Chapter 2180: Demon God Bow!

Translated by: Hypersheep325

Edited by: Michyrr

From the walls of the fortress, it appeared as if the entire world had fallen into turmoil, everything past a distance of three feet turning into a blur.

The blizzard and icy mist spread with incredible speed, not just affecting the battlefield outside the walls, but also within the fortress. The visibility in the region plunged.

“What’s going on? What happened?!”

The soldiers of the city defense division on the walls began to panic.

The city defense division was divided into six-man teams, and cooperation was the foundation of this division. They had trained to rely on each other, but now, the members of each team could no longer see each other. Even when they tried their best to draw close, they could only make out indistinct silhouettes.

“What’s going on? Is it An Lushan?”

In the center of the fortress, Abusi, Chuluohou, and many other generals stood up in alarm as they watched icy mist overtake the battlefield.

It was their belief that only one person on the enemy side could control the weather: An Lushan!

But hadn’t Wang Chong already neutralized An Lushan’s weather-controlling ability?

Had something changed?

Abusi instinctively turned to Wang Chong.

Though the mist was thick, it had little effect on a Great General like Abusi.

“No, this isn’t a weather-controlling ability!”

Wang Chong shook his head, his eyes also on the battlefield.

This current situation was very similar to a weather-controlling ability, but as Wang Chong spread out his Psychic Energy over the battlefield, he noticed something different.

Wang Chong quickly noticed a unique energy on the battlefield.

“This is a martial art! The Xi Queen’s ability!”

Wang Chong had never fought or interacted with the Xi Queen before, and the Xi Queen’s strength was not obvious, but Wang Chong had still managed to recognize it at a glance.

In the apocalyptic era, An Lushan’s rebellion had drawn the attention of the world. Moreover, the Xi Queen was a woman, so there had been many rumors about her.

“Truly surprising! I didn’t think the leader of the Xi Tribe would possess such extraordinary cultivation!”

Wang Chong smirked.

The Xi Queen’s ability was rather similar to his Divine Embryo 3. But at this present stage, Wang Chong was not prepared to so quickly intervene and personally deal with her.

“Chuluohou, I leave the Xi Queen to you!”

Wang Chong suddenly turned to the deputy commander of the Tongluo Cavalry, Chuluohou.

“Yes!”

Chuluohou’s expression turned grim as he lowered his head and respectfully left.

Back at the Battle of Talas, Chuluohou had been proud and unruly, and Wang Chong had barely any command over him.

But after the Tongluo Tribe narrowly escaped death after the Rebellion of the Three Princes, avoiding the fate of being completely wiped out with the rest of the First Prince’s army, Chuluohou’s attitude experienced a complete reversal, and he treated Wang Chong with utmost respect and admiration. This was even more true now that Wang Chong was ascendant and was now the supreme figure of the Great Tang.

The strong ate the weak, and the victor was king!

This was the Tongluo’s principle.

Wang Chong had used strength to crush the Tongluo and was the War Saint revered by the world. Now that the times had changed, so, naturally, had the Tongluo Tribe’s attitude to Wang Chong.

Without hesitation, Chuluohou turned to leave.

He walked only a few steps before Wang Chong called out to him, “Wait!

“This ritual tool is for you. Use it against the Xi Queen.”

As Wang Chong spoke, he took a long bundle from Old Eagle’s back and tore off the covering, revealing a dazzling, golden object.

Chuluohou’s eyes widened when he saw the object in Wang Chong’s hand, his face paling.

In Wang Chong’s hands was an extremely ancient and elegant golden bow. It was more than five feet long and covered in intricate patterns.

Inscriptions!

Chuluohou could tell at a glance that these were extremely powerful and old inscriptions.

He also saw many reliefs made of darker metal on the bow. These reliefs were of the legendary Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars of Arabia. Black waves surged beneath the feet of these demon gods as they thrust out their palms and roared at the heavens. This was clearly the scene of the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars being suppressed by God beneath the sea.

The Demon God Bow!

This was a powerful ritual tool that Wang Chong had obtained from the Arabian treasury.

Wang Chong had owned this bow for some time, but he was no master archer. However, Chuluohou was different. For the Tongluo, horse archery was a fundamental skill, and Chuluohou was a stand-out in his tribe.

