Chapter 1045: Smoke Rises (VI)
The cultivators operating the divine crossbows looked at the demonic clouds in the distance and merely fell silent for a moment. They did not turn the divine crossbows toward them, but kept them aimed at the area before the city wall.
Ordinary divine crossbows were all but incapable of harming great demons, and they had no intention of wasting crossbow bolts on something meaningless.
Behind the city wall, only now did several divine crossbows slowly raise their aim.
Unlike the ordinary divine crossbows, these few possessed an exceedingly terrifying aura, completely different from that of the ordinary ones.
The cultivators operating these divine crossbows were also clearly much stronger than those operating the others.
In fact, all of them were in the Great Beyond Realm.
As early as more than two hundred years ago, when the founding emperor of Great Liang resolved to build the Great Wall to resist the demon race, he had already considered one problem: those powerful demons relied on their high cultivation realms, and no matter how tall the wall was, it could never stop them.
Thus, the divine crossbow came into being. By engraving runes onto the crossbow carriage and having cultivators of considerable cultivation infuse it with their qi, each fired crossbow bolt was the equivalent of a daoist talisman.
The craftsmen of the Ministry of Works used this method to create divine crossbows powered by a cultivator's qi, capable of matching the power of some talismans written by daoist cultivators.
