Chapter 1

Could Mu En attack Hanyan Rou?

Everyone tensely watched this point on the battlefield, and then they heard a "swoosh" sound. Sharp sword energy, along with the sound of a blade colliding with a sheath, instantly swept out in a circle.

"A Battōjutsu? So close!" Li Yibo exclaimed.

Yes, the distance between Lord Grim and Wang Bu Liu Xing was so close. At this distance, in the experience of those on the sidelines, there was no room for Battōjutsu to be executed. Before the blade could even leave the sheath, it would probably be blocked by the close-range opponent.

But at this moment, Lord Grim's Battōjutsu successfully swept out a circle. Not only did Wang Jiexi, who was within striking distance, not block it, but he was actually dodging. And Mu En behind him was instantly exposed to the sword energy of this Battōjutsu. Gao Yingjie's reaction was never slow, but at this time, it was too late no matter what he did. A spray of blood scattered in the air. He, who had charged over aggressively, was instantly knocked back by Lord Grim's Battōjutsu.

How could that Battōjutsu be executed?

Everything happened so fast that no one noticed that moment. Slow motion? The battle situation was so intense that there was no time for slow motion. Among everyone, perhaps only Wang Jiexi knew why the Battōjutsu could be executed, because... Lord Grim had the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella!

The umbrella ribs above were flipped into spear form, deflecting the attack of Extinguishing Star Dust. At the same time, the bottom drew the sword, transforming into sword form to execute Battōjutsu. It was precisely because of this opening that Lord Grim could complete such a close-range Battōjutsu. If it were a normal swordsman class, it would be impossible to deflect an opponent's attack and execute Battōjutsu at the same time. In other words, this was an attack rhythm that only the unspecialized Lord Grim possessed, an unspecialized quick-attack style that no one could break.

This kind of thing, if you don't experience it firsthand, it's really hard to notice!

Wang Jiexi sighed inwardly, but he had already launched a counterattack immediately after dodging the sword light of the Battōjutsu.

"Little Bie behind you!" At the same time, he sent a message.

Swoosh!

Another Battōjutsu was executed. Liu Xiaobie didn't even look. His Flying Swordsman had already half-turned and sent out a sword qi. Behind him, Boundless Sea was charging over rapidly. Of course, Fang Rui couldn't see Wang Jiexi's reminder. This sword came extremely suddenly, but unfortunately, it wasn't the most perfect attack distance. After all, Wang Jiexi was also in the midst of a fierce battle. It was already good enough that he could send a message. He didn't have the time to help Liu Xiaobie calculate the timing.

The slightly longer distance gave Fang Rui enough reaction time. Boundless Sea lightly and skillfully jumped backward, dodging this sword. But Liu Xiaobie couldn't ignore Boundless Sea behind him and continue to pounce on Little Cold Hands. He immediately made his own judgment, raised his sword, and attacked Boundless Sea.

At this moment, Little Cold Hands lifted his cross and began chanting. A holy white light, like a flame, leaped on the cross.

"Little Bie behind you!" On the field, the five Micro Grass members, with their overlapping vision, would naturally remind each other when they saw this kind of sneak attack. At this time, the one who saw Little Cold Hands chanting a spell was Micro Grass's healer, Yuan Baiqing. He saw at a glance that Little Cold Hands wasn't going to heal, but to attack. It was a Holy Fire.

Liu Xiaobie saw the reminder again, but he also knew what kind of character was behind him. A chop couldn't stop the opponent's attack. At this time, he could only dodge!

Footwork, turn! Flying Swordsman quickly flashed to the side. Next, he didn't dare to let either Boundless Sea or Little Cold Hands out of his sight. He was already looking for a better position. As for Little Cold Hands' attack, he had undoubtedly dodged it, right?

Yes, he had dodged it. Holy Fire hadn't touched Flying Swordsman at all. The moment the holy white flame leaped up, Yuan Baiqing realized something was wrong from the shift in Little Cold Hands' posture.

"Captain!" He didn't expect that Little Cold Hands' Holy Fire wasn't aimed at Liu Xiaobie's Flying Swordsman, but at Wang Jiexi's Wang Bu Liu Xing.

His previous, incorrect hint not only interrupted Flying Swordsman's attack on Boundless Sea, but also caused Wang Jiexi to relax his vigilance on this side.

Damn it!

Yuan Baiqing was filled with remorse. But even if he repeated the scene just now, what should he have done? Little Cold Hands' mastery of the timing of casting spells was so precise that he could complete the positioning adjustment just before the last moment of the spell's release. Even if he had realized that the opponent was going to attack Wang Bu Liu Xing and gave a warning, Little Cold Hands would probably have adjusted the Holy Fire to be aimed at Flying Swordsman at that moment.

The opponent was simply counterattacking based on Micro Grass's response. It was no use to warn, and warning wouldn't be effective. Perhaps the only feasible thing was to interrupt the spellcasting beforehand. It was a pity that everything was too late now. The holy white Holy Fire instantly ignited. Wang Jiexi, who was enduring the unspecialized quick-attack style, had no time to care about anything else. An Wenyi's prediction was so precise that the Holy Fire seemed to have gone out the moment it leaped up. But everyone had seen Wang Bu Liu Xing instantly covered in the holy white flame.

Well done!

Wang Bu Liu Xing's perspective obviously shifted slightly towards Little Cold Hands, as if he had glanced at this young man on the other side.

But how much use could it be?

