displayed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>made all the new lords present feel a sense of pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Close, nearing Su Yu's territory!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last fog barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attacks from the eight arrow defense towers erupted forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't shooting arrows,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was like cannon fire, like thunder shaking the nine heavens!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight dark shadows streaked past like flashes of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This... is an arrow defense tower?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, how can it be so exaggerated?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Scared me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many lords who didn't understand Su Yu, and some alien lords who joined just to watch,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce arrows tore through the air, stirring up several gusts of wind shockwaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground, fragile like a water's surface,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>layered and cracked because of the arrow surges,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>lifting up several trenches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these arrows carrying an unstoppable momentum halted before Tian Xuannu's fair hand,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>spinning weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This can even be blocked?! 960\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Too exaggerated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps it has reached city-destroying level...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably not, maybe she used a specialized item to defend against arrows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the arena, there was a clamor of voices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, as a lord, Tian Xuannu's strength could be so formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Tian Xuannu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To so easily withstand arrow defense towers with over a thousand attack power,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it seemed the opponent came prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone sees you as arrogant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see you, as laughable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you pour all your resources into these eight arrow defense towers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pretending to be leisurely and refined, yet actually already using your full power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And I, have only revealed a tip of the iceberg.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Xuannu stretched out a hand, crushing the arrow in her grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She coldly looked down upon Su Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mystic Armor Protection, reduces arrow damage by 60%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrow Repulsion Aura, reduces arrow damage by 30%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having used these two abilities, she had no fear of Su Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze carried a touch of frivolity, and nine parts mockery, watching Su Yu take the bow from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Territory buildings are arrow attacks, the weapon used is also a bow and arrows,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she had guessed long ago that Su Yu's talent belonged to the type that enhanced arrow attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although proud, she wasn't one to be conceited and self-important,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after all, it was an Epic-grade bow and arrows, after all, those extraordinary arrow defense towers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>deserved her attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To win against Su Yu steadily, and obtain the bow in his hand,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>such preparations were necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used my full power?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu grasped the [Cloud Devil Flame Bow], calmly looking at Tian Xuannu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the new lords,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no one was qualified, deserving his full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Who do you think you are?\" Xia Tianxuan Nu looked at Su Yu with disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu's calmness made her somewhat irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw no trace of worry, fear, alarm, or panic from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not how a minor figure should behave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Yu, from Blue Star, a newly appointed lord, human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu introduced himself, his increasingly serene voice further irritating Xia Tianxuan Nu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who allowed you to speak to me like this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the Saintess of the human race; you are merely a minor figure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianxuan Nu could no longer suppress the anger within her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her delicate eyebrows arched, filled with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted Su Yu to regret deeply, to panic and fall defeated before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To regret not willing to hand over the [Cloud Heaven Demon Flame Bow],\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To regret daring to have Bai Bai Xiaowei refuse her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Xia Tianxuan Nu's words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yu's lips curled into a trace of frivolity, seemingly not taking Xia Tianxuan Nu seriously at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This action further provoked Xia Tianxuan Nu's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over these years,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>who upon seeing her did not respectfully address her as Saintess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of attitude is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A marginal product from the Seventh Universe,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>truly thinks being a bit lucky makes you a significant figure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Su Yu, I dislike you very much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianxuan Nu forcefully suppressed the rising anger in her heart,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>too many people were watching this confrontation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she needed to control her facial expressions,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>to display her own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really coincidental, I dislike you too as well.\" Su Yu grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianxuan Nu's chest, rising and falling, gradually calmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Su Yu playfully: \"So, you intended to provoke me in this manner?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Knowing you'll surely lose, why bother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The struggle of a nobody like you looks utterly ridiculous in my eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A nobody is always a nobody.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seeing even a tiny bit of profit, you'll struggle and scramble for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sold a bit of water, gained a lot of territory energy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have a legendary hero?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Possess an epic-grade bow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think that qualifies you to be compared to me on an equal footing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I invited you to battle, you probably were so excited you couldn't sleep in your bed last night, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you finally have the qualification to stand on the same stage as me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianxuan Nü looked at Su Yu and said seriously, \"Su Yu, I tell you, no matter how much you strive to climb up, you'll never reach the level where I stand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The territory energy you lack is, for me, nearly infinite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Any treasure, any material, once discovered, is supplied to me first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only you are an exception.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Xia Tianxuan Nü laughed mockingly, \"I'm curious why you refused to give that epic-grade bow to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you don't deserve it,\" Su Yu said, drawing the bowstring of the [Cloud and Devil Flame Bow].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't deserve it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianxuan Nü was amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know that I represent the human race?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My participation in the Myriad Races Ranking Battle determines the human race's status among all worlds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It decides the human race's resource allocation for the next thousand years across the worlds!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I don't deserve it, who does?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Su Yu draw the bowstring,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she sneered disdainfully, \"Don't waste your effort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just deploying arrow defense towers doomed your defeat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who do you think you are? Not deploying troops or heroes, just imitating Lord Yue Luo won't elevate your level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then even if I deploy nothing, I can still crush you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crush me?\" Su Yu drew the [Cloud and Devil Flame Bow] to full draw,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and curiously asked, \"Are you above level 20?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianxuan Nü scoffed lightly, \"Of course not, what of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Myriad Worlds battlefield, typically one needs to develop for over a year to reach level 20,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>mainly limited by the too little experience obtainable from wild monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the difficulty of cultivating experience trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me tell you, broaden your horizons properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mysterious Armor Protection, reduces arrow damage by 60%.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arrow Resistance Aura, reduces arrows...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianxuan Nü didn't finish her words as Su Yu released the black arrow from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you're not level 20, then go die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A light, floating sentence rang beside Xia Tianxuan Nü's ear,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet at this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>she simply had no time to pay attention to Su Yu's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her entire focus was on that arrow leaving the string!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every cell in her body told her,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>death was approaching!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible, this is clearly just an arrow!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of arrow, after reducing damage by 90%, could still pose a danger to her?!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"[Heavenly Mysterious Nine Transformations]!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianxuan Nü's figure instantly split from one into nine,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then rapidly retreated backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, she retreated dozens of miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that arrow's flight speed was bizarre,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>moreover it seemed like it had eyes, locking onto her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Penetrating through layers of illusions, it rushed straight toward her true body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how she dodged, she couldn't avoid it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>any obstruction only made the arrow's speed pause slightly, impossible to stop it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianxuan Nü dared not turn again, could only retreat along a straight line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she discovered, that black arrow's speed didn't change at all when turning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the distance getting closer and closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her clear, watery eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept throwing out items using her terminal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Temporary Armor Talisman】, reduces arrow damage received by 500 points, lasts 60 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Special Arrow Protection Talisman】, reduces arrow damage received by 50 points, lasts 1 hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Bow God's Hope】, reduces arrow damage received by 1000 points, lasts 60 seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pile of items targeting arrows kept being thrown out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Layers of light brightened around Xia Tianxuan Nu's

reduction against arrow damage had already reached the limit — 90%,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>now she could only keep stacking fixed value reductions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, even after stacking so much, that sense of threat in her heart still hadn't dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is going on?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is stacking so much having no effect at all?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that his one arrow surpasses even the nation-destroying level?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Tianxuan Nu had retreated a thousand miles, back to where the territory crystal was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, her eyes brightened,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>deploy territory
