After using Eagle Stamp, Desert Dust was like an eagle spreading its wings in the air, standing out from the rest. The audience applauded loudly. They might not have understood Han Wenqing's true intentions, but at least in that scene, Desert Dust had indeed used Eagle Stamp to kick Lord Grim into the lava. Even if Desert Dust fell into the lava, it would only take a moment! But just that one kick was enough to make the Tyranny audience feel like they had the upper hand.
"It's not that simple!" But some sharp-eyed experts saw that Lord Grim was still moving after falling into the lava. Was Ye Xiu someone who would be defeated so easily? Of course not, this guy was still in the mood to talk trash!
Hand Seal!
Because of the fall of the lava, Lord Grim's hands quickly made a Ninjutsu seal, and in an instant, he completed a ninjutsu seal.
Although falling into the lava was natural, Lord Grim had finally gotten rid of Desert Dust's close-range attacks and could finally use some other skills.
Whoosh!
With a soft sound, Lord Grim turned into a cloud of steam in the lava. The Shadow Clone's meager health was instantly evaporated by the heat of the lava.
Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Lord Grim was using this Ninjutsu that was often used as a teleportation skill.
Where would the real body go?
Pa! Splash!
With two sounds, the lava churned. The place where Lord Grim's Shadow Clone had just evaporated, Lord Grim appeared …
What happened? Everyone was at a loss.
Of course, this was definitely not the place where Ye Xiu's real body was supposed to go, so there was only one explanation, the Shadow Clone Jutsu had been interrupted.
Replay, everyone needed a replay, no one could understand what had happened in that instant.
Only the two players on the field knew.
Eagle Stamp … the sixth kick!
After the five Eagle Stomps, Ye Xiu immediately used his Shadow Clone Technique. However, he did not expect that there would be a sixth stomp right after the fifth stomp. It was this stomp that interrupted the Shadow Clone Technique. The one that was vaporized by the lava was only a failed clone. The real body did not manage to escape and was trampled to the ground by this stomp.
The sixth Eagle Stomp was indeed out of Ye Xiu's expectations, but he did not find it too illogical.
Eagle Stamp's original limit was five kicks. After the level cap was released at Level 75, the skill's tier had also increased. However, Eagle Stamp's number of kicks remained at five. However, this upper level limit was only the upper limit that could be reached by adding skill points to the skill tree. Or, equipment that increased the level of a skill could break this upper limit and continue to increase it.
Evidently, Lone Desert Smoke had equipment that increased the level of his Eagle Stamp, allowing him to unleash six kicks in a row.
It was really hard to know without seeing the skill being used. The attributes of Silver equipment were all hidden. In the past ten years, Lone Desert Smoke's character did not have a single piece of Orange equipment.
The audience still did not understand what had happened, but it was clear that the Shadow Clone Technique had been broken. Whatever, let's applaud first!
Amidst the applause, Lord Grim swung his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and leapt out of the lava like a dragon emerging from the sea. The flames on his body turned into lava and slid down to the ground, creating a rain of fire with a crackling sound.
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella didn't change shape and directly smashed towards Desert Dust.
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's unchanged form was a Priest weapon. As a result, some people were able to determine what skill Lord Grim had used.
Knight skill: Heroic Leap!
Han Wenqing was helpless! Too helpless. He could predict the Shadow Clone Technique. After all, it was a Level 20 and below unspecialized skill. It was very suitable to use in this situation. As a result, he had paused after the fifth Eagle Stamp to give Ye Xiu an opening. When Ye Xiu formed the hand seals, Desert Smoke's sixth stomp accurately broke the Ninjutsu.
But now, Heroic Leap …
It wasn't a Level 20 or below skill, which meant that it was a Priest skill added to the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. Apart from Class Change Skills and Awakening Skills, as long as there was a Skill Scroll, it was possible to create a Skill Scroll for any mid to high leveled skill. The various teams often used this to adjust the skills on their characters' weapons to surprise their opponents. But there had never been a character that had a weapon like the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. Twelve forms, twelve added skills, covering all six classes. This was too big of a surprise. There was no way to accept it.
