Chapter 1148: Qi Master versus Assassin (2)

    "Old Zhou, your distrust wounds me right in the heart!" Fang Rui’s Boundless Sea casually followed the other yer, and he even found time to send a message in chat.


    With this message, not just Zhou Guangyi but every single person who had any understanding of the Glory pro circle was shouting in their hearts: Glory’s master of ying dirty, if even you could be trusted, then nothing would be impossible in this world!


    Zhou Guangyi, of course, was unmoved. He didn’t see any clear signs, but he had a gut feeling that Fang Rui’s trickery was about to unfold. If this were in the past, Zhou Guangyi absolutely could have guessed that this guy had traps over there to lure him into, but a Qi Master couldn’ty traps, so what kind of danger would be waiting for him to discover? Zhou Guangyi didn’t dare slow down, so of course he didn’t want to type a reply. He scrutinized the grass and trees and rocks around him as he moved.


    Shortly thereafter, Cold Seasons retreated all the way to the center of the map, Boundless Sea following him along all the while.


    "As former partners, let’s have a clean and dignified fight to determine who wins!" Fang Rui called out in the chat.


    Zhou Guangyi was speechless. What do you mean, "former partners"? For one, they had never been teammates before. Besides, in their personal rtionship, they had always been friends and had never had any sort of conflict. They were on opposing teams, but that never affected their rtionship. So what was with that "former"?


    But Zhou Guangyi was in no mood to chatter with Fang Rui. Tyranny’s yers might have a word or two with you in a match, but it was never their style to talk on and on.


    "Watch my attack, Sky Piercing Strike!"


    Another message was sent to the chat. And then Boundless Sea waved his hands, but he released a fast Qi Bullet.


    How dirty!


    The audience all thought this, but would Zhou Guangyi be tricked? Of course not, he had known Fang Rui for many years now and had lots of experience facing him in battle. He wouldn’t believe a single thing Fang Rui said in his messages and just pretended he didn’t see them.


    A Qi Bullet of course couldn’t instantly kill an opponent. But Boundless Sea directly used a Qi Flowing Cloud, which was a skill that caused Qi to surround the user and increase the user’s speed in all aspects. Next, he directly charged toward Cold Seasons.


    The Qi Master was a Fighter subss, so of course this ss was very good at closebat, and many explosive skills were better at close range. But the problem was, Qi Masters wore cloth armor with very low physical defense, and most close-range sses were physical attackers. So, if Qi Masters wanted to stay close to an opponent and fight explosively, they needed to find a good opportunity. It was very rare to see a Qi Master shoot a Qi Bullet and then just directly rush an opponent like this.


    Especially since he was facing an Assassin right now, who possessed extremely high physical attack and numerous skills that could deal explosive damage. And this Assassin was in the hands of a former Tyranny yer. yers from Tyranny excelled at this sort of direct fighting. Anyone who had some analytical understanding of Glory all thought that Fang Rui’s actions right now were illogical.


    An All-Star level yer should never be making such illogical actions.


    But, this person was Fang Rui.


    Thus, the illogical immediately smelled of something suspicious.


    There must be some trickery here - this thought crossed the minds of everyone watching this match. They were using their advantage of being able to see the entire battlefield to try and discover the truth that was hidden behind the deceit.


    Everyone thought this way, and Zhou Guangyi was no exception. He was 180% sure that Fang Rui was not nning to have a face-to-face confrontation with him.


    So, when Boundless Sea activated Qi Flowing Cloud, he immediately had Cold Seasons activate Swift Movements. An Assassin sprinting with this buff would move the fastest out of all 24 sses. Even with Qi Flowing Cloud, Boundless Sea couldn’t catch up. As a result, a closebat specialist Assassin was increasing his distance from the mid-range Qi Master. It seemed extremely illogical and counterintuitive.


    But no one thought this way. Everyone felt that Zhou Guangyi actedpletely correctly, as expected of an experienced yer. At this time, how could he let himself fall into Fang Rui’s a? Better to first spar with him a bit.


    In a footrace, Boundless Sea wasn’t Cold Seasons’s opponent, but he had attacking skills. As they ran, heunched Qi Bullet after Qi Bullet, asionally interspersed with other skills. Many of a Qi Master’s skills required a cast time. It was like the Mages’ spellcasting, but here they called it chants. The biggest difference between this and spellcasting was that when spellcasting, a Mage had to focus, so they couldn’t move or make any other actions. Qi Masters were different, their chants could be done at the same time as other actions. This characteristic was simr to a Ninja’s seals.


    They chased and fought for a while, but no trickery was revealed. But the Assassin was a ss that focused on explosive bursts of power, including buffs. They were powerful when used, but their effects were shortsting. The duration of Fleet Foot was much shorter than Qi Flowing Cloud, so after the effect wore off, Boundless Sea steadily caught up to Cold Seasons.


    Of course, this was also partly because Zhou Guangyi didn’t want to runpletely away in the first ce. He just wanted to try and figure out what Fang Rui was up to. But after using up this Fleet Foot, he truly didn’t discover any kind of hidden mystery.


    Next... give it a try?


