However, all this struggle was in vain.

The arrows, glowing faintly and imbued with Professional Energy, shattered the thin Shield instantly before nailing themselves onto him.

Ten thousand arrows piercing through the heart!

Each arrow did not deal much damage, roughly forty to fifty points, even a critical hit barely exceeded a hundred points, with an additional twenty points of true damage.

But nearly a hundred arrows hit him at the same time!

The true damage alone was nearly two thousand! The Physical Damage exceeded five thousand.

Except for Tank-type Heroes, no one could withstand this wave of arrow rain.

Even the Awakened could not. Without uttering a sound, he sagged and fell, with arrows all over his body, his Life Value dropping to zero.

"Second stage, shoot!"

The essence of Three-Stage Shooting is continuous, uninterrupted output.

After the first row of archers killed an Awakened, they crouched on the spot, drew another arrow, set it on the bowstring, and pulled it back into a semicircle.

The second row of archers shot out the second wave of arrows in unison, killing another person, and then the third row of archers fired their prepared arrows, killing a third person!

At this time, the first row of archers had prepared themselves in response to Xiang Yinghua’s command to rise.

Upon rising, they fully drew their Longbows and shot again, and another Awakened in Leather Armor fell.

The entire Special Operations Team moved like a high-speed spinning wheel.

Precise, efficient, and... endless!

In just ten seconds, several Awakened from the Star-Picking Tower were shot dead.

These people had all gone through the trials of the Professional Plane, promoted to Advanced Awakened experts, and most were Enhanced Elites!

But in front of the Sharp Sword Special Operations Team, they were merely lambs awaiting slaughter.

"The Secret Arrow Shooter unit lives up to its name." Bai Pu thought to himself, although he could also easily slaughter Advanced Enhanced Elites, he could never be as efficient.

"Thanks to your Domain, which restricted the opponent’s actions." Xiang Yinghua sincerely praised Bai Pu’s contribution.

Suddenly, a sense of alarm surged in Bai Pu’s heart.

A dragon’s roar erupted beside Bai Pu, as a dragon-shaped Qi Force flashing with thunder shot forward.

"Candle Dragon! Are you crazy?"

Xiang Yinghua’s angry rebuke echoed.

A grand, blazing white electric light almost completely swallowed Bai Pu.

[You were attacked by the Awakened Candle Dragon’s Mystical Arts: Thunder Dragon Flash, suffering 1058 points of mixed damage (455 points of Sharp Damage were blocked), and fell into a paralysis state lasting 3 seconds (1 second was resisted). You can initiate a justified counterattack against Candle Dragon, killing the target will not increase Bloody Value, and the dropped level of the target’s Bloody Treasure Chest will be +1.]

Through the thunderbolt light, Bai Pu faintly saw the original tall and well-featured Candle Dragon whose body shape was rapidly changing and whose facial features were transforming.

Eventually, Candle Dragon turned into a slender man with a lean face, holding a bright white Long Saber, with thin electric arcs flickering on the blade.

This face, this person...

Bai Pu had seen the photo and had also collected information about the person in front.

No mistake, the person who changed into "Candle Dragon" now is the current Titled Strong Person "Dragon King"!

A strong sense of threat emerged from Dragon King’s body.

This was not a matter of feeling the Qi but rather that Dragon King’s power was excessively overwhelming, like facing a giant human-shaped ancient beast. Even if the beast was facing away, an ordinary person would feel their legs trembling, their entire body shaking.

An analysis of the combat record reveals.

The "Thunder Dragon Flash" Mystical Arts skill just launched by Dragon King was a type of Physical Sharp Damage mixed with Magic Thunder Damage.

The majority of the damage was Sharp Damage, originally able to inflict four to five thousand output! But Bai Pu first used his Shield to block the attack, reducing most of the damage.

Dragon King’s long, slender eyes glanced over. In the instant his eyes met Bai Pu’s, an even stronger sense of threat surged into his heart.

Without hesitation, Bai Pu used the Decoupling Skill [Evil Qi] to clear his paralysis and sluggishness, holding his Shield firmly.

"I intended to take you down in one strike, but I didn’t expect you to be prepared. Do you distrust everyone or are you simply on guard against me?"

Dragon King believed that with his attack speed, if Bai Pu hadn’t prepared the Shield in advance, he would surely be unable to block.

Seeing that Bai Pu had already removed the control effect, Dragon King was not in a hurry to pursue, instead speaking while seeking Bai Pu’s flaws.

Bai Pu took a breath, slowly Replenishing Qi: "I am just guarding against you."

"Oh? Perhaps some flaw appeared in my Transformation Technique?" Dragon King asked curiously.

"The Awakened from the Star-Picking Tower showed no fear in their charge against the Secret Arrow Shooter unit’s volley."

Bai Pu’s response was unexpected. "If it were just the first few people charging fearlessly because of Taiyin and Eternal Frost’s control, that would make sense. But as my Domain expanded, with the Secret Arrow Shooter unit killing them one by one, their continued charge could only mean one thing: they had a definitive confidence in victory, believing the Secret Arrow Shooter unit would face annihilating destruction."

How could the Secret Arrow Shooter unit face annihilation under the shelter of "Natural Shelter"?

There were only those within the same protective shield: Bai Pu, Xiang Yinghua, and Candle Dragon.

From the start, Bai Pu had taken out the Dark Gold Tower Shield, mainly to guard against Candle Dragon.

Candle Dragon chose Bai Pu as the first target for a simple reason.

As the hidden old sixth, his first move posed the greatest threat.

And with Bai Pu possessing the Sandfall Domain, his importance to this battle was unequivocal. Killing Bai Pu would remove the Domain’s support for the Secret Arrow Shooter unit, naturally leading to their collapse.

As for Xiang Yinghua, he seemed more like a high-level Support, having some Combat Power but equivalent to nothing in Dragon King’s eyes.

Gazing at Dragon King, Bai Pu’s vision filled with the opponent’s basic Attributes.

[Dragon King: Power 157, Agility 200, Endurance 118, Spirit 81]

[Overall Combat Power: 6570.]

This was Dragon King.

As a comparison, the Mid-level Lord "Youyan Guest" had a combat power over four thousand.

Dragon King’s combat power exceeded six thousand! Likely comparable to an Advanced Spirit Realm Lord Level strong person.

"I just gave you a chance, yet you didn’t run?" Dragon King said calmly.

"Hoping to scare me away is exactly what you desire, isn’t it?" Bai Pu squinted his eyes, "If you had the confidence to eliminate both me and the Sharp Sword Special Operations Team together, you would never give me a chance to escape!"

The fact that Dragon King offered a chance indicated his lack of assurance; therefore, he wanted Bai Pu to flee, to facilitate the annihilation of the Sharp Sword Special Operations Team.

Having his thoughts seen through, Dragon King sneered: "Such ignorance of one’s limitations... then witness this, frog in a well!"

A magnificent electric light halo suddenly dispersed!