Wang Jiexi didn't panic at all. Apart from slightly turning his head to look at Little Cold Hands, he didn't make any extra movements or pauses. What Wang Bu Liu Xing was doing before, he was still doing now. The three-second skill seal of Holy Light might be fatal, but for a Magician, close combat attacks primarily relied on various magical items to increase the power of the broom. They didn't have any direct casting attack skills. The broom power enhanced by items ultimately manifested as ordinary attacks.

And now, these three seconds only meant that Wang Bu Liu Xing had lost the support of magical items, and his attack power was somewhat weaker. He wouldn't have any particularly powerful attack effects for three seconds. This couldn't be considered a trump card for a Magician. He didn't even need to interrupt his offensive. Ordinary attacks were what Wang Bu Liu Xing was using all along!

Extinguishing Star Dust still swept over in the same way. Lord Grim waved the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, parrying!

But the moment he blocked Extinguishing Star Dust, Lord Grim suddenly leaned to the side.

A seemingly meaningless action, but a bright light appeared before Wang Jiexi's eyes.

Heat-seeking missile!

Sweep it away? Extinguishing Star Dust had just been parried to the side by the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, and there wasn't enough time.

Dodge? The attack range of heat-seeking missiles was extraordinary, and Wang Bu Liu Xing was still sealed by Holy Fire, without the flying ability of Broom Mastery.

The other team members couldn't make it in time to help. Wang Jiexi could only watch helplessly as the incendiary device fell at his feet. The heat-seeking missile spat fire and fell rapidly with a whistling sound that pierced the clouds.

Boom!

The rolling mushroom cloud instantly engulfed Wang Bu Liu Xing's figure. The other Micro Grass members could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything, and even had to be careful not to be caught in the shock waves of the explosion.

The three-second effect of Holy Fire also ended at this time, but all of Excellent Era's attacking characters simultaneously attacked the shaking figure in that cloud of smoke, which had not yet disappeared.

Blinding Light!

Raging Dragon Pierces Heart!

Magnetic Storm!

Three characters, three directions, plus Lord Grim, who was right next to Wang Bu Liu Xing. The attacks were so reckless. Micro Grass didn't just have Wang Jiexi. They also had Xu Bin, Gao Yingjie, and Liu Xiaobie, but Excellent Era completely ignored these three attackers, even when their attacks were bombarding Excellent Era's characters.

Perhaps they couldn't stop it, but they could at least interfere. As long as there was a slight gap in the opponent's coordinated formation, Wang Jiexi would definitely be able to control Wang Bu Liu Xing to break free. All the Micro Grass players were extremely confident in this. They each chose the fastest way to attack.

Star Line Fold! Gao Yingjie's Mu En threw out another star card.

Roar! Xu Bin's Solitary Tyrant roared, releasing the Knight's aggro-drawing skill.

Shadow Sword Steps! Liu Xiaobie's Flying Swordsman instantly transformed into eight figures, swarming up to interfere with Excellent Era's attack.

Even Lu Baiqing's Winter Cicada Summer Grass was watching, and when no one paid attention to him, he quietly began chanting a Hypnosis spell.

Whose skill would be faster?

After the star cards of Star Line Fold shattered, star rays flew out, touching each of Excellent Era's characters. However, Mu Yu Orange Wind's magnetic storm had already been launched. At this time, attacking the characters couldn't deflect the angle of the magnetic storm flying through the air.

Cold Mist Soft, hit by the fold line, her body skewed, but the Fire Dance Meteor in her hand still maintained the previous thrusting angle unchanged under her control.

Boundless Sea, Fang Rui once again displayed the calculations of a Wretched Stream master. Before the star rays struck, he intentionally turned his character slightly, so this attack helped Boundless Sea adjust back the attack angle that he had turned.

Lord Grim, that was even simpler. He raised the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and ignored everything else.

What about Solitary Tyrant's roar?

The Knight's aggro-drawing skill was truly the bane of this kind of focused-fire moment, but Xu Bin wasn't too optimistic. He had the Knight's roar, but his opponents weren't completely without a way to deal with it.

Composure!

Fang Rui's Boundless Sea immediately stopped his Blinding Light after Solitary Tyrant's roar and released Composure. It dispelled and immunized fear, taunt, and other abnormal states within the range of friendly characters.

Knowing that the opponent had a Qi Master, Xu Bin had expected this. But at least it made Boundless Sea interrupt his Blinding Light, which could be considered creating an opening, right?

Through the lingering smoke, Wang Bu Liu Xing's figure rushed towards Boundless Sea's location as expected. But in the next second, Lord Grim had already flashed in front of him.

Change direction!

Wang Bu Liu Xing swept his broom, changing direction in the air, folding and flying low.

Arc Flash!

A streak of cold light, Lord Grim once again stuck close to Wang Bu Liu Xing.

Change direction again!

Wang Bu Liu Xing directly turned ninety degrees.

Charge, Lord Grim slanted in front of him.

Change again!

This time, Wang Bu Liu Xing flew diagonally into the high sky.

Buzz buzz buzz buzz... Wang Jiexi then heard the sound of mechanical rotors. Lord Grim also flew up.

Too slow! Wang Jiexi felt it was absurd to watch Lord Grim use that skill to fly up and intercept him.

"Captain behind you!" But then he saw his teammates' prompts in the chat, a full four lines, one line per person.

Too late.

Raging Dragon Pierces Heart, piercing through the heart.
