In the alliance, the more they attack me, the stronger I become!

LeBlanc trusted Lissandra too much, and Lissandra didn't expect Cheng Xiao to have this trick up her sleeve.

The blue electric current raged through Leblanc's body, flowing through every inch of her pale skin, and causing her to lose control of her magic for a moment.

There was a slight explosion of magical energy at the tip of her staff.

but……

Almost no power.

The light was bright enough, the sound was loud enough, but the power was almost non-existent.

It's obvious that this is just bluff magic.

LeBlanc was also afraid of accidentally awakening those dormant ancient beings, so she never actually accumulated any powerful magical energy. She always scared Lissandra.

"Did you see that? She was just trying to scare you. She actually doesn't dare to do that!" Cheng Xiao shouted.

Lissandra was about to release the ice magic when she was stunned for a moment.

But just as she hesitated, Leblanc released a spell with an angry expression.

This time it was truly lethal magic.

It split into two, one shot towards Cheng Xiao who was attacking her, and the other hit the ice layer that sealed the Void Watcher.

Lissandra couldn't think about it any further.

She hurriedly summoned ice to block Leblanc's attack, fearing that the Void Watcher would be awakened.

And the ice she summoned... was shattered almost instantly.

Although it wasn't any special ice, she could feel that Leblanc's attack was not weak.

That was no joke... If she had really struck the True Ice just now, the Void Watcher's sweet dream would likely have been disturbed...

"What you said makes sense, Cheng Xiao." Leblanc waved her staff with a cold face, and immediately more than a dozen of her clones appeared behind her.

And each clone possesses decent magical power.

"But I hope you understand that I'm not kidding you... Next time, it won't be just a single attack from one direction."

Seeing this, Lissandra felt even more uneasy.

More than a dozen clones... If they attacked at the same time, even she would not have absolute confidence in being able to block them all in the first place.

If an attack hits the ice layer...

After a long silence, Lissandra finally took her first step.

Walking slowly towards Cheng Xiao.

The gorgeous robe dragged on the ground, outlining her proud figure like a queen.

"Cheng Xiao..."

Lissandra had already raised one hand and was leaning in front of Cheng Xiao.

"I don't know where you learned the truth about the Abyss... I also don't know why you are so confident that this Noxian woman wouldn't dare to do that..."

"But anyway, I don't have the capital to gamble big—this is an all-or-nothing gamble, and I've never been in the habit of doing that."

"I prefer to be conservative."

As he spoke, a wisp of extremely cold magic began to spread to Cheng Xiao.

The extremely dangerous aura spread around, and even Ashe and the others were not affected, they could sense the horror in it - there was only one thought left in their minds: the witch was really going to do it.

"You are my hope... the new hope of the Freljord, and even the world. I place my hope in you... but in the face of absolute death, I will choose the most conservative option."

The air was frozen, and layers of ice began to form on Cheng Xiao's body. Lissandra's tone became increasingly cold and firm:

"Those monsters are ready to make a move, but I can at least suppress them for a few years, a dozen years, or even decades... As long as there is time, I may find new hope."

"You are the most promising hope I have seen in these millennia, but you are not the only hope."

"You should understand that decades of time are just a moment to me..."

The ice had already wrapped around Cheng Xiao's entire body, and his heartbeat became weaker and weaker.

"Witch! Are you crazy?" The hot-tempered Sejuani couldn't stand it anymore and immediately swung her chain hammer at Lissandra.

Unfortunately, her brute force was no match for the Frost Witch's magic.

Any ice spike blocked her chain hammer, and even she was knocked away, with a blood mark immediately appearing on her abdomen.

Ashe also drew her bowstring, but her ice crystal arrow did not fly.

Because she discovered a clue...

Leblanc also discovered the clues.

"Don't kill Cheng Xiao outright," LeBlanc commanded Lissandra. "His resurrection will only cause more trouble. Let him be frozen alive."

Lissandra seemed not to hear and continued to output magic power.

Just when Cheng Xiao was about to be frozen to death, Leblanc attacked with a [Malicious Magic Seal], directly shattering the ice on Cheng Xiao's body.

"I said, don't kill him directly..."

LeBlanc's tone was filled with threats.

Lissandra finally nodded, her movements stiff and sluggish, as if she had collapsed internally.

She gathered her magic power again, and this time the ice magic was obviously much weaker than before, but it had a much greater impact on Cheng Xiao - if he was frozen to death directly, he could trigger various skills, and there would still be room for a reversal.

