Chapter 326 – China VS South Korea (Five Person Team Battle)
Kim Yoonhee was killed and the Chinese team had the temporary lead with a 2:1 advantage. This didn"t mean that the Chinese team had a huge advantage because Tan s.h.i.tian and Xiao Han were currently at half blood and the South Korean trio were still full of blood.
Qin Mo had resurrected and Tan s.h.i.tian ordered, "Gather at the blue resurrection point."
Cheng Wei and Zhuo Hang were closer to the blue resurrection point. Upon hearing the orders, they immediately rushed to meet up with Qin Mo. Tan s.h.i.tian and Xiao Han also wanted to meet their teammates but the moment they moved around a reef, they suddenly encountered the interception of the South Korean team!
The moment that Kim Yoonhee was attacked, Park Joonseo rushed over to support his teammate. He might"ve failed to save Kim Yoonhee but he successfully stopped Tan s.h.i.tian and Xiao Han.
Park Joonseo decisively summoned the ice woman and used Soul of Ice!
The pet made of ice crystals was the strongest control pet of the angel summoner. The group of ice souls froze, leaving Tan s.h.i.tian and Xiao Han frozen in place.
The white magician Hwa Jeongyong instantly followed her captain"s rhythm. She used Tidal Surge to attack the two people while Shim Yoocheol rushed over and used Light and Shadow Rotation. The swordsman"s gorgeous big move was exquisite and did high damage, emptying Tan s.h.i.tian and Xiao Han"s blood!
Shim Yoocheol took the double kill, the number of heads on the big screen became 2:3 and the South Korean team took the lead.
The audience nervously held their breaths when they saw this scene.
Kou Hongyi couldn"t help saying, "Today"s death racing is very fierce. Four small-scale fights broke out in the first round and the number of heads is matching each other.
In previous death racing games, the Chinese team generally crushed the opponents with a score of 8:2 or 7:3. Today they encountered the strong South Korean team and everyone had to try their best to fight for heads.
***
He might"ve been killed but Tan s.h.i.tian"s expression didn"t change much. He looked at the coordinates on the mini-map and said calmly, "Wait for Xiao Han and I to resurrect.
Five seconds later, Tan s.h.i.tian and Xiao Han were resurrected at the blue point and met their other three teammates.
The brother and sister Kim Yoonhee and Kim Changmin also resurrected. The South Korean team had obviously gone to the red resurrection point to recover. The next thing would be a large-scale team battle between both sides.
In a 5v5 frontal battle, they would win five heads if they wiped out the opponents. There was also a situation where people would kill each other while others survived. Every head in death racing was extremely precious so they had to be extra cautious in this wave of combat.
Tan s.h.i.tian thought for a moment and marked a coordinate on the mini-map.
His teammates knew what he meant and quickly moved towards the location.
This lineup didn"t have any front row cla.s.ses to resist pressure but Qin Mo and Xiao Han"s stealth skills had already refreshed. The two invisible players walked in front to investigate the enemy"s movements while the other three remained a certain distance behind them.
Qin Mo and Xiao Han went to investigate and Qin Mo soon found the other side"s whereabouts. He quickly typed: [There are four Korean players here. I can"t see the a.s.sa.s.sin so he is probably in stealth!]
Tan s.h.i.tian ordered, "Go around behind them!"
Based on their previous experience, Qin Mo and Xiao Han stepped a few steps away from Park Joonseo, out of the range of his light G.o.d. Then everyone followed Tan s.h.i.tian to the rear of the reef. Cheng Wei saw the backs of the opponents and instantly cast the white magic spell, Holy Seal!
The group control sealed the four Korean players in place.
Tan s.h.i.tian followed with the big move, Death Arrow Rain!
The dense arrows are fired towards the other side and the blood of the four players fell to 75%.
Qin Mo wasn"t far behind as he summoned the vampire bats to use Blood Bat Festival. Xiao Han also triggered the group attack Chain Strangulation while Zhuo Hang placed a large number of traps on the ground and exploded them.
The Chinese players suddenly attacked from behind and the South Korean team was caught off guard. Everyone used their big moves and the South Korean team"s blood fell to below 30%.
