Fantasy Westward Journey: Return to 2005

Chapter 1445: Completely opposite atmosphere, the semi-finals begin!
At the same time, in the 2008 lounge.

“I actually got it…”

Looking at the draw and ban results displayed on the screen in the room, Li Qing and the others looked at each other, all a little surprised for a moment.

But after the accident, everyone's expressions suddenly became serious.

If you ask them who they most want to face in the semi-finals, it would undoubtedly be Zhu Zifang, Abai's old boss.

Now that the boss has successfully helped them realize their dreams, it would be a waste of the boss's kindness if they don't do a great job.

"Okay, without further ado, let's start arranging the lineup right away."

After taking a final look at the semi-final group, Abai completed the ban and returned to the locker room without stopping. He clapped his hands in front of everyone and prepared to start preparations for the semi-finals.

He was very clear in his mind the moment this group appeared.

It is estimated that the entire fantasy world has been looking forward to the showdown between 2008 and Zhu Zifang.

As the center of this feud, he has to show his utmost concentration and strength to live up to the expectations of his boss and the audience!

Of course, the most important thing is that, for him, it is time to settle the grievances with Zhu Zifang.

In this way, as the four teams were busy preparing for the competition, time unknowingly came to nine fifty.

As soon as the time came, the four teams of contestants immediately appeared in the corridor, and then followed the staff and quickly walked towards the stage.

What’s interesting is that the crucial All-Star Four match is about to begin.

However, the states displayed by the players of the four teams are completely different.

The five members of the Bianliang City team, led by Shouye, were chatting and laughing, and even took the time to tease Xilang and the others who were following behind them. They looked so relaxed that you would have thought they were here for a picnic.

The Xilang people from Gusu City who followed behind them smiled apologetically the whole time, but their expressions looked somewhat bitter.

When they learned that their Gusu City’s opponent in the top four this time was Bianliang City again.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xilang and the others really wanted to die at that time.

How powerful is Bianliang City? How could Xilang and his companions, who had played against them once in the quarterfinals yesterday, possibly know?

As the opponent had already let the opponent win as much as possible, Gusu City could only hold on for 13 rounds before being swept out.

Now the two sides met again in the semi-finals. From the moment the groups were drawn, Xilang and his team knew that their Gusu City was most likely gone...

But on second thought, the fact that Gusu City was able to advance to the semi-finals this time was an opportunity given by Bianliang City.

The opportunity was given by others. Now that Gusu City has achieved its goal, it is only right for them to return the favor and send Bianliang City to the finals.

So after thinking all this through, the mood of the people in Gusu City was no longer so heavy.

Since you can't win, just treat it as having fun.

Not to mention that from the top four lineup of Bianliang City this time, it can be seen that the opponent actually has the mentality of playing casually, otherwise they would not have not even sent out Qiancheng, but let Shouye lead the team.

Since Bianliang City wants to play, then they in Gusu City can only sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman and cooperate with the other party as much as possible to put on a good show...

Compared to the extremely relaxed players from Bianliang City and Gusu City, the other two groups of players, 2008 and Zhuzifang, were obviously much more serious.

The matchup between their group is bound to attract much attention, not to mention that the core players of both teams are enemies.

With the two teams evenly matched on paper, it can be said that there was no reason for either side to lose the game.

No matter who loses, they will inevitably be stepped into the abyss by the other party!
So, before the game even started, the pressure on both sides was already high.

Under such circumstances, they naturally couldn't be as cheerful as those contestants from Bianliang City and Gusu City, and it was considered that they had exercised restraint that they didn't fight in the corridor on the spot.

In this strange atmosphere filled with laughter and gun smoke, the four teams finally walked out of the aisle and stepped onto the stage one by one.

As soon as the contestant came on stage, the audience who had been waiting for a long time started cheering!
"Here it comes, it's about to begin!"

"Hey? What's going on in Bianliang City? Where did Brother Cheng go?"

"Nonsense, he must have been slacking off in the background again! I actually believed he had turned over a new leaf yesterday, damn me..."

"Look at Beast Master's bared front teeth. I really want to punch him. I don't know what he is laughing at."

"The Gusu City lineup hasn't changed much. Are they planning to lay low?"

"It can be seen from their state that the people from Gusu City and Bianliang City are very relaxed. I guess they just agreed to come here for formalities."

