Chapter 339 - Each Side With Their Own Shortcomings (1/2)

If this type of surprise attack agitated their team, then Team Two wouldn’t deserve to be called all stars. Huan Shaotian’s Falling Light Blade had been sudden, but Team Two didn’t react slowly. Tiny Herb Vice Captain Deng Fusheng’s Knight Angelica stepped out on his own and raised his s.h.i.+eld to take the blow: s.h.i.+eld Counter.

s.h.i.+eld Counter’s effects were determined by the skill that was used against it. When a direct attack was s.h.i.+eld Countered, the damage from the attack and its effects would be reflected back onto the attacker according to a certain percentage. It could be considered quite an abnormal defensive skill.

Even though Falling Light Blade fell from the sky, against the s.h.i.+eld, it had no way of continuing down. The reflect from the s.h.i.+eld would give rise to a knock up effect. How could the experienced Huang Shaotian not know this? He immediately dispelled his skill and switched to a Falling Phoenix Slash, sweeping past the lone defender.

Huang Shaotian being able to use so many movements in such a short amount of time wasn’t something an ordinary Glory fan could do. The crowd had already erupted into cheers.

Deng Fusheng had no way of using s.h.i.+eld Counter to receive Falling Phoenix Slash. If he changed directions and his position, allowing him to use another skill, he could try again. However, s.h.i.+eld Counter was on cooldown right now. How could he use it again? However, he wasn’t the only player on Team Two. w.a.n.g Jiexi’s Vaccaria, dressed in a black magic robe and a large wizard cap, hopped to the side. He waved his arms and a Shadow Cloak headed towards Troubling Rain.

Dark Mantle was a Grab skill and had high priority. At this moment, w.a.n.g Jiexi choosing use it against Troubling Rain’s Falling Phoenix Slash meant that he had the utmost confidence he would be able to block it.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out. Zhou Zekai’s Cloud Piercer had rushed out, firing rapidly towards them. Amidst the high speed exchange, his gun aimed towards w.a.n.g Jiexi’s Vaccaria. If w.a.n.g Jiexi persisted in using Dark Mantle, then he would certainly be hit by Zhou Zekai’s firing.

w.a.n.g Jiexi immediately decided to cancel his Dark Mantle and leaped backwards. Deng Fusheng’s Angelica perfectly switched positions with him.

Angelica’s s.h.i.+eld blocked Zhou Zekai’s firing. Huang Shaotian’s Falling Phoenix Slash didn’t receive any hindrances, but his target had already moved away, causing him to miss.

Li Xuan and Wu Yuce didn’t idle around either. They cast an Ice Boundary and Flame Boundary. Ice and fire overlapped headed towards Troubling Rain.

No matter how good Huang Shaotian was, he had no way to run from this encirclement.

Team Void relied mainly on Ghostblades. Li Xuan’s Sobbing Ghost was also considered the number one Phantom Demon. Wu Yuce’s Carved Ghost was also a top-tier Ghostblade. In setting up an Ice and Fire Boundary, who could do it better than these two?

Sobbing Ghost’s Silver Tachi, Four Heavenly Dances, buffed Ice, Fire, and Dark attribute skills. The Boundary set up by his Ghostblade would certainly be stronger than a normal one.

Even for Huang Shaotian’s Troubling Rain, being surrounded by these two Ghostblade Boundaries immediately made the situation difficult for him. If it had just been a Flame Boundary, then with Huang Shaotian’s exceptional mechanics, dodging those fire ghosts wouldn’t have posed a problem. However, with an Ice Boundary on top of it, he didn’t immediately get turned into ice, however his movement speed had slowed down. With this movement debuff, how could he dodge these fire ghosts? A mob of ghosts instantly leaped onto Troubling Rain’s body, enveloping him in a purple fire.

With Troubling Rain trapped, Team Two prepared to surround him. Suddenly, a bang reverberated through the air and several ice walls erupted from the ground, putting up a wall protecting Troubling Rain. Chu Yunxiu’s Elementalist Windy Rain had come out.

“Retreat!” Zhang Xinjie immediately shouted. But these experienced all stars didn’t need his reminder and had already scattered. Sure enough, Windy Rain waved her hands forming a magic symbol. “Bang!” The ice walls shattered and ice shards shot wildly into the surroundings. But Team Two had backed away in time. The damage from one or two ice shards. .h.i.tting could be ignored.

Amidst the rain of ice, Huang Shaotian’s Troubling Rain rushed forward with a Triple Slash. His speed was even faster than those ice shards and in an instant, he had closed in on Sobbing Ghost.

Sobbing Ghost might be a powerful Phantom Demon, but the “Sword Saint” Troubling Rain wasn’t an ordinary Blade Master. Troubling Rain moved like a shooting star and arrived in front of Sobbing Ghost in the blink of an eye. Troubling Rain clearly had movement speed increases on his equipment.

He initiated with an Upwards Slash and this time, no one could save Sobbing Ghost as he was launched into the air. Li Xuan immediately adjusted himself in order to break the knock up, when a cannon shot fired from far away. Su Mucheng’s Dancing Rain had sent over an artillery sh.e.l.l.

Team Two’s players were quite helpless against Su Mucheng’s attacks.

Their team composition consisted of a Witch, a Knight, two Ghostblades, and a Cleric. They didn’t have anyone that could match a Launcher’s range. In terms of pure DPS, their Team Two had no way of competing against Team One. They required teamwork using different strategies to outlast the other team. There was nothing they could do about the long ranged attacks, but their team wouldn’t fall into disarray just because of that.