Han Wenqing could predict the Shadow Clone Technique, but there was no way he could predict the Heroic Leap.
However, Han Wenqing was able to take some precautions.
Reinforced Iron Bones!
Before Desert Dust had used Eagle Stamp, he had already activated Reinforced Iron Bones. Right now, he was still in this state. Han Wenqing wanted to use Super Armor to defend against any unexpected damage that Ye Xiu might cause. He never believed that he could completely suppress Ye Xiu. Otherwise, the Alliance's early legends would have been the Tyranny Dynasty and not the Excellent Era Dynasty.
At this moment, Heroic Leap allowed Lord Grim to leap out of the lava. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's chop also looked frightening. But Han Wenqing knew that this chop was just for show. Heroic Leap's attack priority would only appear when the user landed. No matter how exaggerated Lord Grim's posture was in the air, his Desert Dust's punch would be enough to send him flying.
But Han Wenqing didn't want to do that.
If he sent him flying with a punch, he might be able to shake him back to the ground and then fall into the lava. Wouldn't that be suicide?
His plan didn't change!
He wasn't afraid of falling into the lava, but no matter what, he had to drag this guy down with him.
In the air, Desert Dust was already in position. Han Wenqing stared at Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.
Shua!
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella transformed!
As expected!
Han Wenqing wasn't surprised at all. He had already guessed that Ye Xiu wouldn't really use Heroic Leap to attack him. That wouldn't even break through Desert Dust's Super Armor.
He would definitely change his move. There would definitely be other attacks.
Han Wenqing guessed correctly. Ye Xiu's gaze never left the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella rapidly changed forms as it swung towards Desert Dust.
I've been waiting for you!
Desert Dust's hands overlapped, Empty-Handed Blade Block!
Locked!
His two fists firmly locked onto the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. Dismantle skill. After blocking, it would be dismantling.
Go down!
Desert Dust borrowed power from the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and sent out a palm, wanting to send Lord Grim back into the lava. But to his surprise, his palm hit nothing.
How was that possible?
Han Wenqing, who had been a Striker for ten years, had never seen Empty-Handed Blade Block hit nothing after locking onto the weapon. A Dismantle skill was a block and a dismantle. Even though it was split into two parts, it was still one. After blocking, the opponent wouldn't be able to dodge the dismantle no matter what.
Although the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's attack had been blocked by Empty-Handed Blade Block, its transformation was complete. The umbrella's handle was pulled open, but the umbrella's ribs were squeezed together with the umbrella's surface, as if they would fall off at any moment.
This transformation was … a scythe!
From a Knight's sword to a scythe, it was still a Priest weapon. This meant that this transformation didn't affect the skill transition at all, because the skills that could be used were still Priest skills.
A Priest class skill …
Lord Grim pulled back the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and its form changed again. It quickly split into two and flew into Lord Grim's left and right hands as if it had grown wings.
Fly …
Han Wenqing finally reacted.
Spirit Guidance!
The Exorcist skill Spirit Guidance directly sent the weapon flying to attack the target. In other words, when the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella swung from a Knight's sword to a scythe, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella wasn't in Lord Grim's hands. It was a flying item.
A Dismantle skill against a flying item could only block, but not dismantle. When the opponent was more than ten steps away from you, how could you dismantle it?
Even though Lord Grim was extremely close to Desert Dust, the judgement was the same. Empty-Handed Blade Block had obtained a flying item, so that block hadn't completely locked onto Lord Grim's body. That meant that Lord Grim could naturally dodge that dismantle.
After neutralizing Desert Dust's attack, the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella split into two pieces. A cold light flashed and shot out.
Brawler skill, Poison Needle!
Another weapon added skill. At such a close distance, there was no time to dodge.
