The corners of Liu Hao's eyes twitched a few times. Even some of the Team Excellent Era veterans felt a sense of déjà vu at this moment.
Ye Xiu and Liu Hao, this pair of former teammates were now fighting on their own, but their conversation in the public chat was very similar to when they were in Excellent Era.
Liu Hao would never forget Ye Xiu's coldness and disdain for his kind praise.
Cheering for a teammate's beautiful performance was also a way to boost morale. Liu Hao thought so, but Ye Xiu thought that his praise was too much.
Praise was also encouragement. Would anyone complain about it being too much? What's more, it wasn't like he didn't know when to do it. He had never left any space just to type out a praise, right?
But even so, Ye Xiu still said that he wasn't focused enough.
Yes, he wasn't focused enough. This was a point that Ye Xiu had always pointed out to him. From the moment he became a member of Team Excellent Era to the moment he became the vice-captain of Excellent Era.
"If you have the time, why don't you control your character a little?"
These words made Liu Hao angry. He hadn't been delayed by typing out these words at all. What do you want me to do?
Liu Hao immediately exploded. Absent Sun pounced on Lord Grim more fiercely than anyone else. He was someone who could control his emotions very well, but everyone had some sort of reverse scale that they couldn't tolerate. Ye Xiu's words poked at Liu Hao's scars of many years. In the past, he could only express his emotions in secret, but now, he could finally use his actions to speak on the battlefield. He wanted to tell Ye Xiu: whether or not you control your character isn't the key!
Earthquake Slash!
Absent Sun swept out with his sword, directly shattering the stalls in front of him, clearing a path for himself. Absent Sun stepped on the wreckage and charged up.
Demon Subduer and Doubtful Demon, Wind Howl's two strongest characters, followed behind Absent Sun as they charged up from the wreckage.
In the past, they were known as the Criminal Duo, but now, that name was probably going to become history. In the Alliance's Best Duo rankings, these two characters who had fought side by side for many years weren't even listed together. So-called partners didn't just mean that everyone was in the same team. Otherwise, wouldn't the Best Team Competition have all five of them participating together?
As for partners, the Alliance had never given a clear definition. However, based on the selections over the past few years, the so-called partners were usually the core members of a team who had the most chemistry. The cooperation between them was more obvious and outstanding.
In today's Wind Howl, Demon Subduer was still the core, still as outstanding as before, but Doubtful Demon's position in the team was gradually weakening. Brawlers and Thieves were no longer the core of Team Wind Howl. Who was the biggest helper standing next to Demon Subduer?
Fire Wave Sword!
Darkness Absent Sun swung his sword again, clearing all the obstacles in front of him. After a series of attacks, Absent Sun's movement slowed down. Demon Subduer passed by him, stepping into the waves of fire from Fire Wave Sword and charging up.
What a beautiful cover.
No matter who it was, they had to admit this point.
The Fire Wave Sword and Demon Subduer's movement coordinated perfectly, and the flames wrapped around Demon Subduer temporarily gave Demon Subduer a protective layer. At this moment, anyone who wanted to attack him in close range would have to first be attacked by the Fire Wave Sword.
But what if it was a long-range attack...
Boom boom boom!
Three cannon shots rang out. Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain once again came out to tangle with them.
When the Heat-Seeking Missile was thrown, everyone in Wind Howl had roughly guessed her position. It was just that she was too far away to be an opening, so everyone continued to focus on Lord Grim. As for Su Mucheng continuing to harass and obstruct them, Wind Howl could be said to have foreseen this. When the cannon shot rang out, Zhao Yuzhe's Beautiful Light had already pointed his staff, and an Ice Wall instantly formed next to Fire Wave Sword.
Ice and fire complemented each other, covering Demon Subduer's Charge in all directions. Dancing Rain's Anti-Tank Missile hit the Ice Wall, but this low-level skill was unable to directly shatter the Ice Wall. Su Mucheng used another skill, but Demon Subduer's Charge had already been completed.
Along with the waves of fire from Fire Wave Sword, Demon Subduer rushed not far from Lord Grim. This was the range that a Brawler could control.
Sand Toss!
Demon Subduer waved his hand and threw it.
Lord Grim didn't hesitate, opening his umbrella to block.
Blind Shield Tactic!
When Lord Grim opened his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, everyone subconsciously thought of this. The umbrella shield of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was so big that it was a bit of a cheat. Blind Shield Tactic didn't just block one's own attacks, it could directly hide someone behind to attack.
Tang Hao obviously saw that there was no one around Lord Grim, but he didn't dare to directly charge in like this. He moved to the side and pulled the angle, leaving the space for Tang Hao to directly charge in for the kill to Liu Hao.
Liu Hao understood his intentions very well. Absent Sun arrived a few steps later, just in time to face Lord Grim's umbrella shield. Without saying anything, he directly attacked the umbrella shield with an Ice Wave Sword. He could maintain a medium distance, so he wasn't worried about Ye Xiu playing any tricks behind the umbrella.
Lin Feng's Doubtful Demon had already activated Stealth and was circling around to Sap's back. Even if he was a Battle Thief, it didn't mean that he would completely abandon the Thief's sneak attacks.
