Chapter 334 – China VS South Korea (Tearing Through the Defense)
It was unexpected for the white magician to be killed by Ling Xuefeng. Park Joonseo was very surprised and couldn"t help asking, "What happened?"
Bae Eunki wanted to cry. "Ling Xuefeng pulled me away with the banshee at a crucial moment and I couldn"t add blood."
Park Joonseo couldn"t help frowning. He already heard that Ling Xuefeng"s banshee play was superb and the use of the single and group pull skills were definitely a weapon that could cut into the opposing lineup. Just now, Ling Xuefeng had accurately calculated the distance, took the healer away at a crucial moment and killed the white magician instantly.
"It doesn"t matter. You should withdraw first and don"t give them your head." Park Joonseo took a deep breath and maintained his composure. He placed a retreat mark on the map and Bae Eunki instantly turned to run.
Ling Xuefeng collected a head and didn"t pursue the healer. He just stayed in place and kept killing the magpies.
***
Everyone finished killing the first wave of mobs and went home to buy equipment. Ling Xuefeng used his economic advantage to buy the demon summoner necklace, Witch"s Contract.
This was the main necklace of the demon summoner and the effect of wearing it was to "increase the crit rate". Ling Xuefeng usually liked to buy this piece of equipment during the game since it made up for the lack of equipment with crits on his body.
Bai Xuan gave all his resources to Xie Shurong so he had the money to buy a ring that increased physical attacks.
"Captain Ling bought a crit necklace, Ah Shu bought a ring with physical attack and Yan Ruiwen bought a ring with magic attack. It seems that the Chinese team is taking the pure output route. Kou Hongyi spoke while looking at the equipment panel. "The next wave of group combat will be the key to this game. It depends on who takes the lead in stealing the ice dragon!"
The contestants on both sides moved in unison towards the ice dragon.
The South Korea team"s Shin Chimin might"ve been killed by Ling Xuefeng and had her economy greatly affected but the players on the other roads were in good condition and bought equipment suitable for them.
Both sides met near the ice dragon"s cave but the commanders on both sides were calm and not in a hurry to start.
After a moment of standoff near the cave, Ling Xuefeng finally found the entry point for the team combat. "Hit them!"
At the commander"s order, Yan Ruiwen used the control skill Dark Fear. However, Park Joonseo"s reaction was extremely fast. The moment he saw Yan Ruiwen casting, he summoned the angel pet, the six-winged angel.
—Angel"s Light!
The soft white halo instantly enveloped the members of the Korean team. The angel"s big move allowed all teammates within the barrier to be immune to all damage and control for five seconds.
Yan Ruiwen"s control move was neutralized and Guo Xuan"s Shadow Winding was also blocked.
This protection skill was opened just right and the pa.s.sive Korean team successfully took the initiative. Park Joonseo summoned the light G.o.d and opened the skill Light G.o.d"s Blessing, doubling the attack power of the whole group!
The Korean players had a status bonus and released their attack skills towards the Chinese team without hesitation. Tidal Surge, Death Arrow Rain, h.e.l.l Flames!
The light effect flashed on the screen and the Chinese team fell below half blood. The audience started sweating at the sight.
Fortunately, Bai Xuan quickly cast a healing array and then used the healing chain Holy Star to return blood to his teammates.
However, group healing skills had a long cooldown time. It would be quite hard for the South Korean team if so many group attacks were released again.
Ling Xuefeng definitely knew this. He quickly issued instructions on the voice channel. "Ah Shu, break into the back row. Qin Mo, cooperate with him while the others spread out!"
The group immediately dispersed according to his instructions.
After five seconds, the Korean team"s invincible state ended. Qin Mo instantly summoned the blood snake and blood spider to let his pets bite the opponents. The Korean players couldn"t stand in place to let the blood kin pets bite them. Everyone started to escape and hide. Bai Xuan released his hand speed to add five layers of Healing Language on Xie Shurong and Xie Shurong took the opportunity to bypa.s.s the front row players and broke into the back row!
"Open big!" Ling Xuefeng sent a command and summoned the demon G.o.d.
The dark G.o.d emerged from the ground and raised a death curse. Dark fog spread from him, causing a lot of damage to the enemies who came into contact with this dark fog.
The demon G.o.d"s group attack had the strongest damage and widest range of all the demon summoner"s skills.
Park Joonseo summoned the snow bird.
