Chapter 2510 - 2508: A Wudang Pass
Wu Song faced the golden alms bowl without fear, a slight smirk on his lips as he raised his hand to release a flash of yellow light.
The yellow light whooshed through the air, and with a swish, it struck the golden alms bowl.
With a loud bang, the golden alms bowl exploded, shattering into pieces that flew in all directions.
The might of the True Immortal swept across, stirring up dust all around.
The Roaring Sky Tiger King cried out in distress, "My magical treasure!"
Other Demon Kings exclaimed in shock, "This kid has a True Immortal Magic Treasure!"
Cheers of might echoed from the city walls!
Wu Zhi on the wall also excitedly shouted, "Almost forgot, my brother’s master is Iron Arm Immortal Zhou Tong, of course, he has magical treasures."
Wu Song withdrew that yellow light, holding it in his hand.
This object was shaped like an arrowhead, a golden arrowhead.
Zhou Tong was known as Iron Arm Immortal because of his exceptional archery skills. His arms were as if forged from iron, steady as a rock when drawing the bow and shooting arrows.
This arrowhead was given to Wu Song by Zhou Tong as a protective item, without giving him a complete bow and arrow set.
At critical moments, he could throw it like a dart.
The range was short but the power was immense, a True Immortal Level magical weapon.
He knew his disciple’s temperament was worrisome and feared Wu Song causing trouble, so he only gave Wu Song an arrowhead.
The Demon Kings of the Seventy-Two Mountains had high cultivation levels, but none could bring out such True Immortal Magic Treasures.
Wu Song stood before them, instilling a chill of fear in their hearts.
"Anyone else want to try? Are you demons such cowards, without anyone capable of a fight?"
Wu Song challenged.
The Demon Clan on the opposite side was no longer as before, all with their heads down, no one dared to come out and respond.
The Roaring Sky Tiger King held back his anger, saying, "We don’t need to bother with him, when the Black Dragon King arrives, this city will be ours."
The Demon Kings nodded together, they were here to gather numbers for the Roaring Sky Tiger, not really willing to risk their lives here.
The Black Dragon King was of True Immortal Cultivation Level, dealing with Wu Song would be like squashing an ant for him, they were not worried about a single night.
"A bunch of rats, daring to invade our Yang Valley Pass!"
Wu Song continued to taunt, but did not actively go out to attack.
The True Immortal Magic Treasure consumed too much Essential Qi when activated, usually, he didn’t dare to use it rashly.
He was a body cultivator, using Essential Qi to activate this magical treasure.
The Demon Clan was too far from him, even if he wanted to release the arrowhead, it wouldn’t reach.
The Demon Kings also saw this, no matter how he taunted, they stood still as if they hadn’t heard.
Just some loss of face, not enough to lose their magical treasures and lives.
This created a strange scene on the field, with millions of demon soldiers gathered, only attacking from a distance with catapults.
Wu Song stood alone in front of a million demon soldiers, none dared to provoke him.
Under the moonlight, Wu Song stood with a large knife in front of the city walls.
One man at the pass, ten thousand men cannot pass.
Only a few fire stones drew bright lines across the sky, crashing against the defensive barrier of the city walls.
Situation continued until dawn, the demon beasts ate whatever was available, unable to persist any longer.
Many demon beast clans began attacking each other, causing chaos at the rear.
A Demon General approached each Demon King to report urgently.
The Demon Kings discussed among themselves, anxious from waiting.
A Demon King asked, "Is the Black Dragon King coming or not?"
"We’ve been waiting here all night."
"If he doesn’t come, it would be betraying us brothers!"
"Impossible, since the Black Dragon King agreed, he will not go back on his word!"
The Roaring Sky Tiger King raised his hand to stop them, feeling stifled inside, "We’re here to wage war, it’s impossible without casualties. Tell the little ones to eat whatever they can. After eating, we’ll attack. Before the Black Dragon King arrives, let’s have a good fight."
The Demon Kings all agreed, continuing to wait was not an option.
On the city walls, the soldiers who had stayed up all night also began to start fires to prepare meals.
Due to the shortage of Spirit Stones, the defensive array had been pushed to its limits.
Wu Zhi observed the enemy, discussed with various leaders, and judged that the Demon Clan was about to launch a full-scale attack.
He urged everyone to eat quickly, intending to face the Demon Clan head-on.
Wu Song, who stood in front of the city wall all night, was now meditating in the hall to recuperate, replenishing Essential Qi.
Soon, he heard a series of roars, and the ground beneath him shook violently.
He grabbed his long knife and hurried outside.
On the city walls, soldiers with onions and pancakes in hand rushed back to their positions in a panic.
On the battlefield in front of the city walls, millions of demons surged like a dark tsunami, attacking the city walls from all directions.
Their speed was astonishing, each was a gigantic creature with tusks bared, roaring and howling continuously as they charged forward.
The soldiers defending the city, having never seen such a scene, couldn’t help but tremble, their bodies shivering with fear.
Commanders behind them shouted loudly, "Relax, stay focused. Our Yang Valley Pass City’s high walls are strong, they can’t break through!"
As the Demon Clan charged within a thousand meters, the commanders gave the order, "Archers, ready!"
The archers on the walls all drew their ox-horn bows.
In this world, even ordinary soldiers could shoot arrows over a distance of a thousand meters.
Once the demon beast herd was within this range, Wu Zhi’s right hand signaled down.
The Messenger’s command banner flapped, and commanders along the way drew their knives, shouting fiercely, "Release arrows!"
The walls hummed as arrows flew out, merging into a dense rain of arrows in the air, stabbing like a downpour into the demon beast herd below.
The massive momentum of the arrow rain carried immense force, piercing into the bodies of demon beasts with a thud.
Instantly, chaos erupted within the demon beast herd, toppling into a rolling, screaming mass as they stumbled forward.
The demon beasts from behind couldn’t stop, colliding with those fallen in front, tumbling and rolling over in waves.
The toughness of the demon beast hides was beyond Wu Zhi’s expectations.
At a thousand meters, the arrow rain only affected a small portion of the weaker demon beasts.
Those with tough hides and muscles rose from the ground, continuing to charge through the arrow rain, unfazed.
Wu Zhi knitted his brows and called out, "Catapults!"
The messengers on the walls quickly waved their command banners, shouting continuously, "Catapults!"
"Catapults!"
"Catapults!"
"..."
The already prepared catapults on the city walls were quickly loaded by soldiers with round stone balls.
These catapults, only a little over ten meters tall, were much smaller than the giant catapults used by the Demon Clan.
However, these stone balls were meticulously crafted.
Unlike the Demon Clan, which used whole stones to hurl up.
"Release!"
"Release!"
"Release!"
"..."
Soldiers poured black oil over the stone balls, lit them, and upon the commanders’ orders, launched them fiercely.
Along the hundred-mile-long city walls, a catapult was set every fifty meters.
From the walls, hundreds of flaming stone balls were hurled fiercely outward with each salvo.
The sky seemed to rain giant meteors, each over a hundred pounds, crashing down to the ground.
Thud, thud, thud, a series of loud crashes.
The ground exploded with dust, and unfortunate demon beasts hit directly were turned into a pulp.
The stone balls didn’t stop upon landing.
With inertia, they continued rolling forward fiercely, instantly carving out thousands of bloody paths within the charging demon herd.
At a range of a thousand meters, the catapults’ impact on the demon beasts was a hundred times stronger than that of the arrows.
In an instant, they swept through swathes of demon beasts, causing the Demon Kings to tremble with fear, cursing the Human Race for inventing such destructive weapons.