But if he was frozen into an ice sculpture while still alive... then he would have no choice but to be dragged back to Noxus by LeBlanc.

but……

Cheng Xiao was not panicked.

Because he could feel from the slowly spreading layer of ice on his body... that the other party was giving him a chance.

Once the ice froze his entire body, there was no chance for him to turn over, but Lissandra was deliberately slowing down.

She was giving him time.

Give him a chance to figure it out.

Those decisive words just now were probably just to confuse LeBlanc - regardless of the effectiveness.

Of course, if I can't come up with a solution within this period of time...it's hard to say what she will do in the end.

But having the opportunity is enough.

"You didn't use your full strength, did you?" LeBlanc had already noticed that Lissandra was letting her win, and in dissatisfaction, she directly released the magic in her hand.

Boom!

Another [Malicious Magic Seal] was fired, this time directly hitting the Zhenbing that sealed the Void Watcher.

The noise wasn't too loud, but it was definitely not small either - it was hard to say whether the Void Watchers would be disturbed, but at least Lissandra must have felt seriously uneasy.

Her pale lips trembled slightly, as if she was saying something in lip language to Cheng Xiao... and then she increased her magic output.

Cheng Xiao's lower body was completely frozen in a single breath.

And he didn't intend to delay it any longer.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, but maybe I'm going to let you down..."

Cheng Xiao responded to Lissandra with lip language.

Then, the lightning in his palm shot out.

He struck his own heart.

Boom!

[Host has died]

[Skill [Battle, Awesome!] Activated]

[Skill [Three Seconds of Real Manliness] has been activated]

The ice that froze Cheng Xiao instantly lost its effect, and he became immune to all damage and control during the duration of [Three Seconds of Real Manliness].

[Fighting, awesome!] gave him even greater strength, and he escaped perfectly in the surging magical energy.

As a result, not only LeBlanc was shocked, but even Lissandra who was helping him was stunned.

She originally just wanted to give Cheng Xiao some time and a chance to think of a solution, but she never thought of giving him complete freedom.

After all, he had just done something beyond her tolerance.

"Cheng Xiao!" Lissandra shouted, trying to get the young man she had her eyes on to stop.

Unfortunately, Cheng Xiao ignored her.

He gathered all his increased magic power into his body, and his entire body was immediately enveloped by surging thunder, like a human-shaped ball of light emitting strong white light.

At the same time, Ashe raised her longbow and released her fingers that had already tightened the bowstring.

Boom——!

call out--!

Two powerful attacks came towards Leblanc without any explanation.

The magic in the latter's hand has completely stuck to the ice layer, as if to say, if I die, no one will be able to live.

After a moment of hesitation, Lissandra still didn't dare to participate in this gamble.

With lightning speed, she summoned a thick wall of ice.

Cheng Xiao's lightning and Ashe's arrows hit the ice wall, barely breaking half of it, far from penetrating it.

Leblanc, who was blocked behind the ice wall, was naturally unharmed.

But this is only the first paragraph.

Cheng Xiao's mouth curled up in a playful arc.

His backup hand was actually his left hand that had been hidden behind his back - the attack just now was just a deception.

Another imperceptible beam of lightning shot out, bypassing the ice wall from the other side and heading straight for Leblanc.

This was quite unexpected.

But unfortunately...both LeBlanc and Lissandra have lived for thousands of years.

In terms of combat experience, the young Cheng Xiao was no match for them.

It is impossible for them to fall into the same trap twice.

"That's enough, Cheng Xiao!"

Lissandra gave a rare reprimand, unleashing the magic she had prepared.

A thick ice cone shot out from beside Leblanc, successfully blocking Cheng Xiao's thunder.

LeBlanc just stood there smiling without any reaction, as if she had anticipated everything that was going to happen.

Cheng Xiao's little trick was exposed.

The injured Sejuani and Ashe, who had tried her best to shoot the strongest arrow, were in despair on the spot.

Lissandra shook her head in disappointment, as if she had finally made some kind of decision - she released magic at Cheng Xiao again, and this time she was really serious.

The layer of ice covering Cheng Xiao was not fatal, but it spread at an alarming speed.

Before Cheng Xiao could even retract his hand that released the thunder, the ice froze all the parts below his neck.

In this state, he could neither die nor move.

If he cannot commit suicide, [Three Seconds of Real Manliness] cannot be triggered, and he naturally cannot escape Lissandra's serious freeze.
