Chapter 126 Regain prestige, the heart of the Qilin!
The sudden incident lasted only a moment, like a bolt from the blue. After it ended, the sky was still clear. If it weren't for the few pools of blood and flesh on the ground proving what had happened, tens of thousands of people would probably have suspected that it was an illusion.

Martial Saint!

Martial Saint!
Not to mention in Liangzhou, even in the whole world, he is considered a top-notch strong man.

In front of this old man who was nearly a hundred years old, he was not even a match for him. To be precise, he was not even a match for one round. He could not even be called an enemy. It was just like crushing an ant.

Although Sun Xiangzong had not taken action for more than ten years and was already a candle in the wind in the eyes of everyone, waiting to be buried in peace, the thundering blow from him at this moment was like a loud bell ringing in everyone's heart, shaking their hearts and lungs and making them unable to calm down for a long time.

"mighty!"

"The commander is mighty—"

Inside the military city.

After half an incense stick of dead silence and shock, someone in the crowd shouted a voice that had not been heard in ten years.

"Supervisor's divine power!"

"Crash, la, la, la-"

this moment.

One hundred thousand elite soldiers knelt on the ground together, and the sound was like thunder, echoing throughout the entire Liangzhou city.

This day.

Sun Xiangzong, who was already in his octogenarian years, used the life of a Martial Saint to pick up the prestige that he had deliberately given up and then easily got back!
Today's layout is the court's attempt to seize power.

Isn't this Sun Xiangzong's strategy of taking advantage of the situation?
After today.

The rumor among the people that “Xiang Zong is old, can he still make a living?” may turn into “Xiang Zong is old, does he still want to rebel?”
"Supervisor's divine power!"

The sound waves became louder and louder and did not stop for half an hour.

Some older soldiers even cried for joy, and finally started to cry with their heads in their hands.

Some of them had followed Sun Xiangzong since they were young.

Now I’m in my forties or fifties, and I’ve basically followed it all my life!

Until the silence fell in these years, everyone saw with their own eyes that the commander was getting older and older, and he was less and less responsible for military affairs, and he could leave them at any time.

It’s no wonder that people think this way.

This is the case.

In the past, how could Commander Sun allow any governor or military supervisor to exist around him, let alone hand over three of the eight camps to others.

By doing this, isn't it telling everyone that you are ready to retire and return to your hometown?

Many people could see that today's farce was intended to make things difficult for the commander.

If Sun Xiangzong did not fight back, raised it high and then put it down gently, they would be completely disappointed.

But now, the soldiers understand that the commander-in-chief is still the same commander-in-chief!

Over the years, the supervisor just took a break.

Now that I have had a good rest, I am back!
For a time, driven by this atmosphere, officials from the three northwestern states and the capital almost followed suit and knelt down. It was not until the last moment that they realized that they were not under the jurisdiction of Sun Xiangzong and almost committed the crime of usurpation.

……

"Smashed."

Cao Fan's heart sank.

The trap they designed with great effort turned out to be a pit for themselves.

Sun Xiangzong's prestige had declined in recent years, but after this incident, it has all gone back to normal. If the imperial court wants to take over the Eight Camps again, it will not only face a lot of trouble, but it will also have to depend on the old man's mood in the end.

"Is that human being……"

Yin Hanwen, Wen Qiushi and others were still immersed in the fight just now.

Martial Saint, that’s the Martial Saint!
They didn't even see what happened and it turned into rotten meat?
No wonder so many martial arts geniuses from all over the world come to participate in the selection. Who doesn’t want to learn from such a person? He is the saint of martial arts!
Cao Fan's eyes were filled with desire.

He is determined to win the championship!

……

"Blue air..."

When hundreds of thousands of people were in shock, Chen Sanshi used the art of observing qi to see the difference between a Martial Saint and those above a Martial Saint.

He saw it with his own eyes.

When Commander Sun made his move, a Qingxuan aura clearly emerged from his body that was completely different from that of everyone else. No wonder the Martial Saint couldn't withstand even one move.

