Chapter 231 Not Giving an Inch

The two characters gradually approached each other, and the match seemed to have returned to the scene of the previous round in an instant. Everyone's hearts were on the line again, waiting for that moment to arrive.

But before the audience could even react, the two characters suddenly sped up.

"They've found each other!" Pan Lin shouted.

The audience's God's-eye view was clearer than the players' in seeing the overall situation, but if they wanted to delve into the situation, they still had to rely on the players' first-person perspective. The broadcast screen, and the electronic screens on-site, all showed the first-person perspectives of the two characters just now.

In that instant, Huituren's whereabouts in the gully, and One Autumn Leaf on the edge of the gully, both slightly swept a figure into their field of vision, and neither escaped their eyes. The characters charged and collided!

*Boom!*

A cloud of purple smoke.

Without even exchanging blows, Huituren actually threw out a Smoke Bomb first, and then immediately flashed out of the range of the purple smoke.

Was he running?

No!

Flashing out, then back in, Mo Fan controlled Huituren, and performed this trick of going in and out. Could this shake Sun Xiang?

Mountain Shattering Strike!

Sun Xiang took out the most forceful response. Inside the purple smoke, unaware of Huituren's movements, he unleashed a level 75 ultimate move without hesitation.

*Boom!*

The battle lance, Evil Annihilation, slammed into the ground, and magical battle qi roared, stirring the purple smoke like boiling water.

Huituren once again ran out of the purple smoke, his figure shaking as if he was out of control. It was obvious that he had been impacted by this blow, and his health had decreased. Sun Xiang, in the most heroic and forceful way, had broken Mo Fan's trick.

Dragon Rises from the Sea!

Evil Annihilation shook again, and a wave of magical battle qi rolled out like water, completely washing out a gap in the purple smoke. Outside the gap, Huituren's figure was completely exposed in front of Sun Xiang's eyes.

Charge!

Howling Dragon Pierces the Ruins!

One Autumn Leaf charged out of the smoke with his spear, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Huituren. Sun Xiang didn't expect this attack to directly hit his opponent, but instead used this ultimate move as a movement skill.

Arcane Flash!

Mo Fan was surprising again. Huituren didn't retreat but advanced. With the assassin skill Arcane Flash, Huituren rushed forward at top speed, wanting to brush past Howling Dragon Pierces the Ruins.

Sun Xiang was shocked and quickly made adjustments, sweeping Evil Annihilation horizontally, but it was already too late. Huituren had already swept past him.

Suddenly, the two characters seemed to have completed a swap, but at the instant of passing by, both of them quickly and forcefully canceled their skills, stopped, and turned back.

Dragon Tooth, One Autumn Leaf turned around, and Evil Annihilation stabbed out quickly.

Hit!

However, a puff of smoke appeared, and it was Shadow Clone Technique again.

Sun Xiang didn't hesitate at all. As One Autumn Leaf turned around, he swept his battle lance out, using a Tyrannical Sweep, unleashing an attack range of a full 270 degrees.

But...

Earth Tunneling Slash!

It was Earth Tunneling Slash again. Drilling out from underground, it struck One Autumn Leaf's jaw when he was making the tyrannical sweep.

Ninjutsu: Empty Cicada Double Kill!

Huituren's combo followed quickly, flawlessly. Sun Xiang knew it was bad when he was hit by Earth Tunneling Slash, and had already focused his spirit. But this attack that followed was so fast, so accurate, and without any flaws.

And then...

Severing Annihilation, Swift Wind Shuriken, Ninjutsu: Shadow Dance!

It was also a five-skill combo, and it was also Mo Fan's operation under full concentration, leaving Sun Xiang with no choice. However, this time, the last skill was the ultimate move, Shadow Dance, which was a skill that could be continuously operated, requiring far more operations than other skills. For Mo Fan, whose limit of attention was five skills, if he used this skill, he shouldn't have put it in the five-skill combo unless he didn't do continuous operations. Operating this skill required more effort than two, three, or even four skills.

And in professional-level confrontation, it was impossible not to do continuous operations with Shadow Dance.

The audience didn't know that Mo Fan had this kind of limit, and only felt that this was a wonderful climax, and the audience burst into applause.

But the players of Team Happy knew that Mo Fan's move was really a challenge to his own limits, and not just a little bit of a challenge, but throwing himself into a desperate situation all at once.

"Too forced!" Wei Chen said.

"But with this skill, he can at least retreat safely, right?" Fang Rui said.

"But... he doesn't seem to have that intention." Su Mucheng was the one in Team Happy who could still have a little communication with Mo Fan, although it was very, very little.

"Yes, he doesn't..." Ye Xiu watched the match. After Huituren used Shadow Dance, more than a dozen shadow clones pounced on the attack, without leaving himself any way out. But at this time, his attention was already at its limit. Could he still control this skill at a super high level?

*Boom!*

With a muffled sound, one of Huituren's shadow clones flew out of the crowd of people. One Autumn Leaf's Fallen Flower Palm posture had not been fully retracted yet, and the battle lance Evil Annihilation in his other hand had already flashed out, turning into an incomparably surging magical battle qi.

