Shattering the Lands!
The Level 75 Battle Mage skill was used by One Leaf Of Autumn. This attack was made while resisting Lord Grim's attack. One Leaf Of Autumn's powerful equipment came into play at this moment. Lord Grim's attack, which should have caused a slight stun, didn't trigger at all. Even though it did damage One Leaf Of Autumn, it didn't stop this high-level skill from being used.
This guy had already figured out the character's stats!
Ye Xiu understood. Because Lord Grim was wearing a full set of Orange equipment, his stats were directly displayed. There were no secrets. The only variable was the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in his hands. If this was a normal Silver weapon, Sun Xiang might have figured out the weapon's effects a step earlier. However, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had many forms and different attributes, so he had to spend a lot of effort to figure it out. But now, daring to use Shattering the Lands while enduring this attack meant that Sun Xiang was confident that Lord Grim's attack wouldn't be able to deal any damage to One Leaf Of Autumn.
Sure enough, even though Lord Grim's attack dealt damage, One Leaf Of Autumn didn't budge. Shattering the Lands was used. Evil Annihilation stabbed into the ground and pulled back. A ripple spread out with One Leaf Of Autumn as the center. Compared to Qiu Fei's Combat Form's Shattering the Lands, this was even more powerful. The power of the Battle God One Leaf Of Autumn had only just begun to show.
Sun Xiang's timing was impeccable. Evil Annihilation's attack had triggered the Collapsing Mountain effect. Shattering the Land's attack range had increased yet again. For this kind of big move that already had an AOE, the Collapsing Mountain effect's benefits were even more obvious.
With such a large AoE, Lord Grim would have a hard time escaping. He was thrown into the air along with the dirt on the ground. And this was only the beginning of Sun Xiang's attack. One Leaf Of Autumn stepped behind Lord Grim and used a Furious Dragon Strikes The Heart. Evil Annihilation was pulled into the air, stabbing towards Lord Grim's back.
Sun Xiang stepped behind Lord Grim. This was a movement that pro players would do when they had the conditions to do so. One reason was that attacking from the back would deal more damage. Two, attacks from the back were harder to defend against. This sort of movement could barely be considered the early stages of Vanishing Step. However, the main purpose of Vanishing Step was to hide the user and continuously attack the opponent. It wasn't as simple as this movement.
This Furious Dragon Strikes The Heart was extremely sharp. No one would be able to defend against such a sneak attack, but for Ye Xiu, he was too familiar with Battle Mages. He didn't need to look. He only needed to hear to know that a Furious Dragon Strikes The Heart was coming from behind him. Even with the Shattering the Lands effect, he could still hear it clearly.
Without turning around, Lord Grim placed the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella on his shoulder. Then, with a whoosh, the umbrella opened up and used shield mode to take the Furious Dragon Strikes The Heart. Apart from this, Ye Xiu didn't have any better ideas. Sun Xiang's movements were too fast. One Leaf Of Autumn's attack speed was also fierce. He didn't have time to make any more complicated moves.
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was a lightweight shield. Although its ability to reduce damage wasn't bad, it was too weak against all sorts of Priority effects. After taking the Furious Dragon Strikes The Heart head on, Lord Grim flew even higher.
Sun Xiang saw the landing point and controlled One Leaf Of Autumn to fly over. But then, he saw Lord Grim close the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella on his shoulder. The umbrella ribs opened and opened and then began to spin, turning into Rotor Wing and flying away.
Sun Xiang wasn't willing to give up. Although One Leaf Of Autumn didn't have this ability, Lord Grim couldn't keep flying in the sky forever. Rotor Wing also had a time limit. Moreover, the flying speed of this skill wasn't very fast. One Leaf Of Autumn could still keep up on the ground.
Who would have thought that Lord Grim's flight was just a feint. After tricking Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn into flying a few steps away, a grenade silently fell from the sky.
"Ha ha." Sun Xiang even typed a word and added a sneering emoji. One Leaf Of Autumn turned around and swung Evil Annihilation in a beautiful arc, directly exploding the grenade in midair.
In the light of the explosion, Lord Grim instantly disappeared without a trace.
Not good!
Sun Xiang's heart suddenly tightened. He didn't dare be negligent and immediately moved to open up his view. Three artillery shells had already fallen from the sky. Under the cover of the explosion, Lord Grim fired an Anti-Tank Missile Triangle Burst, accurately enveloping him.
Sun Xiang's powerful mechanics were revealed at this moment. The three artillery shells clamped down on him, but he actually had One Leaf Of Autumn turn to the side and slide out from the gap between two artillery shells without taking any damage.
Beautiful mechanics! But at this moment, no one in the stadium gave him the slightest bit of applause. The spectators who had an overhead view had already seen clearly that Lord Grim had used a Shadow Clone Technique to return to the ground. As for One Leaf Of Autumn? However, under Sun Xiang's control, he raised his head and prepared to attack the falling fake body.
Blood splattered everywhere.
In a situation where one was unaware, it was impossible for any God to avoid a sneak attack from an Assassin or Ninja, because it was completely silent.
