Chapter 1199: Chapter 404: Six Towns Arrive Together, Hand Over the Culprit, Divine Machine Crossbow, Sworn Oath
......
"Release!"
At the moment when twenty Divine Machine Crossbows appeared, the command seemed to be handed over to Yuwen Dao. He operated the first Divine Machine Crossbow, and after a command, all twenty Divine Machine Crossbows simultaneously released their strings.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Three-meter-long silver-made giant arrows, with a diameter almost as large as a fist; rather than crossbow arrows, they were more like long spears.
Though the Divine Machine Crossbow and the Ice Abyss People’s commonly used longbow share the same principle, their power is not on the same level at all. These silver giant arrows, when launched from the crossbow mechanism, didn’t produce the normal piercing whistle but directly exploded the air with a booming sound.
After flying out, the twenty silver giant arrows instantly absorbed the surrounding airflow, transforming into beams of light, directly flying towards Yang Fa in mid-air.
Due to the airflow being instantly emptied by the arrows at the front, the dozen giant arrows at the back had no air resistance at all. Compared to the first arrow Yuwen Dao shot alone, the power was increased by at least twice.
"Block it!"
At this moment, Yang Zhun and others in mid-air, who had been indifferent all along, finally couldn’t remain calm.
During the interval of the first wave of twenty silver crossbow arrows flying in, Yang Fa’s face instantly turned pale. Watching the over ten thousand people in South City, he bit his teeth and surprisingly didn’t choose to evade but instead raised a long spear to prepare to block.
Clang... Clang... Clang...
He swung the long spear fiercely, splitting two crossbow arrows in succession, but when the third arrow shot at his chest, he finally couldn’t react in time.
At this moment, Yang Zhun spoke.
As Yang Zhun opened his mouth, he also helped deflect the third arrow, simultaneously, the other ten Xianyang Level warriors moved, successively blocking all the arrows.
"Fire arrows!"
However, this was only the first wave!
Yuwen Dao and others didn’t give Yang Zhun and the twelve any time to react. Right after launching the first crossbow arrow, a second one was already loaded onto the crossbow mechanism.
Boom... Boom... Boom...
Just after repelling the first wave of arrows, Yang Zhun and others began to face the baptism of the second wave of crossbow arrows.
The third wave, fourth wave, fifth wave...
By the sixth wave, Yuwen Dao deliberately staggered the firing times, dividing the twenty Divine Machine Crossbows into two teams, letting Luo Yuan handle the second team, as the twenty crossbows alternately shot into the sky continuously.
"Block them, we must go down and destroy those twenty Divine Machine Crossbows!"
"Army listen up! Encircle anyone who dares to come down."
Xia Chuan’s voice was almost synchronized with Shangguan Yang’s.
After he issued the command, thirty thousand soldiers uniformly emerged from the barracks building north of the Ministry Building, all clad in Lei Kui Golden Armor, holding standard blades, swiftly surrounding the twenty Divine Machine Crossbows tightly.
The front five thousand soldiers, put down their weapons, took strong bows from behind them, loaded silver sharp arrows one by one, directly drew the bowstrings fully, aimed at the twelve people in mid-air but did not release the arrows.
"Old Lord Shangguan, why don’t you try being the first to come down?"
Upon hearing Xia Chuan’s ridicule, Shangguan Yang’s face instantly flushed red. Although fury surged within him, he could only continuously swing his cyan twin sabers to deflect the silver giant arrows shooting at him, unable even to respond to Xia Chuan.
Shangguan Yang was like this, and the situation for the other 11 Xianyang Level warriors was no better.
The crossbow arrows shot by Great Xia were simply too powerful!
It could be seen that warriors like Yang Zhun, Qin Feng, Shangguan Yang, and other Six Towns Lords could easily deal with these arrows; whether blocking or evading posed no real issue.
But warriors like Yang Fa, Mu Longhe, Shangguan Long, Ye Tianhao, whose strength was only between 4 to 9 Jun, found it difficult even to dodge these arrows, let alone block them with their own strength.
As a result, they only had two options.
Either turn around and flee; or rely on Yang Zhun and others to help block.
The problem is, what was the purpose of the Six Towns coming together today?
In front of over ten thousand Cold Resistance levels and tens of thousands of Earth-digging Realm warriors in South City, under the eyes of the crowd, they couldn’t even think of escaping. Any form of retreat today would turn the Six Towns into a laughing stock in Moao South Slope.
Thus, they kept slashing at Great Xia’s crossbow arrows in mid-air. Occasionally, Yang Zhun, Qin Feng, and Shangguan Yang, who were stronger, tried to rush down, only to abandon the thought as they looked down at the mass of tens of thousands of soldiers below.
The strength of Xianyang Level warriors is indeed formidable, but certainly not omnipotent!
Great Xia gathered an army of thirty thousand below, with no fewer than seven to eight thousand Cold Resistance levels. Even slightly descending, the front row of five thousand drawing arrows is enough to pose a significant threat.
Thus, the powerful Six Towns Lords, who came in unison, found themselves in an immensely awkward and embarrassing predicament.
Neither able to flee nor stay without becoming targets!
The crux is that whatever choice they make, they would surely end up as a joke to the tens of thousands in South City.
This awkward and embarrassing situation nearly caused Yang Zhun’s chest to explode with fury. Looking down at Xia Chuan in front of the Ministry Building, the fire in his pupils burned even hotter.
"Big brother, calm down! Xia Hong hasn’t appeared yet."
Noticing Yang Zhun’s growing rage, Yang Fa couldn’t help but utter a reminder, which slightly halted the extreme anger of Qin Feng and Shangguan Yang, quickly dismissing the thought of rushing down.
"What’s this about? Great Xia doesn’t need Xia Hong’s presence, just relying on crossbow arrows, they can block the Six Towns?"
