Chapter 563

Seeing Score not fighting him nor running away, but quickly drawing his gun and sliding into the small dragon pit, Liang Yan was almost dumbfounded.

bur, bro, why aren't you giving up yet? You still want to go head-to-head on punishment with me?

Liang Yan immediately, without courtesy, performed a rebound jump back to the small dragon pit; as he landed and dealt E damage, he immediately followed with punishment, coordinating with the male gunner's just-finished basic attack, perfectly killing the small dragon.

Before Score even arrived, he had calculated the damage; his Q followed by auto attack then punishment would surely kill the small dragon instantly. But he didn't expect the opponent to actually insert himself in the middle of his A punishment. Score, in order to avoid punishment failure as much as possible, had already strived to synchronize his punishment with his basic attack. As a result, he was still intercepted by the opponent; the mantis almost landed his punishment at the exact moment the basic attack damage was dealt!

What the hell is that guy on the other side?

Is this a script?!

Score's face turned ashen, yet he had no other recourse; he could only make it to the wall edge before being tied up by the fan-wielding mother's dog leash, then flash over to meet up with frozen ice.

From sliding down to flashing up, it took less than a second.

Guan Zeyuan shouted: "What the hell? Sinister technique, demonic gun!"

Changzhang couldn't help but laugh: "It feels like Score still hasn't recognized himself; he's also quite bold, running over to compete in punishment with Liang Yan."

"Oh? Changzhang's comment... seems like he somewhat relates to it?"

"Uh, in the LPL, which jungler hasn't been sanctioned by him? And it's not just me."

"Does that mean no one has ever been able to win a punishment showdown against Jiao Shen?"

"No, never."

"Then that's really terrifying."

"So smart people wouldn't go for the big dragon while he's alive."

"Well, although this is the small dragon, the small fire dragon isn't bad either, and Jiao Shen also got a kill and even flashed the male gunner!"

"This play was actually just pure reliance on skill to force a win."

"Does having great skill mean you can do whatever you want?"

"There's nothing to be done; his skill has already surpassed that of an ordinary person."

The game time reached sixteen minutes.

Two junglers met in the upper river; Liang Yan, without hesitation, jumped straight into his face. Score predicted his landing spot, threw a smoke bomb, then followed up with his R. The recoil from the ultimate explosion plus the quick gun draw canceling the backswing allowed two displacements, letting Score successfully open up some distance.

Liang Yan didn't pursue; he ate the river crab and walked on, cutting straight across the middle lane in front of KT's duo, then leapt over the wall from the side path and swooped into the blue side's F6 base.

Just then, the male gunner who had come around the flank hoping to take F6 ran into him.

Score again fled in defeat.

At this time, although KT still had the bottom lane duo hold mid lane, their wave-clear efficiency could no longer compare to VG's bottom lane duo; the Bomb Man could clear a wave in under five seconds even in non-cannon lanes and didn't need help from a support, while Frost's Volley was a pseudo-AOE skill (since its projectiles could be blocked), offering no convenient wave-clear method—even with Zyra's help, the wave-clear speed was still inferior to the Bomb Man's—so they could only stay under the turret to soak the wave.

With mid lane priority providing cover, plus his own huge lane advantage, Liang Yan naturally invaded without hesitation.

Gangzi finished clearing the wave and moved toward the river, while Xiao Duan's Karma immediately moved forward, pattering up from the river to escort Liang Yan.

Score gritted his teeth, took the small path behind the wall opposite the red buff camp, used the Explosive Fruit to speed up, intending to quickly go and clear the Stone Armor Beetle.

As a result, just after being flung by the Explosive Fruit and landing, a Soul Flare exploded right under his feet, and immediately a dog chain snapped onto him.

Even a support is coming to bully me?!

Damn!

Score cursed loudly, but knowing the mantis was about to arrive, he dared not linger, quickly pulled his gun and broke the chain, then ran toward the exit of the jungle behind the second turret in the bottom lane.

After Xiao Duan chased Score away, he boasted in the team voice channel:

"How about it, Jiao Shen—can you spare me a little stone to nibble on later?"

"Sure."

Liang Yan casually agreed, raising his hand to ping the bottom lane,

"Marquis can push forward a bit."

"No problem."

This is a normal invasion that, after succeeding, naturally turns into a 3-on-1 against Jayce, who is alone defending the bottom lane; KT knows that neither Jayce's kill nor the first blood turret can be easily given up, so they directly have Lanbo teleport down early to help defend.

Liang Yan had originally planned to take another Stone Armor Beetle to reach level 11 and unlock his level 2 ultimate before acting, but seeing the situation he immediately changed his plan, bringing Xiao Duan straight out of the jungle and just in time intercepting the male gunner who wanted to run to the first turret to meet up with Jayce and the Lanbo who was about to teleport down.

"Lanbo has landed, but Score was blocked back to the second turret, the barrels also came down, KT's duo is rushing over here, though Frost has a long-range support ability—though it's a bit luck-dependent—all things considered, this fight should be considered a 4v… three? Or a 4v2?"

"It's a 4v2, but the enemy has external support."

"Shall we fight VG? I think the risk is a bit high, Lanbo activates his flame breath, clearing minions while building up heat—feeling like we should… huh?! Sheng Qiang Ge suddenly casts Explosive Barrel, blasting Lanbo away! The body slam rushes forward to catch the ball with his chest! Marquis uses Q-R to push back the weak retreat! One move, Heavenly Maiden Scatter Flowers, instantly kills Smeb—my goodness!"

"Sheng Qiang Ge played that beautifully!"

"However, after Pawn's shot landed, he also rushed in to strike! The burst damage is also extremely high! Marquis didn't dodge or counter the barrel's control skill, having used all of them already, which is a bit dangerous!"

"Fortunately the fight is happening outside the turret, and the minions are still tanking it! Xiao Duan rushes from behind to give Marquis a shield!"

"But Pawn won't have it! He directly hammered Syndra away!"

"Syndra is down to a sliver of health!"

"Xiao Duan flashed and tried to shield, but didn't manage to put it up! After Pawn knocked the person back, he immediately flashed and killed them!! Goodness, this fat general—he can even kill someone like this!"

"Look behind, look behind—there's fighting breaking out back there too!"

When the fight broke out, Score saw Karma leaving the mantis's side and tried to forcefully break through the mantis's blockade to regroup and fight side‑by‑side with his teammates.

Liang Yan naturally wouldn't let him pass; a spray of his W intercepted him.

Score, as usual, first threw a smoke grenade then quickly pulled his gun and slid away.

Liang Yan likewise activated his ultimate to speed up and catch up, with two swipes of his claws scraping off nearly half a health bar from the male gunner whose passive hadn't stacked up among the pure guys, reducing his total health to below one third!

At that moment, Pawn had just finished killing Easyhoon; when the camera panned over, all that could be seen was the mantis first turning back to break the turret's aggro, and when everyone thought he was giving up the chase, he suddenly did a back‑jump.

The winged void mantis glided lightly across the sky of Summoner's Rift, tapped lightly on the male gunner's head, then took off again and finally landed outside the turret.
