Chapter 913 Duel, War of Attrition

"He's so tenacious that it's touching..."

"I didn't expect him to last that long..."

"After all, he's the champion of S1...even though he's just a fool."

When they said these words, the members of Team Warring States had been watching Tianma Xingkong and Oda Ai fighting for a full five minutes.

In daily life, five minutes is not considered long. Making instant noodles, brushing teeth, taking out the trash, shaving...anything else will take about this much time.

But in the game world, in a super-fast battle, five minutes...is enough for two players to fight a hundred times.

"Ah - it's getting more and more infuriating." At this time, Oda Ai's face was already clearly angry, "Are you really an indestructible cockroach!"

"Humph..." Tianma Xingkong's legs trembled, supporting his body and barely standing, confronting the other party, "I'm the only one left in our team, I carry all the expectations of my teammates... How can I fall down easily!"

"Hey hey... Where did you see 'easy'?" Takeda Zhi couldn't help but complain after hearing what Xiao Ma said, "No matter from which angle you look at it, you should have fallen down a long time ago, right?"

"Indeed... I kind of want to cheer for him. ≧," Uesugi Jin said seriously.

"Oh?" Hearing the black-haired man beside him say this, Mingzhixin couldn't help but smile, "So you like this type?"

"No." Uesugi Jin's expression changed slightly, and he replied honestly, "I just think serious people are worth encouraging." She paused for half a second and continued, "Although... he is a fool."

"Yeah..." Takeda Zhi and Mingzhixin shook their heads and said in unison, "What a fool..."

"Ah——" After a few seconds, Tianma Xingkong let out another long roar, and his fighting spirit rose.

At this point in the battle, although Xiao Ma Ge was already covered with scars, even the holy clothes on his body were beaten to pieces. But... there was no fear or fatigue in his eyes, and there was only high fighting spirit and passion in his eyes.

"Huh... I'm so angry..." On the other hand, Oda Ai's breathing became heavy, and the hand holding the samurai sword began to tremble slightly. "I have already said the line 'I will defeat him alone', but I can't end the battle... It's too ugly."

At the moment, Oda Ai, who has the upper hand, has become the anxious party. Tianma Xingkong's incredible bravery and determination are something she has never seen in any duel. In fact, before today, she thought that people like Xiao Ma Ge did not exist in the real world. In comics, there are a lot of them...

"It's decided!" Suddenly, Oda Ai shouted loudly, and the posture of holding the knife also changed. "You dare to make me lose my composure... Watch me kill you with the most gorgeous move!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience watching the live broadcast were all excited. However... Oda Ai's three teammates all changed their expressions.

"Ai, don't be impulsive." Akechi Nobu shouted in the back, "That move should be kept for use against..."

"Captain!" Oda Ai interrupted the other party and turned her head slightly, letting her teammates see the ferocious look on half of her face. "Please stop talking..."

The next second, her teammates fell silent.

When they saw Oda Ai's expression, they had given up the idea of ​​persuading her. They would rather let Oda Ai use "that skill" willfully than risk her "runaway" and further anger her.

"Hmph!" Tianma Xingkong saw the other party's reaction. He also shouted and responded, "If you have the ability, just attack!" After that, he stretched out his body. He started another fist move, "Tianma Meteor Fist!"

Although Tianma Xingkong only has one move, his actual combat skills are by no means as simple as they look.

Maybe many people have forgotten. At the beginning of S1, Xiao Ma Ge was already ranked 20th in the player combat power rankings. Moreover, he was not a special guest player. He made it to the finals from the preliminaries with his own strength. If Xiao Ma Ge was really just a guy who "cast meteor punches without thinking", he would have been eliminated long ago...

Put your mind in his shoes... A player who only used one active skill from beginning to end, but could compete with those high-level players without losing, even if he could not be called a "genius", at least he was a "weird genius".

This kind of miraculous feat... could not be done without extraordinary combat intuition and combat IQ.

At the moment, Tianma Xingkong saw through a flaw before the opponent used his trump card, and decisively launched another round of attacks.

