Chapter 1

Han Yanrou's Haolong Pokai (Dragon Breaks the Formation) stirred the scene into a climax. The commentator Pan Lin in the broadcast had nothing to say after a long "Oh."

Alone, facing the four members of Team Excellent Era, Han Yanrou actually charged forward with a more active and aggressive posture? Did this girl even understand the situation?

Many people wanted to mock Tang Rou's suicidal move, but in the next second, everyone was stunned to see Han Yanrou's Haolong Pokai (Dragon Breaks the Formation) directly break through the pincers formed by One Autumn Leaf and the Battle Mage, killing her way to the two ranged gunners.

If the Excellent Era players had been even slightly prepared for this seemingly self-destructive situation, they could have taken Han Yanrou away in an instant. The problem was, they weren't. Neither the tactical master Xiao Shiqin, nor the new generation god Sun Xiang, nor the promising rookie Qiu Fei had expected Tang Rou to be so unrestrained.

No one could define whether this was courageous or utterly brainless.

Han Yanrou swung her spear in a wide arc, forcing the two ranged gunners to retreat. While dodging, they raised their guns and began to fire. One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format also turned around to continue flanking Han Yanrou.

Excellent Era's adjustments were extremely fast, but no matter what, Tang Rou's unexpected move disrupted their rhythm. Now, as they encircled her again, neither the formation nor the rhythm was as perfect as before.

This level of encirclement might have been enough to trap an ordinary player, but unfortunately, Excellent Era was facing Ye Xiu in Team Happy. In Ye Xiu's eyes, this kind of disorganized encirclement couldn't be described as "imperfect"—it was full of flaws.

"Matchstick!"

Suddenly, a message from Lord Grim appeared in Team Happy's team channel.

This wasn't a code. Matchstick was the name of Wang Ze's Sharpshooter. Having just entered the match, he had failed to save Excellent Era's healer, but his strong output against Xiaogun had laid a decent foundation for Excellent Era's counterattack. But at this moment, he was also designated by Ye Xiu as the breakthrough point for Happy's focused fire.

This was probably the first completely head-on collision in the match so far. Both sides, with four characters each, converged in the same area, launching an assault toward their respective tactical objectives.

"Facing Excellent Era's counterattack, Happy is also showing great toughness!" Pan Lin exclaimed in surprise. Happy had been deliberately avoiding this kind of head-on conflict, but at this moment, their attitude had changed. As the four members of Excellent Era surrounded Han Yanrou, the three characters on Happy's periphery bravely charged forward to rescue her.

At the same time, the surrounded Tang Rou was executing the instructions given by Ye Xiu.

Surrounded on all sides, no situation could ignite Tang Rou's fighting spirit more. Her hand speed exploded, and Han Yanrou charged toward Matchstick. She weaved at high speed, dodging the oncoming gunner attacks. One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format closely followed behind. Without any interference, they moved faster, and the distance between them continued to shrink.

Haolong Pokai (Dragon Breaks the Formation)!

At this moment, what mattered was time and speed. No one would hold back their ultimate skill. One Autumn Leaf directly used Haolong Pokai (Dragon Breaks the Formation), stabbing straight at Han Yanrou's back.

But Han Yanrou also jumped high into the air at this instant.

Dou Po Shanhe (Mountain Shattering Strike)!

The level 75 ultimate skill wasn't only used by the people of Excellent Era.

One Autumn Leaf's Haolong Pokai (Dragon Breaks the Formation) brushed past beneath her, missing her by a hair's breadth. Battle Format had originally intended to follow up with an attack, but seeing that Han Yanrou had used the ultimate skill Dou Po Shanhe (Mountain Shattering Strike), he quickly changed his actions.

Xiao Shiqin and Wang Ze's ranged attacks didn't need to stop, and Han Yanrou was in mid-air, making it more difficult to dodge. For a time, sparks flashed on her body, she was constantly hit, and her health kept dropping.

But the Dou Po Shanhe (Mountain Shattering Strike) was unleashed after all!

Carrying fireworks and blood, Han Yanrou suddenly crashed to the ground. Fire Dance Flowing Flame pierced the ground, and magical energy erupted from the earth, sending mud and stones flying. Streaks of flame coursed through it, the Flowing Flame effect of Fire Dance Flowing Flame.

Such a powerful attack couldn't be taken head-on. Qiu Fei's Battle Format didn't step forward, and Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf also quickly dodged to avoid its edge. Xiao Shiqin and Wang Ze's gunner classes, while dodging out of range, continued to intensify their attacks.

"Take her down!" Xiao Shiqin couldn't help but roar. Han Yanrou's fierce fighting style made everyone who fought her feel their blood boil.

However, just as Han Yanrou's health was about to drop to 0, a white light flashed on her body.

Small Heal!

"I... I..." Commentator Pan Lin almost swore at this moment. He was ready to announce Han Yanrou's death, but he didn't expect that a healing skill from Lord Grim would pull Han Yanrou back at the last moment.

