The King's Return

At 07:30 that night, the main stadium was full of seats. The warm-up host before the game was drawing prizes to mobilize the atmosphere. The players cheered, their expressions looked very excited.

The battle is about to begin, and Qin Mo and Xiao Han, who were preparing in the background, looked extraordinarily calm.

Except for Lin Shuangcheng who was recuperating in the hospital and Xiao Song who stayed by his side to take care of him, the other contestants who participated in the individual competition all came to the backstage to watch the match. Obviously, everyone also wanted to witness this historic moment with their own eyes.

This duel is indeed of extraordinary significance in the e-sports circle.

As early as many years ago, when Xiao Han was just brought back to China by his master Li Cangyu, he had faced Qin Mo in the regular season, because their masters were both top gods in the league, and the duel between the two teenagers also sparked excitement in the e-sports circle. In the end, Qin Mo relied on his rich experience to defeat the fledgling Xiao Han.

Later, Xiao Han and Qin Mo gradually became old enemies—the same family background, the same apprenticeship from world-class masters, and the same mission to lead the team in the future. The two rising stars have always been compared by people. It means that they are the two most talented new stars, and it also symbolizes that they must take over from their master and become the pillars of the new generation of the two powerful teams.

The two played against each other many times after their master retired, winning and losing.

Later, Qin Mo's unexpected departure interrupted the legend of Gemini, and Xiao Han's personality changed drastically. The story about "Gemini" has become a long-lasting legend in the e-sports circle.

Now that Qin Mo has returned, he is no longer the successor of the Fengse Club, and he no longer controls his summoner. Instead, he has become the swordsman in white, Mohen, and the captain of the Mojue team.

But today's battle with Xiao Han seemed to be fateful and unavoidable.

Before retiring, Fengse and Canglan faced each other, and Qin Mo was defeated by Xiao Han. At that time, he once said: "Next season, I will definitely win against you."

Too bad there is no next season.

It has been three years since he returned to the game.It is hard for everyone to predict the outcome of this three-year-late duel, but what is certain is that the two of them will definitely do their best to leave the alliance with a classic battle of the century.

***

At [-]:[-], the lottery draw ended, and the screen of the commentary finally appeared on the live broadcast screen.

"Good evening, audience friends, this is the finals of the first professional league individual event of Dubu Jianghu! I am the commentator Ye Chao." Ye Chao paused and smiled, "You may be wondering where Liang Ru is going. Is it? There is no way, because tonight's commentary stand can't seat so many people, so Liang Ru takes a break for a while."

Liang Ru was not there, but there were three people sitting on the commentary stage, which meant that there would be two guest commentators tonight.In order to broadcast the effect, the lights of the guest's location were turned off, and there were only two blurred figures.

"There are two guest commentators tonight!" Ye Chao made a fool of himself, "Can everyone guess who they are?"

This sentence immediately exploded in the barrage area, and many fans were screaming: "Ahhh, you two, it can't be Lingmao?!" "How is it possible, it has disappeared for three years!" Great God, please come?" "Lingmao appears at the same time, how much does it cost to appear?! The Dubu Alliance is so rich?"

After the barrage was maxed out, Ye Chao finally smiled and said: "We are very honored to have invited two heavyweight guests as commentators for this game. Please say hello to everyone!"

As soon as Ye Chao finished speaking, all the lights in the commentary room were finally turned on, and the two people sitting on the commentary stage showed Lushan's true colors at the same time. One of them had a handsome smile, handsome and friendly appearance; Gods—they are Xiao Han and Qin Mo's masters, Li Cangyu and Ling Xuefeng!

The screams at the scene suddenly increased by a decibel, almost bursting the eardrums. Even Qin Mo and Xiao Han sitting in the background were startled by the terrifying screams.

Seeing the face appearing on the big screen, Xiao Han suddenly had a headache: "Is this intentional for the alliance? Invite the masters to be the commentators..."