“Many thanks, Your Highness.”


Chuluohou grabbed the Demon God Bow and left.

……

A cold voice rang out over the battlefield. “Xi Queen, I will count to three. This king is giving you time to leave, but if you do not, this king will be merciless!”

The battlefield fell silent, the snowstorm dwindling in strength.

“Wang Chong!”

An Lushan, Gao Shang, Ozmish Khagan, and the others instantly recognized the voice.

In front of the steel fortress, the Xi Queen was taken aback and instinctively looked up at the walls. But a moment later, the Xi Queen stroked her cheeks and charmingly smiled.

“Your Highness, what is this? Are you personally taking action against this lowly woman?”

An Lushan and the Khitan King couldn’t help but frown at this reply.

This was the battlefield, where one died and the other lived. Did the Xi Queen not understand the situation?

“There’s nothing to be done. That’s just how she is.”

The Khitan King helplessly spread out his arms.

Wang Chong spoke once more.

“I’m not needed to deal with you.”

“Is that so?”

The Xi Queen was surprised at first, but the reply only made her even more eager.

Wang Chong ignored her and began the countdown.

“Three!

“Two!

“One!”

Wang Chong’s icy voice rang out through the world.

The Xi Queen had not expected Wang Chong to be so straightforward, but his indifferent voice provoked her pride.

The Xi Queen clenched her silver teeth and viciously said, “Hmph, the more you’re like this, the more I want to see what you’re going to try!”

If Wang Chong personally intervened, she might have been afraid, but she wasn’t afraid of some lackey.

The Xi Queen might have been a woman, but not just anybody could sit on the throne of the Xi Tribe and become one of the powerhouses of the northeast. That bastard was looking down on her too much.

“Hmph!”

The Xi Queen did not move, and a cold grunt came from within the fortress.

Inside the steel fortress, Wang Chong’s expression chilled as he slowly raised his hand into the air. His hand trembled, and then, suddenly—

Boom!

The earth trembled as a tornado howled out. Before anyone could react, the blizzard stirred up by the Xi Queen was obliterated, the thick and lingering icy mist rapidly dispersed.

Clarity was restored to the battlefield, and it once more became possible to see what was going on in front of the steel fortress.

The Great Tang’s kerosene had created a sea of flames in front of the walls, but after the Xi Queen’s move, all of the flames had been extinguished.

Not only that, the kerosene that had drenched the ground had now been sealed under a thick layer of ice, together with the bodies and various pieces of equipment.

Meanwhile, a thick layer of ice had also sealed off the beehives, the steel pipes, and the metal plates that had pushed off the siege ladders.

Rumble!

A metallic clatter came from the walls, but the beehives and steel pipes could no longer function, let alone unleash their lethal cargo.

The soldiers operating the switches within the wall paled.

The Xi Queen smugly smiled.

The Xi Tribe survived in a similar state as the Khitans. During the winter, their lands became engulfed in snow, and the temperature in the lands of the Xi and Khitans would plunge.

The Xi Queen’s lineage had developed this ability through training in this environment.

“I’d like to see what you have to deal with me.”

The Xi Queen looked at the steel fortress and smiled.

Although she had boasted in front of An Lushan and the others, she was actually an extremely cautious person. Let alone the limit of four hundred feet Gao Shang had placed, the Xi Queen was standing more than seven thousand feet away. Even if Wang Chong personally took action, she had enough time to flee, let alone someone else.

Bang!

The Xi Queen’s smile was still hanging on her lips when a thunderous boom came from the fortress.

At the same time, a boundless energy appeared in everyone’s senses. It was so powerful that even ordinary soldiers could sense it.

Whoosh!

Wind began to howl, but this time, it was coming from the direction of the steel fortress and moving toward Youzhou.

“Not good!”

The Xi Queen paled, instantly sensing that her life was in grave danger. Her young and beautiful face instantly went as white as paper.

Driven by terror and instinct, the Xi Queen lunged to the side, but compared to that arrow unleashed by Chuluohou from within the fortress, she was far too slow.

Plush! An indistinct blur shot out of the skies, piercing through space and straight at the Xi Queen.

The Xi Queen dodged almost instinctively, but suddenly, she felt a piercing pain at her back, and the sound of an arrow penetrating through flesh entered her ears.
