Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1489 Breakthrough
This team duel had so many changes, and so fast.
Neither side had a fixed style of play, or rather, they couldn't follow one path to the end against their opponent's responses. They could only go back and forth, constantly adjusting and readjusting.
Who was superior, who was inferior?
In terms of offense, Blue Rain was more proactive, while Happy's formation was somewhat scattered. However, careful observers noticed: Did Blue Rain still have the advantage of being upwind in the wind zone, which they had at the beginning?
Not much anymore.
Warlock Warlock Soksar's incantations wouldn't be strengthened by the strong winds; he was more protected in the wind zone. Similarly, the healer Xu Jingxi's Soul Speaker was only slightly protected in the wind zone.
In terms of attack power, Blue Rain had virtually nothing to rely on. On the other hand, Happy's Fang Rui's Haimo Liang truly occupied the upwind position in the wind zone.
Yu Wenzhou maneuvered Soksar, not giving Fang Rui a chance to target him. As a result, Haimo Liang waved his palm and fired a qi blast, as fast as a shooting star, from the wind zone.
Zheng Xuan's Gun Fire Rain hurriedly dodged. Having been blasted out of the wind zone by Haimo Liang, he had been paying attention to the opponent's movements! This guy pretended to be maneuvering to attack Soksar, but instead adjusted his angle and hit Gun Fire Rain again.
Zheng Xuan was indignant and Gun Fire Rain returned a shot at Haimo Liang.
But affected by the gale, Gun Fire Rain's shot...
"Hahahaha," Fang Rui's screen-filling laughter was the answer. Then, Haimo Liang rubbed and waved his hands again.
Qi Blade!
The already difficult-to-catch qi blade was accelerated by the gale, making its trajectory even harder to discern. Zheng Xuan didn't have time to think, let alone see clearly, so he hurriedly had Gun Fire Rain continue to roll.
Was the qi blade coming?
Zheng Xuan didn't notice anything unusual. Soksar in the wind zone suddenly staggered, almost falling to the ground.
What was going on?
Everyone was stunned. Lord Grim? Mu Rain Orange Wind? Steamed Bun Invasion? None of them had attacked Soksar, so it could only be Fang Rui's Haimo Liang.
"Don't underestimate me!" Fang Rui's Haimo Liang deliberately maintained the posture he had used to release the qi blade. However, his hands were clearly not pointing in the direction of Soksar.
But the gale was howling, and everyone immediately understood.
Haimo Liang's qi blade had taken the effects of the gale into account. He had calculated that under the influence of the gale, the qi blade would be deflected, heading toward Soksar's position.
The gale would change the trajectory of the念气, but it couldn't dissipate its cohesion. With the help of the wind, the impact of the念气 was even stronger.
But this kind of calculation... This was clearly Blue Rain's home map. If their Qigong Master player Song Xiao had made such a precise judgment, everyone wouldn't have been too surprised. But Fang Rui...
Fang Rui had been somewhat transparent before, so the broadcast had only given him a few shots.
Until now, the director suddenly went back and looked at Haimo Liang's movements before, and then realized that Fang Rui's Haimo Liang wasn't just moving; while moving, he was also waving his qi attacks towards the wind zone.
Fang Rui had been calculating the impact of the gale on the念气. This kind of calculation wasn't without reason. But to be able to figure out the impact of the gale in such a short period of time, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he had talent.
Fang Rui and Haimo Liang, who had been transparent before, suddenly became extremely prominent, becoming the focus of the field at this moment.
In the wind, Haimo Liang changed his usual crouching and crawling style. He half-squatted with his knees bent, and his hands moved from in front of his abdomen to in front of his chest. The念气 flowed and settled. Haimo Liang, the Qigong Master who had been made extremely wretched by Fang Rui, suddenly had the demeanor of a grandmaster.
This was...
Another level 75 ultimate skill for Qigong Masters. This skill required chanting and could be charged up. Fang Rui released this ultimate move at this time. Blue Rain wanted to stop him, but it was too late to interrupt. But even so, they still had to attack. If they couldn't interrupt him, they couldn't let Fang Rui charge up Haimo Liang there, right?
Thousand念 Bloom!
Before the opponent could attack, Haimo Liang released his ultimate move, waving only a single palm. But Haimo Liang's whole body's念气 surged, and finally burst out from his palm, somewhat similar to Shining Hundred Strikes. However, the念气 that was finally sprayed out wasn't just gathered at the palm, but sprayed out wildly.
In the end, what people saw were countless Qi Blasts spraying out with this palm, spreading out, and then flying rapidly in all directions in the gale.
Gun Fire Rain, Soksar, and Soul Speaker were all enveloped in this meteor shower-like attack. Thousand念 Bloom shouldn't have been able to cover such a large area, but Fang Rui used the wind and cleverly brought the palm out. These countless Qi Blasts were not so much sprayed out as they were flung out.
Blue Rain's three characters, with Soksar in the very center of this meteor shower-like attack, had nowhere to avoid. The Qi Blasts hit him one after another, and with the help of the impact brought by the wind, Soksar was forced to retreat continuously.
The other two, Xu Jingxi and Zheng Xuan, couldn't care about anything else in order to dodge this wave of attacks.
For a time, Fang Rui's Haimo Liang was fighting three opponents alone!
This time was very short, but the opportunity was rare.
Boom boom boom!
The continuous cannon fire suddenly became more intensive.
