Fei Houzi felt a sudden push on his back and saw his body quickly dissipate in a white light.
He was only one step away!
He was about to cry. Unfortunately, he had been fighting for too long and had used up most of his skills. He simply couldn't resist Cloudy Leaf, who was desperate and mad at the sight of Mu Qiu.
Mu Qiu wasn't too depressed. He had expected that he wouldn't be able to save his teammate. After all, they were still quite far apart.
He even took a slight detour to meet up with his teammates. There was no need to face a Mage who was still in a powerful burst state. Being angry wouldn't solve the problem. As a veteran player who had been playing for two or three years, he knew better than anyone else how to avoid a direct confrontation.
Cloudy Leaf had created a miracle. He had brought both sides back to an equal number of players.
However, Ruling Sword was left with Sakura Memories, Moonlight and Mu Qiu, while Gale Legion was left with Gaze, Cloudy Leaf and Flowing Wind. In terms of damage output, Ruling Sword couldn't compete with Gale Legion's Paladin composition, but no one was optimistic about Gale Legion's chances.
"Gale Legion lost too badly this time," Jiu Feng said, almost sympathizing with them.
"If there are no surprises, the final result should be six to three. Ruling Sword has Mu Qiu as their healer, so Sakura Memories' Bloodlust will be off cooldown. Gale Legion, on the other hand, will only be slowly whittled down." Four Seas Dragon didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed like they were evenly matched, but the difference was actually quite large.
"Our only chance is to kill Sakura Memories, but is that even possible?" Jiu Feng asked.
Even Jiu Feng could see that Gale Legion's three players weren't stupid. They naturally knew that they had to kill Sakura Memories. Otherwise, Moonlight's Bloodlust would be terrifying.
Their HP was low, but Ruling Sword had a healer. The key to killing Sakura Memories was to kill Mu Qiu's healing. Could they do it?
They had to do it even if they couldn't!
This match was full of ups and downs. The audience had a feast for their eyes and could not understand the bitterness of the Gale Legion. There were even some people who cheered for the Gale Legion. They felt that they had gone from being outnumbered to a draw. They were all inspirational emperors, and many people were looking forward to their continued glory …
Mu Qiu calmly healed Sakura Memories, then raised his weapon and slashed at Flowing Wind.
Under the shoutcaster's reminder, everyone realized that Mu Qiu wasn't using any skills. He was just using a normal slash. A Paladin that focused on Intelligence didn't have much attack power. Flowing Wind couldn't even deal double digit damage.
Sakura Memories didn't turn around to fight. She just kept running, running around Moonlight.
She had people healing her, and she was constantly running. It wasn't easy to kill her in a short period of time. As time passed, Gale Legion finally discovered that Flowing Wind was in danger. His HP had been reduced to less than half by Moonlight and Mu Qiu. In a situation where no one was healing him, it wasn't difficult to get him to half of his HP.
Cloudy Leaf wasn't easy to kill. He had two Ice Blocks and a Mage's Awaken skill could restore health and mana. On the other hand, Flowing Wind, who was a powerful Knight, was a pushover.
As Sakura Memories ran, she suddenly stopped and summoned a fiery red totem that was stuck into the ground. Tongues of fire flew towards Gaze and Cloudy Leaf who were chasing her. In fact, this totem only looked strong, but its damage and speed reduction effects were minimal.
However, when Cloudy Leaf and Gaze saw the Tongues of Fire totem, their expressions changed.
With the Tongues of Fire to buy her time, Sakura Memories stopped and decisively activated Bloodlust. She then used a special effect that she hadn't used before and rushed towards Flowing Wind, who didn't have much HP left.
Flowing Wind died!
When Bloodlust's duration ended, although Cloudy Leaf and Gaze were still alive, they were no longer at full HP.
Seeing the three Ruling Sword players at full HP, even the most determined players could only shake their heads and smile bitterly. They had fought to the end and protected Gale Legion's last bit of dignity, but it didn't have any impact on the outcome of the match.
"Was it a mistake to kill Lu Li first? If they had changed their target, would they have had a chance of winning?" Jiu Feng asked before the match ended.
"There's only one possibility for something that didn't happen. Killing Lu Li was a clever plan, but they didn't achieve their strategic goal," Four Seas Dragon laughed and didn't answer Jiu Feng's question directly.
"Is there any hope for Gale Legion?" Jiu Feng asked.
"There shouldn't be any hope," Four Seas Dragon said as he watched Gale Legion's last player, Cloudy Leaf, being sent out of the arena. He then announced the final result of the match, "The previous match was 5-3, but now it's 6-3. The final score is 11-6."
With a gap of five points, it was impossible for Gale Legion to turn the tables no matter how well they performed.
If Gale Legion wanted to win, they would have to surpass Ruling Sword by at least 5 points in the next match. The arena matches weren't separated by venue. If the next match was still 5 to 3, then they wouldn't even be able to defeat all six of Ruling Sword's players without losing a single player in the team match.
The audience was filled with mourning. Gale Legion's bravery in killing Lu Li had been completely forgotten by the audience.
Wendelian, who had been killed a long time ago, wasn't anxious at all. She calmed down at this moment. After all, the result had already been determined. Whether it was good or bad, it made people feel more at ease. Gale Legion's first season of the league had come to an end.
In fact, this result wasn't unacceptable. From the moment they stepped on the plane to Jiangnan City, they didn't have the confidence to win.
As for the question of whether or not they should have killed Lu Li first, this wasn't so important anymore. If she was given another chance, Wendelian would probably still make the same choice. Leaving a Thief with countless tricks up his sleeves and was used to creating miracles was too much of a variable.
Besides, Wendelian had used Lu Li to make everyone hate her.
They were already weak, and the fact that they were able to fight to this point had already exceeded her expectations.
She could accept it, but that didn't mean that others could, especially people like Gaze. Although he had already been mentally prepared and expected this result, the match wasn't over yet. There was always a glimmer of hope in his heart for a miracle. It wasn't until this moment that Gaze's heart was truly dead.
He used to be as famous as Moonlight, and they had fought for the title of God of War.
Now that he was standing on the stage again, of course, he would continue to fight. However, it seemed that at least in this season's league, he was slightly inferior to Moonlight.
So far, the top four teams of the league had all fought once. The Capital of Glory didn't pull too far away from Drizzle Court, but Ruling Sword directly eliminated their opponent in one match. On the surface, it seemed like there were still three teams fighting for the championship, but in fact, everyone knew that in the end, it was still a battle between Ruling Sword and The Capital of Glory.
