Yan stood aside and saw Hu Liena looking like she was about to cry, angry and aggrieved, and then looked at the featureless iron lump, and hurriedly comforted: "Ha! Nana, you have already broken through the first level, and this last one is useless. By the way, didn’t you see that I had nothing last time?”
Xie Yue frowned. He was much more sensitive than Yan. The cold touch and the heart-stoppingly precise structure of this iron box were by no means ordinary. He was about to speak to comfort his sister.
"This object is called the 'Zhuge Divine Crossbow'."
The three people turned their heads sharply and focused their gazes on the source of the sound - Ling Ye, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
"Zhuge Divine Crossbow? What is it!" Hu Liena asked subconsciously.
"The machine is a hidden weapon, not a soul-guided weapon." Ling Ye's voice was clear and steady. "It contains sixteen fine steel crossbow arrows, driven by a special machine spring, and injected with a small amount of soul power to stimulate it." Is the beast scratching its itch? "
Ling Ye ignored Yan's taunt and turned to Xie Yue, the person with the most weapons literacy among the three: "Senior Xie Yue, can you give me this crossbow?"
Xie Yue was already confused, and upon hearing this, he immediately handed over the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in his hand. There was a trace of solemnity in his movements that he himself had not noticed.
Ling Ye took the cold metal box. It's heavy to start with and has a cold texture. His slender fingers gently pressed on the groove behind the small metal trigger on the side of the box, revealing an extremely hidden tiny hole that only allowed a trace of soul power to be injected. At the same time, he skillfully flicked the tail of the crossbow box with his left hand, and with a soft "click" sound, a loading port popped open, revealing sixteen gleaming, neatly arranged, three-edged steel crossbow arrows inside!
This smooth flow, as if it had been practiced thousands of times, made Xie Yue's pupils suddenly shrink!
Ling Ye ignored Yan's snort and Hu Liena's still aggrieved and confused look. He stood up and glanced around the small dormitory, finally settling on a hard granite pillar as thick as a bowl in the corner behind the door that supported the roof. The stone pillar is part of the load-bearing structure of the dormitory building and is extremely strong.
He held the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and walked to a position about ten steps (about five meters) away from the stone pillar and stood there. The movement is not fast, even a little jerky, but every step is extremely stable. He held the crossbow body with his left hand, placed the index finger of his right hand on the cold metal trigger, and pointed the tiny groove behind the trigger at the stone pillar.
"Inject soul power and pull the trigger." Ling Ye's voice sounded calmly.
Under the suspicious gazes of the three people.
Hum——!
At the moment when the soul power was injected, an extremely subtle "click" sound of spring compression inside the Zhuge Divine Crossbow instantly erupted from the inside of the cold crossbow body! The sound was not loud, but it carried a head-numbing sense of readiness for pure mechanical power!
Hu Liena and Yan instantly felt a chill rising from their spines!
The next moment!
Ling Ye put his index finger on the trigger and pressed it lightly!
chichichichichichi——! ! !
There is no deafening explosion, no dazzling soul light!
There is only a terrifying roar that is so dense that it is suffocating and sharp enough to pierce the eardrums! Like sixteen black lightnings from hell, they tore the air instantly!
The naked eye cannot capture the flight trajectory of the crossbow arrow! All that could be seen was the hard granite pillar as thick as a bowl. At the same moment as the sharp roar sounded, it was like being hit hard by an invisible giant hammer!
Boom! ! !
A loud sound that was so dull that it caused cardiac arrest!
The hard granite surface suddenly exploded like fragile tofu! Countless fine cracks spread crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye! Stone powder mixed with tiny gravels exploded like smoke from an explosion!
Smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring the view.
The whole dormitory trembled slightly under this blow! Dust fell from the roof.
Dead silence! Absolute silence!
The remaining grievance on Hu Liena's face and Yan's sarcastic smile were completely frozen, like two poor masks! Their eyes were so wide that they almost burst open, and their mouths opened unconsciously, but no sound came out! Only the heart was beating wildly in the chest, almost bursting out of the chest!
Xie Yue is even more like being cast into stone! He is the closest and sees the most clearly! Those sixteen black lightning-like crossbow arrows penetrated through without any hindrance almost the moment they touched the stone pillar! Yes, penetration! Not breaking the surface! It was like a red-hot steel needle penetrating butter, sinking deeply and completely into the extremely hard granite! Only sixteen tiny holes with bottomless depth and smooth edges were left! The center part of the stone pillar has been turned into powder by this terrifying penetrating power!
The smoke slowly dispersed.
Hand on the thick pillar, centered on the shooting point of Ling Ye, a terrifying depression the size of a washbasin exploded! Spider web-like cracks are spread around the depression, and sixteen holes deeply embedded in the stone pillars are clearly visible, like a honeycomb!
"Uh..." Yan made a gasping sound in his throat, as if he was being strangled. He stumbled forward subconsciously, his tall body shaking slightly uncontrollably. He stared at the hideous wound on the stone pillar, and then suddenly looked at the black crossbow box in Ling Ye's hand that had returned to cold silence. His eyes were full of extreme horror, disbelief, and a kind of confusion that had subverted his cognition! This... what the hell is this? ! There is no soul skill fluctuation! There is no soul power explosion! Just a weak wisp of soul power as a trigger, inspiring... a pure, cold, mechanical... death storm? !
