Transmigration begins with archery training

"call out--"

Just as Amugu was about to finish him off, he noticed the movement coming from the flank.

He raised his hand and caught a willow-leaf arrow with perfect accuracy, easily crushing it. Looking closely, he saw a young general riding a white horse and holding a large bow not far away.

"It's you?"

The young man who single-handedly held off three thousand cavalry, as described by the cavalry in the rear, must be this very person.

"Good thing you came, it saves me the trouble of looking for you again."

"Take Wang Zhi away, I'll distract this man!"

"Lord Chen?!"

Zhao Kang and the others looked at the white horse with worry: "It's a meridian-opening technique!"

"Stop talking nonsense, do what your master tells you to do!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the leader of the Witch God Temple was chasing after the white horse, Feng Yong led his troops in a swift retreat while confronting Wang Zhi.

"That's true, that white horse is incredibly fast, it should be able to shake them off."

Zhao Kang hurriedly followed.

……

"You mere cultivator, yet you dare to block my three thousand iron cavalry? I'd like to see just how capable you are!"

Amugu instantly lost interest in the others and ordered his men to deal with them while he went at full speed to hunt down the young general.

"This horse?"

He quickly noticed the strangeness of the white horse the other man was riding; its speed and stamina far exceeded that of a normal warhorse, placing it among the ranks of exotic beasts, and it was probably priceless: "It's mine!"

The two are getting further and further apart.

Amugu snorted and leaped into the air, using his warhorse as a springboard to jump more than ten feet away and disappear into the dense forest.

Take a shortcut!

The white swan horse is quite large and cannot maintain such speed in the mountains and forests.

But if he dismounts, even with the "Light as a Swallow" skill, he still won't be able to outrun Tongmai.

“Rustle—”

The sound of rapid footsteps came from the hillside to the right.

The Church Master of the Witch God Temple unleashed a speed so fast that he became almost a blur, closing the distance with each blink and ensuring he would catch up before they entered the open area.

"Okay, Chihiro, you go first."

Chen Sanshi simply jumped off his horse, lit the torch carried by the horse with a tinderbox, and then used it to ignite the rockets containing oilcloth. He then repeatedly pulled the bowstring towards the afterimage, drawing the bow with lightning speed.

"Good archery skills!"

Looking at the continuous stream of arrows, Amugu exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Your archery skills are both top-notch, but unfortunately, you are not one of us from the grasslands! Don't waste your energy; even a bow with a draw weight of ten stones or more can't hurt me!"

He brandished his vajra, easily deflecting the rain of arrows, and pounced through the air like a tiger.

"clang--"

The reed-leaf spear and the vajra clashed together.

In an instant, Chen Sanshi felt an indescribable, terrifying power coming from the tip of the spear, which surged through his arms. The blood of the dragon and elephant danced wildly within his body, and he transformed into an indestructible body from head to toe. Even his arms, gripping the spear, emitted a metallic tremor.

Even so, he still felt a surge of intense pain, and the hardwood gun barrel swung back and forth wildly as if it were rubber, forcing him to let go and let it fall.

"Death!"

In an instant, Amugu arrived before him, his vajra piercing straight into his heart.

"clang!"

Another metallic clang rang out, like the tolling of a great bell.

Chen Sanshi held the Zhenyue Sword horizontally in front of him, barely managing to block the attack. He felt as if a huge mountain was crashing into him. He lost his balance and flew backward several feet before crashing heavily into a tree trunk. His internal organs were in excruciating pain. He forced himself to steady himself and landed with the Zhenyue Sword embedded in the ground for support. His right hand was still holding the torch, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

This is the first time I've been injured since I started learning martial arts.

It's not because he's weak.

Instead, the opponent is a master of meridians!

Meridian Unblocking, Mysterious Phenomena, Martial Saint.

In other words, the cultists in front of us are only one major realm away from becoming Martial Saints.

"Not bad, you survived two of my attacks, impressive!"

Amugu spoke, but gave his opponent no chance, and once again unleashed an astonishing speed to attack.

"Shhhhh-"

Chen Sanshi planted the torch upside down in the ground, then switched his weapon to a bow and arrow, lighting the torch, drawing the bow, and releasing the arrow in one smooth motion.

Amugu caught a rocket, and from his palm, an invisible and terrifying force was unleashed, which directly extinguished the flames and then crushed the iron cage into a twisted and deformed shape.

"call out--"

Another rocket is being fired.

"Won't shed tears until they see the coffin?"

Amugu used the same trick again, catching the arrow effortlessly. He intended to break it, but then he felt that the arrow was a bit strange and hot to the touch.

"Ok?"

"boom--"

A burst of crimson flames suddenly shot out, instantly transforming into a fire dragon several meters tall. The Church Master of the Witch God Temple didn't even have time to scream before being engulfed by the crimson flames and turning into a pile of ashes.

Chen Sanshi let out a long breath, slumped to the ground, and used breathing techniques to suppress the injuries in his body.

Ultimately, they had to resort to desperate measures.

He had already made thorough preparations.

Even if the arrows are useless.

The Zhenyue Sword had already been coated with lamp oil; all it needed to do was light it to cleave through anything.

He just couldn't bear to part with it and planned to use it last.

Even a mortal sword cannot withstand the fire of a celestial treasure.

It would be such a waste to burn such a fine sword.

As for exposure.

He had been keeping an eye on the other members of the witch god's cult and knew they hadn't followed.

Even if they come along.

There weren't many people, only a dozen or so. Killing the experts who had reached the Meridian Opening stage was nothing more than slaughtering chickens and dogs.

Those who didn't come along are lucky.

"Opening the meridians..."

Chen Sanshi saw that the man could use a unique power, which should be called internal force, and it could also be attached to the surface of the body or the weapon.

"I wonder if it can be attached to arrows."

"Otherwise, the killing power of bows and arrows is not enough to kill high-level martial artists."

“The refining process takes a lot of time.”

He still prefers the feeling of killing one enemy with one arrow.

"This is not the time to think about this."

Chen Sanshi ate some healing pills he had prepared in advance, then got up and scattered the ashes left by Amugu to make sure there was no trace left. Then he set fire to the nearby forest.

I felt a fuzzy sensation on my face.

After the battle ended, Chihiro automatically returned to him and rubbed against him, as if to express her concern.

"The injury isn't serious, you're fine, let's go."

Chen Sanshi picked up the reed spear, mounted his horse, and rode away.

……

The next day, the main force...

"what?"

"Unblocking meridians?!"

Sun Buqi stared wide-eyed at Tang Ruoshan, who lay there like a dead pig: "Where's Sanshi? You left him to deal with Tongmai alone?!"

"He ordered us to rescue Wang Zhi, while he himself lured away the Marrow Opening Master of the Witch God Cult..."

Zhao Kang and the others also looked worried.

But obedience is paramount in the military.

Since we've decided to recognize Chen Sanshi as our leader, we must obey his orders. We must go to our deaths when told to, and we must retreat when told to.
