My Cultivation Starting from Archery

"Xu Wencai!"

Chen Sansi grabbed the old scholar tightly, "I have a mission concerning the lives of everyone in the city that I entrust to you. Can you handle it?"

"I?"

Xu Wencai was startled but quickly nodded, "Rest assured, sir, I, Wo Long, can handle it!"

"Good!"

Chen Sansi whispered in his ear.

"Sir!"

Xu Wencai, with tears brimming in his eyes, said: "I will not fail the trust placed in me, even at the risk of my life, I will not let any mistakes occur!"

Secrets not closely held are easily revealed.

Chen Sansi did not tell a second person and, taking advantage of the heavy night, hurried to meet Han Cheng at the horse grounds east of the city before midnight.

...

The Hour of the Ox.

The small south gate of the city wall silently opened.

Three riders came and waited on a forest path outside the city.

The barbarian siege was not directly under the city walls but was set up in the open terrain. Due to limited numbers, it was not possible to completely seal off the area; there were still a few paths that a handful of people could use to break through and escape.

Not to mention, among the three people, there were two Refining Organ Martial Artists.

"How much longer until the Hour of the Ox?"

Magistrate Xue sat on horseback.

Tang Ming answered, "Half an incense stick's time."

"Ah, every one of you has such righteousness and loyalty,"

Xue Yuping said with a sneer: "One wants to bring his wife, another wants to bring his nephew. With such burdens, how can you achieve anything great?

"Mr. Chen can be spared, as he has been ennobled and rewarded by Imperial Decree! But what is Luo Dongquan?"

Initially.

Liang Shengzhi had taken the initiative to inform.

Afterward, Xue Yuping sent people to covertly find Luo Dongquan, and commanded him to lure Xiang Tingchun out of the city with the promise of sparing his life in return.

As for the Liang Family...

Everyone, top to bottom, had been silenced.

The rest of the martial arts halls involved in this matter had not yet been dealt with.

But in two days' time, the barbarians would divert thirty thousand troops from the main battlefield in Liangzhou, on top of which, experts from the Witch God Sect would secretly arrive; by then, not a single soul in Po Yang County would be spared.

"Households Han!"

Xue Yuping coldly commanded, "Once we're safe, dispose of that Luo as well. What a pity, we still haven't found the Immortal Treasure, otherwise, within three to five years, I could have joined the Cabinet! This time, Elder Yan will be disappointed!"

"Good, it really was Yan Liang's doing!"

In the darkness, a harsh voice rang out.

Another three riders appeared silently.

The person leading wore a crimson official robe, flanked by one person on each side.

It was naturally Dan Yuanzhi and the old servant of the Ji Family.

They both wore armour and held weapons in hand.

"Ji Guangxian?!"

Xue Yuping was surprised and said through clenched teeth: "What are you doing here?!"

"I've come to settle accounts with you!"

Ji Guangxian, pointing at his nose with trembling voice, said, "The city is under siege, yet you dare to kill Households Commander Xiang, damaging our main general's family! This is tantamount to treason and colluding with the enemy, it's outrageous!"

"Don't spout lies!"

Xue Yuping retorted, "Xiang Tingchun himself went out of the city and was ambushed; what does that have to do with us!"

"Bullshit!"

Ji Guangxian angrily said, "I've just been there and seen that the entire family of eight from Households Commander Xiang, including a five-year-old child, died at home. What, have the barbarians infiltrated the city and specifically targeted to kill only the main generals' families? Your Yan Party really has no conscience!"

"Do you think you are any better?!"

Xue Yuping no longer pretended and cursed, "Pretending to be pure, but what really are you? Aren't you just trying to grasp power and control the government!"

"Enough nonsense!"

Ji Guangxian said, "Today the evidence is irrefutable. Taking you down marks the downfall of the traitorous official Yan Liang!"

"You dare!"

Xue Yuping, fearing nothing, cupped his hands toward the direction of the Capital City, "Xiang Tingchun hoarded the Immortal Treasure, a crime deserving of death. What fault is there of ours?!"

"Immortal Treasure?!"

Ji Guangxian narrowed his eyes, "Does that mean, Magistrate Xue has already obtained the Immortal Treasure?"

"Not yet!"

"Bullshit! What exactly does your Yan Party want to do?"

Ji Guangxian shouted loudly, "The layout of the battle is so peculiar, I knew there was a problem! The Great Wall of An Ding Prefecture, how could it possibly be breached so easily! Is it your Yan Party's doing, are you trying to collapse the Great Sheng Dynasty?!"

Xue Yuping, losing patience, said, "Let's do this! Take them all down."

"You have two Refining Organ Martial Artists, so do I!"

Ji Guangxian pulled back on his horse as two bodyguards stepped forward to engage.

Two?

Xue Yuping chuckled coldly, looking toward the direction of the city walls.

Let alone the fact that no one present was a match for Tang Ming with Great Success of Refining.

He also had another one rushing over soon.

...

"Onward!"

Luo Dongquan spurred his horse frantically, with Song Yan closely following behind.

"Uncle, where are we going?"

"To escape!"

Luo Dongquan sighed deeply and muttered, "Xiang Tingchun was a fool! He was bewitched at the beginning, insisting on collaborating with the martial arts halls and concealing the matter of the Immortal Treasure. Now he has dragged me into this mess too! Take good care of the Jade Pendant I gave you, from here we part ways."

