The King’s Return

Chapter 170: semi-final

Views:

After all the quarter-finals were over, the reporter conducted a simple interview with the players who reached the semi-finals of the individual competition: "Do you have anything to say to the audience about the upcoming games?"

Chen Jiang said very modestly: "There are so many masters in the individual competition this year. It is a lot of luck that I can enter the semi-finals. I hope I can continue to have good luck in the future."

Nie Yuzhu has always been reticent, and simply said: "I will try my best to sprint towards the championship."

Xiao Han said: "Being in the semi-finals is not the end, I want to reach the final finals and fight for a championship."

Qin Mo said calmly: "My goal is to be the champion of the first individual competition."

Obviously, all four players are eyeing the championship trophy. However, there is only one champion, and who will win it has become a hot topic among netizens.

In the official voting channel of the professional league, the support rate of the four great gods is very high. Nie Yuzhu has a large number of die-hard fans from the Tongque Club, and most of Chen Jiang's fans come from the Seven Star Grass Club of the Wulin League. Qin Mo's fan group structure It's more complicated. There are people who liked him from the former Fengse Club, and there are also new fans who just met Captain Mo Jue recently. In comparison, Xiao Han is the most popular. After all, he has participated in the World Series, and he has a mixed-race personality and a first-class personality. His good looks can easily attract the attention of fans. The number of fans who predicted Xiao Han's victory before the game was also the largest.

There was a heated discussion on the ownership of the championship on the Internet, but Qin Mo had a calm expression. After the interview, he took a taxi with Xiao Han to the hospital to visit Lin Shuangcheng.

When the two came to the ward, Song Changdong was bending over to pour water for Lin Shuangcheng, while Lin Shuangcheng was leaning on the head of the bed like an emperor, squinting his eyes and lazily basking in the sun, the golden evening sun shining on his face through the window On the face, the man's pale face yesterday had become much ruddy after this day's recuperation, and his hospital gown still could not conceal his outstanding temperament.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Song Changdong immediately put down the water bottle and greeted him: "Captain Qin, Hanshen, why are you here?"

Qin Mo glanced at Lin Shuangcheng and said, "Team Lin seems to be recovering well?"

Lin Shuangcheng said with a smile, "Xiao Song took good care of me."

Song Changdong stayed at the hospital last night to watch the night, and he has been by his side to take care of him today. Although the boy's movements are a little clumsy and he doesn't know how to take care of patients, he always asks: "Team Lin, do you want some water?" "Team Lin, do you want to drink water?" Are you hungry?" Lin Shuangcheng teased him maliciously: "I'm in a hurry and want to go to the bathroom." Song Changdong didn't realize that he was teasing him, so he walked over seriously and helped Lin Shuangcheng: "Then I'll help you go."

Lin Shuangcheng was defeated by him, so he could only say: "There is no hurry."

Song Changdong looked at Lin Shuangcheng with doubts on his face.

The honest man was busy serving tea and water all day long, and Lin Shuangcheng's mood became extraordinarily happy.

Qin Mo walked to the bedside and put the fruit he brought on the bedside. Lin Shuangcheng said, "You still brought the fruit? I'm recovering now, so I can only drink porridge, and I can't eat the fruit for the time being."

Xiao Han said bluntly: "It's not for you, we bought it for Xiao Song."

Song Changdong was flattered: "Ah, thank you Hanshen..."

Xiao Han patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's hard to serve this guy, isn't it?"

Song Changdong scratched his head: "It's okay."

Xiao Han turned his head and glanced at Lin Shuangcheng: "Don't bully our Xiao Song just because you are sick."

Lin Shuangcheng corrected: "He is not your Xiao Song, but mine. Let me emphasize that you have already sent him to Jiange."

Qin Mo said: "I have some regrets."

Lin Shuangcheng smiled and said: "Repentance is useless, Xiao Song is now my deputy team, don't run around to protect him like an old hen all day long, I will treat him well."

Song Changdong blushed and said, "Well, Moshen, let me wash some fruit for you to eat."

Several great gods started bickering around his topic, which made Song Changdong very uncomfortable and a little flattered, so he took the opportunity to go outside to wash the fruit.

Lin Shuangcheng just returned to the topic: "Both of you have entered the semi-finals, congratulations."

Qin Mo asked, "Did you watch the game?"

Lin Shuangcheng nodded: "Being bored in the hospital, watching today's full live broadcast, my prediction before the game was completely correct."

Xiao Han said: "So amazing? Then you can predict tomorrow's game."

Lin Shuangcheng asked: "Is the group out?"

