Boom boom boom...
Lord Grim and Han Yanrou whizzed past Laughing Song. While moving at high speed, they were still attacking Laughing Song as much as they could. Qiao Yifan couldn't help but sigh in admiration at the two's skill and coordination. At the same time, he also noticed that Lord Grim's attacks were helping Laughing Song's positioning, making it so that he couldn't see One Inch Ash.
"This should be considered a technique from Concealing Cloth, right?" Qiao Yifan thought to himself. Even in such a tense moment, he didn't forget to observe. No matter if it was friend or foe, he was doing his best to find something to improve himself. And Lord Grim's attack on Laughing Song seemed to be a technique from Concealing Cloth to Qiao Yifan. However, Concealing Step usually controlled the character to move into the opponent's blind spot. But right now, Ye Xiu was using Lord Grim's attacks to adjust Laughing Song's posture, placing One Inch Ash in his blind spot.
"That's the theory, but it's probably even more difficult than Concealing Cloth," Qiao Yifan thought. Using attacks to control someone else's character was definitely much more difficult than controlling one's own character.
Next, it's my turn!
Qiao Yifan didn't forget to learn in the competition, but he didn't forget his mission and class. Seeing Lord Grim and Han Yanrou attack Laughing Song, his One Inch Ash seemed to have received some sort of command and immediately began to cast.
The power of the Ghost God flowed along the blade like water, suddenly dripping down, seeping into the ground and spreading outwards.
Outside the wall, Samsara's fastest pursuer was still Wu Qi's Cruel Silence. Even though Samsara's players had already noticed that Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash had suddenly disappeared, they couldn't stop saving Laughing Song. For now, they could only chase while paying close attention to their surroundings.
Nineteen steps left!
Wu Qi had been counting in his heart the entire time! The distance between Cruel Silence and the opponent wasn't stable. Sometimes, they would get closer, and sometimes, they would get further. After all, both sides were not racing blindly. Ye Xiu and Tang Rou had to work together, and Wu Qi also had to avoid Su Mucheng's interference.
Indeed, not keeping an eye on Su Mucheng had a great impact. Samsara deeply felt it now. If it weren't for Dancing Rain's interference, they might have been able to catch up to Lord Grim and Han Yanrou.
However, the situation could not be said to be bad.
Wu Qi was confident. This kind of relentless pursuit caused Lord Grim and Han Yanrou's attacks on Laughing Song to be very limited. It was obvious that they could still hold on for a long time.
For such a long time, it was a question whether Happy and the other two could keep on not making any mistakes.
Zhou Zekai's long-range support had failed, but that didn't mean it was over. In the worst case scenario, if An Wenyi's Little Cold Hands couldn't fire a single shot, then he could focus his attacks on Little Cold Hands and then provide support. There was still plenty of time.
With Su Mucheng's interference, Samsara was already preparing to restrict her. Because of his lack of mobility, Jiang Botao's Empty Waves was getting further and further away. There wasn't much point in continuing the chase, so he might as well just change directions and go straight for Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain.
They hadn't noticed Su Mucheng's Stun Bullet on Cloud Piercer, but Zhou Zekai had already told them. This made them feel like a BOX-1 on Su Mucheng was very necessary. They shouldn't have let their guard down.
However, Samsara hadn't expected Happy to make such a bold move. In addition, they were still quite wary of Ye Xiu's methods, which was why they had decided to charge towards him. If they had known that it would turn out like this, and that Happy was so well-trained and experienced, they would have split up the work much earlier. For example, Jiang Botao's Empty Waves, a Spellblade, obviously wouldn't be racing.
Right now, they had already made the necessary adjustments. Their reactions couldn't be considered slow, so they weren't panicking. But what about Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash?
This guy's sudden disappearance had become a sore point for Samsara. A Phantom Demon's control was too strong. If they were caught off guard by this guy, it would be too painful.
But even though they had misgivings, Samsara had no way of slowing down. The only thing they could do was continue to chase and continue to chase.
With One Inch Ash's whereabouts unknown, worrying too much would only distract them. On this point, Samsara's attitude was quite resolute.
Wu Qi's Cruel Silence carried on the glorious tradition of Assassins. Like an arrow, his figure blurred as he rushed into Qiao Yifan's line of sight.
Then, his speed slowed down.
What's going on?
Wu Qi was startled, but he immediately realized what was going on. The ground beneath Cruel Silence's feet turned dark as if it had been dripped with ink. His every movement, every small movement, suddenly became very heavy.
Ash Boundary increased the weight on the character, thus affecting the character's speed. At this moment, Cruel Silence had already spread out.
The distance between Lord Grim and Han Yanrou suddenly increased. Cruel Silence could only struggle through the Ash Boundary. He slowly turned his head and saw One Inch Ash hiding behind a broken wall.
Wu Qi sent out a message, informing the team of One Inch Ash's location.
