Several Barbarians rode their Warhorses, engaging in unspeakable acts right on horseback...
Chen Changsheng had only transmigrated a few days ago. Having lived in a long era of peace in his past life, he had never witnessed such a scene with his own eyes. A surge of fury instantly rose within him. But he did not move; the distance was too great.
Setting aside his terrible Archery, even a Divine Archer in the True Qi Realm couldn’t shoot the enemy from hundreds of feet away. It would only alert them.
County Captain Li’s low voice soon sounded by Chen Changsheng’s ear. "Nephew, there aren’t many of them. The two of us will approach the official road. Wait until they are within twenty paces. You go out first, and I will shoot a few before coming out!"
Chen Changsheng nodded, taking off his bundle and his Bow and Arrow. Holding his Long Spear, his figure blurred, executing a Flying Sweep toward the southern official road.
One of the Northern Barbarians, perhaps exerting too much force, caused the woman in his arms to let out a shrill, miserable scream. Her body then went limp as she tumbled toward the ground. The Barbarian frowned and muttered something, casually tossing the woman aside. Her head struck the ground, and her fate was instantly unknown.
Seeing this, the other Barbarians roared with laughter. "Hahaha! Ah! Ah!"
Chen Changsheng was currently trying hard to suppress his fury, attempting to quickly integrate himself into this chaotic world where Human lives were cheaper than a dog’s. Seeing the enemy enter the twenty-pace range, he no longer wanted to endure. His figure soared up from the tree canopy like a great eagle, executing a Flying Sweep toward the enemy.
In the blink of an eye, he had already crossed a distance of five paces. As his body began to fall, he shook the Long Spear in his hand and thrust it into the ground. The Long Spear bent and then snapped straight, propelling Chen Changsheng’s body higher once more as he lunged head-on at the Barbarians.
Seeing someone leaping through the air toward them, the Barbarians immediately knew their attacker was a Martial Artist. They hastily discarded the chickens, ducks, and women in their arms, reached back to grab their bows, and nocked their arrows, aiming straight at the target.
SWISH SWISH SWISH!
SWISH!
With ten paces between the two sides, eight arrows came striking over. There were also three Continuous Arrows shooting rapidly out of the woods.
Chen Changsheng was currently plummeting toward the earth as the eight arrows approached. Seeing that there was nowhere to borrow force to block them, he remained unhurried and executed a Thousand-Pound Fall. His body rapidly plummeted to the ground, narrowly evading all the arrows. Afterward, he unleashed the Soaring Cloud Step, his figure swaying left and right as he continuously charged forward to avoid the subsequent arrows.
"Ah!"
County Captain Li’s Continuous Arrows hit their mark. The first Barbarian tried to use his saber and shield to block the arrows, only to find his saber shot out of his hand. The second arrow exploded his shield, and the third shot straight through his throat. The source of this chapter is novelping dot com.
On the ground, Chen Changsheng had already arrived within two paces of the leading Barbarian on the left.
"Die!" With a furious roar, his eight-foot Long Spear darted out like a Poisonous Snake’s Tongue, blooming with clusters of cold light. Carrying a thousand pounds of tremendous force, it sent the opponent’s Wolf Fang Club flying, shattered their Wooden Shield, and pierced straight through their chest.
Spinning his body, he retracted the Long Spear, drawing an arc in the air. The spear’s tip flashed again, and two more enemies clutched their throats, falling unwillingly from their Warhorses. One was pierced by a Continuous Arrow, and the other was skewered by the Long Spear. His figure blurred again as the Long Spear, trailing a string of blood droplets, thrust toward the next target.
Ge Sang was an elite of the Nuorgeng Tribe, only one step away from stepping into the True Qi Realm. This time, breaking into Great Yan, he was different from the others; he came to snatch money. As long as he could rob three thousand taels of silver, he could gather the final set of Spiritual Medicine and brew the Qi-Introducing Potion, allowing him to step into the True Qi Realm in one fell swoop.
Thus, he did not toy with women, nor did he eat meat in large bites or drink wine in large bowls. He remained very clear-headed, and his reactions were extremely fast. When Chen Changsheng appeared, he accurately judged that the opponent was a Martial Artist and that these Bow and Arrow attacks would be ineffective.
