Chapter 3: The joy of having blood in hand

Let's see how you choose, do not let me down

Call the jungler, Dad

6 minutes have passed, and there has been no head explosion. The Sword Demon has dealt 6 strikes to Li Xu's Urgot. Upon seeing the Steel Shadow farming at F6, Li Xu immediately chose to engage the Sword Demon in a skirmish. Both sides' health bars became very low. At this moment, Urgot decisively retreated under the tower, waiting for the Sword Demon's decision

As soon as the count reached 1, 2, 3...... the Sword Demon landed, and Ekko decisively used his E skill

The tower's teleportation is activated, and Li Xu knows the opportunity has arrived

Qing Steel Shadow silently moved from behind the tower into the brush on the side lane, stealthily making his way towards the brush below

KHAN's mindset has deteriorated, and he did not return to equip himself, which shows a heavy intent to kill with Ekko. It is evident that there are others behind this situation!

This technically proficient player, who was originally brought in as a substitute, has developed new ideas after witnessing this series of operations. He is a player who plays the game with intellect! Perhaps he could be given some opportunities

The Sword Demon immediately entered the brush in the side lane

As the fear of transcending death descended, Ekko swaggered out of the attack range of the turret, swaying his hips alongside Riven.

Ekko and Aatrox are currently the dominant top laners in this version. If personal factors are not taken into account, the matchup should be evenly balanced. In such matchups, Li Xu often plays in his games.

Li Xu decisively took out a small hammer and a pair of shoes upon returning home, determined to continue expanding his online advantages

"Put it on the top lane, clear the top lane." Li Xu immediately called for Qingsiying. Due to the advantage of leveled equipment, the Sword Demon could no longer compete with him in pushing the lane. Qingsiying released the Rift Herald in the top lane and immediately turned to dive into the jungle.

However, the bottom lane gave away a double kill again. This time, it was a wave of roaming by Li Ge, who, in conjunction with the bottom lane and the jungler, executed a tower dive to secure a strong kill on Ashe and Alistar. As a result, LeBlanc arrived just in time to gift Li Ge another kill, bringing his score to 3 - 0, preparing for takeoff

1, 2, 3, ... Li Xu silently recited in his heart, he was betting, he was betting that the Sword Demon would guess that he would choose to return after his journey.

However, before Ekko could fall, Ashe was killed again, and the four opponents showed no interest in a Headbutt from Alistar, retreating together.

At this point, there is no choice left; the TP cannot be canceled. As soon as Li Xu lands, he immediately uses his E ability to flash back to the Ice Maiden at maximum distance, applying his ultimate skill and instantly reaching the execution threshold. Since Tahm Kench's devour and the Ice Maiden's ultimate were both used while diving the tower, he is utterly defenseless against Urgot's burst damage.

What is going on? The top lane has engaged with the Sword Demon, and if the Blind Monk is in the bottom lane, he will definitely take action there. Shouldn't the bottom lane retreat under the tower to survive for a while?

Li Xu's Ekko directly chose to teleport to the bush in the bottom lane for vision

At this moment, Qingshiying had just finished defeating the Stone Golem, and Li Xu was frantically signaling.

Jin Zhengxun's eyes lit up; Li Xu's recent play of deceiving the Sword Demon with his teleportation was truly ingenious

Upon entering the game, both sides placed wards in the upper and lower river lanes to scout the movements of the opposing jungler, without engaging in excessive confrontation

However, due to being hit by Ekko's E, he was in a state of immobilization and was unable to timely use his Flash

As soon as the Sword Demon landed, he was caught by Li Xu, who reversed time.

The minion entered the tower, and due to a misjudgment of Ekko's return path, Hanzi Ge had no choice but to use his teleport to catch up with the wave.

Double Kill

"Damn it!" KHAN cursed angrily, realizing that at this moment, the Sword Demon had just not yet reached level 6 and did not have his ultimate ability. Knowing that there was no room for maneuvering left, he removed his hands from the keyboard, filled with frustration

Indeed, at that moment, a flying kick emerged from the grass above, striking the Sword Demon unconscious, while Ekko unleashed his ultimate ability, and all damage skills poured down.

"We can go, we can go, they have no skills left, let's kill the Ice Woman first." Haru shouted frantically in the voice chat

In 10 minutes, Li Xu quickly approached the river to protect Qing Gangying and secure the Rift Herald. The recent deaths of the bottom lane duo had already resulted in the loss of the first Wind Dragon, and the red side was determined to secure the Rift Herald.

The Steel Shadow rushed in from the river, triggering the fear that transcends death. Except for EZ who managed to jump away, both Tahm Kench and Lee Sin were struck by fear. Due to his low health from earlier tower diving, Tahm Kench was directly kicked to death by the approaching Steel Shadow.

Due to the mechanics of skills, Ekko clears waves quickly. Li Xu planned to push the minion wave forward, but the moment he finished clearing the wave and the minions advanced, he chose to retreat and directly took cover under the tower. This was because the Blind Monk had chased the river crab to the position near the river bush. The river crab was already dead, but the Blind Monk still had not been exposed to the vision of the Baron pit. Li Xu concluded that the Blind Monk was lying in wait near the bush.

Chivalrous! Li Xule was delighted, as he charged into the enemy and destroyed two layers of tower defenses, earning himself 320 gold coins. He was in high spirits

Upon returning to the lane, due to his death and lack of teleportation, the champion Ekko quickly cleared the minion wave and has out-farmed the champion Aatrox by 20 minions.

Due to the strong online response capability of the Sword Demon, Ekko is also not afraid of being worn down, and both sides have cooperatively farmed until the 6-minute mark, with neither side's health bar dropping significantly.

At this moment, it is necessary to sacrifice a few minions and wait for the Sword Demon to push the minion wave over. If one recklessly rushes in to farm minions, it could result in having to use Flash, or even giving up First Blood.

On the way back from the tower, Li Xu received the bad news from the bottom lane that Clid's Lee Sin, in conjunction with the bottom lane duo, had killed Alistar and Ashe

First Blood

At the thirteenth minute, the Blind Monk and the Ice Maiden once again chose to engage the bottom lane duo, preparing to force a tower dive

Just as the Rift Herald was about to be defeated, Ezreal's ultimate ability swept in, and Qiyana, quick on her feet, secured the Rift Herald with a swift Smite.

Li Xu smiled slightly, "To build a platform in the open while secretly crossing the Chen Cang, this could be considered an alternative application of Sun Tzu's Art of War, right"

7, 8. Li Xu immediately exited the tower, quickly cleared the minion wave, and simultaneously reached level 6

Fortunately, he was not confused and realized that using Flash was futile, thus he did not waste it any further
