Chapter 375: Chapter 136: The Troops Have Yet to Move, but the Game is Already Afoot! The Frenzied Pre-Match Jockeying of Chinese and Korean Players!_4

Yet the situation continued to escalate.

After the third Longsword strike, Clear Rain couldn’t maintain the stiffness lock any longer.

With any weapon’s Ordinary Attack, stiffness would gradually decrease with each strike; otherwise, it would result in numerous infinite combos and disrupt game balance.

Unable to sustain the stiffness after the third hit, Clear Rain directed Brand to slightly bend his knees and crouch before leaping high into the air.

Rising Dragon with the Longsword!

Brand twisted gracefully in midair, lifting Walnut into the air with the edge of his blade.

Being airborne, Walnut still couldn’t retaliate!

Then, Clear Rain, with sharp eyes and quick hands, followed up with another Longsword Ordinary Attack in midair.

His blade traced a cross-shaped X, slashing Walnut with two consecutive attacks.

As both were about to land, Clear Rain took a small hop and executed another aerial Cut Down.

Another cross-shaped X Ordinary Attack followed, culminating with a hefty jump Cut Down, as Brand wielded his Longsword forcefully towards the ground.

This combo shaved off another chunk of Walnut’s health bar, concluding the entire sequence of moves!

The combo had ended.

But at that moment, both live streaming rooms just exploded!!

Question marks flooded the screen en masse, rolling in densely packed waves!

"Fuck???"

"What the heck?? What’s this??"

"Damn it! Are we sword qi dogs supposed to witness this sort of Longsword combo?"

"That’s just ridiculous! Can you even play Longsword like this?? I’ve played for half a month and never knew about these combos..."

"That’s a bit too much, isn’t it? An entire bar of gold armor gone in one set, if it had been blue armor, Walnut would be dead by now, unable to even cast a skill..."

"Damn impressive, man! Clear Rain, where did you conjure up that move?"

Water’s streaming audience also reacted vehemently.

"Fuck! Is this guy cheating?!"

"How can he interrupt the dodge ending lag with an Ordinary Attack?"

"I’ve played 300 matches and never seen an Ordinary Attack that can interrupt a dodge!"

"Investigate this!"

No wonder the viewers were so intensely reactive.

The entire process had lasted nearly five seconds!

During those five full seconds, Water didn’t have any means to fight back!

His gold armor was forcibly stripped away by Clear Rain’s combo!

Extra damage even spilled over, showing on Walnut’s health bar.

Walnut, from being fully healthy, had now dropped to about 4/5 of his original health.

Up until that point, aside from Brand’s tossing, no hero or weapon had been able to immobilize someone for five whole seconds.

Even Water’s expression was one of shock.

He couldn’t believe what he had just seen.

But the match was not over yet, he was just getting up from the ground.

He saw that Clear Rain, with sword in hand, was already charging towards him.

It was the familiar charging up!

But Water was a bit too wary to gamble now.

He had just had a taste of defeat!

This bastard could feint attack!

It might look like he’s charging, but as long as the blue charge isn’t released before the first stage (the creation of Sword Qi) with the white light, letting go of the mouse would still result in an Ordinary Attack.

You watch someone charge up, then foolishly Waving Swords around.

And then, they simply shift to an A and hit you during your stiffness.

That’d be a mess.

With his mind in disarray, Water, close to being at full health as Walnut, felt an imminent threat of death and used his ultimate.

Healing Array instantly activated at his feet.

And as it turned out, he had not miscalculated his ult.

Clear Rain didn’t shift to an A this time but directly released Sword Qi!

With Water’s mind in chaos, his Waving Swords slowed, his brain was nearly paralyzed by the hits.

The Sword Qi grazed the lit red lights, knocking Walnut away.

Luckily, he landed on the edge of the Healing Array, bringing his diminished health back to full once more.

Clear Rain pressed forward relentlessly, closing the distance with swift strides, continuing to charge up!

Water, having been battered into confusion, instinctively resorted to desperate Waving Swords in self-defense.

But this time, it was a charge into an A!

Clear Rain was back to his old tricks, smoothly running through the familiar set of Longsword AAA+ Rising Dragon+ Air A+ Jump A+ Cut Down.

The hefty damage dealt, despite the presence of the Healing Array, wasn’t enough to rescue Walnut.

The once leading national server player, under everyone’s watchful eyes, was almost completely powerless before dying.

Helping Clear Rain secure his already top position in the rankings!

Where previously both live streams had been abuzz, they now displayed complete opposites.

In Clear Rain’s streaming room, the comments section was bustling like a market before New Year’s Eve, filled with "Fuck", "Awesome", and "666" scrolling across the screen.

Mr. A from the live streaming circle honored his promise, immediately sending ten Fire Arrows in Clear Rain’s live stream room.

By contrast, Water’s streaming room was as quiet as a library.

The Korean fans, who had been clamoring about smashing Huaxia players earlier, were now silent.

Only a few stray comments floated by, but they were things like "What was that just now? So cool" and "Kind of want to learn."

Water had lost his previous arrogance.

He stared blankly at the screen for a long while like a deflated dog before turning off his stream with a dark expression.

The first thing he did after ending the stream was not to do anything else.

But to use a VPN to access the Huaxia’s Shark Platform.

He used a translator to find Clear Rain’s live stream room.

Laying in wait like a hunter!

Because.

That silky set of Longsword combos had not just stupefied the Korean players.

Water wanted to learn it too!

As the one on the receiving end, he knew better than anyone the exaggeration of that combo!

Could Huaxia players really have developed such a badass fighting style on their own?

However, Water had previously made demeaning remarks about Huaxia players and was even insolent on social media.

He had stated that all techniques used by Huaxia players in "Eternity" came from Korea.
