Chapter 972 The Enemy is at the Gates
They were very curious as to why Qu Heng, the city lord of Lüyuan City, would be so biased towards the Tang Clan.
In their view, this city lord Qu Heng should not have broken through to the title of Douluo yet, so why doesn't he dare to oppose them?
But what they were encountering now was somewhat unbelievable.
"Has this guy broken through to a higher level? We can no longer sense his presence."
Hongzhi, who was standing to the side, frowned, vaguely guessing what was going on.
"What? This is a very low-probability event. You think breaking through to the Title Douluo level is that easy!"
"But it's not impossible, so let's be careful!"
Liu Yan was also skeptical, but being cautious by nature, she subconsciously felt she should proceed with care.
So Chu Xiong continued, "Brother Qu Heng, we must have had drinks together last time, right? We can be considered friends, after all."
"Our three forces have no intention of being enemies with the Heavenly Soul Empire. We are only here for the sake of the Tang Sect. Please do us a favor."
"Once the matter is settled, we will certainly pay a visit with generous gifts."
These words were spoken very politely, clearly giving Qu Heng ample face.
But Qu Heng remained unmoved and instead waved his hand.
In an instant, a large number of archers who had been waiting on the city wall raised their arrows and aimed at the three people below.
The unified sound gathered in the night sky, creating a heavy, chilling atmosphere.
Upon seeing this, Chu Xiong and the other two's faces darkened. They couldn't fathom what kind of benefits the Tang Clan had given this guy.
Amazed that he would protect the Tang Clan so fiercely.
This time, Chu Xiong's fiery temper completely erupted. Pointing at Qu Heng on the city wall, he said, "Qu Heng, don't be ungrateful!"
"We're being very polite by speaking to you like this. If you don't open the door today, we'll storm in."
"Be careful not to anger us, or we'll kill you all too."
"We do not want to be enemies with the Heavenly Soul Empire, but we are equally unafraid to go to war with you."
"Do you think the Heavenly Soul Empire of today is the same empire as before?"
"The royal family is now fighting tooth and nail for power, and the so-called Heavenly Soul Empire is nothing but an empty shell."
Chu Xiong's voice resounded throughout the surroundings. Although his words were not pleasant to hear, they were the truth.
However, Qu Heng also had his own principles that he had to adhere to, and he said, "Prepare the Soul-Guided Crossbow!"
The next second, another group of soldiers wielding special weapons appeared on the city wall.
In their hands were strange square boxes, their surfaces a dull metallic color, inconspicuous in the darkness.
It is worth mentioning, however, that all of these Soul Masters wielding Soul Guide Crossbows were at least Soul King level.
Fifty people, fifty soul-guided crossbows, were all in place, aimed at the three people below.
At the same time, a strange disc appeared on the city wall; this black disc looked like a giant millstone.
The intricate inscriptions and patterns on it were also lent by Tang Lan to Lü Yuancheng to defend against foreign enemies.
As black light shone from the giant millstone, a gray light curtain completely enveloped Lü Yuancheng.
"Hmph, they're really courting death!"
"I'll show you the price of angering a Title Douluo!"
Chu Xiong was furious. He felt that he had been looked down upon by a group of low-level Soul Masters who were only around level 50.
The moment he finished speaking, Chu Xiong had already rushed to the front of the light barrier in a few flashes, and then threw a powerful punch.
Kuang————
The terrifying roar echoed all around, and even Chu Xiong, who was momentarily disoriented, stumbled back two steps before regaining his footing.
He hadn't expected the gray light curtain to be so sturdy.
"Release the arrows!"
The battle was about to break out. With Qu Heng's command, arrows from the city wall rained down on the three of them.
"Everyone, retreat!"
Hongzhi let out a low roar, and then suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura.
Nine spirit rings continuously circled around him, and then the fourth spirit ring lit up.
Suddenly, a purple bamboo flute appeared in the man's hand, and he immediately began to play a melodious tune.
As the sound of the flute began, the surrounding space immediately started to ripple like water.
The rain of arrows that filled the sky stopped abruptly when they touched a ten-zhang radius around Hongzhi.
The three factions of soul masters behind him only reacted at this moment and began to retreat.
call out----
Just then, an arrow suddenly broke through the control of the flute's ripples and shot straight towards Hongzhi's face.
The latest novel is first published here!
"what?"
Upon seeing this, even Hongzhi exclaimed in surprise.
He instinctively reached out and grabbed it, and after seeing what it looked like, he heard a loud bang.
That's right, this soul power arrow exploded; even if it was blocked, it still generated terrifying explosive power.
shhhhh~~~
But before they could think about the composition of this thing, a barrage of soul power arrows rushed towards them.
"Break it!!"
Chu Xiong roared and threw out his right fist.
In an instant, a massive fist of soul power condensed and shattered all the arrows in front of it with a single punch.
Meanwhile, Liu Yan's figure on the other side began to slowly become ethereal.
The arrows passed right through her body, causing her no harm whatsoever.
"ah!!"
Due to the sheer number of arrows raining down, despite the large number of powerful figures on the three sides, they were unable to withstand the onslaught, and people began to be injured or even killed.
"Watch me!"
Seeing this, Chu Xiong was completely enraged.
A huge phantom of a martial spirit appeared around him, and he recklessly charged towards the gray light screen in front of him, throwing a series of punches.
The light on the large screen kept flashing, but there was no sign of it collapsing.
Qu Heng, standing atop the city tower, was equally delighted to see this scene.
He hadn't expected that the soul tool Tang Lan had given him would be so powerful; even a Title Douluo couldn't break through it in a short time.
Thinking about this, Qu Heng even began to ponder how to get this thing back from Tang Lan.
At the same time, he was also very interested in the Soul Guide Crossbow, because this thing did not require loading arrows at all, but rather required the Soul Master to inject Soul Power into it.
In theory, as long as a Soul Master has enough Soul Power, they can continuously condense Soul Power arrows to attack enemies.
What's even more alarming is that this thing doesn't consume much soul power; it simply compresses soul power infinitely into an extremely thin arrow.
If this soul-guided crossbow were made into an enlarged version,
Similar in size to a city-defense crossbow, Qu Heng could hardly imagine just how terrifying its power was.
However, these are just thoughts; he has a very deep understanding of Tang Lan.
Knowing that Tang Lan was a man who wouldn't act without a benefit, he would never have given Lü Yuancheng so many new-type soul tools without offering equivalent benefits.
Now Qu Heng finally understood what Tang Lan meant when she left: "They can't get in!" (End of Chapter)