Xiao Han said: "I am to Chen Jiang, and Xiaomo is to Nie Yuzhu."

Lin Shuangcheng thought for a while and said, "Then I still won't make predictions, you should know it in your heart."

Qin Mo and Xiao Han glanced at each other—they really knew what they were thinking, and Lin Shuangcheng was smart enough not to say it. Regardless of whether they win or lose, tomorrow's game will definitely be very difficult, but for the ultimate goal of winning the championship, they will definitely do their best to fight for it.

After visiting Lin Shuangcheng, Han Mo and the two returned to the hotel to prepare for tomorrow's game.

The two sat together and turned on the laptop to watch the video, but Xiao Han's cell phone suddenly received a message from Li Cangyu: "Apprentice, I have returned to China."

Xiao Han was shocked: "Isn't Master traveling abroad? Why did he come back suddenly?"

Li Cangyu said: "I'll come back to deal with some matters, and I'll tell you after I'm done. Let's work hard for tomorrow's match with Xiaomo."

Xiao Han temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and continued to watch the game video with Qin Mo, discussing countermeasures for tomorrow.

***

In the early morning of the next day, the top four players arrived at the competition venue on time. The venue was full of seats, and many fans cheered for their favorite players with fluorescent cards.

When Qin Mo and Xiao Han came to the backstage, they accidentally saw an acquaintance——cousin Qin Ye.

"Uncle?" Qin Mo stopped in doubt, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to be a guest commentator." Qin Ye shrugged helplessly and said, "I didn't want to join in the fun, but the chairman of the Dubu Alliance personally sent the invitation letter to my mailbox, so I have to sell him. Today I will be the commentator for the two semi-finals, Xiao Mo, and Xiao Han, you guys have to play hard."

"..." Qin Mo suddenly felt a heavy pressure.

Ye Chao is a venomous tongue in the commentary world, and Qin Ye is a venomous tongue in the e-sports circle. When the two venomous tongues meet together, Qin Mo can almost foresee how he will be laughed at by these two people if he makes a mistake in the next game...

Xiao Han obviously thought of this too, he clasped his fists seriously, and said, "Ye Shen, please be merciful!"

Qin Ye said calmly, "It depends on your performance."

At this moment, Ye Chao came over, smiled and said to Qin Ye, "Ye Shen, it's time to get ready."

Qin Ye nodded and went to the commentary stand with him.

After a while, the pre-match warm-up session ended and the live broadcast of the game officially started. Liang Ru first said: "Good morning, audience friends, this is the semi-final of the first professional league single event of Dubu Jianghu. I am the commentator Liang Ru."

"I'm Ye Chao."

"Today, we are honored to invite a guest commentator—God Qin Ye!"

"Hi everyone." Qin Ye greeted the audience very simply.

"Yeshen has been behind the scenes for more than six years, and he has come back to the e-sports arena. Is there anything you want to say to everyone?" Ye Chao asked.

"Time flies so fast. The contestants sitting on the stage are all disciples and grandchildren. I feel like I have become an old man." Qin Ye said calmly.

"Where, Ye Shen is only thirty years old now, and this age is the time when he is full of charm." Ye Chao boasted smoothly.

"Thank you, it's better for us to discuss the contestants." Although Qin Ye was born in the Dragon Yin Club, he was not infected by the atmosphere of cheeky boasting, and returned to the topic seriously.

Liang Ru couldn't help feeling a little touched—this great god is really reliable as a guest commentator, much more reliable than the nonsense Cheng Wei the day before yesterday.

"Ye Shen thinks, who has a better chance of winning this match?" Liang Ru immediately asked following his topic.

"Qin Mo and Nie Yuzhu, both sides have a chance of winning." Qin Ye calmly analyzed, "Nie Yuzhu has been the captain for several years, has rich experience in competitions, and has a stable mentality. Not as good as Team Nie, but Qin Mo's explosive power is stronger than Team Nie's. On the whole, the two players are evenly matched, and whoever wins depends on the performance on the spot."

"Ye Shen said it well! I think so too." Ye Chao called up the pre-match prediction channel, "60% of the netizens support Team Nie, and 40% support Team Qin. This is also because Nie Yuzhu has always been the manager of Tongque Club The captain, the popularity is very stable, and Qin Mo has lost many fans after three years of absence. But this support rate does not prove that the two are winning 6-4, in my opinion, this match should be 50-50."

"Well, it depends on who seizes the opportunity first." Liang Ru echoed, "The competition will start soon, so let's welcome the two contestants into the arena with warm applause!"

