As expected...
The development of the situation was not out of Song Qiying's expectations. From the moment Zeng Xinran used Powerful Knee Strike to break the balance, he had already foreseen such a situation. Sure enough, Ye Xiu took advantage of the fact that Song Qiying's Striker was still in a hurry to beat up Delillo and then retreated.
Zeng Xinran's face turned red. Even if he was facing a God, being tricked so easily by a Shadow Clone Technique was too much. He had been too excited. He had to calm down! Zeng Xinran took a deep breath.
Zeng Xinran calmed down, but his partner, Song Qiying, who had been telling him not to rush, seemed to have lost his calm. River Sunset recklessly charged towards Lord Grim.
"Hey, slow down!" This time, it was Zeng Xinran's turn to remind Song Qiying.
Song Qiying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. That was then, and this was now! Whether it was fast or slow, it was just a change in pace. There was no such thing as slow or fast. It was all about finding the most suitable pace for the situation. His Striker had finally gotten the opportunity to get close to Lord Grim. If he slowed down now, wouldn't he be letting this opportunity slip away? How could he slow down now? You, on the other hand, should hurry up and charge! Your Brawler is still in attack range!
Unfortunately, Zeng Xinran was forcing himself to calm down. He calmly watched as Lord Grim retreated. He calmly watched as River Sunset charged forward. He calmly reminded Song Qiying to calm down.
"Seize the opportunity!!" Song Qiying really didn't know what to say. Did he have to explain to this guy what they should do in this situation?
Heavens! He was a pro player. How could his IQ be so low? His ability to read the match was too bad, no?
Under Song Qiying's shout, Zeng Xinran finally reacted. This really wasn't the time to stop attacking! It hadn't been easy for River Sunset to get close to Lord Grim. This was the moment when the two characters were the closest to Lord Grim. Why had he … stopped at this moment?
Delillo hurriedly reactivated. Even though he had fallen behind River Sunset, he still had mid-range attacks. The brick in his hand flew out and landed accurately, but Ye Xiu wasn't dead. Lord Grim dodged to the side.
Soaring Tiger!
Song Qiying was thankful that Zeng Xinran had finally reacted. This attack came a bit late, but it was finally here. While Lord Grim was dodging, River Sunset used Soaring Tiger to leap into the air. This Level 60 skill was incredibly fast. River Sunset leapt up and stomped towards Lord Grim. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Lord Grim.
This was a powerful skill. It was a skill that even Lord Grim's low level skills had a hard time dealing with. It came so quickly and so fiercely, taking advantage of the time when Lord Grim was dodging the brick. Song Qiying's timing was impeccable.
It was a pity that this move had come too late. From the moment Zeng Xinran had calmed himself down, the two had already missed their best opportunity. Now that they had made up for it, the effect wasn't perfect. After Lord Grim dodged the brick, he dodged the Soaring Tiger.
However, River Sunset was in front of Lord Grim. However, this wasn't a two-way alley. After turning 360 degrees, which side wasn't in front of him? Lord Grim didn't charge towards River Sunset. He turned around and continued to walk away.
You still want to leave?
Even though River Sunset's Soaring Tiger didn't hit, he was close enough to Lord Grim. He could finally reach out and attack Lord Grim. How could Song Qiying let Lord Grim pull away?
Fling!
River Sunset reached out with both hands, trying to grab Lord Grim. Lord Grim hastily jumped back. River Sunset missed, but then he bent his elbow and stepped forward, punching!
Straight Punch!
The punch that followed after the throw had already landed on Lord Grim's exposed chest. But … …
Sword Draw!
Lord Grim didn't dodge. Instead, he pulled out his sword and counterattacked.
Sword Draw or Straight Punch? Which was faster? In that instant, no one saw it clearly. They only knew that River Sunset's fist had landed on Lord Grim's chest, and that River Sunset's blade had drawn an arrow of blood and sent it flying into the air.
River Sunset staggered backwards. The impact of the Sword Draw was still a bit strong. But what about Lord Grim? He sheathed his sword and held the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in front of his chest. Borrowing the momentum of Straight Punch and Aerial Cannon, Lord Grim seemed to be able to pull away. Had Song Qiying miscalculated? Shouldn't he have controlled River Sunset to use this Forward Punch?
No, he hadn't.
If it was a 1v1, his choice of attack would have pushed Lord Grim further away. But now, it wasn't a 1v1. Lord Grim wanted to run away, but Zeng Xinran's Delillo had arrived. He wasn't stupid enough to not know what to do. Delillo rushed forward, blocking Lord Grim's path of retreat. He reached out with both hands and used Fling towards Lord Grim.
Falling Light Blade.
With Ye Xiu's sudden move, Lord Grim was forced to change directions. Delillo's hands missed and he was about to follow up with another attack. Lord Grim had already turned around and used a Knee Strike, knocking Delillo's waist.
