Cannon couldn't hit any target. But, using the momentum of this push, Hailang Wuliang suddenly accelerated and fell to the ground. Guike's blocking slash finally missed.
Earth-Shattering Thunder!
Hailang Wuliang, just before landing, charged up his strength again in both palms. Without turning his view, his hands landed on the ground before his body.
The skill was released, and Nenqi traveled underground, directly striking every corner within range. Guike was no exception. The power transmitted from the heart of the earth directly bounced him up from the ground and sent him crashing to the side.
Ukemi! (defensive fall)
Wu Yuce quickly controlled Guike to roll and land, but Hailang Wuliang, with his hands slamming on the ground, rolled even faster! Who could be more skilled and faster in this kind of crawling and rolling movement than him, the rogue-born, obscene master?
Guike was still flying horizontally in the air. Hailang Wuliang had already rolled to his side.
Jiemai: Po Zhi! (Meridian Severance: Intellect Break)
With a finger thrust, Guike's intelligence dropped sharply.
Then, Flash Hundred Strikes, Qi Gong Explosion!
Two consecutive ultimate moves were unleashed on the horizontally flying Guike. Nenqi circulated madly around Guike, driving the surrounding air currents, stirring up dust. Guike didn't look like he was being attacked. It was as if he was unleashing some kind of small universe.
Fang Rui wanted to continue his attack, but Wu Yuce had also adjusted. Even after suffering a heavy blow, it did not shake the will of this player.
What a wonderful and evenly matched duel!
Many viewers in the audience had already stood up and applauded this battle. Fans hoped that their team would win, but they would not be stingy with their respect for their opponent's outstanding performance. High-level duels were always welcome. Even the losing side would leave with the least regret.
Fang Rui walked off the stage with this kind of unfinished feeling. He lost the duel in the end, but the applause he won made it seem like he was the victor. Although he didn't win, Wu Yuce, such a strong opponent, stimulated Fang Rui's performance to a higher level.
In discussions about Fang Rui's Qigong Master playstyle, some people had discussed whether this new playstyle could really stand the test.
New playstyles always have some brighter results when they first appear because people are unfamiliar with them. But the most effective way to test whether a playstyle can be passed down is time. In the more than ten years since Glory was born, countless playstyles have been born, circulated, or eliminated. In the relatively mature and balanced situation that has developed to this day, new playstyles are often a flash in the pan, and fewer and fewer can stand the test of time.
After all, Fang Rui's Qigong Master playstyle had only appeared for ten rounds. Could it really become a school of its own? More conservative people were not too optimistic. But right now, in this just-concluded game, in a battle against a high-level opponent like Wu Yuce, Fang Rui's playstyle was still shining with various lights, which was considered to have passed a very solid test.
"Refreshing!" Fang Rui obviously also valued the value of this duel. He looked like he had lost right now, but it was of great significance for his future development. Besides, even looking at it right now, you can't say that he lost! He had already taken down one member of Void, and Wu Yuce's Guike had also lost 50% of his health. 1v1.5, Fang Rui's performance was actually very good. This was a team arena, so you can't judge from the victory or defeat of a single game.
"Yeah, yeah, you played well," Ye Xiu said.
"I really want to go up and fight again!" Fang Rui held the account card in his hand with an unfinished look.
"You can ask him to fight all night after the game," Ye Xiu said.
"Okay, okay, that's a good idea. I'll send him a text message," Fang Rui said, taking out his phone, impatient. For Xingxin, the second player to appear in the team arena was Su Mucheng, who was smiling as she took the stage.
Mu Yu Chengfeng had 100% health, while Guike only had 50% health. The Gunner's super long range gave her a certain restraint against ghost swordsmen, who lacked high-speed movement skills. In the end, after an equally exciting duel, Mu Yu Chengfeng killed Guike at the cost of 33% of her health.
Void's final anchor in the team arena, Li Xuan, was unfortunately another ghost swordsman. The Gunner's suppression still existed. Su Mucheng had mostly fought in individual matches before, but she was specially transferred to the team arena in this round, which obviously meant that she was targeting Void's two ghost swordsmen.
One-third of her health sent Wu Yuce away; two-thirds of her health welcomed Li Xuan.
Li Xuan was an Array Ghoul. He didn't need to attack at all. For a Gunner who couldn't possibly get close to him, the protective array that the Array Ghoul set up around himself was useless. He had to take the initiative to attack and actively seek the opportunity to trap the Gunner in the array. But, how could it be so easy...
The Double Ghoul partnership had competed with Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng for the best combination for several seasons, losing their competitiveness in various overwhelmed postures. Ye Xiu? It wasn't even his turn yet. Just Su Mucheng's Gunner had repeatedly bombarded them until they were turned upside down. Su Mucheng even had the title of Double Ghoul Killer because of this.
This Double Ghoul wasn't a general term, it specifically referred to Void's two players. Su Mucheng seemed to have a special understanding of how to deal with ghost swordsmen. They were the two's absolute victims.
Now it seemed that even though they hadn't fought for a season, the victims were still victims. One-third of her health sent away the half-health Guike, and two-thirds of her health made Li Xuan helpless. Xingxin only needed two players to end this team arena.
"Aiya..." Fang Rui looked at his phone from time to time. He had won the team arena, but he still looked depressed: "He didn't reply to my text message. It seems like he's in a bad mood!"
