Chapter 409: 409
Yu Luocheng jumped forward and threw a handful of CC skills at Zed . Number One, who was on Zed, didn’t dare take it lightly anymore, obediently retreating and giving up on Baron .

After completely taking down Baron, Team Skycrown immediately recalled to base to regroup and prepare for their upcoming team fights .
Team Beijing was also being very cautious . Seeing that their opponent had Baron buff, they wouldn’t initiate a team fight with them .
Team Skycrown was not overly greedy either, dispatching the outer turret to increase the gold gained in the team, and at the same time taking control of the vision for that area .
They had not expected Team Beijing to be so strong . Many teams would usually be flustered after losing the advantage of a Baron . And once their jungle area was invaded, the chances of being caught alone were higher .
Second or third tier professional teams would often make these mistakes, but Team Beijing had not, which was a testament to their strength that made them worthy of being in the LPL .
Once the outer turret was taken down, Team Skycrown had a gold lead of 6,000 . To be honest, even with a 6,000 lead in late game, victory was still not guaranteed . Team Skycrown was not about to be complacent and let their guard down anytime soon .
Number One frowned as he gave out orders to the rest of his team, “Xiao Ju, be careful of your positioning, don’t suddenly die again . Heng Yi, get ready for the teamfight, you’ll initiate! Their Baron buff is about to wear off . ”
In the early stages of the game, they had been focusing on suppressing Kassadin . In the end, that guy managed to build it all back up in just that one wave . But it couldn’t be helped, Kassadin was just such an appalling champion!
Number One knew that they had to buy time, as their lineup would be stronger in late game . As long as they focused their assault and quickly dispatched their opponents, they could basically win the team fights . All they needed to do was to make sure that they did everything within the timeframe of Baron buff wearing off .
“It’s time . Rengar, go!” shouted Number One .
Heng Yi nodded his head as his Rengar went invisible . For a moment the opponents near him were displayed in a red color, only their body heat and beating hearts were visible .
This time, Rengar’s target was Lin Dong’s Sivir, and he suddenly jumped at her from the side!
Wu Sen reacted quickly, immediately stunning Rengar . But the rest of them rushed in at this time, and they didn’t know how to react .
Lin Dong activated his ulti, giving his team a boost of speed to reposition themselves . Team Beijing had also gotten smarter . They were not blindly throwing all their abilities out, and were instead letting Rengar tank some of the damage first before exchanging blows .
Lin Dong shouted to nobody in particular, “Can you see Zed?!”
Number One’s Zed was really terrifying . Lin Dong has already tasted the brutality of seeing his own champion die a vicious death, which is why he was being unusually cautious .

“Just focus on attacking, I’ll keep an eye out for him,” said Yu Luocheng .
Just as the words left his mouth, a shadow sprung forth, appearing right at Lin Dong’s blind spot!
The first thing you learn as an assassin is how to remain undetected . Number One’s ability at finding the best blind spot to launch his kill was really unmatched . This angle was exactly like stabbing someone in the back while their attention was completely focused on launching their attacks . It was almost impossible to prepare for this kind of ambush!
Lin Dong was completely unaware . He trusted Yu Luocheng and continued to focus on his attacks . Taking a step back, Wu Sen spotted Zed and cold sweat started pouring down his forehead .
“Lin Dong, watch out, I can’t Exhaust him!” shouted Wu Sen, a slight touch of hysteria in his voice .
Wu Sen was standing in front of Lin Dong and wouldn’t be able to turn around in time to throw an Exhaust .
Lin Dong pulled the camera angle back, only to realize that the terrifying Zed had appeared behind him . More horrifyingly, the only ally champion near him was Wu Sen’s Taric . The others were all up front, they wouldn’t be able to help him!
“He he he…”
A bone-chilling laugh that raised all the hair on their arms rang out as Zed activated his ulti, dissolving into the shadows and appearing behind Lin Dong .
“The moment you can see me, you’re already dead,” muttered Number One, his lips lifting into a smirk .
The greatest pleasure about playing Zed was the feeling of taking the head of an enemy in the middle of their army, and retreating with your own perfectly intact .
This time was no different, his ulti had been locked onto her . Even without using the skill from Blade of The Ruined King, he would be able to take down Sivir who didn’t even have Barrier up . He would then be able to R back to his original shadow, perfectly executing a kill without shedding a single drop of his own blood .
Sivir didn’t have anyone else near her, and Number One knew that Yu Luocheng’s Kassadin would be aiming for his own back line . However, compared to his Zed, Kassadin’s killing rate was definitely lower, because he purposely had his Support hold back his skills .
Woosh!
Suddenly, a mysterious shadow jumped out from the side .
And the next thing he knew, the health of Number One’s Zed had been reduced!
Number One’s mouth turned downwards as he realized that it was Kassadin .

