My Cultivation Starting from Archery

The cave mansions in Yici Mountain Market are divided into two tiers, one is what was seen earlier, with dense coffins laid out among the forest.

The other is a large tomb.

The space of the tomb is larger, the density of Yin Qi is higher, and the coffins are of superior quality.

Chen Sansi is not accustomed to such Yin Qi, so he can only practice various skills within it while keeping an eye on the movements of others.

Zhao Xun's schedule is very regular, basically going into seclusion for ten days before going to the market to buy elixir pills once.

During this process, his appearance gradually changed, looking more and more like a living corpse, most likely practicing some corpse cultivation technique.

Such a stakeout continued until forty days later, Zhao Xun finished purchasing elixir pills at the market and did not leave directly, but planned to leave Yici Mountain.

The opportunity finally arrived.

Cao Zhi and his companion immediately followed.

Chen Sansi could clearly see that the one named Cao wanted to attack Zhao Xun once they were out of Yici Mountain's range, it was his perfect opportunity to use one person to get rid of another!

He formed a seal with his hands, casting the Blood Burning Technique, his controlling speed suddenly increased, bypassing Cao Zhi and his companion, reaching Zhao Xun's flank.

"Daoist!"

Chen Sansi shouted loudly, "Someone's following you from behind!"

"Is it you?"

Zhao Xun recognized the loose cultivator who had recently exchanged heavenly materials and earthly treasures with him, he hovered in mid-air with a frown, "You say someone is following me, what do you mean?"

Several hundred zhang away, in the clouds.

"Damn it!"

Cao Zhi, lurking in the mist, looked at the scene in front of him and cursed, "Who is this person who came out of nowhere? How did he see through us?"

"Then..."

Baili Zhe stammered, "What should we do now? If we start fighting, I'm afraid the people in Yici Mountain will quickly surround us!"

"It's come to this, we must fight!"

A Dragon Bone Sword, refined from spine, silently appeared in Cao Zhi's hand, and the dragon puppet beside him turned into a golden light, violently shooting forward.

"Mr. Zhao, be careful!"

Chen Sansi took out a magic artifact shaped like a Mo Blade from his storage bag, savagely hacking towards the golden light.

Zhao Xun summoned a Yanyue Blade identical to the dragon puppet's, standing shoulder to shoulder with the loose cultivator.

"Boom!"

The forces of both sides clashed together.

Chen Sansi and Zhao Xun were both sent flying backward, scattering countless clouds in mid-air.

Just one exchange was enough for both to have numb arms and chaotic breathing.

"Golden puppet?"

Zhao Xun exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that Cao Dongjun's dragon puppet? How can it be here!"

"Brother, come with me!"

Chen Sansi pulled the Eighth Prince onto his flying sword, using the Blood Burning Technique to escape towards Yici Mountain.

He deliberately maintained a certain speed to let the golden puppet think it could catch up, so it wouldn't give up.

Meanwhile, on Yici Mountain, coffins suddenly opened, countless corpse cultivators swiftly gathered towards this place.

"Junior Brother Cao!"

Baili Zhe shouted loudly, "If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave!"

"..."

Cao Zhi understood, gritting his teeth, he commanded the dragon puppet to retreat.

"Want to leave?"

Chen Sansi's hands formed seals as fast as afterimages, and array flags flew out of his sleeves, swimming through the air like azure carps, trapping Cao Zhi and the dragon puppet within, as the clouds above the sky surged towards them like a tsunami.

Second-tier Enchanting Soul Formation!

He is not merely a martial artist or cultivator, but also a talismanic master and array master!

Cao Zhi, deep within the sea of clouds, no matter how he flew, remained unable to escape this range.

"Dragon puppet!"

The Dragon Bone Sword in his hand shone with crimson light.

The golden puppet began wielding its long blade, true power flowing endlessly, blade lights ripping through the sky, trying to break the formation with brute force.

But due to Cao Zhi's lack of understanding in formations, the efficiency was extremely low.

By the time he forcibly broke out of the formation, the first group of corpse cultivators had already arrived.

The golden puppet slashed a few blocking corpse cultivators in half with one strike, then attempted to clear a path for its master's escape.

But just then, an orb of black Qi descended from the sky, like a black sun falling, fiercely crashing towards Cao Zhi's head.

The golden puppet hurriedly returned to shield its master, the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade slashing upwards, dispersing the black mist.

