C147

King Lanling watched Lin Dong in utter disbelief before collapsing to the ground.

He had never expected to be taken down by Liu Chan with such ease!

Red Daddy, who had been nearby, suddenly found itself without a target. It quickly fixed its gaze on Liu Chan and took a swipe at him.

Confronted with Red Daddy, who was hanging on by a sliver of health, Liu Chan let out a mighty yell and delivered a slap that instantly vanquished his foe!

Lin Dong reaped the last bit of life from Red Daddy and claimed the coveted Red Daddy aura!

Liu Chan advanced to level two.

He selected the 'Mechanical Demon Claw' ability.

"Dragon City's Little Overlord, with boundless power!"

Liu Chan exclaimed, stepping over King Lanling's body and dashing back to the lower lane tower.

The Descendant and Ox Demon King, tasked with guarding the lane, were too late to the scene.

They had witnessed the skirmish between Liu Chan and King Lanling but had dismissed it, doubting Liu Chan could inflict any real damage on King Lanling.

Seizing the chance, they had attacked the lower lane tower, then doubled back to assist King Lanling in taking down Liu Chan.

But to their astonishment, King Lanling had fallen so quickly.

Their minions hadn't even been cleared when King Lanling was defeated by Liu Chan!

The entire sequence of events was startlingly swift.

Upon seeing King Lanling's corpse on the ground, they exchanged bewildered glances.

Neither had anticipated that Liu Chan could actually take down King Lanling!

It was an incredible feat!

They had never heard of a support player being able to go toe-to-toe with a jungler and come out on top!

"Unbelievable! Lin, you actually took down King Lanling!"

"Am I seeing things?"

"That was incredible, such godlike skills!"

"Have you been secretly mastering this game? You're amazing!"

Tian Chao watched Lin Dong with fervor, shouting his excitement.

If his leg hadn't been suspended in a hospital bed, he might have leaped over to plant a couple of kisses on Lin Dong in celebration!

Lin Dong modestly gestured with his hand: "Basic moves, nothing special."

"Wow!"

Tian Chao flipped Lin Dong the bird, a playful acknowledgment of his modesty.

Yet, his face still radiated excitement!

He said to Lin Dong, "Bro, if you can lead the little one to the King's rank, I'll treat you to a feast every day this month!"

Lin Dong chuckled, "What's the matter? You don't think I'm playing poorly anymore?"

"Just kidding! I've always had faith in you. Keep it up!"

Tian Chao shamelessly retracted his earlier criticism.

Lin Dong spared him further mockery.

King Lanling blasted a message: "(All) Hear this, Liu Chan, your end is nigh! I will take you down!"

He was seething with rage.

Liu Chan, a hero known for his defense, had not only killed him at the start of the game but also stolen his 'red daddy'!

It was a slap in the face and a direct challenge to his skills.

King Lanling was known for his stealthy kills, yet Liu Chan had audaciously ambushed him. It was infuriating!

An irate Tian Chao exclaimed, "Still so cocky after dying? Lin, target him!"

Lin Dong, with a smile, typed a brief message: "(All) Bring it on."

Those three words dripped with disdain.

King Lanling, unable to contain his fury, spammed a series of exclamation marks to vent his anger!

Lin Dong's teammates, meanwhile, were overjoyed.

Ahn'Qiraj exclaimed, "Wow! Big Brother Dali, you're incredible!"

Ah Ke cheered, "Amazing! Great job!"

Ma Chao marveled, "You took down King Lanling? Liu Chan, are you a star player?"

Zhao Yun confessed, "I'm jealous. When did Liu Chan get so good?"

Lin Dong responded to them collectively, "What can I say? King Lanling on the other side is just too weak!"

Lin Dong left the chat open, and King Lanling saw the message.

He let out a frustrated howl.

His teammates were equally incensed.

Houyi warned, "Liu Chan, don't get cocky! Wait until I get my hands on you!"

Ox Demon King challenged, "Dare to face me one-on-one?"

Zhen Ji rallied the team, "Let's gang up on him!"

Xiahou Dun declared, "I'm heading bot lane to back you up. We'll crush Liu Chan!"

Just then, King Lanling respawned.

Activating his stealth, he charged towards Liu Chan on the bot lane.

