Underestimating the enemy was one of the tactics Xiao Shiqin used to lead Thunder. However, since even Xu Bin knew that this was what Xiao Shiqin was good at, it was no longer a secret. This was one of Xiao Shiqin's tactics.
To put it bluntly, it was eight words: show weakness to the enemy and lure them to relax.
The theory was that simple, but it wasn't that simple to execute. Especially when everyone knew that he was good at this. Against a team led by Xiao Shiqin, it was inevitable that he would remind himself to focus and not be careless.
However, a person's emotions often didn't change according to their will. The situation was constantly changing. The situation was constantly fluctuating. After a lot of effort, a favorable situation would be created. It was inevitable for them to be happy. And Xiao Shiqin's tactical traps were often set up at these moments. He would be fully prepared to deal with the opponent's carelessness due to a moment of excitement. He would even go along with the opponent's emotions to lure them into carelessness.
In this match, Excellent Era hadn't made such preparations. However, Excellent Era had something different, which was stronger players and characters.
A 2v4 was definitely at a disadvantage, but with Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei's abilities, wouldn't they be able to turn the situation around?
What Xiao Shiqin was betting on was the ability of these two people. He was doing his best to pave the way for the two. In terms of numbers, Excellent Era was indeed at a disadvantage. However, Xiao Shiqin had played along at the last moment and sold his health to force an attack, allowing him to leave the match early. At the same time, he had also reduced the health of Baozi's Invasion and One Inch Ash to the greatest extent.
In addition, Lord Grim had even less health. Taking advantage of the time Little Cold Hands hadn't returned yet, it was hard to say what kind of situation Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei would be able to achieve with just Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei!
While Tiny Herb's three players were analyzing the situation, Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei had already arrived. They each controlled their characters, and without a second's delay, they immediately attacked.
Shattering the Lands!
Qiu Fei's Combat Form started with a high-level skill. This powerful AoE skill smashed down and broke the Ghostblade's Ghost Boundaries. Unwilling to leave the Ghost Boundary? Then let's eat this big move and make a trade.
Of Happy's three characters, Lord Grim, had the lowest health. Baozi's Invasion and One Inch Ash had also lost quite a bit of health after that huge exchange with Life Extinguisher. Sure enough, they didn't dare to take a hit for the sake of the ghost boundaries. The three characters dodged the Shattering the Lands one after another. One Autumn Leaf was already charging forward, biting down on Lord Grim.
Ye Xiu did not fight him head-on. He feinted and retreated with his Aerial Spear. Steamed Bun Invasion sneakily stepped forward, his hand holding the Brick, about to smash it against the back of One Autumn Leaf's head. Qiu Fei, on the other hand, saw everything clearly. Combat Form had long since rushed over. Before Baozi's Invading Brick could be used, the spear was already in front of him. He hastily dodged to the side.
Qiu Fei's movements were also quick. The spear bit down quickly. A Dragon's Teeth followed by a Falling Flower Push. Baozi couldn't dodge in time and was hit!
Baozi's Invasion was blocked before it could fly out. The one who blocked it was One Leaf Of Autumn. Sun Xiang didn't pay attention to Lord Grim, who had used Aerial Fire to increase the distance between them. He switched targets to Steamed Bun Invasion.
Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash hurriedly came to save him, but Phantom Demons played CC and support. When it really came to a desperate situation, this class clearly didn't have the strength to back it up. Summoning Ghost Boundaries could mostly restrict the opponent, but it couldn't completely stop the opponent's attacks. However, Happy's character didn't have much health left. Just restricting the opponent wasn't enough.
Baozi and Qiao Yifan clearly couldn't hold off the attacks of these two Phantom Demons. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had no choice but to turn around and attack from afar. Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei focused on dodging. They continued to attack Baozi's Invasion and One Inch Ash. Just as Lord Grim was about to join the battle, Combat Form suddenly turned around and rushed forward with a Furious Dragon Strikes the Heart.
Sun Xiang, on the other hand, didn't look askance. He bit onto Steamed Bun Invasion and attacked. One Inch Ash's attacks? Take them head on! One Leaf Of Autumn was the strongest character on the field. At the same time, he was also the character in the best condition. As long as a Phantom Demon's attacks weren't restricted by Ice Boundaries, he could completely ignore them.
Excellent Era's two players had clearly taken the initiative in this fight. But was this the effect of Xiao Shiqin's strategy of underestimating the enemy that Xu Bin mentioned? It was hard to tell. Because this was a very subtle change in mentality. Hoping that the opponent would completely underestimate the enemy and not treat the match seriously wasn't realistic.
