Chapter 226 – Finals (12)
Xie Shurong"s biggest feature was his fast attacks and Xiao Han was also a very sensitive player. By combining these two people, Li Cangyu"s intentions were obvious—play quickly!
The Shu Han combination"s movement speed was as fast as lightning. Guo Xuan was about to read a skill when he was interrupted by Xie Shurong"s first move, Breaking Bone Sword. Xiao Han also cleverly lurked behind Guo Xuan and released Backstab and Fatal Blow!
[Frost Descends has killed Blade Dancer!]
The residual blood Guo Xuan couldn"t cast a skill before dying. It was enough to see that Xiao Han"s explosive power didn"t lose to the league"s first-cla.s.s a.s.sa.s.sins.
Yan Ruiwen was smart. The moment his teammate was fixed in place, he quickly moved and pulled away from the Shu Han combination. He followed up with the single target attack skill, Soul Burning. This was the skill that Li Xiaojiang released before dying and it caused Ah Shu to lose blood while his blue fell.
Then he used the h.e.l.l Flames group attack to successfully hit Xiao Han, although Xie Shurong escaped with a teleport skill. He quickly chased Yan Ruiwen and stabbed the other person"s chest.
The terran swordsman waved his silver sword and unceremoniously struck Yan Ruiwen.
[Ah Shu has killed Undying Grat.i.tude!]
The residual blood Yan Guo combination couldn"t last for half a minute under the rapid attacks of the Shu Han combination. It could be seen that Li Cangyu"s intentions behind sending them in the second stage instead of the Shu Bai combination was perfectly realized.
In this way, Wind Colour didn"t have much of an advantage because Xiao Han had 80% blood and 90% blue while Xie Shurong was almost full of blood.
The Canglan fans immediately heated up. They didn"t expect the combined power of Ah Shu and the little prince to be so powerful. The two players were as fast as lightning, their strikes fierce.
[Canglan, I"m cheering for you!] [Giving strength to Tree G.o.d and the little prince!] In the live broadcast room, everyone was cheering on the players.
On the Wind Colour side, Ling Xuefeng submitted the lineup for the second stage—Qin Mo and Xu Feifan!
This lineup made the eyes of the audience shine. Kou Hongyi immediately interjected, "Xu Feifan and Qin Mo are both blood kin summoners! This combination hasn"t appeared in the previous Wind Colour games against Canglan. The double summoners should be dominant against double melee."
Yu Bing said, "The vision in today"s square map is very clear. If Ah Shu and Xiao Han quickly interrupt their casting, the summoners will have a headache."
“In other words, both sides have hope. We will have to see who can seize the opportunity!" Kou Hongyi added.
Xu Feifan and Xie Shurong both debuted in the third season while Qin Mo and Xiao Han were newcomers in the team and had the t.i.tle of "little prince". Both sides could be called equal.
The audience were nervous while Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng"s eyes were focused on the big screen.
Qin Mo and Xu Feifan were both blood kin players. The moment they refreshed on the map, the two of them became invisible and walked side by side to the centre of the map. Their goal was obvious. First kill Xie Shurong!
Ah Shu couldn"t see the other side who were invisible and could only rely on his fast movement skills to shuttle back and forth between the stone pillars. Suddenly, Qin Mo locked on the target and the blood spider accurately set Xie Shurong in place. This was followed by the blood snake which bit Xie Shurong!
Xu Feifan also moved to set a blood snake on Xie Shurong!
Ah Shu was set in place and couldn"t move. He had to hold out against the next wave of attacks. Qin Mo and Xu Feifan tacitly understood to use their big move on Xie Shurong—Bat Summoning, Blood Bat Festival!
At this time, Xiao Han suddenly appeared behind Xu Feifan and stunned him using Pain Blade!
Xu Feifan"s big move couldn"t be used and Qin Mo"s move only hit Xie Shurong to half blood. Ah Shu was released from the control and returned fire. He teleported to Xu Feifan and cooperated with Xiao Han, using Light and Shadow Rotation!
The damage caused by Light and Shadow Rotation was proportional to the number of times the sword hit the target. If there were multiple enemies in range then the damage would naturally be dispersed to many people. Now Xie Shurong used the group attack on Xu Feifan and the damage was quite scary. The big move directly knocked out 35% of Xu Feifan"s blood!
