Chapter 1299 The Truth

Huang Shaotian was somewhat dumbfounded to discover the final truth.

So the rhythm of the entire process was this simple. He came to probe and contain Happy, but of course Happy didn't want to be probed and contained by him, so they turned around and contained him, disrupting his reconnaissance.

Yes, it was just a process of you attacking and me defending. Encirclement might have happened, but not anymore. Happy definitely had their tactics, but these tactics weren't aimed at him, Huang Shaotian, but rather to conceal their movements from him. And now, Happy had succeeded. Huang Shaotian, who came out to scout, was completely unaware of Happy's movements; his reconnaissance was a complete failure.

"Be careful of Happy's movements," Huang Shaotian could only remind his teammates. Although Happy's Ye Xiu no longer seemed like a major obstacle, since they dared to design and arrange things this way, they must have their reasons.

"What about you?" they asked him.

"I'm being pestered by a fly," Huang Shaotian replied.

Bang!

While he was typing and sending messages, Lord Grim's attack came again, a Challenger's Smash from a Battle Mage straight at him. The spear moved diagonally, its trajectory ethereal. In the game, Ye Xiu would hit his target every time, but was Huang Shaotian at the game level? Bingtong blocked with his sword, accurately intercepting the Thousand Chance Umbrella's route. The weapons collided, and both, showing the demeanor of professional experts, took a step back.

Distance opened, come again!

Mountain Crash!

Bingtong only took a small half-step back before immediately slashing forward with his sword.

But Ye Xiu's awareness and control were no less than his. Lord Grim's step back was also a small half-step. As Mountain Crash came down, Lord Grim rolled to the side. Huang Shaotian wanted to manipulate and forcibly turn the sword's angle, but when he looked, Lord Grim's roll directly went beyond the limit of his control.

Ye Xiu wasn't Mo Fan after all; he knew him well! This dodge was so clean that he even dodged all the possible changes and follow-up moves he could make.

Lord Grim, who was rolling and crouching, had already raised the Thousand Chance Umbrella. The tip of the umbrella flipped up, the dark muzzle flashed, a gun fired, and a bullet left the chamber.

Bang!

The bullet hit a hard object, sparks flying in all directions.

Bingtong trembled constantly, emitting a buzzing sound.

The audience erupted in an uproar. At this distance, he could block a shooting attack; what kind of operation was that?

"Not bad luck!" Ye Xiu said.

"This is skill!" Huang Shaotian stubbornly replied. But in his heart, he also admitted that the block just now did have a considerable amount of luck.

"So what's next?"

Boom boom boom!

Anti-tank gun, three-shot burst.

This kind of effect with area-of-effect damage would cause one to be covered in dirt even if they blocked it. So this time, Huang Shaotian didn't block again, but instead had Bingtong directly use his sword, Phantom Invisible Sword.

Sword light instantly intertwined, accompanied by three consecutive flashes of fire. The anti-tank shells were actually directly strangled and exploded by Huang Shaotian with a powerful attack. Although there might still be some damage spreading, it wouldn't hinder his continued advance. The sword light didn't pause at all in the explosion, and then it was already strangling towards Lord Grim.

Whoosh!

The Thousand Chance Umbrella immediately opened. Ye Xiu was also unable to completely avoid this ultimate move, so he could only hold up the umbrella shield to resist. The Thousand Chance Umbrella shield was thin, and its effect of resisting skill impact was weak. Under the storm-like onslaught of Phantom Invisible Sword, Lord Grim slid backward, his legs carving two grooves in the sand.

Until the last strike of Phantom Invisible Sword, all the sword energies converged into one beam, sent out in one strike. With a whooshing sound, the surface of the Thousand Chance Umbrella seemed to be folded in. This strike, which was supposed to blow him away powerfully, was twisted into a retreat due to the shield's neutralization effect. Lord Grim was like surfing on the sand, his feet splitting the fine sand, surging up two waves as he slid backward rapidly.

Phantom Invisible Sword had a mandatory ending lag, and Huang Shaotian regretted that he couldn't immediately chase and kill him at this time. By the time Bingtong's ending lag was over, Lord Grim had almost finished sliding. The umbrella surface retracted, da-da-da-da-da, and directly turned into a Gatling gun, continuously sweeping.

Huang Shaotian spotted a half-collapsed wall nearby and rolled towards it. Bullets hit the wall, sending stone chips flying. Huang Shaotian carefully listened to the rhythm of the bullets colliding with the broken wall. Faster, meaning Ye Xiu was having Lord Grim approach. But at this time, the interval between the impacts seemed to lengthen; Ye Xiu seemed to be having Lord Grim retreat.

Charge!

Bingtong immediately rushed out from behind the broken wall, and as expected, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was retreating while attacking. Seeing Bingtong suddenly burst out, he quickly adjusted the muzzle towards this side. But Huang Shaotian's control didn't stop; the character moved swiftly, and the string of bullets all landed behind him.

Triple Slash!

The swordsman's sword technique, often used for movement, was used again.

One slash, two slashes, three slashes!

Three slashes, three changes of direction, Bingtong elegantly flashed out a curved line, avoiding Lord Grim's continuous shooting and approaching Lord Grim's side.

"Beautiful!" Even Ye Xiu praised him, and then Lord Grim raised his hand and sent a grenade, just in time for the third slash of Bingtong's Triple Slash. The grenade brushed past the sword light and Bingtong was rapidly moving forward...