The snow bird hovered in the air and gave a healing aura to all teammates, adding blood. However, the moment Park Joonseo summoned the snow bird, Xie Shurong opened the big move Light and Shadow Rotation!
The quickly moving sword was like an impenetrable silver net that killed the snow bird in seconds.
Xie Shurong"s decisive attack directly abolished Park Joonseo"s blood-adding petand caused a lot of damage to all Korean players in range.
However, the South Korean team had a double healer lineup. Park Joonseo"s snow bird might be killed but there was the priest Bae Eunki.
Bae Eunki immediately cast a large healing skill to return blood to her teammates before stacking up Healing Language.
The two sides exchanged a wave of skills but not one person died. Kou Hongyi couldn"t help saying, "This is a strong team vs strong team! The Korean team"s defense ability is truly very strong. Park Joonseo"s pets can give his teammates a barrier while Bae Eunki"s healing level isn"t weak. If the Chinese team wants to find a breakthrough, it depends on Xie Shurong…"
He had just said this when Xie Shurong shifted targets and used Spirit Lock to stun Bae Eunki.
Previously, Ling Xuefeng had suddenly changed targets to kill the white magician and Bae Eunki was psychologically prepared for this practice. The moment she became dizzy, she used Purification to solve the problem and walked to the side to move away from Xie Shurong.
As it turned out, it wasn"t that easy to escape from a sticky swordsman!
The little brother of the Flying Feathers team"s three swordsmen was very experienced in killing healers. In the past, Bai Xuan had been killed 10 times by Xie Shurong in one game and received a psychological shadow.
Bae Eunki had never faced Xie Shurong and she greatly underestimated the level of Xie Shurong"s stickiness!
She had just run to the side to avoid the swordsman"s attack and didn"t expect that in the next second, Xie Shurong actually came from behind her and used a simple move to interrupt her blood adding skill. Bae Eunki was a bit upset and evaded in the other direction. As a result, Xie Shurong kept catching up and interrupting her skills.
Bae Eunki, "…"
Was this swordsman made of sugar?
The South Korean players found that their healer was chased by the other side"s swordsman and turned back to deal with Xie Shurong. At this moment, Ling Xuefeng suddenly used Cover the Sky!
The group of crows swirled in the sky and completely blacked out the vision of the South Korean team.
"So beautiful!" The just interrupted Kou Hongyi immediately spoke again, "The timing of Captain Ling"s move was just right! If you closely observe the positions in the game, you will find that while Ah Shu went into the back row to interfere with the healer, the Chinese players scattered and the South Korean players became more concentrated!"
"It was a trap." Yu Bing continued calmly. "Captain Ling had Ah Shu enter the back row to interfere with the healer and this distracted the South Korean team. In fact, the most important part of a team battle is that everyone"s ideas should be synchronized and the firepower concentrated. Once distracted, it is easy for the other party to seize the loophole."
Xie Shurong"s positioning was very flexible and the speed of his ordinary attacks dazzling.
In the fierce battle, he suddenly smashed into the back row and easily disturbed the other side"s formation. Ling Xuefeng seized this opportunity to completely blind them using the crows.
The thing that made the audience laugh was that Bae Eunki opened the instant big move, Divine Blessing because she was too nervous.
This was a healer"s big group healing skill and the effect was quite powerful. The white light would quickly spread to the surrounding teammates and return a large amount of blood.
In fact, Ling Xuefeng used the crows to black out the vision of the South Korean team and didn"t rush to attack. Instead, he used the banshee to pull Bae Eunki to the side, directly wasting her big move!
After losing her vision, Bae Eunki blindly opened the group healing skill. It was because she previously had her healing interrupted by Xie Shurong. In the state of blindness, her teammates would be easily killed if she couldn"t add blood.
Apparently, she underestimated Ling Xuefeng"s foresight. Ling Xuefeng"s distance calculation was so accurate that he once again used the banshee to pull her away and her skill only restored Park Joonseo"s blood!
"Release your skills and kill the priest first!" Ling Xuefeng ordered calmly.
Yan Ruiwen and Guo Xuan had been working with him for a long time and were familiar with the captain"s rhythm. The two of them aimed at the priest Bae Eunki and quickly stacked five layers of Death Mantra on her. At the same time, they applied the negative state Soul Curse.