In addition, Xiao Han wasn"t polite. He moved to the rear and raised his dagger to unleash the a.s.sa.s.sin"s most dangerous combo— Backstab, Soul Stab, Death Strangulation!
Xu Feifan was. .h.i.t by both people and his blood fell to 40%. He had to summon the knight to save his life.
During this time, Qin Mo had been using the blood snake and blood spider to nibble on Ah Shu. Ah Shu now had 10 layers of bleeding stacked on his body and his blood fell below 50%.
Compared with the previous games where the Shu Bai combination appeared, the pace of this game was significantly faster.
Xie Shurong was affected by bleeding but he didn"t appear afraid. He still fought very hard in a handsome manner. His sharp sword left white shadows everywhere!
The terran swordsman chased the blood kin summoner and slashed at him. Xu Feifan wanted to use his pet to control the opponent but Xiao Han wisely killed his pet.
The surrounded Xu Feifan had to move around the fountain. Qin Mo chased after him and attacked Xie Shurong!
The result was that while Xie Shurong was killed, Xu Feifan was also killed.
[Shepherd has killed Ah Shu!]
[Frost Descends has killed Out of the Ordinary!]
This was a violent exchange of heads. Both sides set fire to kill each other at the fastest speed, tacitly setting the goal as the G.o.d on both sides.
The ones remaining were the little princes of Canglan and Wind Colour, two young players of the next generation.
This scene completely ignited the emotions of fans on both sides. Currently, Qin Mo had 60% blood and 50% blue while Xiao Han had 50% blood and 40% blue. Qin Mo still had some advantages because Xiao Han was. .h.i.t by Yan Ruiwen at the beginning of the second stage.
The two men were across each other at the fountain and there were no movements for a moment.
Since they met each other, they had always been fighting in the online game. Xiao Han was a rookie and always killed by Qin Mo. As time pa.s.sed, Qin Mo discovered that this clever mixed-race boy progressed quickly. He had been tempered in the seventh season and today"s Xiao Han couldn"t be underestimated!
Qin Mo took a deep breath and continuously summoned blood spiders, blood snakes, blood knights and blood bats. The many pets were arranged in front of their master. This was the violent blood-sucking style of the blood kin summoner.
Jack Josh, the world"s strongest blood kin summoner liked this gorgeous style of play. Qin Mo previously used it often until he was severely taught by Cat G.o.d in the online game. Now he was fighting in the finals!
He wanted to use a wave of blood kin pets to take Xiao Han"s life away in one breath!
The blood kin pets spread out rapidly under Qin Mo"s control and surrounded Xiao Han.
Xiao Han saw this scene and quickly used stealth to escape. However, Qin Mo was quick and used his blood bats to make the invisible Xiao Han appear.
Xiao Han just kept rushing forward. The audience discovered at this time that Xiao Han wasn"t escaping at all. He instead rushed to the blood kin spider!
His dagger fell and blood splashed. The blood kin spider was killed by him in a few seconds.
"Xiao Han seems to have no plans to save his life. He has only one idea, attack, constantly attack!" Kou Hongyi exclaimed excitedly when he saw this scene. "The little princes on both sides are playing very hard. They are exploding their full force to create advantages for their masters in the last round."
Xiao Han"s approach was actually very clever. He was surrounded by the blood kin pets and couldn"t escape, even if he was invisible. The reason why he entered stealth was to force QIn Mo"s bat move.
Many players were likely to be dazzled when facing a large number of blood kin pets but Xiao Han"s goal was very clear. First kill the spider so that he wouldn"t be set in place, followed by killing the blood knight. Then the master would lose the protection effect of the knight.
Qin Mo summoned many pets. In addition to stacking up the bleeding effect, he wanted to greatly consume Xiao Han"s blue. The spider and knight died but Xiao Han paid a heavy price. He only had 20% blood and blue left, while there were still five layers of bleeding on his body.
By the time the bleeding effect ended, Xiao Han would directly die!
At this moment, Qin Mo used Combat Stealth to disappear from Xiao Han"s vision.