Qin Mo and Nie Yuzhu walked onto the big stage one after another. They shook hands friendlyly, and then went into the soundproof room and sat in front of the computer.

According to the usual practice, the cast point is made first, and Qin Mo will give priority to the map when he casts to 90 points.

Ye Chao asked: "Yeshen, based on your understanding of Qin Mo, what type of map do you think he will choose for this game?"

Qin Ye said without hesitation, "Aerial combat map."

Liang Ru said, "Can you tell me the reason?"

Qin Ye nodded: "Firstly, he is very confident in his positioning. Secondly, he has the ability to knock into the air, and he can use this ability to make some fuss."

It turned out that Qin Ye knew his little nephew very well, and the map Qin Mo submitted was indeed an air combat map—Ting Yuxuan.

This is a scene of the Tingyulou sect. The map used for the competition is part of the aerial terrain. Five bamboo buildings are built in the east, west, south, north, and center, and the bamboo buildings are made of bamboo boards. The bridges in the sky are connected by narrow bridges. There are three layers of upper, middle and lower layers of bridges in the sky. Layers of bridges appear and disappear in the drizzle, which looks like an illusion from a distance.

Since the bridge can only stand two people side by side at most, if you don’t pay attention, it is easy to step on the air when you are doing light work. People with fear of heights will get scared when they walk a few steps here, let alone on such a map. Playing on the game - the difficulty of this map has also reached seven stars.

After the game started, Qin Mo and Nie Yuzhu refreshed in the east and west bamboo buildings respectively, and they immediately rushed to the middle of the map along the bamboo bridge.

The drizzle made the surrounding vision very blurred, and the crisp sound of drizzle beating on the bamboo slices was all around my ears.

The swordsman "Mohen" was dressed in white like snow, and the disciple of Xuanbing Palace "Deep in the Bamboo Forest" was wearing a blue gown. The two came to the bamboo building in the middle with a few light kung fu jumps.

Shuanghuan's attack range was farther than Qin Mo's swordsman. At the moment they were about to meet, Nie Yuzhu made a decisive move—Shuanglong Xizhu, Shuanggui Lianfang!

The artifact "Double Cranes" in his hand was like a white crane flying with spread wings, quickly outflanking Qin Mo from left to right!

The big circle set a row of traps on the ground, and the small circle smashed towards Mohen like a violent storm. The double-ring combo moves like clouds and flowing water, forcing Mohen to be unable to move forward for a while.

Compared with Liu Hong's flexibility and maneuverability, Nie Yuzhu's fighting style is more powerful and domineering. His weapon "Double Crane" also adds critical strikes. This set of combos just triggered the critical strike effect. to 70%!

"Beautiful!" Qin Ye couldn't help praising when he saw this: "Team Nie played very calmly, relying on the advantage of attack distance to grab a wave of first moves, it depends on how Qin Mo handles it."

"If Qin Mo doesn't quickly find a way to reverse this situation, he will fall into an endless loop of being suppressed and beaten by his opponent," Ye Chao said.

"Well, maybe he will be beaten up by Team Nie's tricks until even his own mother doesn't know him." Qin Ye said bluntly.

—The same is a master, once the rhythm is controlled by the opponent, he will fall into an extremely passive situation.

Qin Mo knew this very well, and after Nie Yuzhu beat him up first, he immediately fought back.

- Fragrance of Sword Rain!

The first move was the big move of the secret book, the snow-white sword spirit descended from the sky, directly stunned Nie Yuzhu in place, and caused a lot of damage!

The blood volume in the depths of the bamboo forest has dropped to 75%, and there is still a dizzy effect on his body. Qin Mo followed up with a set of beautiful combos. , Swinging the sword into a river, a set of handsome combos, directly knocked the stunned "Deep Bamboo Forest" ten meters away!

Knocking up belongs to forced displacement control, and after being stunned, he couldn't dodge, so he was blown away by Mohen in the depths of the bamboo forest.

However, Nie Yuzhu's position just now was very tricky. He was standing at the intersection of the bamboo bridge in the sky. Even if Qin Mo knocked him into the air, he would not fall directly to his death. Fall from the bamboo bridge on the top floor to the middle floor.

Qin Mo also knew this, and couldn't help admiring Nie Yuzhu's calmness and carefulness from the bottom of his heart.

With this move, he didn't intend to kill Nie Yuzhu directly, but to interrupt Nie Yuzhu's rhythm of controlling the attack.

After knocking down the opponent on the bamboo bridge in the middle layer, Qin Mo immediately used lightness kung fu, a beautiful roc spread its wings, and landed on the bamboo bridge in the middle layer, and quickly hit a set of explosive combos -

End of the World with Sword, Sword Qi Xiaoxin, Sword Intent Wushuang!