Boom!

The explosion engulfed Bingtong's entire upper body.

However, grenades were only low-level skills of Grenadiers, with generally weak impact. Bingtong was in the middle of the Triple Slash sword skill movement, and the grenade explosion only slowed down this movement by a few points. Bingtong's upper body was wrapped in the fire and smoke of the explosion, but he still elegantly completed the beautiful movement trajectory of this Triple Slash.

In terms of real damage, this grenade was far worse than the Phantom Invisible Sword that Bingtong had stacked onto the Thousand Chance Umbrella shield earlier. But this kind of attack effect made Bingtong look much more embarrassed. Comparing the two, anyone would feel that Huang Shaotian was more frustrated.

However, Huang Shaotian didn't have this kind of spectator perspective himself, so his mood was good. Seeing that this attack didn't do much damage and his Triple Slash movement wasn't broken, he was quite satisfied. Ignoring the fact that some parts of his upper body might still have flames, Bingtong slashed out again.

Double Stab!

Bingtong took a sliding step forward, and two consecutive sword lights were sent out rapidly.

Puff puff!

Both swords hit, but Huang Shaotian immediately knew something was wrong. Lord Grim's response was too stiff, and the decrease in health after being hit by the sword was also wrong.

It was a Shadow Clone.

Huang Shaotian immediately distinguished it, and his vision quickly turned. Lord Grim's real body was already several positions away, and at this time, he was moving while occasionally turning his head to pay attention to him.

He's really going to leave!

Huang Shaotian operated Bingtong to continue chasing while calculating in his heart.

Lord Grim was rushing towards the direction of the ancient city ruins, was he preparing to join his teammates? In that case, Happy's arrangements were already in place?

"Any anomalies?" Huang Shaotian quickly asked over there.

"Nothing found," Yu Wenzhou replied.

"Ye Xiu is coming this way," Huang Shaotian said.

"Oh? How's your fight going?" Yu Wenzhou replied, it seemed there was really nothing going on on their side, otherwise Yu Wenzhou wouldn't have time to type and chat.

"Unfortunately, I still haven't seen what kind of ultimate move is installed on his umbrella," Huang Shaotian said.

He was entangled with Ye Xiu, but he still held this kind of thought. Because in the individual competition, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim's Thousand Chance Umbrella only showed the gunner's "Laser Gun," this one non-low-level skill. What else was hidden, Blue Rain didn't know, which was a disadvantage for their team competition. So it was rare to have this kind of contact in the team competition, Huang Shaotian wanted to try to get him to use the hidden skills on the Thousand Chance Umbrella, that would be best. But whether it was that Ye Xiu intentionally concealed it, in any case, he didn't use any of them in the few encounters with Huang Shaotian.

"Which location are you deployed in?" Huang Shaotian asked.

"Around 89, 157," Yu Wenzhou replied.

"Received, I'll try my best to drive Ye Xiu over, you guys be prepared," Huang Shaotian said.

"Pay attention to the others from Happy."

"I will."

After the conversation was over, Huang Shaotian immediately switched to the public channel.

"Where are you running!" he shouted. But if he was really just chasing like this, Bingtong wouldn't have any advantage. Huang Shaotian was verbally aggressive, but Ye Xiu seemed to have made up his mind not to entangle with him anymore. Charge, Arc Flash, Colliding Stab, etc., he turned a corner in a puff of smoke and disappeared.

I'm going? So straightforward?

Huang Shaotian couldn't understand it.

Of course, he knew that if they were really racing on the ground, probably no profession could compare to Lord Grim, this unspecialized character. But he still told Yu Wenzhou that he would drive Ye Xiu over, because he didn't expect Ye Xiu to simply dump him like this. In his opinion, with Ye Xiu's despicable cunning, this must be a way to lure him into an ambush or something. However, Huang Shaotian had paid attention to the terrain here, so he wanted to observe and catch up while subtly leading the opponent on.

As a result, Ye Xiu really ignored him and just ran.

"Temporarily lost the target," Huang Shaotian could only report the facts to the team.

"What?"

"That guy ran away, you guys be careful, maybe they're going to launch an attack," Huang Shaotian said.

"You too, they might take you as a breakthrough point first," Yu Wenzhou said.

"I'm eager for that!" Huang Shaotian came out to scout, but he wasn't taken seriously. Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng came together to scare him, and then it was just Ye Xiu alone. He was hoping that Happy could receive him in a grand manner!

Towards the broken wall where Lord Grim disappeared, Bingtong moved up quickly. Approaching, he slowed down and maintained an appropriate distance, then with a lunge, he sent out a slash.

Sword light cut through the air, but there was no one behind the wall. Ye Xiu had used the cover of the wall and disappeared.

But it wouldn't be too far.

Huang Shaotian turned his view, observing and judging where Lord Grim might have gone. On the premise that he wouldn't be discovered by the one chasing behind him, Ye Xiu's choice was only one.

Rush up, then keep an appropriate distance, change direction, move quickly, and send out a slash.

The slash still hit the air, but this time, it was really grand!

Qi Bullet!

The first to attack was Fang Rui's Boundless Sea. The slash just now hit the air because Boundless Sea rolled to avoid it, and he had already started to counterattack. Attacking in this wretched posture was extremely smooth for Fang Rui.
