Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1198: Chapter 404: The Six Towns Arrive Together, Hand Over the Culprit, Divine Machine Crossbows, Oath-Betting (Part 3)

"Lord Xia Hong, why haven’t you come out yet?"

"Afraid?"

"Impossible! Isn’t everyone saying that Lord Xia Hong’s power has already surpassed Lord Yang Zhun, making him the number one among the Nine Towns?"

"That’s just rumors. The two haven’t really fought; who knows?"

"Afraid? Certainly not. Lord Xia Hong must be intentionally staying hidden. Watch carefully to find out!"

......

"Lord Yang Zhun, just relying on a letter of accusation, you want to tarnish the name of Great Xia? That’s too frivolous!"

As Xia Chuan spoke, everyone’s gaze in South City slightly sharpened.

Although Xia Hong has yet to appear, many believe he will eventually come. Today, the gathering of the Six Lords is attended by lords, or at least Xianyang Level strongmen. No matter how strong Xia Chuan is, he is merely at the Cold Resistance Level cultivation, lacking the power or status to step up.

The key issue is that from the moment Yang Zhun and the twelve appeared, Xia Chuan hasn’t performed even the most basic salute, which is clearly excessive.

Just like when Xiahou Zhang first appeared at Qinghepu, not only did Jiangxia Town salute him, but even the Cold Resistance Level of the other seven towns saluted him as well.

This is the essential respect due to those of Xianyang Level, an unspoken rule acknowledged by all at the South Slope of Moao Mountain.

Great Xia has integrated into the Nine Towns for over four months; Xia Chuan knows this?

Impossible!

Everyone instantly realized, Xia Chuan is doing it on purpose.

"So arrogant!"

"Before Lord Xia Hong arrives, does Xia Chuan dare to be so arrogant?"

"Xia Chuan’s power is still unclear, at most around forty Dou?"

"Even fifty Dou won’t do. That’s Lord Yang Zhun, the first recognized strongman among the Nine Towns of Moao’s Southern Slope!"

"Lately, haven’t they been saying Xia Hong is the first of the Nine Towns?"

"Xia Hong’s reputation is spread, but Lord Yang Zhun’s position as first was earned ten years ago, snatched straight from the hands of the former first Shangguan Yang."

......

In mid-air, Yang Zhun did not respond to Xia Chuan. He merely looked down and stared at Xia Chuan for less than ten breaths before shifting his gaze, releasing his presence to sense around the Ministry Building, noticing no Xianyang Level presence inside, his expression instantly darkened.

"Xia Hong, have you become a turtle hiding in its shell?"

"Bold!"

Yang Zhun’s attitude clearly showed that Xia Chuan wasn’t worthy to converse with him, hence why he ignored Xia Chuan, realizing Xia Hong wasn’t inside the Ministry Building, immediately speaking with scorn, trying to provoke Xia Hong.

Yet unexpectedly, instead of provoking Xia Hong, his statement immediately elicited an angry shout from Xia Chuan.

Whoosh...

Yang Zhun remained unresponsive, but beside him, Beishuo Town Chief, his brother Yang Fa, seeing his brother’s majesty challenged once again, finally couldn’t hold back.

He suddenly hurled the silver long spear in his hand, the target clearly the crowd in front of the Ministry Building where Xia Chuan stood.

Not just Xia Chuan alone, but everyone around him.

Xianyang Level power is measured in Dou, capable of hundreds, even with merely throwing a long spear, Yang Fa instantly created a silver pillar of light in mid-air, fiercely targeting Xia Chuan’s circle as it plunged down.

Know this: Yang Zhun’s group is currently only about a hundred meters from the ground, and the long spear thrown almost reached its target in an instant.

"Release!"

Whoosh...

Yet at this critical moment, a fierce shout suddenly emerged from the military zone behind the Ministry Building, followed by a three-meter-long silver long spear shooting through.

That silver long spear’s power was astonishing, forming a silver pillar of light in mid-air, precisely striking Yang Fa’s long spear.

Boom...

The two silver light pillars collided fiercely in mid-air, the force so intense that it didn’t produce the usual clang of gold and iron, but straight up created a thunderous explosion, making the entire sky above Hongmen City quiver.

"What’s that?"

"A long spear, does someone in Great Xia excel at spears?"

"Not a spear; it’s an arrow, a three-meter-long silver crossbow arrow."

"Look at the barracks; something is being pushed out!"

......

Blocked!

Yang Fa retrieved his long spear, feeling the returned power from it, his expression suddenly stunned, then looked down at the barracks behind the Ministry, where giant iron wheel cars were being pushed out one after another, his expression instantly froze upon seeing the giant crossbow arrows on them.

"Since Town Chief Yang took the first move, it’s not my Great Xia’s fault!"

Xia Chuan’s face suddenly broke into a smile, giving the impression he had been waiting for the Xianyang Level of the Six Towns to make the first move.

As his voice fell, twenty special Divine Machine Crossbows had already been lined up one after another on both sides of the Ministry Building, noteworthy is that before being pushed out, the Divine Machine Crossbows were already loaded with silver giant arrows.

Just like when Xia Hong led others to deal with the White Dew Monster, at the fore of every Divine Machine Crossbow stood one person ready to aim, surrounded by hundreds of Golden Armored Soldiers who tethered ropes to keep the front, middle, and back bowstrings taut. Obviously, as soon as the leader gives the command, everyone will simultaneously release their ropes, and the crossbow arrows will fly out.

At this moment, the silver giant arrows on all twenty Divine Machine Crossbows, without exception, were aimed at Yang Fa in mid-air.

"The first crossbow arrow just now was shot by Director Yuwen!"

"Can this crossbow arrow threaten Xianyang Level?"

"Didn’t you see? That crossbow arrow shot back Town Chief Yang’s long spear."

"Just look at Town Chief Yang’s face."

"Not just Yang Fa; the other eleven people’s faces have changed."