How to fight when the sources of power are different?
Moreover, although Chen Sanshi noticed the spear for only a brief moment, it was this fleeting glimpse that made him feel amazed at the weapon for the first time. It was much better than the Zhenyue Sword, and he even felt that there was no other spear of the same quality in the world.

Besides, where did the weapons come from?
He was sure that the commander-in-chief had never carried any weapon with him, and no one had given it to him when the incident happened, as if it had appeared out of thin air.

Chen Sanshi looked carefully again.

Sun Xiangzong's clothes were all patched up, but the shiny silver ring on his right thumb looked of extraordinary value, perhaps even a magical item.

……

"Sun Xiangzong!"

Liu Zhongxian called him by his name: "You are so brave! General Ning is a first-rank official appointed by the imperial court. What right do you have to kill him?"

"Commander, you are too reckless in doing things."

Eunuch Hou came to his senses and accused him with lingering fear: "Aren't you afraid of being punished by the court?"

"The letter of apology has been written in advance and handed over to Eunuch Hou. You can just give it to His Majesty. I will bear any punishment."

In the blink of an eye, Sun Xiangzong returned to his appearance as the old man at the village entrance.

He turned around a little hunched over and said, "Old Four, are you okay?"

"Master, you worry too much."

Fang Qingyun looked normal.

"Have you finished writing the memorial?"

Eunuch Hou took out from his arms the memorial that the commander-in-chief had given him before the selection of the vanguard began. Wasn't it about expanding the army? Could it be that even the killing of Ning Changqun was written in advance?

What if there was no such scene today?
Ning Changqun would also die before the memorial was sent to the capital? !

Governor Liu and Eunuch Hou looked at each other, and they had already drafted countless impeachment memorials in their minds.

What on earth does Sun Xiangzong want to do!
these years.

The old guy has always been cooperating in delegating power, but today he suddenly did this. What does it mean?
Regret it?!

"Both of you."

Sun Xiangzong looked at them again and said slowly, "I am helping you. Ning Changqun is causing trouble for the elite team. If we don't deal with him seriously, how are you going to take over in the future?"

"..."

Governor Liu and Eunuch Hou didn't know how to respond.

Does this mean you have no regrets?
Killing Ning Changqun is to establish authority and prepare for the next fight against the barbarians?
Is the price too high?

Martial Saint!
"Commander Sun!"

Governor Liu bravely said: "Even if Ning Changqun dies, the capital will still send people to take over the Yunzhong Camp and the Tianlang Camp. The subsequent expansion of the army and personnel arrangements should also be handed over to the court and the Ministry of War!"

"Okay, I've never refused you, so you don't have to speak so loudly."

Sun Xiangzong hissed and suddenly remembered something: "Master Liu, Eunuch Hou, do you think Ning Changqun was also being instructed by someone?"

The atmosphere, which had just eased, dropped to freezing point again.

Eunuch Hou leaped up like a dragonfly skimming the water, and came directly to a distance of a hundred feet. Then he quickly said, "We don't know! Even if there is, it has nothing to do with us! It was we who read out the imperial edict of Lord Chen, how could we harm him!"

He really wasn't involved.

But one can also guess that it was arranged by someone from the prince's side.

"Eunuch Hou's Qinggong is quite good."

Sun Xiangzong praised and looked at Governor Liu: "Sir Liu, what do you think, is there anyone behind Ning Changqun?"

"I don't know!"

Liu Zhongxian's voice was trembling, and he wanted to quickly distance himself, but when he turned around, he saw Meng Guangxin and two other generals blocking his way.

"Commander-in-chief! I really don't know. It's probably Ning Changqun's own idea. He's a martial saint, why would he need anyone else's instructions?"

As he was talking incoherently, he saw the old man slowly walking towards him.

“Sun Xiangzong! What you are doing has nothing to do with me! After we go down, I can continue to help you investigate and find out clearly. You… don’t come over here, don’t mess around!”

Panic, fear, and guilt.

All kinds of emotions mixed together and finally became the driving force for self-preservation.