Qin Mo wasn"t far away and had the blood snake bite Bae Eunki to apply three layers of bleeding. Ling Xuefeng also summoned four skeleton infantry and exploded them. Not to mention Xie Shurong had been staring at the healer and slashed at her, not allowing her to release any blood adding skills.
Bae Eunki used the instant skill Holy Light Surge to restore her blood but it unfortunately wasn"t enough against the Chinese team"s full outbreak.
There was a loud bang and Bae Eunki fell to the ground.
The South Korean players finally regained their vision only to see their healer being killed.
The Chinese team finally seized the opportunity and was the first to tear through the South Korean team"s defense.

Chapter 335 – China VS South Korea (Match Point Scramble)
The South Korean healer died and Park Joonseo instantly realized the seriousness of the situation. The Chinese team"s practice of dividing the battlefield greatly weakened the Korean team"s defense while Xie Shurong"s experience in dealing with healers was quite rich. His close proximity was simply a nightmare for healers.
He could no longer let Xie Shurong interfere with the South Korean team"s back row. Park Joonseo decisively changed strategies. "Kill the swordsman first!"
The South Korean swordsman and a.s.sa.s.sin heard this and turned back to Xie Shurong. The white magician and archer acted as remote output a.s.sistance and for a moment, all skills were directed at Xie Shurong.
Xie Shurong"s blood started to drop dramatically and he fell to 25% residual blood in the blink of an eye.
Bai Xuan certainly wouldn"t watch Ah Shu be killed. He took a few steps forward and used Holy Light Surge to instantly restore Xie Shurong"s blood.
Originally, this move could restore 50% of his teammates blood but the audience found that Bai Xuan"s skill only added 20%.
"Park Joonseo used the skill of the six-winged angel to greatly reduce the effectiveness of healing skills!" Kou Hongyi explained.
The six-winged angel was a very useful auxiliary pet for an angel summoner. It had two skills. One was Angel"s Light, which gave a barrier all teammates within range, allowing them to be immune to damage and control for five seconds. The other was Angel"s Wings, which greatly reduced the defense of the target as well as the healing effect on the target.
Park Joonseo placed this skill on Xie Shurong and Ah Shu"s defense was greatly reduced as well as Bai Xuan"s blood-adding skill. This meant the Korean team could kill Xie Shurong with less effort.
Xie Shurong also knew this and typed on the team channel: [Don"t save me!]
He was telling Bai Xuan to give up and not save him.
Bai Xuan saw these worlds and immediately stopped adding blood to Ah Shu. As a healer, he had to calmly judge the situation on the field and abandon certain teammates when necessary.
Ah Shu took the initiative to give up on himself and this made Bai Xuan feel better. He clearly realized that Xie Shurong was an outstanding player who knew the big picture. At the critical moment, there would be no gains unless there was a sacrifice.
Xie Shurong only had a trace of blood left and was about to die. Then he suddenly moved to the archer Kim Yoonhee and released all his available skills—Breaking Bone Sword, Devouring Soul Sword and Blood-sucking Sword!
The extremely fast release of three skills combined with two general attacks created a dazzling and sharp play. Kim Yoonhee"s blood was directly cut to 25% residual blood!
Xie Shurong was killed but he once again made a breakthrough for the Chinese team.
This breakthrough was the Korean team"s vice-captain, Kim Yoonhee.
An archer had very weak defense. After being beaten, Kim Yoonhee used Flying Feather Steps to run but Ling Xuefeng wouldn"t give her a chance to escape. It was impossible to let Ah Shu"s breakthrough be wasted.
He summoned four skeleton infantry and surrounded her on all sides before exploding them.
He had long been familiar with the operation of the demon pets. Kim Yoonhee didn"t have time to run away before being killed by Ling Xuefeng!
The South Korean team now only had one white magician, one a.s.sa.s.sin and one auxiliary.
The Chinese team had Ah Shu killed while the two black magicians and two summoners survived. Moreover, Ah Shu had played his role before dying by laying the foundation for his teammates.
Next was the big explosive moment after Ling Xuefeng"s command!
Yan Ruiwen and Guo Xuan used the group attack skills they had been saving, Shadow Winding and h.e.l.l Flames!
Qin Mo"s blood kin pet followed up with Blood Bat Festival!
The big moves. .h.i.t in succession and the South Korean team were beaten to residual blood.
