Where did Deception go?
The viewers, who had an omniscient view, obviously knew the answer. The Blue Rain fans in the stadium were more concerned about whether or not Song Xiao knew the answer to this question.
But from the looks of it … he didn't. Song Xiao's rhythm didn't change in the slightest. Receding Tides was still very cautious as he walked through the forest, constantly rotating his vision. When Deception's figure appeared, he had turned his view in another direction. This could be said to be his bad luck.
However, constantly changing his view made it difficult for Mo Fan to find a place to ambush him. After Deception hid his figure, he carefully and patiently followed Receding Tides. Bit by bit, he closed the distance between the two.
In the misty forest, visibility was protected, so the distance between the two was already very close. However, this was still a very long process. Because he couldn't find a suitable path to close in on, there were times when the distance between Deception and Receding Tides would widen.
But no matter what, Deception continued to hide behind Receding Tides, never getting shaken off.
One minute, two minutes …
Mo Fan used two minutes to cover this distance, which normally would have taken him an instant. He did it so carefully because he didn't want Song Xiao to notice.
100% health against 28% health. In everyone's eyes, the previous encounter was more than enough. Rushing up and directly attacking might have been enough to end the battle, but Mo Fan still had to carefully ambush him.
The broadcast team was crying. If this continued, wouldn't today's group arena match go on for two hours? Everyone who came out was actually acting like this.
But now, after two minutes and forty-one seconds, Mo Fan seemed to have finally reached a distance that he was satisfied with. When Song Xiao turned his view in another direction, Deception, who was using Disappearing Body Technique, stealthily appeared. His hands quickly formed seals.
Ninjutsu: Shadow Dance.
More than ten Deception's shadow clones instantly surrounded Receding Tides. More than ten ninjato were raised, and like leaves, they floated down towards Receding Tides.
Ninjato, Silver weapon, sixteen leaves.
When this silver weapon was first revealed, everyone was startled. The number one Ninja in the pro scene, Team Misty Rain's Dark Forest's Silver Ninja Blade, was called Sixteen Nights. It was only one word different from Deception's Ninja Blade, but the pronunciation was exactly the same.
The names of the Silver equipment were automatically given by the system. For the sake of publicity, the clubs would sometimes dig into the meaning of the equipment's name. Dark Forest's Silver weapon, Ninja Blade Sixteen Nights, had a chance to cause blindness. Perhaps this was the origin of this night. But what was Deception's Sixteen Leaves?
Happy's side was not like the big clubs that had a mature action system. Being able to seriously train well and play well in matches was all they had. Results were all they had. Other aspects of publicity were not done that well yet. Even if there were some sponsors involved in the promotion, it didn't involve Deception, who hadn't appeared much in the beginning of Happy.
Because Mo Fan hadn't appeared much, the teams weren't too clear on the exact stats of Sixteen Leaves.
But at this moment, he quietly appeared with the help of Disappearing Body Technique. In an instant, Shadow Dance surrounded him. More than ten ninjato floated down, fluttering in the wind like leaves in a circle.
Sixteen leaves? Was that how it was named?
The audience might not have thought so much, but the commentator was very sharp. In this instant, they immediately found a selling point for Happy's Deception.
"Sixteen leaves!" Pan Lin yelled. As he yelled, Deception's ninjato floated down, and then bright red blood instantly dyed everyone's vision red …
"All hits!" Pan Lin yelled again.
But in the end, no one could really tell whether or not all of them had hit. It was just that the blood spurting out of the blade was truly dazzling. Even in the game, very few Shadow Dancers would be able to successfully hit their opponent at the same time with a bunch of Shadow Doppelgangers. This wasn't something that could be done just because the opponent wasn't prepared for it. Even if it was a wooden stake, it wouldn't be easy for a player to control so many Shadow Clones and find the right angle to attack at the same time. In Glory, it was impossible for characters to overlap each other through their bodies. Even though teammates were immune to damage, they would still block each other's path. Shadow Dance's Shadow Clones were also Shadow Clones, so of course it was the same. In this instant, Shadow Dance's attacks had all hit at the same time. This wasn't just because Song Xiao wasn't prepared for it, but because Mo Fan's control of the water level was also extremely brilliant.
"Beautiful!" Li Yibo also cheered along with Pan Lin. But in this instant, the live broadcast director was conflicted. This was a very exciting moment, but from the perspective of the camera, this moment was a bit too gory.
However, this bloody moment passed very quickly. Just as the director was in a daze, wondering if he should cut this scene out quickly, the bloody scene had already ended. Blood splattered everywhere on the ground. It was as if flowers had bloomed and fallen leaves had fallen. It was a scene that was incomparably beautiful.