"boom--"

Facing Sun Xiangzong's big hand, Liu Zhongxian seemed to see a big "death" word. The internal energy in him exploded, the scarlet official robe on his body swelled, the black gauze hat on his head was blown off, and even his hair exploded and stood upside down. The marble under his feet exploded inch by inch. He burst out with all his strength to face the next crisis.

But his internal energy was as fragile as paper in front of that old hand. Not only could he not block it, he couldn't even slow it down.

"I...I really don't know!"

Liu Zhongxian refused to give in. His eyes were bloodshot and there was even a hint of crying in his voice. The memories of his life flashed through his mind quickly, how he practiced martial arts, how he entered the official career, how he was appreciated, how he came to where he is today, becoming a second-rank official, and how he still had a wife and children at home in the capital.

at last.

The big hand still fell unstoppably.

At the last moment, Governor Liu was disheartened. He retracted his protective energy, closed his eyes, and waited for death to come.

However, when the big hand landed on his shoulder, nothing happened. It just patted him lightly twice, and an old and calm voice sounded in his ears.

"Why are you so excited, Lord Liu? I never said it has anything to do with you."

After saying this, Sun Xiangzong put his hands behind his back and walked away slowly until he disappeared from everyone's sight.

On the high platform.

Liu Zhongxian, a second-rank official who was at the Xuanxiang realm and had broken through to the Martial Saint level in the past two years and was highly expected by the court to take over the government affairs of Liangzhou in the future, stood there with disheveled hair and looked extremely embarrassed. He did not move for a long time, but just stared blankly ahead, as if he were stupid.

"Coward!"

Meng Guangxin sneered and said, "What kind of hero is he who has been showing off his power in recent years?"

"Pfft!"

Governor Liu collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

"It's useless..."

In the distance, Cao Fan couldn't bear to watch: "The governor is going to be replaced. This is no different from being dead. He can still control the troops!"

……

"Someone, quickly take Lord Liu down to have a good rest!"

Fang Qingyun stayed behind to preside over the situation: "Everyone, the incident happened suddenly and the person was killed, but there is still a lot of things to deal with next, so the selection of forwards has to be suspended for a day. Those who have not yet taken the assessment can go back and prepare well and think about how to break the formation. Everyone, disperse now."

Driven by the soldiers.

Everyone finally came to their senses from what had just happened and left one after another.

"No weapon."

After most of the people had left, Fang Qingyun asked alone, "Do you understand?"

"I see!"

Sun Buqi nodded seriously: "These people wanted to seize my father's military power, but they lost miserably! But why didn't they continue to investigate? Why didn't they kill Governor Liu?"

“Is it still necessary to check?”

Fang Qingyun smiled and said, "It was obvious from the beginning who did it. We should be flexible in doing things. As long as we achieve our goal, we win. Sometimes, killing everyone will be counterproductive."

There is no problem in killing Ning Changqun.

Keep killing...

It means declaring war on the imperial court.

After all, the Eight Major Battalions are not yet qualified to turn against the imperial court, and regaining their prestige would be a great success.

No matter how many people the imperial court arranges to come, it will not be possible to seize power easily, let alone undermine the rule.

"I've long disliked them, especially Ning Changqun. He always acts very arrogantly no matter where he goes or what he does. I heard that when we were fighting the barbarians a while ago, he even mobilized troops without authorization and disobeyed the overall arrangement. Although he made contributions, it was obvious that he was just trying to seize power."

Sun Buqi touched his chin and said, "But Senior Brother, why didn't my father do this earlier? Why did he have to wait until now?"

“Nothing in the world is static.”

Fang Qingyun patiently taught: "When doing anything, we need to decide according to the changes in the situation. After ten days in Yunzhou, the matter of the barbarians can't be delayed any longer. And there is also the reason of Junior Brother Chen."

"Three stones?"

Sun Buqi was surprised and asked, "Is it related to him?"

"Ah."

Fang Qingyun did not elaborate, but asked, "Okay, you have seen what you should see. Brother, let me ask you, what did you learn from today's scene?"

"My father is amazing!"

Sun Buqi thought for a while and gave an answer.

"..."

For a moment, Fang Qingyun almost felt like his legs were healed and he could jump up and hit someone.

……

"Congratulations, sir!"

