Pretending to be hit … … This move made everyone's jaws drop. There was nothing that Fang Rui couldn't do. This was how this genius broke through everyone's expectations.
But then again, it wasn't easy to trick someone in the pro scene with this kind of technique.
First of all, if the attack didn't hit, the pro players would have a certain level of skill. Second of all, if the attack didn't hit, the system's health statistics wouldn't match the fake attack.
But now that Fang Rui had succeeded, Lu Hanwen had clearly overlooked these two points.
Lu Hanwen had two years of experience as a main roster player. He had far more experience than the average second-year rookie. But Fang Rui dared to use this kind of trick on him that was used to trick children and newbies. In the end, he really succeeded. Naturally, it wasn't without reason.
First of all, Lu Hanwen's attention was completely focused on Hai Wuliang's movements, so he didn't pay too much attention to Hai Wuliang's health. Second of all, the offense was tight, and the tempo was fast. Falling Blossom Form had high priority. As long as the opponent was lightly touched, the opponent would be forced to fall to the ground. As a result, in terms of skill control, it was a bit lacking. Lu Hanwen had also increased his offense, so he had indeed overlooked it.
And from these various reasons, it could be seen that Fang Rui wasn't just blindly playing dirty. He had also used his brain to make this judgment.
Flowing Cloud took the full brunt of this attack, and the damage was not low. Everyone thought that this opening would be enough for Fang Rui to have Hai Wuliang escape the battle. No one expected that he would have Hai Wuliang take the initiative to charge forward.
"Is Fang Rui really planning on a direct attack?" Pan Lin cried out in alarm. Before Fang Rui had Hai Wuliang make a move, no one dared to make any assumptions about his actions.
Spiral Qi Rush!
In the end, it looked like Hai Wuliang really was planning on a direct attack. With a Spiral Qi Rush, his hands churned out a spiral of qi, bringing his character forward to intercept Drifting Cloud.
In midair, Drifting Cloud could use a skill like Falling Light Blade to change his falling path, but the Spiral Qi Rush's range increased. Drifting Cloud's path was also within the range of the Spiral Qi Rush's Falling Light Blade. Falling Wind Rush had a greater range, but he had just used it, so it was still on cooldown.
In an instant, Lu Hanwen showed his quick reaction speed. Drifting Cloud Cloud once again stepped on the tree behind him...
Rising Dragon's Fall!
Liu Yun, who was descending from the sky, borrowed the force of the tree to rise instead of descending, slashing towards the sky.
Boom!
Hai Wuliang's Spiral Qi Rush landed on the tree. The qi swept up branches and leaves, and the entire tree shook violently.
Hai Wuliang's figure had already turned. His two palms were folded together. He gathered qi, but didn't release it. When Drifting Cloud's Rising Dragon Slash ended and he began to fall again, Hai Wuliang suddenly pushed out his palms.
Spirit Reaches to the Rainbow!
The qi from his palms was extremely dense. It was like an arch bridge, rushing towards Drifting Cloud in midair.
Lu Hanwen had expected that after dodging Rising Dragon Slash, he wouldn't be able to land on the ground so easily. Just as Rising Dragon Slash's momentum faded, Flowing Cloud pressed his sword down with both hands.
Falling Light Blade!
In the end, Drifting Cloud still used this skill. He immediately fell from the sky. Fang Rui had expected Lu Hanwen to react this way. He quickly moved the mouse in his right hand. He saw Hai Wuliang's palms shake. Spirit Reaches to the Rainbow's arc suddenly changed in the direction of Drifting Cloud's fall.
But … …
Liu Yun fell, and in an instant, he disappeared without a trace.
Boom!
The tree that had just been hit by the Spiral Qi Rush hadn't stopped trembling. It was immediately hit by Spirit Reaches to the Rainbow.
It turned out that Drifting Cloud's Falling Light Blade had landed behind the tree. Although Fang Rui had adjusted the direction of Spirit Reaches to the Rainbow, he couldn't make the qi draw a circle. He didn't have time to chase after Drifting Cloud and crashed into the tree.
Hualalala!
After being hit by the qi, the tree's branches and leaves trembled. The sound of friction rang out incessantly.
He missed again, but Fang Rui wasn't discouraged. He immediately had Boundless Sea move to the side to receive Flowing Cloud, who was about to fall from the sky. However, when he pulled the camera over, Drifting Cloud clearly didn't appear.
How could this be?
Fang Rui was stunned. Drifting Cloud had walked behind the tree and disappeared? Was this magic?
The audience's omniscient view was extremely clear. The commentator Pan Lin and guest Li Yibo were wildly praising Lu Hanwen's cleverness.
"The angle of Rising Dragon Slash was used to set up the foundation for this Falling Light Blade," Li Yibo said first.
"Afterwards, the Falling Light Blade character also used precise control to hide behind the tree. Then, he cancelled the skill and bumped into the tree, changing the direction of his fall."
