Below the ravine.
Deep shadows and shimmering light intertwined.
The outer side of a recessed rock wall.
The lingering resonance of the bowstring seemed to still be gently vibrating in the air.
Li Yu, who had fired dozens of arrows in succession, slowly lowered the fading Phoenix Bow in his hand.
He raised his head slightly, his deep heterochromatic eyes seeming to pierce through the rock wall and see everything happening on the platform above.
His face remained completely expressionless, displaying only an omniscient calm and an indifferent indifference that suggested he controlled everything.
Zhao Dezheng, standing to the side, looked completely dazed.
He had just witnessed Li Yu draw his bow and prepare to shoot the arrow.
Then, in a way he couldn't understand at all, he instantly "sent" out dozens of arrows containing terrifying energy.
The speed is outrageous!
Zhao Dezheng boasted that he had witnessed the methods of many powerful figures in Jincheng and even the military, but he had never seen anyone with abilities like Li Yu's.
He couldn't discern the specific type of Li Yu's ability, nor could he comprehend how the opponent could achieve such precise strikes beyond visual range.
But those arrows were so fast that his eyes could barely keep up; they were something he had never seen or heard of before.
Zhao Dezheng hurriedly looked up in the direction Li Yu had shot the arrow, his eyes searching through the dim rock face and the intricate shadows.
However, the distance was too great; apart from the cold rocks and the occasional dripping water, he could see nothing and perceive nothing.
"There's nothing here?" Zhao Dezheng muttered to himself, his face full of confusion.
His heart was pounding with curiosity, and he could no longer suppress it. He couldn't help but move closer to Li Yu and whisper:
"Li Yu, can you really see up there?"
You'll find out soon enough.
Li Yu merely tilted her head slightly to glance at him, as if sensing something, or perhaps waiting quietly.
There were no unnecessary explanations, no unnecessarily mysterious statements.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Dezheng could only suppress his urge to investigate and, like Li Yu, turned his gaze toward the top of the ravine.
A moment later, Zhao Dezheng suddenly widened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.
Dozens of crimson-gold rays of light appeared high above, rapidly approaching from afar.
Behind the flowing light, there was a figure covered in blood, with more than a dozen arrows deeply embedded in his body, looking as weak as a rag doll.
Immediately afterwards, the arrows flew back steadily, placing the barely alive Liu Sha in front of Li Yu.
As the movement stopped, Liu Sha's wound was aggravated again, and he seemed to realize something.
Liu Sha opened her eyes with difficulty and slowly raised her head to look up.
Finally, he saw his opponent in this battle for the first time.
It was a very young, cold-faced man, yet he exuded a powerful aura.
However, in stark contrast to this youthfulness was the profound depth in those heterochromatic eyes, which seemed completely out of place for someone of that age.
Looking down upon all things in the world, indifferent to the cycle of life and death.
Just standing there, he naturally exudes a sense of oppression.
Liu Sha then looked at the bow floating beside the young man, with waves of heat emanating from it, indirectly proving that this young man was indeed the one who had just shot the arrow.
This was vastly different from the profound and shrewd ninth-tier awakened one he had imagined.
So young, yet possessing such terrifying strength that could easily crush him... there's no way he could be unknown in Zhongzhou.
Despite the excruciating pain and dizziness, Liu Sha mustered her strength and looked intently at that young face once more.
Sure enough, he seemed to have seen this face somewhere before.
His cloudy, bloodshot eyes struggled to move, as he kept recalling things in his mind.
Newspapers...headlines...Heroes of Central China...Cannes...
A series of key pieces of information and fragmented memories rapidly pieced together in my mind.
Sudden.
A name exploded in his mind, which was on the verge of collapse, like a thunderclap!
"You...you are...Li Yu?!"
Liu Sha's eyes were filled with disbelief, and she managed to utter a hoarse, cracked sound.
Seeing Li Yu's tacit agreement, Liu Sha finally confirmed the other party's identity, and then a look of relief, "No wonder," appeared on her face.
That's right, this is the legendary hero, Li Yu.
Possessing undisputed strength, a unique existence capable of creating miracles.
An extraordinary individual who managed to snatch Kangcheng from the clutches of the Central Plains government and emerge unscathed!
The one who could defeat him with such overwhelming force was indeed no ordinary person.
"No wonder... I didn't die unjustly..."
Liu Sha let out a long breath, a twisted and bitter smile appearing on his face.
Black blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, and the last trace of resentment at defeat in his heart dissipated, turning into ashes.
He accepted reality and finally found a reasonable answer that he could accept wholeheartedly and even use to comfort his dignity.
Yes, only the tenth star lord of Zhongzhou could defeat him in such an unbelievable way.
Unexpectedly, he actually saw a Star Lord in person and even fought with him in the remote Changshengmen stronghold.
What an irony, and what an "honor" it is!
If he had known beforehand that the Zhongzhou Star Lord was involved in the crisis facing this base, he would have immediately abandoned everything and returned to headquarters without looking back the moment he received the news.
Healing Awakeners and Star Trail Cannons are all insignificant in the face of life and death.
Unfortunately, the situation had already spiraled out of his control.
As the arrows lifted Liu Sha up like cargo, bringing him to a very close distance in front of Li Yu, the arrows inside his body grew increasingly hot.
