System's Super Sect-Chapter 783 - 775. A multitude of arrows shot simultaneously
"Form the ranks!"
With a shout from Wen Venerable in the high sky, the allied forces on the ground began to form a phalanx at the entrance of the Wangchuan Mountain Range.
From a distance, it appeared as a vast expanse of black, stretching for miles.
On the side of the Demon Race, the Titan Giant Ape stood at the forefront of the demons, a massive figure like a mountain before everyone else.
"Humans, coming to die again?"
The voice of Taishan spread like a thunderclap.
Wen Venerable responded, "Such a brute demon, simple-minded. Do you really think we have no means to deal with you?"
Demon-slaying Crossbow!
Crafted over a hundred years by several Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisans from the Hundred Sects Alliance.
Even with an ordinary arrow, it could pierce through the Demon Body of a Great Demon of the Divine Profound Realm.
If equipped with Demon-Slaying Arrows, it could kill a Mountain Guardian Demon King!
Unfortunately, the Demon Race was still basking in the joy of their last victory, unaware that real danger was looming.
"Charge!"
With Wen Venerable leading the charge, the allied forces began to sprint forward, appearing like a black tide from afar.
At the moment the allied forces charged, the Demon Race army also began a charge under Taishan’s leadership.
Wen Venerable and the Titan Giant Ape were the first to entangle, equally matched in their brief encounter.
This time, Wen Venerable wasn’t in a hurry.
Because his goal was no longer to quickly solve the Titan Giant Ape, but to win steadily.
Several breaths after the clash, the first wave of engagement began between the Hundred Sects Alliance forces and the Demon Race army at the entrance of the Wangchuan Mountain Range.
Numerous demons began to fall.
The Hundred Sects Alliance forces also suffered heavy losses.
Just from the initial clash, casualties reached into the thousands.
Indeed, this is war!
In the face of war, life is always so cheap.
As the armies clashed, the Demon-slaying Crossbow troops in the rear also began to push forward.
Massive crossbows, several people tall, were being pushed forward by groups of ten, forming a large phalanx, stopping several hundred meters from the Wangchuan Mountain Range.
However, the Demon-slaying Crossbows did not fire in the first round.
The first round of fire was just an ordinary rain of arrows.
But with hundreds of thousands shooting arrows simultaneously, the arrow rain was overwhelming, and under its barrage, many demons began to fall.
But as one fell, another would rush forward.
Having won a great victory previously, the Demon Race was unafraid of life and death, solely intent on tearing the Hundred Sects Alliance apart.
From a distance, Huaikong watched this scene, pained but unmoved.
He had anticipated this happening.
The war between the Hundred Sects Alliance and the Demon Race was bound to end with massive sacrifices.
"What is that!"
Shifeng suddenly pointed to the Demon-slaying Crossbow array in the center of the Hundred Sects Alliance.
Huaikong and the others immediately focused their gaze there.
However, no one knew what it was.
Zi Ran reminded, "Elder Chen didn’t provide any intel on this; perhaps it’s a hidden tactic of the Hundred Sects Alliance, we must be cautious."
He Nian chimed in, "If I’m not mistaken, those should be Demon-slaying Crossbows, something invented by a group of Vortex Divine Artisans long ago during the battle at Heaven-Gazing Gorge. The top-level Demon-slaying Crossbows could kill a Demon King in one shot; the ones forged by the Hundred Sects Alliance might not be enough to harm a Demon King."
If not for seeing them, He Nian might have almost forgotten.
These were things long ago sold to the Hundred Sects Alliance by the He Mansion.
"They must be destroyed!"
Huaikong’s gaze immediately locked onto the location of the Demon-slaying Crossbows.
He Nian added, "I’ll take the hidden Demon Kings to eliminate them; if they are allowed to operate, many demons will die."
With that, He Nian mounted a nearby Wing Race Great Demon and flew in that direction.
With He Nian’s command, the thousand or so Demon Kings hidden in the forest of the Wangchuan Mountain Range revealed their Demon Bodies and charged with He Nian.
Seeing this while tangling with the Titan Giant Ape, Wen Venerable hurriedly shouted, "Protect the crossbows!"
Wen Venerable never expected the Demon Race to have hidden so many Demon Kings in the forest.
If these many Demon Kings reached the Demon-slaying Crossbows, even a hundred thousand might not be enough for them to dismantle.
The painstakingly hidden efforts of the Hundred Sects Alliance would be in vain.
Upon Wen Venerable’s shout, the Silver Level Chief in charge of the Demon-slaying Crossbows quickly issued orders.
At this moment, the ten thousand Demon-slaying Crossbows simultaneously drew their bowstrings.
Giant Demon-Slaying Arrows were aimed into the demon horde.
"Fire!"
With the command, a sound like a mountain call and ocean roar accompanied the blackened rain of Demon-Slaying Arrows surging into the Demon Race horde.
The Demon Kings in mid-charge immediately had their attention drawn.
A few breaths later, all the Demon Kings were enraged.
Because after the rain of Demon-Slaying Arrows fell, every demon within the hundred-meter range was shot dead by them.
Nearly ten thousand demons, obliterated in mere seconds!
Seeing this, He Nian hurriedly shouted, "Destroy those Demon-slaying Crossbows at any cost!"
He Nian, leading the charge, plunged into the ranks of the Hundred Sects Alliance’s Mountain Suppression experts blocking his way.
The thousand or so Demon Kings roared as they charged from one side toward the Demon-slaying Crossbows. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Whether it’s He Nian.
Or those Demon Kings.
Now everyone knows, if those Demon-slaying Crossbows aren’t dealt with and fire a few more rounds, countless demons will perish!
However, approaching the Demon-slaying Crossbow phalanx, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of allied forces, wasn’t that easy.
Demon Kings were strong, but couldn’t handle thousands at once.
He Nian was mighty, but couldn’t instantly kill tens of thousands blocking him.
"Naïve!"
The Silver Level Chief commanding the Demon-slaying Crossbows smiled lightly, issuing orders for a second volley.
A few breaths later, the deafening sound from earlier rang out again.
Another overwhelming volley of black Demon-Slaying Arrows rained upon the demon hordes.
Amid the sounds of roaring, tens of thousands more demons fell to the rain of Demon-Slaying Arrows.
Seeing this, Huaikong was enraged.
Just as he was about to take action, Shifeng was the first to speak, "Brother, let me go!"
"I’ll go too!"
Long Yue followed up.
The huge casualties on their side made Long Yue, Shifeng, and others who were supposed to be in command unable to sit still.
If this continued for a few more rounds, how many of the Demon Race might die?
At this moment, Wen Ping’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Even if you go, it won’t help; there are several pairs of eyes watching you from afar, and if you get close, they’ll take action."
Huaikong and the others immediately looked back.
Only to see Wen Ping Sword Control arrive behind them.
Huaikong hurriedly said, "Sect Leader, but if we don’t deal with those Demon-slaying Crossbows now, we don’t know how many more of the Demon Race will die!"
"If given time to familiarize yourself more with the use of Demon Power, such things could be entirely avoided."
Wen Venerable knew very well, what was the most powerful thing for the new Demon Race?
Demon Body?
Divine Techniques?
No, it’s none of these.
The most powerful is Demon Power!
Wen Ping added, "Pass my order, all demons circulate their Demon Pill, counter with Demon Power."
