Chapter 390: Chapter 389: Dragon Shooting Crossbow

Boom!

Within Nanning Pass, a mighty roar shook the heavens.

Li Xiao, desperate at this time, ran from the command tent just in time to see Lin Bai manning a City-Destroying Cannon, frantically shattering other City-Destroying Cannons one by one.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiao was on the brink of madness.

He gaped at the once bustling plaza.

"Nanning Pass houses a million-strong army, patrolling around the clock. How did he get in!"

"Could it be that this man’s Martial Soul is a mouse, capable of digging tunnels?"

"It’s over, it’s all over now. Once His Highness learns about the destruction of so many City-Destroying Cannons, he’ll surely flay me alive."

Li Xiao could hardly express his suffering as he watched each City-Destroying Cannon being destroyed.

"The tenth one!"

"..."

"Twenty!"

"The twenty-first one!"

"The twenty-second one!"

"Hahaha, so exhilarating, it’s too exhilarating."

Lin Bai laughed uproariously with delight. The destructive power of these City-Destroying Cannons was so terrifyingly strong. Each shot destabilized heaven and earth.

These city walls, the soldiers of the City-Destroying Cannon Legion, seemed as though they were made of paper. They had no resistance at all - at the blast of the cannons, they turned to ashes and vanished.

"Huh? The count is off."

Lin Bai suddenly regained his senses, and exclaimed in surprise, "I’ve destroyed twenty-two City-Destroying Cannons in total, plus the one that I’m currently manning. That makes twenty-three. Where are the other two?"

Lin Bai carefully counted again. The numbers didn’t add up.

The First Princess has said Tuoba Feng brought twenty-five City-Destroying Cannons.

But here there were only twenty-three. Where were the other two?

"Charge! Kill him!"

"Capture him alive, and be rewarded with 500,000 Spirit Stones!"

"Kill him and be rewarded with 300,000 Spirit Stones!"

"I pay for heads, not people!"

Li Xiao rushed over, shouting out his anger.

At this moment, the entire garrison in Nanning Pass was alerted. Hundreds of thousands of the grand army, like a surging flood, were rushing towards the plaza.

"Kill!"

"Charge!"

"Kill!"

With cries for battle shaking the heavens, Lin Bai stood upon the City-Destroying Cannon. He looked down to see countless soldiers rushing forward like a swarm of ants.

Seeing this made Lin Bai shiver.

"No, I can’t stay any longer. If I stay, I fear that I won’t be able to leave."

Lin Bai steeled himself. He couldn’t afford to search for the other two City-Destroying Cannons now.

"Feng Lei Divine Wings."

Wings of purple and green spread out behind Lin Bai.

"Go!"

As the Feng Lei Divine Wings unfolded, Lin Bai shot straight up into the sky.

When he was about a hundred meters high in the sky, Lin Bai whipped his head around, and a terrifying force erupted from the Qingge Sword. A Sword Qi angrily chopped down.

"Divine Power! Wind-Slaying!"

Lin Bai roared out in anger.

A Sword Qi descended from the sky, striking the City-Destroying Cannon that Lin Bai had just been manning.

Boom!

The City-Destroying Cannon, struck by the sharp Sword Qi from Lin Bai was split into two halves.

Lin Bai watched as his Sword Qi destroyed the City-Destroying Cannon, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes: "Dammit, if only I could take one away. Unfortunately, this City-Destroying Cannon is made using an ancient secret skill and can’t be put into the Storage Bag."

"Dammit, he can actually fly."

Li Xiao screamed in shock.

"Call...bring the Bow and Crossbow Unit over!"

Li Xiao shouted again.

Immediately, tens of thousands of warriors, bows and crossbows in hand, lined up in formation.

The Bow and Crossbow Unit took their positions and nocked their arrows.

Li Xiao roared out, "Fire!"

Arrows shot into the sky like a torrential downpour, their momentum so powerful that it seemed they would pierce through the gods beyond the heavens.

Just after Lin Bai had barely taken to the sky and shattered the City-Destroying Cannon, he felt a storm of arrows swiftly approaching.

Instantly, he flicked his sword and diverted the incoming swarm of arrows.

Afterward, Lin Bai didn’t hesitate to fly away.

With an army of hundreds of thousands stationed here, if Lin Bai were stopped, it was unlikely that he could escape death even if he had nine lives.

