Chapter 459: Supreme Martial Art!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Having been chased down by Asmodai for a while now, Luocheng’s health had dropped down by half already. The only armor item in his inventory was a Chain Vest, and for Ezreal who had a Last Whisper, this didn’t do much for defense.
He paused for a moment, and then Luocheng suddenly turned around with a kick!
This kick was like a Brazilian-level kick rather than their own national football-level kick, and even though Asmodai side-stepped subconsciously to avoid, he was still clipped by the edge of the Sonic Wave.
However, it was obvious that Asmodai was not afraid of Luocheng’s kick. With his damage and lifesteal, even if Luocheng flew over, it would be hard to say who would die instead.
Luocheng took note of Asmodai’s position.
With Ezreal having about one thousand health points left, it was almost impossible to kill him. Even if Luocheng used a RQ-combo, the damage he could deal was only about eight hundred. If Asmodai didn’t have his Barrier, Luocheng would still have dared to try and push his luck...
But it was obvious that Asmodai still had his Barrier, and in that case, it was impossible for him to kill Asmodai.
Glancing again at Asmodai’s position, he also took note of Hades’ Ziggs’ position.
There were only three champions left in Team Daemons, one of them was Asmodai’s Ezreal, a low-health Shyvana, and a two-thirds health Ziggs.
Hades was fighting Wu Sen and Da Luo, dealing a massive amount of damage. Even for Da Luo, stepping through the Hexplosive Minefield damaged his body by quite a substantial amount.
“This won’t work, even if we kill Asmodai, Hades’ Ziggs can come in and clean up.” Luocheng didn’t think that Hades would find the perfect position to attack. He was dealing the highest damage and at the same time, managed to preserve his health. If he had a blue buff, Ziggs would be the ticking bomb that could wipe the floor with Team Skycrown.
Eh?
He took a few steps forward, this was a good chance!
A bold thought flashed through Luocheng’s mind. Luocheng was a player who dared to take risks, and when he thought it was feasible, he would try it out boldly!
Resonating Strike!
Luocheng’s Lee Sin flew up, dashing toward Asmodai’s Ezreal.
Asmodai did not draw back in fear, standing his ground firmly as he continued to attack. What he didn’t expect was for Luocheng to kick over and plant a ward 600 yards behind him.
Was he intending to roundhouse-kick him?
There was no reason to, there was nobody to follow up in that position. What was the point in kicking him over that side? Wasn’t it better to kick him toward the wall where he could close the distance easily, and Asmodai wouldn’t fly too far away.
Something wasn’t right!
He was not the target at all!
Asmodai suddenly realized this, and he turned around to see Hades’ Ziggs was behind him about 800 yards away. He was near the inner turret of the middle lane attacking, not allowing Mundo to come any closer.
And if Luocheng’s Lee Sin kicked toward Hades’ direction...
“Hade-...” Asmodai wanted to call out to Hades, but Luocheng’s actions were faster. Asmodai didn’t manage to warn Hades in time and could only watch as Lee Sin flew gracefully toward the ward, looking as though he had merely touched the tip of the ward, and then his entire body just disappeared from his position once again!
Flash!
First, he used his W-skill to move to the ward he had planted, moving a distance behind Asmodai, and then subsequently using his Flash to appear directly beside Hades!
Asmodai’s Ezreal had become the perfect springboard for Luocheng!
What a supreme martial art move!
Under this maneuver, it was as if Lee Sin’s toes didn’t touch the ground at all. Just a second ago, it seemed like he was 4 Flashes away from Hades, and then suddenly, he was right beside him!
He floated upward, his muscular right leg sweeping out like a coiled dragon, slamming heavily on Hades’ Ziggs!
The power behind this kick was amazing and the angle was perfect. You could only see Ziggs cough up blood as he flew outward, going through the wall behind the Wraith camp, landing right in front of Wu Sen’s Gragas!
“Nice!” Wu Sen yelled, his eyes bright.
Wu Sen, who had been struggling against the damage dealt by Ziggs, immediately rolled with the situation, turning his meaty body into a human bomb and launching himself directly at Hades!
Boom!
It felt as though Ziggs was slammed heavily and trapped in between the wall and Gragas’ belly by Wu Sen’s E-skill, the damage dealt was outstanding!
Coupled with a Barrel Roll, Ziggs’ health was down to almost nothing!
All that was needed was one more auto-attack and an Ignite, but before Hades died, he threw out a Hexplosive Minefield!
Wu Sen’s development was not too far off from Hades, and with Luocheng’s godly and amazingly cool kick, Wu Sen was finally able to kill Hades once, just as he wished!
“Oh, my Lord in heaven!”
The professional players sitting in the front row all stood up almost simultaneously along with the rest of the audience to applaud!
