Underground Tunneling Technique!
Seeing Lord Grim suddenly emerge from the lava like a man on fire, the entire audience was dumbstruck.
Even though they knew this was just a game, but to come out of the lava like this with his entire body on fire, it still felt incredibly heroic.
Clap?
No way! This is Ye Xiu! How could they clap! Tyranny's fans desperately suppressed their impulses. The applause that had just been for Han Wenqing interrupting the Shadow Clone Technique had instantly become background noise for Ye Xiu's counterattack. Tyranny's fans were unhappy!
They had to restrain themselves. Everyone clenched their teeth. But with such a brilliant and heroic performance, there was no way to boo. That would be too unconscionable.
"Captain, you can do it!" Tyranny's fans could only use this method to divert their attention. They were determined not to enjoy Ye Xiu's performance!
Han Wenqing, who had been ordering Desert Dust to step forward and prepare to follow up with another attack, hadn't expected Ye Xiu's counterattack to come so quickly and so fiercely.
Underground Tunneling Technique, the tip of the blade aimed for the neck. Blood flew out and was instantly evaporated by the boiling lava.
Desert Dust quickly turned around and punched out.
After the Underground Tunneling Technique, was he going to follow it up with a Neck Bind Technique? Any player with a little bit of Glory experience would have made this judgment, let alone Han Wenqing, who had ten years of experience. This punch was completely subconscious judgment and control. It was precise and fast. No Ninja would be able to continue this combo under such an interruption.
But right now, there was no combo.
Han Wenqing instinctively moved out, but then he cursed in his heart.
Geocentric Tunneling Technique followed by Neck Bind Technique was a Ninja's routine. This guy in front of him was not a Ninja at all. Geocentric Tunneling Technique was already a skill added to a weapon. He would not add another Neck Bind Technique just for such a simple combo, right?
Han Wenqing's judgment was correct. The twisting and punching missed. Lord Grim didn't use a Neck Bind Technique.
What could it be?
In an instant, Glory's thousands of skills seemed to explode in his mind. There was no way to predict them.
He could only rely on his experience to fight!
Han Wenqing did not wait for Desert Dust to move again. He immediately used a Stomach Kick. Desert Dust lifted his leg and kicked backwards, aiming for the back.
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Tyranny's fans immediately screamed and clapped. What a beautiful kick! Even when he couldn't see the target behind him, he was still able to accurately kick Lord Grim's heart. This was experience, this was awareness.
But then, they felt their vision blur.
The Lord Grim that he had kicked was only an afterimage. Where was his real body? His real body was already behind Desert Dust. The blade from the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella stabbed into Desert Dust's waist.
Such a vicious and deadly attack, it was obvious that this was an Assassin skill.
Flickering Stab!
An assassination that could instantly crush a distance of one unit might not sound as wonderful as the Body Flickering Stab that could instantly attack three steps away, but a true expert would know that this step of the Flickering Stab was far more sudden than the three steps of the Body Flickering Stab. It was harder to guard against, or it could be said that there was no way to guard against it.
Tyranny's fans clapped and screamed, becoming the background noise for Lord Grim's attacks. But they didn't have time to feel depressed. Their captain had taken a beating, making them burn with impatience. They wanted to swipe their account cards and rush onstage to tear Lord Grim to shreds!
The blade came out, bringing with it a string of blood. But in this crimson lava, blood was no longer a glaring thing. In an instant, it turned into steam.
Back Combo!
Ye Xiu wouldn't miss this opportunity. Lord Grim's attacks landed on Desert Dust's back.
The lava boiled and splashed.
The two characters were in the center of the lava. It was impossible for them to escape from the lava. The lava's damage wasn't low. The two characters' health was already falling rapidly, and the damage was adding fuel to the fire. Anyone could see that this battle wouldn't last long. A combo would be enough to kill the opponent. Victory would be decided in a few seconds, or even less.
Han Wenqing was at a disadvantage. Was he going to lose like this?
Not yet!
Desert Dust suddenly twisted his body.
Double Tiger Palm?
Ye Xiu's experience was truly too plentiful. Just by looking at the movement of the arm and twisting of the body, he was able to determine the opponent's move. He immediately pulled Lord Grim back slightly.
Bang!
