Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1145 Practicing the Empty Arrow

"Be careful, this guy named Songxiang knows you have a King-level Purple Weapon, yet he still dares to challenge you. He must have some special methods."

Wu Mingyue reminded her from behind.

Wu Qingyun had already checked Songxiang's attributes through the [Hunter's Guide].

【Songxiang (Level 16 Enhanced Warrior)】

[Race: Humanoid/Human]

[Attributes: Strength 350, Agility 445, Stamina 409, Spirit 740]

[Skills: Puppet Manipulation, Clone Technique, Serpent Walk and Leaping Flip]

"He's just a level 16 enhanced warrior, skilled in puppetry and escape techniques. He probably wants to use puppets to block my ranged attacks and slowly wear me down... I just don't know how he'll win."

Wu Qingyun drew his bow and shot an arrow.

She didn't care about anything else and just started hitting him.

Songxiang unfolded two sealing scrolls with both hands, and with the energy activating, the ten puppets that had been sealed in the scrolls beforehand appeared.

Summoning classes, skilled in puppetry, are characterized by their extremely fast summoning speed, requiring no incantation whatsoever.

The drawback is that the puppets lack the ability to act independently and require a puppeteer to control them using fine energy threads. With a large number of puppets, a significant amount of mental focus is needed, requiring multitasking.

Songxiang's control techniques were clearly quite skillful; the ten puppets, each with a different shape, were clearly divided into roles, some charging, some blocking.

The puppet responsible for blocking raised its large shield and blocked Wu Qingyun's arrow.

But it's not that simple.

Wu Qingyun's arrows come with the passive effect of the King-level Purple Weapon [Lion Camel Dragon Bow]: Acid Corrosion Arrows!

The arrows carried a strong acid effect, and when they landed on the puppet's shield, they quickly corroded it, soon creating a large hole in the shield!

Immediately afterwards, Wu Qingyun fired a barrage of arrows. These arrows were condensed energy, requiring Wu Qingyun to expend his energy, and were also accompanied by the acidic corrosion effect of the Lion Camel Dragon Bow.

With just the Acidic Arrow, Wu Qingyun defeated two intermediate-level evolved beings in succession!
Every puppet that lunged at them was quickly destroyed and rendered immobile by the power of the acid arrows.

Songxiang's expression remained unchanged as he unfurled the sealing scroll once more, taking out a new one for each puppet destroyed.

When he had eliminated ten puppets, Wu Qingyun remained calm and composed.

When fifty puppets were eliminated, Wu Qingyun's expression turned solemn.

By the time he had eliminated a hundred puppets, Wu Qingyun was already showing signs of fatigue. The Lion Camel Dragon Bow was undoubtedly powerful, but it also placed high demands on the user and consumed a great deal of energy!
The passive skill [Acidic Arrow] requires a large amount of Blood-Dissolving Battle Qi to generate. Fortunately, after experiencing the trials of the main storyline world [Eternal Night], Wu Qingyun's basic energy strength was raised to the Lord level. Otherwise, he would not be qualified to use this bow at all.

Wu Qingyun had tried shooting with a regular bow and arrow without activating the Acidic Arrow.

However, this greatly reduced the efficiency of destroying the puppets, and several melee puppets quickly pounced on her, affecting her output environment.

Fortunately, Wu Qingyun could use spatial cutting to briefly create distance, but in doing so, she dared not conserve her battle qi any longer.

"Qingyun, we can't afford to waste any more time. Heaven knows how many puppets this guy prepared in advance!" Wu Mingyue said.

These puppets weren't very strong, but they were all fearless—they had no consciousness, no concept of life or death, and they pounced on Wu Qingyun, driving her crazy.

Wu Qingyun nodded, and she drew the bow again, pouring a large amount of blood-dissolving battle qi into the bow at once.

A ball of acid quickly condensed and took shape. As the lion-dragon tendon, which served as the bowstring, tightened, the acid ball was launched with a roar, splitting into a large number of acid arrows that shot out densely.

The target was none other than Songxiang herself, who was hiding behind the puppet!

The Lion Camel Dragon Bow's [Acid Arrow] active activation effect: A rain of acid arrows!

The trajectory of these acid arrows can be controlled by the shooter, but Wu Qingyun's mastery of long-range shooting is not high, only at the "proficient" level, so the control is not completely accurate.

Most of the acid arrows struck the puppets surrounding Songxiang, shattering them and corroding them completely.

Only a small portion of the acid arrows managed to penetrate the gaps in the puppets' defenses and hit Songxiang herself.

However, Songxiang, who was hit, disappeared with a pop, like a bubble bursting.

This is a fake!
Wu Qingyun felt it was impossible.

The "Songxiang" in front of me has clearly been marked by my [Hunter's Guide], so it can't be a fake.

unless……

The opponent's clone skill has a higher priority than the [Stalker Encyclopedia]!
"Little girl, you are no match for me."

Songxiang, who had revealed his true form not far away, walked forward with a smile. With a flick of his finger, a magnificent dark gold scroll unfolded, summoning a powerful lord-level puppet from within!
Of course, in terms of actual combat power, a lord-level puppet cannot be compared with a real lord, because it only has attribute panels and energy cores, but lacks the grand momentum, true intent, and so on of a real lord.

