My Cultivation Starting from Archery

Chen Sansi neither dodged nor avoided, the Silver Dragon coiling around his body, directly shattered all the Sword Qi, and then with a roar, it shot straight towards the heavens, the cold light aimed directly at the cultivator's face.

Jinyun gave a cold snort, the horsetail whisk in his hand suddenly enlarged, like a collapsing Heavenly Pillar bearing down, and collided fiercely with the ascending Silver Dragon, becoming locked in a stalemate.

Mana and True Qi collided, the aftermath visibly rippling through the air, distorting space itself.

With aged hands, Jinyun maintained the Dharma Seal, continuously imbuing his Magic Artifact with Mana, his face gradually revealing a look of surprise, "A Transcendent Warrior, able to contend with this old man?!"

"Transcend Mortality?" Chen Sansi's voice boomed like a bell, "Look again, what realm am I?"

"Boom——"

Behold!

With power surging beneath his White Robe, his long spear suddenly burst into intense flames, and an unknown scarlet flame had also risen.

Upon contact, Jinyun's horsetail whisk began to burn uncontrollably. Being a Wood Attribute Magic Artifact, it was perfectly countered by the raging flames and turned to ashes after barely two breaths. Fearing the flames would spread to his arm, he had no choice but to throw it away hastily.

Now seeing the white-robed figure entwined with flames, his pupils trembled, "You, you are already at True Power?!"

As a Magic Cultivator,

Jinyun's understanding of Martial Arts was limited; he only knew that Martial Artists at the True Power Realm could utilize the power of the Five Elements through Breathing Skill. The appearance of the figure before him was clearly that of a True Power Warrior.

There was also the possibility of some kind of fire-related Spell.

But prior to this, there had been no word of the White Robe being a Magic Cultivator.

In the midst of the battle, how could Jinyun spare a moment to use his Investigation Skill? After the destruction of his Lifebound Magical Artifact, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and made to escape atop his Immortal Crane.

The opposing army's supplies were about to run out, and they would soon collapse completely. By then, he could secure the Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein and complete the bounty task to obtain Foundation Establishment Resources. He could not afford to die here.

Just now,

After their exchange,

Jinyun's Lifebound Magical Artifact was damaged.

But Chen Sansi also fell back to the ground from midair.

Martial Artists cannot fly!

That was always a massive shortcoming for them.

The White Crane let out a cry as it flapped its wings, speeding towards the west. If it could just hold out a moment longer, it would meet the other Daoists coming to its aid.

On the ground,

White Robe pursued relentlessly on horseback.

But in the end, one was in the air and the other on the ground.

Until the spirit light shifted,

The White Horse neighed like a dragon's roar,

And then in a blink, it leapt into the sky, reaching a hundred feet in height. Borrowing strength from the White Horse, Chen Sansi took off again, rising another hundred yards against the surging True Qi, the long spear roaming the skies. Finally, he caught up to the White Crane, the Four Symbols True Qi flashing by in succession, eventually converging into one entity, forming the Divine Power Sky Dragon.

"Roar of Thunder——"

The ad hoc Defensive Magic that the old Cultivator Jinyun cast was shattered instantly like glass, a bloody hole exploding in his chest. The White Crane beneath him, its life snuffed out under the assault of True Qi, turned rigid as wood, and together with its master, plummeted straight to the ground. Only a few feathers drifted slowly in the air.

Dead!

Chen Sansi also began to fall, and mid-descent, he landed back on the horse, landing smoothly amidst the thunderous noise.

Having opened seven of the Eight Scenic Divine Cave's apertures, his strength had long been verging on the True Power Realm. With the assistance of Abnormal Fire, and the prowess of "Unrivaled," killing a Late-stage Qi Refining Practitioner came much easier than before.

"Master!"

The young man, faced with the corpse of the elder, instantly had bloodshot eyes. However, before he could act, an arrow pierced through him, nailing him to the ground.

Chen Sansi stepped forward and searched a storage bag out of Jinyun's corpse.

"Kill——"

In the chaos,

Chu Shixiong and his men were on a rampage.

"Retreat!"

Chen Sansi, seeing figures fast approaching from the west against the sky, gave the order.

"Retreat? Good."

After a moment of hesitation, Chu Shixiong promptly complied.

Out of more than fifty riders, only four had fallen in battle, and all the rest departed without issue.

...

West Qi,

In the Central Army Tent,

"Immortal Master!"

"Trouble!"

"..."

Zhong Wuxin burst into the tent, "Two hours ago, Chen Sansi led a band of men to the Vanguard Camp and killed the Vanguard General and that old Immortal Master."

"Loose Cultivator Jinyun."

Han Xiang looked up and asked, "A Late-stage Qi Refining Practitioner, how was he killed in such a short time?"

During the battle on the wild plains,

Chen Sansi, with his Transcendent Realm, had slain ten thousand enemies without tiring and instead became more valiant as he fought, eventually killing the Late-stage Qi Refining Sikong Chen. He was undeniably monstrous.

But that required time.

At that time, Sikong Chen suppressed White Robe for a long while.

That was why Han Xiang had arranged for Jinyun to be in the Vanguard Army. If Chen Sansi dared to come, they would only need to hold him off until other Cultivators could arrive to surround and kill him.

But this time, the killing was too easy?

Could it be...

"I know not,"

Zhong Wuxin said, "I only heard that during the battle, Jinyun mentioned something about a True Power Realm. When Chen Sansi attacked, he was also cloaked in flames. It's possible... he has reached the level above Martial Saint?"

Above Martial Saint!

True Power Realm!

"So soon..."

Han Xiang, who had remained composed, now showed a serious expression upon hearing this.

When Chen Sansi killed Sikong Chen that day, Han Xiang guessed that White Robe might have undergone breakthroughs during the process with Jingshen. He did not expect it to happen so quickly, which was utterly illogical.

But this Chen Sansi had never been reasonable...

"This person has broken through to True Power?"

Zhu Gui, at Qi Refining Perfect Realm, spoke, "This person was still able to kill Late-stage Qi Refining Practitioners at Perfection of Transcendence. Now that he has stepped into the True Power Realm, he will likely be tough to deal with in battle."