As Qin Ye said, Qin Mo's explosive power is stronger than Nie Yuzhu's. After this combo, less than half of the blood left in the depths of the bamboo forest.

But at the same time, the dizzy control effect also ended, and Qin Mo immediately made up for the follow-up control—Tianyang Erlian!

The simplest and most useful group silence, Qin Mo's range also covers Nie Yuzhu's position just right.

However, after the combo, Nie Yuzhu was not silenced, but teleported to a place fifteen meters away from Mohen.

—He was stuck in time and flew out backwards!

The slow motion played by the director allowed the audience to clearly see his exquisite operation, and he was able to immediately fly upside down to interrupt Qin Mo's continuous control at a critical moment. Such a superior consciousness is worthy of being the old captain who was born in the Tongque Club.

Qin Mo's field control skills were empty, and he couldn't help admiring Nie Yuzhu's consciousness in his heart.

Less than a minute into the game, the two simply went through a few moves, but the tactics were changing rapidly, and those who didn't react fast enough couldn't keep up with their thinking.

Nie Yuzhu retreated lightly, and still stood very firmly on such a narrow bridge. After being stuck at a distance of fifteen meters, he made another shot with the ring in his hand—the rings are interlocking, the snake ring!

One after another, the small rings smashed towards Mo Hen's chest almost like a string of beads, followed by the big ring, biting like a spirit snake!

The small skill plus the damage of the locked big move reduced the blood volume of Mohen to 40% in one breath, and the blood volume in the depths of the bamboo forest was still 45% at this time.

The blood volume surpassed in an instant, and the fans of Team Nie began to applaud excitedly.

After being briefly controlled by Qin Mo, the rhythm of the game returned to Nie Yuzhu's hands.

He immediately seized the opportunity and burst out a full set of damage with a double ring combo.

Mohen's HP has dropped to 30%, but Qin Mo is not in a hurry because many of Nie Yuzhu's skills have entered cooldown.

He still has a big move that hasn't been used, it should be soon.

Qin Mo's eyes were fixed on the scene in front of him. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. It seemed that there was a torrential downpour. At this time, the knight in blue raised his wrist, and the double rings in his hands were almost about to strike, but Qin Mo, like a conditioned reflex, immediately slid the fingers of his right hand on the LCD panel, while holding down the light work button with his left hand, he pulled back suddenly!

I saw the blue-clothed knight suddenly moving forward, and the white-clothed swordsman seemed to have a tacit understanding, and suddenly retreated rapidly with light work.

- Floating!

Nie Yuzhu really activated the teleportation skill of Xuanbing Palace, his follow-up big move must be the unavoidable locking skill Leng Yuehuahun!

Mo Hen's current blood volume is not high, if he hits this set of explosive damage locking skills, he will fall into a very dangerous situation of residual blood.

Seeing this, Qin Ye couldn't help feeling anxious for Qin Mo, wishing he could run over to help his little nephew.

If this set of Dalian tricks is hit, it will be extremely difficult to turn the tide of the battle, but how will Qin Mo resolve it

Just when all the audience thought that Qin Mo was going to be chased by Nie Yuzhu to fight, Qin Mo suddenly made an unexpected operation.

The long sword in the white-clothed swordsman's hand pointed straight at the sky, and then - leaped ten meters straight into the sky.

Then, everyone saw the swordsman in white suddenly penetrated the bamboo bridge above his head, and teleported from the middle bamboo bridge to the upper level.

As the ink marks teleported through the air, Nie Yuzhu's sight was blocked by the bamboo bridge, and the moment he cast his ultimate move, he heard a system prompt in his ear: "Sorry, the target is out of sight."

Nie Yuzhu: "..."

Audiences:"… "

Even Qin Ye couldn't help laughing: "Well, what a witty Qin Mo, knowing that the straight-line light work can't avoid the opponent's locking big move, he directly flew through the bamboo bridge to the upper floor."

Ye Chao praised: "It is indeed the originator of Mohenliu's style of play. He raised the long sword just now not to use a big move, but to use the penetrating skill of the sword to penetrate the bridge above his head."

Liang Ru jokingly said: "In the world of the lonely world, there is really no place that Moshen can't penetrate."

What is piercing the ground? He can also pass through the bridge overhead!

At the beginning, Nie Yuzhu calculated the displacement so that Qin Mo's flying skills could not knock him down to the abyss under the bridge. Now, Qin Mo also calculated the distance, and just when Nie Yuzhu was about to use his big move, he flew to the bridge above his head Block the opponent's field of vision.