In the black mist was surprisingly a Golden Core Corpse Cultivator.

This corpse cultivator was rotund, with a cyan-tinted body, and had fierce tusks in his mouth, carrying a lustrous black tombstone on his back.

"Elder Deng!"

Zhao Xun shouted loudly, "Quickly take him down!"

"Boom!"

Without a word, Elder Deng had already raised the tombstone and was battling fiercely with the Dragon Puppet. Under his control, the massive tombstone continuously smashed down, moving so fast that the naked eye could only see its afterimages.

His realm was at the Golden Core Middle Stage, and being a formidable Corpse Cultivator, he wasn't at a disadvantage while facing the golden puppet of a martial artist.

More and more Corpse Cultivators gathered around, forming an alliance wielding rusty flying swords to besiege Cao Zhi and his companion.

"Brother, let's join forces!"

Zhao Xun said as he joined the fray.

Chen Sansi's figure flickered, and he appeared before the remnants of the previous dynasty, swinging a Mo Blade like ink, aiming directly for the head.

The puppet couldn't protect its master, and Cao Zhi was no match for him. Immediately, he summoned the talisman given by his ancestor.

"Heaven and Earth Strange Gate!!!"

He shouted, layers of Nine Palace Eight Diagram Array Patterns spread beneath his feet, and he said to his companion, "Let's go!"

"Help me!"

However, what responded to him was a cry of despair.

Senior Brother Baili was wrapped tightly by chains thrown by the Corpse Cultivators, unable to move despite struggling desperately.

He screamed, "Junior Brother Cao, save me!"

"Senior Brother Baili, see you in the next life!"

Cao Zhi hesitated not at all, activated Heaven and Earth Strange Gate, and swiftly vanished with the puppet.

Chen Sansi's blade fell, hitting nothing.

Damn it!

Falling short of success, he couldn't help but feel regretful.

To think that this scoundrel carried a talisman, and it was most likely a good item from the horse breeder.

Only Senior Brother Baili remained captured in the sky above.

"You scoundrel!"

Zhao Xun rushed forward, grabbing the opponent's neck, "Who are you, and why did you try to assassinate me!"

"..."

Baili Zhe, who was abandoned, looked bitter.

"Hmm?!"

With a large and thick palm, Elder Deng heavily pressed down on Baili Zhe's top of the skull, began exerting force, infusing streaks of black Qi forcibly into his body through the skull.

"Ah——"

Baili Zhe let out a heart-wrenching howl, his skin visibly losing its color, turning a corpse-like gray.

Corpse Qi!

Once this Qi invades the body, it can corrode life, causing a living person to necrotize starting from internal organs and meridians!

"I-I'll talk..."

Baili Zhe couldn't bear it, soon confessed.

"A cunning horse breeder!"

Zhao Xun cursed, "He actually wants to catch me for soul searching, to serve as evidence and let the Holy Sect issue an extermination order against my Song Dynasty!"

"It's not my fault..."

Baili Zhe pleaded, "I was merely following the sect's orders."

Zhao Xun wouldn't listen to his nonsense, slicing his head off with a blade, and only then did his rage slowly subside. He cupped his fist towards the Corpse Cultivator, "Thank you Elder Deng for your timely rescue!"

"Eighth Prince, you're too kind."

The Golden Core Cultivator showed him great respect, "But since the horse breeder has been eyeing you recently, it's better not to move around freely for now."

He cast his gaze to the side, "And this Daoist, is unfamiliar to me."

"Oh."

Zhao Xun said, "This fellow Daoist had interacted with me before, and thanks to his timely alert today, otherwise I might have fallen into the hands of that Cao fellow!"

"I see."

Elder Deng didn't ask further.

"This brother."

Zhao Xun said, "My surname is Zhao, given name Xun, may I ask your full name?"

"I am surnamed Sun, given name Yan,"

Chen Sansi casually fabricated.

"Mr. Sun is a Loose Cultivator?"

Zhao Xun invited, "Just right, would you like to join our Song Dynasty? I will guarantee you the position of Immortal Marquis in the future!"

"Song Dynasty?"

Chen Sansi feigned ignorance, "Brother Zhao means the court of Sky Water Continent?"

"Exactly!"

Zhao Xun said, "Don't consider our Song Dynasty as just a second-tier sect, soon, our Song Dynasty will become a true Immortal Dynasty! Joining the court only has benefits and no drawbacks."