This time, King Lanling was determined to take down Lin Dong.

Lin Dong stood resolute under the tower.

A squad of soldiers charged into the fray.

Houyi and the Ox Demon King utilized the distraction provided by the soldiers to advance. Seizing the moment, Houyi loosed several arrows, taking out the leading soldier.

This shifted the balance of power almost instantly.

Houyi and the Ox Demon King then slipped into the underbrush, stealthily drawing closer and rendering themselves invisible to Liu Chan.

As the soldiers approached, Liu Chan's forces charged to meet them.

But their ranks had been weakened earlier by Houyi's precise shots, leaving them unable to match the opposing soldiers' strength.

From the outset, they were overwhelmed.

Lin Dong, controlling Liu Chan, surveyed the area from the safety of the tower, then leapt into action, activating the mechanical devil's claw!

Crack! Crack!

The enemies besieging his soldiers were stunned and incapacitated.

He swung his iron claws furiously, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the nearby soldiers.

In the midst of his rapid assault, Houyi and the Ox Demon King burst from their hiding place in the grass.

The Ox Demon King charged, sending Liu Chan flying into the air.

As Liu Chan struggled to regain his balance, Houyi unleashed a volley of arrows, striking him repeatedly.

Though Liu Chan was a support character with formidable defenses, his lower level meant he couldn't withstand Houyi's relentless assault. His health bar plummeted visibly.

Desperate to escape, Liu Chan found his Devil Claw on cooldown, and with the Ox Demon King manipulating the field, turning back was nearly impossible.

Together, the two adversaries had reduced Liu Chan's health by two-thirds.

The final third was rapidly depleting.

Ahn'Qiraj messaged: "Hang in there, Big Brother Dali, I'm coming to rescue you!"

But as she moved to assist, Zhen Ji lobbed a water orb her way.

Ahn'Qiraj was caught just as she was about to depart!

Ma Chao and Zhao Yun were engaged elsewhere, unable to assist Liu Chan in the bottom lane.

Ah Ke had ventured to the top lane tower, keeping an eye on Xiahou Dun, and was too far to offer aid.

At that critical moment, a shadow darted forward.

It was King Lanling!

Fueled by rage, he gripped his poisoned dagger and launched an attack on Liu Chan.

The convergence of three forces left Liu Chan with no avenue for escape!

"Lin, quick, reel him back in!"

From his sickbed, Tian Chao turned and called out.

He witnessed Liu Chan encircled, facing a dire fate.

Yet Lin Dong remained composed.

His fingers hovered over his phone, but his gaze was fixed on King Lanling charging toward him.

In the next instant, King Lanling was upon him.

With a swift Shadow Spike, he struck at Liu Chan.

Liu Chan, already down to a third of his health, saw his health bar nearly depleted in a flash.

At that moment, if King Lanling landed one more basic attack, Liu Chan would be finished.

But in the nick of time, Lin Dong unleashed his skill, the Junior Overlord Shield!

King Lanling, poised for the final blow to exact revenge on Lin Dong for a previous defeat, was taken aback as the shield materialized, instantly thwarting his assault.

Houyi's arrows also missed their mark.

Meanwhile, Liu Chan seized the momentary burst of speed to dash toward the safety of the tower.

King Lanling's eyes bulged with determination; he was intent on eliminating Liu Chan and would not allow his quarry to escape.

He pursued relentlessly.

Liu Chan, vulnerable to a single basic attack, refused to surrender. Even if it meant braving a few tower hits, he wouldn't go down without a fight!

As the shield faded, Liu Chan reached the sanctuary of the tower. King Lanling, like a shadow, was right behind, dagger poised for the kill.

But Liu Chan let out a cold laugh.

His second skill, Mechanized Claws, had cooled down. Without hesitation, he activated it.

Crash!

The twin mechanical claws clamped together, immobilizing King Lanling.

The tower quickly halved King Lanling's health, sending shivers down his spine.

The stun was brief, lasting only two seconds, and King Lanling prepared to flee. But just then, Liu Chan's Lightning Ability cooled down.

Zap!

A streak of lightning struck, paralyzing King Lanling once more.

The tower landed a few more hits, and with a look of regret, King Lanling's health was drained completely.
