Chapter 600 - 245: Blocking the Gate? Not Anymore_3
"What... what’s the old turtle doing?"
...
After crossing the Luo River Crossing Ruins Market, heading south, the tribes along the way grew in number, and human martial artist silhouettes appeared continuously along the route.
These people either stared in astonishment at the passing old turtle or scrambled back to their tribe like frightened beasts.
Most of the tribes along the way were as silent as cicadas in winter, with some even directly offering tributes.
Unfortunately, the old turtle didn’t even glance at them, heading straight for the target: the Bi Fang Bo Division.
...
Bi Fang Bo Division.
The Lord Bi Fang, who went to the Jishan Clan Land to seek Jishan Bo Division to mediate, had already returned.
He stayed in the Jishan Clan Land for a long time without meeting Lord Jishan.
Over the years, Blazing Flame Bo Division had been sealed within the mountains by the Holy Envoy Race, gradually easing Lord Bi Fang’s anxiety and fear.
Outside the Bi Fang Clan City, prosperity revived once again, with caravans coming and going from all directions, bringing various ores and taking away all kinds of weapons.
There’s no choice; the resources within the Bi Fang race were all gone, and they still didn’t know who took them. If they didn’t start production again, they wouldn’t even have food to eat.
For this, the price of Tier Two Witch Weapons increased by 20%, and Tier Three prices rose by 30% to 50%.
On this day, the earth outside the Bi Fang Ruins Market City roared, instantly drawing the attention of the martial artists in the city.
However, many weren’t afraid, as news of the Old Profound Turtle’s journey over mountains and hills had spread long before.
The travel route of the Old Turtle was known to head directly to Bi Fang, which had already been predicted by many.
Moreover, during the Old Turtle’s journey, the Blazing Flame Bo Division had already released the news that this trip was for the Bi Fang Bo Division, unrelated individuals must leave in advance or be regarded as allies of Bi Fang Bo Division.
Hence, starting several days ago, the number of people in the ruins market had decreased by more than half. Those who remained were unable to leave, having already paid for ores and were waiting for Bi Fang to exchange for witch weapons.
In order to enter the Bi Fang Bo Division, one must first pass through the Bi Fang Ruins Market, the Old Profound Turtle approached the market step by step with smoke and dust billowing everywhere.
Rumble!
One after another, Witch Bans like electric lights fell from the edge of the turtle shell, stirring up gusts of wind.
"Today, I am only looking for trouble with the Bi Fang division. Non-Bi Fang martial artists leave now."
"Those who do not leave will be treated as being in cahoots with Bi Fang."
From a distance, the Old Profound Turtle spoke, his booming voice resonating across ten miles, shaking the Bi Fang Ruins Market and penetrating the Bi Fang Clan Land behind it.
After his words were spoken, the Old Profound Turtle continued to march forward, each step causing the earth for dozens of miles around to rumble loudly, intense blood energy billowing into waves, crashing towards the market.
At this, many figures fled from the market, heading to all directions.
They only came to trade for weapons; it wasn’t worth sacrificing their lives here.
The aura on the giant turtle’s body was too terrifying, the sound was like thunder crashing into their hearts.
Better run first, lest the city gate catches fire and it affects the fish in the pond.
At this moment, numerous flying ships flew out from the market city, and a large number of cavalry galloped out from the market.
These cavalry rode war beasts of formidable size, their knights also donned in heavy armor.
Thus, from the air and ground, they charged stridently towards the Old Turtle.
"Elder, what is this thing? Can we break through its defense?"
On a flying ship, the clansmen of Bi Fang Bo Division, looking at the gigantic Old Turtle, were panicked.
They had never seen such a giant turtle before.
Their flying ships were as small as children in front of it.
Ping!
From afar, giant arrows and witch lights continuously fired from the flying ships of Bi Fang Bo Division, beginning the attack.
Atop the high tower in the middle of Turtle City, Huo Shan glanced at the sky; there were over a dozen floating Holy Envoy Race entities.