Qin Mo's heart tightened as well, he never expected that the Dubu Alliance's ruthless move at the last moment would actually be able to invite these two giant gods!

Li Cangyu greeted everyone with a smile: "Hi everyone."

Ling Xuefeng said lightly: "Long time no see."

——It’s been a long time.

Qin Mo has retired for three years, and these two have also been in hiding for almost three years. It is said that Li Cangyu has been looking for delicious fish all over the world during these three years. Ling Xuefeng accompanied him to travel around the world, and his life is quite chic.

Ye Chao asked curiously: "Can you invite the two of you to come together as guest commentators? I'm really curious how much the league paid you for appearances?"

Li Cangyu said frankly: "I don't want an appearance fee, as long as the chairman treats me to fish."

Ling Xuefeng said: "By the way, let's take a look at the apprentice."

In other words, the two who have retired for a long time are willing to come to the scene in person, just to witness the confrontation between the two apprentices that has been delayed for three full years!

Ye Chao couldn't help but be moved by their concern for the apprentice: "You two are really giving the apprentice face! However, once you are here, Xiao Han and Qin Mo should be under more pressure, right?"

Ling Xuefeng said calmly: "Excellent players should turn pressure into motivation. If they lose their standard because of our presence, they are not worthy of being our apprentices."

Li Cangyu echoed with a smile: "That's right, Master is watching the battle. They should fight more intensely. They will definitely not let us down."

Today's Xiao Han and Qin Mo have the ability to create their own Mo Jue team. They are no longer the teenagers who needed the care of the master. Their psychological quality is also strong enough, and they will not be out of order because of the presence of the master.

For them, Master's arrival is just icing on the cake, making this confrontation more meaningful.

Hearing this in the background, Qin Mo and Xiao Han also looked at each other and smiled.

Ye Chao asked: "The two apprentices know themselves very well, who do you prefer in this match?"

Li Cangyu took the lead and said: "I also taught Xiaomo back then, Qin Mo is my half-disciple, I will not favor any side in this duel, show my own strength, and the important thing is to play well."

Ling Xuefeng nodded: "Well, the cat god is right."

Ye Chao: "..."

The two masters have an attitude of "watching the show"!Don't you even support your apprentice?

***

When the time came to 55:[-], under the strong expectation of the audience, the lights of the big stage were finally turned on, and the two contestants walked to the middle of the stage together and hugged each other.

This friendly hug immediately erupted into applause like a tide.

With a rare smile on Xiao Han's face, he leaned into Qin Mo's ear and said, "Master is watching, come on."

Qin Mo said calmly, "You too."

After embracing, the two of them went to the soundproof room and turned on the computer. Xiao Han used the traditional keyboard and mouse control mode, while Qin Mo used the LCD control panel provided by Dubujianghu. The two quickly adjusted the equipment, logged in to the account, Confirm with the referee that it is time to start.

The referee issued a prompt to throw the dice.

Xiao Han voted 66 points, Qin Mo followed closely, and it was also 66 points...

The audience burst out laughing, a row of "6666" appeared on the screen, and some fans said, "You can cast the same number of votes, don't you two come here wearing a pair of pants?!"

Ye Chao couldn't help but said: "The system is such a coincidence that the points are cast, and the same points are cast, it seems that the system also recognizes the tacit understanding between the two of them!"

This is the first time this situation has appeared, and the referee is very helpless: "Start again."

This time Xiao Han cast 88 points, Qin Mo scored 85 points, and Xiao Han with slightly higher points gave priority to the selection of pictures.

Ye Chao said: "Prioritizing the map actually has certain advantages. After all, the home map is easier to win. If you win the next round first, it will be much easier to fight later."

Li Cangyu said: "The truth is true, but I believe that with their psychological quality, no matter whether they win or lose the first game, it will not have much impact on the subsequent games. They are still very good at adjusting their mentality."

Ye Chao nodded in agreement: "The cat god thinks, what type of map will Xiao Han choose?"

