Nāgata: Infernal Night, Qinghan and I are True Love

Chapter 157 Battle Analysis.

This chapter explains the previous battle.

A hero's combat strength varies over time.

Therefore, we cannot analyze it solely based on its performance in the game.

This battle began when Shen Haisheng ordered the Shen family to open fire and bombard the snow-covered sky.

Xue Mantian was clearly caught off guard, so logically, even an ordinary Grandmaster would not be able to withstand the cannon head-on and would be blasted to death.

At this moment, Wuchen secretly sheltered Xue Mantian, reducing a large amount of artillery damage.

At this moment, Xu Tianyi reacted extremely quickly, braving the aftershocks to finish off Xue Mantian, severing his arm with a single sword strike, and then knocking him back to deliver a second blow.

Xue Mantian reacted and blocked Xu Tianyi's sudden attack with a punch, knocking him back.

This was Xue Mantian's hasty counterattack with the cultivation of a Grandmaster, clashing with Xu Tianyi's peak Grandmaster power at 70%, so it was reasonable for him to repel him.

Xu Tianyi made his move, and the others followed suit without hesitation, immediately coming over to beat the dog when it was down.

Snowflakes created distance, and using the Grandmaster's boundless true energy, he gathered a large number of qi swords to block the pursuit, while simultaneously activating a qi wall to block ranged musket attacks.

Yue Shan, Ning Hongye, and the others naturally thought this was his last-ditch effort, so they wouldn't use their ultimate move but instead chose to wear down his opponent. Although he had unlimited true energy, his arm was injured and bleeding.

At this moment, Ji Canghai was ambushed by Hu Wei and forced to retreat into the Qi Sword, where he could only defend himself.

Hu Wei naturally wanted to help Xue Mantian, this benefactor.

But he noticed that Xue Mantian was bleeding profusely, and he became anxious. He took the initiative to unleash his ultimate skill to help relieve the pressure on Xue Mantian, and at the same time, he took the opportunity to sneak attack Yue Shan, who was still resisting the Qi sword, and snatch his horse-slaying sword.

Xu Tianyi and the others wanted to take down Xue Mantian, a Grandmaster, first, and then deal with Hu Wei, a peak Grandmaster, later.

You would have made the same choice if you were in their shoes. This is a reasonable tactic, especially since you have Ji Canghai, who is also a Grandmaster at the peak, on your side.

Next, Hu Wei used his ultimate skill to let the low-health Xue Mantian leave first, while he held off Xue Mantian. Xue Mantian took out a teleportation talisman and ran away. Xu Tianyi and Gu Qinghan used their ultimate skills to try to interrupt him, but failed. Moreover, the two of them had already flown far away in order to interrupt him.

On the battlefield, Yue Shan was ambushed and sent flying by Hu Wei. Yue Pojun instinctively went to protect Yue Shan. When Ji Canghai saw Hu Wei get the Zhanmadao (horse-slaying sword), he also went back to get his sword.

Therefore, at this moment, Hu Wei was only facing Ning Hongye.

Ning Hongye had already instinctively responded when Hu Wei opened his ultimate skill; her choice was correct and her reaction was quick.

Hu Wei tried to pull away, but Shen Haisheng saw Ning Hongye use her ultimate move and immediately went to help her keep Hu Wei in place.

Hu Wei was caught in the trap, and Ning Hongye's ultimate skill hit Hu Wei. She subconsciously went up to finish him off.

This part is also logically sound. If you play Ning Hongye and stun someone, can you resist going up and attacking them?

As soon as they got close, they saw Hu Wei break free of control by using the comprehended intent, which was equivalent to reducing the control time. Hu Wei instantly gathered his strength to counterattack.

Upon hearing Xu Tianyi's reminder, Ning Hongye chose to use the power of the Candle Dragon's essence blood to resist, but time was too short and she couldn't fully mobilize it, so she was severely injured and knocked away by Hu Wei.

Seeing her sisters injured, Gu Qinghan didn't dare to go up and attack Hu Wei, so she chose to rescue Ning Hongye and prevent Hu Wei from finishing her off.

So far, Hu Wei hasn't made many moves.

He ambushed Ji Canghai, causing Ji Canghai to be controlled by the Qi Sword, and then used the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on Yue Shan to steal his knife.

Then he challenged Ning Hongye, whose cultivation level was lower than his own, to a one-on-one duel.

Throughout the entire battle, he only faced Ning Hongye, who was at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster level. How could it be said that a group of people ganging up on Hu Wei was difficult?

