My Cultivation Starting from Archery

"You old bastard, you sure do talk a lot."

The voice from beneath Dugu Ao's mask was calm and indifferent: "Even among Demon Path Golden Cores, there are differences!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

A crimson-black Golden Core inlaid with gold was spat out from his mouth, emitting beams of light that enhanced the flying swords.

The power of the sword array suddenly surged, and the fierce beast that had been holding on wailed in defeat, vanishing into smoke as it was pierced by ten thousand swords.

The Jade Bone Elder staggered backward, his face showing shock and fear.

"How is this possible, I also have a Demon Path Golden Core, wait..."

He looked at the suspended external core and suddenly remembered, "This is the Reverse Life Gate's Nine Revolutions Golden Core Secret Technique, it... it's you! It's you!!!"

"I never expected..."

Dugu Ao looked at the old man, his voice tinged with weariness under the fox mask: "The one fish that escaped the net back then, I've run into you here. Truly, this couldn't be easier."

Jade Bone Elder felt as if he had fallen into an endless hell, too terrified to speak coherently, and turned to flee, only to see countless flying swords exploding with unprecedented sword qi...

...

At the same time.

Chen Sansi and the others were aboard a flying boat, escaping the range of Chongming City, encountering multiple assassination attempts along the way.

Fortunately, the opponents were few, mostly late-stage Foundation Establishment or Qi Refinement cultivators, and were easily defeated.

At this moment.

Chen Sansi stood at the bow of the ship, a yard-high alchemy furnace on his left shoulder, while his right hand held a stolen Heavenly Halberd.

Twenty more miles to pass through White Bone Mountain and cross Tongtian River, and they would be free from danger.

Yet, the closer they got to the destination, the more solemn Chen Sansi's expression became, showing no signs of relaxation.

Because...

Cao Zhi still hadn't shown up.

Could the opponent have lured him here just to use killing intent?

Just as he thought about this, a golden light suddenly appeared in the mountains below.

Golden Core Martial Cultivator!

In an instant, the golden light shot towards them.

"Dodge!"

Chen Sansi shouted, quickly positioning the alchemy furnace in front for defense before the golden light struck.

"Clang—"

The sound of a huge bell resonated through the mountains.

Rolling true power exploded, shattering the flying boat into pieces, and Qingxu Sect disciples retreated in panic to the sides.

Chen Sansi's body was uncontrollably hurled backward, falling from ten thousand feet high, embedding himself and the massive alchemy furnace into the thick earth, raising clouds of dust, leaving a gigantic crater.

He gritted his teeth, enduring intense pain to sit up and see clearly through the dust the appearance of the attacker.

"Family Head Bai?!"

The newcomer, clad in a black robe, had skin covered with scales of a dark sheen, a face of eerie ferocity, still recognizable, was the Puppet Bai Family Master Bai Liangbi, now refined into a puppet.

The Dragon Puppet wielded a pure golden broadsword, swiftly arriving and slashing down vigorously.

Earth Tunneling Talisman!

In a flash, Chen Sansi appeared ten feet away.

His mind flooded with various suspicions.

This puppet should be in the hands of Cao Dongjun of the Seven Kill Sect, why was it here?

Moreover, if Cao Dongjun were present, there'd be no reason for him not to join the attack.

Thus, it's highly probable this golden body puppet had already fallen into Cao Zhi's possession!

No wonder this bastard dared to make a move against me.

"Junior Brother Lu!"

Lu Zhiyong came beside him: "What, what is this thing? A Martial Cultivator of the Golden Body Realm?!"

"You all go ahead."

Chen Sansi didn't elaborate further.

If they are kept here for too long, the pursuing troops from behind may catch up, making all previous efforts in vain.

And in front of a Golden Body Realm Martial Cultivator, Lu Zhiyong and his men are of no use and might become a hindrance instead.

"What about you?"

Lu Zhiyong hesitated.

"I won't die!"

Chen Sansi raised his voice: "You just take the Alchemy Furnace and leave. As long as you return it to Si Xue Dao, it's four hundred Copper Coins. If you delay any longer, everything will be lost!"

As he spoke, he handed over several Wind-breaking Talismans to speed them up.

