Chapter 152 Underestimation

Underestimating the enemy was the most effective tactic Xiao Shiqin used when he led Team Thunderclap. However, since even Xu Bin could clearly see that this was what Xiao Shiqin was good at, it was no longer a secret, but a style of Xiao Shiqin's tactics.

To put it bluntly, it was eight words: feign weakness to lure the enemy into relaxing.

The principle was that simple, but the operation was naturally not that simple. Especially since everyone knew that he was good at this, when encountering a team led by Xiao Shiqin, they would inevitably remind themselves to be focused, to take it seriously, and not to be careless.

However, a person's emotions are often beyond their control. The situation was constantly changing, the overall picture was constantly fluctuating, and after all the hard work, a favorable situation emerged. It was inevitable to feel happy. And Xiao Shiqin's tactical traps were often deployed at this time, with full preparation, to deal with the various oversights that opponents might make due to momentary excitement, or even to cater to the opponent's emotions and induce them to be negligent.

In this match, in fact, Team Excellent Era was not prepared for this. But Team Excellent Era had something different, which was stronger players and characters.

Two against four, it was definitely a disadvantage, but with Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei's abilities, in this situation, was it certain that they had no ability to turn the tables?

Xiao Shiqin was betting on the abilities of these two. He paved the way for them with his greatest ability. In terms of the number of people on the field, Team Excellent Era was indeed completely behind. However, at the last moment, Xiao Shiqin used a gamble by trading blood, allowing himself to leave the match early, but also minimizing the health of Steamed Bun Invasion and One Inch Ash.

In addition, with Lord Grim's even thinner health, if they could seize the time difference before Little Cold Hands returned, who knew what kind of situation Sun and Qiu could create!

While the Tiny Herb trio analyzed the situation, Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei had already arrived, each controlling their characters, launching an attack without a second's delay.

Mountain-toppling Strike!

Qiu Fei's Combat Form started with a powerful ultimate move. This impactful area-of-effect skill was used to break the Ghost Swordsman's Ghost Boundary. Unwilling to leave the range of the Ghost Boundary? Then take this ultimate move, and everyone makes an exchange.

Lord Grim, with the lowest health of the three Happy characters, and Steamed Bun Invasion and One Inch Ash, who had lost a lot of health after the exchange with Life Extinguisher, naturally dared not take the ultimate move head-on to protect the Ghost Boundary. The three characters dodged the impact of Mountain-toppling Strike. One Autumn Leaf followed and rushed forward, clinging to Lord Grim.

Ye Xiu didn't fight him head-on, faking a shot and retreating with a Flying Gun. Steamed Bun Invasion approached from the side in a strange manner, holding a brick in his hand, ready to smash it on the back of One Autumn Leaf's head. But Qiu Fei saw it clearly from the other side. Combat Form rushed over. Before Steamed Bun Invasion could throw the brick, the battle lance had already reached his face. He quickly jumped away to dodge.

Qiu Fei's operation was also fast. The battle lance bit tightly, using Dragon Tooth followed by Falling Flower Palm. Steamed Bun couldn't dodge in time and was hit!

Steamed Bun Invasion was intercepted before he could fly out. The person who intercepted him was none other than One Autumn Leaf. Sun Xiang ignored Lord Grim, who was pulling away with Flying Gun, and switched to attacking Steamed Bun Invasion.

Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash hurried to rescue, but the Ghost Swordsman was about control and support. When it came to needing a hard-hitting rescue, this class seemed a bit inadequate. Summoning Ghost Boundaries could mostly only limit, but could not completely stop the opponent's offensive. But now the Happy characters had little health left, so limiting was not enough.

Steamed Bun and Qiao Yifan were obviously unable to withstand the impact of this dual offense. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had to turn back, firing all the way from far to near. Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei focused on dodging, continuing to attack Steamed Bun Invasion and One Inch Ash. Just as Lord Grim was about to join the battle, Combat Form suddenly turned, charging and stabbing, sending a Furious Dragon Pierces the Heart over.

Sun Xiang didn't even look, biting Steamed Bun Invasion and attacking him to the death. One Inch Ash's attack? He would take it head-on! One Autumn Leaf was the strongest character on the field, and also the character in the best condition. He completely ignored the attack of a Ghost Swordsman, as long as it wasn't a restriction like an Ice Boundary.

The Team Excellent Era duo's return clearly gave them a strong advantage. But was this because Xiao Shiqin's tactic of underestimating the enemy, as Xu Bin said, was taking effect? It was difficult to tell. Because this was a very subtle psychological change. It was unrealistic to expect the opponent to be so negligent that they didn't take the match seriously.

However, Xiao Shiqin's final accelerated death-trading output showed its value. Facing the impact of two powerful characters, One Autumn Leaf and Combat Form, the pressure on Happy, especially Ye Xiu, was immense. His Lord Grim was already the one with the lowest health, but he was still risking himself to help Steamed Bun and Qiao Yifan…

What about the Cleric?

Happy really needed a Cleric at this time. The audience saw from God's perspective that Little Cold Hands was rushing over quickly and could heal in just a few steps.

But at this moment, Combat Form flew away from the battle, intercepting Little Cold Hands. Ye Xiu, Steamed Bun, and Qiao Yifan were all left to Sun Xiang alone.

Also a Battle Mage, one against three. In this match, Tang Rou had done it before.

But the difference was that, that time for Tang Rou, the opponents took the initiative to come to her. She used herself as bait to lure the opponent to attack, and then stubbornly resisted. But Sun Xiang was different at this time. Facing three Happy characters alone, he was not resisting, not supporting, he was attacking.