This was a Brawler skill, yet it was being used on Delillo. Zeng Xinran felt extremely wronged, but he didn't have a chance to react. Lord Grim's Knee Strike was followed by a Fling, and Zeng Xinran was thrown towards River Sunset.
Zeng Xinran looked like he was being bullied again, but he had completed his mission. Lord Grim, who was about to retreat with Aerial Cannon, was blocked by him. River Sunset had already rushed forward. He swept past Delillo, who was thrown over, and waved his fist.
Dragon Tiger Flurry!
Song Qiying had actually taken the initiative to use this skill. River Sunset's fists and feet danced in the air, leaving behind afterimages as he mercilessly bombarded Lord Grim.
But Lord Grim's figure blurred and disappeared without a trace.
How?
Song Qiying was shocked. In the next second, River Sunset's waist was grabbed and lifted into the air. With a twist of his body, River Sunset fell to the ground headfirst. His Dragon Tiger Flurry was instantly interrupted.
Song Qiying's mind was blank. How did Lord Grim suddenly run behind him?
Shadow Clone Technique? There was no Shadow Clone Technique!
Teleportation? That didn't seem right either. That flickering figure seemed to have used some kind of movement skill to move around behind him. But of the 24 class skills, there was no such thing as teleportation!
That's right, there was no such skill. In that instant, Lord Grim had used two skills.
Charge, Shining Cut.
These were low-level skills from the Knight and Assassin classes. They were often used as movement skills, but in reality, they were offensive skills. However, many people had to replay the scene in slow motion on the electronic screen before they could see the two skills clearly.
This was because everything had happened too quickly. These two skills had been used by Ye Xiu to move Lord Grim, but they had only moved him two steps.
One step to the side, one step to the back.
In such a small space, using two skills to achieve this kind of movement. What kind of precise control and hand speed was required?
The entire audience was dumbstruck. Even the various large battle teams' participant benches were filled with stunned expressions.
How much APM did he have in that instant?
Many people were very concerned about this question. However, it wasn't shown. The stadium's electronic screen didn't display the player's APM at the climax of the match. Could it be that it had surpassed the logic of the system's calculations?
More and more shocked faces appeared. As for Lord Grim's retreat, no one cared anymore. Everyone was still looking up at the electronic screen, watching the replay. In that instant, Lord Grim had used Charge and Shining Cut to change directions in two steps.
Truly, he was like a ghost …
The stadium sank into silence. The Tyranny fans who were unhappy with Ye Xiu couldn't even make a sound.
"What was that?" The crowd of pro players began to discuss. From rookies to Gods, they all exchanged opinions.
"Actually, it was just a Z-shake." Team Blue Rain's Huang Shaotian said.
"Just?" Yu Wenzhou laughed.
Huang Shaotian didn't say anything.
Of course it wasn't just that. To use two skills in two steps, if it had been him …
"Don't forget, he didn't just use two skills and change directions." Yu Wenzhou seemed to know that Huang Shaotian was comparing himself to Lord Grim, so he reminded him, "There was also a change in the form of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella."
Yes, one was a Knight's Charge, a Priest class skill. The other was an Assassin's Shining Cut, a Nightwalker class skill. If he didn't switch weapons, he definitely wouldn't be able to use these two skills in succession.
Huang Shaotian's expression suddenly became unnatural. Could he do it? He suddenly didn't want to think about the answer.
"Z-shake …" Micrograss's Wang Jiexi also saw the essence of this move.
"In the end, it's still the most primitive playstyle!" Wang Jiexi sighed. The other Micrograss players beside him all looked at each other.
Z-shake was a very basic movement and direction change technique. However, to use these two skills in such a small space, this … couldn't even be described as a godly skill.
The pro players all confirmed in their hearts whether or not they could do it.
As for the match?
In a match where not many people cared about the outcome, who would pay attention to the result? What everyone was looking forward to was whether or not Ye Xiu would do anything else that would stun the crowd.
The only ones who would pay attention to the result were probably those Tyranny fans who didn't like Ye Xiu. They were still hoping that Ye Xiu, who had said he was going to 1v2, would lose quickly and lose face.
The result was just as they had hoped. Song Qiying and Zeng Xinran really did win in a 2v1.
Boos sounded, but they were very weak. This was because many people could see that in the second half of the match, Ye Xiu clearly hadn't used his full strength. This allowed Song Qiying and Zeng Xinran to catch up and win in the end.
Yes, catching up from behind meant that in the first half of the match, Ye Xiu had the upper hand in a 1v2.
What would the result have been if it had continued? Everyone was well aware of this, including Song Qiying and Zeng Xinran.
This kind of victory wasn't something they could be proud of.
"Senior actually went easy on them." Song Qiying even directly pointed it out. He seemed to have a lot of opinions about this.
"As a pro player, I have to do what I say. If I say I'll go easy, then I'll go easy!" Ye Xiu said.