Hit?
Ye Xiu was stunned.
It was Double Tiger Palm, but what hit Lord Grim wasn't a palm, but an elbow!
Compared to a palm, an elbow's attack range was half as long, but in this twisting motion, it was faster.
It could actually be used like this.
Ye Xiu was surprised. He had noticed many changes in Han Wenqing's fighting style. Among them, there was no lack of research and modifications to the Striker's fighting style. However, he had never seen Double Tiger Palm used like this before. He didn't know if it was because he never had the chance, or if it was because he was in a dangerous situation and came up with a new idea.
With one attack, Desert Dust took back the initiative. Turning around, he began his attack.
Ferocious Tiger Flurry!
Straightforward and bold, he directly used a high-level skill.
With the lava's damage, would Ferocious Tiger Flurry's damage be enough to end the opponent?
For a moment, no one could tell. For one, they weren't familiar with the map, so there was no data on the lava's damage. For another, Ferocious Tiger Flurry was similar to a Blade Master's Formless Phantom Blade. It was a combo attack skill that required continuous control, so it also depended on the user's control and the opponent's reaction. The skill had been activated, but whether or not it could deal the full damage depended on the situation.
Right now, the first punch, hit!
Ferocious Tiger Flurry was used after the Double Tiger Palm elbow strike. The first punch only straightened the originally bent arm. It came so naturally and so quickly that there was no way to dodge or parry it. Han Wenqing dared to follow up with Ferocious Tiger Flurry after that attack, obviously not just because of his courage and boldness.
After the second punch, the lava churned. He punched again, hit again, but the system's combo count jumped twice. Three hits, four hits!
What? Many people were at a loss. How did it become four hits?
"The third hit is under the lava." This time, Li Yibo's reaction was quite fast. He immediately realized that the third hit was a kick. Because most of his body was under the lava and the lava wasn't as transparent as water, no one noticed the kick.
Five hits!
The combo count jumped again, but this time, the audience let out a sigh of regret. Because Ye Xiu finally responded to this attack. Lord Grim swung the remaining half of his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and parried the attack.
Parry was an attack against an attack. The damage could be completely negated or not, but no matter what, for the attacker, the attack would still hit. It was different from directly dodging the attack.
Immediately after, six hits!
But this attack was once again parried by Lord Grim's other half of his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.
"It's Dual Blade Flow!" someone shouted.
Dual Blade Flow, also known as Dual Blade Flow, was the nemesis of parries, but it was also extremely advantageous when used as a parry. In many situations, by using a special second parry, one could parry skills that had higher priority than one's own attacks. But right now, Han Wenqing's Desert Dust was using Ferocious Tiger Flurry. His attack speed was greatly increased, so it was impossible to parry a second hit. The current Dual Blade Flow could only keep up with the increased attack speed. If it was still a single weapon, then after parrying one hit from Ferocious Tiger Flurry, it definitely wouldn't be able to parry a second hit.
Even so, how could a normal parry based on the characteristics of a weapon completely block the priority of a Level 70 skill?
Every hit looked like it was parried, but in the end, it was still pushed in front of the body. The damage from the attacks was barely negated.
A little bit, but after repeated parries, it had accumulated a bit of damage. Right now, the main damage over time wasn't from the character's attacks, but rather from the burning of the lava. Lord Grim's previous attacks had established a certain advantage. Now, Desert Dust's counterattack was able to catch up. Ye Xiu's parries were clearly trying to lower Desert Dust's DPS.
Everyone stared nervously at the two characters' health bars. Lord Grim had more health, but it was decreasing quickly. Desert Dust had less health, but right now, only the lava was taking damage.
If this continued, who would win?
The health bars were decreasing, and the health bars were closing in.
Ferocious Tiger Flurry had reached its end.
They were even!!
The health bars of the two sides were even!!
The crowd was jubilant. Tyranny's fans were extremely excited. They were going to win! Their health bars were even, but Ferocious Tiger Flurry still had one more hit. The final, strongest hit! After this hit, Desert Dust's health would be in the lead. Even though the lead was small, the health bars of the two sides were about to hit bottom. The lava damage would determine who was first. As long as Desert Dust didn't take any more damage after this hit, the winner would definitely be him!
