Chapter 161 The Trap

Offstage, Ye Xiu and the others were joking, but on stage, Qiao Yifan remained completely indifferent to his opponent's mockery. Zheng Shengchao of Team Zhuxian couldn't pinpoint One Inch Ash's movements, but the audience could clearly see from the God's perspective how skillfully One Inch Ash was circling around Zhan Xiangsi.

This kind of play wasn't usually popular, but because of his outstanding performance in the previous match, the audience's tolerance for Qiao Yifan was noticeably higher. Even the commentators were praising Qiao Yifan's patience, saying that it was rare for him to maintain such composure when he was almost a full kill ahead in the individual competition.

"Alright, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash has once again circled behind Zhan Xiangsi. Will he be able to seize a good opportunity this time?" The commentator focused on the match.

"He's getting closer, but this position doesn't seem conducive to a ghostblade's sneak attack. Let's see what Qiao Yifan will do!"

"Oh, he's summoning a ghost array."

"It's an Inferno Array. It seems that Qiao Yifan is also aware that the environment here isn't suitable for controlling with ghost arrays, so he's just trying to deal some damage."

"The Zhuxian player noticed it, turns around, Collapsing Mountain Strike!!! A quick reaction, it seems that Zheng Shengchao has been waiting for Qiao Yifan to make a move."

"Qiao Yifan retreats, it seems that he doesn't think this opportunity is very good. However, Zheng Shengchao obviously doesn't want to let Qiao Yifan escape so easily, he's chasing relentlessly. This kind of contact has happened several times before, and Qiao Yifan has relied on his familiarity with the map to get rid of the pursuit, but this time... it seems that Zheng Shengchao's familiarity with the map has also deepened during the match, he's chasing very closely."

"Hmm... this place..." The commentator said with doubt, suddenly became excited, and the broadcast screen also cut to the place that the commentator was concerned about. As soon as the audience saw it, they immediately understood that this place was very similar to the terrain where Qiao Yifan killed his opponent in the previous round.

The show is about to begin! All the viewers were excited, some even started clapping, and the supporters of Team Happy were already excitedly shouting.

The people from Team Zhuxian were extremely nervous at this time. This feeling of being an onlooker was not good at all. They watched as their partner fell into the opponent's trap, but they couldn't do anything. Half of the players of Team Zhuxian stood up, and although the boss, Xiao Jie, remained seated, his anxious expression was obvious, and there was even a hint of hatred in his eyes. Obviously, he was extremely dissatisfied with his own players falling into the same trap repeatedly.

Under the anticipation of everyone, Zheng Shengchao didn't disappoint, and his Zhan Xiangsi finally took the last step.

A ghost array almost covered Zhan Xiangsi's head the moment he took this step. Qiao Yifan had calculated the time and started casting the skill in advance, and by this time, the reading bar was just completed.

Zheng Shengchao was slightly surprised, but he didn't panic too much. He couldn't wait for Qiao Yifan to stop and fight him! At this moment, he used a Charging Stab, and Zhan Xiangsi charged towards One Inch Ash. One Inch Ash sidestepped and dodged, and exchanged positions with Zhan Xiangsi.

After the Charging Stab, Zhan Xiangsi turned his perspective, and Zheng Shengchao finally saw the surrounding terrain clearly, and his heart sank. He shouted badly. But at this time, he was already caught in the ghost array. One Inch Ash waved the katana in his hand, and one ghost array after another began to fall one after another. The audience was delighted to see this, while the players of Team Zhuxian were all in tears.

Zheng Shengchao struggled to break through the encirclement of the ghost array, but failed again and again.

Compared to the ghost swordsman in the previous match, the berserker had a stronger impact, but he was far less resistant to ghost arrays than the ghost swordsman. Zheng Shengchao was now in such control, which was even more difficult to deal with than the ghost swordsman player of Team Zhuxian in the previous match. Zhan Xiangsi's life continued to decline, the audience applauded, the players of Team Zhuxian were gloomy, and the boss Xiao Jie's expression was as if he wanted to eat someone.

"Qiao Yifan has succeeded again, well done. However, this kind of play consumes a lot of mana. It seems that he can't completely kill his opponent this time, but it doesn't matter. Being able to exhaust the character's mana in the individual competition is already playing to the limit. Qiao Yifan has completed the limit of what he can do very beautifully. If Team Happy can win in the individual competition, Qiao Yifan will definitely be the biggest contributor!!" The commentator continued to praise Qiao Yifan's performance, but also saw that One Inch Ash's mana was probably not enough to support this luxurious ghost array combo.

"Ah! That was close..." The commentator who had just predicted the situation suddenly exclaimed because of the changes on the field, and the audience also let out a sigh at almost the same time.

"Zhan Xiangsi almost broke through One Inch Ash's blockade just now. Although the Zhuxian player has fallen into the trap, it seems that he hasn't given up. He's also actively looking for opportunities." The commentator, whose topic was almost always revolving around Qiao Yifan, finally gave Zheng Shengchao a few words of commentary.

"Uh... Qiao Yifan's control this time seems a little less tight!" Looking at the battle between the two on the field, the commentator suddenly uttered this sentence.

