The feeling of falling from the heavens down to the earth was something that Wind Following Sword understood now.
Letting Lord Grim escape wasn't too bad, but the worst part was that Lord Grim had crushed Wind Following Sword's confidence. He had just built it up and was filled with tremendous self-confidence, only for it to be destroyed in an instant.
He had originally thought that what he had been doing was amazing, but it had actually been pointless work. When he pulled off the feat, Lord Grim had already rushed out of the opening. In the end, he had been able to escape.
Wind Following Sword's fingers had turned numb for real this time.
Spinning Spiderweb Formation. The word spinning pointed to maintaining a constant circle around the target. Even if the target didn't react intensely, the players in the formation had to keep on moving. Especially since, this time, Excellent Dynasty's goal was to clear away all the Christmas thieves around Lord Grim, which required them to move even more.
Having not received any orders for a while, some of the players were beginning to message him, asking what was up.
"Lord Grim is already gone." Wind Following Sword replied without any embarrassment, only disappointment.
"Ah?"
Wind Following Sword sent another round of orders, but this time, it was to have the players pull back and monitor the entire area. The visibility in Sin City wasn't good. Maybe Lord Grim had intentionally stopped moving in some spot?
This seemed to be their last line of hope, but Wind Following Sword wasn't expecting anything.
The reality was as Wind Following Sword had predicted. Lord Grim was already outside of the Spinning Spiderweb Formation. Where did he go? He didn't know at the moment and would have to look.
"We failed......" Wind Following Sword messaged Chen Yehui.
"What?"
"Lord Grim escaped from our control." Wind Following Sword said.
"That doesn't matter. You guys were still able to delay him for an hour. In this hour, his ranking has been dropping. This is all because of your efforts. Keep up the good work!" Chen Yehui said.
Wind Following Sword was startled. Clearly, Chen Yehui didn't care that Ye Qiu had broken out. Even if he did, it had still delayed him for an hour. If they kept on doing this and maintained this type of delay, then Chen Yehui's goal would be reached.
Wind Following Sword understood this too, but he was no longer in the mood to continue doing this. In his heart, he was already the loser. And now, the loser had to keep on getting trampled by the other side. How could that be fun?
But he would still accomplish their goal...... Wind Following Sword forced himself to look from Chen Yehui's point of view. After replying to Chen Yehui, he renewed his spirits and rushed towards Sin City, while sending his players to search for Lord Grim.
If he was going to do it, then he would try his hardest to do it well. Wind Following Sword changed his attitude and his line of thinking.
Sin City.
Even though Ye Xiu had successfully escaped from the Spinning Spiderweb Formation, he knew that it wasn't over. He understood Excellent Dynasty's goal: to hinder his progress in the event and prevent him from messing with Excellent Dynasty's lead.
"They're too crazy! Such a large guild intends on competing with you?" Chen Guo was filled with disbelief.
"There's a lot of pressure as an expert. Even if you don't want to, you can't help but become another person's obstacle." Ye Xiu sighed, making Chen Guo really want to smash his head into the table. Even though he really was an expert, couldn't he be a little bit more modest?
