A sharp pain shot through Liu Sha's body, causing her to tremble and her entire defense system to become even more disorganized.
Then, like toppling dominoes, a series of chain reactions ensued.
The diamond-like transformation of his entire body receded like a tide, and the signs of collapse were hard to conceal.
"Pfft! Pfft pfft pfft—!"
Several more arrows broke through his defenses and pierced his thighs and abdomen!
Liu Sha let out a painful groan, staggered, and gushed out a large amount of blood!
The defeat seems inevitable.
Strangely, after successfully hitting his body, these arrows did not choose to penetrate completely and cause maximum damage. Instead, they were like barbed harpoons, deliberately left inside his body, firmly embedded in his flesh and bones.
At the same time, the intense heat contained in the arrow penetrated directly into his body, not only causing continuous burning pain, but also generating a powerful binding force that interfered with and blocked the flow of subsequent energy within his body.
"Ugh—!"
Liu Sha couldn't help but scream again, instinctively trying to struggle.
He tried to twist his body, but found that his body was almost completely controlled by the arrows, becoming heavier and heavier, and his movements becoming slower and slower.
The next moment, the dozen or so arrows that were deeply embedded in the body simultaneously unleashed a powerful pulling force.
It hooked onto his bones and muscles like an iron hook, lifting him forcefully off the ground!
Liu Sha flailed his arms wildly, and the sand with remaining energy below surged up, tightly binding Liu Sha's legs and trying to pull him back to the ground, but the force of the arrow was clearly slightly stronger.
"Sizzle—!"
Amidst the violent scraping sounds, Liu Sha was pulled out of the sand pile like a puppet on strings by more than a dozen arrows.
His feet were completely off the ground, and he was 'suspended' in mid-air!
Fresh blood gushed from the wound, dripping onto the sand and gravel below, spreading out patches of glaring dark red.
The countless tiny grains of sand below still rippled gently, like countless helpless hands trying to grasp him, but it was all in vain.
Liu Sha twisted weakly, but the arrows seemed to have taken root in his body, tightly locking his energy flow and physical strength.
After completely controlling him, the remaining thirty-odd arrows did not continue to attack, but instead hovered quietly around him, completely depriving him of any possibility of resistance or escape.
"Why...?"
Liu Sha struggled to lift her head, her face a mixture of pain and deep confusion.
He didn't understand why the other side, who clearly had the ability to riddle him with arrows, didn't just kill him directly.
Instead, they chose such a troublesome method to severely injure him and imprison him alive?
Why not kill him, but instead torture him?
To avenge those lowly people? To vent anger?
Or... should we hand him over to the Central Plains authorities and subject him to the so-called just trial by those hypocritical people?
A series of guesses flashed through Liu Sha's mind, making him feel uneasy.
Either way, it's more unacceptable to him than death!
If he falls into the hands of the Central Plains government, the secret of the Longevity Sect behind him may be exposed, and that would be a true catastrophe!
He wouldn't even live to see the formal trial. The people from the Changsheng Sect who were lurking in Zhongzhou would eliminate him beforehand to prevent leaks and silence him.
In that case, he would not only die, but also be completely abandoned by the Changsheng Sect, dying in vain.
"No... I can't... I can't be captured alive."
A ruthless glint flashed in Liu Sha's eyes as she continued to recklessly overdraw her life force, attempting to squeeze out the remaining energy within her body once more.
He looked at the large amount of sand around him. He didn't need much; as long as he could control even the smallest grain of sand, he could make it pierce his vital organs!
It's always better to end one's own life than to fall into the enemy's hands.
However, Liu Sha discovered in despair that the energy he had just barely managed to gather due to overdraft was instantly burned and melted away by the arrows embedded in his body.
The intense heat from the arrow not only burned his body but also isolated him from all his energy!
At this moment, he also became extremely weak due to the high temperature. His breathing was painful, and he could not even lift a finger, let alone commit suicide.
"It's over..."
Liu Sha closed her eyes, finally regretting it.
He should have committed suicide the moment he realized he was no match for the enemy!
It's all too late now; he's become someone else's prey, his fate beyond his control.
They were completely at the mercy of their opponents, and even the desire to die became a luxury.
Later, someone will surely try to obtain those secrets, control him, and torture him using all sorts of methods. I'm afraid...
What awaits him is likely an unknown fate more terrifying than death...
After the battle.
On the other side of the platform, the eerie silence lasted for a moment.
The VIPs who were handcuffed, as well as the five healing-type awakened individuals, were so shocked by this mind-blowing scene that they lost all ability to speak.
Black Two and Black Three looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.
They knew Li Yuqiang could defeat Zhao Jianan, but they never imagined he could be this incredibly strong!
Li Yu's true strength is simply unfathomable.
It's important to know that Li Yu had just experienced a major battle with Zhao Jianan outside the stronghold.
He hadn't even shown his face yet; he was simply controlling arrows remotely, yet he was so calm and even a little playful.
They manipulated a powerful high-level Awakened from the Changsheng Sect headquarters, ultimately capturing him alive!
This is beyond the reach of human power, and it is also filled with a crushing ease.
The last glimmer of hope on the faces of the distinguished guests vanished completely. Their eyes were vacant as they obediently remained where they were, no longer harboring any thought of escaping.
After all, what did their pitiful speed matter when they were being pursued by these energy arrows?
Distant family backgrounds and wealth seem like a joke in the face of absolute power.
In contrast, the five healing-type awakened individuals all had shining eyes, and their hearts were filled with indescribable excitement.
They became even more convinced that following Li Yu would lead to a different future.
They could even take advantage of Li Yu's power to completely break free from the control of the Changsheng Sect.
Because such a powerful Awakened One, with such miraculous abilities, was something they had never seen even at the headquarters of the Longevity Gate.
This is not merely a matter of strength, but a chasm caused by the innate difference in the intensity of superpowers.
These healing-type awakened individuals even began to suspect whether the rumors circulating outside about Li Yu's "drifting background" were a despicable smear campaign.
How could someone with such strength be an ordinary vagrant?
There must be some unknown conspiracy involved!
Under the shocked and fearful gazes of everyone, the suspended arrows suddenly adjusted their direction slightly.
Supporting the dying Liu Sha, whose body was riddled with arrows, they slowly circled around the platform and flew towards the depths of the ravine.
They quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