This practice might seem shameless but Qin Mo was actually being quite rational. As long as he was invisible, Xiao Han didn"t have an enemy to attack. He couldn"t suck blood and the stacked bleeding would make him die in 10 seconds.
The Canglan fans felt reluctant. It would take a long time for Xiao Han to kill the pets and too much bleeding was stacked. Was it necessary for him to die this way?
The Canglan fans were feeling depressed when Xiao Han suddenly used the a.s.sa.s.sin"s only ranged attack, Arc Stab!
This skill was difficult to use. The a.s.sa.s.sin would throw the dagger in their hand and cause damage along the arc that the dagger pa.s.sed through. It was a type of damage chain attack.
The audience saw Xiao Han throwing the dagger into the air. Qin Mo was actually in the arc of this attack and was unexpectedly hit by Xiao Han!
Qin Mo, "…"
He didn"t expect this guy"s judgment ability to be so strong. Xiao Han actually guessed the position of the invisible Qin Mo!
After the opponent was revealed, Xiao Han didn"t rush to kill Qin Mo. He used a rapid displacement to kill the bats. This attack didn"t absorb a lot of blood. Qin Mo decisively used the blood snake to finally take away Xiao Han"s life.
[Shepherd has killed Frost Descends!]
He succeeded in killing Xiao Han but Qin Mo was particularly shocked. This person had improved recently. Not only were his pre-judgment skills quite accurate, the calculation of his various damages was also very clever.
If it wasn"t for the blood and blue advantage that Vice-Captain Yan had created, Qin Mo might not be able to complete the kill against him. Despite completing the killing, Qin Mo found that almost all his skills were used up by Xiao Han.
The blood spider, blood knight and blood bats were killed, with only the poor blood snake left…
Yu Bing couldn"t help expressing her admiration. "Xiao Han couldn"t kill the opponent but he guaranteed that his next teammates wouldn"t be at a disadvantage. He showed consideration to the overall situation of the team. To have such an excellent general view and ability to make the most rational judgment at a crucial moment, Xiao Han really surprised me."
Kou Hongyi also felt admiration. "Their two masters are fated enemies and the little princes show signs of also being enemies. This strength is really high! Next they will hand it to the players in the final guard stage!"
The audience members warmly clapped and the Canglan team sent their final combination to the guard stage.
—Old Cat, White Fox.
The appearance of these two IDs caused many Canglan fans to tear up.
The partners for seven years, partners who had been fighting together for seven years!
No matter how cruel failure was or how depressing the experience, Vice-Captain Bai always faced it together with Li Cangyu. Without the vice-captain"s persistence, there wouldn"t be the Cat G.o.d of today.
Now in the guard stage of the finals, they were finally working together again.
They would face the outcome with the most tacit combination of the old partners!

Chapter 227 – Finals (13)
Qin Mo only had one blood snake left, so he didn"t hesitate to have the snake bite Cat G.o.d when he saw Li Cangyu and Bai Xuan coming over. However, Li Cangyu didn"t give him a chance. He used a simple water spirit summoning and the Water Ball attack to delay the progress of the blood snake. At the same time, he summoned the fire spirit and used two Fireb.a.l.l.s to kill Qin Mo in one breath.
He sent Qin Mo away using the least consumption and the Wind Colour team finally sent their combination for the guard stage—Ling Xuefeng and He Qun, also a summoner and healer!
This was really a once-in-lifetime show.
Kou Hongyi exclaimed excitedly, "The two captains are really connected. They are playing the last stage with a milk dad!"
Yu Bing added, "The personal strength of the two summoners is at the top of the league. It is fair for them to bring healers with them."
The professional G.o.ds watching the game were all focused on the big screen. The camera showed Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng looking very calm, as if they had been waiting for this scene for a long time.
The guard stage of the deciding game officially started!
The blood kin sacrifice He Qun followed Ling Xuefeng. Once they arrived at the centre of the square, they saw Li Cangyu and Bai Xuan across the fountain. Li Cangyu had the water and fire spirits while LIng Xuefeng hadn"t summoned any pets. The two sides moved around the fountain and Li Cangyu acted first.
Once Cat G.o.d moved, he was as fast as the wind. He used Flying Feather Steps to enter within attack range of Ling Xuefeng.