It was necessary to grasp the correct timing for Lee Sin’s Ultimate.
It was one thing to grasp the timing, it was an entirely different matter to be able to keep in control and be fast enough to pull off the maneuver!
Luocheng had used Asmodai as his springboard, moving in three consecutive steps. You could almost see the gorgeous afterimage of his position from the tribush, flying all the way to Hades’ side!
The lightness and gracefulness, adding on the roundhouse-kick from his ulti like a coiled dragon... combined together, it formed a breathtakingly amazing scene!
Seeing this Lee Sin pull off such an amazing martial art move, it was just simply astounding!
At this moment, who else would dare to doubt that the captain of Team Skycrown who was said to be an all-rounder really was as they said!? How many other Junglers in the LPL could display such exquisite judgement and amazing maneuvers!
That’s right, even Hades who was a boss-level player in the country was lost in thought, his mind just constantly replaying that unexpected kick!

“What else can I say, I don’t even know how to comment on that! I can only say, that is just as expected of the world’s top e-sports pro-player. Making such a difficult maneuver seem so easy to do, it seems like it’s not only as the ADC that he’s able to showcase his talents, Fighting Hawk’s Jungler Lee Sin is also not below Blood Eagle’s! It’s hard to think that other than these two, there are other people who can perform such a wonderful kick by Lee Sin in a chaotic teamfight!” Bao Jun exclaimed, unable to restrain himself.
Everytime he was a commentator for Fighting Hawk’s competition, it would always ignite more passion in everyone’s blood, because in the competitions he played, you would see completely different understandings of LOL from other professional players!
His champions were unique and his Support champions were never picked twice. He even broke away from the traditional 2-1-1 formation when going against the strongest team in the country, going as far as to employ a double Jungler strategy!
If you didn’t try it, how would you know that some of the tactics won’t work?
Watching so many games which usually went on for twenty minutes only to see that they were getting more stable with one or two kills, watching for thirty minutes and they were still farming and having boring exchanges, it was as though Team Skycrown was injecting fresh blood into the LPL, letting all the audience of the LPL, fans and players alike, have their hearts thumping in their chests and their blood boiling in excitement, inadvertently lighting the passion in their bodies!
“Nice, that was just too f*cking nice. This guy was born to play e-sports, he should have f*cking played in the LPL earlier. When we were playing in the college league, I suspected that he could doze off while playing. This is his f*cking true level!!” Yang Ying used three ‘f*cks’ to describe how he felt.
Qianqian who was beside him was not looking at the screen, but rather at Luocheng who was seated at the stage.
She clearly remembered while they were in high school, this boy, who always looked so lazy, you could only see him concentrating when he was playing LOL!
In just the blink of an eye, he had become a professional player who was playing on the LPL stage. Qianqian realized that it was not just an occasional concentration when playing, but rather, he had a strong passion and talent toward e-sports. This was the real him in this competition, serious, calm, focused, but at the same time, bold, arrogant, and overbearing!
At this moment, Qianqian had an inkling. She felt that for Luocheng to choose this path and turn his back on his family was the correct decision. His family would definitely see his glorious self because he had already managed to obtain the cheers and applause of the entire country’s LOL fanbase when he had only just returned to the scene!
In this arena, there was not one person who wasn’t talking about him, not one person who was not surprised by his godly kick!
Without his family holding him back, Luocheng was in character with his ID, the brave Fighting Hawk, spreading his wings and soaring through the sky of e-sports!
***
The battle seemed to have ended thanks to Luocheng’s kick, and on the screen, there was a yellow figure continuously attacking.
Without realizing it, the entire battlefield was now filled with the corpses of their teammates, the only one left was a yellow body with very little health remaining...
His figure was not very tall, his skills were elegant, and his face held an unwilling expression!
He was still attacking like a crazed man, but the ones pushing were not only the huge wave of minions that came, but also the three opponents—Gragas, Lee Sin, and Mundo...
As the minions entered the turret range, so did the champions, and his skill-shots were limited. His damage was high, but no matter how high it went, he wouldn’t be able to stand up to three champions.
“Asmodai still isn’t retreating? If he stays under the turret, he may lose his own life.” Li Hu said.
The turret was subsequently taken down and Team Skycrown continued to push into the base. Asmodai’s Ezreal was still attacking and kiting, his skill-shots aimed at Luocheng and Gragas, but Mundo would always stand in front and absorb the damage together with the large minion wave.
Victory for Team Skycrown had already been determined, the time required to respawn was just too long. Even after taking the Inhibitor, there would still be time to take the Nexus down immediately.
Watching as their turrets and structures were taken down one-by-one, looking at his own fluctuating health bar...
Asmodai was staring at the screen so intently, almost as though he was desperately trying to recover something.
