Hu Die Lan

Chapter 1481 Dangerous Opportunity

Su Mucheng, seeking to hit her target, had already dropped Dancing Rain extremely low, so low that she was within the Sword Master's attack range. The Breaking Void Style was unleashed, and its overwhelming judgment completely disrupted Dancing Rain's form. An attack skill that had been locked onto the muzzle couldn't be retracted in time, and a shell flew out at an angle.

Huang Shaotian remained unmoved. Troubling Rain had already leaped into the air, sword raised.

The sword fell from the sky, an Immortal Guiding the Way.

The two skills were used so quickly that ordinary players couldn't even imagine it.

The sword fell from the sky, completely capturing Dancing Rain's figure, and forcefully pressed her towards the ground.

And when Immortal Guiding the Way was executed, Dancing Rain's figure was already beneath Troubling Rain. This skill, which had a powerful knock-back effect, ended up making Dancing Rain crash even harder to the ground.

This sudden thrust made Dancing Rain fall even more rapidly. Su Mucheng's rhythm for a prepared Ukemi (skill to soften a fall) was disrupted, and she hurriedly readjusted, but she didn't make it in time. Dancing Rain crashed directly onto the ground, and the heavy armor made the dead branches on the forest floor creak.

The life of both characters was reduced by a notch in that instant.

Troubling Rain took a level 75 Hurricane Cannon and was then hit squarely by a charged Quantum Bombardment. He only took two skills, but it took away eleven percent of his life.

Dancing Rain took even more hits during this phase.

From Huang Shaotian's sneak attack, to Reverse Scale Stab, Falling Phoenix Slash, and then to the Breaking Void Style, Sword Falling from the Sky, Immortal Guiding the Way, and so on, all were skills that dealt significant damage, and each hit landed solidly. Dancing Rain's health dropped by eighteen percent in this phase.

Finally.

Troubling Rain had thirty-seven percent of his health left, and Dancing Rain had seventy-one percent.

At the start, their health was sixty-three percent to one hundred percent. Based on this starting point, Troubling Rain took twenty-six percent damage, and Dancing Rain took twenty-nine percent damage.

Huang Shaotian had a slight lead with a three percent advantage in damage.

But this was useless.

He was behind his opponent by thirty-seven percent from the start. Three percent wasn't even ten percent of the difference.

And now, Troubling Rain had even less health left, which was even more disadvantageous for Huang Shaotian.

He couldn't afford to miss any more opportunities. Troubling Rain landed from the air, and the light of the Ice Rain sword swept towards Dancing Rain on the ground.

Unable to complete the Ukemi, this sweep attack was impossible to avoid. Moreover, with her back facing the attack from Troubling Rain, could Su Mucheng seize the opportunity to avoid another sword strike after this one?

Swish!

Another sword light fell, and what splattered was withered branches and fallen leaves. Dancing Rain had already rolled over and half-crouched to the side, her muzzle coldly aimed at Troubling Rain.

Boom!

Gunsmoke rolled.

The muzzle was almost touching his face, and there was no way to avoid such a close-range shot. However, Huang Shaotian relied on his sword being faster than the firing, and even though he couldn't avoid it, he still managed to slash his sword at the top of Dancing Rain's head.

Fresh blood immediately gushed out. From Su Mucheng's perspective, the whole world was red. Glory used all kinds of realistic details to give players a sense of immersion.

Dancing Rain's face was covered in blood, but what about Troubling Rain? He didn't dodge the close-range cannon fire at all, and was immediately engulfed in the rolling smoke, and was blasted away.

As a result, Huang Shaotian actually added another sword strike during the backward flight. The light of the Draw Sword Technique cut through the blossoming and spreading free and unrestrained gunsmoke. By the time Su Mucheng saw the sword light, the blade was already shining in front of her. Huang Shaotian had actually used the smoke to conceal his attack.

Su Mucheng was also preparing an additional attack, but it was immediately deflected by this sword strike, and she simply didn't use the skill. After stabilizing her figure, the smoke in front of her gradually dissipated, and she vaguely saw Troubling Rain landing, rolling, and changing direction to attack again.

Boom boom boom.

Su Mucheng used an Anti-Tank Missile. While bombarding Troubling Rain, she retreated with Dancing Rain.

She played aggressively in this match, but she was always strategically aggressive. It wasn't like she just ignored the distance between them when she became aggressive. When there was an opportunity to exchange attacks with Huang Shaotian, Su Mucheng would engage in a close-quarters bombardment. But when there wasn't such an opportunity, she would still try to create distance and look for a good opportunity.

"What, you want to run again?" Huang Shaotian spammed messages. In fact, he had completely seen through Su Mucheng's strategy and intentions. Her retreating meant that she couldn't find a good attacking opportunity at the moment, so this was the time for Huang Shaotian to seize.

Triple Slash!

Troubling Rain used this skill to move. However, he didn't take the shortest straight line, but instead took a roundabout detour. This was a very clever way to deal with the Flying Artillery movement. Firstly, with Flying Artillery movement, the character moves backwards, so facing the back directly gives the opponent the easiest opportunity to block. Secondly, it's not as easy to change direction in the air with Flying Artillery movement as it is on the ground.