The water and fire spirits moved to the left and right, surrounding Ling Xuefeng.
—Frost Heart, Raging Prairie Fire!
Two big moves were used as soon as they met!
Li Cangyu generally used the small skills of the water and fire spirits to hit the opponent, in order to lower his blue consumption. Today he met Ling Xuefeng and used his big moves to smash the other person. It was because his enemy took a healer. If he played using small skills then it would be like tickling Ling Xuefeng.
He Qun didn"t expect Cat G.o.d to be so fierce and use two big moves which caused both of them to lose a lot of blood. He had to open the blood kin sacrifice"s big move, Desperate Sacrifice, which had a long cooldown time. The blood of both people were quickly restored.
Li Cangyu immediately turned around and re-positioned himself. He wanted to summon the thunder spirit but Ling Xuefeng couldn"t sit still. The freezing effect of Frost Heart ended and he instantly summoned four skeleton infantry. At the same time, he used Skeleton Explosion to force Cat G.o.d"s blood down.
Bai Xuan quickly placed five layers of Healing Language on Cat G.o.d to let his blood slowly recover, then gave a small healing skill to fill the blood.
Ling Xuefeng saw this scene and summoned the black crows and demon G.o.d to unleash a wave of crits.
This damage was too terrible. Bai Xuan had to use the priest"s Divine Blessing to force their blood back up.
The professional players in the stands were very impressed. The two people weren"t kind to each other and unleashed a heavy bombardment, causing the pressure on both sides to be very high. It had been less than half a minute since the stage started and He Qun and Bai Xuan were already forced to use their big moves. It could be seen how terrible Ling Xuefeng and Li Cangyu"s explosive power was. Once the healer couldn"t keep up with the rhythm, the player was likely to be killed in one wave!
Bai Xuan"s eyes were fixed on the screen. Their understanding of many years made it easy for him to judge Li Cangyu"s next move and Li Cangyu also knew Bai Xuan"s position. It was like Li Cangyu had eyes in the back of his head. Even when he was rapidly moving using Flying Feather Steps, he always kept within range of Bai Xuan.
After the wave of big moves, Li Cangyu quickly moved. He used Fireball and Water Ball on Ling Xuefeng. Fireball dealt damage while Water Ball slowed Ling Xuefeng down, so he couldn"t catch up and would become pa.s.sive.
Cat G.o.d"s hand speed reached its highest speed. The audience saw the summoner wearing the white elf"s costume quickly move around Ling Xuefeng like the wind. The blue water sphere and red fire sphere were alternately thrown from the distance, dazzling people.
Cat G.o.d"s offensive rhythm was extremely fast. Relatively speaking, Captain Ling was much calmer. He suddenly placed the banshee in a clever position and accurately used Charm to pull Li Cangyu!
He followed up with the skeletons to quickly reduce Li Cangyu"s blood volume. Bai Xuan had to release his hand speed to fill his teammate"s blood. Captain Ling"s output was too fierce and Bai Xuan"s skills consumption was more terrible than a team battle.
The two sides faced each other for five minutes. Ling Xuefeng and Li Cangyu were still full of blood, making the viewers feel anxious. Yu Bing quickly explained, "In an arena game with healers, it is difficult to wipe out the opponent in seconds. He Qun and Bai Xuan are first-cla.s.s healers. Thus, Captain Ling and Cat G.o.d can only use a lot of skills to consume the healer and then seize an opportunity to break out."
"We can see that although the captains are still full of blood, the healers have many big moves are on cooldown and the amount of blue is getting less and less. Once they can no longer keep up with the rhythm, the blood of their teammate will be wiped out in one wave!"
"He Qun and Bai Xuan will surely be very nervous right now. The captains of both sides are fast and their skills are overwhelming. Under the pressure of the high-intensity healing, it is easy to make mistakes!"
At this moment, Bai Xuan suddenly changed targets to He Qun. He used Purification to set the other party in place, then quickly stacked up five layers of Healing Language!
In Miracle, the healers had a special feature. Healing skills would add blood to their teammates while decreasing it for the opponents. The Purification skill would have a similar effect on the opponent!