Blue Rain seemed to have formed an indissoluble bond with the tree in this playoffs. In the last round, it was Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain that had half of his life in the tree. But this time, it was Lu Hanwen who had his Drifting Cloud bump into the tree, finally escaping Fang Rui's continuous attacks. And this move of his was very coincidental and unexpected. Fang Rui, who hadn't noticed him, didn't realize what had happened either. He was still using his experience as a master of playing dirty to carefully explore the terrain, looking for the secret behind Drifting Cloud's mysterious disappearance. But when Hai Wuliang took another step, Meteor Form! Sword Arrival!
This move was extremely fast, so fast that Fang Rui couldn't react in this situation. Blood splattered everywhere, and Fang Rui's vision was dyed red.
"Oh oh oh oh!" The crowd cheered.
The master of playing dirty, Fang Rui, who had ambushed others all his life, was now being ambushed by one of their players. How satisfying!
Fang Rui had no way of dodging the attack, but he was able to react quickly after being hit. Borrowing the direction of the sword, Hai Wuliang immediately retreated, but the sword light had already chased after him!
Sword Draw!
After the peak high-level Meteor Form, there was a very low-level Sword Draw. But the similarity between these two skills was that they were both very fast. Meteor Form retreated after one strike, followed by a Sword Draw. The two sword lights crisscrossed, making it hard for people to believe that these were two skills.
"This is still a greatsword …" Li Yibo always liked to remind everyone that Lu Hanwen's Drifting Cloud was still wielding a greatsword, so that everyone would realize how fast it would be if it wasn't a greatsword, but a tachi or a lightsaber.
Fang Rui couldn't dodge this sword that was too fast, and his chest was torn open by the Flame Shadow. Hai Wuliang couldn't help but stagger backwards.
Did he lose his balance?
No!
It was an act!
This time, the director's eyes were very fast, and he quickly caught sight of Hai Wuliang's staggered retreat. His hand was already circulating qi, and then he quietly swiped it outwards.
Qi Blade!
Sending out a Qi Blade at such a close distance.
Lu Hanwen, who was hurriedly chasing after him, felt as if the fog in front of him had wrapped into a ball and was flying towards him. He hurriedly controlled Drifting Cloud to roll to the side.
Qi Blade!
Hai Wuliang, who was still staggering, suddenly jumped into the air. His hands pressed down, and qi flowed down like a waterfall, directly towards the direction Drifting Cloud had rolled to.
Drifting Cloud, who was still rolling, hadn't straightened his body, but his sword was already raised.
Sword Falling Sky!
This move was raised as Drifting Cloud got up.
Boom!
The qi that flew down smashed into Drifting Cloud's face, but the resplendent sword qi cut through it, cutting through the air and cutting down Hai Wuliang in midair.
Drifting Cloud couldn't stand up straight from the qi, and Hai Wuliang was struck down by the Sword Falling Sky. He rolled twice on the ground to disperse the force.
The two characters were both riddled with wounds, but after dispersing the attack, they immediately got up and continued to face off.
"Fang Rui really didn't run away, but his playstyle … …" Pan Lin said.
"Playing dirty isn't just about running here and there!" Li Yibo said.
"That's right." Pan Lin nodded.
The Wretched Style was a very big style to begin with. Just like how there were many ways to attack head-on, there were many ways to attack. Playing dirty also had many ways to play dirty.
Fang Rui and Lu Hanwen fought head-on. Feigning death, using Rippling Wave to lose balance and releasing Qi Blades were all extremely dirty playstyles.
Playing dirty wasn't a skill, but a type of awareness, a type of attitude.
And Fang Rui was the spokesperson for this type of attitude. His attitude determined that whether he fought head-on or sneakily, he would always exude a dirty aura.
And in this map, Lu Hanwen had sharp perception and reaction speed against sneak attacks, so the more common and safer style of playing dirty wasn't very effective. As a result, Fang Rui simply fought head-on with Lu Hanwen, adding in the creativity of his dirty playstyle … …
Feigning death, feigning loss of balance … … no one could predict how many more shocking moves this guy would make.
"Fang Rui didn't really take advantage of this map's characteristics. This made Lu Hanwen's vision and reaction speed lose its uses," Pan Lin said.
"But if he doesn't take advantage of the terrain, Fang Rui's abilities will be limited," Li Yibo said.
"An evenly matched match!" Pan Lin sighed.
Yes, evenly matched.
Both sides had already found their own rhythm, and both had entered their best match states. Both were doing their best to display all of their skills.
You come, I go, clashing again and again. The only result after this was the character's health dropping. No one had completely locked onto the upper hand. When Lu Hanwen attacked, he might be counterattacked by Fang Rui's dirty playstyle. When Fang Rui used a combo, it would often be forcefully dispelled by Lu Hanwen's sword skills.
Under these circumstances, Fang Rui's Hai Wuliang's 74% health at the start of the match became a disadvantage that couldn't be erased.
With this, Lu Hanwen won while Drifting Cloud still had 23% health. Blue Rain once again recovered a point. Currently, the two sides were tied in a 3v3.
However, Blue Rain only had two characters left. One of them, Drifting Cloud, only had 23% health. On Happy's side, two characters with 100% health were about to enter the stage.
