Chapter 110: The Assassin Goddess Nuwa
A tiny gap in the coordination between Sun Bin and Lü Bu was unexpectedly seized by Xiao Jue! In an instant, his mind instinctively triggered a flash, followed by the ultimate skill!
Sun Bin’s ultimate missed!
At the next moment, Lü Bu leapt out of the circle, spinning a dizzying ring of the Heavenly Demon, only to be slowed down by Shou Yue’s ultimate.
The tip of Lü Bu’s halberd brushed past Shou Yue’s cloak but failed to strike him!
Xiao Jue’s maneuver was nothing short of perfect.
If it had been a flash instead, it would have been faster, but that would have played into Shou Yue’s unique technique—using flash to alter the ultimate’s release direction. In this situation, it would have caused Shou Yue’s ultimate’s bullets to shoot backward!
In that case, Lü Bu wouldn’t have been slowed by Shou Yue’s ultimate.
Seeing this, Tang Ran abruptly retracted the flash he was about to use.
There was no minion wave at this moment, and Shou Yue had just left base at full health. At this point, Lü Bu wasn’t strong enough to flash and use his first skill to instantly kill Shou Yue. Instead, he risked being counter-killed by Shou Yue sitting under the tower.
So, Tang Ran decided to hold back and prepare to retreat.
Meanwhile, nearby, Zhang Fei unleashed his ultimate.
His roar targeted Nuwa, not Lü Bu where the ultimate had landed.
Zhang Fei’s position was awkward—he and Shou Yue aligned at two points with Sun Bin and Lü Bu sandwiched in between.
If Zhang Fei’s roar hit, it would push Lü Bu right in front of Shou Yue, likely causing Lü Bu’s spinning ultimate to damage Shou Yue.
Although there was a stun, it wasn’t guaranteed Lü Bu wouldn’t become enraged and force a kill on Shou Yue through sheer skill!
As a professional support, 726 was well aware of the painful lessons from the veteran Yino and did not want to repeat those mistakes.
So he chose to roar at Nuwa directly, preventing her from casting skills to harass Shou Yue, effectively creating a diversion.
Elsewhere, Luna launched her ultimate from the blue zone, precisely stealing the blue buff.
She was rushing to assist mid lane.
Xiao Jue breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
“Alright, Tang Ran, you’re trying to trick me, huh? If I don’t fiercely snipe your backside without using my bullets, I’m not called Decisive Emperor!”
Xiao Jue crouched between the first and second towers, readying his sniper shot!
He planned to fire a couple of shots at Tang Ran’s rear, so when Tang Ran returned to top lane without his ultimate and in poor condition, Hualan would have the chance to intercept or even solo kill him!
But just as he settled down, Lin Hao’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Dare to sit down?” Lin Hao shouted. “Die!”
Nuwa’s third skill descended from the sky, landing squarely on the crouching Shou Yue!
When Shou Yue is sniping, standing up involves a huge end-lag unless he has a third skill to cancel the recovery animation of his second skill.
Otherwise, if Nuwa’s third skill lands right on Shou Yue’s head while he’s aiming, Shou Yue is absolutely trapped!
Lin Hao had calculated this perfectly—Shou Yue had just used his third skill and ultimate and had no displacement skills left.
In other words, when Nuwa’s third skill struck Shou Yue, it was his death sentence.
Luna and Zhang Fei hurriedly moved toward Lin Hao and Shou Yue’s location.
Xiao Jue knew escape was impossible and could only struggle while standing his ground.
He hoped Nuwa would be bluffing and not actually land the skill!
But Lin Hao showed no hesitation; the third skill landed, stunning Shou Yue instantly.
Since Shou Yue hadn’t purchased resistance boots, Lin Hao timed the stun precisely.
Holding his last second skill, he cast it just behind, blocking Luna and Zhang Fei’s path to reinforce.
Lin Hao then took a step forward and immediately used his first skill to push Shou Yue, followed up by his ultimate!
Shou Yue was pushed into the skill-block, and combined with Nuwa’s ultimate damage, the grid space was triggered twice in succession!
In an instant, Shou Yue’s health was depleted!
He was instantly killed!
After the kill, Lin Hao fled toward the enemy’s red zone.
“Damn!” Xiao Jue stared at his death screen, stunned for a moment, then roared, “Kill him! Don’t let him escape!”
Luna’s first skill was slightly hindered by the grid and failed to mark Nuwa.
She immediately flew over with her ultimate, approaching Nuwa, ready to use her second skill to latch on to Lin Hao.
But quick as lightning, Lin Hao used flash to dodge Luna’s second skill.
Unfortunately, Hualan appeared in the red zone at that moment.
Instead of camping Lü Bu, she had circled around to come assist.
Ultimately, Lin Hao exhausted all his skills and was slain by Hualan, resulting in a one-for-one exchange.
“This momentum is well-earned, not a loss at all!” Tang Ran comforted Lin Hao.
Actually, the momentum wasn’t the core issue.
More importantly, Lin Hao gained a massive amount of rage from Shou Yue’s death!
“+900 rage from Xiao Jue.”
A world where only Xiao Jue was hurt was formed.
“Daring to fly in like that—Haozi’s Nuwa is really brave!”
“Playing Nuwa as an assassin now!”
“66666!”
“Xiao Jue is so frustrated this game.”
Fans in Lin Hao’s live chat bombarded the screen with messages.
Honestly, Lin Hao’s way of playing Nuwa was rare.
In KPL, Nuwa is usually a team player who pokes to deal damage, uses her second skill to block enemy movement, and rarely dives in with the third skill for direct damage.
“Haoran, you need to get a Holy Grail first; otherwise, you won’t have enough mana.”
At this moment, their support Ziyang noticed Lin Hao’s build.
He had chosen the Echo Hat set, prioritizing raw power.
“No, no, no, doing damage like this is better.”
Lin Hao still had one thing unsaid.
Nuwa’s mana pool is indeed limited; without a Holy Grail, it’s not just a cooldown problem but also easy to run out of mana.
In this jungle assassin meta, junglers usually need the blue buff to control pace; they won’t share blue early on, so a Holy Grail is essential.
But Lin Hao’s assassin-style Nuwa aimed to burst damage and instant kills.
No matter how much cooldown reduction the Holy Grail gave, could he really unleash two full combos in one assassination?
As for mana—well, that was manageable.
Like this time, after killing Shou Yue and dying himself, he would respawn with a full mana bar.
The problem was more with those passive Nuwa players sitting at the back, who often ran out of mana.
When Xiao Jue respawned and walked out of his base toward the high ground, Nuwa’s ultimate pierced through him with a whoosh, taking away more than a third of his health.
Xiao Jue: “...”