Bai Xuan"s change in target caused many viewers to feel confused, only for Li Cangyu to also change targets. His elf summoner moved around a stone pillar at a very fast speed and his water and fire spirits aimed their skills at He Qun!
He Qun had been full of blood. Now he fell to half blood from this wave!
Once the control effect ended, He Qun opened Lava Shield to counter all damage.
Yet at this moment, Li Cangyu decisively stopped and switched targets back to Ling Xuefeng. It was because Ling Xuefeng had rushed over and used the demon G.o.d.
Li Cangyu and Bai Xuan were attacked by the demon G.o.d and had three layers of negative effects stacked on them. Their blood started to plummet. The worst thing was that Ling Xuefeng switched targets to Bai Xuan and called the crows to block Bai Xuan"s vision!
Bai Xuan was in a blinded state he still aimed to the front left, casting the Holy Star group skill!
Li Cangyu couldn"t be seen with his eyes but the tacit understanding allowed him to judge Li Cangyu"s general position. At critical moments, Li Cangyu was always to his left in front of him!
The magnificent "blind casting" become the cla.s.sic shot of the seventh season. Bai Xuan"s healing chain fell on Li Cangyu"s body, bringing Cat G.o.d"s blood back to 60%!
Bai Xuan was hurt by Ling Xuefeng"s move and only had 50% blood left, while also being affected by the demon G.o.d"s negative state. He couldn"t restore the blood volume of both of them at the same time…
At this time, Bai Xuan made a choice that was unexpected for many Canglan fans. He struggled to move behind a stone pillar and used this brief respite to cast the healer"s big move, Holy Light Surge!
Holy Light Surge was one of the most powerful single target healing skills, restoring 40% blood.
His goal wasn"t his residual blood self but Li Cangyu to the front left.
This skill was released and Li Cangyu instantly became full blood. Bai Xuan only had 15% blue left and he didn"t hesitate to use another skill—Energy Infusion!
This was a skill that transferred all his current blue volume to his teammate!
The spectators were gobsmacked and even the professional players felt complicated.
Bai Xuan"s approach was equivalent to a last-ditch attempt. It was hard for him to guarantee the blood of two people so he decisively abandoned himself and gave the opportunity to survive to his captain.
This was out of absolute trust in his old partner.
He believed that even if he was dead, Li Cangyu would be full of blood and additional blue and this was enough to take care of the opponent.
Bai Xuan fell with a smile.
Ling Xuefeng felt very impressed the moment he killed Bai Xuan. This person was able to make a strong decision at the crucial moment and abandon himself. He was worthy of being the partner who stood next to Li Cangyu for seven years.
Thanks to the additional blue, Li Cangyu immediately used the water spirit"s Water Ball to freeze He Qun in place. He took advantage of the fact that most of He Qun"s skills were on cooldown and released his hand speed, taking away He Qun"s head!
[Old Cat has killed Surrounding Mountains!]
The audience didn"t expect that the healers of both sides would die.
Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng were now 1v1. They were both full of blood thanks to the milk dad but the Energy Infusion skill before Bai Xuan"s death meant Li Cangyu"s blue was 15% higher than Ling Xuefeng.
What could an extra 15% blue do?
Li Cangyu told everyone the answer with practical actions.
Wind spirit summoning, Wind and Clouds Destruction!
This skill precisely blew Ling Xuefeng and his demon G.o.d pet into the fountain.
The demon G.o.d was out of range of his attacks. Li Cangyu used Flying Feather Steps to quickly move closer. He called the fire spirit to release a fierce attack, followed by Thunder"s Wrath. This forced Ling Xuefeng"s blood down to 50%.
Ling Xuefeng also started to fight back—Witch Demon"s Curse, Skeleton Explosion!
The extremely strong pull dragged Li Cangyu into the water where the four skeleton infantry were prepared. They exploded and Li Cangyu"s blood sharply decreased.
The two people didn"t go easy and the exchange of skills dazzled the audience.
Their rhythm was so fast that even the experienced commentators couldn"t tell what skills they used. It could only be distinguished with the slow replay.
In the blink of an eye, the two men pressed their opponent"s blood below 20%. In the absence of a healer, the two of them played three times faster than before and their various moves filled the audience with excitement!
