The Xingxin team met up with their healer in time, and the Xingxin fans at the scene cheered, much to the disappointment of the Tyranny fans.

But what happened after they met up?

The Tyranny fans quickly regained their composure because Xingxin didn't gain an advantage just by meeting up. They completed their rendezvous, and Tyranny also coordinated with Han Wenqing. Based on the previous team distribution, one side had Han Wenqing chasing and bullying Xingxin's healer, while the other side had Tyranny suppressing the four Xingxin members without a healer.

Xingxin, not gaining an advantage on either side, only formed an equal situation with Tyranny upon meeting up. But how could the disadvantage brought about by the early suppression be reversed by just an equal situation?

Xingxin didn't linger there at all. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim charged forward, and with the cooperation of his teammates, forced back Han Wenqing's Desert Dust in two moves. Then, the entire Xingxin team immediately turned and left, clearly intending to retreat.

How could Tyranny let them go so easily? Now was a good opportunity to establish a winning advantage. Tyranny was not afraid of a direct head-on clash.

Without any more concealment or restraint, Tyranny instantly transformed into the Tyranny everyone was familiar with, domineeringly pouncing towards the Xingxin team that was showing signs of retreating.

Xingxin didn't fight.

Trees, grass, buildings...

Xingxin used everything they could to their advantage, resolutely implementing their intention to retreat.

However, team retreat has both advantages and disadvantages compared to individual running.

The advantage is that they can assist each other and have more diverse choices. The disadvantage is that if one person makes a mistake, it could affect everyone.

"2 o'clock, 11 o'clock!"

Just then, a message suddenly flashed in Tyranny's team channel, not from their usual commander, but from Lin Jingyan!

2 o'clock, 11 o'clock, the clock positioning method. Seeing Lin Jingyan's message, the Tyranny players immediately locked onto those two positions. Then, very quickly, the nearest characters rushed towards the two directions.

Although Lin Jingyan wasn't the commander, there must be a reason for sending such a message at this time.

Desert Dust turned towards the 2 o'clock direction; Dazzling Hundred Blossoms flashed towards the 11 o'clock direction.

Soon, the two locked onto the targets they were going to attack after seizing the position.

Empty Waves!

Fang Rui's Empty Waves.

Lin Jingyan, relying on his familiarity with this old teammate, found the opportunity to capture him. Han Wenqing and Zhang Jiale unhesitatingly executed his judgment, immediately locking Empty Waves in a three-person encirclement.

Three-in-one!

The three launched an offensive without hesitation.

Lin Jingyan was too familiar with Fang Rui's fighting style. His master-level Wretched Flow wasn't something everyone could keep up with. Therefore, in team battles, Fang Rui would often be in a wandering state, fighting alone. Lin Jingyan, knowing this well, seized this opportunity to encircle Empty Waves in one fell swoop. And the Xingxin players, because of Fang Rui's wandering state, didn't have time to support him.

Save him now? Of course, it was still possible, but Empty Waves had already been surrounded. To save him, Xingxin would have to temporarily put aside their retreat plan, and it was questionable whether they could quickly help Fang Rui break through the encirclement. This was precisely the disadvantage of a team retreat. Seizing one person could potentially tie down your entire team!

The three veterans attacked Empty Waves together, attacking with unparalleled decisiveness.

But Xingxin was even more decisive. Tyranny's side focusing on one person relieved the pressure on Xingxin's side. Zhang Xinjie's Immovable Rock was just a healer with limited means. Relying solely on Qin Muyun's Sharpshooter, it was impossible to keep Xingxin's four members.

So Xingxin ran!

They didn't even hesitate for a moment, abandoning Fang Rui, who was surrounded, with super decisiveness. They didn't treat the surrounded player as a distraction; they treated it as an opportunity.

"How decisive!" Li Yibo couldn't help but exclaim. Xingxin's decisiveness was truly surprising. Sacrificial tactics weren't unheard of, but usually, sacrifices were made to gain an advantage. However, in Xingxin's current situation, the sacrifice didn't give them any advantage. It only allowed them to escape from the very unfavorable situation. And then? Then, lacking Fang Rui, a great general, Xingxin was still at a disadvantage. As long as Tyranny adopted an exchange strategy, Xingxin would be in an extremely difficult position.

Therefore, after marveling at Xingxin's decisiveness, Li Yibo adopted a not-so-optimistic attitude towards it.

"However, it's also a last resort..." After analyzing for a while, Li Yibo changed his tone and said, "Fighting head-on here is indeed too disadvantageous for Xingxin. Sacrificing one person to buy time, redeploying, and taking advantage of their home-court advantage, there's always a chance."

"Is that so?" Pan Lin even seemed doubtful at this point, because the situation that Li Yibo mentioned, where Xingxin was supposedly "buying time," didn't seem to have materialized.

So fast!

Everyone had that impression.

Fang Rui's Empty Waves was eliminated so quickly. It seemed like in the blink of an eye, Empty Waves' name had already turned gray.

The speed also came from decisiveness, Tyranny's decisiveness!