The amount of combat power a puppet can unleash depends on the person controlling it. The summoner's True Intent level is the key to maximizing the combat power of a Lord-level puppet.

Songxiang's tactics are now crystal clear: he wants to use cannon fodder puppets to deplete Wu Qingyun's energy, preferably to force out his ultimate move, and then summon his trump card, the Lord-level puppet, to deliver the final blow!
Wu Qingyun bit her lip.

"Let's retreat for now. Let them have the mining rights for this land. We'll settle accounts with them when Xiaobai returns from the Wilderness World."

Wu Mingyue frowned and said that she felt something was wrong. This Songxiang gave her a very awkward feeling, and also a sense of danger.

Besides, Wu Qingyun had only just advanced to the intermediate level of evolution. He had only made progress in energy advancement and general cultivation, and his other combat skills and combat specializations had not been upgraded.

In terms of combat strength, Wu Qingyun and Wu Mingyue together are capable of dealing with a mid-level lord.

However, the current bet is a one-on-one match, and it's normal that Wu Qingyun can't beat her opponent when she's at a disadvantage.

However, just as Wu Qingyun was about to admit defeat, she heard Song Xiang speak with another cold laugh:
"What kind of Heavenly Court organization is this? A bunch of country bumpkins playing house, daring to embarrass themselves on the Silverheart Continent. Your organization leader is that so-called Steelheart who's been hyped up so much, right? Just a bunch of bumpkin leaders, you might as well disband!"

Wu Mingyue felt something was wrong even more and took a step forward.

Wu Qingyun, however, raised her eyebrows and turned to draw her bow!

As she prepared to unleash her power, the bowstring was drawn back, as if a giant beast had opened its mouth, surging with an aura that could devour the energy of heaven and earth!
Because of the close proximity, the lord-level puppet's energy was absorbed by the invisible behemoth's mouth, rendering all its attacks ineffective.

This is precisely the second skill of the King-level Purple Weapon [Lion Camel Dragon Bow]:
Beastmaster practices his aerial arrows!
The first stage can absorb the energy of external attacks, including energy dissipated from heaven and earth.

The second stage of refinement and counterattack condenses the pure and massive energy into an energy arrow, which is the Beast King's Empty Arrow Training.

This move is too powerful, and Wu Qingyun uses it with extreme caution in the battles of the Silver Heart Great World.

Either the other party can't catch the arrow and is shot dead, thus creating an enmity.

Either the opponent can catch this arrow, which means their strength is far superior to Wu Qingyun's, making this killing move meaningless.

If Songxiang hadn't insulted the Heavenly Court and Bai Pu, Wu Qingyun wouldn't have been provoked into firing that deadly arrow.

boom!
With a thunderous roar, a large hole was pierced through the lord-level puppet.

The arrow, still powerful, shot towards Songxiang like a meteor.

Songxiang's lord-level puppet was severely damaged, and he himself suffered a backlash, temporarily unable to move.

However, Songxiang showed no sign of panic as she watched the arrow fly towards her.

Instead, a powerful, fiery aura erupted from him!

A crimson torrent of flames, almost tangible, surged forth, gradually diminishing and extinguishing the power of the Sky-Piercing Arrow. Finally, it landed on Songxiang and was effortlessly absorbed by his protective energy shield.

"Township?"

"Domain Lord?"

Wu Qingyun and Wu Mingyue both stared wide-eyed.

This puppet summoner named Songxiang is actually a domain lord!
Songxiang's image also changed drastically, like a cicada shedding its skin, revealing a completely different appearance.

He was tall and thin, with eyes as red as burning coals, and skin covered with tiny reddish scales.

Red race!
Everyone in the Heavenly Court organization sensed something was wrong; they had been tricked.

However, when they tried to escape, they were sealed off by another layer of ethereal suppressive power. This suppressive layer was different from Songxiang's fire-based suppressive layer; it possessed spatial and illusionary properties.

At this moment, another slightly mocking voice rang out:

"Chasong, you couldn't even defeat a level 14 junior and were forced to use your Town Domain. If word got out, you'd be a laughing stock."

As these words were spoken, a small, red-skinned evolved human also removed his disguise and stepped out of the crowd.

His figure was blurry, as if seen through frosted glass, and could not be clearly seen.

The distance between us seemed both near and far, and we couldn't see him clearly.

Only that ethereal, obscure space and illusionary domain enveloped the area, preventing everyone from escaping.

Two red-skinned domain lords!
This is a conspiracy, a trap set for the Heavenly Lord Steelheart!
Under normal circumstances, Wu Qingyun and Wu Mingyue would be defeated by Song Xiang, who was hiding her true strength, and Bai Pu would then arrive next.

At that time, the two red-skinned domain lords will be able to tear off their disguises and capture Bai Pu!
The reason it was described as a capture rather than a killing is because Bai Pu possesses a supernatural seed that allows him to escape back to the main storyline world when faced with mortal danger.

Instead, we should capture him and take him back to the Red Race headquarters to be dealt with slowly.

This hidden lord of space and illusion magic came specifically for this purpose.

The information Wu Qingyun saw through the [Hunter's Compendium] was all illusion-based disguises, including those who deliberately provoked conflict with the Heavenly Court organization!