Fighting head-on, he wouldn’t be able to defeat the opponent. Right after shooting his arrow, he immediately dropped from his Warhorse. Wielding his long saber, he used the Warhorse’s cover from the flank to circle around to the enemy’s left side. Sure enough, the opponent actually had a Martial Artist teammate firing arrows from the shadows in the woods. He lowered his posture, concealing himself with even greater caution.
He waited for the moment when the opponent killed his companion. By then, the Long Spear’s momentum would be fully spent, and it would have to be pulled back. That would be his optimal time to Attack.
"AH!"
"NEIGH!"
"BANG!"
"SQUELCH!"
Blood sprayed wildly, Warhorses neighed, and riders were thrown to the ground. Miserable wails echoed endlessly, yet he remained completely unmoved.
Chen Changsheng thrust again, sweeping aside the spear shaft of a charging Barbarian. The spearhead trembled, shattering the opponent’s Wooden Shield, and with a shake of the Long Spear, it pierced straight through the enemy’s throat.
Right at this moment, a chill rose from the soles of his feet. The shadow of death loomed over his heart! This feeling was very bizarre, as if he knew in advance that he was about to lose his life on the spot in the next moment. This story is hosted at novelping(.)com.
At this critical juncture, Chen Changsheng didn’t even think. He let go of the Long Spear and rapidly threw his body down toward his right side. Catching a glimpse of a cold glint from the corner of his eye, he channeled True Qi into his right foot and executed a reverse upward kick.
"Chang Sheng, watch your left!" County Captain Li’s anxious voice rang out, accompanied by three arrows tearing through the air.
But County Captain Li’s voice and arrows were clearly too late. A Sword Light flashed, slashing horizontally from under the horse’s belly on Chen Changsheng’s left side. With his body almost parallel to the ground at a height of three feet, only his head had yet to tilt away from the Sword Light.
However, in a hair’s breadth of time, his upward-kicking right foot struck the flat side of the Great Saber. The Great Saber flew uncontrollably high into the air. The Sword Light flew up, brushing right past Chen Changsheng’s throat.
SWISH SWISH SWISH!
The arrows brushed right past the Great Saber. Activating his Soaring Cloud Step, Chen Changsheng caught the falling Long Spear with his right hand in the blink of an eye. The Long Spear shook, piercing through the horse’s belly on the left and stabbing right into the enemy’s chest.
Chen Changsheng spun around, pulling the Long Spear back and swinging it upward. As his body soared higher, the Long Spear crashed down with a thunderous boom. Where the Iron Spear pointed, a pair of disbelieving eyes stared back.
Half a breath ago, Ge Sang had been ecstatic! The Martial Artist before him seemed to be a novice. Despite being a Martial Artist, the opponent’s superior five senses had unexpectedly failed to accurately predict his sneak Attack. Perhaps this was his grand opportunity. If he could unleash a full-power strike and harness the extreme exhilaration of killing a Martial Artist above his own tier, he could break through to the True Qi Realm today.
Therefore, he waited for his desired opportunity, unleashing a full-power strike the moment he made his move. But even though the opponent clearly hadn’t noticed anything and he was on the verge of landing a killing blow, that rookie-like Martial Artist had sensed the danger at the very last fraction of a second before his saber struck, managing to execute an evasive maneuver.
What was even more outrageous was that the moment he struck with his saber, the opponent accurately deduced the height, speed, power, and angle of his Attack. With just a single kick, he completely neutralized the fatal blow he had so painstakingly orchestrated.
Carrying endless doubts, the world before Ge Sang’s eyes turned blood-red. Then darkness descended as he crashed to the ground, and the very last sound he would ever hear in this world echoed in his ears.
"Hmph, a cornered dog is still just a dog."
"Die!" A Great Saber tore through the air, accompanied by a lingering, fearful roar, directly cleaving a Barbarian and his Warhorse into four pieces.
Chen Changsheng saw County Captain Li charge into the fray, even hacking apart the Warhorses he had always been so reluctant to kill. His heart warmed. Swaying his body, he thrust out his Long Spear once more.
Only this time, his figure did not pause anywhere. Whenever his Long Spear struck, his body would continuously shift positions, while his vision and hearing fully monitored every change in the surroundings.
"Ahhhhh!"
