The Illusion Swordsman, Ah Hong, was dressed in red and had red hair and a red scabbard. There was a bright red scar on his face. His eyes were staring at the five of them, revealing a faint scarlet color.
"Pay attention to the Illusion Swordsman's eyes. The redder his eyes, the stronger his combat strength," Ye Xiu explained to the rookies.
"Hand over your life!" However, the Illusion Swordsman was very impatient. He was even more impatient than Baozi Invasion, who already had a Brick in hand. He leaped into the air and used a majestic Collapsing Mountain right from the start.
"Pay attention! His Collapsing Mountain's seismic waves are higher in range, "Ye Xiu hurriedly reminded them.
Range referred to the ability to attack the air. The higher the Void Seizing Technique, the greater the range of the Void Seizing Technique.
Normal Collapsing Mountain's seismic waves could be dodged by jumping once one was familiar with its range. However, the Illusion Swordsman's Collapsing Mountain was different in this aspect. Hence, Ye Xiu reminded them to prevent Tang Rou and Baozi Invasion from treating Collapsing Mountain as normal.
Unfortunately, this reminder came a little too late.
Tang Rou reacted very quickly. Before Ye Xiu could finish his sentence, she had already reacted to the attack by jumping and dodging. And when she jumped and dodged, she controlled Han Yanrou to use Dragon's Teeth Illusion Swordsman to attack. This girl, Tang Rou, was just that aggressive.
As for Baozi Invasion, he did not jump and dodge. The moment he saw the Collapsing Mountain, he hurriedly ran a few steps away from the seismic waves' range. Then, he threw a Brick over. Baozi Invasion was just that wretched.
But when she heard Ye Xiu's reminder, Tang Rou knew she was in trouble.
She did not try her best to jump high. The most perfect maneuver was to do everything perfectly. She could not use any less strength, but she could not use any more strength either. Her jump could be interpreted as an ordinary Mountain-shattering Strike, which was a perfect dodge. However, when she encountered the Illusion Swordsman's attack …
The shockwave from the saber slashing the ground was faintly red, as if it had set off a bloody mist. Han Yanrou was completely unable to dodge the shockwave. She flew up into the sky and spun around like a spinning top.
The BOSS also knew how to seize the opportunity to use combo attacks. The Illusion Swordmaster immediately jumped up and used the Blade Master skill Rising Dragon Slash, slashing at Han Yanrou.
Even though Tang Rou's mechanics were good, after being sent flying by Collapsing Mountain, her character was spinning like a top. Naturally, she could only see a 360 degree change on the screen. In this situation, she couldn't make any precise movements. Tang Rou randomly fired a shot, not knowing where it was aimed at.
Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had already rushed forward, thrusting with his spear and unleashing a Circle Swing, wanting to pull down the Illusion Swordmaster. As a result, he immediately witnessed the unique skill of the Illusion Swordsman, Ah Hong, which he had previously emphasized to everyone: the left-handed blade.
A cold light flashed.
It didn't surge. It was very thin and very quickly, as if it had disappeared in an instant. But this blade knocked against Lord Grim's spear and the Circle Swing was knocked to the side. The attack missed.
"Boom boom boom!" Three cannon shots rang out.
At the same time that the left-handed blade knocked away the Circle Swing, Cleansing Mist's Anti-Tank Missiles had already arrived and exploded. The three cannon shots exploded on the Illusion Swordmaster's body in midair. But a BOSS was still a BOSS. The Anti-Tank Missiles should have been able to push monsters away, but the Illusion Swordmaster's body only trembled. The Rising Dragon Slash still hadn't been broken. The light from the blade rose into the air and slashed at the spinning Han Yanrou.
The spinning top Han Yanrou spun even faster and crashed into a nearby cliff. Blood sprayed out from the edge of the blade. Han Yanrou bounced off the cliff and fell to the ground. She looked dispirited, but the instant she was about to hit the ground, she nimbly Quick Recover and stood back up, full of energy. As long as the owner's fighting spirit hadn't disappeared, then the character in the game would never appear dispirited.
The Illusion Swordmaster's Rising Dragon Slash was much faster than a player's skill. This was also one of the more troublesome aspects when facing a BOSS. Even though many of the BOSS 'skills were in the game's skill tree, their effects were often different from the player's. In most cases, the BOSS' skills were stronger than the player's skills.
The Illusion Swordmaster had already finished his skill in midair. When he landed, he suddenly pointed his sword and sent out a Falling Light Blade towards Lord Grim, who was closest to him.
Ye Xiu swiped his keyboard. Lord Grim had already stepped to the side. Before the Illusion Swordmaster's Falling Light Blade hit the ground, Lord Grim pulled out his sword from the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. A silver light drew a huge semicircle, and on the other side, an identical circular sword light flashed. The two sword lights intertwined with each other, as if they were pieced together to form a bright full moon.
The one who attacked was Qiao Yifan. He had grasped the same timing as Ye Xiu and used the same skill, the Ghostblade's Level 15 skill, Moonlight Slash.
"Good!" Ye Xiu shouted. The shadow blade was struck by the two blades, but this Falling Light Blade was broken. His body was clamped in the air by the blade light. Just as he was about to fall, he saw two even larger arcs of blade light flash out at the same time, following the trajectory of the previous Moonlight Slash. However, they flew in a complete arc in the direction of the backhand.