Bang!
Ferocious Tiger Flurry. The final hit sent Lord Grim flying with a punch. The distance between them was instantly pulled apart. Melee attacks were no longer effective. The lava would immediately determine the winner.
Sword light flashed!
Sword Draw!
Lord Grim, who was flying backwards, actually managed to use a Sword Draw. Desert Dust couldn't take any more attacks. At this moment, Tyranny's fans' hearts were about to jump out of their chests.
Then, they saw Desert Dust roll to the side!
It's over!
Tyranny's fans screamed in their hearts.
At this crucial moment, why did the captain make such a mistake? Sword Draw was a horizontal slash. What was the point of rolling to the side? Was he going to hide himself under the lava? That's also useless! Ye Xiu was so despicable. This Sword Draw had a diagonal angle to it, sealing off most of the horizontal and vertical paths. Look, even the lava was split open.
Huh!
The gloomy mood suddenly rose from the dead. A protruding piece of lava was revealed from the lava that was split open by the Sword Draw!
Shing!
The sword light landed on this piece of lava. As for Desert Dust? After a roll, he flashed to the back of this piece of lava. Han Wenqing had already predicted that Ye Xiu would take the initiative to attack while Ferocious Tiger Flurry was being blown away. He had already calculated his escape route. If he hid behind this piece of lava, any direct attacks would be useless.
Victory!!
Tyranny's fans were already cheering. The two characters' health was nearing the end. Lord Grim's health was lower, so he would reach zero first. Even though winning by a hair's breadth in the group arena didn't mean much, a win was a win. Moreover, the winner was Ye Xiu. Ye Xiu, who hadn't lost a single 1v1 until now, felt great!
But at this moment, Desert Dust's health suddenly jumped under the lava's constant damage.
Glory!
The words announcing the victory flashed. The one standing in the end was … Lord Grim?
Hua!!
The crowd exploded.
How was this possible? How was this possible?
What was with that last jump? Could it be that the lava's damage was a critical hit? And it had to happen at such a coincidental time? This was too much of a joke!!
The heroic Tyranny's fans instantly stood up, as if they were about to rush onto the stage. What the hell was this? There had to be an explanation!!!
What was going on? What was going on?
It wasn't just Tyranny's fans who didn't understand that jump. The TV broadcast, the referees, the pro players, too many people were at a loss.
At a time like this, there had to be a reason for the scene to be replayed. The crowd hadn't found the reason yet, but the big screen had already replayed the scene. Even the holographic projection on the stage immediately cut off the usual pose time for the winner. At this time, there was no need to draw aggro. The holographic projection also replayed the scene.
The crowd immediately fell silent. Everyone stared at the replay of that moment.
Once, twice, thrice. That moment was very short. They could only repeat it over and over again. Where was the crux of the problem?
Some people were watching Lord Grim's movements. Some were watching Desert Dust. Some were watching the lava's movements. At this time, the system's backend statistics were finally pulled up. The system wouldn't lie. It would faithfully record every step of the match. And these words gave everyone the answer before the screen.
Lord Grim's final damage, the final blow of Ferocious Tiger Flurry, the lava damage.
Desert Dust's final damage, the lava damage, and … Waltzing Wave Slash?
Spellblade skill, Waltzing Wave Slash.
The scene continued to be silent. After the system's statistics, the repeated images were finally presented in a targeted manner.
Under the lava, the Waltzing Wave Slash silently moved. The fierce battle between the two had completely covered up the traces of its movement.
The Waltzing Wave Slash had been released before the Sword Draw.
Just like how Desert Dust had hidden his foot under the lava during Ferocious Tiger Flurry, the Waltzing Wave Slash had also been released silently under the lava. By the time the sword had flipped, it was already the Sword Draw that had flashed with a cold light.
In the end, the Sword Draw was blocked by the lava rock. As for the Waltzing Wave Slash, it didn't move in a straight line, but rather in an arc. It circled around the lava rock and finally hit Desert Dust.
It wasn't some trick of the lava damage. It really did come from the player's control, from the character's attack.
The crowd fell silent …
After a long period of silence, they finally exploded.
"Ye Xiu, you're despicable!!!"
"Ye Xiu, go die!!"
"Kill him!!!"