However, Park Joonseo reacted very quickly. He first resolved the sealing state on his body using the angel Purification cla.s.s skill. Then he summoned the angel pet, six-winged angel!
The beautiful angel gently flicked her white wings and formed a soft white halo around the Korean team. The six-winged angel provided a protective barrier to allies. All teammates in the barrier were immune to all damage and control for five seconds.
After all his teammates were protected, Park Joonseo followed with the snow bird. The snow bird hovered over their heads and continuously restored blood.
The four people with residual blood had their blood filled up by him…
Then Park Joonseo called the light G.o.d and used Light G.o.d"s Blessing so the fighting power of his teammates greatly improved.
The watching Li Cangyu couldn"t help commenting, "Park Joonseo"s reaction speed is really fast. It seems that in order to deal with Park Joonseo, we must find a way to kill him quickly. If we can"t kill him in seconds, it will be difficult to fight because he always has the means to restore his teammates" blood."
Ling Xuefeng nodded in agreement. "There is no doubt that he deserves to be the best aid."
Li Cangyu looked over at Bai Xuan. "How is his healing level?"
Bai Xuan replied, "The angel summoner only has the snow bird as a healer. The healing amounts aren"t as stable as a healer and will stop if the snow bird is killed. However, the six-winged angel"s protection barrier is tricky."
The South Korean team had a protective barrier and rushed over like tigers.
Shim Yoocheol started with Light and Shadow Rotation, Hwa Jeongyong cast white magic in the distance while Kim Yoonhee also used Death Arrow Rain!
There were only three outputs but Park Joonseo"s pet had greatly improved their output. The wave of counterattacks by the Korean team turned the Chinese team to a residual blood state.
The missing South Korean a.s.sa.s.sin Kim Changmin also came around the side. He lurked behind Cheng Wei and used Pain Blade!
Cheng Wei was interrupted as he was reading a spell. The moment he was stunned by the a.s.sa.s.sin"s control skill, he reacted quickly with Purification and jumped to hide behind a reef. However, Kim Changmin obviously wouldn"t let him go and chased him.
Tan s.h.i.tian naturally wouldn"t watch Cheng Wei being beaten and fired Quenching Arrow to freeze Kim Changmin.
The 5v5 team battle was particularly fierce as the two sides exchanged skills. Dark Reef was illuminated by the light effects of various skills.
Fortunately, Park Joonseo"s barrier and output enhancement effect finally ended. The Chinese team struggled to resist this wave of outbreak and had low blood. It was unlikely the other side would let them go.
Tan s.h.i.tian made a sensible decision. "Everyone spread out! Xiao Han, focus on interrupting Park Joonseo"s blood!"
The Tan Cheng combination worked together with deal with the a.s.sa.s.sin interfering in the back row. They were worthy of being old partners for many years and cooperated with each other to quickly kill the a.s.sa.s.sin.
The ratio of heads became 3:3.
Tan s.h.i.tian looked around and saw that Xiao Han, Zhuo Hang and Qin Mo only had a trace of blood left.
Shim Yoocheol was worthy of being a world-cla.s.s swordsman. He rushed into the Chinese team"s lineup to disrupt the rear formation. Zhuo Hang"s hand speed might be fast but it was difficult to control him with the traps.
Qin Mo and Xiao Han were forced to open Combat Stealth again.
Xiao Han quickly rushed forward and used an ordinary attack to interrupt Park Joonseo"s summoning of the ice woman. He followed up with Pain Blade while Qin Mo cooperated with Xiao Han to quickly kill Park Joonseo"s snow bird and light G.o.d!
The two teenagers attacked the captain of the South Korean team and for a time, they actually suppressed Park Joonseo so he couldn"t summon any pets!
This performance surprised Li Cangyu. "I didn"t think they would play so actively."
They were fearless when facing strong enemies. Li Cangyu was very pleased with the two apprentices" cooperation.
Ling Xuefeng also praised them. "They played well."
Tan s.h.i.tian seized the opportunity and ordered, "Kill Shim Yoocheol!"