"The first A-class!"

"..."

When leaving, many people came to congratulate him.

Chen Sanshi was not very happy.

He was already more than 90% confident of passing the first two levels, but it was hard to say about the actual combat that followed. The competition was the most difficult part, and he had to quickly break through to the minor level of organ refining.

Fortunately, due to this incident, the forward selection was suspended for two days, which was enough time.

When we arrived outside the military city, Chihiro was already there to greet us.

Along the way, Chen Sanshi was also recalling what happened today.

In fact, no matter how you fight openly or secretly, in the end you cannot escape one rule, that is, only the truly strong can win the game.

It was obvious that Commander Sun wanted to use the life of the Martial Saint to establish his authority.

First of all, one needs to have the strength to crush the Martial Saint.

That shot was truly shocking.

No wonder people all over the world are scrambling to get this true teaching.

Also.

Chen Sanshi was also curious about one thing.

Isn't the old emperor also practicing Taoism? He must have made some achievements, and may even be on par with Sun Xiangzong, which is why he has been able to maintain the stalemate for so many years.

Otherwise, even if only one side had a clear advantage, the current embarrassing situation would not have occurred.

But suppose.

If the old emperor also had a way to break through to a level above the Martial Saint, why didn't he teach it directly to his sons and grandsons, but instead asked them to learn from Sun Xiangzong?
unless.

The emperor's methods are only used by himself.

Although Sun Xiangzong’s methods are not very extensive, at least they can be used by a certain group of people.

"The third big question is to go into battle, which means actual combat."

Chen Sanshi recalled the Dongyi City he passed by when he came to Liangzhou. He didn't know what specific method of assessment was used, but it would be a good idea to improve his cultivation as soon as possible.

After arriving home, he found that there was a guest, his goddaughter Xu Yuhuan.

Tong took her daughter to the Taoist temple outside the south gate of Liangzhou City to pray for blessings.

Since the soldiers lived in the north of the city, it was too far to go back and forth, so after they were done they settled down in the relatively nearby Chen Mansion. The third courtyard was originally empty, and since they were related by marriage, there was no problem for them to stay there for a long time.

"Yuhuan, come and let your godfather hug you."

Chen Sanshi reached out and held the little girl, who could only whimper, in his arms.

"Brother Shi, don't scare the child!"

Gu Xinlan wanted to grab the child: "Go wash first."

Chen Sanshi reacted and realized that he had just killed many people and his body and face were covered in blood.

The little girl was not afraid at all. She giggled and scratched his face with her hands.

Only then did Gu Xinlan feel relieved.

Chen Sanshi said, "Sister Lan, take the gold in a few days and find some craftsmen to make a gold lock for Yuhuan. As her godfather, I have never given her a gift."

He is now considered a wealthy man, with plenty of gold and silver.

"My lord, you are willing to be my godfather, which is already a great honor for my family. And this is costing you a lot of money..."

Tong was speechless: "I really hope my wife can fight for her dignity and be of some use to you, adults."

"Brother Bin is fine."

Chen Sanshi said: "In today's assessment, he was also very steady and helped me a lot."

Things like qualifications have a fixed upper limit.

It doesn't mean much to the soldiers.

After arriving at the Eight Camps, he was given a large amount of ordinary tonic medicine. The realms of his subordinates were rapidly improving, and it wouldn't take Xu Bin too long to be able to practice bone building.

It’s a pity that there are not many talented people who can grow to a certain level.

unless……

Use Linghe, or combine it with equipment that comes with Linghe.

【Determination to die in battle】Ah!

If Chen Sanshi really needed to train high-level military generals, he would naturally give priority to training these loyal brothers from Poyang.

But I don’t dare to use Linghe for the time being.

Especially after seeing the strength of the commander.

Wait a minute.

At the very least, we need to wait until he is no longer afraid of others coming to him.

Chen Sanshi was teasing the maid while the two women were chatting in the yard.

"Xinlan, the masters in Ciyun Temple are amazing. Praying to them will work!"

"is it?"

"Yes, ever since I got the jade ring, I feel very tired every day. Today, I went to Ciyun Temple and I felt refreshed."

