Hu Die Lan

Chapter 1236 One Hit Kill

Heart Stab!

The Jumping Dagger was knocked away, and Ghost Lantern Fire immediately followed up with another Heart Stab, aimed straight at Steamed Bun Invasion's chest.

Steamed Bun Invasion took a diagonal step to evade, simultaneously raising an arm horizontally to block Ghost Lantern Fire's neck with a Mountain Disrupting Tiger.

A surge of great force erupted, and Ghost Lantern Fire was instantly sent flying by the blow, but Steamed Bun Invasion also gained another wound on his waist as a result.

Mother-and-Son Dagger!

While being blown away by the Mountain Disrupting Tiger, Li Xun had already swiftly completed his attack.

An exchange, but Li Xun was very dissatisfied with the result.

He was someone who liked to finish with a single strike. Sacrifice Strike required trading blood for blood, so to him, life was equivalent to damage and was extremely valuable. Therefore, even a balanced exchange felt like a loss to him. Li Xun had his own standards for what kind of exchange was acceptable, and at least this exchange was unpleasant.

But Steamed Bun didn't care about his mood. The Mountain Disrupting Tiger sent the target flying, but other than damage, the Mother-and-Son Dagger didn't have much of an attack effect. Next, Steamed Bun Invasion took the initiative, unhesitatingly continuing the offensive, launching a Powerful Knee Strike and flying up to crash into the airborne Ghost Lantern Fire.

Ghost Lantern Fire twisted his body to the side in mid-air, dodging the strike.

Sky Leap, only assassins with this passive skill could jump in the air, and of course, only once. With this jump, Ghost Lantern Fire avoided the Powerful Knee Strike, and then swung his leg back to stomp down on Steamed Bun Invasion.

Rapid Air Tread!

This assassin skill was somewhat similar to the Monk's Eagle Stamp, but the judgment wasn't as strong as Eagle Stamp, but the rhythm was much faster. After stepping down, the legs alternated in a continuous series of stamps, five in an instant, forcibly kicking Steamed Bun Invasion, who had launched the Powerful Knee Strike, sideways.

Once an assassin landed a hit, the follow-up attacks came extremely quickly. While Ghost Lantern Fire, who had just used Powerful Knee Strike, was still in the air, he suddenly turned into a series of afterimages, and in an instant, he had already flashed to Steamed Bun Invasion's side, dagger stabbing straight.

Flickering Thrust!

An assassin's level 65 skill, this skill had displacement, but it wouldn't be used as a movement skill, because the displacement range was very small, only one step, which was the distance of one character space. But this step was almost instantaneous. Using Flickering Thrust, someone who was standing in front of you might stab you from the side, and someone behind or to the side might have the effect of a back attack. But more often than not, you might think there's still one step left, but before the afterimage disappeared, the assassin's dagger would already be piercing your chest.

Steamed Bun Invasion was hit again, and Ghost Lantern Fire had already landed, kicking out quickly, straight at Steamed Bun Invasion's ankle.

Ankle Shatter!

The damage wasn't high, but it could reduce the opponent's movement speed by 30% for 5 seconds, and within those 5 seconds, it was almost impossible to escape the assassin's entanglement.

Water Dividing Stab, Heart Piercing Stab...

The assassin's various assassination skills began to continuously land on Steamed Bun Invasion's body, blood blossoms constantly dancing under the big pine tree, instantly covering the tree trunk with countless spots.

As expected, it was very easy.

Li Xun smiled. Of course, Void had also studied Steamed Bun's characteristics, knowing that this guy sometimes made unconventional and astonishing moves. However, under his own continuous, compact, and high-rhythm fast attack, no matter what tricks he had, what wild and fanciful ideas he had, there were no openings, so how could he display them?

Blade Storm!

Li Xun simply and directly sent another set of continuous assassination ultimate moves, the blood blossoms splashing even more crazily.

Enough.

Li Xun calculated in his mind, the finishing move of Blade Storm was coming out, a straight stab sending Steamed Bun Invasion sliding backwards.

While sliding backwards, Steamed Bun Invasion had a period of stiffness, and Ghost Lantern Fire also had a finishing move stiffness. This safe period was something that many ultimate moves created when they finished.

But players would always think of various ways to minimize the impact of this finishing move safe period, in order to continue the offensive.

Of course, Li Xun, at the professional level, also had his calculations. He had already seen through the terrain and the standing distance between the two sides when he unleashed this ultimate move. The final straight stab sent Steamed Bun Invasion away, but the backward slide was only four character spaces, already crashing into the big pine tree behind him. This crash slightly prolonged Steamed Bun Invasion's stiffness, and more importantly, the distance between the two sides hadn't been pulled too far apart, only four character spaces.

That was enough!

The experienced Li Xun smiled confidently, Ghost Lantern Fire, following like a shadow.

Following Like a Shadow was an assassin's advanced movement skill, but it wasn't so free and easy to control. After selecting a target, the character would rush to the target at an extremely fast speed.

A distance of four character spaces, Following Like a Shadow, and then, Sacrifice Strike!

Ghost Lantern Fire had already completely burned away his life in the process of Following Like a Shadow, and the damage of this Sacrifice Strike was enough to instantly kill Steamed Bun Invasion.

