Chapter 679

When the airplane fired its Gatling gun, spraying wildly onto its own face, BDD was dumbfounded—this guy had been 'gentle' in lane before, how did he suddenly become so aggressive?

The answer is obviously that someone is behind him.

Malaxiangguo's Mang Seng rushed out from the other side of the river, landing a Golden Bell Cover beside the airplane that blocked most of the damage from Orianna's W skill, then he threw a Heavenly Sound Wave at the equally unflashed Orianna's backside, hitting it and immediately following up.

Cuzz's mind went blank, forced to leave the crouching bushes and charge up to try to save someone.

The airplane got first blood; in a 2v2 they already had the advantage, and Orianna's ultimate was on cooldown. Even though Cuzz calculated that his own damage plus Orianna without her ultimate, if fully unleashed, could kill the airplane instantly, the plan changed—Mang Seng's simple shield shattered Cuzz's instant‑kill dream, because Orianna's W skill was blocked by the shield for much damage, forcing them to land several more basic attacks to kill the airplane—by then Orianna was already dead.

So the enemy had intent while we were oblivious; Cuzz realized this wave could no longer kill the airplane no matter what, so he focused on saving his teammate, trying to lose as little as possible.

But even this goal couldn't be achieved.

Although Mang Seng didn't have his ultimate this time, the airplane that returned to lane picked up a Little Hammer (a small item synthesized from Trinity Force, adding attack and health).

"BDD used Flash after being caught in the previous wave! After eating Malaxiangguo, the Muscle and Bone Breaking Palm greatly reduced his movement speed, making it impossible to open distance!

"BDD landed a Cocoon Stun on Malaxiangguo, but Xiaohu kept auto‑attacking!

"One hit! Two hits! BDD is low!

"Another rocket! BDD twisted to dodge!

"Just one basic attack away! But Xiaohu almost couldn't keep up with the distance! Then another rocket came! BDD twisted again! Didn't dodge! Got blown up!!

"Logged out! Got the second kill!!!

Xiaohu took off! This plane is invincible!

Historically, Xiaohu's nickname 'Hu Jiu Wan' was earned in the fourth game of the S7 Summer Playoffs semifinals Bo5 against WE, and then in the S8 Spring Split, Xiaohu again dealt 80,000 damage in a game using the plane, while the S7 regular season hasn't even ended yet, so neither of these events has happened.

But there is no doubt that the champion Plane is one of Xiaohu's representative champions this season, and in the LPL region it can be called the 'Plane Human Pillar'.

Now, LZ has actually been taken down for two kills by the 'Plane Human Pillar' just ten minutes ago—what will happen next is easy to imagine.

What's even more surprising is that at around the 12-minute mark, LZ, in order to set up and take the Xia Gu Xian Feng, Cuzz on the top lane teamed up with Khan's Prince to forcefully dive the tower aiming to kill Letme's Shen, but they failed to kill him, and instead Khan gave the kill to Letme!

Afterwards, RNG seized the opportunity to launch a wave of momentum, taking down the outer turret and the Xia Gu Xian Feng together, their economic lead breaking past three thousand gold, entering the mid-game with a big advantage!

By this point, the Han Guo casters finally realized something was wrong, and the LCK broadcast began to be filled with the Han Guo casters' lamentations.

Meanwhile, in the LPL backstage, when Letme survived the tower dive and even killed one, everyone started frequently turning their heads toward VG's side, their eyes unable to hide their surprise.

——Amazing, Letme actually can really take on Khan!

Could this guy be the great prophet?

It's no wonder everyone thinks that way—it's truly too bizarre, Letme's previous performance was seen by all, a recognized weakling, and when facing strong opponents he always ends up in a losing struggle and can't hold up under pressure. Yet today, against the LCK's top laner, he actually held his ground!

This is too amazing!

No one could have imagined, something even more awesome is still to come.

Around the 26-minute mark, Dragon Pearl's economic deficit broke through the 5000 gold mark.

Although Cuzz's lane advantage kept expanding, the team's overall disadvantage kept growing, especially in the mid lane matchup—Bdd's spring champion taking a rocket from the plane loses about one-third health, which is terrifying, making laning almost impossible.

Dragon Pearl's everyone realized that continuing like this would be a slow death; after discussion, they finally decided to look for an opportunity to steal Baron, and if they couldn't, they would simply force a fight and go all-in on a teamfight.

After some covert maneuvering, Dragon Pearl had Khan lure Letme to the bottom lane to lane, while the rest positioned themselves in the Shang Ban Qu to set up for stealing Dragon/Baron or forcing a fight.

After confirming that the proactive lane-switching Khan had already cleared the wave and retreated to a good teleport spot, Dragon Pearl directly started taking Baron.

RNG quickly noticed Dragon Pearl stealing Baron; when Baron was at about half health, the four players from mid, bottom, and jungle gathered in the river, but due to Dragon Pearl's prior vision setup, RNG was at an absolute disadvantage in river vision.

During the tug-of-war, Baron's health dropped to about one-third.

The teamfight suddenly erupted.

Then, the most amusing moment of this Intercontinental Tournament appeared.

When RNG, in order to protect Malaxiangguo's Mang Seng, entered the smite range and made their formation too tight, Dragon Pearl initiated the teamfight, and Cuzz flashed out from the dragon pit with a Cocoon Strike, stunning RNG's absolute damage core at that moment—Xiaohu's plane.

At the same time, on the bottom lane, Khan's Prince hid in the brush and used his teleport.

However, Khan didn't know that the brush at the river mouth he was standing in was warded!

When Letme left base, he originally intended to keep going back to top lane, but upon seeing Khan appear in bottom lane he hastily changed direction from the Ye Qu to bottom lane, and before reaching bottom lane, Letme carefully placed a ward through the wall into the river mouth brush.

The moment Letme noticed Khan beginning to teleport, he didn't hesitate, dropped the lane minion wave before the tower and rushed over, directly using an E-flash through the wall to interrupt Khan's teleport.

The director, anticipating that a clash would also erupt there as Letme approached the river, cut to a small window outside the upriver teamfight view.

Thus everyone saw what happened next:

"Xiaohu was taken out!"

"Xiaohu can't die—if he dies, it's over!"

"Fortunately, the Dragon Pearl's firepower is a bit lacking and Xiaohu has the Little Demon Blade to block a lot of damage! Xiaohu didn't die! After landing, he swapped flashes to create distance!"

"But the Dragon Pearl's killing intent is set—everyone keeps rushing at Xiaohu's face just to kill him!"

"It's over! Xiaohu's going to crash!!!"

"But wait! Look at the small window!"

"On the bottom lane, Letme decisively used an E-flash to taunt and interrupt Khan's teleport support! Immediately after, he himself directly placed his ultimate on Xiaohu, adding a thick shield to protect the pursued plane!!"

"Wow! Letme!!"