"so smart."

"Ciyun Temple is the most popular place in Liangzhou. Not only us, but also high-ranking officials and martial artists from large sects like to go there. I even met one today. I heard that he is the owner of Pi Yue Villa, a martial arts saint, and he is very powerful."

Tong looked at Lord Chen in the distance and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Xinlan, aren't you also planning to ask the general for one?" "Yes."

Gu Xinlan's cheeks flushed slightly: "There's still no movement."

She murmured in her heart, it has been half a year since the wedding, and the two of them have been busy all the time, so why is there no sign of pregnancy yet? She was a little worried that there was something wrong with her. What if she couldn't have a baby?

"Next time, come with me to Ciyun Temple."

Tong held her hand and said, "There are many people who are praying for children there. I heard that it works. It's just right for you to have a child with General Chen, so that you can have Yuhuan as a companion. By the way, you can bring General Chen with you. I heard that the effect will be better."

"Okay."

Chen Sanshi took over the conversation.

He didn't want to listen, but his hearing was amazing and he could hear it clearly since they were in the same yard.

"But it will take a few days. I've been busy with the striker selection recently. When the selection is over, I'll go shopping with Sister Lan and Sister Tong."

Chen Sanshi also listened with some interest.

The entire Liangzhou city went to the Taoist temple, especially the Martial Saint.

Even though he saw the Martial Saint being killed instantly today, he would not think that the Martial Saint was incompetent because of this. After all, his combat power was among the best in the world.

We can only say that Sun Xiangzong is too evil, but we cannot say that the Martial Saint is too weak.

"Sister Tong."

Chen Sanshi asked curiously, "You went there to pray for peace, but what did the martial arts master pray for?"

"like……"

Tong recalled carefully: "I also pray for peace."

“Pray for peace too?”

Chen Sanshi felt even more curious and even a little weird.

People who practice martial arts rely on their own hands to pray for safety, so why do they need to pray to gods or Buddhas?

It would make sense to say that the Ciyu Temple is a large sect that has a Martial Saint.

But when he came to Liangzhou, he had memorized almost all the sects. Not to mention the Martial Saint level, the name of Ciyu Temple was not even among the second-rate sects. It was probably ranked below the third-rate.

What is there to worship?

Either it's a real spirit or there's a ghost.

Thinking of this, it was even more impossible for Chen Sanshi to let Lan Jie'er go alone.

……

The backyard of the three-courtyard complex is used by Chen Sanshi specifically for practicing martial arts, so he will not be disturbed even if there are guests.

After he filled his stomach, he began to practice martial arts.

Spiritual herbs, precious medicines and animal meat.

With the triple benefits superimposed, the cultivation progress is rapid.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Sanshi once again reached the critical point of breakthrough.

The unified spear technique that is a fusion of the three spear techniques has reached perfection in his hands. It is fast, fierce, and long-lasting. A warrior who possesses any one of these characteristics will be able to have a place in the martial arts, but he has them all!

And the combination of these three characteristics produces a wonderful reaction, subtly evolving into a kind of "crazy" force, which is the gun force!
Any kind of weapon has its own momentum. Only by cultivating momentum can one become a master. Otherwise, it will be a dead routine, and one will have no advantage when facing warriors of the same physique and level.

When fighting against enemies across borders, marksmanship is also a very important factor.

The spear in Chen Sanshi's hand was whistling, and it seemed that he had really turned into a mad python at some point. As he practiced, even the birds passing by overhead were startled and fell down. The osmanthus tree that had just been planted in the courtyard was swaying constantly, as if it would break in the gale at any time.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the heart began to beat wildly, exceeding the limit that an ordinary person could bear.

But this is not a physical problem, it is a sign of a breakthrough!
The heart is the most powerful of the internal organs, and is also an important source of strength for the human body. All blood is supplied to various parts of the body through the heart. The stronger the heart, the stronger the power that can be generated.

"Boom boom boom!"

With the supply from the heart, the dragon elephant blood in Chen Sanshi's body was further enhanced, and his speed, reaction and strength were nearly doubled.

