Chapter 309

Tarzan, who had already lost his rhythm, urgently needed a fulcrum to help him return to the game.

Seeing the minion wave converge and Qiyana showing signs of pressing forward again, Sejuani walked straight out of the brush above!

Qiyana's positioning was clearly leaning low; she didn't seem surprised to see Sejuani appear, turning to head toward the tower while throwing a grass element at her.

But she didn't expect Sejuani to Q-Flash directly into her!

The grass element bloomed to cover her figure, but Sejuani, with extremely high proficiency, whipped her Q-W in mid-air, successfully arching a phantom figure at the hidden spot, and then whipped out two more layers of Frost passive.

Jarvan IV, who was crouching not far behind, hurried out.

Seeing that Jarvan IV was still level three, Tarzan felt a surge of joy.

Jarvan IV being level three meant the opponent's lower half of the map was still fully intact.

As long as they forced Qiyana to recall this wave, the mid laner could cover him to forcibly invade at least one camp of F6 in Jarvan IV's lower jungle before Qiyana could TP back.

Although he would still be down a camp, it would significantly reduce his losses!

"Sejuani must have guessed Jarvan IV was counter-ganking, so she acted decisively to focus fire!"

"But Xun had no intention of preserving his health, E-Qing in without hesitation!"

Actually, analyzing from a bystander's perspective, Qiyana couldn't die here since she had Flash; Jarvan IV's best decision should have been to cover from the side to prevent the opponent from chasing deep, and not going in to preserve health for the upcoming jungle skirmish would have been the correct move.

But Xun didn't care about any of that.

You can't touch my big brother!

Azir set up sand soldiers to poke Jarvan IV, but always kept a safe distance from the grass element behind to prevent being focused by the opponent.

Sejuani, meanwhile, attacked Jarvan IV while moving toward the edge of the grass element near the defensive tower.

Qiyana already had two layers of {Frost Mark} on her.

And Sejuani's passive lasts for 5 seconds, while the grass element only lasts for 3 seconds—the almost simultaneous attack was enough to ensure the opponent couldn't use the grass element to pull away, forcing her to use Flash!

As long as Qiyana also used Flash, LNG could call it a day on this play.

Qiyana, having been poked down, would definitely have to recall, which was pure profit!

But then.

Although the grass element had begun to "dissipate"...

At first, Qiyana's figure was not seen within it!

Come to think of it, "Grass Element" doesn't disappear all at once.

Instead, when the 3-second duration ends, it starts from the point of origin and "rolls up" like a carpet, gradually shrinking toward the end of the skill.

It rolls back about every 0.3 seconds, and the endpoint also has a delay.

Therefore, if one stands at the very edge of the grass element, one can at most "extend the stealth" by nearly 1 second!

Sejuani, waiting like a rabbit for a tree, never expected that the hidden Qiyana wouldn't stand at the end near the tower, but instead ran in the opposite direction toward the upper river.

"Chase, chase, chase!"

Sejuani immediately stopped her entanglement with Jarvan IV and turned with Azir to chase Qiyana!

The range of the grass element isn't too large; although running in the opposite direction slightly opened up some distance, it was definitely not enough to reach a safe distance.

The two from LNG didn't intend to kill her initially—but at this moment, the position where the opponent was fleeing was completely opposite to the defensive tower.

It seemed there really was a chance!

With the Blue Buff, Sejuani's W whip was about to come off cooldown, and Azir also used his Q to slow her down, but still held back his E skill.

Even if Qiyana used Flash now, she couldn't quickly escape to the tower, and Azir, holding his E, could drift and Flash to chase at any time; not even Jarvan IV could stop him!

"Xun, kill the pig!"

Hearing the command, Xun was absurdly decisive, ignoring the half-health Azir and flashing onto the Sejuani who was in better condition, forcibly auto-attacking to supplement damage, and then poking out the off-cooldown 【Dragon Strike】 to break her armor.

But although Jarvan IV flashed and auto-attacked to trigger his reset passive 【Martial Cadence】 and followed up with a Q, it only brought Sejuani's health down to a little over half.