Li Cangyu calculated his blue consumption and the final skill cooldown time. Frost Heart and Raging Prairie Fire still had 10 seconds left on their cooldown. These two set of moves could undoubtedly kill Ling Xuefeng but his blue wasn"t enough.
If his speculation was correct, Ling Xuefeng"s blue was enough to summon a large number of skeletons because the summoning cost was relatively small. The damage of the skeletons was enough to kill him.
Li Cangyu absolutely couldn"t let him summon the skeletons and grab the first hand!
Li Cangyu thought this and immediately used Flying Feather Steps. He moved before the stone pillars, temporarily escaping Ling Xuefeng"s field of view.
Many years ago when they were still 17 and 18 years old, they met every night to fight in Yisu City Square. Li Cangyu especially liked to slowly grind down Ling Xuefeng"s blood around the pillars.
At that time, he was a rookie and could only rely on such means to let himself live a bit longer.
Today, they were both players who stood at the peak of the summoner"s cla.s.s. The strategy used by Li Cangyu returned them to the age of the online game.
This method was also effective because the elf race moved faster than the demon race.
Ling Xuefeng was very familiar with this method of avoidance. Li Cangyu moved behind a stone pillar and Ling Xuefeng didn"t hesitate to follow. As he moved, he quickly summoned four skeleton infantry, prepared to hit the other side.
However, he had just moved around the stone pillar when he found Li Cangyu"s water spirit waiting for him.
—Frost Heart!
The overwhelming ice and snow, like a mountain top, froze all targets within a radius of 5 metres.
The water spirit"s big move consumed a lot of blue from Li Cangyu while accurately freezing Ling Xuefeng and his skeleton infantry.
Li Cangyu only had 5% blue left, which was only enough to summon a pet.
The freezing time was three seconds. He had to find a way to kill Ling Xuefeng in three seconds or else the awakened demon would empty his blood.
What was Cat G.o.d going to do?
The audience was anxious, especially the Canglan fans whose fists were clenched with tension.
At this moment, Li Cangyu summoned the demon and attached it to Ling Xuefeng"s back…
Yu Bing was shocked. "Oh my G.o.d, he still has this pet!"
The demon was the summoner"s shared pet and the amount of blue required for summoning wasn"t too much. There was only one effect: greatly slow down the movement speed of the target.
In the regular season, Ling Xuefeng used this pet to control LI Cangyu. Now in the finals, Li Cangyu repaid him by using Demon Possession to control Ling Xuefeng.
After three seconds, the freezing effect on Ling Xuefeng and the skeleton infantry ended but he had no way of catching up with the fast moving elf summoner.
Li Cangyu relied on his agility and used the simplest attack that didn"t consume blue to hit Ling. He took advantage of the opponent"s slower movements to move around the pillars and lowered the other person"s blood to 0%…
[Old Cat has killed Undead Demon!]
All the Canglan fans finally couldn"t stand the excitement and jumped up from the seats, screaming and cheering!
The two people in the soundproof room were very tired due to the fierce battle. Li Cangyu"s fingers left the keyboard but Ling Xuefeng"s hand was still on his keyboard. He quickly typed: [Congratulations.]
Li Cangyu smiled and replied: [Thank you.]
Many years ago when he was a rookie, no one in the online game played the elf summoner because they died too easily. However, Li Cangyu had his own thoughts. In his view, as long as the full agility route was taken, he could maximize the elf"s inherent speed advantage to compensate for his lack of defense.
Many people opposed it at the time and some even said it was a fantasy.
It was only Ling Xuefeng who encouraged him. "If you have your own ideas then you can try it."
This test lasted seven years. Despite Li Cangyu changing games in the middle, he always adhered to his agile and quick-moving tactical style.
Now he finally proved it to all those who questioned him. The elf summoner wasn"t weak!
In the deciding game of the finals, Li Cangyu relied on the deceleration control of the demon and played the elf summoner"s agility to the extreme, defeating the famous G.o.d Ling Xuefeng who was on the world summoner"s list!
This was the lightning fast elf summoner—Cat G.o.d Li Cangyu!
The champions of the seventh season belonged to the brand new team he led—Canglan!