A small success in refining the internal organs, burning heart!
[Kung Fu: Unified Spear Technique (Minor Success)]

【Progress: 0/2000】

[Effects: ..., ..., Xuanyuan Five Organs, Qilin Heart]

[Qilin Heart: One of the five internal organs of Xuanyuan, combined with the Seven Apertures, the combat talent is beyond ordinary people. Within thirty rounds, it will definitely be able to break the enemy's moves! ]

Kirin heart!
Chen Sanshi has been cramming a lot of books recently, and has gained some understanding of various martial arts physiques. He is no longer as ignorant and clueless as before.

The Qilin body is also considered the body of a martial saint.

Moreover, it is the only physique that can increase one's comprehension of martial arts, not just the improvement of the physical body.

Yan Changqing, the grandson of Lord Yan, has this kind of physique.

The most important of these, the Qilin Heart, was pulled out separately from the proficiency panel and placed on the body, and it also reacted in combination with the [Seven Apertures] brought by the reading skill.

Within thirty rounds, the enemy's combat tactics will be cracked!
What is this concept.

In other words, no matter what realm you are at, as long as you can last for thirty rounds, you will be able to find the opponent's weakness and then break it!
Holding on has never been a problem for the persistent Chen Sanshi.

Of course, the premise is that the realm gap is not that big.

For example, if he were to fight General Sun now, it would be useless.

If you achieve great success or perfection in refining your internal organs...

Everyone knows that the gap between minor success in organ refining and perfection is a chasm.

Because the burning heart is only the prototype of the blood bursting out after the internal organs are fully refined. When the prototype is completed, there is no need to explain what it means.

Before, Chen Sanshi was not very confident.

Now that he has the [Qilin Heart], he has a better chance of winning, but he dare not underestimate the enemy. After all, those people are genuine geniuses. Their physiques, skills, and the medicines they use are all top-notch, different from any previous opponents.

In short, no matter what the odds are, there is no time.

A few days later, I started the third level, followed by the fourth level, and the fifth level, which was bone-touching. All the tests were completed in one go.

He can only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

Also.

The forward selection assessment continued yesterday afternoon, and today, the results of the breakthrough have come out.

Only a few people such as Lu Shuhua, Cao Fan, Yan Changqing and others got the first grade, and all of them had passed through this side, and the first stick of sandalwood was almost burned out.

These people will be our real opponents next.

"Master, have you finished your training?"

Siqin had been squatting outside the door early. After hearing no movement, she poked her head in and looked inside. After getting permission, she entered with a bowl of medicine. "Madam personally made this tonic soup. She told me to serve it to the master."

Ever since they talked about wanting a child, Gu Xinlan went out to buy tonic medicine and drank it with every meal, and the two of them drank it together.

This medicine is mainly for health preservation and has no side effects.

"Tell my wife to make me more. I'm afraid she can't bear it. Forget it. I'll go myself."

Chen Sanshi poured out the medicine and went straight to the master bedroom in the front yard.

……

Military city.

After a few days, all traces of the cheating case had been completely wiped out, and everything in the martial arts arena was the same as usual, except that there was one less examiner.

Governor Liu has been ill recently and has been unable to leave his post. He even wrote a letter to resign and refused to do his job no matter what.

It is said that the imperial court has temporarily transferred a martial saint from the neighboring state to serve as the new governor.

As for Ning Changqun's death, no one mentioned it again.

The imperial court did not impose any punishment on Sun Xiangzong, and it seemed that the matter was left unresolved.

After everyone was present, General Li Qian loudly announced the contents of the third level.

“Commanders, I believe many of you have noticed the situation in Dongyi City when you came here.

"Yes, that's your third big question!
"Go into battle and kill the enemy!
"The content of the test is very simple. Tonight, the traitors in Dongyi City will break out of the city. Whoever kills more enemies will get the best score!
"Killing more than 400 enemies is Grade A, killing 300 is Grade B...

"One bone training is equal to forty people, one organ training is equal to a hundred people, and you are not responsible for any higher numbers."

"Did you hear everything clearly?
"Okay, I'll give you one hour to prepare. After one hour, we'll set off!"

