Chapter 2131: A city without a blade, a blade without a city!
"Huh?"
"A two-flying lineup?"
"This is good, this is good, it's violent enough, I like it!"
"Thousand Blades + Beast Lord, this lineup seems to have been unused for a long time..."
He said he actually planned to give the last spot to Qianren.
Everyone was stunned at first, then immediately became excited!
This year's Bianliang City substitute lineup not only includes Qianqiu, but also Qianren, a super lion-camel whose popularity at its peak could rival that of Qiancheng.
When Beastmaster said he was going to use a violent lineup to wipe out Hemudu in one fell swoop and Fang Yun didn't respond, everyone thought he had other ideas.
But now, after he suddenly decided to field a double-flying lineup this round.
Everyone immediately understood that he had taken their advice to heart.
The lineup for this year's Hemudu team is indeed quite strong, and Fang Yun clearly has no intention of pulling any tricks.
The two sides are old acquaintances, whether out of respect or consideration of the odds of winning.
fielding a reliable lineup for this quarterfinal opening match is the best option.
"Alright, that's the lineup. Let's get ready to go on stage."
Once the lineup was finalized, Fang Yun didn't waste any time. He clapped his hands to signal the players whose names were called to get ready to go on stage.
In fact, the lineup he finalized, apart from replacing Xuejian's Dragon Palace with Qianren's Lion Camel, was still the same as the lineup from the qualifying rounds.
So, apart from Li Sitong who didn't move, Beast Master, Su Jiu, Meng Ge, and Huang He immediately got up and followed Fang Yun out of the dressing room and headed towards the stage.
And as luck would have it...
As soon as they arrived below the stage, Fang Yun and the others looked up and saw A-Bai and Pineapple staring at them.
With a slight smile, Fang Yun didn't speak, but simply nodded to them before leading Beast Master and the others onto the stage.
The three teams did not play each other in the first round, so there was no competition between them.
But Fang Yun had clearly seen a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Clearly, they didn't expect Fang Yun to make his debut in the first round of the round-robin tournament.
Players from other teams, including Hemudu, were also surprised.
"Oh no, Qiancheng made it into the first round!"
"What does he mean by this? Is he planning to just beat us to death with Qianqiu?"
"It's hard to say, everyone be careful, and be sure to follow my instructions once the match starts!"
"understand!"
Fang Yun's appearance caught them completely off guard.
They originally thought that the quarterfinals would be the first round, and that their opponent would be Hemudu, the "number one city".
It is highly unlikely that Fang Yun himself will appear, and he will most likely continue to use the same lineup from the qualifying rounds.
And this is their opportunity in Hemudu.
The result was unexpected.
Fang Yun was much more 'respectful' to them than expected, even personally taking part in the first round!
How the hell are we supposed to play this?
At this moment, the Hemudu people were somewhat flustered, and their eyes involuntarily turned to their only pillar of strength, the 'Silver Demon Dragon'.
That's right.
Although the lineup of Hemudu's team in the server wars has changed drastically over the years.
However, the veteran top-tier Wuzhuang player, Silver Dragon, has always held its ground, neither quitting the game nor transferring servers to join forces with other top players, but instead silently protecting Hemudu.
From this perspective, this person is still very respectable.
The key is.
The Silver Dragons are not only a long-established team, but they also keep up with the times in their tactical planning.
The Silver Dragons' performance was indispensable in enabling Hemudu to advance to the All-Star quarterfinals by defeating many emerging strong teams.
Looking at the group of panicked young people, the silver dragon sighed and told them not to panic and to just follow his instructions.
In reality, he himself wasn't sure either.
As a veteran player that rose to prominence alongside Hemudu since ancient times.
The Silver Dragon has clashed with Bianliang City more than once or twice.
And it is precisely because of the large number of times they have faced each other.
Right now, among all the contestants in the entire Martial God Tournament, no one understands the terror and insurmountable nature of Bianliang City better than him!
This is a bunch of complete monsters.
In their presence, all your tactical arrangements are a joke.
One scene that he still remembers vividly is the time when he cleared the Purple Bamboo Forest in Bianliang City in three rounds.
Facing the Purple Bamboo Forest player who launched a furious tirade after breaking down, Fang Yun silenced him with a single sentence—
“You’re just as ridiculous as your ‘tactics’.”
This phrase has long become a famous meme in the game community, and he is the one who created this legendary meme.