He clearly saw Kassadin jumping in from another angle, activating Deathfire Grasp and immediately following up with Force Pulse and Null Sphere . All these abilities landed directly on Zed .
The three skills launched so closely to each other that it almost seemed like a single skill . The links were seamless, and the entire process took less than 0 . 3 seconds!
Seeing his health dropping dramatically in an instant, and seeing the burst from Kassadin in less than 0 . 3 seconds made Number One realize how their ADC had died so easily in the last team fight .
Yes!
0 . 3 seconds at most . This Kassadin used the shortest amount of time to release everything—Deathfire Grasp, Force Pulse and Null Sphere . The damage from the combination was breathtaking . If it wasn’t for the fact that he experienced it himself, Number One would never believe that there was someone who could flawlessly perform such a feat in such a short time!
For a moment, a chill went down Number One’s spine . Instead of trying to finish Kassadin off, he pressed R and took the chance to flee, completely abandoning the idea of performing his assassination .
Run!
He needed to run . Even with a magic resist item like Quicksilver Slash on him, Kassadin would most likely still be able to instantly kill him with just one burst of damage . He would die, even with his magic resist, so their ADC, Lucian, who didn’t have any at all, wouldn’t stand a chance .
“F*ck, where do you think you’re going!?”
Feeling the relief of narrowly avoiding death, Lin Dong watched as Yu Luocheng brought down a significant portion of Zed’s health . He turned and Flashed, throwing the Boomerang Blade . Number One’s reaction was equally fast, Flashing to get out of the crossblades’ return path and disappearing into his shadow .
“Ignore him, he’s already useless . Kill them,” said Yu Luocheng .
Yu Luocheng didn’t bother chasing down Zed to deliver the death blow . His focus was on those arrogant teammates of their opponents . Yu Luocheng’s damage was now very high, so he could completely ignore Rengar’s magic resist . His objective was to bring down Vi and Lucian!
Yu Luocheng was extremely cunning, jumping right into the middle of their opponents . Unleashing his Force Pulse, it hit and slowed three of them who were trying to retreat, and then he activated his Zhonya’s Hourglass for the first time .
After breaking their front line, Da Luo’s Mundo had recovered enough health, and he quickly followed up on Yu Luocheng’s assault . With a blind throw of his knife and Randuin’s Omen, he managed to halt Leona and Renger in their steps .
The opponent gave up easily, choosing to retreat .
This time, Yu Luocheng didn’t hold back and went for the kill . Letting out a loud roar, he took their heads!
The two kills were attributed to his teammates, and Yu Luocheng swept them up without any further gratitude . Even without securing the kill on Number One, the advantage of this game was completely established by Team Skycrown .
Pushing all the way in, Team Skycrown took the chance to go all the way into their opponent’s base and take the Inhibitor while they were two champions down .
The moment they brought down the Inhibitor, the crowd in Demacia Cafe let out a deafening cheer . The time was almost at thirty minutes, and this was just too f*cking satisfying!
“They somehow managed to win this team fight,” said Jojo .
Jojo didn’t have too deep an understanding of League of Legends . While Miracle didn’t see Yu Luocheng’s burst damage that almost killed Zed, he could guess what had probably happened .
“Not ‘somehow’ . If I’m not mistaken, Fighting Hawk was waiting for Zed to assassinate someone so he could intervene at the right moment . After silencing Zed and beating him down, Fighting Hawk managed to stop both Zed’s assassination attempt and his important ulti!”
With the Inhibitor taken, Team Skycrown retreated quickly, taking the jungle route and killing the creeps in there .
After regrouping, they once again appeared near their opponent’s base, facing off against them at the middle lane . Team Beijing’s top lane had already been pushed . Once the Super Minions arrived, Team Beijing would have to send someone to defend . At that time, Team Skycrown would be able to push the middle lane again .
Miracle mused, “Now they’re at a deadlock again . The Shanghai team is cautious, they’re not rushing into the base immediately…”
“Yeah . ”
Yu Luocheng’s Kassadin paced outside their opponent’s base, he didn’t bother hiding and boldly showed himself . He took note of the ADC’s position and also checked his items . It seemed that Lucian was building Guardian Angel but he didn’t have enough gold yet .
Yu Luocheng took a look at his own items . First he calculated the 35% magic penetration he had from Void Staff, 15 from his Sorcerer’s Shoes, and probably about 10 from his runes…
Ah, Lucian . You f*cking still dare to walk towards this wall!
Yu Luocheng moved Kassadin forward . It was obvious that Lucian was intending to use his skills to clear the minion wave, and his position was actually quite difficult to hit…
Woosh!
Suddenly, Yu Luocheng’s Kassadin jumped into the turret range .
Bamf!
Yu Luocheng pressed Flash immediately .
Using his ulti to jump towards his opponent and using his Flash, Yu Luocheng’s movements confused all of the people who were watching…
And soon, the entire Demacia Cafe and Noxus Club let out a cry of surprise .
He died!
Team Beijing’s ADC—Lucian, is dead!
This time, it wasn’t a mysterious confusing death as the observer camera angle was on Yu Luocheng . Everyone saw his Kassadin use Rift Walk to jump under turret in the middle of the five enemy champions, and use his Flash to get back out .
And Lucian, who had full health, died!
It was too fast!
It really happened in the blink of an eye!
In the past, when people saw a godlike play, their eyes would widen in disbelief . But this time, everyone was wide-eyed in fear instead .
Jumping in, killing, Flash back out . The entire process definitely did not exceed 0 . 5 seconds!
What the h*ll was 0 . 5 seconds?
Maybe an ordinary player could be stupefied, and a professional player could probably Cleanse in that timing…
But can you imagine being able to execute the entire complicated process of jumping in, killing, and retreating in such a short span of time?!
