On Sunday night, the last match of the three-players competition finally arrived with the audience’s eagerness.
The director released the team’s scoreboard on the big screen, and Ye Chao immediately explained. “Until now, the points of other teams have been determined. Today’s final match between Dynasty and Mojue will decide the first place.”
Judging from the current standings, Without Fire was firmly ranked third, and Frost Moon was once again ranked fourth. From the fifth to the tenth were National Grace, Whisper, Interlude, Sky, Sword Song and Graceful Beauty team. Among them, Sky team’s ranking changed the most, falling from the fourth place to the eighth place all the way, because everyone knew well—— they lost Yuan Xi in the middle of the game and fell into the disadvantage in three-players competition, losing all the time in recent weeks, and the points were deducted again and again, which made fans feel distressed.
Seeing this ranking, Yuan Xi was quite upset. If he hadn’t had to stay in the team to recuperate because of a drinking accident, Sky would not have fallen into such a miserable situation. However, it didn’t matter. The plaster on his leg had been removed and he was now able to walk. Waiting for a few days off during the holiday after the three-players competition, he would return to the game with a brand new posture when it came to the important team battle stage.
On the big screen, the scene of the background preparation area was released. To the surprise of the audience, Qin Mo and Sang Jun were actually sitting together and chatting. They didn’t look like sworn enemies at all, but seemed to be friends with good relationships. They didn’t know what Qin Mo said, but Sang Jun’s lips suddenly curved and he laughed happily, while Qin Mo had a helpless expression.
“It seems that captain Qin and vice captain Sang are very relaxed, it seems that they do not attach great importance to the result of this game?” Liang Ru commented.
Ye Chao replied. “After all, this is only the end of the phased project, and the impact on the final team points will not be particularly great. They will not pay too much attention to the results of today’s game. What they care more about is probably the lineup for the match.”
“Guess what god Mo said to vice captain Sang, why did he suddenly laugh?” Liang Ru asked curiously.
On the big screen, Sang Jun’s expression did look relaxed and happy, and the content of their chat immediately aroused the strong curiosity of the audience.
Therefore, when all the members of both sides stepped onto the big stage, the host asked bluntly, “God Mo, just now we saw you chatting with vice captain Sang. What are you talking about?”
“I asked him if he had any plans for the holiday after the game.” Qin Mo replied calmly.
The host looked at Sang Jun questioningly. “Is this a funny question?”
Sang Jun smiled. “I laughed not because Qin Mo chatted with me, but because I saw captain Chu at the door, stepped on his shoes and almost tripped.”
Host: “…”
The players on the stage looked at Chu Jianxin collectively, and the audience also had a ‘how can you be so stupid’ look of caring for the idiot.
Chu Jianxin smiled and touched his nose. “Sangsang, you don’t hesitate to sell me…”
Sang Jun smiled. “Use your right foot to step on the left shoe, and then trip your right foot with your left foot. You are quite suitable to be an acrobat.”
Just now, the director cut the angle so that the audience could only see Sang Jun’s laugh and Qin Mo’s helpless expression. In fact, when Chu Jianxin entered the door with coffee, he walked and chatted with others without paying attention to his feet. When he crossed the threshold, he tripped over himself, and many players laughed. Qin Mo helplessly watched him spill coffee, and Sang Jun laughed impolitely for a while. But in the end, he took the initiative to go over and help Chu Jianxin up, and asked him to take off his dirty clothes and change into a spare team uniform.
“I was careless and didn’t pay attention to my feet.” Chu Jianxin explained.
The host looked at him helplessly and handed the microphone to Sang Jun. “How are you preparing for today’s game?”
“I have made preparations and will try my best.” Sang Jun replied.
The host asked Qin Mo. “What about captain Qin?”
“We’ll do our best.” Qin Mo replied.
“Okay.” The host added. “Let’s invite the players from both sides to enter the soundproof room, and let’s look forward to the final match of the three-players competition!”

Taking advantage of the time when the players on both sides adjusted their equipment, the big screen showed the record of the two teams in the three-players competition, as well as the appearance rate of the players. The audience found that the appearance rate of the Mojue’s Twin Stars was less than 30%, while the appearance rate of Sang Jun in Dynasty was about 40%, which meant that he did not participate in more than half of the games. In this case, Dynasty could still maintain the first place, which proved that this team had strong comprehensive strength.

Ye Chao nodded. “Such a lineup has a chance of winning against the three output lineup of Mojue.”