However, the value of Xiao Shiqin's last exchange of damage that sped up their deaths was evident. Facing the attacks of One Leaf Of Autumn and Combat Form, Happy's side, especially Ye Xiu, was under a lot of pressure. His Lord Grim already had the lowest health, yet he was still taking the risk to help Baozi and Qiao Yifan...
As for the Cleric?
Happy really needed a Cleric right now. From their omniscient view, the audience could see that Little Cold Hands was already rushing over. He would be able to heal in just a few steps.
But at this moment, Combat Form left the battle and intercepted Little Cold Hands. Ye Xiu, Baozi, and Qiao Yifan were all left to Sun Xiang alone.
They were all Battle Mages, but in a 1v3, Tang Rou had done it before.
But the difference was that Tang Rou's opponents were the ones who came looking for her. She used herself as bait, luring her opponents to attack and then stubbornly resisting. Right now, Sun Xiang was different. Facing three Happy characters alone, he wasn't defending, he wasn't supporting, he was attacking.
Kill!
It was a 1v3, but One Autumn Leaf looked like he was going to kill them all!
Everyone was shocked, but no one doubted Sun Xiang's motives.
He had a reason to do so.
He was a top God in the Alliance. He was controlling the strongest character in this match. Even though he had three opponents, they didn't have much health. If they were just sandbags standing there, One Leaf Of Autumn could kill them in an instant. He would probably kill them much faster than Combat Form killing Little Cold Hands.
The three obviously weren't sandbags, but facing Sun Xiang's strong attacks, they were helpless.
They couldn't use the same strong attacks because they couldn't afford to trade damage with One Leaf Of Autumn. If they traded damage with One Leaf Of Autumn, even if all three of them fell, One Leaf Of Autumn would still be standing.
With low health, a Cleric was their savior, but their savior was being intercepted by Qiu Fei. An Wenyi saw someone rushing towards Little Cold Hands and turned to run. He didn't have the confidence to rely on his dodging skills to fight a pro player and heal in the process.
Ye Xiu and the other two had to deal with Sun Xiang and think of a way to help Little Cold Hands. Even though they had the numbers advantage, the current situation was very difficult for them.
"Happy should have gone to help the healer earlier. They were a bit careless," Li Yibo said.
"It's probably because Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei turned around at the right time. As soon as Life Extinguisher died, the two of them arrived and immediately attacked Happy and the other two. Happy didn't have time to help the healer, "Pan Lin said.
"The key is that they didn't show any intentions of doing so. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim once used Aerial Fire to escape the battle, but in the end, he still chose to fight his way back, "Li Yibo said.
"But if he didn't go back and left One Inch Ash and Baozi to deal with Excellent Era's dual Battle Mages, by the time he came back with the Cleric, those two would have already been killed. They didn't have much health left at that time," Pan Lin said.
"Xiao Shiqin's final wave of attacks really did deal a lot of damage," Li Yibo said.
Pan Lin and Li Yibo had been talking back and forth between the two sides during the fierce battle. In the end, the two of them were speechless. After chatting like this, Happy immediately understood what kind of difficult situation he was in. Even though Xiao Shiqin wasn't there, the trade he made before he left the stage really did restrict Happy's movements. If he had insisted on protecting himself, then he definitely wouldn't have been able to deal so much damage. Even if Excellent Era had three players left, Happy wouldn't have been so passive.
But now, Sun Xiang alone could control Happy and the other two. Why? Because they had too little health. Because they had too little health, they couldn't use forceful methods. Disregard everything and split up? Then one of them would probably be killed very quickly, and then what? One Leaf Of Autumn had four Neutral Chasers on his back. Sun Xiang had intentionally created them, but he hadn't used them because he wanted to deal with a situation like this. There was also Dragon Breaks the Ranks. The skill's cooldown was already over, so he could use it at any time to chase and attack.
With such ample preparation, Sun Xiang even hoped that Happy would respond like this. This would give him a chance to kill them one by one. He was confident that he could kill two of them before the other side could reach the healer. After that, a 2v2? Then the healer wouldn't be so scary, especially a healer who wasn't very skilled.
The people who had been cheering for Happy's victory in advance were instantly stunned. On the other hand, the somewhat dejected Excellent Era fans' eyes suddenly lit up. Seeing the current situation and hearing what the two commentators said, they finally understood what kind of situation Xiao Shiqin had set up.
"Excellent Era, you can do it!!" In the stadium, the Excellent Era fans suddenly erupted. It was already the final moment of the match. The players were fighting, so they couldn't relax. Even if the Glory players couldn't hear the voices in the stadium, they still had to work together with the players for victory.