But right now, his Cruel Silence would take some time to get out of Ash Boundary. Jiang Botao's Empty Waves was charging towards Dancing Rain. Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer had recovered from the Stun, but from his position, he couldn't see One Inch Ash behind the wall, so it would be difficult for him to attack from a distance.
Only Sun Xiang and his One Leaf Of Autumn were left.
One Leaf Of Autumn was actually surrounded by the Ash Boundary. However, his position was towards the back. Right now, Cruel Silence was in the middle of the Ash Boundary, which meant that he was much closer to the boundary of the Ash Boundary.
But right now, they were chasing after Lord Grim and Han Yanrou. They were rushing forward, but if he wanted to escape from the Ash Boundary, he needed to retreat …
One Leaf Of Autumn retreated. He had no other choice.
Cruel Silence moved forward with difficulty, while waiting for a skill to come off cooldown.
Shining Cut!
Cruel Silence could use this skill's high movement speed to escape the Ash Formation faster.
However, he saw the power of the Ghost God gathering on One Inch Ash's tachi, Snow Stripe.
This is …
A deathly stillness descended upon them.
Cruel Silence's Shining Cut, which was just about to come off cooldown, instantly turned gray.
Formation of Silence, a powerful Phantom Demon skill that sealed all skills, was used by Qiao Yifan without any hesitation.
Without speed, without skills, Cruel Silence could only walk slowly.
One Leaf Of Autumn might have escaped from the Ash Boundary, but if he wanted to move forward, he would have to go around these Ghost Boundaries.
Lord Grim and Han Yanrou were already farther and farther away, but he still had to go around these Ghost Boundaries and be careful of One Inch Ash behind the wall. Sun Xiang was furious.
But right now, he was faced with an even more difficult choice.
Should he continue chasing after Lord Grim and Han Yanrou, or should he attack One Inch Ash first?
He wasn't the only one in a dilemma. The pro players watching the match began to discuss this question intensely as well.
Chase, the distance seemed to be very far. Who knew if he would be able to gain anything if he continued chasing. Lord Grim and Han Yanrou were both out of Cloud Piercer's attack range. If Zhou Zekai still wanted to support them, he would have to give up on Little Cold Hands. That would be a bit of a waste. Little Cold Hands didn't have much health left. If he gave up now, and Laughing Song wasn't able to save him, then he would be losing both the wife and the soldiers. Seeing Cloud Piercer's current actions, Zhou Zekai clearly wanted to get rid of Little Cold Hands once and for all. Without his long-ranged support, chasing after him at such a distance wouldn't do anything.
But if he didn't chase … then the other side wouldn't continue to roam around like this. If they stopped and attacked fiercely, it would be a 2v1. Samsara would definitely be at a disadvantage if the healer died. This was already decided.
No matter what choice he made, Samsara would be at a disadvantage …
"But what if he could kill One Inch Ash here?" Someone suddenly said.
If both sides healed, then Samsara could take down One Inch Ash. That would be a 1v2 trade. This trade was undoubtedly worth it.
"That might be a bit difficult, no?" Li Xuan said. He always had the right to speak when it came to Qiao Yifan and One Inch Ash. As an expert Phantom Demon, he knew what to do in this situation.
"I knew it." Seeing Qiao Yifan's response, Li Xuan nodded his head.
One Inch Ash walked out.
Since his position had been exposed, there was no point in hiding behind the wall. At this time, if he walked out from behind the wall, not only would Wu Qi be able to see him, but if Sun Xiang wanted to attack him now, he would also know where he was.
However, One Inch Ash was standing in his Ghost Boundary.
The significance of a Ghost Boundary was not only to control and restrict the opponent. Even though Sword Souls could strengthen one's Strength and Intellect, those Ghost Boundaries that attacked and controlled the opponent were also a powerful form of protection for one's own side, weren't they?
Many close-combat players hated Phantom Demons. Some even thought that Phantom Demons were a BUG.
This was because when a Phantom Demon set up a Ghost Boundary and stepped on its own Ghost Boundary, the other classes that needed to fight in close range couldn't do anything.
How could they fight?
Should they enter the invisible Dark Boundary to attack the opponent? Should they enter the Ash Boundary that increased the burden? Or should they choose the Silence Boundary that didn't have any skills?
None of them!
As a result, Sun Xiang could only watch hatefully. It wasn't that melee classes didn't have any methods to deal with Phantom Demons, but they clearly needed to be patient. And right now, what Samsara lacked the most was time. While Ye Xiu and Tang Rou were slowly dealing with Qiao Yifan, Ye Xiu and Tang Rou quickly returned after dealing with Laughing Song.
"If Jiang Botao was still here …" Wang Jiexi said.
Jiang Botao was still here. Empty Waves was still here. Spellblades didn't have a long attack range, but they didn't need to get close to the opponent. They didn't need to be patient like melee classes. Moreover, with one more player, Samsara would have a much easier time killing One Inch Ash. They could give up on Laughing Song and kill One Inch Ash first, creating a 1v2 trade.
Unfortunately, Jiang Botao wasn't here.
