In the second round, Xu Yang decided to change tactics. He chose to kill the enemy archers first because Ling Xueshang's commanding skills were just too strong. If he didn't change tactics, he wouldn't be able to win!
But to their surprise, Ling Xueshang had predicted Xu Yang's strategy like no other and changed her tactics at the same time. The three archers used Freezing Arrows to slow Xu Yang down and kited the two warriors with their own movements. Chaos Moon, High Fighting Spirits, and the others couldn't hold out against them at all!
"Puff …"
Chaos Moon was the first to fall to the ground, and High Fighting Spirits was the second. Both of them were warriors who put all their stat points into Strength, so their Defense was just too weak. There was no way they could withstand Ling Xueshang's 2000 + Attack.
Moreover, Ling Xueshang's General Skill was Encourage IV, which boosted her Attack by 37%. On the other hand, Xu Yang's Encourage III was a huge disadvantage!
… …
0: 2. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls' second place team made it to the Top 16. It wasn't a shame that they lost to a team like The Monarch Descends.
The group of people walked out of the battle room, but they didn't look too dejected. Gui Guzi grabbed his bag and slapped Xu Yang's shoulder with a hearty laugh. High Fighting Spirits and Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun were teasing Chaos Moon, but Chaos Moon ignored them. She took out an apple from her bag and started munching on it. Book fans loved to read:
"How do you feel?" I asked.
Gui Guzi smiled. "I feel like I was played by Ling Xueshang …"
I laughed. "The Monarch Descends is a veteran team. They even participated in the WSL back in the day, so they have a lot of experience. Just treat this as your training. You will have plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't worry, the stage will belong to you in the end."
"Mn!"
Gui Guzi nodded strongly and pulled out a knife from his bag to cut a watermelon. Ling Xueshang, who had just walked out of the battle room, paled in fright.
The next match was the quarter-finals of Group C, and it was another clash between strong teams — Snowy Cathaya VS The Monarch Descends. It was a match between a CGL Hall of Famer and a Beautiful Little Pepper.
However, Snowy Cathaya's morale was high right now, and they looked like they could kill anything that stood in their way. I couldn't help but worry for The Monarch Descends and Ling Xueshang.
Lin Yixin had led Snowy Cathaya to destroy Hunting Moon Dynasty, Return of the King, and so on. She had run into CGL Hall of Famers as well, and if she could defeat The Monarch Descends as well, then Lin Yixin's path of Who Will Rise would be built on the corpses of CGL Hall of Famers!
…
Just as I predicted, their tactical changes alone were the highlight of the Who Will Rise match!
Ling Xueshang used two warriors to form a moving human wall to block Snowy Cathaya's assault, and Lin Yixin used her Dark Tongue Mage, Shadow Chanel, to set up a few piles of firepower. The rest of her party members retreated to a corner of the battlefield and gave the enemy warriors a taste of their own medicine. At the same time, they also extended their frontline.
Seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, Ling Xueshang immediately ordered her archers to cross the fire wall and attack from afar. Snowy Cathaya was at a disadvantage, and Purple Marquis lost almost half of his HP in an instant. However, Lin Yixin immediately came up with a countermeasure. She ordered Purple Marquis to move around and attract the enemy's firepower so that they could slowly pull away from the enemy's formation. When Ling Xueshang and the other two archers entered the minefield, Lin Yixin pulled out her Frozen Sword and shouted, "Kill them!
The battle truly began, and it lasted for almost five minutes. In the end, Lin Yixin and Purple Marquis's military strategy and sacrificed the other three female players to finally take down The Monarch Descends.
The fact that Ling Xueshang had single-handedly killed Clear Perfume and Shadow Chanel was a testament to her strength. None of the CGL Hall of Famers were pushovers.
The second round was still a stalemate. Finally, the Holy Bard, Beauty At First Sight, couldn't hold back any longer. She pressed her jade flute to her lips and started playing a beautiful song that confused the enemy. Combat Log: Player "Beauty At First Sight" used "Besieged", reducing the attack power and attack speed of all targets within 100 yards by 10%. Every attack has a 40% chance to miss. Duration: 25 seconds. Cannot be interrupted unless the caster is killed!
… …
Holy shit, she's finally using her trump card. 40% chance to miss? What the hell is that?
Ling Xueshang stomped her feet in anger when she missed two arrows in a row. "Ahhhh, how can there be a skill like this? I don't want to live anymore …"
Lin Yixin fulfilled her wish. Wielding her Frozen Sword, she cut off Ling Xueshang's path with a few beautiful steps and took the opportunity to one-shot the enemy team leader with Extreme Break.
The moment Ling Xueshang died, The Monarch Descends collapsed like a landslide. There was no way they could stop Purple Marquis and the others. In just one minute, Snowy Cathaya won!
My scalp tingled as I watched. I whispered, "Fuck, isn't this Besieged skill … a little too strong?"
