Chapter 656 – Slaying Xiang Yan (1/2)
Chapter 656 - Slaying Xiang Yan
“Fuck……this is embarrassing……”
Having been sent back to the ringside, Jing Ke could only shrug helplessly: “I actually got done in by Li Xiao Yao’s baby sister……”
Ye Lai, lifted up his battleaxe, and chuckled: “Definitely a shameful display, do better next round!”
“Mmm!”
Round 2. This time Jing Ke was much more conservative. Cautiously relying on stun+strike combos as well as parrying Meng Yao’s onslaughts, he managed to preserve his own HP and drained hers dry by the end of their third collision; taking back 1 point.
Round 3. Jing Ke’s luck ran out. Right at the start of the match, he took on the full effects of a critical hit by Meng Yao. Left with just 50% of his HP, he stubbornly refused to pop a potion’s CD and instead, relied on HP Drain over another endurance contest.
And then right when [Jing Ke] was about to make his third attempt at a combo, the ring on Meng Yao’s right hand suddenly start turning and a green glow enshrouded Jing Ke. The effect was displayed on the bottom of the wide-screen broadcast: Rage Skill [Recovery Ban] - For 7 seconds, no methods of recovery can be used! The CD that he had been so unwilling to waste was suddenly wasted and a brutal follow-up combo from Meng Yao subsequently took him down.
2:1！
Unbelievable. Meng Yao had actually managed to win a point for the team.
Wolf, especially was just a step from tearing up from laughter. Slapping Old K’s back; he yelled, “How’s that huh, Old K?Did I not tell you that ring is good stuff? You even dared to claim it’s just a ‘Gold tier ring’ with ‘no redeeming value’! You got anything to say now? What, you thought Meng Yao’s skill level is like yours? That ring could only show it’s true worth in the hands of someone like her…….”
Old K sheepishly grinned: “Ah, Meng Yao’s true skill is indeed an eye opener. She was actually able to take down Jing Ke…….”
……
Soon it was the second match, [Ye Lai] VS [Yue Yao Yan].
As someone personally recruited by Wan Er, Yue Yao Yan was definitely a capable fighter and commander. But unfortunately, she was still far from Ye Lai’s level. What’s worse, she was a Knight so there wasn’t any advantage against Ye Lai who was also a heavy armored class. He trounced her soundly with a 2:0.
1:1 tie!
Third match, Cang Lei VS Babel Buddha
Beyond everyone’s expectations, Dong Cheng Lei, normally considered a 3rd rate player, just barely lost in a 1:2 to his opponent. At the same time, everyone could see just how frightening Babel Buddha’s agility is. A Wind Swordsman’s attack and movement speed is on a level that completely eclipsed Cang Lei’s.
2:1 Meng Yao’s team was now teetering on the edge.
Fourth Match. The deciding round. The moment Babel Buddha entered the ring, he switched his gear and turned from an agile swordsman to a tank build. It even had a 30% damage reflection bonus with it. Cang Lei might as well have committed self-mutilation as he hacked away at him. Through the use of the hidden class skill [Wind Pulse], Babel Buddha restrained both his opponents in place for Ye Lai to deal damage to them. This vanguard & striker tactic completely suppressed the Cang Lei and Death God’s Elegy duo’s teamwork.
3:1, Team Meng Yao was now out automatically. The fifth match was no different on top of that. A complete pulverization….. 4:1. And that’s how this little sister of mine ended her exploits in this Wings of Heroes Cup. But still, to enter the top 16 in her very first tournament, that’s quite some luck there.
……
Meng Yao, Yue Yao Yan, Ah Lei and the rest left the stage, helmets in hand and a smile on their faces, and exchanged greeting with their opponents. Hmm, not bad. That kind of open-mindedness is what’s important.
Not long after, Fei Er ascended the stage once more. Notifying everyone that Group B’s matches will start immediately.
Team [Fang Ge Que] VS Team [Li Mu]..... a confrontation between [Zhan Long] and [Legend]. Not long after, both team’s setup appeared on the broadcast——
1V1: Enchanted Painting LV-116 Swordsman VS General Wang Jian LV-115 Swordsman
1V1: Fang Ge Que LV-121 Archmage VS General Bai Qi LV-114 Berserker
1V1: Xuan Yuan Feng LV-116 Knight VS General Li Mu LV-115 Swordsman
2V2: Enchanted Painting LV-116 Swordsman VS General Wang Jian LV-115 Swordsman
Fang Ge Que LV-121 ArchmageGeneral Li Mu LV-115 Swordsman
5V5：ALL VS ALL
……
Even before he went on stage, Li Mu gave off the feeling as if he was about to walk to his doom. I could only give him a pat on the shoulder: “No need to cry. You won’t lose anything when you already have nothing to begin with. Just go give them a run for their money. If you somehow win, we’ll treat you to a meal, and if you lose, no one would blame you.”
Li Mu nodded: “Thanks for the ‘encouragement’……”
Wang Jian laughed: “The first match is against Enchanted Painting, hehe, I’ve always wanted to try my hand against that chick. The legendary [Pulse Break Style]......”
Bai Qi: “You’ve dueled with Boss quite a bit already so you should have an idea on how to counter it. Just make sure you don’t get 2:0.”
“Relax!”
