In the face of such a wonderful game, the cheers and praises of the audience were not stingy at all. Many people were still immersed in the thrilling game scenes, giving Xiao Li unprecedented enthusiasm.
A normal rookie player would feel a bit embarrassed, but Xiao Li was obviously enjoying the public’s attention so much that he didn’t even notice there was another person standing behind him.
Until a hand unceremoniously grabbed him by the collar and yanked him off the stage. He staggered a few steps, turned his head, and seeing Liu Zeshen, his face went dark: “Let go!”
Liu Zeshen’s steps paused and he looked at him with a smirk, but with no intention of letting go, “If I were you, I’d choose to be calmer.”
Intentional or not, he gave him a meaningful glance. Xiao Li was subconsciously affected by his behavior, and when he saw Li Bochuan’s obviously gloomy face, his heart skipped a beat, and he let himself be dragged back to the players’ bench in silence.
Li Bochuan cast an impassive glance at the two people who had returned and finally said faintly, “Good fight.”
“Ah, it’s all right.” Xiao Li thought he was going to get lectured, but suddenly heard such a compliment and inevitably felt a little flattered. But before he could say anything more, Li Bochuan had already interrupted him: “Rest quietly.”
“…” Xiao Li could only sit aside silently. It should be said that the word “quietly” used by the head coach has a profound meaning!
Meanwhile, the next contestant stood up silently.
Chen Anqi.
As for the Blitzkrieg team, the one who stood up was Du Yongning. The character he played was called “No Peaceful Day,” and he was also an assassin professional player.
When this match-up was displayed, it caused quite a stir in the audience. It was a duel between the same profession of assassins!
The two players entered the battle room, and both their characters were loaded.
Compared to the hand-to-hand close combat in the previous round, the contestants in this round were obviously much more cautious due to their characters’ professions, and the most abnormal of them was undoubtedly Du Yongning.
Although Yongning Du’s name seemed very serene, he actually liked to talk a lot during matches, often saying irrelevant things to distract his opponents, just like his character’s name, “No Peaceful Day,” which meant that he couldn’t be quiet for a moment. But now, nearly three minutes had passed, and the map channel was still clean, with no words bubbling up.
The commentator Mao Dou soon discovered this abnormal phenomenon and remarked: “In this game, Du Yongning seems very quiet…”
Xiao Wu couldn’t help but laugh: “Looking at who his opponent is, even Du Yongning probably does not dare to say too many words and make her angry.”
After this little prodding, Mao Dou suddenly understood and patted his own head, laughing: “Looks like, regardless of the outcome of this game, Team Blitzkrieg is destined to end up very frustrated!”
Although Du Yongning couldn’t hear the commentators’ gloating, he was indeed very depressed at this moment. After all, the feeling of having his habit forcibly snuffed out was just – so unpleasant! But what could be done? Why did he have to face this jinx, Chen Anqi? It’s not like his chances of winning were too great, so why would he do something to provoke her into cursing him more?!
Better to get it over with before anything weird happens! Thinking like this, Du Yongning moved No Peaceful Day forward, finding the right time to connect several small skills and trying to take the lead. Just when Strange Cat turned around and was about to get closer, he leaped to distance himself and disappeared into the cave nearby.
Chen Anqi obviously had no intention of pursuing him. Instead, her character started moving in the opposite direction.
The key to the assassin‘s profession lay in its stealthy mobility and explosive power to kill in a single blow. This was a hundred percent the assassin profession. Obviously, in a duel between two assassins, the outcome depended on who could complete a perfect assassination operation.
Of course, the two master assassins knew this very well in their hearts. Therefore, Du Yongning actively searched for the location of Strange Cat, moving very cautiously and keeping an eye on the surrounding movements so as not to accidentally fall into the opponent’s sniper range.
In contrast, Chen Anqi seemed to be in no hurry, marching leisurely. Her dark eyes stared at the screen for a moment as she murmured to herself: “It’s fun when the prey comes running into the muzzle of your gun…”
On the other side of the fighting table, Du Yongning felt an inexplicable chill down his spine and shivered subconsciously but immediately focused on the game again.
He did not notice anything unusual, but viewers watching from the global point of view could clearly see Strange Cat‘s position.
Although Chen Anqi chose the completely opposite direction, Du Yongning’s No Peaceful Day somehow managed to complete a perfect follow-up operation. To the audience, this process might seem completely weird, as if No Peaceful Day deliberately followed Strange Cat.
Aside from the unsuspecting Du Yongning, everyone’s hearts were in their throats, waiting to see Strange Cat‘s preemptive close-up attack.
However, nothing happened.
Strange Cat seemed to detour around the back just to watch how No Peaceful Day moved around, so she followed quietly without taking action.
The entire audience seemed to have frozen and stared in silence at the every move of the two people. But no one knew what Chen Anqi was thinking. Everyone was almost out of breath, but she was still trailing along in that nonchalant manner.
“This…” At the commentary table, Mao Dou no longer knew what words to use to express his current mood. In fact, at this point, he really put his hope on the referee to give some reminders or warnings to push the pace of the game. But now, both contestants were clearly moving very alertly. Could it be said they were playing passively? It made no sense at all!