"Damn it! They’re trying to escape!"

"Somebody, ready the Dragon Shooting Crossbow!"

Another loud cry erupted from Li Xiao.

Instantly, the Bow and Crossbow Unit adjusted swiftly, and nine gigantic crossbows were brought forward.

These nine crossbows, about thirty meters long and ten meters wide, were constructed with the tendons and bones of Demon Beasts, with each arrow being a long spear - a Fourth-grade Spirit Weapon!

Such crossbow bolts were deliberately made to fight against airborne forces and possessed enough strength to challenge the heavens.

"Fire!"

Once the Dragon Shooting Crossbow was primed and aimed at Lin Bai, Li Xiao roared instantly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Nine fiercely terrifying whistling sounds were heard.

All of a sudden, Lin Bai felt a spine-chilling aura from behind him, and his back was drenched with cold sweat, his hairs stood on end.

Lin Bai turned his head back in alarm, only to see nine arrows, the size of spears, shooting towards him, with each one carrying a power capable of bringing down divine demons!

"This is bad!"

Lin Bai screamed. He could feel a shadow of death looming over him from these crossbow bolts!

"Sword Intention! Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!"

"Gentle Sword!"

"Divine Power! Wind-Slaying!"

Lin Bai turned around calmly, his Qingge sword shining with a heaven-reaching gleam, and he swinged it downward with a fury.

Three fierce sword Qi’s tore through the sky, creating a deafening blast.

The sky lost its colors under the three swords, and the sun and the moon suddenly lost their light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three Sword Qi’s descended and collided with the nine incoming bolts.

An explosion occurred instantaneously, the earth-shattering sounds spread in all directions.

With three mighty strokes, Lin Bai shattered the nine incoming arrows, but one managed to break through Lin Bai’s offense and arrived right before him in an instant.

"Silver War Body!"

Feeling the shadow of death approaching, a milky white glow condensed on Lin Bai’s body.

Thud!

At that very moment, the crossbow bolt arrived, hitting Lin Bai’s abdomen making a hole through it.

The powerful force shot Lin Bai from the sky directly onto the ground.

Li Xiao cheered wildly: "We hit him! Men, charge! Hack him to death!"

Li Xiao began laughing maniacally.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Millions of soldiers rushed towards the place where Lin Bai had fallen, overwhelming and ferocious as tigers.

"Prince Consort, we’re coming."

"Dragon Hawk Legion, cover us with arrows!"

Chu Jiangliu suddenly made his move at this moment.

Tens of thousands from the Dragon Hawk Legion appeared from the top of the clouds.

"Kill!" Tens of thousands of men descended from the sky, riding the mighty dragon hawks, swooping down.

The dragon hawks screeched, crazily clamoring.

Li Xiao turned his head and scoffed, "A mere ten thousand men, how can they stand against my million-strong army! Bow and Crossbow Unit, bring down all these dragon hawks for me."

"Yes, sir!"

The Bow and Crossbow Unit drew their bows and arrows once again, firing them into the sky.

"Fire your arrows!" Chu Jiangliu also roared at this moment.

The soldiers of the Dragon Hawk Legion were not only proficient with various weapons, but they were best at archery.

Arrows rained down from the sky, as though carrying the force of a thousand tons, hitting the soldiers of the City-Destroying Cannon Legion.

Screams echoed everywhere.

The two armies exchanged fire, instantly causing more than half of the casualties.

At this moment, Chu Jiangliu rode on a Dragon Hawk and, swooping down at a high speed, managed to catch the constantly falling Lin Bai.

At this moment, Lin Bai had an arrow as long as a spear penetrating through his abdomen, from front to back, gushing out blood.

"Damn it!"

Chu Jiangliu let out a furious roar as he held Lin Bai, and rode the Dragon Hawk away.

"Retreat!"

Chu Jiangliu let out another furious roar.

Tens of thousands of the Dragon Hawk Legion rushed past overhead.

In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Hawk Legion disappeared from the sky.

Unrestrainable fury burnt in Li Xiao’s eyes:"Light cavalry and Bow and Crossbow Units, follow me, we must annihilate them around Nanning Pass.

"Go!"

Immediately, Li Xiao led the City-Destroying Cannon’s light cavalry and the Bow and Crossbow Unit and set off in pursuit.