"Indeed, anyway, no one knows that Gusu City can't beat Bianliang City even if it tries hard, so just have fun."

What first caught the audience's attention was the status of the players from Bianliang City and Gusu City.

Just as they said, although it was a crucial semi-final match, the players of these two teams looked more relaxed than the other.

There could only be one reason for this situation, that is, Gusu City is lying flat, and Bianliang City does not intend to kill it, so it is very likely that both sides will have to fight it out in this semi-final battle.

If it were any other team, they would have slid down on their knees before the game even started, and all the spectators would have had their brains spat out.

But if you say that the opponent is Bianliang City, then it is understandable.

There's nothing you can do about it, the audience is just so hypocritical.

Of course, this double standard is not intentional on their part.

It was really that the people of Bianliang City had no martial ethics and used a series of brutal massacres to subdue everyone.

Since there was nothing interesting to see in Gusu City and Bianliang City, everyone's attention quickly turned to 2008 and Zhu Zifang.

"Oh my god, your expression is so serious!"

"Those who know that these two teams are here to play a game, those who don't would think they are going to fight each other offline."

"That's right! A grudge match should be played like a grudge match. We can't just laugh on stage like those two idiots."

"Come on, Abai, you must get back everything you lost!"

"Forget it! As the old saying goes, you can defy the will of heaven, but you can't survive the consequences of your own actions. Why was he kicked out at that time? Don't you fans have any idea?"

"According to what you said, all the commanders who lost to Bianliang City should just get fired, right?"

"Really? Look at how awesome you are. People who don't know would think Zhu Zi Fang's record is so impressive. But it's actually just a colored pen!"

"Fuck you! Wait, wait, do you want a one-on-one fight?!"

"Come on, come on..."

When I saw the extremely serious expressions of the players from Team 2008 and Zhu Zifang on the stage.

The mentality of the fans of the two major teams below the stage was also affected. They became more and more irritable and were willing to fight at the slightest disagreement.

Fortunately, thanks to the lesson learned yesterday when the Ming family aroused public anger and was almost beaten up, the security force on the scene has been significantly increased today.

The two teams of fans who were clamoring for a one-on-one duel were immediately taken out by two groups of security guards before they could even start fighting, and were told to come back after they calmed down.

The dispute was resolved by the authorities before it even started, and after the contestants appeared on the stage, they were guided by the staff and sat down in front of their computers.

Compared to yesterday, there are half as many computers on the stage today. After all, we are already in the top four.

But even though there are fewer computers, the stage does not seem empty.

The official had obviously arranged it carefully. Apart from the players and computers, other places on the stage were occupied by various fantasy-related elements. At first glance, the atmosphere of the competition was even more intense than yesterday.

Sitting in front of the computer, Ah Bai took a deep breath and glanced at the people in Zhuzifang opposite him. Unexpectedly, he met a pair of eyes.

The owner of this pair of eyes is 'Non-Human￠Xiao Yu', the commander-in-chief of this Zhu Zifang team, who was hired from a foreign server at a high price by the Zhu Zifang team a few months ago.

The two looked at each other, and Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, but then he curled the corners of his mouth and smiled at Abai.

There is no warmth in this smile. It can be called a smile, but it is more like a sneer.

Abai knew very well that the opponent's smile before the game was intended to provoke him.

But he knew better that he was the conductor of 2008, and no matter how the outside world interfered, he could not lose his mentality.

This is the quality that a top conductor should have.

Turning his gaze back to the screen expressionlessly, Abai had no intention of playing any tricks on the opponent. After putting on his headphones, he began to direct his teammates to gather in the lounge.

After a while, everyone gathered in the lounge.

Ah Bai thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Brother Guo will be the captain this time, everyone else should quickly transform and join the team!"

As he spoke, Abai came to the God of War box, opened it, glanced at the transformation cards inside, and then decisively took out a mechanical beast card.

With a quick click of the mouse, Abai completed the transformation, found the fairy controlled by Guo Yi, who had transformed into a ghost general, and directly applied to join the team.

That’s right, turning the fairy into a ghost general was the tactic they had agreed upon.

Soon, when everyone joined the team, the captain Guo Yi opened the team list and suddenly changed the formation to the 'Tiger Wing Formation'!
2008 was the same as Bianliang City. In the previous matches, almost eight out of ten games started with wind formation.

This makes many opponents always think that they will continue to use the wind formation in the next game, and thus develop tactics targeting this point.

