Chapter 725: Chapter 226 Beiliang King_5
"Where is the Heavenly Book Array?"
Cautiously, Ling Yun said, "If Chen Sansi brings out the Heavenly Book Array, we too need to have a way to respond accordingly." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"We can’t rush this."
Dao Xuan Wanderer said, "Preparing a large-scale Heavenly Book army Formation requires an immense amount of Array Flags and Spirit Stones among other materials. These things are all requested from our Sect, and while we have enough, I still need to imbue each one with Enlightenment. Once my ’Eight Gates Golden Lock Immortal Trapping Formation’ succeeds, we can then try to encircle and kill Chen Sansi. Until then, defending the city will suffice."
The formations within the Heavenly Book often require thousands or even tens of thousands of people and are simply not something a solitary Cultivator can bear the cost of, but for a Sect, it represents a considerable expense as well.
I really have no idea what kind of magical artifact Chen Sansi has in his hands and what power he uses to circumvent the Spiritual Energy provided by Spirit Stones and activate the great array without any cost. The more I think about it, the more unbelievable it seems!
"Ooom Rumble!"
While they conversed, the city suddenly trembled. They could now see, in the distance, the vast white land gradually engulfed by a wave of pitch-black tide—the soldiers of the Beiliang Army.
"Thud Thud Thud!"
Within Chunqiu Prefecture, which had long been prepared, the battle drums resounded. All soldiers from the Central Plains grabbed their weapons and waited in strict formation atop the city walls.
At this moment, although the sound of war drums and galloping horses was incessant, in the perceptions of both enemies and allies, it was as though everything were eerily quiet, filled with unbearable tension—as if an invisible force in the void continued until the army flags of both sides waved simultaneously, and then the pent-up force exploded.
"Crossbowmen!"
"Fire!"
"Catapults!"
"..."
The battle was on the verge of breaking out!
Like a torrential downpour, arrows arced through the sky, only to be blocked by the shielded frontline troops and siege engines of the Beiliang Army. Boulders launched from the rear of the Beiliang troops, like small mountains, kept crashing down on Chunqiu Prefecture.
However, at the instant the boulders fell, thin golden barriers suddenly lit up atop the walls of Chunqiu Prefecture, protecting the entire city within them.
"Boom Rumble—"
The boulders exploded into fragments, but the city walls remained unscathed.
Subsequent Fire Arrows, the first arriving Siege Carriages, and the like met the same fate—no matter how they bombarded, they were effortlessly repelled by the golden barriers, unable to inflict any real damage to the city walls themselves.
Chunqiu Prefecture stood amidst the swirling snowflakes, shimmering with golden light, truly as impregnable as a fortress of gold!
"It’s an Array!"
Wei Xuan immediately recognized, "It seems there’s still an Array Master within the city."
He promptly raised his Giant Blade high, indicating to his brothers behind to slow down the pace of their assault.
Within the overwhelming tide, a lone white figure surged forward, turning into an afterimage heading straight for the city, closing the distance of five hundred paces in the blink of an eye. With a flash of spirit light, he now held a golden Big Bow in his hands, inscribed with mysterious runes. As he drew the bowstring, it hummed "Ooom Rumble," and the whirling snow around him gathered into a vortex at his front.
Prince Cao Rong had long known that the man in the white robe was skilled with the bow and arrow, but what was eerie was that he didn’t see any arrow in the man’s hand or on the bowstring, which appeared empty from a distance.
"Whizz—"
At last.
The taut bowstring returned to its place.
In front of the man in the white robe, True Power surged in layers, and the long-accumulated blizzard storm burst forth suddenly. After shooting out more than a dozen paces, the storm of snow quickly melted into ice water and then turned into steam under the intense heat. Suddenly, a red fire dragon burst out, carrying a wave of overwhelming force, arriving above the city walls in an instant!
Prince Cao Rong had already been waiting for a long time. His Reverse Breathing Technique unfolded, and the lower Eight Scenic Gods within his body awakened one after another. His Bladeless Broadsword, amidst the vast expanse of snow, blossomed with a dense Killing Aura.
Killing Aura!
Originally, he practiced the Gold Element Breathing Method, which should have produced Gold Element True Power. However, due to a fortuitous mistake, it transformed into Killing Aura True Power, but because of this, the contained power surpassed that of the normal True Power Early Stage. With one slash, he cleared a sunny void in the thick snow curtain, then collided fiercely with the fire dragon.
After a momentary standstill, the fire dragon collapsed, but within it there was a Silver Bullet the size of a walnut, its surface runes lighting up one after another, then exploding with a tsunami-like Spiritual Power.
Golden Bow and Silver Bullet!
"Whoom Boom!"
Prince Cao Rong was forcefully shaken back half a step.
At the same time.
Chen Sansi, with the divine speed of his steed, had already charged to the gates of the city.
The warhorse neighed!
He spurred his white steed into a high leap, reaching several zhang up mid-air, and within an instant, he stowed Qian Xun into his storage bag, swapping it with a Flying Artifact underfoot, turning the Golden Bow and Silver Bullet into a Longdan Bright Silver Spear.
One spear thrust forward!
Blazing flames roared fiercely like the midday sun!
Prince Cao Rong, undaunted and roaring, lifted his Bladeless Broadsword to smash down, the rolling Killing Aura like a black mountain’s peak.
"Boom—"
The collision caused True Power to surge outward, blowing away soldiers dozens of steps away.
But at the same time.
The other three also converged from various directions.
Ling Yun, from the family of Martial Arts, held a Soft Sword in his hand. With the enhancement of the Water Element Breathing Technique, the sword, originally made of metal, turned completely soft like water, retaining toughness within its suppleness, striking the long spear.
Water and fire are incompatible, neutralizing each other, and white smoke quickly enveloped an area of several zhang.