The Poison Needle didn't deal much damage and the bleed effect wasn't scary, but the Poison Needle could break Super Armor!
Lord Grim's Poison Needle was only level one, but it could break Super Armor for five seconds. For this current situation, it was more than enough to kill. Five seconds was enough for the two of them to fall into the lava eight times.
Almost at the same time as the Poison Needle, Lord Grim's foot stepped out.
There was no way to dodge in the air and Super Armor was broken. Han Wenqing could only have Desert Dust swing his fists to block.
Pa pa pa … Plop … Pa pa …
Eagle Stamp!
Lord Grim also used Eagle Stamp. At this moment, he didn't care if it dealt damage or if the opponent blocked it. Three Eagle Stamp kicked Desert Dust into the lava. Then, Lord Grim continued to step on him!
The applause was still ringing …
Tyranny's fans definitely wouldn't applaud for Ye Xiu. The Happy fans couldn't do that in Tyranny's home stadium. This applause was from when Desert Dust broke Lord Grim's Shadow Clone Technique and sent him back into the lava.
But the situation changed so quickly. Amidst everyone's applause, Lord Grim used Heroic Leap, Spirit Guidance to trick Desert Dust into using Empty-Handed Blade Block, Poison Needle to break Super Armor, and Eagle Stamp to send Desert Dust into the lava!
This was the reaction time and mechanics of a top pro player. It was too slow to count in seconds. The Super Armor audience didn't even have time to stop applauding before Ye Xiu completed his series of actions. The one who fell into the lava was their captain.
There were no words to describe how fast this exchange happened. How long could a character stay in the air? But in that short moment, the battle between the two had so many changes.
Desert Dust finally fell into the lava. Lord Grim used Eagle Stamp to stay in the air. With so many unspecialized tricks, no one knew if he would be able to return to land.
Han Wenqing couldn't do anything either, but he knew that if he let Lord Grim return to land, he would lose for sure!
No matter what, he had to drag him down!
Desert Dust's figure flashed in the lava. Cloud Body! He reached out with one hand and grabbed Lord Grim's leg from an extremely tricky angle as he was about to pull it back after using Eagle Stomp.
Just a bit more!!
Desert Dust hadn't reached the bottom yet. His body was still sinking. Even though he had reached out with his hand, the sinking made it seem like his grab was still a bit off.
But at this moment, Lord Grim's body suddenly sank. His bare feet fell into Desert Dust's hands as if they had been delivered to his doorstep.
Was this some sort of scheme?
Many of the more cautious players thought that Ye Xiu had intentionally set up a trap, but the experts could see that Ye Xiu hadn't done it on purpose. He was helpless and passive. Desert Dust's single hand wasn't a normal move.
Grappler skill: Overhead Toss!
This was the skill that Han Wenqing had chosen for his Desert Dust in today's life and death battle.
Overhead Toss was a grappling skill that had extremely high priority. It was because of this skill's high priority that Desert Dust could pull down a target that wasn't completely in contact.
Swing!
Lava splashed everywhere.
This time, Lord Grim didn't fall. He simply sunk. With a single swing of Desert Dust's arm, Lord Grim was cleaved in half by the lava. But as the lava fell back down, Lord Grim's entire body was swallowed up in an instant.
Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't know what would happen if someone sank in the lava of this map. Intuition told them that not even their bones would be left, right?
Han Wenqing didn't dare to relax. Desert Dust stepped forward. He was going to continue attacking Lord Grim based on his own judgment. But who knew that just as he took two steps, a figure suddenly flew out from behind Desert Dust. It was like a burning ball of fire that crashed into Desert Dust.
Ninjutsu: Underground Tunneling Technique!

This Ten Years Duel was written in such a soul-stirring manner! It's my thirtieth birthday. I'm getting old just like those two! (Damn, I'm actually older than them. Where's Old Wei? Get out of here and compare who's younger) I have to give these two an answer on the day I turn 30!