Li Cangyu said: "Xiao Han is good at sneak attacks, and the possibility of choosing the maze map at home is relatively high. I hope he won't slap me in the face as a master."

As a result, the map submitted by Xiao Han was quickly enlarged on the screen - the ruins of the Sword God Valley.

Ye Chao smiled: "Your apprentice really slapped you in the face. This map is not a maze, but an ordinary field map."

Li Cangyu touched his face helplessly: "It seems that the apprentice has grown up, and I really don't understand him more and more."

Ling Xuefeng saw through Xiao Han's actions at a glance, and said, "This map should have special meaning to him."

The significance is that the first time he cooperated with Qin Mo in the game was in the ruins of the Sword God Valley, and it was also that cooperation that allowed him to recognize the true identity of Mohen, which is why he later teamed up with Qin Mo to create Mojue.

Of course, it is a competition after all, Xiao Han did not choose the map blindly to commemorate - the map of the ruins of the Sword God Valley is very dimly lit, there are broken walls everywhere, and there are many dilapidated thatched houses, no matter the color or the scene, it is very beautiful. Suitable for assassins to play.

Qin Mo understood Xiao Han's thoughts the moment he saw the map. Firstly, he used this map to commemorate the scene where the two met each other. Second, he could use the map for ambushes and sneak attacks—the dimly lit map is just right for the assassin The perfect combination of black clothes, the assassin would be hard to guard against if he attacked the opponent in the dark night scene.

The two pressed the confirmation button one after another, and the game finally officially started.

At the beginning of the game, Xiao Han used the light skill of "Missing the Valley" to be invisible. Obviously, he wanted to take advantage of the assassin's ability to observe the opponent stealthily.

The white-clothed swordsman approached from a distance, but the black-clothed assassin was hidden in the thatched hut, and the distance between the two gradually narrowed——

And at the moment when Qianli Bingfeng suddenly jumped behind Mohen, and the dagger in his hand stabbed straight at the opponent's back, Mohen turned around suddenly, and a group attack combo of "Sword Sword Tianya" and "Sword Rain and Setting Sun" crushed the opponent Silence, and at the same time, Xiao Han immediately used the skill of "Golden Cicada Escape Shell" to get out of control.

As a result, no one was able to take advantage of it. Xiao Han's stealth and sneak attack skills were missed, and Qin Mo's reaction was so fast that the audience was shocked.

Ye Chao couldn't help but said: "Xiao Han was in an invisible state just now, how could Qin Mo notice it?"

Li Cangyu praised: "Because he is very smart. According to the time, terrain, and Xiao Han's usual habits, it can be deduced that Xiao Han is hiding in the house, and he is ready to counterattack in advance."

Qin Mo had indeed speculated about Xiao Han's course of action, which depended entirely on their understanding of each other over the years.

On such a map, Xiao Han will definitely come in stealth to take the lead, and it is necessary to prevent the opponent's first attack from bursting out.

But to Qin Mo's surprise, after Xiao Han forcibly broke out of control in "Escape the Shell of the Golden Cicada", he immediately used the big move "Shenlong Wuying" to become invisible again!

Generally speaking, Xiao Han would not use his big move until the late stage of the game, but today, he actually made a big move at the beginning of the game. Obviously, because the opponent was Qin Mo, who knew him very well, he also temporarily changed his tactical thinking.

An assassin who turns invisible is quite terrifying, Qin Mo almost realized that Xiao Han was invisible and immediately retreated with light kungfu——

He had to get out of Xiao Han's attack range and delay the time of Shenlong Wuying's big move.

However, he retreated quickly, and Xiao Han chased even faster!

——Thousand lights ghost step!

This skill has become Xiao Han's sharp weapon for chasing opponents. The black-clothed assassin suddenly split into five afterimages. In the dark night, the five black afterimages suddenly surrounded them from different directions like the wind. Faster than the assassin himself, he caught up with the white-clothed swordsman in a blink of an eye, and following closely behind, five afterimages raised their daggers at the same time, stabbing Mohen's chest mercilessly!