Soaring Dragon Annihilation!

Following closely behind Fallen Flower Palm, the Soaring Dragon Annihilation was unleashed. It didn't even wait for this Huituren to be knocked away before it caught up, fiercely biting him, and the magical battle qi blasted all the way, swallowing him whole. The other shadow clones disappeared one by one in an instant. Everyone knew that Sun Xiang had accurately struck Huituren's Shadow Dance heart.

"As expected, it's still forced..." Ye Xiu sighed.

Mo Fan wanted to surpass his limits, but this step was always too big. With his spirit somewhat scattered, his operation of this Shadow Dance finally left a flaw, which Sun Xiang instantly captured and defeated in one fell swoop.

The audience didn't know the mystery behind it, and only knew that the two of them were fighting back and forth, and the battle was very exciting and lively. The audience screamed again and again, and the commentators Pan Lin and Li Yibo in the TV broadcast also greatly admired Mo Fan for being so unexpected, and that he could actually fight Sun Xiang on equal footing.

"I hope so..." Ye Xiu was a little worried at this time. Bursting out one after another, and challenging his limits, was Mo Fan a little too excited in this round? This... seemed to be a sign of being out of control, right?

The retraction of Soaring Dragon Annihilation was relatively long, and it was difficult to add a combo after this ultimate move. Sun Xiang could only launch an offensive with One Autumn Leaf again after this strike.

"Mo Fan was taking the initiative to attack before, but now it seems that it's Sun Xiang's turn. One Autumn Leaf charges up, how will Mo Fan respond? Huituren... Huituren ran away... I..." Pan Lin forcibly swallowed the swear word that came to his lips. But Mo Fan's response was really depressing! Such a wonderful head-to-head, how exciting would it be if everyone went back and forth. Mo Fan launched an offensive, and Sun Xiang had such a wonderful response, couldn't you give the audience something back like that? As soon as the other side counterattacks, you immediately run away, without any hesitation. Where's the courage to confront Sun Xiang head-on? Where's the skill to be on par with your opponent?

"This... this Mo Fan's tactical awareness is still very clear! He's not acting impulsively at all," Li Yibo said.

"But in a match, there's no need to rigidly execute predetermined arrangements! Young people should be more passionate, and being so rigid and mechanical is a bit boring," Pan Lin said.

"Hehe, maybe he thinks it's more interesting this way?" Li Yibo responded lightly. At this moment, he still exuded the light of a former professional player. Only by standing from the perspective of a professional player can one say such empathetic words. Interesting? What is interesting? Is it interesting to have a passionate and heroic head-to-head collision, a wild speed of hand movements? That's just your definition as an audience. For every professional player, the way they choose to fight is what they think is most interesting. Perhaps there are also some people who deliberately play in a style that pleases the audience. This is probably the atmosphere formed after commercial promotion in this circle. But Li Yibo, as an old-school player, still resists this somewhat mercenary atmosphere in his heart. He likes to see players stick to their own ways, even if there may be many things in it that he, an outdated old guy, can't understand...

Li Yibo's bland sentence made Pan Lin a little dazed, and he couldn't pick up the conversation for a while. On the field, Mo Fan's Huituren jumped away very neatly, and once again used the gullies that were everywhere on this map to hide.

"He's still quite sober-minded!" Fang Rui exclaimed.

"Yes, he's not as impulsive as you think!" Su Mucheng said to Ye Xiu.

"This kind of forced outbreak beyond the limit may also be a kind of bewilderment to the opponent. This kid must have secretly watched my fighting style, and absorbed a lot of valuable things from it!" Wei Chen said with emotion.

"No bottom line?" Baozi asked.

"Bastard, you learned that from your boss!" Wei Chen scolded.

"Of course, Boss is the best at everything," Baozi said proudly.

"Hahaha, I don't deny that in this regard!" Wei Chen laughed heartily, extremely satisfied with Baozi's stab at Ye Xiu.

"Baozi doesn't understand, don't pretend to be stupid with him. You're the one who's most shameless," Ye Xiu said.

"Don't be modest, you're the strongest at everything!" Wei Chen emphasized the word "most."

"You..."

"Mo Fan is still in the match, and you guys are talking about this nonsense here!" Chen Guo was angry and shouted.

"Hey, boss, relax, relax," Wei Chen quickly called out. "Mo Fan's fine."

"Is that so?"

"As long as he can maintain the rhythm," Ye Xiu said. "The opponent can't see through him yet. Old Wei is right, his forced burst is misleading to the opponent, and the opponent will be cautious because of it. This is his chance."

"Mo Fan..." Chen Guo didn't say the second half of her sentence. In fact, she wanted to express her surprise that Mo Fan could defeat Sun Xiang, but then she thought that this kind of surprise would be a kind of harm to her own players, so she held back. But in her heart, she was really surprised that Mo Fan had progressed to this point.

Can he really win? Chen Guo looked at the stage.

Mo Fan didn't disappoint everyone. When Huituren's health was 14% remaining, One Autumn Leaf finally fell. Chen Guo's unspoken surprise was shouted out by Pan Lin for her.
