The crowd erupted into fervent applause. How could the Samsara fans not be excited seeing Wu Qi suddenly find a killing opportunity? They didnt look into the details too clearly. Just the outcome alone made them extremely pleased.

The pro players let out expressions of astonishment.

They had spectator views, allowing them to see everything that was happening in the match. Had Wu Qis Cruel Silence done anything exceptional?

No.

No one thought so.

They knew that he had been moving around on the battlefield, but their attention had been on Zhou Zekais Cloud Piercer, then Jiang Botaos Empty Waves, then Du Mings Moon Luring Frost.

Similar to how Qiao Yifan had dismissed him, the spectating pro players had as well.

Wu Qi wasnt a threat?

The answer to that question was no. The present situation was the best proof. Cruel Silence had gotten behind One Inch Ash, delivering back attack after back attack. He was in the perfect position to deal damage. If he wasnt a threat, then what was a threat?

Yet no one had noticed the threat.

An unremarkable Assassin was the perfect Assassin.

Was Wu Qi an unremarkable player? No one really thought so. A main roster player in a two-time championship team could never be disregarded. However, compared to the other stars in the roster, Zhou Zekai, Jiang Botao, Sun Xiang, Lu Boyuan, four All-Stars, Wu Qi paled in comparison even if his popularity wasnt bad.

He wasnt an unremarkable player, but when he was put into Samsaras roster, he became unremarkable.

It wasnt that he hadnt been a threat before, but rather that the pressure put on by the others on Samsara covered his threat.

He wasnt as proactive as the others, but he never went out of his way to hide his tracks. He found the perfect balance, making his Cruel Silence appear invisible in this intense battle.

Then, he made his move!

From the start, Happys healer hadnt really undertaken any actual healer work. Whatever health was lost on Happys side was lost forever. Qiao Yifans One Inch Ash had been focused by Zhou Zekai for a lengthy period of time. As a result, he had lost quite a bit of health. Now that Wu Qi had successfully closed in, mercilessly stabbing him in the back, his health instantly dropped below 50%.

Qiao Yifan recalled Wang Jiexis words. Wu Qi seemed to possess the rare talent his former senior had sought. He was certain that he hadnt ignored Wu Qi. He really had taken note of his Cruel Silence, but he hadnt noticed Cruel Silences threat. Or perhaps the threat hadnt caught his attention. He had felt like the others on Samsara had been a higher priority.

Was this the sort of Assassin player that Tiny Herb had hoped he would become?

Qiao Yifan didnt know the answer, but he didnt feel too regretful over it. He had fully transitioned into a Phantom Demon, and the class suited him perfectly. For him, Assassins were of the past. He hadnt given up on the things that he had learned as an Assassin, but that didnt mean he had any intentions of going back.

Perhaps he really had missed an opportunity at Tiny Herb, but he didnt feel upset over the past. It only made him treasure the present even more.

It hadnt been easy getting to where he was now, and he was very happy with what he had. He needed to do everything he could to protect all of this.

One Inch Ash rolled and jumped.

Turn, stop, sprint

Qiao Yifan did everything he could to escape, but Wu Qi was like a maggot feeding on a corpse, refusing to let him go.

Tang Rou was closest to Qiao Yifan.

She had just forced away Sun Xiang and Du Ming to create an opening for Qiao Yifan, but in the blink of an eye, the situation flipped. She was now being suppressed by the two on Samsara. She wanted to help One Inch Ash, but for now, she wouldnt be able to.

Switch!

Du Ming and Sun Xiang switched positions. Sun Xiang wanted Du Ming to deal with Tang Rou, while his One Autumn Leaf turned to pincer One Inch Ash so that they could kill him sooner.

Tang Rou was already gloomy being suppressed by the two on Samsara, how could she let them do as they pleased so easily?

Downwind Sword Slash, ignore!

Her Dancing Fire Flowing Flame swung towards One Autumn Leaf. Soft Mist took Moon Luring Frosts blow, but she wasnt going to let One Autumn Leaf get past her.

One Autumn Leaf was forced back. However, Soft Mist stumbled and fell from the Downwind Sword Slash. Du Ming clearly hadnt expected Tang Rou to ignore his attack, so his follow-up came a bit slow.

Tang Rou let the follow-up hit her, allowing the attack to push her towards One Inch Ash.

I dont think so!

For Samsara, letting Wu Qi fight against Qiao Yifan 1v1 was fine. Wu Qi had the upper hand. Going over to help him wasnt necessary. Stopping Happy from rescuing Qiao Yifan was a much higher priority.

Hundred Dragon Meteor Strike!

One Autumn Leaf dashed forward. His Evil Annihilation moved like a blur, the angle of attack cutting off Soft Mists path.

Boom boom boom!

Cannonfire sounded. The long-ranged support from Su Muchengs Dancing Rain had arrived. However, there were simply too many places that needed her help. Qiao Yifan was in a dire situation, and because Tang Rou was in a hurry to rescue Qiao Yifan, their formation was thrown into disarray.

This was what the phrase pull one hair and the whole body moves meant. In the team competition, a single player falling into a passive position could cause the whole team to fall into a passive position. Keeping the balance steady during these situations required experience. Tang Rou was clearly lacking in this area. Her reaction to the change in situation had been poor. She panicked and tried to force her way through, immediately putting herself into a bad position.

Su Muchengs support clearly showed her richer experience.

She didnt focus on the center of the issue, on One Inch Ashs side. Instead, she focused on helping Tang Rou.

If she could help Tang Rou find an opening, Tang Rou would naturally be able to rescue Qiao Yifan. Moreover, while Sun Xiang and Du Ming blocked Tang Rou, they formed a clear defensive line. Not just Tang Rou, but if Ye Xiu and Steamed Bun wanted to rescue Qiao Yifan, they would need to break past this defensive line. Su Mucheng had chosen to focus this area because it would be valuable to everyone on the team.

She hadnt completely ignored Qiao Yifans predicament either. While she focused supporting Soft Mist, she snuck in attacks at Cruel Silence to try disrupt Wu Qis rhythm and create an opening for Qiao Yifan.

Explosions erupted continuously, but even though Launcher attacks were fierce, their crowd control was lacking. Tough and unyielding werent traits unique to Tang Rou. Samsaras Du Ming showed that he could be unyielding as well.

Formless Phantom Blade!

Du Mings Moon Luring Frost released the Level 70 Blade Master skill. Intersecting sword light intercepted the roaring artillery fire.