"..."

kill the enemy.

Chen Sanshi thought that it would be a test to see who could lead the troops to capture the city, but he didn't expect the test content to be so straightforward. To put it bluntly, it was about seeing who had more heads.

It’s right if you think about it carefully.

There are a large number of generals to be selected, and there are problems such as how many troops to give them, who should attack the city first, and what to do if there are too many casualties in the siege. Only straightforward examination content can be relatively fair.

He picked up the fifty-stone bow.

An hour later, everyone gathered and left the city under the leadership of several deputy commanders.

At this moment, Dongyi City was surrounded by 50,000 soldiers like an iron barrel. Among them, 10,000 were from the Xuanwu Camp, and the remaining 40,000 were from the Liangzhou Guard.

General Lu Ji, who commanded the Xuanwu and Feixiong camps, was the only martial saint among the commander-in-chief's disciples and was once considered the successor. He was also here.

"Sun Xiangzong, I fuck your mother!"

On top of the city wall.

A middle-aged man holding a long knife shouted emotionally: "I wish I could eat your flesh and sleep on your skin. Sooner or later, I will make sure you have no descendants and die a miserable death!

"If you have the guts, come out and fight me to the death. You've trapped us in the city and become a coward. What kind of hero are you?"

"You hate the commander so much?"

Chen Sanshi could feel the overwhelming hatred even from a distance of Xu Yuan.

"This man is the leader of the Qi Jue Sect, Zhang Huaimin, who is at the Tongmai realm."

Li Qianzong explained: "Five years ago, when the Eighth Battalion was first transferred to Liangzhou, the entire northwest border was in a terrible state. There were countless corrupt officials, and people's lives were taken away every day. At the most exaggerated time, this group of sect disciples walked on the street and snatched away the wives and daughters of other families. They even broke into people's homes at night and took them in front of their husbands...

"After the commander reorganized the army, he sent out several thousand people. It took three years to sweep the entire northern border states, from prefectures to counties. He killed anyone he found, and only then did they restrain themselves.

"Zhang Huaimin himself has done nothing evil, but his descendants are extremely arrogant and have done all sorts of evil. They are full of evil and will certainly not escape their fate.

"Zhang has always held a grudge against us. When we went to war with the barbarians a while ago, he found an opportunity to collaborate with the enemy and attempted to take revenge in this way."

Chen Sanshi had an impression of this incident in his memory. Before the commander-in-chief was transferred here, the entire northern border was completely lawless, and people were killed in broad daylight.

As long as the relationship is strong enough, the county government will not interfere at all. If the silver is enough, the county government may even turn the tables and cause the family to be ruined.

"General Lu! We can begin!"

After the selected generals arrived, Lu Ji nodded to his subordinates.

The deputy general understood and immediately began to convey the order.

Soon, all the soldiers outside the west gate of Dongyi City withdrew, leaving only 3,000 soldiers from the Feixiong Camp, which seemed to be the only way to survive for the traitors in Dongyi City.

There must be a gap in the encirclement.

Attacking the city would cause unnecessary losses, so forcing them out is the best way to conduct the assessment.

And they will definitely come out.

Because there has been no food in the city for half a month, I'm afraid even the Guanyin soil has been eaten up. If we stay trapped any longer, people will start to eat each other. We might as well come out and fight. Even if only one or two people escape, there is still hope.

"I am the lieutenant commander of the Xuanwu Camp. My last name is Guan Ji Zeng, and I will also be your next chief examiner."

Guan Ji Zeng spoke in a deafening voice, explaining the rules to everyone in more detail:
"When the people in the city come out, my brothers will go up to kill the enemy. You need to follow them. No one will give way to you, so you have to use your own abilities and grab as much as you can. Someone will keep count for you. Remember?"

Just two miles behind them, ten cloud towers eight feet high had been built with wood, and on top of each tower stood a person in charge of counting.

"Do you still need to rob?"

The selected generals looked at each other in bewilderment.

There are only a total of 1,500 disciples in the city, while there are 3,000 Feixiong Camp soldiers guarding outside, and they are all ready to fight and will not deliberately give them any chances.

