The Road to Godhood in Honor of Kings

"Then let's play him..." Han Cheng muttered, and then instantly selected his pick with a "bang".

"Maintain order!" A voice from the void rang out. It was Han Cheng who had chosen Zhong Kui as his hero. The void black hole above Zhong Kui's body trembled incessantly, and then he took out an iron hook and held it in his hand.

"Zhong Kui mid lane? Are they out of their minds?" one of the two muttered under his breath. Han Cheng heard it and thought to himself that these two had been looking down on him from the start. It seemed he would have to sell them out twice in a row...

The final lineups for both sides were: Han Cheng's team had Damo with Execute in the top lane, Zhong Kui with Flash in the mid lane, Li Bai with Smite in the jungle, Sun Shangxiang with Purify in the bottom lane, and Xiahou Dun with Execute for roaming.

The opposing team is called "Miracle Nikki". Their lineup consists of Mulan in the top lane with Smite, Zhuge Liang in the mid lane with Purify, Luna in the jungle with Smite, Marco Polo in the bottom lane with Flash, and Zhong Wuyan in the roaming lane with Flash.

Han Cheng didn't plan to deal with the bottom lane duo. Seeing how arrogant they were, they probably weren't too bad. If they played it safe, they should be able to hold out. What Han Cheng needed to do now was to work with Yi Bing.

Han Cheng squatted down in the red buff area on the opposite side, deciding to get a red buff for his Li Bai to play with first.

Marco Polo on the other side was happily fighting Zhong Wuyan's Red Buff. Just as the Red Buff's health was slowly dropping, and his hard work was about to pay off, he suddenly discovered a long iron hook that appeared out of nowhere and uprooted the nearly dead Red Buff at an extremely tricky angle...

Zhong Kui hooked the red buff and slammed it into the ground, instantly reducing the red buff to a sliver of health. Li Bai then finished it off with a basic attack. At this point, Luna was likely farming the blue buff alone, and since Luna's jungle clearing speed was low in the early game, Li Bai saved his Smite and went to the enemy's blue buff area with Zhong Kui.

Luna had brought Blue Buff's health to a very low level, and was about to finish it off with a Smite when suddenly Li Bai shouted. A man with fox ears rushed in, dashing in and stunning Luna. In a panic, fearing that Li Bai would steal her Blue Buff, Luna immediately used Smite, reducing the Blue Buff to Bloodthirst. Li Bai didn't hold back either, using Smite to take down Blue Buff. Then, with the help of Zhong Kui, he finished off the half-health Luna, securing First Blood.

At this moment, the bottom lane duo saw Han Cheng and Yi Bing take two kills from the enemy team right at the start of the game and even kill one of them. They were surprised by their teamwork and skill and were worried that they might actually win this game. Although they were also there to participate in the challenge, they hoped to lose this game, since they hadn't paid any deposit and they just wanted to see Han Cheng make a fool of himself.

However, it is estimated that they will not be able to see it.

Zhuge Liang thought he was very powerful and could easily defeat Zhong Kui, but he found that his first skill couldn't hit Zhong Kui at all. Zhong Kui looked clumsy, but he was actually very agile, dodging a lot of Zhuge Liang's damage. Moreover, he would occasionally get close and use his first skill to slam the ground, which was quite painful. Zhuge Liang had a headache. Zhong Kui was tough and had high health, and his damage was also very high. Just like Mozi, this kind of hero was really difficult to deal with.

Yi Bing's Li Bai had his ultimate ready in the jungle when he made eye contact with Han Cheng. Han Cheng knew this meant he was going to eliminate Zhuge Liang, so he pretended not to see anything and continued with his previous actions. Then, when Li Bai entered the bushes near the mid-lane river, he suddenly used his second skill, which he had hardly ever used before. The Annihilation Lock hooked Zhuge Liang in an extremely tricky position. Fortunately, Han Cheng had predicted it and calculated Zhuge Liang's movement. The angle of the second skill was slightly off, and with his good luck, Zhuge Liang was directly controlled. Moreover, as soon as Han Cheng used the second skill, his ultimate was already activated. While Zhuge Liang was being pulled over, Zhong Kui's ultimate began to charge up, and he was able to hit Zhuge Liang with the ultimate at the first moment.

Thanks to Zhuge Liang's foresight in bringing the purification ability in advance, he lived up to his title of "Sleeping Dragon." However, Zhong Kui didn't seem to take Zhuge Liang seriously, even though he was in a hurry to activate the purification ability.

Zhuge Liang activated Purify and used his second skill to dash away. However, Zhong Kui immediately used Flash. Although Purify can grant immunity to control effects for 1.5 seconds, it's important to know that 1.5 seconds isn't that long. Zhong Kui deliberately waited a moment before Flashing away. At this moment, Li Bai dashed over and stunned Zhuge Liang. Zhong Kui's ultimate skill after Flashing will reset the ultimate skill's duration. This means that even if he missed his ultimate skill before, as long as the ultimate skill hasn't ended, he can Flash away and start absorbing again.

Li Bai activated his ultimate skill, and several foxes silently passed through Zhuge Liang's body, causing him great pain. Combined with Zhong Kui's damage, Zhuge Liang was instantly killed.

At this moment, the Tyrant had already spawned. While Li Bai and Zhong Kui were killing Zhuge Liang in the mid lane, the enemy Luna, Marco Polo, and Zhong Wuyan had already brought the Tyrant to low health. Li Bai was killed before he could even reach the Tyrant.

However, this was also due to Sun Shangxiang and Xiahou Dun ignoring Han Cheng's commands. Han Cheng had already seen someone attacking the dragon, but the two of them refused to believe it and insisted on destroying the enemy's defensive tower. As a result, the three enemy players who were attacking the dragon returned and killed Sun Shangxiang. Xiahou Dun used his ultimate skill and only managed to avoid returning to base with the help of Li Bai.

Han Cheng sighed. He and Yi Bing were killing people here, while those two were just throwing the kills away. It was infuriating. They probably wanted to lose this round.

Seeing that the two were so uncooperative, Han Cheng decided to ignore them and, together with Gu Haifeng and Yi Bing, take on all five of them directly.

"Xiaofeng, you're completely dominating the Mulan in the top lane. Let's take her down first, then head to the bottom lane to fight the enemy team," Han Cheng said.

"Okay!" Gu Haifeng nodded, holding his ultimate move in his hand, waiting for a moment to kill Hua Mulan more efficiently.

However, a moment later, Gu Haifeng realized he was overthinking things.

Han Cheng's Zhong Kui is a hybrid tank/mage build, with magic items designed to reduce cooldowns. Han Cheng's runes also provide a 10% cooldown reduction, resulting in very short cooldowns for his ultimate and second skill, allowing him to roam freely and gank.

Regarding runes, Han Cheng felt that for physical runes, the key was critical strike chance and cooldown reduction, while for magical runes, it was spell vamp and cooldown reduction. The other attributes were not very useful. Therefore, Han Cheng used these two sets of runes, which were basically applicable to all heroes.

Zhong Kui hooked Hua Mulan, and Damo used his first skill to dash in and briefly knock her up. Before Hua Mulan could use her dash to escape, Li Bai used his first skill to stun her. At the same time, Zhong Kui's ultimate skill was fully charged. The group worked together to easily kill Hua Mulan. Even if she is a legendary blade, she will become a legend...
