The heavy crossbows mounted atop Zhensha Pass's walls were drawn in unison, then the Battle Cultivator crossbowmen adjusted their firing angles.
Sharp crossbow bolts pointed toward the Sky Dome.
These city-defense heavy crossbows were all first-tier Magic Tools, requiring cultivators to operate and fire them. They had long range and immense power, capable of easily piercing black iron armor within a thousand paces, and could break through spells as well.
A single heavy crossbow was nothing to fear. Even an ordinary Demonic Beast could evade its bolts.
But when their numbers surged into the hundreds or even thousands, the destructive power of a simultaneous volley was undoubtedly terrifying.
Over the centuries, no one knew how many Sand People had died beneath these heavy crossbows.
Yet today, the Great Ying Battle Cultivators faced a countless swarm of giant locusts.
Before the insects blotting out the sky and covering the earth, even more than three thousand heavy crossbows appeared sparse.
At the same time, God Slaying Cannons were swiftly wheeled out by the Battle Cultivators. Their crimson cannon covers were removed, and a faint radiance glimmered from their pitch-black muzzles.
These were the true great killing weapons equipped at Zhensha Pass—Magic Treasures said to lay waste to ten li with a single blast and possess the power to slay Golden Core cultivators!
There were twelve God Slaying Cannons in all, positioned atop specially constructed cannon towers. Their gunners were all cultivators at peak Qi Condensation.
Ordinarily, the God Slaying Cannons would only be deployed when Daying City faced grave danger.
Now, before the locust army had even arrived, the God Slaying Cannons had already been activated. This showed that Grand Commander Kou Shihai deemed it necessary.
This also made the Battle Cultivators stationed on the walls tense up.
Everyone remained silent