Not long after Fang Yun finished speaking, the Purple Bamboo Forest server merged and disappeared completely from the Martial God Altar.
The silver dragon at the time witnessed the entire incident in its entirety.
At the time, he warned his players that they could do whatever they wanted when fighting in Bianliang City, but they must remember not to talk nonsense, or they would die a very bad death!
And now.
The grudges and resentments of the past have long since faded and disappeared in the long river of time.
However, because they had lived for so long, the Hemudu people encountered Bianliang City once again!
He didn't know what lineup Bianliang City would field this time, but one thing was certain.
Unless their opponents pull some unexpected moves, Hemudu is basically guaranteed to suffer their first defeat in this match...
Take a deep breath.
The silver dragon forced himself to remain calm, and after Fang Yun led the team onto the stage, he also led his teammates up the steps.
"Holy crap, Cheng Ge made it into the first round?!"
"Oh ho, Hemudu pills!"
"Surely not, it's not like Brother Cheng hasn't played in the first round before."
"Can you name a single match where Cheng Ge played in the first round and his opponent won?"
"That's not very interesting. With Brother Cheng around, how many games has Bianliang City ever lost?"
"Let's get this going! I want to see Tornado Tang make a comeback!"
"Tornado Tang is unlikely, but Tornado Autumn is more likely."
"Do you think Brother Cheng will continue using Qianqiu this time, or will he use a different account?"
"It's hard to say, we'll find out soon enough..."
Fang Yun's appearance not only caused a commotion backstage, but also drew gasps from the audience, who were clearly not expecting this notorious lazybones from the Dream World to be a starter in the quarterfinals.
Then the problem arose.
Now that Fang Yun has chosen to start, which account will he use this time?
A murmur rippled through the audience.
After taking the stage, Fang Yun and his team, guided by the staff, sat down in front of five computers in Bianliang City.
Just as they sat down, even the Silver Dragon led the Hemudu contestants to sit down opposite them.
Fang Yun himself had a rather favorable impression of the silver dragon.
Although the two sides have been in a love-hate relationship for so many years, and even in the early days, fans of the two teams once stirred up various flame wars on the forum.
But putting all that aside, the Silver Dragon has been able to hold down a city for so many years and carry Hemudu into various knockout rounds and even the finals time and time again.
Even Fang Yun, as an opponent, should respect such a person.
Facing the gaze thrown at him by the silver dragon, Fang Yun smiled and nodded at it, then sat up straight and began logging into the game.
Time slowly passed as the eight teams prepared for their matches.
A moment later.
With everyone ready, it was 10:30 a.m.
The opening match of the 6th All-Star offline quarterfinals has finally officially begun!
The spotlights above the venue suddenly went out, while the large screens surrounding the venue lit up.
The most eye-catching feature was the largest screen on the main stage, which prominently displayed the match between Bianliang City and Hemudu!
"Haha, I knew it!"
"So sensible, official! They know what the brothers want to see most."
"Holy crap, no! Look at Bianliang City! Holy crap, am I seeing things?!"
"Thousand Blades? Holy crap, Blade Bro is here this year too?!"
"Holy crap! They fielded Qianqiu in the final match of the qualifying rounds, and then Qianren in the opening match of the round-robin stage. What kind of god-like substitute lineup does Bianliang City have?"
"Apart from Qianren, the other four remain unchanged."
"You're wrong. If you'd watched Thousand Blades + Beast Lord's matches, you'd know how overpowered this double-fly lineup is!"
The main stage's large screen displayed live footage of the match between Bianliang City and Hemudu.
However, the audience's focus was not on this, but rather on the Lion Camel named 'Thousand Blades' on the field.
Although in recent years, due to reduced exposure.
Qianren is no longer as popular as Qiancheng.
But as the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.
The Lion Camel was once a top-tier physical damage dealer that sparked heated debates among players about who was the best physical damage dealer in the game.
The rise of Qianren was not only legendary, but also left an unforgettable impression on countless people!
When discussing whether someone is strong or not, concrete descriptions are sometimes not the most accurate.
Give the simplest example.
Take, for example, the group of people with the rank of Thousand Characters in Bianliang City.
Others are fine, but when it comes to the two physical beings, Qiancheng and Qianren, it's a different story.
There will be a common consensus that there are cities without weapons, and weapons without cities.
To be more specific...
It refers to every time a competition is held in Bianliang City, when the Qiancheng family participates.
