Chapter Thirty-Seven: One Strike to Decide the Fate of the World!
Di Renjie’s enhanced cards can be dodged—most people know this. But being able to process all that information and avoid Di Renjie’s enhanced cards in the midst of a large-scale team fight? That’s something few can truly accomplish.
Even so, Guan Yu’s health was still plummeting. Di Renjie’s basic attacks, Shen Mengxi’s small bombs, and Bai Qi’s first skill—all these sources of damage stacked together, and in an instant, Guan Yu’s health was almost wiped out!
Li Bai seized the perfect moment, skill one, two dashes forward! At that moment, Guan Yu had just performed another sweeping push, clearly determined to fight them head-on rather than flee.
If they could interrupt Guan Yu’s running state now, he would be struck down immediately.
Nine-Tailed Fox watched intently; as a professional assassin, he always found the most opportune moment to strike!
He moved, two segments of his first skill rapidly closing in on Guan Yu!
But Lin Hao was faster!
Amidst several rounds of maneuvering and basic attacks, Lin Hao was simultaneously tracking everyone’s positioning, finally finding a deadly angle!
He pressed the first skill—Guan Yu pulled back, turned suddenly, and unleashed a fierce strike!
Single Blade Roar!
That slash hit both Di Renjie and Shen Mengxi squarely!
Moreover, Li Bai, charging forward with his skill, happened to find himself right in the path of Guan Yu’s attack.
Lin Hao thought, Li Bai really came looking for trouble!
But it was a stroke of unexpected luck.
Three fragile backliners struck at once—their health instantly obliterated!
Shen Mengxi, carrying Smite and having built a tanky knife, had a sliver of health left.
Di Renjie hadn’t even managed to trigger his second skill before entering the countdown for his resurrection armor.
Li Bai, too.
Earlier, Li Bai had lost quite a bit of health poking the high ground.
Shen Mengxi and Di Renjie, though positioned further back, had also lost half their health during Guan Yu’s sudden assault.
This single slash instantly reversed the situation!
Liu Chan arrived late, timing his control combo perfectly with Guan Yu’s post-swing, immobilizing him completely; with Shen Mengxi’s skills, they claimed Guan Yu’s head.
“I did my best,” Lin Hao said, putting down his phone, “My teammates were just too slow to follow up.”
To be honest, not only were the enemies caught off guard—so were his teammates, who didn’t react in time.
Niu Mo finally charged in with his second skill to support the damage output.
The battlefield was eerily quiet. Li Bai and Di Renjie’s resurrection armor had been triggered.
On the surface, Lin Hao was already dead, and the enemy still had the advantage of resurrection armor—it looked grim.
But those two seconds of resurrection time gave Lin Hao’s teammates ample opportunity to prepare!
Yu Ji instantly flashed forward, taking out Shen Mengxi, who didn’t have resurrection armor.
Yun Ying, having waited patiently, finally dashed in with her second skill, using nearly a second to react and finding the perfect angle to predict her ultimate—she controlled both freshly revived Li Bai and Di Renjie.
This outstanding initiation made Yu Ji’s output environment dramatically better.
Yun Ying followed up with another skill to keep Li Bai and Di Renjie locked down seamlessly.
Yu Ji, from behind, frantically tapped the basic attack key, finishing them off!
The tide had turned!
With Di Renjie’s red buff, Yu Ji went on a rampage, sticking to the two enemy tanks—Bai Qi and Liu Chan!
In the end, they achieved a team wipe!
“We can push bot lane for the win!”
Lin Hao observed the whole field, immediately directing his teammates.
It had been nearly twenty minutes; the enemy’s respawn times were long, and the bot lane minion wave had already penetrated deep into enemy territory!
What had once seemed trivial—even something to clean up later—suddenly became the key to victory!
At this rank, Niu Mo acted quickly, selling items in rapid succession to build a big wolf.
The three rushed to bot lane, destroyed the high ground tower, and charged straight for the crystal!
Finally, Niu Mo unleashed his ultimate, blocking the revived Bomb Cat, then charged into the fountain with his second skill, executing a perfect chain of control!
Yu Ji and Yun Ying desperately attacked the tower!
VICTORY!
“Rage points from Nine-Tailed Fox +400.”
“Rage points from Shen Mengxi +200.”
They had won!
Lin Hao felt utterly exhausted.
This match was grueling—his final ambush was the absolute limit of what his Guan Yu skills could do on the national server!
Of course, the highlight was that breathtaking slash.
Striking three fragile backliners with one blade, dealing full damage, and instantly breaking the balance of the team fight!
Otherwise, with his teammates’ slow follow-up, Lin Hao’s death would surely have meant a defeat in this team fight.
“What’s unfortunate is that, in the end, Niu Mo’s wolf rush and fountain control were the true keys to finishing the game, and naturally, the main reason for enraging the opponents.”
Lin Hao glanced enviously at Niu Mo’s profile, silently sighing.
“Rage point collection tracks anger directed at me during the game. I put on a great show, but Niu Mo’s moves were more direct, so the rage points awarded to me were relatively few compared to usual.”
It was a small regret—if his teammates had been faster, Lin Hao might not have died and could have performed a ballet in front of the enemy fountain, taunting them to draw more rage points.
The viewers in Lin Hao’s live stream were unaware of his plans; they were simply excited, spamming 666 in the chat.
“That slash was insane!”
“Never seen Guan Yu so stealthy. If he had just gone for a straight flank, he’d have given vision, and might have been dismounted before even getting close.”
“The enemy probably thought Guan Yu was in the blue jungle, never expecting him to be lurking by the top lane’s second turret bush. By the way, didn’t the minion wave give vision?”
“Lin Hao timed his bush entry perfectly—it was right as the second wave of minions crossed the river.”
“This was an epic flank. As someone with a 2200 score, I’m thoroughly impressed—he timed the minion waves so well that mid and bot lane vision missed him completely, never exposed!”
“I have to tip the streamer for this Guan Yu!”
Lin Hao hurriedly entered the post-game bragging session, thanking gifts: “...Crossing the river, normally the mid lane minion wave would spot me, but I sprinted while tapping the basic attack key, making it slightly faster than just running...Thank you, Liang Yao, for the super rocket! Much appreciated!”
“And then I went around from the blue jungle; I was actually a bit lucky. If the enemy had retreated even a little, they might have spotted me and surrounded me. Luckily, they chose to poke the tower and wait for the next minion wave, not backing up at all...”
In stark contrast, Nine-Tailed Fox’s stream was filled with disbelief.
He never expected to lose like this.
Clearly, the enemy’s Jin Chan had already been instantly killed.
Clearly, his team had the economic advantage, and their main carries had enough gold for defensive items.
By all logic, they should have won that fight!
