My Cultivation Starting from Archery

The person exuding black qi did not show his face, instead hiding behind the shields near the city gate, lying in wait.

From the glimpse captured just now,

this qi was no weaker than many Meridian Passage Realm generals.

Qi Observation Skill doesn't directly describe the realm, it can only gauge an approximation, and since Chen Sansi was only at Refining Internal, his judgement was naturally limited.

If it were Meridian Passage...

Zhang Huaimin!

As a second-rate sect in Liangzhou, Seven Absolute Sect had only one Meridian Passage and four Hua Jins.

It could only be Zhang Huaimin.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Why would there be black qi on this person?

And it would surge at times and retract at others, not constantly present.

Was it from eating a Poisonous Beast or was it the power source that turned a fierce beast into a Poisonous Beast?

Chen Sansi did not approach.

Above Refining Internal was not within their duty, and with enough numbers, there was no need for showing off and risking danger.

As he continued to use his bow to reap lower realm martial masters, he used Qi Observation Skill to probe the rest, and in the end, discovered that only Zhang Huaimin had black qi, or at least he was the only one who had shown it.

"Brothers, charge!"

"As long as we can leave the Great Wall, we will be citizens of the Grassland Heavenly Clan!"

"..."

It had come to this.

The disciples of Seven Absolute Sect had no retreat, surrender meant execution, so they might as well fight to the death, seizing the last thread of hope, their battle power exploding in an unbelievable manner, comparable to Sinking Formation Death Will.

Unfortunately,

the disparity in brute strength was too vast.

The elite of the Flying Hero Camp had high combat quality and were led by many generals above Hua Jin, and in less than the time it took for two cups of tea to brew, of the 1500 Seven Absolute Sect disciples, only two or three hundred remained.

Now, the Selected Spear Generals who hadn't gathered enough numbers grew even more panicked.

Cao Fan, Wen Qiushi, Lu Shuhua, and others, disregarding the danger, rushed into the crowd to seek out and combat martial artists in the Refining Internal Realm.

"Halt!"

Wen Qiushi, wielding a pair of sabers, chased after a martial master who seemed to have just entered Refining Internal.

His ring-headed sabers swung up like twin crescent moons descending from the sky, one attack after another, each stroke overlapping and each move deadlier, seemingly endless.

Moon Splitting Saber Technique!

"Not a bad saber technique."

With the aid of the Qilin's Heart, Chen Sansi analyzed the opponent's moves, quickly discerning the essence of the technique and understanding its characteristics.

Of course, without sparring in person, just by watching with his eyes, he wasn't able to find a way to counter it.

This Wen Qiushi,

despite acting like a fawning dog all day, was like him at a small achievement of Refining Internal, said to be just shy of reaching Great Success of Refining, his saber technique also well-practiced.

No help for it, after all, he was the Young Master of Moon Splitting Mountain Villa with a father who was a Martial Saint.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

Wen Qiushi became like a spinning wheel of sabers, pounding incessantly at a sword from a Seven Absolute Sect disciple. Both were of a small achievement in Refining Internal, but the gap was substantial.

Unable to withstand ten exchanges, the disciple couldn't keep hold of his sword, which slipped from his hand, and he was cleaved into three parts from the middle, blood splattering everywhere!

Stay updated through empire

"One more Refining Internal left!"

Counting in his mind, Wen Qiushi rushed towards the city gate and noticed the figure hiding behind the shield: "Zhang Huaimin?!"

"Boom!"

A loud noise.

The heavy Mystical Iron Shield flew directly, smashing at him as if a steel mountain descended from the sky, leaving no place to dodge. Wen Qiushi's dual sabers struck out, going full force in a Blood Explosion State, and finally managed to fling the shield away.

But at the same time,

Zhang Huaimin, previously hidden behind the shield, had already reached him, his longsword aiming straight for the throat. In the blink of an eye, another spear blocked the blade.

"You go elsewhere!"

Guan Jizeng, holding the spear, said, "Above Refining Internal doesn't require your involvement."

"Thanks, General Guan!"

Wen Qiushi, still shaken, clasped his fists and quickly took his sabers to fend elsewhere.

"Zhang Huaimin!"

Guan Jizeng pointed at him with his spear, "Surrender! Even if you leave Dongyi City, the Great Wall still lies ahead, and even if you make it to the grassland, do you think the barbarians will respect you?"

"Enough talk! You dogs of the Elephant Sect, you all deserve to die!"

Zhang Huaimin roared, his longsword enveloped in a transparent qi, clashing with the general's spear. After more than a couple of dozen exchanges,

Both their realms were Meridian Passage.

But perhaps due to battle experience or specialized cultivation techniques, Guan Jizeng gradually gained the upper hand, and in a standoff of weapons, he found an opportunity and drove his foot into the enemy's chest.

With his Power wrapped in force, its strength was beyond ten thousand jins.

Zhang Huaimin, like a kite severed from its string, was flung away, slamming into the city wall, leaving an indent in the shape of a human, blood oozing from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Guan Jizeng was about to finish him,

"Damn it, the black qi is coming out again."

Having been observant, Chen Sansi sharply noticed the fluctuating black-red qi within the Seven Absolute Sect Leader intensifying, completely overshadowing his original colorless breath.

"Whoosh—"

Chen Sansi loosed an arrow from his bow, wanting to help Guan Jizeng finish the enemy quickly.

He might not understand the exact effects of the black qi on the human body, but knew it wouldn't be good, better to kill what can be killed fast.

However,

Zhang Huaimin, who should have been severely wounded, suddenly leapt up, under the influence of the black qi in his body, the qi around him steadily climbing until it almost materialized.

The same power had been manifested by Governor Liu before.

This is... Gang Qi!

Profound Image Realm!

"A breakthrough?"

Chen Sansi furrowed his brow.

Could black qi help someone breakthrough?

"What?"

Guan Jizeng saw it as well, "Zhang Huaimin, when did you break through to the Profound Image Realm? With your qualifications, it should take at least another ten years before you'd have a chance for a breakthrough."