Song Yan asked in confusion, "Uncle? Am I not going with you?"

"No, I've changed my mind."

Luo Dongquan said, "I find this matter very strange. They're sneaking around as if they're hiding something major. The remaining two are Jinyi Guards; I, an outsider, am likely to be silenced if I get involved.

"After leaving the city, I'll follow them and say that I've given up on you. Head west overnight to distant relatives in Linjiang. If you don't receive a letter from me within six months, assume I'm dead. From then on, change your name and don't think about avenging me!"

"Uncle, let me go with you..."

"Scram!"

Luo Dongquan drove the other person away.

After leaving the city, he was about to head to the agreed location when suddenly, the sound of something sharp piercing the air rang beside his ear.

The reaction speed of a Refining Organ Martial Artist made him instantly alert, and he leaped straight up from the back of his horse.

"Hiss—"

An Armor-piercing Arrow struck the battle-horse, which tumbled and fell to the ground.

Luo Dongquan was about to see who had launched the sneak attack when the sound of arrows rang out beside his ear again.

Not just one...

But a volley!

Luo Dongquan swung his battle saber, creating afterimages as he chopped down the relentless arrows.

Who the hell can draw a bow so fast?

Anyone unaware would think they had encountered an entire squad of crossbowmen!

"Is it you?!"

Following the direction of the incoming arrows, he saw a figure hidden in a tree afar.

"Good, I'll kill you!"

Luo Dongquan's eyes were bloodshot as he cut through the arrows, swiftly closing in, until everything seemed to blur before him, feeling as if arrows filled the sky.

He roared furiously, bursting forward with astonishing speed almost becoming a blur. In the blink of an eye, he covered dozens of yards. Just when he was about to get close, a chill struck his thigh, and he almost lost his balance and fell. He had to burst forward a second time to regain his stability.

"Bang bang bang—"

In that brief pause, three more arrows struck him.

Luckily, his saber blocks spared him from fatal wounds.

Two arrows passed through his shoulder leaving behind translucent holes, and another arrow was lodged in his arm.

At the cost of severe injuries, he finally closed the distance. His He Miao Long Sword slashed furiously, aiming straight for his opponent's face.

"Clang!"

A long spear collided with the saber blade, sparking a dazzling fire in the darkness.

Both retreated several steps, widening the gap between them.

Before Luo Dongquan could steady himself, the sound of the bowstring, like a nightmare, attacked once more.

He had to swing his saber again to block.

This terrifying rate of arrow release made it difficult for him as a Refining Organ Martial Artist to get close!

In the world, could there actually be a special cultivation technique for archery?!

In an instant, he could release three arrows with a fifteen-stone bow, each arrow precisely devilish—what a concept!

Under such archery, the cost of forcing proximity was exposing flaws and becoming pierced by a multitude of arrows!

"I'll see how many arrows you have!"

Luo Dongquan dared not charge blindly anymore, swinging his He Miao Long Sword, hoping to wait until the opponent ran out of arrows.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

However...

By the time blood from his wounds soaked through his clothes, the rain of arrows had not ceased. The shovel-shaped arrowheads inside his body, due to the intense movements, nearly shredded his arm muscles. Even with a martial artist's robust physique, his speed was bound to slow down.

Once slowed, he lost the advantage of a common Refining Organ Martial Artist. More arrows lodged in his body until he could no longer hold himself up and crashed to the ground.

'Damn, emptied three Arrow Bags!

Chen Sansi had brought out five Arrow Bags and used up a whole three.

Luckily.

Luo Dongquan now lay on the ground looking like a porcupine, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, only exhaling without inhaling, his life clearly ebbing away.

Chen Sansi aimed at the head and heart, shooting two more arrows each, and after ensuring death, he went over and decapitated him with a sword.

'Had he not been so hasty, he could have held out against me for quite a while.'

'Of course, he would most likely still be worn down to death by me.'

'Sure enough, a Refining Organ Martial Artist!'

'Luckily, it's not Refining Internal Organs Perfection; otherwise, he would have been really difficult to deal with.'

It's said that Refining Internal Organs Perfection martial artists can enter a berserk-like state in a short time, running their bodies into overdrive while temporarily forgetting pain, fully capable of taking arrow wounds head-on.

"Li Dazhi, Xia Erniu."

Chen Sansi, holding Luo Dongquan's head: "This counts as avenging both you and myself."

He had prepared thoroughly.

The Vajra Body was not needed in the end.

The final card, Immortal Treasure Strange Fire, was also ready for use.

Of course, it was good not to use it, for every use carried the risk of exposure.

"Uncle!"

A few yards away, Song Yan, worried about Luo Dongquan, came back and witnessed the entire scene.

Chen Sansi also heard him approaching.

In fact.

Song Yan wouldn't have been able to escape even if he hadn't returned.

Mounting the White Swan Horse, it would've taken less than twenty minutes to catch up and kill him.

When dealing with matters, one must completely uproot the problem.

"Do you know what your uncle did?"

"I know, he deserved to die!"

Song Yan cried inconsolably: "But he was my uncle, and I still have to avenge him! Bring it on!"

"Puchi!"

Blood Refining Warrior.

Nowhere near a match for Chen Sansi.

The moment he rushed forward with his saber, his heart was pierced, and he fell into a pool of blood, breathless.

"Great, now I look like the bad guy again!"