Of course, Shim Yoocheol couldn"t let the black magicians keep casting. He turned and used Light and Shadow Rotation to interrupt the opponent"s casting, causing a lot of damage to two black magicians.
However, the Chinese team had Bai Xuan. Bai Xuan used a handy healing array and filled up their blood.
Qin Mo and Ling Xuefeng started to move quickly. The blood kin pets and demon pets attacked the Korean team and their bodies were covered with a negative state.
The South Korean swordsman Shim Yoocheol and a.s.sa.s.sin Kim Changmin jointly killed the black magician Guo Xuan while Ling Xuefeng killed Shin Chimin.
The two South Korean melee worked together. One controlled the healer while the other killed Yan Ruiwen. It was a pity that they had just killed Yan Ruiwen when the news of Park Joonseo"s death appeared on the screen.
Ling Xuefeng was still the recipient of the harvest.
Shim Yoocheol and Kim Changmin didn"t have much blood left at this time. The consequences would be unthinkable if Ling Xuefeng took another head!
Park Joonseo hurriedly said, "Don"t fight. Withdraw!"
Unfortunately, it was too late to withdraw.
Qin Mo had been a.s.sisting his master by having the blood snakes bite people. Shim and Kim"s bodies already had five layers of bleeding on them. After seeing that the other side was going to withdraw, Qin Mo used the blood spider to fix them in place. Ling Xuefeng followed by exploding the skeletons and killed two people in one breath!
The cooperation between mentor and apprentice was quite tacit. The South Korean team killed three members of the Chinese team but were entirely wiped out. The most frightening thing was that all the heads went to Ling Xuefeng!
[Ling Xuefeng has become a great G.o.d!]
The message on the screen was a blow that made Park Joonseo instantly wake up. The always calm South Korean captain now showed an anxious look.
Ling Xuefeng, Qin Mo and Bai Xuan stayed in place to kill the ice dragon. The small boss didn"t have high attack and it was relatively easy to kill. The three of them successfully killed the ice dragon and returned to join their teammates.
The whole group obtained the ice dragon"s economic bonus and their money was abundant.
In particular, Ling Xuefeng killed so many people and the amount of money on his body made the crowd drool.
He directly bought his favourite weapon, Demon G.o.d"s Curse.
The shape of the staff was very special and the top had a skeleton-like shape. The skeleton"s eyes glowed with black flames which looked frightening. However, Ling Xuefeng"s fans believed that their male G.o.d holding the staff with his summoner"s costume was too cool.
The effect of the staff was to increase the damage of Skeleton Explosion as well as the summoning distance and casting distance of the banshee. Ling Xuefeng was especially good at using the banshee to control the field. With this weapon, the operation of his banshee would be more varied. Skeleton Explosion was the most commonly used attack skill of the demon summoner and this weapon could greatly enhance Ling Xuefeng"s output ability.
Yan Ruiwen and Guo Xuan didn"t gain any heads but both of them bought rings with extra attack power. Qin Mo bought the Blood Duke"s Ring to increase the control time. Bai Xuan and Xie Shurong bought lamps to widen their field of view.
The speed of professional players was very fast. Everyone finished buying their equipment and props in just a few seconds. Ling Xuefeng looked at the map and ordered decisively, "Go directly to the crystal!"
***
In the commentators" room, Kou Hongyi found it hard to hide his expectations. He quickly said, "Captain Ling has gained his weapon and nearly doubled his attack power! All members of the Chinese team have supplemented their equipment and their advantage against the fire dragon is very obvious!" As he spoke, Ling Xuefeng didn"t lead the team to fight the dragon. Instead, he went straight to the middle crystal. Kou Hongyi immediately stopped talking and his voice became shocked. "They are going directly to the crystal!"
Yu Bing nodded. "It seems like it."
Generally speaking, it was necessary to acc.u.mulate enough equipment in an economic war. After killing the fire dragon, they would rely on the buff to push towards the crystal. Sometimes, one party would get a large number of heads in the early stages. If the advantage was obvious, they would choose to push directly to the crystal.
However, there was a prerequisite for directly pushing to the crystal. There needed to be a time difference or the confidence to win against the opposite side.
This time, players on both sides died and the resurrection time was similar. It was impossible for there to be a time difference.
Ling Xuefeng dared to lead the team to directly push to the crystal, proving that he had enough confidence to stop the Korean team"s interference.