He Yi nodded. "I thought we had at least a 60% chance of winning against Snowy Cathaya, but now it looks like a 40% chance is good …"
Li Chengfeng gulped down his cola and grinned. "It's fine. As long as we can kill Beauty At First Sight, this skill is useless, isn't it?
Logically speaking, a bard shouldn't be too strong … "
I nodded and said, "Chengfeng, we'll kill Beauty At First Sight right away. Beiming Xue, hold Lin Yixin down with Freezing Arrows. We can't let her attack without restraint. Fans love to read this."
"Got it!"
Everyone nodded in unison and continued watching the rest of the match.
It was the last round of 16 — Warsky Alliance VS Hegemon Palace, Dirge of War VS Baidicheng...
Finally, the three CGL Hall of Famers of Warsky Alliance were going to clash with Little Piglet and Shangguan Wan 'er. It was going to be an exciting match.
Whoosh!
Li Chengfeng rose to his feet and rubbed his stomach. "Fuck, I drank too much cola. I'm going to the toilet to relieve myself. Do you want to party up with me?"
I shook my head. "You go. I'll party up with sis later …"
Murong Mingyue: "Fuck, who wants to go with you, you little gangster …"
Li Chengfeng laughed loudly and left.
On the stage, Warsky led Warsky Alliance onto the stage. Hegemon Palace's Wang Dongliang, his good friend Zhao Yufeng, Little Piglet, Shangguan Wan 'er, and more. After glaring at each other in a friendly manner for a while, they entered the battle room and started fighting each other.
The battle was intense and exciting. Little Piglet's mechanics were commendable, but his opponent was Farewell Song, whose mechanics were just as good. After a couple of clashes, Farewell Song finally found the opportunity he had been waiting for. Once Little Piglet was distracted from attacking Laughing At The Heavens, Farewell Song immediately stunned Little Piglet and worked together with October Rain to finish him off. Little Piglet died with a smile on his face. Fans of the novel loved to read:
Warsky Alliance beat their opponents 2: 0 in total. Warsky Alliance was undeniably strong, and they had three CGL Hall of Famers. Farewell Song was the strongest assassin in the current China server, and even I had to be wary of him, let alone Little Piglet.
The next match was between Dirge of War and Baidicheng.
I looked back and asked in puzzlement, "Fuck, it's been almost half an hour. Why isn't Li Chengfeng back yet? Did he fall into the toilet and get flushed away?"
Beiming Xue said, "If that's the case, you'll have to go to Huangpu River to find him, big bro …"
Me: "..."
A while later, I frowned. "Our match against Candle Dragon is about to start, and Li Chengfeng is really unreliable. Why isn't he back yet?
I'll go to the washroom to find him! "
"Mn!"
He Yi nodded with a smile. "The semifinals will start in about 15 minutes. Come back soon!"
“OK！”
I rose to my feet and walked out of the arena. A beautiful female staff walked up to me and asked, "Where are you going, Lu Chen?"
"I'm going to the washroom to look for Legendary Brave …"
The girl's mouth fell open in surprise. "Ah, there are Legendary Brave in the washroom?
Even Brave's tastes have changed these days … "
I nodded. "Not really. I'm just going to the men's restroom to look for …"
"Oh, I see. Still, be careful. There are a lot of participants this time, and it's a mix of good and bad. I saw a male participant looking around in the women's restroom just now, and he wouldn't tell me who he was when I asked him. It was only later that I realized that he was the priest of Hegemon Palace, Profound Puff …"
"Hmph hmph, he's an unreliable guy. Fans like to read: Puff."
"Yeah …"
… …
Anyway, I had to find Li Chengfeng. The match was about to start, and I didn't want to miss the chance to become the king of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls.
I ran straight to the washroom. Before I entered the men's washroom, I saw two people next to the sink. Instantly, I shivered in shock. The water had splashed and there was fresh blood on the ground. Li Chengfeng was holding a gooseneck faucet in his hand. He was leaning against the corner of the wall and there was still blood on the faucet. The front of Li Chengfeng's shirt was dyed red and there was a bloody wound on his arm. Blood was still flowing out from it.
On the other side, a man in military uniform was staring coldly at Li Chengfeng. He was also holding a faucet in his hand, and there was a huge wound on his forehead. His blood was mixed with his hair, and he was glaring at Li Chengfeng. His mouth was dry and cracked, and he was glaring at the man.
It was none other than Candlelight Shadow!
… …
Thud thud thud!
I stepped into the water and asked, "What's going on?"
Li Chengfeng looked at Candlelight Shadow and suddenly laughed. "No … nothing …"
Candlelight Shadow's lips curled into a disdainful smile. "Falling Dust, you idiot. Don't you understand?
This person joined Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls just to use you. Haha, I can't believe a smart person like you would turn out to be this stupid, hahaha … "
"Use me?"
I looked at Li Chengfeng, and he looked back at me indifferently. He didn't say anything, but he silently admitted it.
