Luck!
Anyone who knew the real reason Baozi made a move would probably think so. After all, this wasn't a prediction that came from experience in Glory. It was just a kind of childish instinct. Baozi probably didn't understand how much of a threat Wu Qi's Cruel Silence had posed.
But could this kind of childish instinct count as a kind of intuition? It wasn't easy to say. In any case, what had happened was that Cruel Silence had been stopped by Baozi's Paralysis Needle. After that, Tang Rou hadn't stopped attacking Han Yanrou. In a flash, Cruel Silence was right in front of her. His dagger was about to pierce her. Tang Rou jumped in fright. In this kind of critical moment, she didn't think and immediately focused all of her attacks on Cruel Silence.
If not for Baozi messing around, Tang Rou's unthinking reaction might not have been able to make it in time. But now, with Baozi's interference, Tang Rou's sudden change in focus suddenly became a huge explosion!
If she didn't explode, she would have been hit. In this kind of dangerous situation, was there even a need to say how fierce Tang Rou would be?
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim also came to help. However, he didn't rush to attack Cruel Silence. Instead, he rushed towards Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn, blocking Sun Xiang's nearby support.
Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer and Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain were somewhat similar. Because the two were standing far away, there was no one to interfere with them. At this moment, he hurriedly adjusted his position and shot, trying to force back Happy's counterattack.
Jiang Botao was truly speechless.
He remembered that not long ago, he had been the target of Happy's attacks. How was it that in the blink of an eye, his Empty Waves was left hanging? Of Happy's four characters, not a single one was facing him. What the hell were they fighting for? Was there any clear tactical intent? Do you still have a resolute direction to follow?
It was a complete mess.
It was a chaotic battle. Happy didn't have a clear goal or intention. He just played as he pleased. Samsara was forced to react to every move that came their way. Following Happy's rhythm, they were forced into a passive position.
I can't let this go on!
Jiang Botao, who had been ignored, now had a clear perspective. Happy didn't have any strategy or tactics, but it definitely wasn't without purpose. This sort of chaotic battle was very common in Glory's Arena. It wasn't a high level battle. Happy's players were of course much better than the players in the game, but that didn't change the low-end nature of this chaotic battle.
But this was precisely Happy's purpose. They would try to drag Samsara into this kind of low-end rhythm and atmosphere, and then use their rich low-end experience to defeat Samsara. From the looks of it, they were already seeing results. Samsara was in a passive position because this wasn't how they were used to playing. The pro players present were all masters of looking three steps ahead of them. But now, they couldn't see three steps ahead of them. Happy took one step, they followed one step. And then, there was no and then …
They had to control the rhythm. They couldn't be dragged along by Happy.
Jiang Botao had made a clear decision. The other three players on Samsara had more or less noticed. But Sun Xiang's One Leaf Of Autumn and Wu Qi's Cruel Silence were being pressured. For a moment, they could only follow Happy's rhythm. However, Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer was far away, so there was no one to interfere with his adjustments.
No longer covering for those two, no longer trying to interfere with Happy's offense, Cloud Piercer's attacks suddenly had a clear target.
Lord Grim!
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim.
Well done.
Jiang Botao praised in his heart. Zhou Zekai's judgment was quick and accurate. Focusing on Lord Grim was the best way to resolve the current situation. Happy's chaotic battle actually hid a bit of strategy, and Ye Xiu was the only one in charge of it. His Lord Grim would switch between low-level skills at a fast pace, threading the needle between the lines.
After sniping Lord Grim, Happy's chaotic battle style would be reduced to a low-level one. Sun Xiang and Wu Qi wouldn't be unable to find an opening.
One in front, one behind, Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao launched a pincer attack. The two didn't communicate in the team chat, but right now, their attacks were incomparably coordinated. Even though Zhou Zekai and Sun Xiang were this season's Best Partners, Jiang Botao, who had glued Zhou Zekai and the rest of the team together after coming to Samsara, was undoubtedly the player with the greatest chemistry with Zhou Zekai. It was just that he wasn't as flashy as Zhou Zekai or Sun Xiang. His coordination, his tacit understanding, was always on display in different situations.
Just like right now, Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer launched a powerful attack at Lord Grim. Jiang Botao didn't seem to be in a hurry. Empty Waves' movements seemed to be a beat slower, but it was this one beat slower that blocked off Lord Grim's path of retreat.
In the end, Zhou Zekai's Cloud Piercer would be the one to dominate the battle. Jiang Botao, on the other hand, stopped all the dirty words in this gorgeous scene. He silently pushed Zhou Zekai forward. This was what he had been doing ever since coming to Samsara.
Dodge!