All of a sudden, blood splashed everywhere, and under the premise of the bonus of Shenlong's ultimate move, the damage caused by the skill of Qiandeng Ghost Step alone is quite terrifying!

Xiao Han's hand speed was extremely fast, and Qiandeng Guibu succeeded in one blow. He immediately followed up with Liuyue Feixing's rearward attack, and then followed up with the assassin's strongest single-target attack skill, Ice Silkworm lore!

A set of bursts was played, and Mo Hen's blood volume was directly suppressed by half by him!

All this happened within ten seconds, and the audience felt terrible when they saw this. Even if an expert like Qin Mo faced Xiao Han, if he couldn't avoid his big stealth move, the price he would pay would be quite heavy.

Half of the blood was knocked out in the blink of an eye, which was a bad start.

Qin Mo didn't expect that Xiao Han would unceremoniously fight him hard as soon as he came up, and didn't even give him the slightest room to turn around. Obviously, Xiao Han played for real in today's game, this is Xiao Han Real strength!

Li Cangyu couldn't help feeling a little anxious: "Xiao Han beat you too hard!"

Ling Xuefeng was still very calm: "If you can't make a stealth attack, immediately use your big move to stealth and explode. With his style, there should be follow-up output."

The explosion of the big move will cause considerable damage, but the flaws are also obvious. After this wave of explosion, Xiao Han's big skills Qiandeng Ghost Step, Ice Silkworm Lore and Flying Moon Flying Star will all be in a cooling state. , leaving only the mid-range hidden weapon skill Changhong Guanri.

As Ling Xuefeng said, with Xiao Han's style, since he explodes, the damage will be dealt to the extreme.

Sure enough, Xiao Han immediately launched Changhong Guanri's ranged hidden weapon attack——

However, Qin Mo flew ten meters upside down with lightness kung fu!

Due to the inertia of the attack, Xiao Han's "Changhong Piercing the Sun" still hit Mohen's back, but Qin Mo flew ten meters upside down, cleverly avoiding this skill.

Qin Mo reacted very quickly, and Ling Xuefeng felt very relieved that he was not hit by Xiao Han's follow-up combo.

But the situation is still not optimistic. Mohen currently only has 50% of his health left, and Qianli Frozen was only knocked out by Qin Mo's silent combo at the beginning. 90% of his health seems very safe.

Sensing that Qin Mo was retreating in the opposite direction, Xiao Han immediately turned around and chased after him——

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the white-clothed swordsman stepping into a dilapidated thatched cottage, but when he chased him near the thatched cottage, Xiao Han unexpectedly discovered that the other party had disappeared?

This unexpected discovery made the audience very confused, until Ye Chao pointed out the key point: "Qin Mo brought a secret book of invisibility."

Li Cangyu praised: "Xiaomo's idea is good."

Knowing that Xiao Han was going to assassinate in stealth, Qin Mo also brought a stealth cheat book on the stage, anti-stealth interrupted the opponent's rhythm at critical moments, and bought himself a chance.

Ye Chao introduced: "The cheat book brought by Qin Mo is called "The Holy Scroll of No Trace". It comes from the difficult challenge mission of Eternal Night City. The effect of the cheat book is to enter the invisible state for 10 seconds during the battle." He paused Dun, then continued, "Because there are many kinds of cheats in the unique world, the most popular ones are group attack and group control cheats. Like this kind of cheats that can only be invisible for 10 seconds, it is very weak to many experts and is not worth it." It occupies the only cheat skill column, but Qin Mo chose this cheat book to play, obviously to target Xiao Han's sneak attack strategy."

Once Xiao Han picks up the follow-up combo of "Changhong Guanri", even if Qin Mo does not die, he will be beaten into residual blood, which is very bad.

The most important thing in a master duel is to control the rhythm. He must find a way to interrupt Xiao Han's offensive rhythm.

Eternal Night City's "Gone Lost Track" light skill can instantly increase the agility attribute and speed up the movement speed, so when Xiao Han is chasing and killing his opponents, it is difficult for anyone to escape.