Nevertheless, none dared to lower their flying heights or slightly approach the Old Turtle.
Since the Holy Envoy Race dared not descend, he began to work.
"Prepare witch cannons."
"Use Tier Four Witch Bullets!"
Upon hearing the order, the messenger hurried through the secret passage towards the city wall’s witch cannon location.
The clansmen who received the order immediately fetched a jade box from the ammunition storage warehouse, having the wizard first break the spirit ban seal before opening the box.
Inside appeared an Earth Ant Pill glowing with a muddy yellow, its surface covered with witch rune spirit bans.
It was placed in the jade box because this Earth Ant Shell was rather unstable.
Special techniques within the clan combined multiple Earth Ant Pills into one and added extra source stone energy, using artifact refining methods to enhance its power.
As the specially-made Tier Four Witch Bullet loaded into the witch cannon, countless Five Elements Witch Runes glittered on the cannon integrated with the city.
"Fire!"
Boom boom boom boom!
One hundred and eight witch cannons roared fiercely, intense energy blossoming on the back of the Old Turtle, fireballs soaring into the sky.
The shells fell among the cavalry, and the firelight erupted like a volcano. Nearby charging cavalry were instantly scorched to ashes by the hot waves, and slightly farther ones, both man and beast, were ripped into pieces, their limbs scattered in all directions.
In mid-air, a flying ship exploded into a flower of flame, falling into pieces, with many people engulfed in flames, screaming as they crashed to the ground.
Within the ruins market, a mass of intense flames surged, sweeping away houses within thousands of feet around with the rising air waves.
But it wasn’t over yet, more explosions resounded.
At once, the area from ahead of the Old Turtle to the Bi Fang Clan Land, appeared to undergo an earthquake.
Fireballs surged skywards, air waves swept in all directions, figures immediately incinerated within the energy of the flames.
After the first round of bombardment, attacks did not cease, witch cannons roared continuously, flying ships of Bi Fang Bo Division were relentlessly hit, crashing from the sky.
Fire erupted from sky to ground.
Two Divine Treasure Martial Artists of Bi Fang Division bypassed the ruins market rushing towards the Old Turtle.
At this moment, the trailing Xuan Qii warbled, seemingly sensing an opportunity.
More than a dozen Holy Envoy Race martial artists immediately dove from high altitude, whipping up a gale, assaulting Turtle City.
Buzz!
In an instant, millions of witch runes illuminated atop the city, with a nine-palace pattern shining brightly on the Turtle Shell.
Witch runes and the nine-palace pattern merged into one, instantly transforming into a defense grand array covering Turtle City.
Simultaneously, the metallic rooftops in Turtle City were pushed open, revealing giant crossbows glinting with cold light.
Not just one, but arranged in ten vertical rows.
All these giant crossbows were aiming skywards, while the incoming elders of Bi Fang Bo Division were to be dealt with by the tower-launched giant crossbows.
Rumble!
A hail of arrows shot upwards from Turtle City.
As the giant arrows pierced the skies, their tails dragged long streaks of light, with witch runes lighting up at the ends.
Seeing the incoming skyful of arrows, the Holy Envoy Race martial artists, planning an ambush, instantly grew alarmed, began changing course, and urgently ascended.
Yet, in a flash, the giant arrows in the air exploded one after another.
Rumble! Rumble!
In an instant, within a height range of a thousand zhang above Turtle City, the exploding energy roared fiercely, ripples crashed against ripples, energy light waves surged across the sky.
Tweet tweet tweet!
Dire screams wailed incessantly, at once six unfortunate Holy Envoy entities were blasted through, their bodies pierced by the energy, screaming as they plummeted downward.
...
At this moment, within Bi Fang Clan Land, Ancestor Bi Fang and Lord Bi Fang glanced at the clan land, secretly heading towards the back mountain of the clan land without being noticed by their clansmen.