Nie Yuzhu's Dalian move was forcibly interrupted, and the rhythm of the game was controlled by Qin Mo.

You come and go, the duel between the two is really a tug-of-war that no one dares to relax!

Qin Ye said: "Nie Yuzhu won't use lightness kung fu to fly upwards for the time being, because Qin Mo's skill of swiping a sword into a river has already been cooled down. If he flies up rashly, he will face the risk of being repelled."

Ye Chao agreed: "Yes, if you don't calculate the distance well, you may not be so lucky if you are repelled this time. If you shoot directly into the abyss under the bridge, you will be thrown to death."

On the bamboo bridge on the top floor, Qin Mo stood still and carefully observed his surroundings.

On the bamboo bridge in the middle layer, Nie Yuzhu ran quickly from east to west. Due to the obstruction of the bridge in the air, neither of them could see the other's position. In the bamboo building, he climbed up the stairs in the bamboo building to the bamboo bridge on the top floor, and he was standing right behind Qin Mo!

The audience was so tense at this moment that they even held their breath.

Qin Mo couldn't see Nie Yuzhu in his field of vision now. Nie Yuzhu cleverly changed direction and climbed up from the bamboo building in the west to stand behind him.

But Qin Mo has been frequently turning the angle of view, and will soon find Nie Yuzhu's position.

Did Team Nie succeed in sneaking first, or did Qin Mo discover the opponent first

The opportunity is only at this moment!

Without hesitation, Nie Yuzhu flew straight out with lightness kung fu, the knight in blue flew behind the swordsman, pointed the double rings in his hand at the middle of his back and threw it out decisively—Leng Yuehuahun!

The lock-on technique that cannot be dodged will cause huge damage, and if it is connected with the follow-up skills, it is enough to kill the opponent with a combo!

However, at the moment when Shuanghuan struck, Qin Mo immediately turned around as if he had eyes behind his back, and decisively struck out combos with the long sword in his hand—Jian Jian Tian Ya, Jian Yu Setting Sun!

Tianyang Erlian's silence silenced Nie Yuzhu in place.

Qin Mo immediately took two steps back to adjust the angle, and then launched a repelling combo of fighting the sword to the end of the world and swiping the sword into a river!

A snow-white sword light surged like a river, knocking out the "Deep Bamboo Forest" in an instant—

This time Qin Mo calculated the angle, and the knight in blue fell from the bamboo bridge and disappeared into the bottomless abyss in the rainstorm.

—[Mohen] killed [Deep Bamboo Forest]!

The moment this news popped up, Xiao Han who was sitting in the background also heaved a long sigh of relief.

It was really thrilling, if Xiao Mo's reaction was a little slower by 0.5 seconds, once Nie Yuzhu controlled him, he would be the one to die.

However, Qin Mo was keenly aware of Nie Yuzhu's intentions at the critical moment, took advantage of the timing of the opponent's attack, turned the defense into an offense, and sealed the victory with one move, which was very easy to win!

A rare smile appeared on Qin Ye's lips, and he said, "This air battle was very exciting. Qin Mo won in the end because he predicted Nie Yuzhu's position at the critical moment."

Ye Chao wondered: "Qin Mo couldn't see Team Nie at all from his angle of view just now. How did he judge that Nie Yuzhu would come up from the bamboo building in the east instead of the south or north from the west?"

Qin Ye said, "He can't see, but he can hear."

Liang Ru said in surprise, "Are you hearing footsteps?"

Qin Ye said: "We also discovered just now that the environment of this map will change from drizzle to heavy rain. It is difficult to hear the footsteps under the cover of the rain, especially when Nie Yuzhu is still using the light kung fu, it is even more difficult to judge his position. Qin Ye Mo's sense of hearing is sharper than the average person's. He has obviously studied the listening and positioning in the game, and has his own experience with the sounds of different rain scenes. I believe that it is not a coincidence but an inevitability that he judged Nie Yuzhu's position at the last moment. "

Although Qin Ye doesn't like to boast, it is still necessary to praise his little nephew, because Qin Ye knows that Qin Mo must have put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes to be able to do this.

Players who work so hard have won applause and praise.

This sentence made the audience finally realize that Qin Mo was able to listen to the sound and argue in the scene of heavy rain, which is terrible!

Everyone usually doesn't pay much attention to the influence of the environment and light when playing games, but Qin Mo's research on this game has obviously reached an extremely in-depth and thorough level.

Nie Yuzhu really deserved to lose this round!

Moshen can surprise everyone every time he competes, he is really a serious and hardworking player!