Qin Mo's original cheat book "Sword Rain and Fragrance" only stuns for 3 seconds, which cannot completely interrupt Xiao Han's fast pursuit; relying on the weapon's general attack to slow down, the possibility of Xiao Han's moving general attack hitting is even smaller; Tianyang Erlian's silence is easily escaped by Xiao Han and Jinchan...

After thinking about it, Qin Mo finally chose "The Holy Scroll of No Trace", the secret book of 10-second invisibility.

With this cheat, it means sacrificing an attack skill position, but it also won him 10 seconds of active exit time.

Xiao Han noticed that Qin Mo was invisible, and he was very moved in his heart——Qin Mo had really wasted a lot of effort for this final. This cheat book Qin Mo has almost never used, and it was selected today, which is obviously aimed at him. hit.

The damage doubling of Shenlong's ultimate move has ended, but the position of the ink mark is still unclear in the field of vision.

Where will Qin Mo go?

Based on Xiao Han's understanding of Qin Mo, he should go around after being invisible?

Thinking of this, Xiao Han immediately turned around—at this moment, the white-clothed swordsman who had been waiting for an opportunity pierced the black-clothed assassin's back with a sharp sword!

Qin Mo actually didn't go around.As my uncle said, Xiao Han knows him too well. If he wants to win against Xiao Han, he must first disrupt his offensive rhythm and change his offensive habits.Therefore, he did not go far after being invisible, but waited in place in the thatched hut until Xiao Han took the initiative to turn his back on him, and the long sword finally made a move!

——Sword to the End of the World, Sword Rain and Setting Sun!

After cooling down, the Tianyang Erlian silenced the opponent in place first, followed by Sword Intent Wushuang's locked attack, Shujian's drifting penetrating attack, combined with the big move of the sword pointing to the sky—

This set of combos was completed extremely smoothly. The snow-white sword light pierced the dark night sky with fierce momentum. The last big move of the sword pointing at the sky sent the white sword energy rushing towards the surroundings like a tide, even killing the surrounding people. The dilapidated houses were all blasted to pieces!

At the end of the combo, Qianli Bingfeng's blood volume was hit to 40% in one go, and Qin Mo's blood volume instantly overtook it.

Li Cangyu sighed, "Xiaomo beat him really hard too!"

Ling Xuefeng still had the calm tone of a bystander: "The explosive style of play looks gorgeous, but he will have no skills to use next."

Indeed, after going through a complete set of combos, most of Qin Mo's skills in the skill bar went into cooldown, only the unused knock-up skill "Swing Sword into a River".

As expected, Qin Mo kicked Qianli Bingfeng away for more than ten meters with "Swinging Sword into a River", and at the same time retreated quickly with the lightness kung fu "Pian Ruo Jing Hong"——

After playing a set, he retreated immediately, Qin Mo's thoughts were very clear and calm.

Because of being knocked out, it was not so easy for Xiao Han to turn around and try to chase Qin Mo again. Two figures, one black and one white, started the chase in the ruins of Sword God Valley.

The assassin's light work will increase the agility attribute, and the distance between the two is still getting closer——

Ling Xuefeng couldn't help frowning slightly, Qin Mo found an opportunity to counter-control Xiao Han, knocked his opponent into the air after finishing a set of bursts, and retreated immediately, obviously wanting to wait for the cooldown time of the skill to end, this is indeed the most calm strategy.Facing other players, his goal may be achieved, but his opponent today is Xiao Han——Xiao Han's style on the field cannot be described by just the word "fierce".

Ordinary players may take a few seconds to adjust their state and thinking after the opponent has opened a long distance, but Xiao Han will not.

Xiao Han only chases and hits the opponent until the opponent kneels down.

His extremely sharp game style is not like his master Li Cangyu.Watching him grow up, Ling Xuefeng naturally knew that Xiao Han was a fierce and unreasonable beast in the arena. The combination of sneak attack and assassination combined with violent pursuit could directly beat the opponent to a psychological breakdown.