But just as everyone was cheering for Mo Fan's brilliant sneak attack, Receding Tides, who had been hit multiple times, suddenly raised his two arms and spun in a circle. A wave of qi that shouldn't have appeared on a Qi Master's body was projected from his two spinning arms. The leaves of the surrounding trees began to twist due to the centripetal force of the spinning qi. The densely packed Deception surrounding Receding Tides was also able to sway.
Spiraling Whirlwind Kill!
Someone immediately recognized it. This wasn't a Qi Master skill, but rather a Grappler skill of the same class! Using the centripetal force of the spinning, it was a Level 70 skill that twisted all targets within range to death!
Of the dozen or so Shadow Clones, no matter which one was the heart of a Shadow Dance, they were all under Receding Tides' control, unable to escape. Grab skills had always had the highest priority in Glory.
Within the whirlwind, Receding Tides flew up. His body and his two arms were still spinning in the air like a top. Because of this, the qigong he brought out caused the dozen or so Deceptions to be unable to move. Following this wave of qi, the Deceptions were also slowly lifted off the ground …
Boom …
A muffled sound rang out from the forest. Spiraling Whirlwind Kill originally didn't have such a powerful sound effect, but the effect of Receding Tides's Spiraling Whirlwind Kill on his weapon was too astonishing. He had completely gathered the dozen or so characters together …
If there was only one target, then the Grappler would act as the target, jump, flip, and fall, dealing a large amount of damage. But at this moment, there were too many targets. This level one Spiraling Whirlwind Kill seemed to be unable to control it. This jump was on the verge of falling. None of the targets were controlled by their hands. They were only lifted up by their qi. Flipping them around was even more impossible. Not long after Receding Tides jumped up, he began to fall. As for the Deceptions that had been lifted up by this skill, they immediately fell to the ground.
No matter what, this attack had priority of a grab skill. The Deceptions hadn't been lifted up too high, so they hadn't been flipped around. This meant that the attack's damage was a bit low, but the target wouldn't be able to easily escape.
Boom boom boom boom … boom!
The dozen or so Deceptions fell to the ground first. Receding Tides, carrying the qi from his Spiraling Whirlwind Kill, was the last one to fall to the ground. With the heaviest sound, the shockwave that spread out sent the pile of Deceptions flying in all directions.
The entire stadium was silent for a long time. In this instant, the stadium erupted in cheers and applause.
"Song Xiao isn't completely defenseless!" Li Yibo sighed.
"Song Xiao's attention is really focused. Even though Mo Fan's sneak attack succeeded, it was quickly neutralized by him," Pan Lin said.
"Yes!" Li Yibo immediately added, "Spiraling Whirlwind Kill doesn't activate very quickly, but Receding Tides was able to use it in that instant. He had a certain amount of foresight. The instant Shadow Dance activated, Song Xiao made an accurate decision. But he had predicted that under the dense sneak attack of a Shadow Dance, he wouldn't be able to dodge it no matter what. As a result, he took the attack head on and quickly activated Spiraling Whirlwind Kill! "
"And even though Spiraling Whirlwind Kill doesn't activate quickly, it has high priority. Even though so many Deceptions slashed at Receding Tides, they weren't able to interrupt the skill's activation! "Pan Lin continued.
"Yes, so after taking the attack head on, Mo Fan's offensive was broken by Song Xiao," Li Yibo said.
"Team Blue Rain's defensive ability is truly incredible …" Pan Lin said.
The two of them quickly analyzed the current situation. However, the reason why the two of them were able to speak so happily was definitely not because the two players' reactions were slow. On the contrary, Mo Fan's reaction was extremely fast. After Spiraling Whirlwind Kill fell to the ground, the pile of Deceptions swayed left and right. However, a few of them got up and scattered in all directions.
Song Xiao had no way of figuring out which of the fleeing Deceptions had the Heart of Shadow Dance. Even if he knew, it would be useless. The Heart of Shadow Dance could be transferred.
In the end, it was still because his Spiraling Whirlwind was only level one, so the force behind it wasn't enough. He couldn't completely control so many characters, so in the final moment of the attack, he still left an opening.
Mo Fan was very nimble. Taking advantage of this opening, he immediately had Deception dodge.
Pu pu pu pu …
As the Deception with the Heart of Shadow Dance escaped, the Shadow Clones instantly turned into a cloud of smoke.
Mo Fan's Deception ran away, instantly disappearing into the dense clouds of the forest. Song Xiao couldn't tell which was the real one among all those fleeing shadows.
Deception had escaped, but he was still right behind him. Immediately, he charged out again!

The web page wouldn't open for a long time. He thought something had gone wrong … but then he realized that he hadn't turned on his router … how embarrassing …
