Dark Thunder was still in the middle of a Back Throw. His bent body, along with Dancing Rain, fell into the lava. A fiery red light rippled through the lava.
Lin Jingyan's heart sank along with Dark Thunder.
Coincidence? Luck?
Of course, that was impossible. The lime powder in this area was able to cover up the colour of the magma. Clearly, the density was different from other areas. This was a smokescreen that Su Mucheng had intentionally focused on attacking.
A trap.
Everything was a trap.
The bait and cover from the successive cannon shots. That seemingly subconscious pause, followed by a hurried barrage of attacks. All of this was to lure Lin Jingyan into this trap.
Magma, magma again.
He knew that high damage wasn't something that could be touched, but he had actually fallen into the lava twice in the group arena. Lin Jingyan felt like he had lost all face.
However, Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain had fallen into the lava at the same time as his Dark Thunder. Moreover, she was still under the control of his Back Throw. As a result, he could continue attacking in the lava.
Go for it!
Lin Jingyan made up his mind. Instead of thinking about how to escape, he might as well go all out in the lava. Just like in the battle between Ye Xiu and Han Wenqing, he would directly attack in the lava. This was his only chance to deal a lot of damage.
Touch the bottom. Twist.
Dark Thunder's movements were still smooth in the lava. In the instant that his Back Throw landed on Dancing Rain, he had already twisted his body.
Tyrannical Chain Punch!
Dark Thunder pounced forward with a high-level skill.
Su Mucheng really couldn't do anything about it. His response was so smooth. Her original plan had been for Dark Thunder to fall into the lava himself, while Dancing Rain stayed on the cliff and bombarded him. Unfortunately, she hadn't been able to reap all the benefits. After all, Lin Jingyan wasn't so easy to deal with. Even though he might not have known about Su Mucheng's plan, his Back Throw had coincidentally dragged Dancing Rain into the lava as well.
Su Mucheng was not completely unprepared for such a situation. However, Lin Jingyan had already given up on everything. After the Suplex, he immediately followed up with the Tyrannical Chain Punch, which could sweep the ground. Unfortunately, this place was also a narrow corner of the magma. He couldn't move left or right, so he had no choice but to use another move.
Heavy punches fell one after another, and the magma was once again stirred up.
Dark Thunder's health was dropping, but Dancing Rain, who was still tanking attacks while being burned by the lava, was losing health even faster.
Maybe he could win?
Some of the players saw Dancing Rain's health drop and their eyes lit up. However, the experts wouldn't make such a judgment. Tyrannical Chain Punch was the reason why Tyrannical Chain Punch was so efficient. Aside from this, Brawlers didn't have any other skills that could deal such high damage. At this moment, Dancing Rain's health drop was only temporary. It would stop after the Tyrannical Chain Punch ended.
It was impossible for them to win if they fought like this. But if he played well, he could deal a lot of damage to Dancing Rain. Lin Jingyan's decisiveness at this moment was quite admirable.
Boom!
Tyrannical Chain Punch's final attack created a small crater in the magma. Dancing Rain was finally able to escape from Dark Thunder's punches, but she was sent tumbling by the force of the attack. Dark Thunder jumped back to finish the skill. In this short moment, both characters were in a Stun state. It could be considered as the Tyrannical Chain Punch's ending protection.
Let's see what happens next!
The spectators understood. In theory, a high-level skill like Tyrannical Chain Punch couldn't be used again after finishing the skill. As a result, the players could only continue to attack based on the situation and their own methods to form a false combo.
Lin Jingyan needed to be in the lead in order to deal as much damage as he wanted. Whether or not this false combo could succeed would be the deciding factor in this match.
Paralysis Needle!
Dark Thunder, who had just recovered from the stun, immediately flicked his wrist and threw out a needle.
Paralysis Needle was a crowd-control skill that could paralyze the target. It flew out from the roiling magma, so small that it was impossible to see it. He rushed out from behind the needle, but half of his body was in the magma, so the resistance he faced wasn't small. However, Dark Thunder had already used another high-level skill.
Street Storm!
This was an attack skill, but at the same time, it could also be considered a status skill. During the duration of Street Storm, a Brawler's mid-level and low-level skills would be strengthened. They could be used in one go and didn't count towards the cooldowns of normal skills.
Powerful Knee Strike!
Dark Thunder used this skill again. The magma split open, and Dark Thunder charged towards Dancing Rain. At the same time, his two hands weren't idle. A brick in his left hand and sand in his right. In an instant, who knew how many skills flew towards Dancing Rain and Dark Thunder at the same time.
Hit!
Paralysis Needle hit, Brick hit, Sand Toss hit!