"Incredible!" This was the assessment given by Li Yibo. Small Heal was a casted skill, and to time it so accurately required extremely precise prediction ability, which wasn't something that could be achieved with just hand speed.

It was just that Lord Grim's skills were low-level, had no class bonuses, and no healing equipment. This Small Heal only prevented Han Yanrou from being killed in that instant. As for bringing her back from the brink of death, it was still far from enough.

However, that moment of respite was enough for Tang Rou to launch another attack.

Palm of the Fallen Flower, carried Han Yanrou's body toward Matchstick.

Wang Ze didn't dodge. Han Yanrou's health was so low that the numbers before the decimal point were invisible. Dodging was less convenient than directly killing her.

Excellent Era obviously thought so too, and they all revealed their attacks.

But in that instant, a white light flashed on Han Yanrou's body again.

Small Heal!

Han Yanrou's health was pulled back again, at a moment of utmost urgency. The timeliness of this skill could be seen from Han Yanrou's remaining health. The health it restored was almost completely depleted in an instant. Han Yanrou was basically surviving on her last drop of blood.

But this didn't affect Han Yanrou's attack power.

Palm of the Fallen Flower struck Matchstick, and he was immediately sent flying. At his landing point, One Inch Ash's ghost array locked onto him in a five-star chain. Brawler Bao pounced, grabbing Matchstick before he could even land, saving Wang Ze the trouble of a Ukemi roll.

Matchstick was knocked away, and Excellent Era's encirclement was wide open. Han Yanrou quickly wanted to rush out, but how could Xiao Shiqin give her such an opportunity? He furiously unleashed his firepower. However, a figure flashed over, and Lord Grim held up the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, completely protecting Han Yanrou behind him.

Han Yanrou, wasn't dead?

No one could believe this fact. Li Yibo was preparing his commentary, intending to analyze how Ye Xiu's two consecutive miraculous healing skills that delayed Han Yanrou's death affected the situation. He hadn't expected that Han Yanrou could be saved.

Just a casual strike away, and Team Excellent Era actually failed to succeed?

This was really... too unlucky.

Yes, this kind of unbelievable event couldn't be analyzed from a technical perspective. It could only be attributed to luck.

However, this seemed to be only temporary, right?

One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format had already charged over, and their spears, at a 120-degree angle,夾,夾attacked Lord Grim from the left and right. As for Han Yanrou, who was protected behind Lord Grim, she was also completely within their attack range. Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher directly took off with Mechanical Wings, looking down from above, intending to bypass Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella shield and directly attack Han Yanrou behind him.

As long as they landed a single strike, this matter would be concluded. How could it be impossible? The three members of Excellent Era were confident in this, and even with Ye Xiu's cover, they didn't believe Ye Xiu could protect her so thoroughly.

Ye Xiu certainly couldn't, but he didn't intend to cover her at all. Life Extinguisher used Mechanical Wings to fly into the air. Looking down at Han Yanrou behind Lord Grim, he was shocked.

"Careful!"

The message was sent too late. One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format charged in together, and as Lord Grim retracted the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella shield, an extremely powerful magical fluctuation surged out, Flying Dragon in the Heavens!

With only one drop of blood left, Han Yanrou was still launching attacks. Under the cover of Lord Grim's umbrella shield, this was a duo's blind shield tactic. Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei hadn't expected this at all. When Xiao Shiqin noticed it from above, it was already too late.

The Fire Dance Flowing Flame, transformed into an enraged dragon, drilled out from behind Lord Grim's retracted Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, heading straight for Battle Format. Battle Format, who had already charged forward, had already unleashed his skill, but he couldn't withstand the attack determination of Flying Dragon in the Heavens. His skill was only halfway through when he was snatched away by the magic dragon. Magical fluctuations缠绕ed around him. Instantly, the fluctuations erupted. Battle Format took this ultimate skill head-on.

Sun Xiang's One Autumn Leaf wasn't attacked by this sneak attack, but Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella greeted him instead. The attack wasn't strong, and it looked more like a drive. But Sun Xiang could only take it head-on, and couldn't dodge in the direction Ye Xiu was driving him. He was joking. That was the path of Han Yanrou's Flying Dragon in the Heavens. Dodging in that direction would mean being hit by one stone and two birds.

A Flying Dragon in the Heavens not only succeeded in a sneak attack, but was also used by Ye Xiu as a means to restrict the opponent's space. A clean and neat two-hit combo knocked One Autumn Leaf to the side. Life Extinguisher's firepower covered the area, but Lord Grim held up the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella again, shielding his head. Using the umbrella shield like this was extremely convenient. The most important function of an umbrella was to shield the head, wasn't it?

The two shared an umbrella, and under the attack of Life Extinguisher, they went to meet Brawler Bao and One Inch Ash, looking like they were taking a walk in the rain. Ye Xiu had cast a recovery spell on Han Yanrou again, and her health was slowly recovering. Although the amplitude wasn't large, the members of Excellent Era felt like their hearts had died.

Just these few drops of blood, when would they be able to kill her?