The Chinese team arrived at the central highlands. QIn Mo"s blood knight acted as a guardian in front. The others quickly killed the beasts and opened the channel to the crystal.
Ling Xuefeng calmly said, "Qin Mo, Yan Guo and Bai Xuan will guard the exit. Ah Shu, follow me!"
He left three ranged players and a healer to guard the door while taking Xie Shurong to play the crystal. This was because Ah Shu"s attack speed was extremely fast and he could greatly speed up the destruction of the crystal.
Sure enough, Ling Xuefeng and Xie Shurong arrived at the crystal and Xie Shurong immediately attacked crazily.
The thing he was best at was ordinary attack combos. He could often make combos against moving opponents. Then what about a static crystal?
At this moment, Xie Shurong released his full hand speed and actually hit the crystal 10 times in five seconds!
The damage kept doubling and the crystal"s blood was dropping swiftly.
Ling Xuefeng had luxurious equipment and kept summoning skeletons to explode them. The two people joined hands and removed one-third of the crystal"s blood in an instant.
The South Korean players rushed over in a hurry.
They had just guessed wrong. They thought the Chinese team would kill the fire dragon and set up an ambush there. It wasn"t until the crystal was being attacked prompt appeared on the screen that they rushed over. However, their rhythm was significantly slower by one step.
Yan Ruiwen was waiting in ambush at the highlands. He immediately used Dark Fear to set all of the Korean team in place.
The healer Bae Eunki used Purification to help her teammates but Guo Xuan followed with another Dark Fear. The control skills of the two black magicians were almost seamless.
The urgent South Korean team was forced to wait for the control to end. Once the three-second control effect ended, Park Joonseo opened the six-winged angel"s barrier to make his teammates immune to all control and injuries.
They turned towards the highlands but they arrived at the entrance only to find that Qin Mo had placed his death knight to block the narrow entrance!
The death knight was the bodyguard of the blood kin summoner and its thick skin didn"t lose to the paladin. Even so, it was a pet and the blood volume was slightly lower. Generally speaking, it wasn"t difficult to kill.
However, today there was a healer next to it!
Bai Xuan hid behind the knight and quickly added five layers of Healing Language on the knight. The Korean team gathered to kill the death knight and Bai Xuan quickly added blood to it.
The South Korean audience was having a bit of a meltdown. There were so many G.o.ds only to be blocked by a blood kin pet. They wouldn"t have believed it if they weren"t seeing it with their eyes.
Bai Xuan"s healing ability was really strong and methodically added blood. Qin Mo"s pet was maintained at a half blood state in his car. Park Joonseo frowned before using the Light G.o.d"s Blessing to improve the attack power of the whole group. This wave of explosions killed Qin Mo"s pet knight.
Shim Yoocheol"s swordsman took the lead in breaking through the narrow channel. Once he saw the crystal"s blood, his heart fell to the keyboard. In the blink of an eye, the crystal"s blood was only 30%!
Park Joonseo saw this and ordered, "Go and interrupt them!"
Shim Yoocheol and Kim Changmin quickly moved only for Ling Xuefeng to summon the banshee and used Witch Demon"s Curse.
The demon beauty put her hands together and pulled the South Korean players to her side.
Due to the weapon"s increased distance bonus, Ling Xuefeng"s banshee was summoned far below the highlands. The South Korean team had just rushed up only to be pulled down by the banshee. It was equivalent to wasting time.
They tried to rush over again only to find that Yan Ruiwen, Guo Xuan, Qin Mo and Bai Xuan were blocking the entrance. This was an "unless you step on our bodies, don"t think about going to the highlands" momentum!
The six players of the South Korean team naturally weren"t afraid of the four Chinese players but Bai Xuan"s healing was enough to delay the time.
They couldn"t afford this because the crystal was going to break!
Park Joonseo directly used the ice woman"s Frost Soul to freeze all four Chinese people and then said, "Quickly kill them!"
Kim Changmin used the a.s.sa.s.sin"s stealth to penetrate through the obstacles and successfully bypa.s.sed the Chinese team, quickly arriving at the crystal.
The thing that made him feel desperate was that he only saw the crystal breaking.
There was a loud band and crystal fragments flew through the air, shining under the sunlight.
The word "Failure" popped up on the big screen and the Korean team failed to save the battle.
On the Chinese side, there was the golden "Victory" on the screen.
The third game was won and the score became 2:1. The Chinese team took the lead in gaining match point!