No matter how you look at it, a big pig with 60% health is still very safe.

And Sejuani's W whip also came off cooldown at the same time, already thrown out to slow Qiyana at the limit range.

Azir was also preparing to set up sand soldiers to drift and chase.

But Qiyana moved first.

One could only see Qiyana's movements in the air like an assassin's dance, her wrists flipping with lightning speed, and the target barely saw anything before being kicked in the face...

Accompanied by a loud "elemental explosion" that seemed to be more than two sounds.

The pupils of the chasing Scout and Tarzan instantly dilated.

"!?"

The air seemed to fall into silence at this moment.

A pig swaying and falling, and a screen turning gray, became the focus of the entire arena!

"Ah!?"

"What happened?"

"She got one-shot???"

The three on the commentary desk were stunned for a while.

Barrier immediately widened his eyes and shouted exaggeratedly: "Oh my god! Qiyana is naked-item here! Naked-item!"

"A level four naked-item Qiyana can one-shot a 60% health Sejuani in an instant!?"

Gugu was also full of confusion: "Is this damage correct..."

Wang Duoduo recovered and shouted excitedly: "Qiyana actually counter-killed Sejuani! In this case, Azir has no possibility of chasing, fortunately, the junior kept his E skill in hand, and immediately turned to set up sand soldiers to run away!"

【What kind of damage is that? She can one-shot a pig with that much health!?】

【Oh my, supermodel!】

【I won't watch the Victoria's Secret show this year if she's not in it, pure supermodel!】

【No problem, Master Ye, why did she run to the river? Because she wanted to trigger the bloom reaction with the grass element in the river! Too detailed!】

【Indeed, I am the Empress of Elements, what's wrong with triggering an elemental reaction and having explosive damage?】

Choosing to kill Sejuani was because Sejuani's Q skill has a long cooldown and she had no Flash, leaving no room for extra maneuvers.

Compared to Azir, who had E and Flash, it was clearly the safest choice.

But at this moment, Scout was full of shock...

Thinking that he was just a split second away from E-Qing in, he was filled with lingering fear!

What kind of damage was that?

Unlike the chat, which was all joking about stats and supermodels.

Although Scout didn't like playing high-risk assassins like Qiyana, which were uncomfortable in lane, he still knew roughly what the damage range of this hero was.

Even with the armor penetration from Jarvan IV's Q, that damage just now was clearly not right...

"Qiyana gets First Blood directly! And even Sejuani's Blue Buff!"

"Laning is going to be so comfortable now!"

Actually, Qiyana's laning is definitely not that strong; even with First Blood, Azir could still handle the lane after recalling.

But Qiyana, who was not short of mana at all, could directly become a "poke monster," just clearing minions from a distance with Q-W-Q.

Azir had no way to deal with it!

But Scout knew very well that he absolutely could not let the opponent push the lane; this was the bottom line.

Azir already had almost no ability to support the jungle, and Sejuani's jungle was already a bit dizzy; once Qiyana's minion wave was liberated and she started running around, the jungle would definitely enter hell mode!

Scout wasn't worried about the jungle.

Once the jungle was completely lost, the mid laner's life definitely wouldn't be easy; this was a relationship of mutual dependence.

More importantly, thinking about the importance of this Bo5, and the mid laner on the opposite side... and his own bonus!

Scout gritted his teeth and gathered all his focus, striving not to make any small mistakes in laning.

At 5 minutes, the small dragon refreshed, and Jarvan IV, with a huge jungle advantage, went to start the dragon openly.

Knowing there was no suspense in the contest, the mid laners from both sides naturally had no reason to lose minions to go help, and continued to lane passionately.

It's just that both of them had ulterior motives.

Both sides clearly had ideas, and as they approached level six, the mid lane seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.

And Scout knew the opponent would reach level six faster due to the kill experience, so he pushed the lane forward with all his might, while calling Tarzan, who was about to counter-jungle, to counter-gank.

Qiyana was also fighting for the minion wave, while throwing out another grass element to hide her figure, quietly picking up a water element in her hand again.

But Scout didn't retreat at all this time, relying on having someone behind him and still holding Flash, wanting to fight for level six with all his might.

