Firstly, just because he was named an 'elder' doesn't mean that he was a completely defenseless old man.

Secondly, this is Ionia guys, come on, the Elder most likely had great skill with Wuju, or other combat techniques that Ionia uses, like Irelia's ... weird, technique.

Thirdly, I think that Riven was ordered to simply kill this old man, not neccesarily sneak into the temple or the place the Elder was in and stab him in the back with her giant sword. The Elder probably put up a REALLY good fight with his own styles, but ultimately, it was not enough to defend himself from death, maybe via Riven's Wind Slash technique that the Elder did not expect.

Come to think of it, why would someone like Riven be specifically chosen with a wind-technique-runed sword be chosen to assassinate someone whose personal guard was a seasoned wind-technique fighter (aka Yasuo)? They could have simply nuked the place with Singed's Gas Bomb, or send Talon/Katarina in to kill the Elder.

There must have been some sort of conspiracy strategy from Ionian and Noxus. Like some secret meeting. Yasuo and Riven were probably meant to fight each other! *gasp*

Another one of Jericho Swain's master plans, like Kalamanda.

I think I'm starting to go on a tangent here.