The game soon began, and Sang Jun drew a higher point, and gave the upper hand to Qin Mo to choose the map first, and then he made a lineup against it.
The three maps selected by Qin Mo were all trap maps, and Sang Jun thought that Qin Mo should take a trap player Liu Hong to control the field. Sang Jun banned two maps, leaving a dynamic map of ‘Peach Blossom Valley’ with fewer traps. Then, Qin Mo submitted the names of five players in the lineup list, including Liu Hong, Li Muran and Shen He besides Twin Stars.
Thinking for a while, Sang Jun skipped the ban stage.
This move surprised the audience, and Ye Chao could not help saying. “Sang Jun has great confidence in himself! Twin Stars can’t help but wonder what lineup he wants to play with the output lineup of Han, Mo and Hong. Is it really as I said, is he going to go with a super blood cow lineup to delay the battle?”
As soon as the voice fell, he was slapped in the face by Sang Jun——
The final lineup submitted by both sides, Mojue’s side was the pure output of Han-Mo-Hong, while on Dynasty’s side, it was the combination of Sang Jun, Wen Hua and Lin Yao.
As a commentator, it was common to be slapped in the face, Ye Chao quickly changed his tune. “Did not expect such a lineup, poison master plus double assassins? Can it be referred to as a poison killing lineup for short?”
“I remember that Dynasty had never used such a lineup in the previous competition?” Liang Ru asked.
Ye Chao nodded. “This is indeed the first time.”
Seeing the final list, Qin Mo was also very excited. Although he didn’t know Sang Jun well, he liked to play against him because his thinking was always unique. Sang Jun never stuck in old ways. He always tried new tactics in competitions. Whether it was partner competition with an array secret book or three-players competition with poison killing lineup, he always gave unexpected surprises to his opponents.
Poison killing lineup, in principle, was a set of formation where the three outputs could attack when advancing and defend when retreating.
Both Wen Hua’s dagger flow and Sang Jun’s iron claw flow had the stealth skills of the assassin sect. They could join hands to stealthily attack, seize the opportunity to instantly attack one of the opponents and make a gap; while Lin Yao was a long range. A poison master was equivalent to a long-range turret. He could use his hand to fight fast-moving battles, suppress attack power at a distance, and create opportunities for his teammates.
Dynasty had never come up with this lineup before. Today, in order to compete with Mojue’s three outputs, Sang Jun had obviously made a lot of efforts.

Peach Blossom Valley map was very beautiful, with pink petals falling to the ground like a thick carpet on the ground. Once the trap hidden under the petals was triggered, it would cause the whole ground within radius of five metres to collapse, and the players who fell into the trap would suffer from hallucinations for three seconds besides losing blood. Moreover, as the trap of five square meters fell, just like a small bomb, which would cause damage to people standing nearby.
Although there were not many traps in this map, it was much more difficult than other trap maps, and the most important reason was—— the traps’ mobility.
Just like the moving maze in martial arts novels, the peach blossom trees and traps in Peach Blossom Valley would also move constantly, causing confusion in directions, so that the players in it couldn’t distinguish the specific positions of traps. This map looked beautiful, but it was dangerous. If they were not careful, they would step on the air and fall into the maze trap.
Sang Jun dared to leave this difficult map among the three trap maps selected by Qin Mo, and he obviously had confidence in his ability to memorize the map.
At the beginning of the game, the players of both sides respawned at the opposite corner of the map. On Dynasty’s side, the two assassins, Sang Jun and Wen Hua, were invisible at the same time, one left and one right in front, while Lin Yao, a long-range poison attacker, moved in the back row. The three kept the distance that they could support their teammates at any time and moved forward rapidly.
A moment later, Sang Jun saw Qin Mo, a swordsman dressed in white, and Liu Hong holding gold and silver double rings under the peach blossom tree. Xiao Han was nowhere to be seen, and he should be invisible.
Since Lin Yao was a poison master and had a long attack distance, Sang Jun immediately laid an offensive match on the map at the moment he saw the opponent. Lin Yao reacted very quickly and relied on his long distance advantage to use Fangcao Hall’s skills—— Red Crane’s Crown! Mandala Petals!
Two kinds of poisonous powder were thrown all over the field, which caused a wide range of group attack damage and triggered the combo effect—— group blindness!
The screen in front of Qin Mo’s trio suddenly turned black.
Ye Chao was surprised. “Lin Yao’s preemptive consciousness is very good. After the blindness group control comes out, the three of them cannot use qinggong at will, because the peach blossom trap is constantly moving. If they use qinggong in a state of blindness, they are likely to accidentally fall into a trap!”
