"Jiang Botao's Empty Waves suddenly exploded, launching a flurry of attacks at Dancing Rain! Du Ming seized this opportunity. Cruel Silence is quickly closing in on Dancing Rain … Ah … Ye Xiu's Lord Grim is moving towards us, but we probably won't be able to stop him. Baozi has sneaked in … uh, it counts as a sneak attack, right? But we dodged it! "
Pan Lin passionately explained the intricate battle that was about to intertwine. On the other side of the battlefield, it wasn't that the broadcast didn't notice it, but that compared to this side, the battle between the two wasn't as exciting.
Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn switched targets to support Zhou Zekai, but before that, he and Wu Qi had already decided on the other side's direction. Just like how the two had surrounded Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain at the start of the battle, this time, the two used the same method to deal with Qiao Yifan's One Inch Ash.
However, because Zhou Zekai's situation was a bit urgent, the two weren't able to completely carry out their plan. Sun Xiang had One Leaf Of Autumn switch targets ahead of time, leaving Qiao Yifan to Wu Qi alone. Wu Qi's Cruel Silence hadn't completely closed in on One Inch Ash, but he was at least close to him.
One Inch Ash's abilities as a Phantom Demon were basically unable to be used. Cruel Silence was too close. One Inch Ash had no way of stopping to cast a Ghost Boundary. Qiao Yifan could only let him run, keep running. He wanted to pull away. Dark Boundary, Ice Boundary … these Ghost Boundaries were all off cooldown, but he didn't have the space to cast them.
However, Qiao Yifan didn't panic. He carefully observed everything in front of him. He knew that he wouldn't be able to escape from Cruel Silence in a race. He had to take advantage of the terrain.
Fortunately, Phantom Demons had a bit of close-range combat ability. Qiao Yifan had One Inch Ash fight as he moved, carefully observing his surroundings and memorizing everything he saw. Gradually, a plan formed in his mind.
That's it!
Although Qiao Yifan did not have absolute confidence in his idea, he could only give it a try. In the end, close combat wasn't a Phantom Demon's strong suit. As he fought and ran, he had already taken quite a bit of damage from Wu Qi's Cruel Silence.
Moonlight Slash!
One Inch Ash suddenly attacked. It seemed abrupt, but as a Phantom Demon, he only had a few slash skills. Fortunately, they were all low-level and had short cooldowns. Otherwise, he would have run out of skills already. Who knew how many times One Inch Ash had used Moonlight Slash, so no matter how sudden it was, Wu Qi didn't find it fresh at all. He didn't even need to think before he quickly responded.
Horizontal body, dislocation!
Cruel Silence's steps were rather large because Moonlight Slash would follow up with Full Moonlight Slash. This was a very basic combo. As for Full Moonlight Slash, according to the player's control, it would usually follow the direction the opponent was dodging in. Thus, when dodging Full Moonlight Slash, one had to consider the following Full Moonlight Slash as well. If he tried to use techniques like the Cross Sidestep, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
No. Wu Qi had seen through Qiao Yifan's technique, but he didn't have a way to counter it. This was the value of a basic combo. To be called a basic combo, it was a combo that had gone through countless trials and tribulations. These techniques had gone through enough testing. No matter how much damage they dealt, they were invincible. Against this type of technique, there was no way to play any tricks. The way to deal with it was the most effective method that had gone through so much testing. For an Assassin, this was the huge step that Cruel Silence had taken.
But this time, after the Moonlight Slash, the sword light immediately dissipated.
There was no Full Moonlight Slash!
But this still wasn't a surprise.
This was a basic combo. Naturally, he had already seen through all of its variations. Moonlight Slash and Full Moonlight Slash were often used as combos, but that didn't mean they had to be combos. But because it was "often", Moonlight Slash had to be dodged as if it were two skills. There was no room for discussion. Even if the opponent didn't plan on using this combo, if you really just treated it as a Moonlight Slash, then the opponent could easily adjust and follow it up with a Full Moonlight Slash.
So, there was nothing to be done.