An Wenyi had Little Cold Hands dodge Combat Form's interception. Seeing that the other side was actually chasing after them, he had no choice but to run and change equipment in a flurry. He originally thought that he would have to start healing, so he had already changed his equipment. He didn't think that the four of them would be pinned down by the other side's two. As An Wenyi ran, he was also looking for an opportunity. He wanted to get closer to the battle and take advantage of the opportunity to cast an instant heal. That would be good too. Right now, Happy's three characters were in dire need of healing.
But how could Qiu Fei let him have his way? Combat Form followed closely behind Little Cold Hands, blocking off the space he had to move towards him. As long as Little Cold Hands turned around, he wouldn't get a chance to heal, but a direct hit from Combat Form. In this situation, An Wenyi felt like he would only run further and further away.
It wasn't easy for him to have a healer advantage, but because of this situation, he couldn't participate in the battle?
Everyone who supported Happy felt unsatisfied. They all hoped that Happy would hurry up and come up with a solution.
At this moment, an opening suddenly appeared in the battle between the four. Lord Grim, who had been exchanging blows with One Leaf Of Autumn last round, suddenly turned around without warning and spread out his hands.
"Cloud Grasping Fist!!"
Who knew how many people shouted at this moment. Lord Grim had used the Cloud Grasping Fist that had made two miraculous contributions in the Challenger League.
Was he going to make a third miraculous contribution?
No!
One Leaf Of Autumn's Evil Annihilation suddenly stabbed forward. One Inch Ash and Baozi used Invasion to block it, but One Leaf Of Autumn suddenly changed tactics. His spear suddenly tilted upwards and turned into a Sky Strike.
The inconceivable Sky Strike didn't allow the two to dodge in time. Evil Annihilation was sent flying into the air. Evil Annihilation followed and changed tactics at an inconceivable speed. It was as if there was no one blocking it and it continued to stab towards Lord Grim.
However, in this moment of delay, Lord Grim's Cloud Grasping Fist had already been used and he had already pulled Combat Form in. However, he couldn't continue because One Leaf Of Autumn's attack had arrived. If he continued, even if he pulled Combat Form in, he would be quickly interrupted. What was more serious was that if he used this attack to start, Sun Xiang would be able to finish him off with a combo.
Ye Xiu had no choice but to dodge. Those who had been anticipating this Cloud Grasping Fist were all disappointed. However, the two who had been lifted into the air by the Sky Strike attacked. Before they landed, Baozi used Invasion's left hand and threw out his right hand, throwing out a Brick hidden in his Sand Toss.
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 turned his view so that the Sand Toss wouldn't hit him directly. However, in the time it took for him to turn, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash immediately began casting. Frost began to fall from the tip of his blade. It was Ice Boundary!
Ice Boundary was undoubtedly the best control skill to restrict One Leaf Of Autumn. Qiao Yifan hadn't used it yet because he hadn't been able to find an opportunity. Sun Xiang clearly knew the threat of a Phantom Demon and was very strict with his restrictions.
However, due to the series of changes caused by Cloud Grasping Fist, Qiao Yifan finally found an opening. Perhaps this gap was not 100%, but it was already worth betting on.
However, before he could finish casting, One Leaf Of Autumn had already turned his head back. Sun Xiang's control was too precise. He had dodged the Sand Toss in that instant. Turning his head now was more than enough to interrupt One Inch Ash's casting. However, at the same time, Lord Grim stepped forward and used his body to block Sun Xiang's view.
In just this instant, there was enough time. When One Leaf Of Autumn opened up his view again, he saw that behind Lord Grim, One Inch Ash's tachi had already fallen. Frost began to flow from the tip of his blade...
Dragon Breaks the Ranks!
Sun Xiang brazenly used a high-level skill at this moment. Dragon Breaks the Ranks rushed towards One Inch Ash.
Ice Boundary fell, but One Leaf Of Autumn was already out of range. One Inch Ash wasn't sent flying by this attack. One Leaf Of Autumn lowered his Evil Annihilation and firmly held One Inch Ash in place. Sun Xiang knew that his restriction had ended. At this moment, he had to kill at least one opponent first.
However, he didn't think that in the next second, Lord Grim would suddenly appear beside him.
This appearance was too unexpected. Dragon Breaks the Ranks ended quickly, but Sun Xiang didn't have time to do anything. Lord Grim had already reached out and grabbed One Leaf Of Autumn and tossed him back into One Inch Ash's Ice Boundary.
It was just a small skill, Fling.