But right within the stealth space enchanted by the grass element.

A hidden upgrade dazzle suddenly rose quietly after a naturally dying minion fell, but no sound or movement was perceived by the outside world.

"Qiyana's grass-Q didn't clear the front-row minions, but a back-row minion died just in time to help her reach level six, what precise experience calculation!"

"And Azir seems like he didn't notice... Good heavens! Master Ye's idea of upgrading while hiding in the brush!"

"But Sejuani is also behind!"

Qiyana walked out of the stealth brush, and Azir suddenly noticed the change in the number above her head, and was suddenly horrified.

He raised his foot and E-d 【Shifting Sands】 out; Azir, close to the wall, reacted extremely quickly and flashed downward to escape, wanting to dodge the ultimate, while Sejuani also walked out quickly from behind.

But soon, Scout was shocked again.

Because Qiyana didn't use the most common E-R combo this time, and didn't use her ultimate 【Supreme Display of Talent】 during the E skill!

This was undoubtedly a game of assassination.

Qiyana's E-R combo would knock up with R before E arrived, so it was impossible to react afterward, and one could only Flash in advance.

Scout was already focused to the max, only then able to Flash the moment he saw the E.

But the calm Ye Bo was clearly still a step ahead in the game!

"I'm two minions away from six! Two minions!"

Fortunately, Azir's Flash position this time was quite good.

He separated himself from Qiyana as much as possible and flashed to the middle of the minion wave, a long way from the wall, so even if Qiyana flashed to push now, it would be impossible to push him into the wall.

But Qiyana still flipped her circular blade and released the majestic elemental power, an elemental shockwave rushing toward Azir!

Scout was stunned for a moment when he saw this.

But... Qiyana's ultimate isn't just for "pushing into walls."

The next moment, Azir's figure had already been knocked back 200 yards, falling to the left bank of the mid lane.

At the same time, a water element Q followed, imprisoning his figure.

The next moment, the ground began to rapidly follow the trajectory of the shockwave, spreading elemental ripples to rush toward Azir!

【Supreme Display of Talent】 doesn't just detonate "walls" with earth elements.

It can also detonate "rivers" with water elements.

And "brush" with grass elements.

And the latter two, like the most common wall push, have the same damage and control effects!

Where Azir was at this moment, although it seemed like a long distance from the river—but here, it was a section of "waterless river" on the mid lane minion wave!

Azir and Sejuani, who came to cover from behind, were instantly stunned together by the resonance of the water element river!

"That ultimate pushed them too!!"

"Qiyana basically hit all her skills and all her damage! Bad! Azir still hasn't reached level six!"

Azir was already heavily damaged after breaking free from control, and could only drive his sand soldiers to forcibly kill minions to reach level six, then turn and use his ultimate to try to escape.

But Qiyana used another "Flash-through" to cross the familiar Emperor's Divide.

Looking straight at Azir's face!

Sejuani was like an incompetent husband, only able to watch helplessly as Qiyana W-stole another earth element, and with a critical strike, slashed him to death!

"Qiyana Flashed to dodge the ultimate and completed the kill!"

"This is Master Ye's operation!"

Barrier shouted excitedly, waving his arms: "It's truly a feast for the eyes! This is what an assassin is! It has to be Master Ye's assassin! He plays for the solo kill!"

【The Thief Saint is here! The Thief Saint is here! The Thief Saint is here!】

【The hand is really heavy... Give me more force!】

【Hehe, just hero counter-picking, what are you pretending for】

【Indeed, indeed, just assassin vs mage, melee vs ranged, short-range vs long-range, wheel vs staff, one person fighting an army! Boring!】

【Can the fans still output in a headwind? Truly invincible~】

【Don't know what the Thief is doing, when killing a pig during the New Year, even the pig knows how to run, how come he doesn't?】

Scout's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

The atmosphere in the LNG voice chat was a bit off.

Support Hang wanted to ease the atmosphere: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not a big problem, we are a late-game composition~~"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Hang, who was rebuked by the team's big brother, didn't dare to be cheeky anymore.