Immediately after Xingxin abandoned Fang Rui and retreated, Zhang Xinjie didn't hesitate at all and immediately instructed the entire team to focus all their fire on Fang Rui's Empty Waves!

He didn't care at all about what Xingxin would do next after escaping, nor did he want to make any detailed plans using the current situation. He quickly eliminated Empty Waves! Because numerical advantage was always the most faithful and reliable advantage on the Glory stage. Since there was such an opportunity in front of him, he would seize it without hesitation!

A Qi Master, a Qi Master whose equipment was cloth armor, had inherently limited defensive stats. Under Tyranny's concentrated fire, under the care of so many veteran players, even Qi Master defensive skills like Nen Barrier and Qi Aura, which could barely help Empty Waves withstand for a little longer, didn't have time to be used. Empty Waves' life was instantly reduced to zero.

Afterward, Tyranny immediately switched targets and chased after the still-clear figure at the other end. Pan Lin's hesitation came from this. Fang Rui's sacrifice didn't seem to have bought much time for Xingxin, did it?

Li Yibo was also stunned. He really didn't expect Tyranny's concentrated firepower to be so powerful, so powerful that it instantly made the wretched Fang Rui lose his resistance and die without being able to struggle at all.

"Xingxin is in trouble!" Li Yibo immediately made a judgment. At this distance, it was completely impossible for the entire team to escape without a trace. Xingxin was still inevitably going to have a direct confrontation, but now, they were one person short.

"Which way is Xingxin preparing to retreat?" Pan Lin called out at this time.

"The substitution zone," Li Yibo had already seen it.

From the moment they abandoned Fang Rui, Xingxin's retreat direction was particularly clear: the substitution zone. This was because their sixth player would definitely enter the game from this closest substitution zone. Xingxin needed to meet up with their sixth player as soon as possible to maintain a five-person team before making further plans.

But what about now?

"They've changed direction!" Pan Lin exclaimed.

"Yes..." Li Yibo also saw it. After Empty Waves fell, after confirming the speed of Tyranny's chase behind them, Xingxin changed direction. The direction of advance didn't seem to be the substitution zone anymore. And Tang Rou, who automatically entered the game, immediately saw the instructions issued by Ye Xiu in the team channel, guiding her to the direction of the rendezvous.

"Xingxin needs to stay as far away from the substitution zone as possible," Li Yibo said. "A head-on attack is likely unavoidable next. The closer they are to the substitution zone, the more advantageous it will be for the Tyranny team."

"Yes!" Pan Lin nodded. There was no need to explain this principle in detail. In a situation with a numerical advantage, exchange tactics are the most common and widespread. Being closer to the substitution zone allows Tyranny, who still has a sixth player, to quickly maintain a five-person lineup after one person leaves the game. But if they are far away, it will take time for the sixth player to enter the game, and Tyranny will have a four-person period for a certain amount of time. This period, as can be seen from the statistics, is often a turning point in Glory team competitions. Especially when fighting with fewer players, this time difference is frequently exploited.

The Tyranny team is experienced, but Xingxin has Ye Xiu in command, so they are not inferior. They made such an adjustment in an instant, which clearly shows that Xingxin has not given up and still wants to fight.

Tyranny chased wildly, and Xingxin couldn't completely shake them off, but they finally met up with their sixth player, Tang Rou's Soft Mist. And the meeting place they chose wasn't just to stay away from the substitution zone. This was clearly the place Xingxin chose for the final battle. Tang Rou's Soft Mist didn't join the team but went ahead to choose a position on her own.

Ambush!

Soft Mist was ambushing. The broadcast specifically cut to the camera at that end, and the audience with a God's-eye view could see it clearly. This was precisely why Li Yibo dared to assert that Xingxin was going to decide the outcome here after seeing Tang Rou's actions.

The TV broadcast thoughtfully listed the data comparison between the two sides at this time, mainly life and mana. No character was out of mana, which was enough to cope with a battle. In terms of life, it was clear that Xingxin had been at a disadvantage all along. The life lost by the characters had no chance to be replenished. An Wenyi's Little Cold Hands had been running away all the time, and he didn't even have time to cast an instant heal.

So they are going to have a final battle like this. Can Xingxin win?

No one dared to be optimistic about Xingxin, even though Tang Rou's Soft Mist was a hidden force. However, with Zhang Xinjie's caution, if he came over and didn't see Tang Rou's Soft Mist with the team, he would probably immediately be wary of this. With the experience of Tyranny's veterans, how much effect could Tang Rou's sneak attack alone have? Moreover, Tang Rou was not a player who was good at sneak attacks. Perhaps letting her stand in front of Tyranny and hold the line would be more effective...

Ye Xiu's four characters entered the area, and the five Tyranny members behind them were not shaken off at all. The broadcast's perspective locked onto Soft Mist, and the audience's attention shifted to this side. No matter what, her ambush was the only thing Tyranny didn't know about at this time. Her sneak attack was probably Xingxin's last hope here!

Soft Mist slowly raised the Fire Dance Meteor in her hand.

Charge! Flying Dragon in the Sky!!
