Shining Cut! Charge! Colliding Stab!
Lord Grim instantly used three movement skills, moving in a triangle and attacking each of the three characters.
The three players all dodged, so Lord Grim didn't hit any of them. However, this triangle attack was like kicking a path of sand, forcefully kicking out three trenches.
What a guy!
Tyranny and the others looked at the three trenches in astonishment. They didn't think that Ye Xiu would be able to find the key point so quickly.
The sand dune was sliding down, but Tyranny and the others, who were also on the sand dune, were in a very stable area.
Why? How did he do it?
Ye Xiu wasn't clear on the details, but he clearly remembered that Tyranny's two Gunners had started shooting at the sand dune. At first, he thought that their goal was to raise the sand to hide their movements. Now, looking at it again, besides raising the sand, their shooting was most likely related to the movement of the sand dune.
Using attacks to carve a hole in the sand, collapsing it and causing the movement of the sand dune, was the only theory that Ye Xiu could think of. As a result, he didn't hesitate to draw three trenches.
In the blink of an eye, the three trenches were flattened. Ye Xiu felt the movement of the sand under Lord Grim's feet, and knew that his guess was correct.
With the movement of the sand dune, Team Tyranny's little safe harbor would immediately be affected if they didn't make a big move.
Tyranny and the others knew better than Ye Xiu that they couldn't stay here for long. They began to retreat, but Bai Yanfei was startled.
His path out of this area had actually been sealed off by Lord Grim. This guy, how many decisions did he make in the short time he rushed down? He canceled Falling Light Blade, dodged Desert Dust's attack, and attacked the three while creating a movement. At the same time, he chose the final position to block off Bai Yanfei's Rota.
Fortunately, it wasn't only Bai Yanfei who noticed. Tyranny's vice-captain, Zhang Xinjie, that meticulous Zhang Xinjie, also instantly noticed Ye Xiu's intentions.
Cast, Sacred Fire!
Bai Yanfei immediately understood, and Rota began to move.
Lord Grim stepped forward to block his path, but a blazing white flame lit up his path in time.
Ye Xiu immediately had Lord Grim stop. In this short moment, Rota used Teleport and passed through Lord Grim's blockade.
Bang Bang Bang Bang.
Zhang Jiale and Qin Muyun, who had retreated first, also turned around, firing as they retreated. However, the bigger threat was still coming from behind.
Han Wenqing's Desert Dust once again charged forward. From his direction, he was following the direction of the movement of the sand dunes, and took advantage of the momentum to speed up. As expected of Tyranny's home map. Even on the moving sand dunes, Tyranny's players performed much more naturally than Ye Xiu's team.
Boom boom boom!
But this time, before Desert Dust could reach him, he heard an explosion. The sand in front of him was blown up, covering the sky and the earth. Even though it wasn't much of a barrier, it completely blocked Han Wenqing's line of sight. On the other side was Ye Xiu's crafty opponent. No matter how bold Han Wenqing was, he wouldn't dare close in on Ye Xiu's character with his eyes closed.
Twist, change direction!
Han Wenqing didn't even get close to the wave of sand, in case Ye Xiu took the opportunity to do something. As he twisted his body, he looked behind him and saw Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain sliding down the sand dunes. The sandstorm didn't differentiate between friend and foe. Su Mucheng had moved her Dancing Rain into the sandstorm, so Tyranny couldn't accurately judge her movements. When she suddenly appeared in Han Wenqing's field of view, she was already halfway down the sand dunes.
No, it wasn't just Dancing Rain.
Hai Wuliang, Han Yanrou, Fang Rui, and Tang Rou all appeared at the same time.
Dragon Breaks the Ranks! Han Yanrou raised her spear and charged forward. A yellow dragon wrapped in fine sand swept towards Desert Dust. Dragon Breaks the Ranks' powerful momentum not only didn't obstruct the quicksand, it actually increased its momentum.
On one side was Ye Xiu, who might be hiding behind the sand, and on the other side was the powerful charge of Dragon Breaks the Ranks. The two threats formed a pincer attack. Lord Grim's position wasn't just to cut off Rota's path of retreat, it was also to maintain an offensive stance towards Desert Smoke. While Tyranny and the others focused on supporting Bai Yanfei, Su Mucheng coordinated with Ye Xiu's support and blocked off Han Wenqing's path of retreat.
Just a single position was enough to hide so many intentions. This was what an expert was like!
But Han Wenqing was also an expert.
Since there was no opening, he could only force his way through. This was what he liked.
Reinforced Iron Bones!
As he moved, he activated Super Armor. Desert Dust stepped out of the sand and dodged Han Yanrou's Dragon Breaks the Ranks. But what was Lord Grim hiding in front of him?
His two hands reached into the sand. In each hand, he held the two halves of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella in the shape of a tonfa.
Grab skill!
Han Wenqing immediately figured it out.