Cloud Piercer's powerful attacks left Ye Xiu with no choice but to dodge Lord Grim.
But to the right was Han Yanrou and Baozi. If he dodged to the right, his attacks would disrupt their rhythm. Behind him, Empty Waves' wave slash had already retreated. He had no way of retreating to make adjustments. There seemed to be only one choice available to him, which was to turn left …
If he went to the left, he would be separated from the three. If he went to the left, he would be within Samsara's calculations. There would definitely be even more troublesome attacks waiting for him.
But apart from this, what other choice did he have?
Forward?
Today, Happy had shown their ferocious progress many times. In this kind of situation, Brave Surge used brute force to overcome brute force. Even their healer seemed to be full of brute force. Thinking of Lord Grim's Swift Charge and Myriad Manifestations Umbrella's myriad of variations, countless people were already boiling with excitement. But this time, Ye Xiu disappointed them.
Lord Grim didn't charge towards Cloud Piercer's attacks, but he also didn't follow Samsara's wishes and move to the left.
He retreated!
Jiang Botao stared blankly.
Ye Xiu didn't choose to let Lord Grim face Cloud Piercer's gunfire head on. He chose to retreat. This was to break through Empty Waves' blockade.
Unexpected!
Everyone had been prepared to face Cloud Piercer's attacks head-on, but to retreat and break through from Empty Waves' side was something they hadn't expected.
Because Jiang Botao's movements were a beat slower.
His reaction speed seemed slower than Zhou Zekai's, but this was precisely his strength. Slowing down by a beat allowed his actions to be more targeted. After seeing Zhou Zekai's attack, he was able to follow up and coordinate with him accurately. His attitude of not trying to steal the limelight made his movements seem more down-to-earth, but also more practical.
It could even be said this way.
Although Cloud Piercer's attacks were sharp, Empty Waves' coordination was even more threatening.
But the prerequisite was that this threat had to be under Cloud Piercer's powerful offensive. Without Cloud Piercer's offensive pressure, this so-called threat wouldn't exist.
Jiang Botao's playstyle was completely different from Wu Qi's. He didn't hide his killing intent behind his flashy moves. He used a more pragmatic style to complement his teammates' flashy moves, especially Zhou Zekai's.
And this pragmatism of his made him seem more reliable. It was to the point that no one thought of running into Zhou Zekai's sharp edge, but not Jiang Botao's iron plate. But Ye Xiu just so happened to do this.
"What is he trying to do?"
The pro players all let out gasps of surprise. Everyone had some understanding of Jiang Botao's playstyle and how he coordinated with Zhou Zekai. They all knew that in this type of situation, Jiang Botao's defensive zone was actually more threatening.
But when everyone exclaimed in unison, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Reverse thinking?" Yu Wenzhou said.
"That's pretty daring." Huang Shaotian said. As the most famous opportunist in Glory, he could understand Ye Xiu's way of thinking. However, this didn't mean that this was a beautiful choice. It could only be said that this was a very bold choice.
No one thought that this was an opportunity. No one would make this kind of choice. Over time, even Jiang Botao himself got used to this type of situation. He didn't slack off because of this. It was just that when Ye Xiu's Lord Grim charged forward, he realized that he was very unfamiliar with this type of situation. He realized that he actually didn't have much experience in dealing with this type of forceful charge. This was because most of the time, the opponent would be scared away. And those who would charge forward weren't courageous or confident. They were the result of a momentary lapse in judgment.
Ye Xiu wasn't making a mistake. Ye Xiu was doing it on purpose. What he displayed was still the same: fast.
He turned around while retreating. He used a skill while turning around. He moved at high speed while using the skill.
Jiang Botao saw it all, but he couldn't keep up with the rhythm. His awareness and mechanics seemed to have entered a cooldown. His mechanics didn't stop, but even he knew that he was slow. Too slow. Compared to Ye Xiu's speed, he was far, far too slow.
In the blink of an eye, Lord Grim was right in front of him. His Wave Slash, which had been treated as an iron plate, floated around like a piece of paper. Cloud Piercer's bullets were still chasing after Lord Grim, but at this moment, Jiang Botao felt as if these bullets were all aimed at him, as if they were covering for Lord Grim's charge.
Colliding Stab!
Lord Grim charged forward, crashing into Empty Waves. Soon after, Tang Rou and Baozi quickly changed targets and suddenly charged in his direction. Su Mucheng's heavy firepower had already begun to bombard Empty Waves.
He … he's changing targets again?
Jiang Botao was feeling a bit dizzy from Happy's tempo. Sometimes, it was like this. But suddenly, they were able to unleash such a barrage of attacks. Samsara was always chasing after their rhythm. Samsara had completely lost the initiative!