So, maneuvering around had advantages on both the offensive and defensive ends. However, maneuvering also had problems. Because the distance traveled was greater, the time required was naturally longer. And the Flying Artillery movement was very fast, so maneuvering might miss completely.

Therefore, maneuvering wasn't feasible at any time, and depended on the distance between the two characters and the timing of the attack.

Seizing opportunities was Huang Shaotian's specialty, and this roundabout maneuver with Triple Slash was executed extremely beautifully. Viewers could clearly see from the God's perspective that Dancing Rain was adjusting her muzzle in an attempt to catch up with Troubling Rain's movement, but she was ultimately a step behind, until Troubling Rain directly circled around her flank.

Uppercut.

Troubling Rain, striding forward, made an extremely simple uppercut attack, but it struck at a weak point where the opponent had absolutely no way to dodge. Dancing Rain, moving in the air with Flying Artillery, was immediately broken by this attack and floated into the air.

Su Mucheng was also stepping up her actions, and Dancing Rain's muzzle quickly aimed in this direction. In the floating state, gun-type classes weren't particularly afraid. This was because the recoil generated by their shots could cause the character to shift in mid-air, which could disrupt the opponent's control over their character's floating state.

However, as professional players, they naturally didn't just think about breaking free from control. At any time, they would try their best to find opportunities to kill their opponents. Simply avoiding was never a way to solve a match.

And then at this moment, Dancing Rain's muzzle moved, but Su Mucheng's view didn't see Troubling Rain's figure.

Swish!

Another sword struck, both dealing damage and maintaining Dancing Rain's floating state. Su Mucheng quickly scanned her vision to the angles she could turn, but there was still no sign of Troubling Rain.

Shadow Cloaking Step!

The audience was in an uproar. Shadow Cloaking Step could be described as one of Glory's top-tier techniques. Only masters with experience and skill reaching the peak could possibly master this technique. People who could execute Shadow Cloaking Step beautifully in the pro scene were always rare. It had always seemed like a technique that only existed in theory.

And at this moment, Huang Shaotian used the technique of Shadow Cloaking Step while his opponent was floating in the air. If he could perform this flawlessly, then victory would likely be secured.

"But it's difficult," Li Yibo said in a deep voice. "It's too difficult to float-combo a gun-type class to death, let alone a Launcher, let alone a top-tier Launcher expert like Su Mucheng."

"Then let's continue watching," Pan Lin said, a little distracted. This battle was too intense. The two sides were constantly exchanging blows, and neither side had gained a complete upper hand. Various wonderful and high-end operations and techniques were being displayed one after another. Now, Shadow Cloaking Step finally had the opportunity to debut. Could Huang Shaotian use this technique well against Su Mucheng? Could this encounter allow him to catch up to Troubling Rain's disadvantage?

Everyone stared at the sword in Troubling Rain's palm, at the sword lights that were triggered by that sword. They intertwined, sparkled, and placed Dancing Rain on top of them, causing her to roll non-stop.

But Su Mucheng showed no reaction.

As a gun-type profession, even if she randomly fired in a direction at this time, it would greatly disrupt and interfere with the opponent's control of Shadow Cloaking Step, but Su Mucheng had never done so. Dancing Rain had always been floating in the air by Troubling Rain, and she seemed to just be turning her view.

Was she looking for an opportunity? Did she want to create a direct counterattack?

Being controlled by Shadow Cloaking Step, escaping should be the priority, right? Was Su Mucheng being a little too confident by insisting on counterattacking at this time?

Dancing Rain's life was constantly slipping away.

One percent;

Two point three percent;

Zero point nine percent;

Four percent...

One hit after another, different degrees of damage, sometimes low, sometimes high, even those used to adjust Dancing Rain's floating state would leave scars on her body at this time. The damage quickly accumulated, and Dancing Rain's life was constantly decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Sixty percent...

Fifty percent...

The life gap between the two characters was constantly being erased.

Still not moving?

The supporters of Happy were a little restless. No one knew what Su Mucheng was thinking.

Huang Shaotian knew, very, very clearly.

Everyone only noticed that Dancing Rain had not been firing, but no one noticed that although she had not been firing, Dancing Rain's hand cannon muzzle had been adjusting its angle all the time.

Huang Shaotian saw this very clearly, because he had to guard against Dancing Rain firing her cannon to create a shift in position, so seeing the direction of her muzzle in advance would naturally allow him to know the direction of her shift, and he could control it in advance. Huang Shaotian had prepared himself for the floating state of the gun-type class, which was known to be difficult to control.

However, Dancing Rain had never fired her cannon, and Huang Shaotian was physically and mentally exhausted at this time.

Su Mucheng had completely anticipated that he would guard against and prepare for the shift in the movement of her muzzle. Therefore, she only kept changing the position of her muzzle, making Huang Shaotian adjust and adjust. In these short tens of seconds, ordinary people could not know how much Huang Shaotian had concentrated his mind to operate. Shadow Cloaking Step was already very high-end, very complex, and very draining, but now, Su Mucheng had also used such a method to create a greater burden for Huang Shaotian.

That's not right! When Huang Shaotian realized something was wrong, he was already too weak. He realized to his horror that he had not kept up with Dancing Rain's rhythm for adjustment. The opportunity that he was extremely sensitive to had smelled a very dangerous opportunity for him in this battle.
