Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 199 The Eight Bull Crossbow Appears
Upon seeing Lu Ming, Wu Han quickly said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

The other party nodded, indicating that he should rise. Then, led by a group of generals, he entered the city. The architecture of the Great Xia Dynasty was mainly rugged.

The streets were also paved with black stones.

The towering government office resembled a crouching behemoth.

Lu Ming entered and had just settled down.

Looking at Wu Han in front of him, he said, "Tell me about the current situation."

"Your Majesty, the Great Xia army has been stationed outside Obsidian City for two months. Recently, they have been clashing with us from time to time, and battles have occurred from time to time. However, overall, we have not been at a disadvantage."

Reinforcements from all the major sects are expected to arrive within two days!

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Ming raised an eyebrow.

"Two days, is that right? Then let's wait two days. We're not in a hurry." He was very confident about this battle.

The plan is to defeat the enemy head-on under everyone's watchful eyes.

At the very least, let the sects in the Eastern Region know that they are not to be trifled with.

Break free from the blockade of the seven major sects.

Although Dayu is currently self-sufficient, trade is indispensable for faster development.

It is unreasonable for the imperial court to continue earning silver through plundering.

Wu Han quickly replied, "Yes, sir!"

In fact, he had the same idea; it would be best to wait for the major sects to launch their attack.

Then, Lu Ming continued, "We should settle the elders who have come here properly. They will be the main force when we fight against those sects."

Besides the Eight-Ox Crossbow, which was their trump card, this battle also involved...

These are the leaders of the various sects in the sea area.

At the very least, ensure that when facing a dozen or so sects nearby, the number of experts will not fall behind.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Wu Han responded, he and the other generals carefully retreated at Lu Ming's signal.

Just as the Dayu side had made preparations.

Inside the Great Xia commander's tent in Obsidian City at this moment.

Commander Lin Mo sat in the head seat. He was a newly promoted Dao Lord of the Great Xia Dynasty, who had made great achievements in battle and was also a member of the royal family.

He was quite famous throughout the entire Eastern Region.

He stands on the white tiger image and is skilled in the "Gengjin Sword Technique," having slain countless people on the battlefield.

He was one of the strongest generals in the Great Xia Dynasty.

He was clad in silver armor, had a masculine face, and exuded a powerful aura.

He sat in the seat of honor.

His face, as if carved by a knife and axe, showed a hint of solemnity.

He tapped his fingers on the table, glanced around at the sect leaders who had arrived early, and said, "Thank you all for your help. Our Great Xia will always remember this kindness."

"Hehe, General Lin Mo, you're too kind. Now that we've formed the Eastern Region Alliance, we share the same fate. It's truly hateful that the Great Yu is so arrogant, ignoring our blockade and breaking out, and even seizing the Five Spirits Prefecture."

When the war begins, Steward Sun from the Tianxuan Sect will personally come to oversee the battle.

"Before the Five Spirits Continent is fully aligned with the Great Yu's fortune, we can definitely take it back." The Heavenly Sword Sect Master said with a smile. He looked like a scholar, but his sword aura was extremely domineering.

They are both at the Dao Lord realm.

"Not only must we reclaim Wuling Prefecture, but we must also annihilate the entire army of Dayu, especially Wu Han, who has been too arrogant lately."

"It is said that he slaughtered all the warriors of Great Xia who refused to surrender; he was utterly heartless and inhumane," said Sect Master Mingxia angrily.

He received the most help from Da Yu.

Now, after turning against each other, they are the ones who most want to destroy the Great Yu.

Even when he spoke, he gritted his teeth, as if he wished he could destroy the Great Yu right now.

Lin Mo nodded. "Besides me, five elders from the Great Xia royal family have also come this time, all for the purpose of destroying the Great Yu in one battle. I entrust this task to you all."

"General Lin Mo, you're too kind," the sect leaders immediately replied.

A smile appeared on his face.

Clearly, they are quite confident about this battle.

Meanwhile, within the Kaiyang Sect, the sect leader now sits atop the main hall.

The entire Kaiyang Palace was dimly lit.

The sect leader of Kaiyang had a full head of red hair and looked rather rugged.

A faint ethereal light emanated from his body.

Clearly, with the help of the humanistic fortune of the Great Yu Dynasty, he is about to undergo a transformation.

An elder stepped forward cautiously and said, "Sect Master, the Tianxuan Sect has contacted us many times recently, hoping that we will not help the Dayu Sect. The Dayu Sect has also sent messages, hoping that we will keep our promise."

"Although I promised the major sects to blockade the Great Yu together, there are still some karmic ties between us. When we were evacuating, I promised the Emperor of Yu that I could help them if they were in danger."

"However, the Great Yu is currently on its death throes, and has already offended so many sects. Helping them would be a losing proposition," the Kaiyang Sect Master said calmly.

Clearly, he didn't want to help Da Yu.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Here's what we'll do. Tell Da Yu that the Tianxuan Sect invited us to help this time, but I refused. From now on, the two families will have no further relationship, and they should not come looking for us again."

Clearly, this Kaiyang Sect Master is planning to renege on his debt.