Zhuo Hang immediately placed a Stop Trap to fix Shim Yoocheol in place while Tan s.h.i.tian and Cheng Wei broke out, dropping Shim Yoocheol in one breath!
The Chinese-Korean kill ration became 4:3.
Just then, Kim Yoonhee seized the opportunity to fire Seize Life Shot at Zhuo Hang!
Zhuo Hang"s blood was taken away in an instant and the heads ration became 4:4.
Kou Hongyi nervously formed fists. "Both sides are now in a state of residual blood! Captain Park Joonseo"s snow bird was killed and he can"t return blood to his teammates for a while. The Chinese team must take advantage of this opportunity to kill them as soon as possible. Otherwise, the pet cooldown will end and he will restore blood again."
Tan s.h.i.tian naturally understood this trust. He worked with Cheng Wei as their output reached the maximum and they threw all types of skills at the white magician standing in the distance, Hwa Jeongyong!

Chapter 327 – China VS South Korea (Heads Scramble)
Tan s.h.i.tian and Cheng Wei actually didn"t have much blood left at this time.
Just now, the wave of South Korean attacks caused the Chinese players to collectively fall to residual blood. However, the two players had a tacit understanding for many years. Despite being separated by a reef, they could accurately match each other to hit Hwa Jeongyong"s body
The South Korean team still had three people left. This number might be smaller than the Chinese team but they were in good shape with their blood above 70%. Park Joonseo was controlled by Xiao Han and Qin Mo and couldn"t summon pets for the time being. Kim Yoonhee made a quick decision, "Kill the a.s.sa.s.sin first!"
Xiao Han"s interruption of Park Joonseo was indeed troublesome and the blood kin a.s.sa.s.sin"s attacks could suck up blood. In the blink of an eye, the originally residual blood Xiao Han was restored to 35% blood. Kim Yoonhee decisively used Quenching Arrow to freeze Xiao Han.
Qin Mo summoned the blood spider and blood snake to quickly bit the three Korean players. All three of them had three layers of bleeding and then Qin Mo summoned the death knight. Kim Yoonhee fired Seize Life Shot at Xiao Han only to be blocked by Qin Mo"s death knight!
The domestic live broadcast room was instantly filled with: [Little Prince 6666!] [Qin Mo is literally 6!]
Xiao Han"s life was saved in a thrilling manner and he continued to hit Park Joonseo, using Death Strangulation!
The big move allowed his blood to be restored to 45% while Park Joonseo fell to 60%. Kim Yoonhee felt a bit anxious and fired two arrows to kill the blood kin summoner"s knight. She then accurately fired Barrage Shot to kill the blood Qin Mo!
The score became 5:4 with South Korea in the lead.
Xiao Han"s heart was touched after seeing that Qin Mo was killed. In today"s group battle, Qin Mo had helped him many times. Otherwise, he wouldn"t have lived to the present. Since QIn Mo sacrificed his life, Xiao Han wouldn"t let him down!
Xiao Han"s eyes became cold as he thought of this and he used Back Stab and Fatal Blow on Kim Yoonhee.
Park Joonseo was greatly affected by the a.s.sa.s.sin. In desperation, he had to summon the public pet, the guardian to offset the damage. Then he quickly retreated behind a reef and took the opportunity to summon the ice woman!
His snow bird, light G.o.d and six-winged angel had been killed by Qin Xiao and he only had the ice woman left.
After successfully summoning the pet, he had her used the big move, Soul of Ice!
Xiao Han was frozen in place and couldn"t move. Kim Yoonhee took the opportunity to decrease his blood.
However, the white magician Hwa Jeongyong wasn"t in a very good state. Under the siege of Tan Cheng, she only had a bit of blood left. It didn"t take look for Hwa Jeongyong to be killed by Tan s.h.i.tian"s Seize Life Shot.
At almost the same time, Xiao Han was killed by Kim Yoonhee and Park Joonseo.
The score became 6:5 with South Korea in the lead.
The Chinese team only had Tan s.h.i.tian and Cheng Wei while the South Korean team had Park Joonseo and Kim Yoonhee. Tan s.h.i.tian and Cheng Wei only had 15% blood left while Park Joonseo still had 60% blood. Fortunately, Xiao Han had released a last minute outbreak and forced Kim Yoonhee to residual blood.
