" Mountain Lord Yu, the Mountain Guan Yu, initiated the attack on Fly Mulan, then instantly followed up with Flash dash and jump using his first, second, and third skills. With Ice Armor activated, my god, that was Immortal Technique Maneuver! It was the Frost Flying Horse Plunge technique that Exalted Emperor had developed himself at the Overlord Feast!"
The commentator, with his Pingzi agape like a Gatling gun, unleashed his full power. "Fly's Mulan instantly became low on health, he countered by closing in and silencing Mountain Lord Guan Yu, then Flash and used his second skill to counterattack..."
Li Jiu suddenly jumped up, roaring excitedly, "It's Twin Walk, Fly's desperate burst, unleashing Mulan Immortal Technique Maneuver!"
Pingzi's heart leaped into his throat. "After their clash of magical attacks, both of them are severely weakened, and all their skills are on cooldown. They can only resort to melee combat, fighting with basic attacks!"
The live stream camera immediately switched to the red team's crystal base.
"On the other hand, Sovereign Dominion's super minions in the mid lane entered the enemy's crystal. Chonghuang, Exalted Emperor Gongsun Li three did not immediately focus their fire on the crystal. Instead, they tacitly lingered in place, waiting for the outcome of Mountain Lord Fly's battle."
"But the super minions' damage is just too high; the crystal is losing health very quickly—one hit, two hits, three hits..."
Just one second before the red team's crystal exploded.
A kill banner that caught everyone's attention lit up!
" Mulan defeats Guan Yu!"
"Holy... my God!" Li Jiu roared excitedly, "Fly Mulan has killed Guan Yu Mountain Lord Guan Yu!"
However, the next second...
The red crystal exploded with a deafening roar.
A dazzling kill banner lit up!
Guan Yu defeats Mulan!
"This is... mutual destruction?" Pingzi was shocked, his heart filled with turmoil. He had thought about Mountain Lord Guan Yu winning, and he had also thought about Mulan winning, but he never expected it to be a mutual destruction ending.
The audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room erupted in uproar.
"Holy crap? Mountain Lord and Fly are going to perish together!"
"Guys, I just got online. Who won between Mountain Lord and Fly?"
"They Immortal Technique Maneuver, then fought with basic attacks. Both were down to their last sliver of health when they simultaneously unleashed their fatal basic attacks, resulting in their simultaneous deaths. Therefore, there's no clear winner or loser; it should be considered a draw!"
Fly won!
At this moment, Gemini's voice came through the loudspeaker and spread throughout the venue. Not only were the live broadcast room and the audience stunned, but even the two commentators, Li Jiu Pingzi, were somewhat puzzled.
They both perished; it should have been a draw. Why say Fly won?
Gemini couldn't hide his excitement, "Everyone, don't forget, the kill announcements in King of Glory are based on the order in which heroes die. In other words, Fly killed the Mountain Lord first, and then was killed by the Mountain Lord!"
These words caused an immediate uproar in the audience.
Gemini's words are reasonable and well-founded. Although it is impossible to tell who died first with the naked eye, the order of kill announcements can be used to draw a conclusion!
The fans who were there to support Fly were ecstatic!
"Get excited, everyone! Feiniu has defeated Mountain Lord!"
"Waaaah! Even a broken tile can rise again, and even the east wind can turn its back! Six years ago, Fly swore an oath to defeat the Champion Emperor Mountain Lord, and six years later, that vow has been fulfilled in the arena where Clash of Kings!"
"What a damn pity! This isn't the arena for Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor. Even if you kill the Champion Emperor Mountain Lord, you won't get the Champion Emperor. Besides, Fly won against the Mountain Lord, but lost the match!"
In the commentary booth, Li Jiu, Pingzi, and Gemini composed themselves and applauded in unison to congratulate the team.
"Congratulations to the title-chasing team Sovereign Dominion for defeating the title-defending team 2-0! Captain of Sovereign Dominion, Exalted Emperor, for being crowned King! He has earned the title of King of the Clash Lane of the 4th Clash of Kings!"
"We hope that Exalted Emperor can deliver an even more spectacular performance in tomorrow's battle for the Supreme King Title!"
Red team's playing area.
"I'm sorry, Brother Niu."
The Xiaopang looked guilty.
"Why are you apologizing to me?" Fly chuckled, ruffling the Xiaopang boy's head. "If you guys hadn't held the crystal for ten minutes, fighting to the very last moment, I would never have been able to kill the Mountain Lord again."
Xiaopang's eyes were red-rimmed, and he bit his lip tightly. "But you've lost your title of King of the Clash Lane."
"But I still have the Supreme King Title title," Fly said optimistically, patting the Xiaopang on the shoulder. "Alright, alright, at least until the end of tomorrow's match, I'm still the King of the Clash Lane and the Supreme King-Titled Player."
Xiaopang's tears fell in a steady stream, and he choked out, "It's all my fault, Brother Niu! It's all my fault for being such a terrible jungler, dragging you down! It's all my fault!"
The Yaodao beside him had tears in his eyes. " Brother Niu, just scold us. The more indifferent you seem, the more upset we feel."
"I'm really not upset," Fly said, both amused and exasperated.
"Real?"
"Really, really." Fly opened his arms and hugged Xiaopang and Yaodao respectively, his smile bright, but a hint of sadness flashed deep in his eyes. It would be a lie to say he wasn't sad, after all, he had a heart too.
The handshake ceremony upon departure.
Fly and the others shook hands with the Sovereign Dominion players.
" Exalted Emperor, congratulations on your coronation as king, becoming the new King of the Clash Lane." Fly grasped Exalted Emperor's left hand, forcing a smile. "But I truly didn't expect you to be able to recruit Champion Emperor Mountain Lord as a teammate."
"Neither you nor I expected this," Su Hang said with deep emotion. "If Deputy Hu hadn't revealed his identity Mountain Lord, I'd probably still be in the dark."
Fly was stunned.
Su Hang half-jokingly said, "After what happened with Deputy Hu, I now feel like everyone is hiding their identity. Like you, judging from your micro-management details and playing style, I think you're a lot like Chou Ox."
Fly's eyes widened, his expression as if he'd seen a ghost.
He quickly waved his hands in protest. "You must be joking. I'm Feiniu, how could I be Imperial Crown's Chou Ox? Besides, everyone in the industry knows that Imperial Crown doesn't allow its members to participate in public competitions."
Su Hang withdrew his hand and left, thinking, "Yes, perhaps I was overthinking it."
It was time to shake hands with the Mountain Lord.
Fly felt a mix of emotions. Even though he had surpassed his peak and used his Immortal Technique Maneuver, he still couldn't defeat the man in front of him.
The Mountain Lord sized him up and said, "Damn it, not bad, Feiniu. Six years ago, you could only last three moves against me at most. Six years later, you actually managed to take me down!"
Fly laughed and said, "At best, it's a draw between us."
How can it be considered a tie?
Fly was stunned. "If it's not a tie, then what is it?"
"You've won this time!" Mountain Lord grasped Fly's hand, exclaiming with boundless pride, "I'll be waiting for your challenge at the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor at the end of August!"
"Clam?"
Watching the Mountain Lord's departing figure.
Fly was somewhat lost and bewildered. He knew that the Exalted Emperor was likely to win the contest for the Supreme King Title title tomorrow, and how could he possibly participate in the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor after losing the title of Supreme King Title?
"I have a bad feeling about this."