Dark Thunder had already arrived, but he saw a bright light rise up from the lava. It was Dancing Rain, who had quickly raised her cannon. After raising it, she aimed it at Dark Thunder.
Quantum Cannon! Fire!
The light shot towards Dark Thunder. At this distance, with this momentum, Lin Jingyan had no way of dodging.
The light enveloped him and sent him flying. But the powerful recoil didn't make Dancing Rain waver in the slightest. Instead, the magma around her seemed to split open. Everyone could see that Dancing Rain was standing firmly on a support frame.
Paralysis Needle hit, Brick hit, Sand Toss hit. Why wasn't this charged up Quantum Cannon interrupted?
The Quantum Cannon had a powerful recoil, but Dancing Rain still hadn't moved an inch from her position after the cannon had flown out?
Everyone could see the reason.
Launcher Level 75 skill: Stabilized Cannon.
After using the skill, the Launcher's position would be restricted. She couldn't move or jump. In exchange, the Launcher's attack power would greatly increase, and she wouldn't be interrupted.
Su Mucheng had actually used a Stabilized Cannon to hide under the magma. Lin Jingyan was completely convinced by her skill. Dark Thunder, who had been sent flying, was watching this scene. He saw the Stabilized Cannon begin to charge up again.
Boom!
The artillery shell flew out again, chasing after Dark Thunder.
DPS, combined with the magma damage? In the blink of an eye, what Lin Jingyan had done to Dancing Rain had been returned to him by Su Mucheng. Dark Thunder's health left him with no chance to counterattack.
Glory!
Dark Thunder's health plummeted to the bottom of the magma wave. In the third round of the group arena, Happy Su Mucheng won after Dancing Rain had lost 29% of her health. The scene where the Quantum Cannon blew open the lava and revealed the stable cannon hidden underneath became the best shot of the match. The broadcast replayed this scene over and over again. As for the phenomenon, because this was Tyranny's home game, no matter how classic it was, it wouldn't be used repeatedly to show this kind of scene.
Lin Jingyan walked out of the competitor booth. In this important match, his performance was, without a doubt, unsatisfactory. Lord Grim's 7%, or perhaps 1%, and Dancing Rain's 29%. This was what he had achieved in today's group arena. This was a difference that was enough to cause him to lose the group arena.
Was this the only way?
He had tried his best, even going as far as to take advantage of the rules, but in the end, he had still lost miserably. Lin Jingyan was disappointed. Disappointed in the result. Disappointed in himself.
But now, there was applause, which made Lin Jingyan a little surprised.
Tyranny's fans weren't the type to abandon losers. They didn't judge a hero based on victory or defeat. It didn't matter if he lost. As long as everyone was satisfied with his performance, then Tyranny's fans would think highly of him.
But today's match?
Lin Jingyan knew that his performance hadn't been any better, especially when there were things that Tyranny's fans disliked. Even so, he could still receive applause from the audience?
The applause couldn't be said to be very enthusiastic. Tyranny's fans were a bit hesitant. Lin Jingyan's performance in this match wasn't to their liking, and the result wasn't to their liking either. But they still applauded because they recognized Lin Jingyan's efforts. Especially when he had risked his life to fight with Dancing Rain in the lava, many people saw that Lin Jingyan cared about Team Tyranny. He had thrown away his personal honor and victory to fight for the team's chance at victory. This kind of attitude was worthy of applause.
Even if he had used some methods that they didn't like, there was no need to care about these details!
One by one, the knots in the hearts of Tyranny's fans were undone. The applause spread bit by bit, growing louder and louder. When the applause reached the entire stadium, Lin Jingyan was dumbstruck as he walked back to his seat.
"Good luck, Tyranny!" Loud cheers could be heard amidst the applause.
Lin Jingyan wasn't someone who would get excited easily, but at this moment, he couldn't hold it in anymore. These two matches had been really stifling for him. At this moment, no one was more eager for victory than him. They were eager for Tyranny's victory.
"Good luck, Tyranny!" Lin Jingyan suddenly roared towards the audience. This was a display of passion that he had never shown in his entire professional career. Over at Happy's player area, his old partner Fang Rui had never seen him so excited before, and revealed a surprised expression.
"Good luck, good luck!!" Seeing the response, Tyranny's fans became even more enthusiastic. Lin Jingyan waved and shouted as he walked, gradually becoming the leader of the crowd.
Team Tyranny's next player had already stood up from his seat.
Zhang Jiale, Tyranny's third veteran.
"Good luck!" As he walked towards the stage, he bumped into Lin Jingyan and gave him a high five. What they were conveying was their desire for victory.