In a situation where they weren"t dominant, Tan s.h.i.tian calmly thought about it and ordered, "Xiao Wei, cover me!"
"Yes!" Cheng Wei took the initiative to walk in front of Tan s.h.i.tian.
Kim Yoonhee"s Shock Shot had just hit Cheng Wei who stood in front of him. It was equivalent to Cheng Wei using his body to help Tan s.h.i.tian block the move.
Tan s.h.i.tian used the opportunity to use Quenching Arrow! Seize Life Shot!
From a G.o.d"s perspective, Tan s.h.i.tian"s angle of the shot was blocked by Cheng Wei. The surprising thing was that Cheng Wei suddenly moved to the left, allowing Tan s.h.i.tian"s arrows to just fly past his body!
Kim Yoonhee had her vision obstructed and couldn"t defend herself. She was frozen in place and then hit by Seize Life Shot. Her blood instantly fell to a precarious state!
Tan s.h.i.tian followed with Barrage Shot!
Just then, Park Joonseo"s ice woman suddenly used a big move, World of Ice and Snow.
In addition to the group control of Soul of Ice, the ice woman had the World of Ice and Snow group attack. This was the only attack skill of the angel summoner and consumed a lot of blue.
However, death racing was about speed and this skill was really critical.
The group attack directly killed the Tan Cheng pair!
At almost the same time, Kim Yoonhee was. .h.i.t by Tan s.h.i.tian"s arrow and died.
The heads on the big screen changed to 8:6!
The fierce frontal battle was finally over. All five Chinese players were killed while the South Korean team had the captain Park Joonseo survive. South Korea was ahead by one head at the start and now they led by two heads after this wave.
Kou Hongyi was nervous. "The Chinese players must find a way to play in the next wave or the South Korea team just needs to take two heads to win!"
Tan s.h.i.tian saw this and ordered, "Gather at the resurrection point!"
There was a benefit to all five people dying. They could quickly gather for a team battle while South Korea"s Park Joonseo wasn"t dead and had to walk back to meet up with his teammates.
Walking wasn"t as fast as resurrection and they had to grasp this time difference.
The time of resurrection after the second death was 10 seconds.
Tan s.h.i.tian and Cheng Wei waited for 10 seconds to pa.s.s and then quickly rushed to the red resurrection point with their teammates.
Due to familiarity with the map, Tan s.h.i.tian led the team through shortcuts and deliberately avoided the position of the previous group battle to avoid meeting Park Joonseo.
They quickly came to the red resurrection point and saw the four members of the Korean team.
"Set fire to the swordsman!" Tan s.h.i.tian unceremoniously aimed Quenching Arrow at Shim Yoocheol. Cheng Wei, Zhuo Hang, Qin Mo and Xiao Han closely followed. The South Korea team apparently hadn"t expected the Chinese team to come over so fast. They were waiting for their captain only to be hit by China!
The newly resurrected Shim Yoocheol was directly killed by the joint efforts of the five people!"
Shim Yoocheol, "…"
His luck was so bad. It must be because he didn"t eat cold noodles for breakfast this morning.
Still, it was enough to see how powerful China"s five outputs were.
Since the captain was absent, Kim Yoonhee immediately acted as commander. "Quickly kill the hunter! We will win if we take two heads!"
Her brother Kim Yoonhee lurked behind Zhuo Hang and used Pain Blade to control Zhuo Hang. Kim Yoonhee followed with Seize Life Shot and Hwa Jeongyong wasn"t far behind with G.o.d"s Light and Voice of Combat!
South Korea"s three outputs teaming up to kill Zhuo Hang was naturally slower than the time it took China"s five outputs.
By the time Zhuo Hang died, the three of them were beaten to half blood by Tan s.h.i.tian and the others.
Fortunately, the South Korean team already had nine heads. They just needed to kill one more person and they would directly gain victory.
Which one should they kill? She was hesitating when the captain"s low voice was heard in her ears. "Kill the white magician."