As for Zhao Yuzhe? At this moment, he had already set his sights on one of the crates and was controlling Beautiful Light to jump to the top. From a higher vantage point, his field of vision was wider, and his attack range was larger.
But when he jumped halfway and his field of vision widened a bit, he saw a Ghostblade behind a pile of sacks, his katana already filled with the power of a Demon God.
"Careful, there's a Phantom Demon!" Zhao Yuzhe yelled as Beautiful Light sent a Piercing Lightning over.
But at this moment, Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash had finished casting his Ghost Boundary. An Ice Boundary instantly fell, protecting Lord Grim. Of the three characters on Wind Howl, two were already within the Ice Boundary's range.
Tang Hao reacted quickly. Demon Subduer directly used a Powerful Knee Strike to jump out of the Ice Boundary. Lin Feng, on the other hand, was in an awkward situation. His Doubtful Demon was in Stealth, so as soon as the Ice Boundary came out, he couldn't escape in time and was immediately frozen into a large block of ice.
One Inch Ash's Ice Boundary had succeeded, but he didn't have time to dodge Beautiful Light's Piercing Lightning.
The Piercing Lightning struck. While dealing damage, it also pointed out the location of this Phantom Demon to the rest of Wind Howl. Zhao Yuzhe was just about to follow up with another attack, but cannon fire had already arrived. Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain had already seized a high vantage point and was beginning to interrupt his attacks.
In the team competition, you restrain me, I restrain you, so it was extremely rare to have a chance to complete a combo in one hit like in the individual competition. Zhao Yuzhe clearly couldn't continue to bombard One Inch Ash. Facing off against a Launcher like this, an Elementalist was at a disadvantage. His skills needed to be cast, but a Launcher didn't!
Beautiful Light's offensive was interrupted, but Tang Hao's Demon Subduer had already rushed towards One Inch Ash's hiding place. Liu Hao's Absent Sun continued to sweep towards Lord Grim's side.
In terms of position, Absent Sun was actually closer to One Inch Ash, while Demon Subduer was further away. However, Lord Grim was currently under the protection of the Ice Boundary. Even though Brawlers had mid-range attacks, they couldn't get close to him, so their ability to pin him down was somewhat lacking. They couldn't compare to Spellblades, who specialized in mid-range battles. As a result, Tang Hao gave up on what was close at hand and went to attack One Inch Ash from afar, leaving Lord Grim to Liu Hao for the time being.
Doubtful Demon was frozen, Demon Subduer went to grab the hidden One Inch Ash, Beautiful Light was suppressed by Dancing Rain's firepower, and looking at Lord Grim not too far away, Liu Hao suddenly had a bad premonition. He smelled the prelude to an impending storm!
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella … sank slightly.
Is it coming?
Liu Hao opened his eyes wide. For now, he didn't care what Lord Grim's attack was. A wave slash swept over, but immediately afterwards, an arrow of blood flew out from Absent Sun's neck. Absent Sun was picked up and thrown into the Ice Boundary.
Fling was a grab skill. He couldn't use Quick Recover to prevent himself from falling. Absent Sun fell into the Ice Boundary, and his speed was instantly reduced. When he looked up again, he saw Lord Grim appear behind him.
Shadow Clone Technique?
Liu Hao had already realized, but Shadow Clone Technique also required hand seals. Lord Grim had been holding the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in front of him the entire time. How did he make hand seals?
After a moment of doubt, Liu Hao immediately thought of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella sinking slightly just now.
It wasn't a hand seal. Lord Grim had temporarily let go of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in that instant, and after quickly completing the hand seals, he had the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in his hands again …
To be able to immediately figure out this point, Liu Hao could be considered quite capable. Ye Xiu immediately praised him: "Your ability to read the match is very outstanding, but you're always unable to put 100% of your attention into the match. There are too many things you care about …"
These clichés again!
Liu Hao was annoyed, but in this dangerous situation, he really didn't have the energy to type and argue with Ye Xiu. Spellblades clearly had higher Spirit Resistance than Thieves, so even though his Absent Sun entered the Ice Boundary, he was only slowed. He wasn't instantly frozen to death like Doubtful Demon. He had to find a way to quickly get out of the Ice Boundary, but with Lord Grim glaring at him like a tiger watching its prey, would he have the chance?
Then, Lord Grim suddenly turned his head.
Liu Hao was startled.
Crap!
He realized. Cleric, their Cleric! They had launched a surprise attack, and then Happy had ambushed them here and there, diverting their attention. Cleric, they had completely forgotten to protect their Cleric.
But … where was he?
Liu Hao was startled again. Ruan Yongbin's Soul Healer shouldn't be far behind them. How come he was nowhere to be seen?
Did he hide? This guy really was a ghost!
Liu Hao sighed. This Wind Howl was worthy of being a team that had produced a master of playing dirty. His style affected everyone. Apart from the players who had recently changed their HP. Ruan Yongbin, even though he was just a Cleric, clearly had a dirty style. However, the master of playing dirty that affected everyone in Wind Howl was currently in Happy's Boundary! Where was Fang Rui? Where was Hai Wuliang?
Liu Hao suddenly realized that apart from the trash talk he had spouted at the beginning, he hadn't appeared again.
“!!!”
Just as he thought this, a request for help from their Cleric popped up in Wind Howl's team chat … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