If someone else used this skill [Tianma Meteor Punch], it would be almost the same every time it was used. But Tianma Xingkong's Meteor Punch... every round, every punch, can be controlled at a micro level.

Take this move for example... 80% of the fist screen only adds the basic damage of the skill itself, but there is still 20% of the fist light with extremely strong fighting spirit, and these 20% of the fist light... under the cover of a large number of fist screens, all flew to the various flaws in Oda Ai's posture.

"Damn..." Oda Ai was hit hard when she was preparing a move. She knew that her survival value was dropping sharply without looking, "I underestimated him..." At this moment, in addition to anger, she also added a sense of admiration in her heart, "He can use simple things to the extreme... It seems that he is more than just a fool..."

This respect quickly restored some clarity in her mind and stabilized her slightly trembling posture.

Originally, Oda Ai might not have been able to release the skill smoothly, but after regaining her composure... she successfully withstood the attack of the Meteor Fist and launched a killing move!

[Name: Ichidori. Iai. Shishigege]

[Skill card attribute: active skill, disappears after one use]

[Skill category: Fighting]

[Effect: Draw the sword and cut the enemy (can only be activated when using a long sword or long sword in the sheath)]

[Consumption: 40% of the upper limit of physical value]

[Learning conditions: Level 45, Fighting Specialization A]

[Note: Iai is a magical skill that can only be comprehended by swordsmen with extremely high comprehension. The move is as fast as lightning, difficult to see, and can cut iron like mud. It will kill with one blow. ]

But see...

The figures crossed each other, and the sword light flashed.

Everything happened in just a moment.

The victory or defeat has also been decided here.

Puff——

Tianma Xingkong fell down, and before his blood spread, he had already turned into white light and disappeared.

"Did I... win..." Oda Ai muttered in a trance.

Two seconds later. She seemed to have noticed something, looked down at her left chest, and saw a bloody hole...

"Heh... I see..." Oda Ai laughed bitterly, "You changed your punch the moment I chopped you down, and used my forward force to hit me back..." She shook her head, "You are such an idiot that makes people speechless..."

As she said this, she also fell down and turned into white light...

…………

Looking at another script...

The match between [Red Cherry Team 1] and [Order Team 2] is still going on.

At this time, the Order Team 1 and the Ice Emperor have already decided the winner. The result is the same as Feng Bujue predicted... Order Team 1 finally won. And the Hell Front and Warring States Team 1 also won, so... the battle in front of us became the last focus battle that has not yet ended this morning.

Look, on a giant peak made of solid ice, a melee between six people is unfolding.

[Fearless Brave] holds a spear and joins forces with [Invincible Brave] wearing boxing gloves to attack [Xu Huaishang].

Although he is fighting two enemies at once, Xu Huaishang has two swords in his hands and moves gracefully. He is fighting without losing.

On the other side, Hongying's [Blood Rose] steps on a giant eagle and chases [Ye Zhi] of Order in the air. The latter is fighting and retreating, defending and avoiding. There is almost no room for counterattack.

Fortunately, there is a "sixth person" to cover her...

To be precise, it is not a "person", but a long-haired snowman. This NPC is naturally the "momentum" that Ye Zhi obtained in the script. It is equivalent to a free summoned creature with unlimited time.

In the previous script, this long-haired snowman has brought a considerable advantage to the second team of Order. The reason they can now fight three to two is because the snowman played a role of a surprise soldier in the initial encounter.

However... Hongying, with only two people left, is not at a disadvantage.

Although Hongying's side has one more death than the opponent, the two killed are both support players. Xu Huaishang and Xue Qiangwei, who have strong single-soldier combat capabilities, survived unscathed. Moreover, the Hongying team also borrowed "momentum", but this "momentum" is not a summoned creature, but a buff-like, invisible resource.

On the other hand, although the Order Team 2 still has three players and a long-haired snowman, the one who was killed... happens to be the main force of the team, and is [Barcode], who is known as the strongest shooting player in the entire Order Studio.

