Bang! Bang!
One shot, one explosion.
A Stinger exploded in the air like a firework, falling down like raindrops. The canyon was instantly filled with explosions. That wasn't the end of it. All kinds of cannonballs fell from the sky one after another. They looked like lumps of shadows, growing bigger and bigger. With a boom, they exploded.
Dancing Rain looked down from above, and in an instant, the canyon was filled with smoke. Team Tyranny had five players, but with such a height difference, a 5v1 was still a 1v1. Only Zhang Jiale's Dazzling Hundred Blossoms could exchange a few shots with Dancing Rain. Moreover, he couldn't use his full strength. This was because Spitfires had different ranges. Bullets had a longer range, while grenades had a shorter range. At this height, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' bullets could hit, but grenades couldn't. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this Spitfire had one-third of his full strength.
However, Team Tyranny didn't panic at all.
They could see the height difference between the two ends of the canyon. Team Happy had Su Mucheng's Launcher class, so they wouldn't overlook her. If Happy had some sort of ambush, this was the easiest to predict, and Tyranny was the most prepared. They didn't need to communicate at all, and had already begun to calmly deal with it. First, the characters all headed towards the cliff wall where Dancing Rain was. The cliff wall wasn't smooth. When they formed a perpendicular line with Dancing Rain, it immediately became a huge obstacle for her attack angle. Then, Zhang Jiale's Dazzling Hundred Blossoms didn't forcefully exchange fire with Dancing Rain despite being at a disadvantage. Even though he knew that the height was impossible, he still insisted on throwing a grenade. Then, the grenade exploded in the air.
Hundreds of lights and shadows suddenly appeared in the air, forming a line that would make one gasp in amazement ….
"Good skill!" Even Ye Xiu praised in the chat.
If Ye Xiu was really a Spitfire, he would be able to play the Hundred Blossoms style fairly well. But with Zhang Jiale's current move, he felt that he couldn't replicate it. After all, there were specializations in every field. Zhang Jiale had been immersed in this style for so many years, so it was impossible for him to be so easily copied by others.
Standing at the bottom of the uneven cliff, coupled with the cover of the hundreds of flowers hanging in the air, Su Mucheng's threat was instantly minimized by Tyranny. The five of them stuck close to the mountain wall and advanced quickly. They were charging towards Ye Xiu's Lord Grim.
Ye Xiu didn't rush up to fight. Lord Grim moved to the side, sticking to the mountain wall on the other side. Holding his Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, he fired long range shots.
When the audience saw this, they felt that this was really too bad. This was practically bullying Tyranny's current lineup.
In Tyranny's current five-man team, Han Wenqing and Song Qiying were the two long-range attackers. Lin Jingyan's Brawler had some mid-range attacks, but he couldn't be considered a mid-range attacker. Most of his skills had to be used at close range. If the three of them really wanted to attack Lord Grim, they would have to move towards this side, which would expose them to Dancing Rain's cannon.
Apart from these three and Zhang Xinjie's Cleric, there was also Zhang Jiale's Dazzling Hundred Blossoms. This Spitfire was a genuine long-range attacker, but right now, he was using his Hundred Blossoms like an umbrella to disrupt Dancing Rain's attacks from above. How could he have the time to attack Lord Grim?
Tyranny's team lineup usually consisted of Qin Muyun or Bai Yanfei. They didn't lack a second long-range attacker. Today, however, he had started with Song Qiying's River Sunset. Now, Ye Xiu was making a big deal out of it.
From the audience's perspective, with Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng pinning him down, one up, one left, one right, Tyranny had no way of doing anything. He was probably going to be unlucky. But the result? Tyranny acted as if nothing had happened. Where did Lord Grim run to? Fine, then let's ignore him. Let's continue forward.
Ignore Lord Grim? The audience had completely forgotten that there was such a choice. Then what would happen if there was such a choice?
Lord Grim began his long-range attacks without any restraint. First, he fired a Gatling Gun. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's muzzle trembled violently as he fired at Tyranny's side. Dust flew into the air, and Tyranny's faces were covered in dirt. But so what? A bit of dirt didn't do much damage, and a bullet or two didn't matter. Tyranny's advance wasn't hindered at all.
Grenade!
Anti-Tank Missile!
Ye Xiu had Lord Grim deal heavy damage. These explosive attacks had AoE effects, so dodging them wasn't easy. However, Tyranny's side wasn't like the normal players Ye Xiu had faced in the tenth server or the Heavenly Domain. He couldn't rely on skill to suppress them. They were very familiar with these low-level skills, so they continued to dodge them.
The distance was still a bit far.
Ye Xiu seemed to have sensed this. In order to give Tyranny more trouble, Lord Grim moved a bit, no longer sticking close to the mountain wall.
Floating Bullet, Stun Bullet!
This time, Lord Grim's attacks had some effect. Bang bang bang, two bullets flew out.
Hit!
Both shots hit.
But his character wasn't knocked into the air or stunned. Desert Dust activated Reinforced Iron Bones and used his body to block the bullets.