A series of afterimages were left behind, and Ghost Lantern Fire's Following Like a Shadow instantly slid out three character spaces, only one step away from stabbing Steamed Bun Invasion.

Three steps, perhaps that was the more perfect idea. Such thought suddenly flashed through Li Hua's mind, because he saw Steamed Bun Invasion suddenly move at this moment, obviously ending his stiff state. The slight extension achieved by the collision wasn't enough to support Ghost Lantern Fire to complete the four steps.

Four steps, not perfect, but enough.

At this distance of one step, what other skill could be faster than Following Like a Shadow? Instantaneous Movement? Shadow Clone Technique? Substitution Technique? Those skills probably wouldn't have time to activate within this one-step distance, and besides, Steamed Bun Invasion wouldn't even know those skills.

Li Xun liked to take risks, but he didn't lose his cool. Bold and meticulous, this was the foundation for him to become an excellent professional player.

One-hit kill!

Yes, one-hit kill, but the one being killed was...

Li Xun looked at the shadow under the tree in surprise, and saw, to his surprise, that Steamed Bun Invasion had actually arrived in front of him, and the despicable claws on his fist had pierced into Ghost Lantern Fire's chest.

Li Xun lowered his view to take a look.

At this distance of one step, Ghost Lantern Fire had snatched a third of a step, but Steamed Bun Invasion had snatched two-thirds of a step.

So Steamed Bun Invasion's attack was faster, and Ghost Lantern Fire's Sacrifice Strike was originally prepared to be used after that two-thirds of a step.

"Whoa, I finally got a chance to use it." Li Xun saw Steamed Bun shouting in the chat.

Then: "Eh, how did you die? Whoa, this move is so powerful??"

What move was so powerful?

Li Xun's perspective was following Ghost Lantern Fire's fall, and he saw the shadow under the big pine tree disappearing.

Flickering Thrust?

An eye for an eye?

When did he use Flickering Thrust to attack? Did this guy open An Eye for an Eye back then? After stealing it, he used it when he was only one step away from death, and then, counter-killed himself?

Speaking of Flickering Thrust, the movement within one character space was indeed faster than Following Like a Shadow. If all of this was Steamed Bun's plan, Li Xun would be shocked by how terrifying this guy was, but at this moment, seeing the last two sentences Steamed Bun typed, Li Xun only felt absurd. This match was too absurd. He actually lost like this?

What kind of dogshit luck was this!

Li Xun sat in his seat, stunned for a long time, until the referee came over to remind him.

Li Xun walked out of the competition booth. The atmosphere at the scene was filled with cheers but also with some hesitation. The problem lay in Steamed Bun's last two sentences. If he hadn't been so talkative, everyone would have thought that he was prepared all along, that he had been patient, waiting for Li Xun to unleash his ultimate move. But as soon as those two sentences came out, the wonderful atmosphere was completely gone, and everyone had the same thought as Li Xun: He won just like that?

But no matter what, winning was winning. Being able to get 1 point, as a supporter of Happy, there was no reason not to be happy, right? Even if it was such a ridiculous, absurd situation, where even the winner probably didn't understand what was going on. But speaking of which, this winner who didn't understand the victory entered the state after the victory quite quickly, running around the competition field for a week after coming out of the competition booth.

"Victory!" Steamed Bun shouted.

The home crowd always cheered, clapping their hands.

"10 to 1!" Steamed Bun shouted.

Aww aww aww! Everyone followed along, but quickly realized, what the hell was this 10 to 1 phenomenon? What was going on?

Fortunately, Steamed Bun also immediately realized that he had blurted out the wrong thing.

"10 to 0!" he shouted again.

Aww aww aww! This time it was correct, everyone echoed again.

Steamed Bun, who had run a circle, ran into Li Xun walking down from the competition stage, shaking his hand without blushing or skipping a beat.

"You played well!" Steamed Bun said.

"You... you were also very good." Li Xun said, honestly, what he really wanted to say was "Your sister," but the damned referee happened to be too close.

"Keep up the good work." Steamed Bun patted him and ran away, then passed by Void's player area, waving to them. The Void players looked at each other, not knowing whether to respond, but Steamed Bun had already passed by quickly.

Finally returning to his own player area, Steamed Bun celebrated with everyone.

"Well, it's good that you won." Ye Xiu nodded and said.

This match, it was really embarrassing to say that this was some kind of Steamed Bun's incredible imagination, or heavenly horse soaring through the skies kind of operation... It could only be said that the An Eye for an Eye he inexplicably used at the beginning stole a Flickering Thrust, which brought good luck to Steamed Bun.

Yes, good luck.

The key to winning this match was good luck, something that could make hard work and sweat, talent and ability, pale in comparison in an instant: luck.

"With that kind of luck, you'd probably win even if you were lying down!" Wei Chen sighed.

Of course, this was a bit of an exaggeration, but it could be considered a strong commentary on this match.

The one who lost over there must be very wronged, right? Ye Xiu looked towards Void's player area, but speaking of which, if he hadn't been so persistent in playing one-hit kill, perhaps such a lucky event wouldn't have happened.

Luck, in the end, could only come into play when the strength difference wasn't too big. The thing about winning the match while lying down wouldn't really happen.