Hu Liena’s face turned pale. The grievances and disappointments just now have been replaced by boundless fear and fear! She looked at the almost destroyed stone pillar, and then thought about what if this terrifying crossbow arrow was shot at her... A chill instantly shot from the soles of her feet to the sky, making the hairs on her body stand on end! She subconsciously took a step back, covered her mouth tightly with both hands, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly! This thing... is terrible!
Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan all gasped at the same time! The calm and emotionless description in Ling Ye's mouth sounded like thunder from the sky to their ears at the moment, even more shocking than the destructive power they had witnessed just now! Penetrate the Soul Lord's body defense? ! Threaten the Soul Sect? ! This... this is simply a forbidden weapon that subverts the soul master's combat system!
The blood on Yan's face completely faded. He looked at the poisoned crossbow arrow in Xie Yue's hand, and then at the Fire Lord Spirit Defense that he was proud of. He felt a cold air rushing from his tailbone to the top of his head! If this thing was shot at him just now... He subconsciously touched his chest, as if he had already felt the cold penetration!
Hu Liena's delicate body trembled slightly. She looked at the iron box in Ling Ye's hand that had returned to ordinaryness again, her eyes full of panic and fear. She finally understood that what she had just fired was not some scrap metal, but a powerful weapon that could scare countless soul masters!
"The blind box has been completed today, three of you, please go back. I want to practice."
The three of them silently exited Lingye's dormitory with unspeakable heavy hearts and the murderous weapon that could cause a bloody storm.
Ling Ye sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes and began to meditate.
The soul power that Hu Liena had just fired was now integrated into Ling Ye's body.
Boom——!
Level 12! peak!
…
In the depths of the Papal Palace, in a dark study.
Bibi Dong sat behind an obsidian desk, her long dark purple hair flowing with a mysterious luster in the dim light. The crystal ball in front of her silently reflected everything that happened in Ling Ye's dormitory: Hu Liena's grievance, Yan's ridicule, Ling Ye's calm introduction, the earth-shattering and destructive display of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, and finally the fluctuation of soul power emanating from Ling Ye's body when he broke through to level 12.
When he saw those sixteen crossbow arrows, like black lightning from hell, instantly destroying the hard granite pillars beyond recognition, a ripple of "surprise" clearly passed through Bibi Dong's purple eyes as deep as the abyss for the first time.
Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan, holding the cold Zhuge Divine Crossbow and the paper recording the devil's instructions, stood respectfully under the desk, not even daring to breathe. Yan lowered his head, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and no longer dared to be as unruly as before.
"Your Majesty," Xie Yue's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement and a hint of fear. He held up the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and the paper with both hands, "This object... is called the Zhuge Divine Crossbow! It comes from the blind box of Senior Lingye! The power... is amazing! Its description is all on this page!" His voice changed slightly due to excitement.
"Ignores non-defensive soul skills...penetrates the Soul Sect's body defense...threats the Soul Sect..."
hh "Yueguan."
In the void, there seemed to be shadows of flower petals falling silently. A figure appeared quietly in the shadows in the corner of the study, like a ghost. He is tall and tall, wearing a gorgeous robe embroidered with strange velvet and celestial chrysanthemum patterns. He has a soft and handsome face, but his eyes are as sharp as knives. He is Ju Douluo Yueguan.
"Your Majesty." Yue Guan bowed slightly, his voice soft.
"This object is called the 'Zhuge Divine Crossbow'." Bibi Dong tapped the weapon in Xie Yue's hand from a distance with her fingertips. "It is not a soul guidance device, but a pure mechanical creation. You can see its power with your own eyes." She glanced at the appalling image of the granite pillar in the crystal ball.
Yue Guan's eyes instantly locked onto Zhuge Shennu, and for the first time his sharp peach blossom eyes showed solemnity and surprise.
“My subordinates have seen it.” Yue Guan responded in a deep voice, with a hint of shock in his voice.
"Take it." Bibi Dong's voice carried an unquestionable order, like the jingling of gold and iron, "Call all the top casting masters and machine craftsmen in the palace to... completely dismantle this thing! Reverse mapping! Analyze its materials, structure, and excitation principles! I want to see... a detailed report! And..." She paused, a cold and decisive light flashed deep in her purple eyes, "Copy! Even... the possibility of improvement!"
"Yes! I will obey your Majesty's order!" Yue was concerned and immediately understood the importance of this thing in the Pope's heart! With a flash of his body, he appeared in front of Xie Yue and carefully took the cold metal weapon and the piece of paper with a devil's contract written on it. The hand was heavy, and the cold touch of the crossbow box seemed to carry the breath of death. He did not dare to neglect, and bowed to Bibi Dong again, and his figure disappeared silently into the study as if blending into a shadow.
The study became silent again. Only the faint light from the crystal ball and the heavy breathing of the three people below were left.
"The way of organization...ingenuity?" She repeated the sentence on the note in a low voice. Her deep purple eyes were like containing rotating nebulae, so deep that there was no end in sight. The corners of her cold and beautiful lips slowly curved into a controlling, cold arc.
“It’s a bit interesting...”