Compared with the complete suppression on the field in the previous round, this time, Zheng Shengchao's Zhan Xiangsi was repeatedly able to find opportunities to try to break through the restrictions. Although he hadn't succeeded yet, the scene was not as embarrassing as in the previous round.

"I think... Qiao Yifan might be thinking too much. It seems that he's deliberately controlling the pace, not wanting to use up his mana too quickly. But this has left too much room for his opponent to struggle. In fact, he has already gained such a leading position, why doesn't Qiao Yifan go all out to use up his mana to make the biggest output? I don't think anyone will blame him for his eventual defeat in this match, right?" The commentator said with some incomprehension and regret.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two on the field had another head-on confrontation. Although Zheng Shengchao still failed to break through this time, he caused a lot of damage to One Inch Ash.

"Will Qiao Yifan be killed by his opponent before he runs out of mana? If that's the case, it would be too regrettable... Qiao Yifan, he's too much of a perfectionist..." Seeing Zheng Shengchao taking a big advantage in this confrontation, the commentator began to have this worry.

"Here it comes again! It seems that Zheng Shengchao is full of confidence now."

"Darkness Boundary! This Darkness Boundary was dropped in time, otherwise, it would be impossible to block this continuous offensive. I hope Qiao Yifan can seize this opportunity to control the situation..."

But the result was not as the commentator wished. Qiao Yifan stubbornly continued to suppress the rhythm, not spending his mana as recklessly as he did in the previous match.

"Just fighting like this... I think, it seems unnecessary to make this trap. I think Zheng Shengchao should be happy to have a head-on confrontation with Qiao Yifan, right?" In the commentator's words, he felt more and more regretful for Qiao Yifan's performance in this round.

"Zheng Shengchao is getting braver and braver now, and his state is fully open." Gradually, the commentator's attention also began to shift to the Zhuxian player.

"Blood Qi Sword, Destruction Slash, beautiful! Soul Eater, didn't grab it, it's a bit of a pity. If he had grabbed it, the situation would have completely changed. Although Zheng Shengchao's Zhan Xiangsi hasn't rushed out yet, he has turned passivity into initiative and actively launched an offensive. Qiao Yifan has been working hard to support it. In the case of originally taking the initiative, because Qiao Yifan didn't fully use the power of the ghost array like he did in the previous round, One Inch Ash also lost a lot of health, and now he only has ten percent left. Next, he needs to deal with a stronger impact from his opponent, because the Berserker's Blood Qi Awakening has been activated..."

"Hmm, has been activated..." When the commentator said this, he suddenly realized that something seemed wrong. He was stunned for a while, and then when the two on the field started to fight again, he noticed the decline in the health bars of both sides, and he suddenly realized that Zhan Xiangsi's Blood Qi Awakening had already been activated, because his health loss had exceeded fifty percent, and all of this seemed to have happened unknowingly. He only paid attention to Qiao Yifan's embarrassment when he was attacked, but he didn't realize that in this process, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash was also silently damaging his opponent.

Yes, this wave of damage was not as coherent and gorgeous as in the previous match. However, if he recklessly squandered his mana like he did in the previous match, how much damage could One Inch Ash's remaining mana do to Zhan Xiangsi here?

But now, using some exchanges in the frontal conflict, although One Inch Ash lost a lot of health, he also quietly suppressed Zhan Xiangsi's health bar a lot. And in this process, how much mana did One Inch Ash consume?

Ten percent!

It was only ten percent, ten percent of the mana, consumed more than fifty percent of the opponent's health. This result was quite amazing. For this reason, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash took a lot of damage. Now, although he still has nearly twenty percent of his mana left, his health is only ten percent. He saved his mana, but does he still have the life to use it?

The commentator had just raised such a doubt, and then he completely reacted.

"Here it comes!!"

So all the viewers watching the broadcast suddenly heard the commentator blurt out this sentence inexplicably at this time.

What's coming? While the audience was at a loss, they saw One Inch Ash suddenly increase the pace, and ghost arrays began to be released one after another. The luxurious scene made One Inch Ash's last bit of mana disappear quickly, but at the same time, it also quickly took away Zhan Xiangsi's life.

"Enough! Qiao Yifan's remaining mana is enough to take away Zhan Xiangsi. Zhan Xiangsi is a Berserker, and he doesn't have the resistance of the ghost swordsman who played before. The ghost array does more damage to him. Qiao Yifan's remaining mana is enough to kill him." The commentator hurriedly said his discovery at this time, but he forgot that all the previous analysis was done in his mind. At this time, he suddenly announced this statement, which made the audience feel all kinds of confused.

But the scene became the best annotation for the commentator's words. The suddenly accelerated One Inch Ash completely controlled the scene. The berserker Zhan Xiangsi, who had been wantonly flaunting his power just now, was instantly submerged in the ghost array. He couldn't find the direction, he couldn't find a way out, his life was fleeting, and his blood qi was awakened, but there was no outlet for him to vent it. He was firmly locked in the ghost array by One Inch Ash.

Finally, One Inch Ash's mana was used up, and along with the last big move that used up his mana, Zhan Xiangsi also completely finished his life.

Qiao Yifan successfully took down his second opponent.
