Chapter 1863 1863: Plan B
Thinking of this, Wade quickly lifted his head to glance at the control platform directly above.
He saw Qi Ao up there, having a great time, looking excited and playful.
However, Wade paid no attention to Qi Ao at all.
Because the control platform was directly above the ground, a person of normal height sitting on it wouldn't be able to see what was below; given Qi Ao's stature, even if he were operating up there, it could be concluded that the one making the predictions was not him.
At this moment, attacking Qi Ao directly would be useless. After all, the person making the predictions was still around. Killing one operator would inevitably lead to another operator taking their place. To address the root of the problem, one must uncover the true mastermind behind it all.
So, Wade took another look at the ragtag team across from him and happened to spot Spring Halo, who was being protected behind Crotch Lord.
Sometimes, excessive protection exposes a target; Spring Halo being specifically shielded by someone certainly raised suspicions.
"Old buddy!" Wade immediately commanded the Invisible Man beside him, "Let's go over and take out that green-hatted sorcerer!"
"Okay!"
The Invisible Man responded, and in an instant, both he and Wade disappeared from the arena.
Not far away, Fearless noticed the two vanish and a slight smirk crept onto his face, revealing a cunning smile.
Both Wang Yu and Evil Rampage took a step back simultaneously, positioning themselves on either side of Spring Halo.
Wade and the Invisible Man were extremely fast, swiftly crossing the fallen zone and reaching Spring Halo's back in no time. The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously raised their daggers, aiming for a backstab at Spring Halo.
However, in that instant, both felt a sudden weight behind them, as large hands grabbed the collars of their clothes.
One of these hands had immense strength, hoisting the attacking Invisible Man effortlessly, while the other tripped Wade and pushed his face down against the scorched, red ground heated by lava.
"??"
Caught by surprise and unable to break free, Wade and the Invisible Man turned to see two identical faces smiling back at them—none other than Wang Yu and Evil Rampage.
"!!!!"
Seeing these two, the confusion on Wade and the Invisible Man's faces instantly turned to terror.
At that moment, Fearless mocked them in fluent foreign language, "Did you think my commands would have any flaws? Daddy exposed the target to lure you two idiots!"
With that, Fearless snapped his fingers and casually instructed Wang Yu and Evil Rampage, "Finish them!"
Fearless's authoritative tone annoyed Wang Yu and Evil Rampage, but since it was a match, they begrudgingly followed Fearless's orders, channeling their frustrations onto Wade and the Invisible Man.
To be fair, while Wang Yu and Evil Rampage were indeed strong, they wouldn't have found it so easy to deal with top-tier professionals. However, Wade and the Invisible Man were completely focused on assassinating Spring Halo and hadn't noticed Wang Yu and Evil Rampage, which led to their oversight.
In a battle of experts, one flaw can be fatal, especially against a master like Wang Yu.
With a forceful grip, Wang Yu and Evil Rampage crushed Wade and the Invisible Man, who were instantly transformed into a burst of white light and teleported out of the arena.
As for Spring Halo, who had been the target all along, he never turned back to look.
Of course, with two top-tier experts behind him, Spring Halo felt completely safe leaving his back exposed. Moreover, if the attack was something even Wang Yu and Evil Rampage couldn't withstand, what would be the point of turning around? He would just end up watching himself get killed.
Five minutes into the match, three members of the Freedom Team were already out, including their captain, Wade.
Seeing the situation on the battlefield, the audience's mood flipped again.
In the first match, everyone had full confidence in the ragtag team, but by the second match, the ragtag team revealed their true strength as an amateur team...
Just when everyone thought the third match would end similarly, that group managed to catch everyone off guard once again.
Utilizing the advantages of the map, the ragtag team not only fully suppressed their opponents but also executed a successful ambush, knocking three core damage dealers from the Freedom Team out of the arena.
Looking at the current situation, the "Magma Tempering" effect was still ongoing, and without their core damage dealers, it would be very difficult for the Freedom Team to reorganize.
In team battles, it's all about formation and tactics. The Freedom Team was being crushed tactically by their opponents due to the advantage of the terrain, and their formation had already lost its output. If the Freedom Team didn't come up with a reasonable countermeasure, being annihilated would just be a matter of time.
"Wolf, take the control platform!"
With Wade dead, command fell to the Freedom Team's second-in-command, Fuyin. Before he died, Wade left a message for Fuyin: "If you can't kill that sorcerer, just take the control platform."
Clearly, with both Wang Yu and Evil Rampage present, the Freedom Team players couldn't possibly take down Spring Halo, so Fuyin directly bypassed the first step and executed Plan B—taking the control platform.
Receiving the order, Wolf leaped into the air and executed a Ground-Cracking Slash.
Wolf's figure shot upward again, soaring above the control platform, his massive sword blade pointing downwards as he aimed to smash it down on Qi Ao.
"What the hell!"
Seeing Wolf suddenly drop from the sky, Qi Ao was startled, rolling and scrambling to the edge of the control platform just in time to dodge Wolf's attack.
"Boom!"
Wolf's skill hit the control platform, causing it to wobble slightly.
"Rumble!"
At the same time, the ground below sank, and everyone fell into the lava.
"Wolf, you idiot, what are you doing!"
The members of the Freedom Team immediately yelled up at the sky.
Qi Ao was also flailing his arms and shouting, "Pull it out, pull it out quickly! This thing can only press two coordinates at most; if you press too many, it will all fall down!"
Although Wolf didn't fully understand what Qi Ao was saying, he got the gist of it and pulled his weapon out. Sure enough, the ground began to rise again.
Everyone on the ground broke into a sweat.
"Are you an idiot? Just pressing random buttons."
As the ground rose, Qi Ao let out a long sigh of relief and gave Wolf the middle finger in disdain.
Wolf's face darkened, and he swung his great sword at Qi Ao.
"Oh no! Help!"
Seeing this, Qi Ao panicked and shouted while dodging. However, the space on the control platform was more than enough for standing, but it was indeed a bit small for fighting, and in an instant, Qi Ao was struck by Wolf three or four times.
Qi Ao's health was already low, and Wolf's strikes were fierce. With just a few hits, he had taken away one-fifth of Qi Ao's health bar.