As expected, he could only force his way through. This guy had seen through it. When he forced his way through, he would activate Reinforced Iron Bones. This guy had also seen through it.
Grab skills ignored the Super Armor status.
But you guessed it, and I also guessed it.
Stomach Kick!
Desert Dust lifted his leg. His movement was so fast that only the afterimage of his leg could be seen. Then, a "pa" sound could be heard. This Stomach Kick was so fast that it created a sonic boom.
He had moved later, but it was enough to reach first.
But it missed!
To be able to dodge such a fast Stomach Kick, it seemed that the opponent had already predicted his next move.
Han Wenqing didn't hesitate. As he retracted his Stomach Kick, he raised his other leg.
Whirlwind Kick!
The raised leg made his body spin, kicking up a large amount of sand.
His body turned, but his head was firmly planted in this direction. Clearly, Han Wenqing had adjusted his view while using the skill.
Whirlwind Kick could be dodged again, but there was no way to avoid the sand.
Hualala …
Sand fell like rain and smashed into the figure like beans exploding. In an instant, a silhouette was outlined in his vision.
Whirlwind Kick fell, Flying Kick rose, chasing after that silhouette. The purpose of this Whirlwind Kick wasn't to attack the opponent, but to kick up the sand.
Pa!
After so many guesses, this kick finally landed. But as soon as the kick landed, Han Wenqing immediately knew that this kick had landed on the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield.
It couldn't be helped. They were too familiar with each other. After kicking up the sand, he would attack Ye Xiu. The attack was too fast for him to dodge, but raising the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's shield wasn't a problem.
Borrowing the force of the jump, Eagle Stamp.
Han Wenqing subconsciously wanted to do this, but suddenly a thought flashed through his mind.
Wasn't his subconscious habit something that Ye Xiu would be able to predict? In the face of such an old and familiar opponent, he had to be as awkward as possible to give him a little surprise.
But in this moment of hesitation, Han Wenqing immediately felt the air beneath Desert Dust's feet. Lord Grim had already put away his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.
A cold light flashed and a sword appeared under the umbrella.
Only then did Han Wenqing realize that Desert Dust had been left hanging in the air. It was as if he had been picked up into the air.
In this moment of hesitation, Han Wenqing went from being proactive to passive. However, Han Wenqing did not panic. Desert Dust, who was in mid-air, straightened his body and used Thousand Pound Drop!
He had already activated Reinforced Iron Bones and used Thousand Ton Drop. No matter how strong the attack was, it wouldn't be able to shake Desert Dust's floating body. Han Wenqing was prepared to take this attack head-on. But when the sword light flashed, Han Wenqing suddenly realized that something was wrong.
This sword light didn't cause any damage, but wherever the sword light passed, it seemed to slash apart the void, flowing with a different kind of strange power. Because of the yellow sand, Han Wenqing was only able to see it clearly when it was right in front of him. However, it was already too late for him to react.
Spellblade skill, Wave Wheel Slasher!
The sword light cut through the air. The magic waves formed a barrier, locking down the target. Swordsman classes, whether they were Spellblades or not, this grab sword skill that could break Super Armor was a must-learn.
If his opponent was a Swordsman, Han Wenqing would definitely be on guard against this skill.
But because his opponent was Ye Xiu, because he was an unspecialized, in such a fast-paced battle, Han Wenqing still missed this move.
This was the problem that unspecialized characters brought to everyone. No matter how familiar they were with Ye Xiu, they weren't familiar with an unspecialized character. The more experienced a player was, the more likely they would be to guard against all possible attacks based on the opponent's class. This type of subconscious reflex was completely useless against an unspecialized.
And Han Wenqing, who was incomparably familiar with Ye Xiu, would subconsciously take the path of a Battle Mage. He had to forcefully change his habits and make himself realize that his opponent wasn't using One Leaf Of Autumn. Then, he could sort out the skills that an unspecialized character could use. In addition, every form of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had different skills. In theory, this meant that he had all the skills in Glory apart from class advancement skills and awakening skills. A person wasn't a calculator. How much mental power did one need to sort out all the possible skills when facing an opponent?
Unspecialized characters were unsolvable.
This had nothing to do with consciousness or experience. It was just that Lord Grim's current form had already broken the limits of thought. In such a fast-paced battle, it was impossible to predict the skills of an unspecialized character. Even an old opponent who understood Ye Xiu's style and was familiar with his habits couldn't figure out his next choice. There were too many skills.
Familiarity became a burden at this time. Familiarity meant that subconscious decisions could make mistakes.
Han Wenqing had been trying very hard to tell himself that this guy wasn't a Battle Mage.
But just this kind of self-confession wasn't enough to overcome the habits and intuition he had developed over the past eight years of fighting. The intuition and judgment that came out without thinking in a crisis was something that had been developed over the years. And then, it became incomplete.
"Difficult to deal with!" The evaluation from ten years ago seemed to be more appropriate today.