Ghostblade Level 20 skill: Full Circle Slash.
This skill originally had a bit of a knockback effect, but at this moment, Qiao Yifan and Ye Xiu each had one side and used the skill at the same time. The two skills' effects canceled each other out and the Illusion Swordmaster floated in the air, as if he couldn't move. The sword light faded. Just as he was about to fall to the ground, he saw a Laser Beam hit him in the chest, pushing him back several steps.
This skill was naturally Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist's Laser Beam.
"Ice Boundary!" At the same time that Ye Xiu shouted, Qiao Yifan had already used the skill. The ice on the tip of his sword scattered. Under the control of the Ghost God's Ice Soul, a Frost Barrier was formed. Ye Xiu also took advantage of this opportunity to wave his sword and release a Ghost God's Sword Soul's Sword Boundary.
The wretched Baozi Invasion was like a passing bystander. He ran past the two and waved his hand, hitting the Illusion Swordmaster, who had just gotten up, with a handful of sand.
Blind effect activated!
The Illusion Swordmaster clearly lost his sense of direction and couldn't find his opponent. He spun around twice in place. The Ice Boundary's effect had already activated. The power of the ice corroded his body. With a "pop", the Freeze effect activated and the Illusion Swordmaster was frozen into a large block of ice.
Tang Rou, who had suffered a huge loss at the start of the fight, had already controlled Soft Mist to quickly close the distance. In the short time it took to freeze the opponent, she used Double Stab, Dragon Tooth, and Falling Flower Palm. Accompanying the three skills were three Chasers.
After the three skills, the Freeze effect disappeared. After the ice shattered, the Illusion Swordmaster immediately waved his sword and used a Cross Slash. The scarlet cross didn't look like a sword light. Instead, it looked like two streaks of blood flew towards Han Yanrou. Tang Rou immediately jumped back to dodge. Just as she was about to counterattack, she didn't think that there would be a Small Cross Slash hidden behind the Large Cross Slash. In that instant, Tang Rou only saw the Illusion Swordsman's left hand return to his waist. Only then did she know that the Illusion Swordsman had actually used his secret technique, "Left Hand Blade". Two Cross Slashes were released at the same time, using the big to hide the small.
Poor Tang Rou was once again hit by the Small Cross Slash. She looked down and saw that the cross wound in front of her had begun to bleed. She knew that this was the Bleed effect of the Cross Slash. She had miserably been hit by it again.
The gloomy Tang Rou didn't dare to advance. She immediately ate a health potion and retreated. The Illusion Swordmaster's Bleed effect was extremely high. Even after eating a health potion, she still couldn't stop her health from dropping. Tang Rou was a bit flustered. She didn't know how much health she would lose or if she could hold on.
"Rest for a bit." Ye Xiu's Lord Grim said as he rushed past her to block the Illusion Swordmaster. Tang Rou immediately calmed down. She believed in Ye Xiu's judgement and knew that she wouldn't die.
Tang Rou, whose health was too low, temporarily became a spectator. Baozi's Invasion continued to play dirty. He didn't dare to get too close to the Illusion Swordmaster. He used Sand Toss and Brick Attack as long-ranged attacks and would look for opportunities to attack. As a result, the ones facing the Illusion Swordmaster head on were Ye Xiu and Qiao Yifan. Su Mucheng's Cleansing Mist was a Launcher, so she naturally couldn't get close to the Illusion Swordmaster.
Ye Xiu saw everything. After all, pro players were still pro players. No matter if it was him, Su Mucheng, or Qiao Yifan, they were all facing the Illusion Swordmaster with ease. Tang Rou was beaten half to death, but she still had her old problem: she didn't have enough experience. As for Baozi's Invasion, he was currently playing dirty and wandering outside of the team. For a team, this type of performance was quite limited.
Tang Rou and Baozi's Invasion weren't very suitable players for a team.
Tang Rou was too competitive. Her offensive abilities were too strong. Her performances were all centered around herself. Her problem was actually very similar to Sun Xiang's problem in Excellent Era's first match: her overly strong individual performance caused her to lose touch with the team.
However, in the current team, there was Ye Xiu, Su Mucheng, and Qiao Yifan. They were all far stronger than Tang Rou, so they were still able to suppress her performance. However, as Tang Rou's skill level increased, this problem would be exposed sooner or later.
As for Baozi's Invasion, this guy was too casual and had too much of his own style. As an individual, he might become a player that no one else could replicate. However, as a team, this type of player wouldn't be able to completely harmonize with the team because his style was too unique.
This type of player also had a precedent.
Wang Jiexi, Team Micrograss's current captain, Wang Jiexi. The Magician's style was the most crafty and graceful in the entire Alliance. In the individual competition, Wang Jiexi had an extremely high win rate. However, in the team competition, the help he could give the team was limited. How to integrate this style into the team was a problem that Wang Jiexi couldn't solve in the end. In the end, he made a sacrifice for the team and changed his style to adapt to the team. Micrograss relied on his changes to win the championship twice in the four years after Excellent Era's three championships.