Even if he knew that this could happen, he could only wait for it to happen before countering.
Qiao Yifan had previously had One Inch Ash use Moonlight Slash three times, and he had followed up with a Full Moonlight Slash afterwards. Very fast, very steady. Wu Qi didn't dare be careless with his solid fundamentals. His performance was also very steady. So this time, the fourth time, Cruel Silence took a huge step forward, still dodging Moonlight Slash as if it were two skills. But this time, there was only Moonlight, not Full Moonlight.
What kind of change would this bring?
That was hard to say. There were many choices to be made after this, but there was one point worth noting. Why was Moonlight Slash followed by Full Moonlight Slash so frequently used? It was because these two skills were used in tandem, without any openings, and were the safest. But when Moonlight Slash was used alone, it seemed a bit weak. Without a Full Moonlight Slash, if the opponent reacted quickly and attacked quickly, it would be very difficult for a Blade Master.
Wu Qi reacted quickly. As soon as he saw the sword stop, he knew that Qiao Yifan was about to change. Even though he had experienced this combo three times before, Wu Qi's thinking hadn't been fixed.
Shining Cut!
As if he had been prepared, Cruel Silence rushed forward.
With such a fast reaction, there was no need to worry about whether or not Qiao Yifan had purposely let One Inch Ash use the time difference. With such a fast reaction, even if Qiao Yifan had purposely let the time difference between his combo slashes pass, the time difference would have become an opening.
Ding!
The sound of collision rang out.
One Inch Ash used his tachi, Snow Stripe, to block Cruel Silence's Shining Cut.
Block!
Qiao Yifan had One Inch Ash use a Guard, blocking the incomparably fast Shining Cut. Clearly, he had been prepared for this move beforehand.
Not good!
Wu Qi suddenly had such a thought in his mind. He had been prepared for the basic combo of Moonlight Slash and Full Moonlight Slash. He had reacted quickly to the change of Moonlight Slash and not Full Moonlight Slash. However, Qiao Yifan was already prepared for his quick reaction to attack. It was too obvious. Qiao Yifan's thoughts had reached this step. He was certain that Wu Qiqi would launch an attack during this change.
Block.
Weapons collided. There was only one sound. In this instant, the two characters were extremely close and extremely fast. Wu Qi saw the two characters cross weapons on the screen, and saw One Inch Ash's somewhat gloomy face.
But soon, that face pulled away from him. After blocking his attack, Cruel Silence came to a stop. One Inch Ash took advantage of this block to slide backwards.
This was a system decision. Wu Qi had no way of interfering. But this instant was very short, so he quickly began to make up for it.
Shadow Pursuit!
Increase speed and force Shadow Pursuit.
After Cruel Silence recovered, he immediately used this skill to slide forward. Behind him, there were afterimages, but in front of him, two sword lights crossed as if frozen, waiting for Cruel Silence to crash into them.
Cross Slash!
Shadow Pursuit couldn't pass through the attack. Changing directions to go around was possible, but the Cross Slash was too close and too fast. It was too late to change directions.
He could only cancel the skill!
Cruel Silence finally came to a sudden stop, stopping himself in front of the Cross Slash. Changing directions again, starting again, chasing again. Who knew how much slower he was. But Qiao Yifan still felt that this wasn't enough. When One Inch Ash seized the opportunity to escape, he even swept an Earthquake Slash at him.
The television hadn't shown this scene yet. But there were holographic projections in the stadium. There were countless large screens in the air that showed this scene from many angles. If the audience wanted to see it, there was no delay. Samsara's fans weren't Wu Qi's fans. Seeing Qiao Yifan use so many skills to stop Cruel Silence in place, even they felt sullen.
In this short amount of time, One Inch Ash had already slipped behind a building that was high on one side and low on the other. Half of it was already sunk into the ground.
This time, Wu Qi didn't dare let Cruel Silence catch up. One Inch Ash had left his line of sight, so his following actions were all about position. Distance was no longer the only criterion used to weigh the pros and cons of a battle.
Jump up?
Go around?
In front of Wu Qi, there were two choices.
