　　Li Yiming arrived at his second tower in the middle lane, choosing to a.s.sess the situation from afar first rather than jumping into the fray right away with his new equipment. He could not afford to make another mistake, especially having died twice already.

　　He observed as Chen Quan relentlessly attacked the enemy minions at every given opportunity. As soon as the monkey would try to attack a friendly minion, Chen Quan would reposition himself while shooting one of his venomous darts and retreat to his tower right away. He would repeat this process over and over, causing great annoyance to the monkey.

　　'He's playing around… Not bad, I suppose all these years spent dealing with dead people did help.'

　　Noticing Li Yiming's arrival, Chen Quan signaled discreetly toward a bush on the left side. Li Yiming immediately understood the message and showed a broad smile.

　　'Come on, I can barely wait any longer…' Li Yiming crouched down and dove into the bush, hoping to use its cover until he could arrive behind his target.

　　Li Yiming crossed his two weapons in front of him and moved furtively, without making any noise. As the clas.h.i.+ng of metal became more and more audible, he knew that he

　　Dong!

　　Li Yiming was suddenly hit in the forehead with a golden staff, disorienting him.

　　As Li Yiming struggled to recover from the blow, another staff came down striking him.

　　'Really? There are two of them in the bush?' Li Yiming's confidence was obliterated by the successive blows he had just suffered. He reached for the magical hourgla.s.s he had bought from the shop, and he transformed into a golden statue, granting him invulnerability for a few seconds.

　　'I messed up…' Li Yiming thought as he looked at the two monkeys through the golden barrier which surrounded him, his thoughts racing for a solution to get himself out of this predicament.

　　A ray of light suddenly came from the side, illuminating the area around which the monkeys stood. The two monkeys' movement visibly slowed down as they became enveloped by a layer of shadow.

　　"Light Binding!" A crescent of light flew by and enveloped the two monkeys, preventing them from moving despite their struggles.

　　"Final Spark!" A thin line of red light appeared, turning into a giant white cylinder a moment later and causing the rings of light which bound the monkeys to explode violently.

　　As the light finally subsided, the two monkeys had suffered heavy damage and quickly started their retreat toward their tower. Li Yiming came out of his golden state just in time to attack his two enemies, encouraged by the knowledge that Shao Xian was there to support him.

　　Poof! Poof!

　　Yet again, he had only managed to hit the clones.

　　"You're not getting away!" Chen Quan appeared out of nowhere and put down another blue lantern. He shot a silver dart out of his bamboo stick and struck one of the monkeys down. It writhed painfully as the poison quickly spread to its entire body.

　　Li Yiming let out a long cry and leaped at the other monkey, who had been revealed by the lantern, decapitating its head cleanly.

　　"Chen Quan has slain an enemy. a.s.sist awarded to Li Yiming and Shao Xian."
