Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 172 - 170: Vajra Ballista
"The city is already in chaos."
Gon Lang glanced back!
Zheng Yiming took a deep breath and said coldly, "Men! Suppress the chaos in the city, maintain order!"
"Yes!"
"Surrendering, surrendering is absolutely impossible!"
"Even if the city falls and the royal mansion is lost!"
Zheng Yiming gritted his teeth, spitting out each word, his voice resounding like steel striking stone!
This was not just a matter of personal life and death, it was also about the honor of the Zheng Clan and King Beixuan!
Gon Lang sighed and said nothing more.
A day passed in the blink of an eye!
The next day.
Under Xu Yang’s watchful gaze, a protective barrier rose over Beixuan City!
The Barbarian army naturally saw this scene as well, and a stream of messages rapidly entered the command tent!
"Attack!"
Tuoba Hongyu, as if expecting this, calmly gave the order.
The army dispersed.
Then, massive golden crossbow carts lined up in a row!
On the walls, those who witnessed this scene turned pale with terror!
"Diamond Giant Crossbows!"
"They actually brought so many Diamond Giant Crossbows! It’s over!"
Zheng Yiming’s face turned ashen white.
The Diamond Giant Crossbow was the Barbarian army’s siege weapon!
At the very least, it had to be activated by a Martial Artist in the Yang Realm, and its crossbow bolts were specially crafted, unimaginably sharp!
When filled with energy and wielded by a Myriad Phenomena Realm Martial Artist, its explosive power was utterly terrifying!
At this moment, though the protection over Beixuan City was strong, faced with the Barbarian army’s formation before them, it was unlikely to last long!
Barbarian powerhouses stood behind the Diamond Giant Crossbows, one after another.
Then, pills and Spirit Stones surged in!
Barbarian tattoos flared, spiritual brilliance dazzled, the crossbow bolts vibrated fiercely, radiating a suffocating aura of sharpness!
High above, Xu Yang’s eyes filled with shock!
"Diamond Giant Crossbows!"
"The Barbarians are ruthless!"
He naturally knew of these weapons.
Before, the Barbarians rarely used them; there were seldom occasions to deploy such might.
But he still knew of their power and renown!
Now, so many Diamond Giant Crossbows, and a great number of Myriad Phenomena Realm powerhouses as well.
Beixuan City couldn’t possibly hold!
Xu Yang took a deep breath, casting away stray thoughts.
He couldn’t afford to care about anything else!
"Release!"
The piercing command thundered out!
Thud! Thud! Thud!!
Thick golden giant crossbow bolts shot out in torrents, churning up sky-covering waves, piercing through the heavens and earth—like thunder erupting from nowhere, whistling and shaking everything to its core!
Even separated by the barrier, the Martial Artists within Beixuan City felt their eardrums burst with the noise!
Boom!
Rumble!!
One by one, the giant crossbow bolts shattered against the barrier, yet new bolts followed unceasingly, an unbroken barrage!
At the same time.
Xu Yang moved as well.
He silently crept to a corner at the foot of the mountain beside Beixuan City, waiting for his moment.
Roughly half an hour passed.
The barrier trembled unendingly, finally reaching its limit—it started to crack with fine, spiderweb-like fissures rapidly spreading!
The instant it reached its breaking point, with a single deafening boom—
The barrier shattered into pieces!
On the city walls, a shout erupted.
"Release!"
Countless crossbow bolts transformed into a sky-darkening rain, sweeping over the Barbarian army.
The Barbarian soldiers, fearless and frenzied, charged in with wild excitement, a tide of madness!
"Stubborn resistance is meaningless!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
A sneer drowned out all chaos, echoing throughout Beixuan City.
A towering figure rose into the sky on empty air.
Zheng Yiming’s pupils contracted sharply.
"The First Grand General!"
The most powerful Grand General among the Barbarian ranks!
Swish!
Another figure appeared at the First Grand General’s side.
"The Barbarians’ High Priest!"
Zheng Yiming trembled all over, suddenly turning to roar, "Now! It’s now!"
Before his shout faded—
A terrifying force erupted from the royal mansion, shooting up skyward.
Golden spiritual light, carrying boundless spirit patterns, exploded from the heart of Beixuan City, surging like a flood to shroud the entire city!
A golden seal hovered in midair, radiating an indescribable power!
Countless Martial Artists within the city became mentally still beneath this might!
"That’s the Qian King’s Seal?"
Xu Yang’s scalp prickled with terror.
This aura gave him a fear dozens of times stronger than that from the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant!
This was only two or three tenths of its strength unleashed!
Just as expected of the supreme treasure with which Daqian established its rule over the Seven Provinces and Three Realms!
The Barbarians’ First Grand General and High Priest had clearly foreseen this, sharing a smile before vanishing on the spot.
Rumble!!
Their terrifying attacks instantly hammered against the shield raised by the Qian King’s Seal.
The sun and moon lost light; heaven and earth twisted!
The scattered shockwaves turned into storms ravaging the world.
Even separated by the barrier, Martial Artists of the Myriad Phenomena Realm were gripped by terror!
If such power fell, even ordinary Myriad Phenomena Realms couldn’t withstand it!
The First Grand General and the High Priest—these were the apex Barbarian powerhouses, at the very peak of the Realm of Myriad Phenomena!
It looked like just two people, but their combined force was more astounding than the clash of thousands of troops!
Xu Yang was shaken to his core, every hair standing on end!
The barrier trembled incessantly, its light growing ever dimmer.
Zheng Yiming’s face was full of grief, muttering, "Go, all who can go, just go!"
"As many as can escape, let them escape!"
Inside the royal mansion, sighs echoed endlessly!
No way to resist!
Some could flee, but others—better to die fighting than leave!
At a certain moment—
Crack!
The crisp noise crashed into everyone’s heart like a death knell sounded by the reaper.
Pairs of eyes looked up to the cracked barrier above, their gazes filled with boundless despair!
The barrier was broken!
Boom!
The Barbarian army surged in like a tidal wave.
Beixuan City shook, and the city gates were struck as if by lightning!
At the same time—
Xu Yang moved as well.
Like a wraith, taking advantage of the storm’s residual chaos, he slipped quietly into the city from an unguarded side.
Cloaked and hooded, he blended among the panicked, scattered crowds.
No one would have guessed, at this moment when all others fled, he would enter Beixuan City!
Xu Yang darted like lightning to the side of the royal mansion.
Inside, the royal mansion was dead calm, a world apart from the chaos of Beixuan City beyond.
"Wait a little longer."
Xu Yang was tense to the extreme.
He absolutely could not be discovered!
If he was exposed, he’d never escape!
Tuoba Hongyu would pounce on him like a starved wolf!
In less than half a quarter hour—
The Barbarian army charged into the city.
One mighty powerhouse after another began their brutal slaughter!
Inside the royal mansion, at last, there was movement.
Fontains of terrifying auras awoke from deep slumber, soaring to the sky!
In this instant, all of Beixuan City became a battlefield!
"It’s time!"
Xu Yang’s face lit with joy as he quietly slipped into the royal mansion!