If Qiancheng is present, then it can be basically confirmed that Qianren is no longer here, and vice versa.
The reason for this strange consensus is...
The reason is that these two physical attributes are too overpowered. Whenever they play a match, just one of them is enough to deal a devastating blow to other teams!
Right now, Bianliang City has brought out Qianren in the first match of the quarterfinals round-robin.
This practically tells everyone that Qiancheng is not going to appear.
This greatly disappointed many of Qiancheng's fans, but at the same time, Qianren's appearance made countless viewers exclaim that their youth had returned.
Listening to the cheers from the audience.
Fang Yun remained calm and controlled Thousand Blades to quickly reach the rest room. After the others arrived, they formed a team.
Meanwhile, the two commentators began to analyze the overview of the first round of the round-robin tournament.
"The situation between Bianliang City and Hemudu is perhaps the clearest. Qianren's appearance almost directly determined the outcome of this match. Although saying this may displease Hemudu players, it is the truth."
Sitting in the commentary booth, Lu Qi watched the lineups for the match between Bianliang City and Hemudu on the small screen in front of him and immediately shared his thoughts.
As a veteran commentator who has been commentating on offline competitions since the very first offline tournament.
Lu Qi is no longer the naive and timid man he once was; his comments are increasingly sharp, leaving Xiao Fei with a wry smile.
"Qianren's appearance was indeed unexpected, but Hemudu is not without its trump cards. As the oldest and most prestigious Wuzhuang in the Martial God Altar, Silver Demon Dragon, with him, I think Hemudu still has the strength to fight."
Xiaofei was well aware of the situation, especially given that Bianliang City had brought out Qianren.
Hemudu is likely to be eliminated in this opening match.
But she couldn't be as blunt as Lu Qi, since there were still quite a few Hemudu fans in the audience, and if both commentators said the same thing, it would cause trouble.
"Here we go again, one playing the bad cop and the other the good cop, huh?"
"Xiaofei is really interesting. Do you think we don't know whether Hemudu is a possibility or not?"
"You don't understand. Even if some things are true, you can't say them outright."
"That's right, didn't you see those Hemudu fans over there are almost red-hot? Old Lu is a good person in every way, except for that lousy mouth..."
"Hemudu was doomed to fail, so why can't people even speak about it?"
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, the countdown is almost over. We'll find out who wins and who loses in a bit, won't we?"
The two commentators' remarks drew considerable dissatisfaction from many audience members.
Hemudu's fans have started criticizing Lu Qi, while another group of viewers strongly disagrees with Xiaofei's attempt to smooth things over.
But that's okay, the commentary is just a side dish in the end.
With the 30-second countdown on the field completed, the highly anticipated opening match of the quarterfinals officially began!
The battle begins.
Then, the Twin Lion Camel Thousand Blades and Beast Lord from Bianliang City swung their long blades and entered their transformed state!
And then...
Just as the two lion camels finished their transformation.
The sister-in-law easily secured the fastest move in the entire match, unleashing a graceful lotus-like dance, but her target wasn't the opposing Hemudu's Fangcun "Terrifying Guy," but rather their Putuo "Blue Moon"—
Seal successful!
"Huh? No... huh?"
"A first-speed seal on Putuo, what kind of move is that?"
Wow, that's awesome!
"You'll see what this is all about in a bit..."
Seeing that the sister-in-law, who was the fastest in the entire game, didn't control the opposing Fangcun and Wuzhuang, but instead sealed the Putuo first.
Many audience members were quite surprised and couldn't understand why he would do that.
But then...
Just as my sister-in-law lightly swayed and sealed the Blue Moon.
But then it was the turn of Pan Si 'Qian Ge' in Bianliang City.
Instead of targeting the sealing system of Hemudu, she cast a tender attack that instantly sealed the Hemudu Demon King 'CJY'!
With the successive sealing of Hemudu, Putuo, and the Demon King.
Not to mention the audience below the stage, even the five members of Hemudu on the other side were a bit dumbfounded—
How can they be so confident?!
as predicted.
Just as Qian Ge, with tender affection, sealed the Hemudu Demon King.
But then it was the turn of Hemudu's 'terrorist'.
Despite not being sealed away, he didn't choose to seal anyone, but instead suddenly unleashed a magical artifact—
Pale paper doll!
Accompanied by the release of a classic, anti-point-kill pale paper doll.
The audience was stunned at first, then immediately erupted in excitement! (End of Chapter)