Now his opponent is Qin Mo, so it is even more impossible for him to give Qin Mo a chance to adjust.

Because Xiao Han also knows Qin Mo very well, and knows that Qin Mo is best at the tactics of devious control of the field. Once Qin Mo is given to delay the battle, it will be more difficult to defeat him.

Xiao Han sensibly chose a simple and rough pursuit style of attack. At this point in time when Qin Mo opened the distance and waited for his skills to cool down, Xiao Han chased up at a very fast speed with his light work, and the distance between the two kept getting closer. , the cooling time of Qin Mo's control skills is about to expire, and at this moment, Xiao Han finally caught up with him——

Thousand lights ghost step!

The five afterimages that split instantly surrounded the white-clothed swordsman again, and the sharp blade in his hand pierced the opponent's throat!

There is no damage bonus of Shenlong's ultimate move, but the critical strike effect attached to Xiao Han's own equipment also makes the afterimage's attack extremely terrifying, and Mohen's blood volume drops to 30% in a blink of an eye.

Fortunately, the cooldown of the skill was finally over, and Qin Mo backhanded the silent group attack of "Sword to the End of the World, Sword Rain and Setting Sun"——

However, at the moment when the long sword in the swordsman's hand swept forward in an arc, the assassin in black suddenly released the cheat skill "Traceless Holy Scroll"!

——The audience is very familiar with this skill, because Qin Mo just used it.

This scene also shocked many viewers. Unexpectedly, in the first game of the finals, Qin Mo and Xiao Han chose the same cheat book by coincidence!

Ye Chao also sighed: "I really don't know what to say. They are old enemies, but they are also friends. They really have a tacit understanding!"

Li Cangyu felt complicated when he saw this. Qin Mo chose the stealth cheat to forcibly interrupt Xiao Han's attack rhythm; Qin Mo's control...

They know each other very well, and they were guessing each other's intentions before the game to target them, but in the end they crashed their train of thought.

Qin Mo brought the Holy Scroll of No Trace, which he seldom used, and Xiao Han also brought this secret book. This tacit understanding is also invincible.

No matter what the result is, it is actually a very happy thing to have such a person who understands oneself?

Thinking of this, Li Cangyu couldn't help sighing: "It's really wonderful how they target each other."

Seeing that Xiao Han also brought out this cheat book and became invisible at the critical moment, Qin Mo knew that there was no hope for this round.

He knew very well that with his own strength and hand speed, he would definitely not be able to fight against Xiao Han in terms of damage. He originally wanted to use the unexpected stealth trick to interrupt Xiao Han's rhythm, launch a wave of defensive counterattacks, and then open the distance to find another opportunity to fight. Waves control the field, so that it is possible to win.However, Xiao Han escaped his control at a critical moment, which meant that the rhythm of the game would be back in Xiao Han's hands.

Sure enough, after Xiao Han forced his stealth to avoid Qin Mo's Tianyang Erlian, he immediately went around behind Mohen in stealth at a very fast speed, and unceremoniously launched a set of explosive combos——

Flying Moon and Flying Star, Ice Silkworm lore!

The two skills directly hit the ink marks with residual blood until only 1% of the blood remains.

Xiao Han decisively raised the dagger in his hand, and slashed at the opponent's neck.

——[Thousands of miles of ice] killed [Mohen]!

Looking at the gray screen in front of him, Qin Mo also felt a little helpless.

Xiao Han's strength is indeed terrifying. He did not hesitate to chase, evade, and fight back just now. He didn't even give Qin Mo a chance to catch his breath. He chased and fought from beginning to end, making Qin Mo unable to avoid it.

Qin Mo couldn't help but admire his strength.

——That's it, don't be polite, don't hold back, the ending doesn't matter, what I care about is this matchup that was three years late.

——Because, Xiao Han, you are also the opponent I care about, respect and cherish the most in my mind!
