Chapter 214: 214 Mount Flower VS Temple of the Gods 9_1
Eros and Circe wanted to launch a furious counterattack.
But the River Maiden’s last wave of power was still in effect.
Clueless Dame took advantage of this opportunity to spread through Chen Runyu’s flowers, passed through the River Maiden’s flower mist, and caught Circe by surprise.
Eros shot an arrow at Clueless Dame, but it was useless. Clueless Dame’s attack had already concluded, and since she didn’t plan to continue assaulting, the damage wouldn’t rebound.
Clueless Dame’s attack power was still terrifying. Circe was definitely affected. Changer’s abilities had just finished activating and couldn’t cover her, so Circe took the full brunt of Clueless Dame’s sharp strike.
"Great job!!" Chen Runyu almost shouted out loud.
Clueless Dame was an Assassin Card, and her Seven-Star Butterfly was quite powerful. As it grew next to Circe, it drained her spiritual power. Circe couldn’t last long. Without this Strong Control Card, and with only Eros remaining, Wen Jiang’s risk was greatly reduced!
Unwilling to be outdone, Circe immediately cast a strong Control Skill on Clueless Dame. Hou Yi had just used his skill—two powerful arrows in succession—and he wasn’t going to use it again. Clueless Dame, who was about to flee, suddenly experienced a brief paralysis, and her Card Spirit couldn’t move.
Simultaneously, Demos, now free to act, immediately released smoke to control and erode Clueless Dame’s body. Just as Sirens began to sing, three or four Dandelions from the center of the field, not yet completely destroyed, flew over to interfere. These Dandelions blocked Demos’s corrosive smoke. One Dandelion was instantly dissolved, but the control on Clueless Dame ended. She moved with incredible speed and immediately escaped the Temple of the Gods’ kill zone.
Although Sirens caused some damage, it wasn’t fatal at the moment.
The expressions of the Temple of the Gods’ members turned extremely ugly.
All these events, though complex, took place within a few short seconds, and they had suffered such a severe blow.
Even Circe’s controller exclaimed angrily, "There’s something wrong with Wen Jiang! How the hell can that Dandelion card split again when it’s right in front of us?"
Since the start of the match, they had never seen such a shameless card!
If it hadn’t suddenly split and caught them off guard, they wouldn’t have suffered such a huge loss.
The good news was that Mount Flower now had no Control Card left. The bad news was that they had lost two cards at once. Circe was now fatally wounded. If they delayed any longer, the opponent’s Seven-Star Butterfly would also be right in front of her, which would directly mean GG.
They simply didn’t understand how the situation had turned out like this.
Seven versus nine! This was seven versus nine!
Now it was six versus seven, damn it!
As the team’s support and shot-caller, they also wanted to curse those two for being so useless. Two vital cards had been distracted by Wen Jiang, who was controlling three cards.
But looking at Wen Jiang, who still seemed calm and collected, the support also felt a hint of fear. Ultimately, they suppressed the urge to scold their teammates and muttered, "Impossible! How can she show no fluctuation in spiritual power even now? Hou Yi’s continuous output of two arrows, Ghost Wood’s healing, Dandelion’s interference... How can she maintain such spiritual power while operating three cards simultaneously?"
What kind of a freak was this?
Similarly, the dramatic changes in the match within such a brief period had caused the live chat to explode.
The commentator Cyrus, his face looking as if he’d eaten shit, explained the shifts in the match: "Mount Flower’s command wasn’t problematic. Instead, their strategy was to adopt a dormant approach. Soon after Wen Jiang’s Dandelion interfered with the opponent’s Eros and Circe, they immediately switched to a counterattack with Hou Yi. He used two consecutive arrows to eliminate one of the Temple of the Gods’ main damage dealers."
"To be honest, I’m puzzled. How did that Dandelion choose such a tricky angle and still manage to split and directly interfere with those two?"
"Of course, the decisiveness of their control also played an indispensable part. It now seems that Mount Flower intended to sacrifice their Control Card from the beginning. The Seven-Star Butterfly will cause problems for the Temple of the Gods in the later stages, as it’s about to fully form. As long as Wen Jiang’s Hou Yi doesn’t fall..."
As long as Wen Jiang’s Hou Yi survived, the Temple of the Gods would be the ones to fall.
Lillian even screamed, "Oh my God! I’ve never seen such a calm player! How did she do that?! Why is that Dandelion so magical?!"
On the screen, the faces of the major players appeared. Compared to the unpleasant expressions of the Temple of the Gods’ players, Mount Flower’s team seemed much more relaxed.
Especially Wen Jiang. Her expression looked indifferent, but if you looked closely at the big screen, you could seemingly discern the hint of a smile curling at the corner of her lips.
Her valiant and heroic bearing, that confident and unhurried demeanor, instantly made countless audience members scream.
Question marks flooded the screen as if they were free, with viewers completely baffled as to how such an unequal match had turned out this way.
[???]
[Is she even human?]
[Is she human?!]
[So cool! She’s just so cool!]
[Controlling the Dandelion like that... she’s exploding with coolness!]
[HOLY CRAP! That Dandelion even predicted Eros and Circe’s movements, avoided the flower mist, and drifted right to that position! Freaking amazing!]
[How can such an outrageous player exist?]
[Sorry, I previously said Mount Flower’s shot-calling was brain-dead, but now it seems I’m the one who’s brain-dead.]
[Could they actually win? It’s nine versus seven! Nine versus seven! And their opponents are the Temple of the Gods!]
[CRAP! I just went to the bathroom! Can anyone tell me how it turned into six versus seven? Where did that huge Merlinuo on my screen go?!!]
[Hou Yi is cool as hell! Damn, how can she shoot two arrows in succession and still be so nonchalant?]
[Manipulating three cards to turn the tables like this... badass! There’s no other word for it but badass!]
Even Little Goat, who always felt domestic players were somewhat unreliable, couldn’t help but marvel now, "She’s too strong, really too strong. I, Little Goat, haven’t respected many players in my life, but Wen Jiang is definitely one of them now. ’Jiang Shen’—truly a well-deserved title. She is the peak of the A-Rank Group, the current strongest A-Rank Professional Player, without a doubt."
The viewers of his live broadcast wanted to retort upon hearing this. But then they thought about it: an A-Rank player who could reverse an entire match by controlling three cards? No other current A-Rank Professional Player would even dare dream of it.
Thus, they couldn’t refute Little Goat’s claim that she was the strongest.
Shaking his head and bobbing along, Little Goat even added, "The Great Emperor also played with three cards in A-Level competitions back then... Honestly, I think Wen Jiang’s three cards this time are stronger. Of course, I’m just saying this offhand, no offense intended to the Great Emperor."
As a streamer who enjoyed stirring the pot, this casual comment still managed to upset the Great Emperor’s fans.
[She’s strong, sure, but not *that* strong, right? The Great Emperor back in the day was rumored to control four cards!]
But the passionately-fueled bullet comments immediately fired back.
[The streamer’s right! The Great Emperor’s three cards back then weren’t as high-caliber as in this match; he wasn’t even playing against his old rival, Divine Punishment. Wen Jiang single-handedly reversed a seven-versus-nine match! She’s undoubtedly number one in the history of the A-Rank Group. Why can’t her achievements be compared to the Great Emperor’s?]