But after being targeted again and again, the result was that most of these teams eventually gave up on targeting and started playing the wind formation like them.

And the biggest reason for this is.

The playing styles of these two teams were erratic, always changing their formations suddenly when their opponents least expected it, and then the lineups that should have been a big blow to their opponents ended up being a blow to themselves.

For example, right now, after opening so many wind formations, Abai suddenly chose to change the formation.

I just don’t know if Zhu Zifang on the opposite side can predict their move.

Soon after changing the formation, Guo Yi quickly adjusted the positions of the team members. After making sure everything was ready, he waited quietly for the game to begin.

Two minutes later, as the time came to ten o'clock in the morning, under the expectant gaze of countless viewers online and offline.

The offline semi-finals of the third All-Star Martial God Arena has finally officially kicked off!
As the battle began, the lights in the venue dimmed instantly as usual, and the screens in the center of the stage and on both sides of the hall lit up at the same time.

What excited the audience was that the officials obviously knew who the protagonist of this semi-final would be.

At this moment, the main screen shows the battle between the old rivals in 2008 and Zhu Zifang!

"Not bad, not bad. The authorities are really becoming more and more sensible."

"Wait, 2008 changed their formation! They actually opened a... Tiger Wing Formation?"

"Zhu Zi Fang also opened the Tiger Formation. It seems that both commanders are trying to catch the other side's Wind Formation, but no one has caught it."

"Turtle, there are so many intrigues in such a small formation. This duel is going to be interesting..."

"The lineup for 2008 is really violent. The rich woman is banned, so the fairies and the fairy maidens form the Power Demon Twin Palace, plus the demon king the goblin. It's really good and violent!"

"The key is that the fairy turned into a ghost general, but Zhu Zifang Datang also turned into a ghost general. I want to see who can explode more."

"It's a pity that Zhu Zi Fang's Huasheng was banned, otherwise the Tang Dynasty would be even more violent..."

"Let's get started, brothers can't wait!"

As the lineups of 2008 and Zhu Zifang appeared on the main screen, some viewers with rich experience in watching games immediately started to analyze the similar lineups, which sounded reasonable at first glance.

While the audience was engaging in various discussions regarding the two teams' lineups.

As the 30-second countdown at the top of the screen disappeared, the battle between the old enemies finally began!
When the battle started, the Demon King 'Fairy' of 2008 raised his hand and cast a calming spell on himself first.

But who would have thought that just as the fairy had finished casting the Calming Spell, the Demon King of Zhuzifang, 'Non-Human ￠Cai'er', immediately raised his hand and cast the Calming Spell on himself as well!

The demon kings on both sides actually started with a focused attack, which made many viewers excited.

Yes, yes, that’s it, we need to be full of gunpowder from the beginning!
Soon, just as the demon kings on both sides had calmed down, it was Abai's turn to take action next.

Death call——

It was Ah Bai's turn to attack. The dragon turtle in front of him rushed forward and cast a death summon, attacking Zhu Zifang's Fang Cun 'Non-Human￠Xiao Yu'!
-
34!

A death summon came down, and the inhuman￠Xiao Yu groaned. It didn't trigger any protection, and he took the skill with his body.

However, he seemed to be a little unlucky. The first death summons from Abai's dragon turtle actually covered his feet with a layer of poisonous mist.

When Abai's dragon turtle returned to the queue, the dragon turtle in front of Xiaoyu, who was not human, also rushed forward and rushed straight towards Abai!
-
31!

A death summon came down, and the Ah Bai who were also unprotected groaned, and a trace of painless damage floated above their heads.

Both sides actually targeted each other directly at the beginning, which surprised many viewers.

I know you have a grudge against each other, but there's no reason for you to start fighting like this, right?

And soon, after the non-human￠Xiaoyu’s dragon turtle returned to the team.

When it was Ah Bai's turn, he immediately used a soul-losing talisman, but his target was not the fastest non-human ￠Xiao Yu in Zhu Zifang, but their Wuzhuang 'Non-human ￠Temptation'!
A soul-losing talisman fell down, and in front of many people's surprised gazes, they saw that Zhu Zifang's second-speed sealing system was sealed on the spot by him.

At the same time, just as Abai finished his attack, Xiaoyu, a free man from the non-human world, raised his hand. Instead of choosing to seal the person, he suddenly sent out a pale paper man to create a life-saving shield for himself.