Liang Ru added. “Dynasty played very aggressively. After Lin Yao used a group of blindness to control the field, he followed a series of big moves to reduce the opponent’s health. Both Sang Jun and Wen Hua were in invisibility state. As long as they find the opportunity, they may directly kill the opposite player!”
At this time, the audience also realised the power of the so-called ‘Poison Killing Lineup’. As long as Lin Yao took the lead and used the blindness control effect from a long distance, then Sang Jun and Wen Hua took the opportunity to sneak in and kill one of them in one breath!
At this point, both Qin Mo and Liu Hong had about 70% blood volume. Xiao Han was attacked by Lin Yao’s group attack because he was close to Lin Yao when he was invisible just now. The blood volume dropped more, and the current health was about 60%.
Most people would choose to kill the player with less health, but Sang Jun chose to kill another player. “Kill Qin Mo!”
Hearing the command, Wen Yao immediately used assassin dagger flow’s big moves —— Shadowless Dragon, Meteor, Deadly Ice Silkworm!
Sang Jun also closely followed a set of single violence output—— Wind Claw, Ashura Claw, Golden Rainbow Ghost Claw!
Both of them joined hands, and in just a few seconds, Qin Mo’s health was dropped to about 10% in one breath.
Qin Mo’s state was very dangerous. At this moment, the audience only felt that there was a blossom in front of them, and a large black shadow appeared in the peach blossom forest!
On the field, Wen Hua and Xiao Han were dagger flow assassins, and both had the shadow splitting skills of ‘Thousand Lights Ghost Walk’. Everyone could not tell whose shadow was for a moment, until two seconds later, a loud bang was heard in their ears, the trap in the peach blossom forest immediately began to explode!
The audience watched this scene dumbfounded, until the exploded petals gradually fell, and everyone’s vision finally became clear.
“It was god Han’s shadows!” Ye Chao was excited. “He is really bad. He deliberately stepped on all the traps around him with seven shadows, so that the traps of the map exploded completely!”
At the same time, Qin Mo and Liu Hong were well prepared and flew high into the air with qinggong.
As a result, the three players of Dynasty, who had a great advantage, were suddenly blown into residual blood by a large number of traps stepped on by Xiao Han’s shadows and the serial traps laid by Liu Hong in advance.
Sang Jun: “……”
There was actually this trick?! Deliberately used shadows to trigger traps to blow up opponents. Such a bad way, and he still could think about it!
Seeing that all his teammates were in residual blood, Sang Jun could not laugh or cry, but he quickly ordered. “You two retreat, I will kill Qin Mo first!”
Due to the signal that Xiao Han was going to blow up the trap in advance, Qin Mo flew up in time and was not affected by the trap explosion, but his 10% blood volume was still quite dangerous. After he regained his vision in the high altitude, Qin Mo immediately hit the group attack control field within the starting range. However, Sang Jun seemed to have expected it for a long time and let Lin Yao and Wen Hua retreat in time to avoid Qin Mo’s silent control field.
Sang Jun flew to the sky with qinggong, hitting the swordsman’s chest with ‘Spirit Snake Ghost Claw’!
The audience thought Qin Mo was dead, but at a critical moment, Qin Mo suddenly passed through a peach blossom tree with the penetration skill of ‘Drifting Sword’, successfully avoiding Sang Jun’s attack.
Of course, Sang Jun would not let off the residual blood, so he chased him down decisively!
At this moment, the peach blossom trees in the Peach Blossom Valley changed their position again, and the peach blossom trees in front of them moved to the rear. Sang Jun had a bad feeling, and he saw a sword suddenly pierced his chest…
It turned out that Qin Mo used the timing of the map change to avoid his skills and immediately fought back. Sang Jun didn’t kill Qin Mo, instead he was defeated by Qin Mo’s ‘Unrivalled Sword’ and lost a lot of blood.
Qin Mo could no longer be allowed to live.
Sang Jun’s gaze was cold, and he decisively opened a targeting attack ‘Purgatory Claw’!
Countless bloody claws surrounded Qin Mo like an evil spirit. The picture effect of this skill looked very scary, and the damage caused was also quite terrible. Qin Mo’s blood volume was emptied in one breath by the targeting attack.
——[End Of The World] has killed [Ink Mark]!
Qin Mo’s death was good news for Dynasty, but the next moment, a prompt popped up on the screen.
——[Thousand Miles Ice] has killed [Flower Blooming Like Red Clouds]!