    This was Zhou Guangyi’s thought. These Tyranny yers never liked running around in circles like this. Today, it was only because he was facing Fang Rui that he was careful and went to the effort to spend so much time wandering around. But now, Zhou Guangyi’s patience had reached its limit. Cold Seasons was in front, Boundless Sea was behind using all sorts of skills to attack nonstop. But Cold Seasons suddenly stopped and spun around, riding a cold light as he flew toward his opponent, prepared to kill.


    Shining Cut!


    An attack skill that also involved the character moving at an extremely fast speed, and in an instant he had appeared next to Boundless Sea. The audience roared in excitement. This counterattack was extremely sudden, but as soon as he decided to take action, it was with such a decisive move. The Assassin’s momentum could change with a nce.


    The Shining Cut came very quickly, but Fang Rui wouldn’t just waiting to be hit. If an attack like this was enough to take him down, did he have the face to stay in this profession?


    Boundless Sea jumped to the side. With a movement of his hands, a mass of Qi sparking with electricity formed between his palms, and he forced it toward Cold Seasons.


    Qi Master skill: sh Burst. After hitting the target, it would pour qi into the target, dealing continuous damage. This skill, if used in coordination with a team CCing the target, a sh Burststing until the end could be extremely painful.


    Although this wasn’t as strong as that situation, Zhou Guangyi didn’t dare slow down. Cold Seasons sheathed his knife from the Shining Cut and jumped, directly to Boundless Sea’s side.


    Then, Boundless Sea also turned with him. He was still holding the sh Burst in his hands, pushing it in this new direction.


    You’re using that as a shield!


    Zhou Guangyi thought this, Cold Seasons instantly jumped up, and then double-jumped. In an instant, he was behind Fang Rui, and he straightened his legs into a Diving Arrow kick.


    Boundless Sea was still holding that sh Burst. This attack was like that, as long as the right controls were being continually inputted, it could be pushed around indefinitely. Even as Cold Seasons ducked around and used that Diving Arrow kick, Boundless Sea’s sh Burst was still prepared to be sent toward him.


    But Diving Arrow also had the side effect of giving the user another jump. Regardless of whether or not the kicknded on its target, the user could borrow its power for movement. Zhou Guangyi of course wouldn’t let Cold Seasons crash into that sh Burst, so he used the force of the kick to move backward.


    Fang Rui finally gave up on this sh Burst, and pushed out a Qi Bullet. This low-level attack didn’t cause much damage, nor did it have any particr effects, so Zhou Guangyi didn’t prepare to dodge it. But this Qi Bullet was actuallyunched inurately. Given its trajectory, it was going to pass right by Cold Seasons without his doing anything.


    But the Golden Right Hand!


    Fang Rui had the title of the Golden Right Hand because of his uracy in attack. How could he miss this attack?


    This guy was thinking too much!


    This was Zhou Guangyi’s instant judgment. He hadn’t nned to dodge this attack, but Fang Rui thought he would, so he aimed slightly elsewhere as a predictive attack, making the attack miss?


    No! It wasn’t like that!


    The instant the Qi Bullet passed him, Zhou Guangyi realized it. Even if it was supposed to be a predictive attack, there was no way it should have that trajectory, and given his Golden Right Hand, there was no way he picked the wrong position by ident. This was...


    It didn’t have much power, but the Qi Bullet was a shing white mass, and as it passed by his face, it filled Zhou Guangyi’s camera with that shing whiteness.


    This guy wanted to make this effect!


    Zhou Guangyi finally realized it, but it was toote...


    He couldn’t see Boundless Sea’s movements, only guess at them, and in the end he couldn’t escape the evil ws of this master of ying dirty. This time, the Golden Right Hand’s attack was extremely urate. Boundless Sea thrust two pointed fingers towards Cold Seasons, and the qi between his fingers was forced into Cold Seasons’s body.


    Qi Master Level 75 skill, Pulse Break.


    There were many attacks where the goal wasn’t to damage the target’s health, but the target’s stats.


    Decrease vitality, decrease strength, decrease intelligence, decrease spirit. With a sessful Pulse Break, the corresponding attribute of the target would be decreased. The Pulse Break that Boundless Sea used here was Break Intelligence, which decreased Cold Seasons’s intelligence stat.


    Decreasing intelligence affected the target’s magic attack, magic defense, and total mana.


    An Assassin didn’t rely on magic attacks, and the ss’s magic defense wasn’t particrly good either. After being hit by this decreased intelligence, his magic defense became even more flimsy. And a Qi Master mostly dealt magic damage. This was obviously the effect that Fang Rui wanted.


    After that attack finished, another immediately followed. A palmnded on Cold Seasons’s body, a Qi st, and the qi was forced into Cold Seasons’s body. There were no shing effects, but the equipment on Cold Seasons’s body suddenly looked like it was malfunctioning, and Cold Seasons’s health slid down at an extreme rate. When a Qi Master dealt damage, it was just that quiet and incredible.


    Thebination of a Level 75 and a Level 70 effect instantly stole away a quarter of Cold Seasons’s health. Cold Seasons was ultimately sent flying by the Qi st, but after he got up, he saw that Fang Rui hadn’t controlled Boundless Sea to chase him over here.


    "Hurry and get up, victory still hasn’t been decided!" Fang Rui, filled with righteousness, continued to talk in the chat...