"The sect leader is wise!" the elder replied and then withdrew.

After he left.

The Kaiyang Sect Master then turned his gaze to the Kaiyang Saintess beside him, saying, "Go and watch this battle; you can learn some combat experience from it."

"Yes, Master!"

The sect leader of Kaiyang Sect is the master of the Holy Maiden of Kaiyang.

The current saintess has also reached the Divine Power Realm in cultivation.

Among his peers, he is definitely a top-tier expert.

Then, the Sect Master of Kaiyang seemed to have thought of something and said, "I heard rumors that the domain veins of the Seven Star Domain are showing signs of awakening. After a while, there may be a message from the Immortal Domain. If the domain veins really awaken..."

Our Seven Star Domain will be connected to the Immortal Domain, which will bring about an unprecedented upheaval for us.

Those with great fortune are destined for greatness if they obtain the fortune of a domain vein.

Many people are now speculating about who will inherit the domain's fortune.

They will then directly enter the Heavenly Palace and become celestial officials.

This is something that has never happened before in the Seven Star Domain.

You should seize this opportunity. Even if you don't gain good fortune, you should still find the person and try your best to befriend them.

In short, there are no downsides.

I sense that this person is likely among the Daoist disciples, or perhaps among you Holy Maidens.”

"Yes, Master!" Upon hearing her master's words, the Holy Maiden of Kaiyang was filled with shock and disbelief.

I never imagined there was such a secret.

However, before she could ask, Daoist Kaiyang waved his hand, signaling her to step back.

Although I had doubts.

But the Holy Maiden of Kaiyang dared not say anything more and carefully retreated.

After she left.

Daoist Kaiyang then went into seclusion.

He doesn't even consider the Great Yu Dynasty a threat now.

This level of combat is merely a means for his disciples to gain experience.

As for the other major sects, apart from the Tianxuan Sect, which still has someone in charge because its previous Daoist Master died at Lu Ming's hands.

None of the seven major sects sent anyone this time.

Even the few Daoist masters are all in seclusion.

I'm not very interested in things like that.

After all, the strength of the Great Yu is truly insignificant compared to theirs.

In everyone's heart, if it weren't for the power of humanity...

The Great Yu Dynasty had already been destroyed.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

On this day, Lu Ming stood atop the city wall of Obsidian City.

His gaze was fixed on the distance ahead.

The dark army, stretching as far as the eye could see, was approaching the city.

Above them were powerful figures, including Commander Lin Mo and the sect leaders of various sects.

They radiated a powerful spiritual light.

After surviving a tribulation, both the physical body and the soul underwent tremendous tempering.

Her whole body was pure and flawless.

His eyes sparkled with divine light.

Like colorful glass.

But it gives people a terrifying feeling.

Behind the Dao Lords were numerous supernatural beings and Dharma Aspect experts.

A powerful aura rippled through the air.

The surrounding air undulates like waves.

"Your Majesty, the Great Yu is finished. It's not just my Great Xia that wants to destroy you, but also all the major sects."

I advise you to surrender now, so that some of your men can survive.

Otherwise, when the city falls, not a single one will survive.

His voice rang out, carrying a warning and a threat. Lu Ming's gaze remained calm.

Unmoved at all.

"Are all the generals and commanders of the Great Xia Dynasty good at nothing but talking?"

His voice was flat.

Yet it exudes a dignified arrogance.

Lin Mo smiled, but his gaze grew colder and colder.

Then, he waved his hand, signaling the army to attack.

"kill!"

A general at the Divine Power Realm led a square formation of warriors as they charged forward.

Without any assistance, their cultivation levels were all above the Qi Refining stage, and they could leap onto the city wall with a single bound.

"Bang! Bang!"

But the next moment, the sound of a bowstring snapping rang out.

Then we saw crossbow bolts piercing the air.

A large number of arrows flashed with a cold light, piercing the bodies of the Great Xia warriors who charged forward.

Blood splattered and flowed around.

Hu Fei's body flashed with light.

"Creak!" The bowstring in his hand groaned as he pulled it.

In an instant, it became a full moon, and then the arrow pierced the sky.

It flew directly towards the powerful general of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Hmph!" the other party snorted coldly.

His palm grew to a size of ten thousand feet and slammed out, trying to knock down the feathered arrow.

"Stab!"

However, the sharp arrow still tore his palm apart in an instant.

Then, it brought up a cloud of blood mist and reached the neck of the Great Xia general.

After bursting with astonishing speed, it pierced straight through.

The general let out a roar.

Then his body fell backward.

It fell to the ground.

At this moment, the army of Da Xia also rushed onto the city wall.

A fierce battle has officially begun.

Lin Mo, standing behind, said with a faint smile, "This batch of soldiers who charged up the city wall is the most elite army of our Great Xia. In addition to 100,000 Qi Refining soldiers and Foundation Establishment soldiers, there are also 50,000 Golden Core soldiers."

Together with a group of three thousand Purple Mansions, they formed an assault battalion.

Once they reach the city walls, the Great Yu will surely be unable to withstand them.