Next.

Hu Wei was already preparing to run away. He didn't actually suppress everyone; he just wanted to escape.

Despite his arrogance, he knows he's being watched.

It's like two teams are attacking your teammate, and you go up and steal a charged attack, swing your sword, and then severely damage one of them.

If your teammate runs away at this point, you definitely know that the person chasing your teammate is coming to get you. If you were in their shoes, you would want to run away too.

. . .

The moment Hu Wei knocked Ning Hongye away, Xu Tianyi, Ji Canghai, and Shen Haisheng all reacted.

Almost the instant Ning Hongye took flight, Hu Wei was also kicked to the ground by Ning Hongye's counterattack, which also knocked away Hu Wei's weapon.

Seeing the opportunity, Xu Tianyi immediately used his ultimate skill to finish off the enemy.

In his desperation, he slashed at Hu Wei, who was hastily counterattacking.

Both were of equal cultivation level and possessed the ability to cultivate, but Xu Tianyi had not cultivated for as long as Hu Wei, so Xu Tianyi was defeated, and Hu Wei was also defeated at the same time.

Hu Wei turned and dispersed Ji Canghai's long-range fireball, and then used the momentum to dodge Shen Haisheng's iron guard sneak attack.

The tiger pounced on Yue Shan, who was reluctant to use his ultimate move.

Up to this point, wasn't Hu Wei fighting desperately, narrowly escaping death every time?

The group's attacks and pursuits were swift; no one was momentarily stunned. Each move was a coordinated assault, with Hu Wei attempting to finish off his opponent.

Hu's plan to break through Yue Shan's encirclement and then rush into the group of guests was intended to make everyone hesitant to act rashly and go all out.

So until he broke out of the Shen family, no one caused him too much trouble.

After rushing out of the Shen family, Ji Canghai immediately used his ultimate skill to catch up.

There's also the speed issue here. Hu Wei's speed when he uses his ultimate ability is very fast, and only the Fire Dog with its ultimate ability can catch up with him. So the Fire Dog is the first to stop him and finds an excellent opportunity to ambush him and knock him away.

Even now, Hu Wei is still fleeing for his life, so he's not exactly a tough opponent.

After being stunned once, he landed and tried to steady himself, but Xu Tianyi immediately followed up with a finishing blow, creating a second stun. Then, Yue Shan caught Hu Wei, who was being knocked away by Xu Tianyi, and prepared to finish him off with a Dragon Tail Sweep.

If it weren't for the snow and teleportation, Hu Wei would already be dead.

Looking at the overall situation, Hu Wei didn't dominate anyone; at most, he bullied Ning Hongye, whose cultivation level was still low. The rest of the time was spent running for his life.

It would be a miracle if Hu Wei, with his exceptional combat talent, were to be instantly killed as soon as he stepped outside.

But when faced with a group of equally talented individuals, he was caught off guard and instantly killed.

The situation of being almost instantly killed by three people was not difficult at all.

. . . .

Therefore, this battle ended with Hu Wei's squad being routed and teleporting away.

Without teleportation, both of them would die.

I've written about the struggle for supremacy, so naturally, teamwork is essential. I won't be writing any solo or triple-player scenarios for the time being, though I might in the future, but I won't spoil it.

Throughout the fight, I strived to make it reasonable, logical, and realistic in terms of combat effectiveness.

Even Hu Wei's breakthrough on the spot was the result of prior foreshadowing, not a typical "feel-good" storyline where he suddenly awakens and fights back after being ganged up on.

Even Xu Tianyi's comprehension of the artistic conception was foreshadowed.

Others wouldn't suddenly become grandmasters without profound insights.

I hope that what I write is worth considering, or at least logically understandable and acceptable, rather than a wish-fulfillment story where Xu Tianyi suddenly kills Hu Wei and Xue Mantian with a single sword strike.

Finally, thank you to my brothers for their support. Such a big gift, I really don't know how to repay them.

Today's post counts as four chapters, but only two are the main text. I'll go back tomorrow, and the day after I'll have a computer and will release another big update to thank the two brothers who sent gifts to everyone. I also want to thank the brothers who have always supported and understood me.

Please follow me. I only need a few dozen more followers to start a fan group. I've been working hard for over a year, and I still can't get a thousand followers.

To be honest, I also bought 300 followers, haha...

(I was hoping to get some positive reviews, since I only have a 7.4 rating.)

But I haven't fixed the previous poison spots yet, so I'm too embarrassed to ask. I'll talk about it after I fix the previous poison spots.