Kill!

One against three, One Autumn Leaf took on a posture to kill the opponents!

Everyone was shocked, but no one doubted Sun Xiang's motives.

He had reason to do so.

He was the league's top god, he was controlling the strongest character in this match, and although his opponents numbered three, they all had low health. If they were just standing still as targets, One Autumn Leaf could destroy these three characters in an instant, probably even faster than Combat Form killing Little Cold Hands.

Of course, the three were not targets, but facing Sun Xiang's strong attack, they were a little helpless.

They couldn't respond with the same strong attitude, because they couldn't afford to trade at this time. If they exchanged output with One Autumn Leaf again, probably all three of them would fall, and One Autumn Leaf would still be standing.

With low health, the Cleric was their savior, but their savior was being intercepted by Qiu Fei. An Wenyi saw someone rushing towards Little Cold Hands, changed direction and ran. He had no confidence in relying on his dodging skills to spar with professional players and complete the heal in the process. He thought he would start healing as soon as he arrived, and he had already replaced his healing equipment, but he didn't expect that after arriving, they were in a situation where the four of them were restrained by the other two. While running, An Wenyi was also looking for opportunities. He wanted to get closer to the battle and throw a quick heal if he could. The three Happy characters really needed to heal now.

But how could Qiu Fei let him succeed? Combat Form was tightly biting Little Cold Hands, blocking the space for him to move in that direction. As long as Little Cold Hands turned, he would not get a chance to heal, but would be greeted by Combat Form's head-on attack. Under this kind of blocking, An Wenyi only felt that he would run further and further away.

The hard-earned healing advantage was actually unable to interfere in the battle because of this situation?

Everyone who supported Happy felt unwilling and hoped that Happy would come up with a solution quickly.

At this moment, on the four-person battlefield, a gap suddenly appeared. Lord Grim, who was still exchanging blows with One Autumn Leaf in the previous round, suddenly turned around without warning and stretched out his hands forward.

Cloud Grasping Hand!

Countless people shouted at this moment. Lord Grim used the Cloud Grasping Hand, the skill that had performed miraculous feats twice in this Challenger League.

Was he going to perform a miraculous feat for the third time?

No!

One Autumn Leaf's Dancing Fire suddenly stabbed, One Inch Ash and Steamed Bun Invasion stepped forward to intercept, but One Autumn Leaf suddenly changed his move, the battle lance suddenly slanted up, turning into a Sky Strike.

An incredible Sky Strike, caught the two off guard. Dancing Fire slanted up, carrying the two into the air. Dancing Fire then fell, still an incredibly fast change of moves, as if there had never been anyone blocking in the middle. A straight stab continued to stab towards Lord Grim.

However, with this delay, Lord Grim's Cloud Grasping Hand had already been used, and had already grabbed onto Combat Form. However, he couldn't continue, because One Autumn Leaf's attack had arrived. If he continued, even if he grabbed Combat Form, he would be quickly interrupted, and more seriously, starting with this attack, Sun Xiang could take him away with a set of combos.

Ye Xiu had no choice but to withdraw and dodge. Those who had high hopes for this Cloud Grasping Hand were disappointed. However, the two who were hit into the air by Sky Strike launched an attack. Before they landed, Steamed Bun Invasion raised his left hand and flicked his right hand, throwing a sandbag with a brick hidden inside.

This little trick didn't escape Sun Xiang's eyes. His attention was very focused at this time. He quickly saw the trajectory of the brick, and then turned his view to prevent the sandbag from hitting him head-on. But in the moment he turned, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash immediately began to chant. Frost began to fall from the blade, it was an Ice Boundary!

The Ice Boundary was undoubtedly the most restrictive skill that could control One Autumn Leaf at this time. Qiao Yifan had not used it all along because he could not get the chance. Sun Xiang was obviously well aware of the possible threat of the Ghost Swordsman, and his restriction on him was quite strict.

But at this time, in the series of changes caused by Cloud Grasping Hand, Qiao Yifan finally glimpsed a gap. Perhaps this gap was not 100% certain, but it was worth betting on.

However, before he could finish chanting, One Autumn Leaf looked back. Sun Xiang's operation was too precise. He dodged the sandbag, catching the moment. At this time, looking back, he could interrupt One Inch Ash's chanting with ease. But at the same moment, Lord Grim took a step forward, using his body to block Sun Xiang's line of sight.

In just this moment, enough time had been gained. When One Autumn Leaf's combat movement pulled away the view again, he saw that behind Lord Grim, One Inch Ash's katana had fallen, and frost flowed down from the blade…

Dragon Breaks the Army!

Sun Xiang unleashed his ultimate move at this time, Dragon Breaks the Army rushed out, straight towards One Inch Ash.

The Ice Boundary fell, but One Autumn Leaf had rushed out of range with his ultimate move. One Inch Ash was not knocked away by this blow. One Autumn Leaf lowered Dancing Fire in his hand, pressing One Inch Ash down. Sun Xiang knew that his restriction had ended at this point, so at this moment, he had to kill at least one opponent.

But he didn't expect that, the next second, Lord Grim suddenly appeared beside him.

This appearance was too unexpected. The retraction of Dragon Breaks the Army was fast, but Sun Xiang didn't have time to make any moves. Lord Grim reached out and tore One Autumn Leaf, and threw him back into One Inch Ash's Ice Boundary.

A small skill, just a Throw.