Gun Fire Rain and Soksar were restrained one after another, and Su Mucheng's Mu Rain Orange Wind suddenly switched targets, attacking not Night Rain Sounds, but Lu Hanwen's Flowing Cloud.
Lu Hanwen wasn't careless either. He noticed the attack and quickly dodged with Flowing Cloud.
Steamed Bun Invasion, who had been freed, immediately began to swagger.
"Leo, I'm here to fix you!" Steamed Bun shouted in the channel. He had received Ye Xiu's instructions. Once he had an opening, he immediately switched to attack Huang Shaotian's Night Rain Sounds.
The audience booed.
Who do you think you are? You dare to boast that you're going to fix the Sword Saint? Even if the situation might have created some opportunities, do you know what unsportsmanlike conduct is?
The audience couldn't appreciate Steamed Bun's triumphant mood at all. But they could see that as Steamed Bun Invasion moved closer, the connection between him and Lord Grim, which had been cut off earlier, was immediately reestablished.
"I'll leave it to you, Steamed Bun!" Ye Xiu immediately shouted in the channel, responding to Steamed Bun. Lord Grim then tried to retreat.
"Leo, do you dare to fight me three hundred rounds?" Steamed Bun shouted, slamming a brick at the back of Night Rain Sounds' head.
Huang Shaotian scanned all directions, clearing the path of the brick. He only allowed Night Rain Sounds to tilt his head slightly, without any intention of interrupting his attack on Lord Grim.
As a result...
Pa.
It wasn't the brick that hit, it was that Night Rain Sounds' head tilt resulted in him getting slapped in the face.
Rogue skill: Ear Slap. Lord Grim also knew it. This guy pretended to retreat, but took advantage of Huang Shaotian's dodge of Steamed Bun Invasion's brick to suddenly slap him in the face.
One hit landed, and a combo began.
Uppercut. Night Rain Sounds was knocked into the air, followed by a continuous series of attacks that even the fastest-mouthed person couldn't call out move by move.
Unspecialized Rapid Beatdown!
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella flipped and changed into various forms, and Night Rain Sounds, who had been launched into the air with the second move, rolled in mid-air.
However, this offensive didn't last long. Fang Rui's Haimo Liang, after all, hadn't used skills like Thousand念 Bloom without restraint. Blue Rain's three players were positioned far apart, and no matter how well Fang Rui used the wind, he couldn't restrain all three of them all the time.
Gun Fire Rain's attack quickly came to provide support. Huang Shaotian took this opportunity to finally free Night Rain Sounds from the combo. But what should he do next? Blue Rain seemed to have lost direction for a time.
Happy's scattered formation had been reorganized.
Lord Grim and Steamed Bun Invasion fought side by side, Su Mucheng provided long-range support, and An Wenyi provided healing in the center, accepting protection from both ends. And Fang Rui, although he was alone and deep in enemy territory, relied on the wind and was fearless.
What to do?
Many viewers were now paying attention to Blue Rain's team channel.
At this time, there should be some decision-making, some changes, right? The targeted plans from before seemed to have been broken one by one.
Some people were paying attention to the life values of the characters on both teams, calculating who had gained more advantage after this battle.
"Director Li, what do you think?" Commentator Pan Lin was also asking Li Yibo about this question.
"It's too early to say, Blue Rain's next response is crucial," Li Yibo said.
"Of course," Li Yibo then added, "It's also important whether Happy can make good use of this situation."
Happy didn't disappoint Li Yibo. After crushing Blue Rain's tactical intentions bit by bit, it was the perfect time for them to launch a counterattack.
Although Huang Shaotian's Night Rain Sounds had interrupted Lord Grim's combo with the firepower support of his teammates, Happy obviously didn't intend to let him go.
Night Rain Sounds became the focus of Happy's attack, and Lord Grim's attack became the guide for the entire team.
"Go, my Fist of Leo!" Steamed Bun continued to shout. He had previously mocked Blue Rain for attacking with more players than the opponent, but now he was following his Happy teammates in attacking with more players than the opponent, without any sense of embarrassment.
The Blue Rain fans in the audience had no time to boo him; they were all worried about Huang Shaotian!
But at this moment, Lu Hanwen's Flowing Cloud broke through Su Mucheng's firepower blockade and came to support with his heavy sword.
Meteor Style!
Flowing Cloud's heavy sword, Flame Shadow, came so fast. Combined with the explosions behind him, it seemed like he had already entered the formation in a flash of fire.
"Ah, this little devil is amazing," Steamed Bun shouted, flustered by this sword.
Everyone had no time to complain that Lu Hanwen was actually a senior to Steamed Bun. They were amazed that this guy could dodge such a sudden sword.
"If it were a 光剑 (lightsaber)..." Li Yibo exclaimed halfway, then suddenly stopped. He suddenly realized that he had said a little too much. Saying too much would be like criticizing Lu Hanwen for not using a lightsaber instead of a heavy sword. But in fact, Lu Hanwen had done more with a heavy sword than a 光剑 (lightsaber) could, but Li Yibo only cared about his disadvantage in speed.
"Kid, I admire you! You at least have more guts than Leo. You are a worthy opponent!" Steamed Bun continued to shout.
"I'm going to kill you, you bastard! I've been putting up with you for a long time! Turn around and let me cut you into pieces with my sword!" Huang Shaotian, who was shot even while lying down, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