Then, Lord Grim used some magic attacks. As long as it didn't have any special effects, Tyranny's team completely ignored it. They really didn't care too much about the damage of the unspecialized's low-level skills.
But dripping water could pierce through stone. No matter how low the damage was, they couldn't continue to ignore it. This path wasn't short!
This was a direction that Tyranny hadn't been to yet, but from their omniscient view, the viewers knew that Ye Xiu and Tang Rou had lured Tyranny into what was probably the longest canyon on this map. Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng could keep this up for a long time, but if they continued like this, it would definitely take a lot of energy. What's more, Happy still had two attackers who hadn't entered the battle yet!
Team Tyranny was patient, but the viewers couldn't sit still, especially Tyranny's fans. They felt like Tyranny's players didn't know the map's situation, so they wanted to hold on and wait for an opportunity to turn the tables. But if they really held on until then, they would have to sacrifice a lot. They couldn't keep doing this!
Just as he was thinking this, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, who had been using the Hundred Blossoms to prop up the sky, suddenly turned his gun. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang! He rapidly fired a chain of shots at Lord Grim. Desert Dust, River Sunset, Dark Thunder, the three Fighter class characters shot like arrows towards Lord Grim.
What's going on?
What's going on?
Even though they were worried about Tyranny continuing like this, when Tyranny suddenly changed the pace of the battle, Tyranny's fans were still terrified. Was this sudden outburst due to some sort of turning point? Where was the opportunity? Dancing Rain was clearly still there!
"Hahaha, I'm a hundred times more familiar with her than you guys!"
Then, they saw Ye Xiu leave a message in the chat. It seemed like at the same time, when Tyranny suddenly burst out, Lord Grim had already begun retreating, dodging Dazzling Hundred Blossoms' attacks. He flipped over, pulled out his ninjato from his umbrella, and threw it at the cliff …
In just a few swings, Lord Grim's height was enough to make Han Wenqing and Song Qiying, the two Strikers with the shortest attack range, grit their teeth. Lin Jingyan and Zhang Jiale, especially Zhang Jiale, still had a lot of tricks up their sleeves, but at this moment, the sound of cannons continued to ring out. The firepower seemed to have weakened, but the attacks were still focused on Dazzling Hundred Blossoms. Under this sort of interference, Zhang Jiale's interference with Ye Xiu was greatly reduced. It wasn't difficult for Ye Xiu to deal with the ranged attacks of the Brawlers. Lord Grim jumped up and down, opening up his umbrella, and using Rotor Wing, he flew to the top of the cliff.
"Friends at the bottom of the mountain, how are you doing?" Ye Xiu was still provoking.
Zhang Jiale was furious. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms fired bullets at Lord Grim, but Lord Grim just ducked his head and dodged them all. At this moment, Dancing Rain's firepower seemed to have gone from weak to strong. Team Tyranny hastily retreated and stood at the bottom of the cliff.
The audience finally reacted.
Team Tyranny hadn't just run away because they couldn't bear it anymore, but because they had been waiting for an opportunity. The opportunity came from Dancing Rain's skill cooldowns!
After a wave of attacks, a portion of her skills would definitely be on cooldown. Having a beautiful cycle of skills was necessary to ensure damage output. This was something that PVE players in online games would definitely understand when fighting bosses. However, PvP was different because PvP was ever-changing. PvE's fixed damage combo might not be able to be used in one go, especially in a team competition with so many people.
However, today, Dancing Rain had the high ground and was practically unaffected. If Su Mucheng really wanted to use a non-stop damage combo like she did in PvE against bosses, let alone one combo, three or even five combo wouldn't be a problem.
However, Tyranny's player wasn't as easy to deal with as a boss in the game. Even though they were the ones being attacked, the ones being attacked could use their own defense to restrict the opponent's attacks. Tyranny's group of five looked like they were sticking close to the wall and using Blossom Light to move, but in reality, their overall movement was to attract and restrict Dancing Rain's firepower. If Su Mucheng wanted to threaten them with her firepower, she had to follow their rhythm.
As a result, her skills wouldn't be able to maintain a perfect skill cycle. Because of the cooldowns, her firepower would decrease sooner or later.
Team Tyranny clearly grasped this point and chose this moment to make a move. However, to their surprise, Ye Xiu saw it even more clearly than them.
With Lord Grim retreating, Dancing Rain's remaining firepower wasn't enough to suppress Tyranny's group of five, but if they were concentrated in one corner, it was enough to interfere. As a result, Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, the only long-ranged attacker in Tyranny's group, successfully protected Lord Grim as he retreated from the wall.
Although it seemed like an ordinary move, there was a hidden meaning behind it. The more skilled viewers could see that Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain's skills were on cooldown, but they couldn't see that this was the result of Tyranny's rhythm. This wasn't an opportunity they had been waiting for, but a deliberate move.
The move wasn't bad, but it was still dismantled by Ye Xiu.
"It's finally my turn!" Fang Rui's message popped up in the public chat. Happy, the next move was here.
= = =
The nearby stores would close at 10 am the next day. The students who were still hesitating sped up their thinking.