“Say, what is Chen Anqi waiting for?” Compared to the obviously tense atmosphere of the Blitzkrieg team, the Black Rose team was obviously much more relaxed. Lin Xiao took advantage when no one was paying attention and discreetly nudged Shen Changyu, who was focusing on the game, with his elbow. He lowered his voice and asked with a smile.
“She’s waiting for an opportunity.” Shen Changyu replied seriously without noticing his odd expression.
“Oh? What opportunity?” Lin Xiao insisted.
“A chance to kill in one blow.” Shen Changyu replied after a brief hesitation.
“To assassinate a professional player in one fell swoop in the official playoffs, she shows a big appetite!” Lin Xiao laughed.
“Chen Anqi can do it.” Shen Changyu didn’t hesitate this time.
“Oh, that’s true…” Lin Xiao said.
Shen Changyu finally noticed something was wrong with Lin Xiao’s voice. When he turned around, he saw the meaningful and playful smile, and choked up: “What’s with this look?”
Lin Xiao patted his shoulder heavily with an understanding expression and said with sincerity: “Although it is a good thing to open up, but the words of this lady … you may have to work hard in the future. Work hard, work hard!”
Why do I feel so weird no matter what I answer? Shen Changyu turned his head and did not answer his words.
However, while the two of them were still in the mood to chat leisurely, the audience in the stadium felt that they were going crazy. After all, the excitement of the previous game was still reflected in their minds. The passion was waiting to be released, but it just piled up inside like this and could not be released at all. It was so frustrating!
At this moment, the commentator Xiao Wu’s joyful voice shook everyone’s hearts: “Du Yongning seems to have noticed something strange. Is he going to take any measures?”
Guided by her words, the audience’s attention focused, and they discovered that No Peaceful Day really began to change the way he moved.
By now, he had almost crossed the entire map but still found no trace of Strange Cat. It was obvious that he had already made some calculations in his mind. At this time, he became more cautious in paying attention to his surroundings. It could almost be said that he had identified the opponent sweeping across nearby.
Chen Anqi, on the other hand, had fully demonstrated her level of operation as a top assassin. As if she had foreseen that the other party would act this way, while No Peaceful Day was reversing his course, she had already retreated to a certain safe distance without any hesitation.
Such a move looked like abandoning all the previous tracking actions, but no one in the audience could laugh. On the contrary, the whole atmosphere was much more tense than before.
Unlike Du Yongning who was in the field, spectators could clearly see that when Chen Anqi retreated, she had already laid several secret traps in the field.
The unfolding of all this gave place to the idea that all her previous tracking was just a deliberate preparation for Du Yongning to discover that she was following him.
So, will No Peaceful Day really fall into those traps scattered around?
Just as this question flashed through everyone’s mind, a very clear “click” spread to every corner of the venue. As the director switched the image to Du Yongning’s perspective, he happened to capture the moment when No Peaceful Day stepped into the trap.
“Du Yongning is really unlucky…” The commentator Mao Dou blurted out when he saw the nature of the trap, but he quickly shut his mouth.
Luck? Probably no player who played against Chen Anqi had ever heard this word…
So, the outcome was decided!
When he saw the debuff effect on his body, Du Yongning’s expression changed, and he felt extremely uneasy from the bottom of his heart. However, it was too late to retreat now.
Strange Cat appeared near him in a flash, like a ghost.
Takedown from behind technique!
Strange Cat instantly appeared behind No Peaceful Day while casting a short-term restraint effect that made him lose any chance of escape.
What followed was a series of blood-splattered roundhouse slashes. However, Chen Anqi chose not to complete the entire cast of the skill. Instead, after several consecutive slashes, she directly activated her Will-Of-Kill Awareness technique, instantly increasing her critical hit rate and critical hit damage.
This was the intent to win in one wave!
In everyone’s amazement, Strange Cat did not hesitate and rushed straight toward No Peaceful Day, using her ultimate move to kill with one hit!
Without being completely sure, few assassins will choose to use the ultimate one-hit kill move in individual competitions. After all, this move injured the enemy a thousand times and damaged oneself eight hundred times. If they fail to kill the opponent in one fell swoop, the assassin with only a sliver of blood left, could be finished off by his opponent at any time.
So, will it succeed?!
While everyone was holding their breath, Du Yongning’s hands were off the table already. There was no need to bet on the damage of this blow. As an assassin operator, he already knew, based on the opponent’s equipment combination, that the damage from one set was enough to take him away in one wave.
It was the ultimate attack flow… no defensive or cd-reducing attributes, or even the crit damage attribute. It completely relied on the Will-Of-Kill Awareness‘ few seconds to increase the damage. The whole game bet on such an instant.
I have to say that such a move is really crazy.
But, she succeeded.
Thinking about it, you really don’t want to be this woman’s enemy.
Du Yongning laughed, recalling his mediocrity throughout the game. Then he sighed and looked up again. As expected, the image on the computer screen had gone completely gray.
With the defeat of No Peaceful Day, the Black Rose team won the second game.
Du Yongning calmed down his complicated feelings and left the battle room. When he looked up, he saw the score statistics displayed on the big screen.
Black Rose vs. Blitzkrieg, 2:0 lead.
