My Cultivation Starting from Archery

With a loud cry breaking the silence of the grassland, numerous torches were suddenly lit inside and outside the barbarian camp, forming a sea of fire that made the area for miles around as bright as day.

Chen Sansi was startled.

He was puzzled, for he was certain he had gone unnoticed.

It was not until he saw the barbarian soldiers converging in another direction, and heard the content of the shout, that he realized it was not he who had been exposed.

It was Wang Zhi and the others!

"How could they be discovered from so far away!"

Chen Sansi dared not linger and took advantage of the chaos to leave the camp.

But "Tracking and Hiding" was not the same as an invisibility technique.

The camp wasn't a lush jungle filled with hiding places everywhere; the barbarians had relaxed their vigilance earlier and the dim light had helped, but as he moved against the flow, eventually someone noticed him.

"Over there, everyone is chasing the enemy out of the city, what are you doing?!"

"Shwoo—"

Chen Sansi didn't bother with words and shot the man dead with an arrow.

"There's a Man from Dasheng! Over here!"

"Shwoo—"

Chen Sansi kept shooting the barbarians that came at him, while blowing a loud whistle. His white swan horse had been waiting for a while, neighing as it charged over.

"Good horse!"

He mounted the horse, and in a few seconds, he had left the pursuers far behind.

About three miles out,

Chen Sansi encountered Wang Zhi and his group.

They were retreating towards the right direction, with dozens of barbarian cavalry in pursuit.

"How were you discovered, why didn't you go back, but this way?!"

Chen Sansi shouted from atop his horse.

"Damn it, no idea!"

Wang Zhi cursed, "We didn't even dare to breathe heavily, we definitely weren't exposed!"

Xu Bin took over, "Not long after you left, a squad of barbarian cavalry, as if they knew someone was hiding nearby, blocked our retreat in advance and started a carpet-search!"

"Knew in advance?"

Chen Sansi thought of something.

"Luo Dongquan, I curse your ancestors!"

Wang Zhi was the first to say, "It must be that bastard who leaked information in some way!"

He had thought, by following 'Brother Shi', there wouldn't be any mishaps.

Unexpectedly, that surnamed Luo dared to pull such a stunt!

"Does such pettiness really exist in this world?"

Chen Sansi found it incomprehensible.

Initially, he was clearly the oppressed, yet it was made out as if he was stealing something from someone else's home.

It was the strong bullying the weak, with no logic at all!

"Da-da-da-da-da—"

To their side front, a group of Barbarian cavalry on patrol nearby, hearing the noise, rushed over to block the path.

"Puchi—"

Chen Sansi took the lead on his horse, stabbing to death the small flag leading them and yelled, "Form up, form up!"

For half a month,

they had been drilling daily.

The formation was practiced until it was second nature.

Eleven warhorses effortlessly formed a circular array, charging into the ranks of the blocking cavalry.

The Small Car Suspension Array.

Rather than like a wheel,

It was more like a circular saw!

Each horse and rider was a blade on the gear.

Among them, Chen Sansi and Wang Zhi were the sharpest two.

Xu Bin and Fang Buping came next, with the rest following.

With vigilant protection from all sides, there was no worry of sneak attacks.

Moreover, the twelve men shifted and alternated their positions.

Those with lower cultivation were mainly acting as rear guards against surprise attacks.

Chen Sansi could focus all his attention on the enemies ahead, and with each thrust of his long spear, he claimed the life of an enemy.

The group of twenty barbarian cavalry gathered were,

Not a few rounds later, all slain to the last man.

Zhuang Yi, Zhao Qiao, and the others experienced killing for the first time.

But seeing Chen Sansi's back, they felt supported, with no panic at all. The Small Car Suspension Array was maintained near perfect.

Mainstay!

With the Main General present, all were calm in the face of danger!

However.

Impressive combat skills notwithstanding,

The time delayed was enough for the rest of the pursuers to surround them.

"Whirring—"

From all around, came darkness like a pressing wave.

The number of people was unknown, the number of weapons, too; only a vast, boundless throng was visible.

"Hold the formation, don't panic!"

Chen Sansi utilized the ability of "Night as Bright as Day" to look for weak links in the encirclement and led the breakout.

Unfortunately,

This was enemy territory!

More so, the heartland of the enemy!

Escape was not so easily achieved.

Hundreds of barbarian cavalry launched an attack on them.

As the Car Suspension Formation revolved and attempted to break through,

The reaping speed was ultimately getting slower and slower.

The fallen bodies in front were nearly enough to trip the warhorses!

"Go—"

The enemy Generals followed one after another, speeding on horse from a hundred yards away.

"Households! Refining Organ Martial Artists!"

Chen Sansi recognized at a glance.

There were hundreds more pursuers behind the tribe leader!

Even if Chen Sansi's Qi-Blood were extensive and his Small Car Suspension Array combat skill formidable, he couldn't possibly be a match for a Refining Organ General, let alone the oncoming cavalry.

"It seems, today is really the day I meet my downfall!"

Wang Zhi beheaded an enemy flag-bearer with a single blow, his voice tinged with madness, "My death is insignificant! Brother Shi, you cannot die! Your horse is fast, we'll tear an opening for you; you might still have a chance to escape. Once you get back, devote yourself to your cultivation and avenge us!"

"Mr. Chen, Brother Shi! You go!"

Zhuang Yi and Zhao Qiao nearly said in unison.

"Damn your sentimentality, nobody needs to die!"