"Alright, then Junior Brother Lu, take care of yourself!"

Lu Zhiyong grabbed the talismans, hoisted the Alchemy Furnace from the ground, and left swiftly.

Chen Sansi once again tunneled underground to evade the attack.

But this time, he couldn't escape so easily.

Bai Liangbi's body surged with True Power, transforming into a radiant Golden Body, his golden blade resounding like a Jiao Long, slashing forward almost in the instant Emperor Tianwu tunneled underground, the blade light cleaving mountains and splitting earth, penetrating the rocky soil.

Underground, Chen Sansi wielded the Heavenly Halberd, barely fending off the blade light. The Earth Tunneling Talisman was interrupted, and the soil which once flowed like water became impossibly hard, trapping his body within.

He couldn't see outside, but he could feel the overwhelming True Power approaching.

"Rumble——"

Chen Sansi shouted, bursting from the ground like a bolt of lightning, returning to mid-air.

Without any chance to catch his breath, Bai Liangbi, wielding the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, charged at him again.

"Good timing!"

Chen Sansi decided to stop avoiding. The earlier clash made his blood boil, his heart and liver transformed into transparent Spiritual Power, an unending torrent of True Power surged forth, enhancing the Heavenly Halberd.

He needed to buy time for Lu Zhiyong and the others while testing the gap between himself and the Glazed Gold Body Realm!

Blood Burning Technique!

"Bang!"

Chen Sansi stamped his foot, his body became a blur, in an instant arriving before the Dragon Puppet, raising the Heavenly Halberd infused with surging Water Element True Power, like raising the Tongtian River to flood the earth.

This pseudo Golden Body Realm Martial Cultivator Puppet, left only with combat instincts and no distractions, was supposed to easily block a True Power Realm Martial Artist's move. But in its eyes, the halberd edge should have been successfully blocked, yet it missed, and by the time it came to its senses, a towering wave had already slammed down.

Extreme Divine Power!

But no matter how one puts it, there was a hard power gap between the two.

Bai Liangbi didn't bother to withdraw his blade to block, instead, he raised his right arm, palm-like a dragon claw, unleashing overwhelming True Power, launching a ferocious claw over his head, tearing the flooding ocean apart, forcibly dragging out a Jiao Long from the boundless sea, pinning its head down firmly.

This Jiao Long turned out to be the Heavenly Halberd in Chen Sansi's hand.

True Power surged rampantly, Bai Liangbi's robe shredded piece by piece, revealing a golden, radiant demonic dragon arm to the view.

He held the Heavenly Halberd firmly, the hard scales covering the dragon claw clashed with the halberd blade, producing a piercing metallic wail, until cracks began to appear on the surface of the Heavenly Halberd.

Nine feet, Milky Way!

In mid-air, Chen Sansi shouted, even his pupils and seven orifices completely submerged by the tsunami, the Water Element True Power on the Heavenly Halberd surged again, but it couldn't make the Dragon Puppet step back even a little. Instead, cracks increased on the Heavenly Halberd until it shattered completely.

"Boom——"

He retreated forcefully, the arm of the Vajra Body embedding into the ground, stabilizing his form with one knee on the ground, as a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The brief clash had given Chen Sansi a clearer understanding of his current power.

Even if he exerted his full strength, he was likely no match for a Golden Body puppet, the gap mainly lying in the richness of True Power.

If he reached the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, coupled with True Power Perfection, even if he couldn't defeat a Golden Core but could retreat unscathed after the fight.

Thinking of this, Chen Sansi no longer continued to engage.

Seeing the puppet charging again, he formed a sword control sign with his hands, soaring into the air, activating the Triple Blood Burning, his entire being suddenly transforming into a Light of Escape, leaving the puppet far behind, merging into the clouds, disappearing without a trace.

In the forest several miles away, where Cao Zhi had been lurking, ready to act at any moment, he was taken aback.

"Sigh!"

He threw away the half-eaten fruit in his hands in frustration: "He got away!"

"But is this guy really my brother?"

"Doesn't matter, I still have to find another chance to kill him."

Thinking so, Cao Zhi was about to leave when he suddenly heard the sound of swords ringing, catching in the corner of his eye a man wearing a fox mask silently appearing beside him.