Kim Yoonhee exclaimed, "Understood!"
The Chinese side had harvested seven heads. They just needed to kill everyone here to win.
The situation reached the critical moment and Tan s.h.i.tian clenched his mouse. "Open your group attacks!"
It was obviously too late to kill them one by one. It was only by opening the big moves that they could quickly kill the three opponents. They immediately used group attacks according to his orders but the three South Korean players weren"t outdone. They threw their most explosive moves towards only one individual. In the blink of an eye, Cheng Wei fell to 15% blood!
Tan s.h.i.tian ordered, "Xiao Wei, quickly withdraw!"
Cheng Wei instantly turned to run. As the last head, he couldn"t let the Korean team get it for a cheap price!
The a.s.sa.s.sin saw him escape and didn"t hesitate to chase him!
Qin Mo and Xiao Han continued to attack and Kim Yoonhee and Hwa Jeongyong were hit to residual blood. Tan s.h.i.tian clenched his mouse and shook it slightly. His Barrage Shot was released and the group attack allowed him to take two kills in one breath!
The Chinese team got nine heads and it was time to finally decide the outcome.
However, at this critical moment, Cheng Wei had fled the resurrection point to the east and was unlucky enough to meet Park Joonseo, who came from the distance. The South Korean captain instantly made a mark on the map and blocked the narrow road so Cheng Wei couldn"t go forward. The a.s.sa.s.sin chasing Cheng Wei found him thanks to the captain"s mark.
—Fatal Blow!
The a.s.sa.s.sin"s most commonly used single attack skill was released and Cheng Wei fell helplessly.
The South Korean team took the lead in gaining 10 heads.
The word "Failure" popped up on the big screen. This was the first time the Chinese team had seen it in the World Compet.i.tion.
Cheng Wei hung his head and his expression looked like he was going to cry. Tan s.h.i.tian was very calm as he moved his hands away from the keyboard and patted Cheng Wei"s head. "This isn"t your fault. Our luck this time wasn"t very good."
Cheng Wei still wasn"t happy. After all, he was the last head for the South Korean team. If he had just ran in the other direction or got rid of the a.s.sa.s.sin, the end result would be different.
Nevertheless, there were no "ifs" on the field.
Cheng Wei stared at the computer screen in front of him and muttered, "The domestic audience must be scolding me…"
Tan s.h.i.tian helped tidy up his hair and spoke softly, "Don"t mind it. No matter how strong a player, they will all lose eventually. I was the commander of the game and it was also my order for you to retreat. I bear the responsibility."
His tone was gentle but contained decisiveness and determination. It was as if there was nothing to fear with him there.
Cheng Wei saw the encouraging gaze and couldn"t help feeling moved.
He used to think that the always smiling Tan s.h.i.tian was never serious and always bickered with him.
Then today in the World Compet.i.tion, Cat G.o.d sent Tan s.h.i.tian out to open the match. As the youngest captain in the professional league, Tan s.h.i.tian withstood the huge pressure and achieved a score of 9:10 against the South Korean team, which wasn"t easy.
This man was more powerful than Cheng Wei thought.
At a young age, he could face winning and losing in the World Compet.i.tion so easily. Despite going against South Korea"s ace captain, Park Joonseo, his mental state was steady and he calmly commanded the game. This alone was enough to make Cheng Wei feel ashamed.
Cheng Wei couldn"t help admiring such a Tan s.h.i.tian. Cheng Wei might feel that Tan s.h.i.tian didn"t seem reliable but Tan s.h.i.tian was particularly responsible in critical moments.
***
Cheng Wei returned with the rest of his teammates and Li Cangyu didn"t blame them. Instead, he smiled and said, "You did a lot better than I expected."
Tan s.h.i.tian smiled with some regret. "Unfortunately, I lost in the end."
"It doesn"t matter." Li Cangyu patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him. "It is good to fight 9:10 with so many newcomers. Your strength is obvious."
Tan s.h.i.tian nodded. "What"s next?"
Li Cangyu gathered the players and spoke simple, "We don"t need to mind the first game. Adjust your mentality and prepare for the next game. A good show is still ahead!"