Xiao Han took advantage of the trap big explosion to reduce the opponent’s blood, and used a big move to fly in front of Lin Yao, killing Lin Yao in a second.
The two sides exchanged one for one, and no one took advantage.
Next, Dynasty’s double assassins and Mojue’s Han-Hong 2v2, the rhythm of the war was still too fast for people to see.
After killing Lin Yao, Xiao Han continued to chase Wen Hua and beat him fiercely. Wen Hua had no choice but to stealthily make a detour to kill Liu Hong’s residual blood, but unexpectedly he stepped on the trap laid by Liu Hong in advance and was killed by a wave of trap blasting!
At this time, Sang Jun came out stealthily from behind the peach blossom tree and killed Liu Hong’s residual blood.
The two sides once again completed a one-for-one exchange, leaving only Xiao Han and Sang Jun alone. Moreover, due to the explosion of the opening trap, Sang Jun’s blood volume was lower than Xiao Han, and he killed two consecutively, his skill consumption was more serious than Xiao Han. In this state, he would not have a chance to fight with Xiao Han unless Xiao Han made a big mistake.
Xiao Han would not make obvious mistakes, on the contrary, the more critical moment he was, the calmer he was.
Soon, he took advantage of the opportunity of Sang Jun’s skill on cooldown and made a big move to kill Sang Jun’s residual blood, thus locking in the victory of the first game.
Sang Jun gave a row of thumbs expression on the public screen, and was convinced of the loss.
The rhythm of this round was too fast, all six players were output, and they started the battle as soon as they came up. In fact, Dynasty played very well, and A-Yao took the lead in controlling the field. He cooperated with Wen Hua to assassinate Qin Mo in one breath, grasping the rhythm quite well. The key point was that Xiao Han deliberately stepped on the trap with the shadows, exploded a lot of their health and turned the tide of the battle. If it weren’t for Xiao Han’s large-scale trap explosion, if they first killed Qin Mo and entered a three-on-two, the chance of winning was actually quite large.
However, this was the case in the competition field. There were many unexpected factors that were not avoided at that time, and there was no need to complain afterwards.
It seemed that he too underestimated Mojue’s ability to use the map at home game, and chose the variable map of ‘Peach Blossom Valley’, which was suspected of digging his own grave. Maybe he could use maps to make some trick at the next Dynasty’s home game?
Thinking of this, Sang Jun calmly ordered. “In the next game, we will still use the poison killing lineup, playing with the map we are good at.”
“What about me?” Chu Jianxin was puzzled.
Sang Jun gazed back at him. “You take a break and wait for the tiebreaker game.”
Chu Jianxin sighed. “Cough, there is no human right! What the other family captain said, everyone will listen to the captain, but in our family captain…cough!”
Walking up to him, Sang Jun smiled. “Sounds like a grievance? Shall I give you candy?”
Chu Jianxin hurriedly waved his hand. “No, no, no, I’m just joking! Sangsang, you can arrange it, I’ll listen to you.”
Sitting next to him, Sang Jun asked seriously. “What if I made the wrong decision?”
Chu Jianxin patted Sang Jun’s shoulder frankly. “It’s alright. If we lose, we’ll take responsibility together. It’s not like we haven’t lost before!”
Although Chu Jianxin was simple-minded and sometimes very annoying, he always insisted on ‘listening to Sang Jun’.
Perhaps it was his unconditional trust in himself that touched his heart at the beginning. Unfortunately, it was out of ‘brotherhood’…
Sang Jun smiled helplessly, driving away the chaotic thoughts in his mind and calmly thinking about the tactic for the second game.
Perhaps, Qin Mo wouldn’t have guessed that Sang Jun would dare to play the second game with the same lineup even if he lost the first game.
Xiao Han’s large-scale trap explosion was very handsome~~! ٩(^ᴗ^)۶
Thank you for the chapter 💜💜💜
Agreeee+9999
You’re welcome~ 💕
Sang Jun is very scary, watched qin mo’s use of map and learns to try it on other people. Excellent tactician. When han and mo retire and li muran takes over as captain, he’s going to have to face this monster. Well.. I guess it would be a similar situation to all the other groups when facing the Twin Star bosses.
True, maybe after Twin Stars retire, Sang Jun becomes the big BOSS 🤣
If I’m not mistaken, Tan Shitian said Sang Jun is like a snake?🤔
Am I confused? This Peach Blossom map wasn’t the one that had mobs? Or are the names just similar (Peach Blossom [something]) and I’m getting confused?