If it were in previous years, a master like [Barcode] could have been selected for the first team, but this year the lineup of the Order Team 1 is too gorgeous, and even one of the four people, Zui Sheng Meng Si, has to be a substitute, so Barcode can only retreat to the second team.

In terms of strength, he was also a man who made it to the top 50 in the S1 period. Of course... he was turned into a corpse by Rutt before he had a chance to show his abilities in the finals. But in any case, compared to the other three people in the team, Barcode's level is undoubtedly top-notch.

Unfortunately... his current experience is the same as in S1. He was killed before he even appeared on the stage, without even a line of dialogue. It can be said that he was treated like Yin Tianchou.

In addition, we have to talk about the long-haired snowman... The intelligence of this NPC is very low, even lower than that of summoned creatures. Because low-intelligence summoned creatures... such as dogs, bats, wolves, turkeys... these things can at least be controlled by the will or instructions of the summoner himself, but this snowman can't...

This long-haired snowman does not have the communication ability of higher creatures at all, and does not obey someone's orders. Since it was discovered by Ye Zhi, its mode of action is probably "follow and protect Ye Zhi", and it doesn't care about anything else.

So, the scene mentioned above appeared...

Even though they had the advantage in numbers, without the support of the shooting players, the Order Team 2 could not effectively put pressure on Xu Huaishang and Xue Qiangwei.

Under the premise of similar specialization, Xu Huaishang, a top player, would not have a big problem against two first-rate players.

And Xue Qiangwei was very smart to keep a close eye on the enemy's medical specialists. On the one hand, this prevented Ye Zhi from supporting the team members, and on the other hand, it also restrained the long-haired snowman in disguise. Anyway, this monster only had high attack and high blood, and basically had no anti-air ability and IQ, so you can walk around as you want.

"Invincible, don't worry." When the battle entered a tug-of-war, the Brave Fearless said to his teammates while fighting, "Keep steady, don't show any flaws."

The Brave Invincible completely understood what his teammates meant, and he also responded while fighting: "Don't worry, I understand."

"Hmph... You want to consume my physical strength, right..." Xu Huaishang also calmly joined the conversation between the two while refuting the moves.

"Yes, that's what I planned." The Brave Fearless admitted frankly. Since he dared to say it in front of the opponent, it means that there is nothing to hide about this tactic, and he has no spare energy to hide it...

"Even if you can achieve a balance in a one-on-two situation, this balance cannot be maintained forever." The Brave Invincible took over the words of his teammates and said to Xu Huaishang, "There are two of us, and there are always moments of alternating and resting in the battle; we are also more relaxed in terms of skill selection and fault tolerance." He paused, "But you... can't relax for a moment slack off. "

The brave man waved his gun and shot, and then continued: "To put it simply... in this battle, your physical energy will inevitably be consumed faster than ours. Maintaining the status quo is definitely beneficial to us. "

"Heh..." The brave man laughed, "Captain Xu, if I were you, I would abandon defense now and attack with all my strength, maybe I could replace one person." As he said, he moved sideways a few steps and attacked three times, "Otherwise... when your physical energy reaches the bottom, you won't even have a chance to counterattack."

The two sang in unison, although there was a hint of luring the enemy, most of them were true.

It's just... these words were really harsh to the fans of Xu Huaishang who were watching the live broadcast.

"Despicable guy! You actually used a war of attrition!"

"If you have the ability, fight Shangshang alone! What kind of hero is two against one!"

"You should go first with the advantage in numbers! It's so hateful!"

Obviously, the above are all barrages or comments posted by brain-dead fans. It is understandable to use any tactics in the game. The players of Order will not choose tactics that are obviously disadvantageous to themselves just to satisfy the fans of the other side.

And this point... Xu Huaishang is also very clear.

"The two suggestions... are indeed good." After fighting for dozens of seconds, or thinking for dozens of seconds, Xu Huaishang actually replied, "Continuing to delay will only increase my chances of defeat."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two "brave men" changed, and they immediately tensed their nerves and prepared to face a round of strong attacks.

"Then..." Xu Huaishang did not let them wait too long, "... I won't be polite." (To be continued..)