Only then did Sun Xiang realize that he had been tricked. One Leaf Of Autumn rushed forward while turning around to use a wide AoE Sweep, forcing his opponent to retreat first before anything else. Who would have thought that when he turned around, Lord Grim's figure was nowhere to be seen. There were only so many skills that could make a character disappear into thin air, even among the 24 classes. But … … to search for 24 classes, the search area was a bit too large. Sun Xiang's reaction was quick, but it was still too late. By the time One Leaf Of Autumn had jumped up and stabbed down with his spear, Lord Grim had already emerged from the ground.
Underground Tunneling Technique!
It had been used against Qiu Fei in the previous round. With this one glance, Sun Xiang had already tried his best to make an accurate response, but unfortunately, he was still a bit too slow. Ye Xiu, who had acted first, seized the initiative. Lord Grim, who had emerged from the ground, brushed past Evil Annihilation and flew up, once again leaving a trail of blood on One Leaf Of Autumn's neck.
Then, Falling Flower Palm.
Ye Xiu didn't use the same strategy as he had against Qiu Fei. Instead, he used Falling Flower Palm to simply knock One Leaf Of Autumn away. While Sun Xiang was observing Lord Grim, Ye Xiu was also studying One Leaf Of Autumn, who had changed beyond recognition.
Were these changes really all made to suit Sun Xiang's playstyle? In Ye Xiu's opinion, it wasn't completely the case. Sun Xiang's Battle Mage playstyle wasn't unique. The way he played this character even made Ye Xiu see a lot of his own reflection in it. And in Ye Xiu's opinion, One Leaf Of Autumn's original Silver equipment was already the best for this playstyle. The new level cap didn't revolutionize the playstyle of the class, so the basic equipment configuration didn't need to be changed. The only thing that needed to be done was to increase the level and stats.
But now, Ye Xiu felt that One Leaf Of Autumn was a change in playstyle. If it was just to suit Sun Xiang, there was no need to make such a big change. So why did they still make such a change? Ye Xiu could already guess the reason. Excellent Era wanted to give Ye Xiu an unfamiliar One Leaf Of Autumn for him to deal with. They didn't want Ye Xiu to gain the upper hand because he was too familiar with One Leaf Of Autumn.
They succeeded. This One Leaf Of Autumn was very unfamiliar to Ye Xiu. But what about Sun Xiang? Even though he had enough time to get used to it, getting used to it didn't mean that it was suitable. The changed One Leaf Of Autumn made Ye Xiu lose the initiative to know his enemy, and it also reduced Sun Xiang's strength.
This was a double-edged sword. But for now, Ye Xiu's injury was deeper, and he lost a big advantage.
But what about Excellent Era's injury? If it was only limiting Sun Xiang's battle prowess, then for now, this wound was not that big. It was just that Sun Xiang hadn't reached the peak of his combat strength. It didn't mean that he wasn't strong enough now. If changing a character could make a pro player lose all his skill, then this pro player would be too weak.
The injury needed to be made bigger! But it wasn't easy.
However, knowing that Sun Xiang was unable to reach his peak strength under such circumstances did not directly contribute to the victory. What he really needed to find was why he couldn't use his full strength, and what was limiting him. And this was the key to defeating this strong opponent.
If he wanted to find this weakness, he would have to pay a huge price. He would have to personally test out Sun Xiang's various attacks.
But Lord Grim didn't have much health left, and he was at a disadvantage. Once he found this weakness, would he still have the ability to launch a fatal counterattack?
All of this was full of uncertainty, but Ye Xiu had already decided to do so.
Because he was sure of one thing. This wasn't an individual competition, but a group arena. Even if he couldn't win, he could pave the way for the next player. The group arena was a one-person battle, but it was also a battle between teams. Even if he couldn't win, he had to hand over the victory to the next player. This was how the group arena should be played.
After Falling Flower Palm, Ye Xiu controlled Lord Grim to charge forward. Right now, he still had the initiative. If he had the chance to kill Sun Xiang, he obviously wouldn't mind, but … Sun Xiang clearly wouldn't be so polite to him. One Leaf Of Autumn's powerful character stats decreased the effectiveness of Lord Grim's attacks. The knockback from Falling Flower Palm wasn't as ideal as Ye Xiu had hoped. From this point of view, Excellent Era had succeeded in changing One Leaf Of Autumn beyond recognition. They had disrupted Ye Xiu's rhythm.
Evil Annihilation and the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella once again clashed because of parries. One Leaf Of Autumn's advantage in attack priority was very clear. Every time they clashed, Ye Xiu had to do more to resolve it.
"The two sides are once again clashing head on. Ye Xiu is trying to play smarter, but Sun Xiang is sticking to him tightly. I can see that Ye Xiu's stamina has decreased a bit. In this match, he seems to have given Sun Xiang a bit too many Chasers. At the start of the match, he was doing his best to control this, but now … it seems like he can't control it anymore … "Li Yibo observed the situation and felt that the scales of victory were tilting.
"But Ye Xiu can still casually counterattack," Pan Lin said.
"Yes, he's not panicking at all. He's still playing very calmly. But what I'm more worried about is, if this continues, will Ye Xiu still have the stamina to deal with the team competition? In this match, because of the difference in their characters, it's clear that Ye Xiu is using more energy than Ye Xiu! "Li Yibo said.
