Yu Lili was exceedingly arrogant, but she hadn't actually considered taking out Hu Tao in a quick kill to end the battle.
Yu Lili knew very well that the longer the duel dragged on, the more it benefitted her.
With every extra minute, a large influx of viewers would pour into her live stream.
Yu Lili planned to have the Dark Egret Leopard and the two Shadow Flame Bats kill the Barrier Silver Phoenix, a Guardian Beast that had fought alongside Jianmu numerous times.
Otherwise, Yu Lili could have simply allowed the two Shadow Flame Bats to bypass the Barrier Silver Phoenix, targeting Hu Tao as the main assault objective.
Hu Tao methodically had the Barrier Silver Phoenix apply the Skill [Firm Protection] on herself.
Through its Exclusive Feature [Thorny Feather Crown], the Barrier Silver Phoenix received half the damage while protecting its target.
Simultaneously with the activation of the Exclusive Feature [Thorny Feather Crown], [Suffering Siphon] was also activated.