As Chen Sansi fought, he asked, "Fatty Wang, what stage were you at before?"

"What are you asking this for?!"

Confused, Wang Zhi replied, "Whatever my previous prowess was, it's useless now!"

"What I mean is..."

Chen Sansi thrust his gun butt backward, impaling an enemy soldier, "That Refining Organ, how long can you hold him off? After all, you've fallen from a higher realm; you should be much stronger than an average Bone Forging Perfection, right?"

"Naturally, my realm may have fallen but my saber technique remains. A usual Bone Forging Perfection is nowhere near my match! This barbarian leader is not as good as Xiang Tingchun! I can hold him off for a while!"

Wang Zhi, puzzled, "What are you planning to do?"

"Hold them off! Keep the formation intact at all costs! I have a way to get you all home!"

Before anyone could react,

they saw Chen Sansi swiftly turn his horse around and gallop in the opposite direction.

That was,

the barbarian base camp!

"Have you gone mad?!"

Wang Zhi wanted to stop him but was unable to.

"Hmm? Stop right there!"

Upon seeing the White Horse General change direction, the barbarian tribe leader quickly understood and immediately spurred his horse to chase after him, "To your death—"

"Clang—"

A loud metallic clashing noise erupted, shooting sparks into the darkness.

Under the terrifying strength of the Refining Organ Martial Artist, Wang Zhi, along with his horse, were forced to lean back, his arms trembling endlessly, but at least he blocked his opponent, "You barbarian scum, where do you think you're going?!"

"A mere Bone Forger dares to stop me? You're seeking death!"

...

"Stop him, stop him!"

"..."

Chen Sansi broke through in the opposite direction and, thanks to the divine speed of the White Swan Horse, after killing two Blood Refining Officers, nobody could catch up to him. As he approached the enemy base camp, he did not force his way through the well-defended main gate but headed to the weakest spot in the west. The White Swan Horse leapt over the two-meter-tall stake fence, bursting into the camp filled with tents.

Not long ago, he had figured out the layout of the camp,

This position was manned by infantry.

Infantry meant they couldn't catch up with or stop him!

The cavalry were on their way.

It would take about a minute.

Once surrounded, Chen Sansi would surely die.

But within one minute, reaching the destination before the encirclement was complete was a chance for survival!

"Charge——" Explore more at empire

Chen Sansi killed seven or eight infantrymen in succession, breaking into the Central Army Tent in just over fifty seconds.

Most of the soldiers along the way only saw a white shadow flash by, stirring up a cold gust of wind, having no idea what had just happened.

"Who?!"

Inside the tent.

The barbarian prince had just drawn his sword upon hearing the commotion when he saw a white war horse, knocking aside the soldiers guarding the tent and breaking in.

"Clang——"

He drew his sword and stood up: "Who goes there!"

"Protect His Highness!"

The Bone Forger who was left by the tribal leader to provide close protection to the prince immediately seized the weapon in his hand.

"Bang——"

But before he could react,

arrows shot out fiercely.

The Bone Forger had no time to dodge and thought to block with his arm, but was undoubtedly shot through the heart and died on the spot, with no chance even to exchange blows.

"To this prince's death——"

The barbarian prince was no pushover. He quickly reacted to the sudden situation, took a big step forward seizing the opening, and his Zhenyue Sword, glittering with cold light, slashed towards the Dasheng military officer on horseback.

Reed leaf long spear and Zhenyue Sword made contact, emitting a clear ringing sound.

The prince took several steps back, his treasure sword trembling and buzzing in his hand, nearly slipping from his grasp under the terrible force.

"What a mighty sword!"

The opponent was probably a small achievement in Bone Training, not as strong as Chen Sansi, but this strike actually notched his reed leaf gun blade!

"Protect His Highness——"

At the same time.

The Central Army Tent was completely surrounded.

Countless archers and crossbowmen, three layers inside and three outside, but due to the close distance between the two men inside, they dared not shoot.

A Bone Forging Perfection General staying behind with a long-handled broadsword rushed in, thinking to ambush from behind. He had just approached within seven steps when a silver flash appeared before his eyes.

His body hair stood on end, and he instinctively swung his sword to chop it down, barely managing to split the silver flash before it could bite his cheek.

"Such a swift spear!"

After just one exchange, the barbarian officer was drenched in cold sweat.

He braced himself, ready for the next move.

But the other side didn't bother with him; the target was still the prince.

"Clang clang clang clang clang clang!"

Chen Sansi's long spear in his hand rained down like a torrential downpour on his opponent, the sound of striking metal akin to forging iron. He could hear more and more people entering the tent, closing in from behind, their killing intent vast like an ocean, overwhelming!

The blood of the Dragon-Elephant surged wildly within him, his long spear transforming into a silver phantom, the blood vessels and meridians in his arm resembling an overloaded machine, so hot they seemed ready to ignite at any moment.

The prince could no longer withstand such a fierce assault, his right hand's palm bleeding profusely, his entire arm nearly numb, unable to hold the sword hilt, allowing the Zhenyue Sword to be flipped into the air.

At the same time, the reed leaf long spear tore through the flesh, chipping bone, piercing right through his shoulder.

The Zhenyue Sword in the air was firmly caught by another hand.

Chen Sansi reached the prince from behind an instant before the barbarian officers could launch their attack, placing the sharp blade of the Zhenyue Sword against the prince's neck, a thread of fresh blood trickling out, his eyes, red with fury, looked at the dense barbarian soldiers:

"All of you, back off!"
