Chapter 972: Enemy at the Gate
They were very curious about why the city lord Qu Heng of Lvyuan City was so partial to the Tang Sect.
In their opinion, this city lord Qu Heng should not have broken through the Title Douluo, so why didn't he dare to go against them.
But everything they encountered now made them a little unbelievable.
"Has this guy broken through? We can't detect his aura anymore."
Hongzhi frowned and made a vague guess.
"What? This situation should be a low probability event. Do you think it's so easy to break through the Title Douluo!"

"But it's not impossible. Let's be careful!"
Liu Yan also didn't believe it, but she was always cautious and subconsciously felt that she should be careful.
So Chu Xiong continued, "Brother Qu Heng, we should have sat together and drank wine last time, so we are friends after all."
"My three forces have no intention of being enemies with the Tianhun Empire. This time we are only here for the Tang Sect. Please give us a favor."
"After the matter is done, we will definitely visit you with generous gifts."
This was said very politely, obviously giving Qu Heng enough face.
But Qu Heng was not moved at all, but waved his hand.
In an instant, a large number of archers who had been prepared on the city wall all raised their arrows and aimed at the three people below.
The uniform voices gathered into a strong murderous atmosphere in the night sky.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xiong and the other two looked gloomy. They really couldn't think of what kind of benefits the Tang Sect had given this guy.
Wonder made him protect the Tang Sect so much.
This time, Chu Xiong's temper completely broke out, pointing at Qu Heng on the city wall and said: "Qu Heng, don't be ungrateful!"
"We are giving you enough face by saying this. If you don't open the door today, we will kill you too."
"Be careful not to piss us off, or we will kill you too."
"We don't want to be enemies with the Tianhun Empire, but we are not afraid of going to war with you either."
"Do you think the current Tianhun Empire is still the same empire as before?"
"The royal family today has been fighting for power, and the so-called Tianhun Empire is just an empty shell."
Chu Xiong's voice resounded around, although these words were not pleasant to hear, but they were real.
However, Qu Heng also had his own principles that he had to stick to, so he said: "Prepare the soul guide crossbow!"
The next second, a group of soldiers holding special weapons appeared on the city wall again.
In their hands at this moment, there were strange square boxes, which were dark metallic in color and not conspicuous in the dark night.
But it is worth mentioning that all of these soul masters holding soul guide crossbows are soul masters above the realm of Soul King without exception.
A full fifty soul guide crossbows were in place at the same time, aiming at the three people below.
At the same time, a strange disc also appeared on the city wall. This black disc looked like a huge millstone.
The inscriptions and veins on it were very complicated. It was also lent to Lv Yuancheng by Tang Lan to resist foreign enemies.
As the black light on the huge millstone lit up, a gray light curtain completely enveloped Lv Yuancheng.
"Humph, you are really looking for death!"
"I will let you know the price of angering the Titled Douluo!"
Chu Xiong was extremely angry at this moment. He felt that he was looked down upon by a group of low-level soul masters in their 50s.
The moment the voice fell, Chu Xiong had already rushed to the light shield with a few flashes, and then punched hard.
Kuang————
The terrifying sound of the shock resounded around, and even Chu Xiong, who was not aware of it, took two steps back before he could stand firm.
He didn't expect that the gray light curtain was so solid.
"Shoot!"
The battle between the two sides was about to break out. With Qu Heng's order, the arrows on the city wall turned into a rain of arrows and shot at the three people.
"Everyone, retreat!"
Hongzhi roared, and then suddenly burst out with a terrifying momentum.
The nine soul rings on his body kept circling around, and then the fourth soul ring lit up.
This guy suddenly had a purple flute in his hand, and immediately began to play a melodious flute.
When the flute sounded, the surrounding space began to move like water waves.
The rain of arrows in the sky stopped in the air when it touched the ten-foot range around Hongzhi.
The soul masters of the three forces behind him only reacted at this time and began to withdraw.
Swish————
At this moment, an arrow suddenly broke through the control of the flute ripples and shot straight at Hongzhi's face.
"Huh?"
Seeing this scene, even Hongzhi exclaimed in surprise.
Subconsciously reaching out to grab it, when he saw the appearance of this thing clearly, he heard a loud bang.
That's right, this soul arrow exploded, even if it was blocked, it could still form a terrifying explosion.
Swish, swish, swish~~~
But before they could think carefully about the composition of this thing, a series of soul arrows rushed at them.
"Break it for me!!"
Chu Xiong roared and swung his right fist.
In an instant, a huge soul fist condensed and shattered all the arrows in front of him with one punch.
And on the other side, Liu Yan's figure began to slowly fade away.
Those arrows actually penetrated her body and could not cause any damage to her at all.
"Ah!!"
Due to the huge number of arrows flying in the sky, even though there were many strong men on the side of the three forces, they were still unable to resist, and gradually people began to get injured, and even died.
"Watch me!"
Seeing this scene, Chu Xiong was completely angry.
A huge martial spirit shadow appeared around him, and the whole person rushed forward without caring about anything and punched the gray light curtain in front of him several times.
The light on the huge light curtain kept flickering, but there was no sign of collapse.
Standing on the tower, Qu Heng saw this scene and was also surprised.
He didn't expect that the soul guide given by Tang Lan was so powerful that even the Titled Douluo could not break it in a short time.
Thinking of this, Qu Heng even began to figure out how to get this thing back from Tang Lan.
At the same time, he was also very tempted by the soul guide crossbow, because this thing does not need to be filled with arrows at all, but requires the soul master to inject soul power into it.
In theory, as long as the soul master has enough soul power, he can condense soul power arrows to attack the enemy without stopping.
What is shocking is that this thing does not consume much soul power, it simply compresses the soul power infinitely into an extremely thin arrow.
If this soul guide crossbow is made into an enlarged version,
similar to the size of a city defense crossbow, Qu Heng can no longer imagine how terrifying the power of this thing is.
However, these are just thoughts, he knows Tang Lan very well.
Knowing that Tang Lan is a person who will not do anything without benefits, he will never give Lu Yuancheng so many new soul guides without giving him equal benefits.
Now Qu Heng finally understands what Tang Lan said when he left: "They can't get in!" (End of this chapter)
