Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1056 We are rats!
Today it is today.

The Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow has undergone several revisions.

Arrows condensed from soul power already possess multiple functions, such as explosion, fire, ice, and piercing. To achieve this effect, a slot needs to be installed on the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow, which can be used to replace the array plate of the Soul Guide Core Magic Array, which can attach various elemental energies to the soul power arrows.

Originally, Tang San had also envisioned assembling multiple elemental energy arrays directly onto the Soul Guidance Zhuge Divine Crossbow and installing a rotating wheel. To use any type of arrow, the wheel would simply be rotated to the corresponding position, connecting the array of the corresponding element to the Soul Guidance Core Array inside the Soul Guidance Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

However, after studying with Lou Gao and the other forging masters, Tang San discovered that designing it as a wheel would cause the parts to wear out faster and reduce their durability. Moreover, with the wheel design, changing the desired arrow required rotating it in sequence, which was far less convenient than the "pull out and insert" process.

Now, the trained Red Turban Soldiers can pull out and insert the array plates without even looking; they are all skilled through practice.

As all those wielding the Soul-Guided Zhuge Crossbow inserted the "explosion" array, countless soul-powered arrows shot out, triggering violent explosions that sent the more than ten thousand Royal Knights reeling! Their heavy armor was utterly ineffective against the explosive soul-powered arrows!

Under the relentless bombardment, in just half an hour, only a little over 10,000 of the 20,000 Royal Knights remained. Unable to hold on any longer, they retreated, protecting Avalanche and Snowstar.

boom!
Xiaolan replaced the explosion array plate on the Soul Guide Zhuge Divine Crossbow with an ice array plate, calculated the distance, and aimed it at the avalanche.

call out--

Sixteen Soul Power Arrows - Frost Arrows - shot out, most of them hitting the dragon-scaled horse under Xue Xing's mount and the surrounding Royal Knights, with two piercing Xue Xing's legs.

Centered on the arrow, ice burst forth, freezing everything within a radius of tens of meters.

"Come on!"

Seeing that Xuexing was frozen in ice, the avalanche could no longer care about anything else and could only retreat quickly in order to survive...
···
When Xue Xing regained consciousness, the first thing she saw was Dugu Bo, his face bruised and swollen, bound. She murmured, "Poison Douluo! You—"

When I moved, I realized that I was also tied up, and that my legs seemed to have lost all feeling.
"I lost."

As Dugu Bo spoke, he hissed and cursed Zhou Qing for taking things too seriously. Moreover, when he hit him, Zhou Qing used some method to prevent his injuries from healing quickly with his cultivation, and instead made him have to spend time recovering slowly. Really, he had no respect for his elders at all!
"This isn't a self-inflicted injury ploy. There's no need for it. If I really wanted to help the Red Society, I would have tied you, Xue Beng, and Xue Qinghe up immediately."

To prevent Xue Xing from becoming suspicious, Dugu Bo continued, "I really can't beat them, and because of my helping you, my property in Holy Soul Village was confiscated. It will cost a lot of money to buy it back."

Xue Xing gritted her teeth, knowing that Dugu Bo wouldn't joke about such things, and as he himself said—there was no need.

What's wrong with my legs?

At this moment, his physical condition was his biggest concern.

"It's useless."

Zhou Qing and Tang San approached.

It was Tang San who spoke, and he continued, "Because two icy arrows pierced directly into your legs, the cold air invaded your blood vessels and meridians, freezing your flesh and bones, causing you to lose sensation. If left untreated, they will fall off on their own in a year or two."

"My legs are useless!?"

Xue Xing's eyes were bloodshot as she glared fiercely at Zhou Qing and Tang San, screaming maniacally, "You! You deserve to die!"

“It can be repaired,” Zhou Qing said calmly. “With Tang San’s abilities, he can bring the dead back to life if he wants to, but he can certainly heal flesh and bone.”

In an instant, Xue Xing seized hope. Regardless of Chi Hui's attitude towards the Tian Dou Empire, she hurriedly said, "I'm willing to do anything to restore my legs!"

The glory of Tiandou?

The pride of the nobility?
Nothing compares to a pair of healthy legs!

In the past, Xue Xing cared about power and status, but only now, having lost both legs and realizing that she has become a cripple for the rest of her life, does she understand that all of that is meaningless!

Even if Xue Qinghe redeems him after he loses his leg, what good will it do? Xue Xing can already imagine being scorned by the other nobles, pitied by Emperor Xue Ye, and abandoned by Xue Beng! Especially Xue Beng, who, under his tutelage, has learned to feign and be opportunistic. Once he realizes he's crippled and can no longer offer him any help, he will inevitably choose to abandon him—

Discussing family ties in the royal family?

What a joke!

After last night's battle, Xue Xing clearly realized the strength of the Crimson Society. The Heavenly Dou Royal Knights were no match for them, and even if Emperor Xue Ye returned with his troops, they would still be no match for them!

The avalanche was the right thing to do!
These people intend to wait at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, where they will await Emperor Xue Ye's return, then engage him in a decisive battle, and ultimately conquer Xue Ye and Heaven Dou!
"Treatment? No problem, we don't need you to do anything for us, after all, there's really nothing you can do. But please tell us first, how many valuable treasures are you worth that your nephew would take out from the Heavenly Dou Treasury?"

Zhou Qing took out paper and pen, revealing a devilish smile...
···
Avalanche led about 10,000 Royal Knights back to Tiandou City. Seeing civilians gathered in the streets, he became agitated and led his troops to charge, resulting in many people being trampled to death.

In an instant, the people in the city were terrified, feeling that a great disaster was about to befall them. Many people began to pack their belongings and prepare to flee the city.

Since the walls of Tiandou City have collapsed and the number of patrol teams in the city is small, even an ordinary person with zero soul power can escape the city if they find the right opportunity.

But once caught, there's only one outcome: death.

To stabilize the situation in the city, decisive action is necessary; otherwise, the situation in Tiandou City will become even more chaotic!

Upon learning of Xue Beng's return, Xue Xing's capture, and the loss of nearly 10,000 from the 20,000 Royal Knights, Xue Qinghe rebuked him, "I only believed your nonsense! A night raid? How could you even think of that! In just one night, you lost 10,000 men, and they were the most elite Royal Knights! Every single one of them was a Soul Master!"

Avalanche dared not look into Xue Qinghe's fiery eyes, and lowered his head to say, "They have a very powerful crossbow-type weapon, which is also a soul-guided weapon, so we were defeated."

"Excuse!"

Qian Renxue had already concluded that Tian Dou was beyond saving and was ready to let loose. She cursed at Xue Beng, "You're good for nothing but causing trouble. All you do is talk the talk. You might as well be a spoiled brat! Get out! Go with Xue Ke!"

"Brother Emperor!"

Xue Ke ran in from outside the palace, called out, and then bowed to Xue Qinghe, saying, "Brother, please don't compare me to Fourth Brother. I am not entirely without merit."

"Little sister, that's not what I meant."

Perhaps because they were both women and had many things in common, Xue Qinghe's tone was much gentler, "But the situation in Tiandou is indeed critical! I don't know how much longer we can hold out until Father Emperor returns with his troops... If the Chihui doesn't directly attack now, it's like a cat playing with a mouse, and we are the mice!"