"Hehe, Emperor Yu is probably in big trouble now. Although the Five Spirits Continent has already been spread by human fortune, it has only just been occupied and its effects are really limited."

"I don't think it's possible for the Great Yu to resist," Sect Master Mingxia said with a chuckle.

She held two beads in her hand, which made a crisp clinking sound.

The great battle has just begun, and a powerhouse of his caliber will not easily join the fight.

However, seeing this scene, Lu Ming couldn't help but frown.

The Five Spirits Prefecture was occupied for too short a time.

It can only suppress cultivation levels above the level of supernatural powers.

Many of the soldiers and lower-ranking officers of the Great Xia were not suppressed.

Now, he is actually locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle with his own soldiers.

At this moment, he did not hesitate.

It immediately entered the system space.

With 1.5 million points, I redeemed three more Nine Cauldrons.

When the blood on his body fell onto the cauldron.

At this moment, the Nine Cauldrons had already been gathered within his body.

"Buzz!" It was almost visible to the naked eye.

A pale golden light enveloped the entire Five Spirits Continent at that moment.

Then an astonishing scene unfolded.

Just now, a Dharma Aspect expert from the Great Xia Dynasty was fighting a fierce battle with a general from the Great Yu Dynasty on the battlefield.

But the next moment, his cultivation was severely suppressed, and he could only exert the combat power of a Qi Refining cultivator.

"Bang!" Before the person could even react, they were slapped to death on the spot.

In contrast, the warriors of Dayu were completely unaffected.

Therefore, the elite troops of the Great Xia who rushed to the city wall were instantly routed.

They didn't even have a chance to escape.

Blood gushed down like a waterfall.

The stench of blood permeated the surroundings, and the dark walls were covered with a mist of blood, giving them an eerie feel.

It chills the heart.

In the distance, Lin Mo's expression was grim.

Such elite troops are rare even in the Great Xia Dynasty, yet they were killed in a single battle.

But he was, after all, a renowned general of the Great Xia Dynasty, and reason prevailed over impulse.

He said in a deep voice, "Withdraw a hundred miles!"

After he finished speaking, he led his army in a slow retreat.

However, he immediately turned around and continued, "Emperor Yu, if you want to break the sect's blockade, relying solely on human power is not enough. You must step out and defeat us honorably to prove your strength."

I'll be waiting for you!

He said it calmly, and then retreated without looking back.

Although their faces were ashen, as long as Lu Ming was within their territory, there was really nothing they could do.

Wasn't that masked elder of the Tianxuan Sect back then a perfect example?

Even top-ranked players from the Fengyun Ranking were outmatched by Lu Ming.

They almost didn't make it back, and they didn't want to take any risks.

Moreover, what Lin Mo just said is indeed a sore point for Da Yu right now.

Being locked down is tough.

Although Lu Ming can hold on for the time being thanks to his vast resources, in the long run, it is destined to become a stagnant pool.

Lin Mo had anticipated this.

We need to provoke Lu Ming into coming out.

"Does he really dare to come out?" Sect Master Mingxia couldn't help but ask.

In his view, Lu Ming's coming out meant certain death.

“If he doesn’t come out, he will remain under blockade. I observe that this Emperor of Yu is ambitious. As long as he wants the Great Yu to develop, he will definitely come out.”

Lin Mo said calmly.

Lu Ming, standing on the city wall, curled the corner of his mouth.

Even if the other party doesn't say anything, he will take the initiative to attack.

Lin Mo is right. To break the blockade, we need to show our strength.

Otherwise, even if you defeat a Dao Lord within the Great Yu territory, other sects will not take you seriously.

"Wu Han, have all the Eight-Ox Crossbows arrived?"

Lu Ming said calmly.

Wu Han immediately straightened up. "Your Majesty, they have been delivered. A full three thousand of them."

"Push them all onto the city walls, prepare for the attack, open the city gates, and I will go out and meet this Great Xia!" His calm voice rang out.

Wu Han was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied.

"As ordered!"

The next moment, one crossbow cart after another was pushed onto the city wall. They were all blue-gold in color and covered with various runes. They were ten meters long and five meters high.

The cold crossbow bolts pointed forward.

It radiates a sharp light.

Behind each ballista, there are nine cyan-gold kui oxen connected to it, their bodies crackling with lightning and flashing with runes.

Thunderclouds flashed beneath their feet, lifting the ballista into the air and suspending it above the city wall.

Lu Ming stared intently at the crossbow and asked, "What is its attack range in meters?"

“Your Majesty, it is indestructible within a thousand miles!” Wu Han said confidently, having tested it himself.

This is true.

As the voice rang out, Lu Ming nodded.

Turning back to Wu Han, he said, "Lock down those Dao Lords for me, make sure they can't participate in the battle, and shoot them down if possible. The rest of you, fight your way out!"

A cold voice sounded.

Wu Han waved his command flag: "One thousand crossbow carts in the front row, aim at the enemy Dao Lord, and activate at full power."

"Moo!" The next moment, the Kui Niu moved, making a sound like thunder. As it moved forward step by step, it drew the bowstring to its fullest extent, and a large number of spirit stones in the slot burned.

It transforms into the purest form of energy.