Killing 400 people is considered first-class!

Although a warrior of a higher level can defeat many enemies alone, there are also many generals in Feixiong Camp who can also kill warriors of a higher level.

It is like snatching food from a tiger's mouth, which is really difficult!

According to Guan Ji Zeng's arrangement, all people lined up about 300 steps outside the west city gate, deliberately leaving space for a breakout, waiting for the people in the city to come out.

The selected generals stood at the forefront, staring at the city gate intently, ready to rush up and kill the enemy at the first opportunity, for fear that they would not have enough people.

This wait.

That's a full three hours.

Waited from afternoon till dark.

The people in the city were not stupid. They could see that they were being waited for to die, so they would definitely hesitate. Until the hour of Hai, there was no movement.

Many selected generals put down their weapons, sat down and closed their eyes to rest.

"Maybe they all starved to death!"

Bai Tingzhi was so anxious that he wanted to attack the city.

"Om-"

Just when everyone thought they would have to wait two or three days, the city gate finally opened at midnight.

The West Gate is a small gate that can only accommodate four people exiting side by side.

"Break through, brothers, break through!"

"..."

First there was a noisy sound followed by the sound of footsteps, and finally, the first group of disciples from the Qi Jue Sect rushed out.

"Well done!"

The selected generals all perked up their spirits, waiting for the disciples of the Seven Absolute Sect to arrive in front of the army formation, engage in close combat with them, and then fight bravely to kill the enemy and compete for the number of beheadings.

"call out--"

However, as soon as the first disciple of the Qi Jue Sect appeared, he was greeted by an armor-piercing arrow, which shot directly through the face and killed him on the spot!

"咻咻咻咻——"

Then, the second one, the third one...

The city gate was not wide to begin with, and the sect disciples fell down one after another before they even stepped out of the gate. Soon the corpses piled up into a mountain, and no one could escape.

It looks like there is a whole team of archers blocking the city gate!
What are you doing? Aren't they supposed to kill the enemy? Why are they blocking them with crossbowmen?

Everyone turned to look.

There were no archers anywhere. There was only a young general in a dark green robe who was constantly pulling a super-large bow that was as tall as a person. He had countless arrows in his hands, and his movement of pulling the string was so fast that afterimages appeared. Every arrow he shot took a life.

"Chen Sanshi?"

Cao Fan was furious and also picked up his bow and arrow to shoot.

Bows and arrows are naturally something that everyone can use.

In fact, many people also brought them, and they had long thought of using long-range attacks to gain numbers.

but……

In order to leave room for the people in the city to escape and lure them out, the big guys were three hundred steps away!

In the military.

It is absolutely impossible to say that one has no knowledge of archery at all. There are many people who are proficient in archery, but it is considered good if they can hit the target at most seventy or eighty steps away.

What the hell is this thing where you can hit the target every time from 300 steps away!

Moreover, the arrows were shot so fast that two or three were shot in the blink of an eye, which just blocked the west city gate tightly. No one could get out, let alone anyone else.

"General Chen is mighty!"

Bai Tingzhi cheered loudly: "Magic arrow! Magic arrow!"

"You are a fool, he is also your competitor!"

"I will follow General Chen sooner or later. What's the big deal?"

"..."

"Damn it!"

Cao Fan and Lu Shuhua were both good at archery and they also had bows and arrows of around 20 stones, but they couldn't shoot accurately!
Such a long distance.

If you can hit the target with one arrow out of five or six, that’s pretty good!
It seemed that Chen Sanshi had killed dozens of people.

They didn't care about their face, broke away from the army formation and rushed to a distance of about a hundred steps. Even so, they were still no match.

Drawing the bow, putting the arrow on, aiming, which one doesn't take time?
But people with the surname Chen don’t need it!
"One hundred and fifty-seven, one hundred and fifty-eight..."

Chen Sanshi counted silently in his mind without stopping his hands.

Most of these people were training bones and blood. Occasionally, there were those who had just started training organs, but they were unable to dodge or block due to the narrow space. Even if they were wearing the armor from the city, they would die within three arrows and would not be able to get out at all. As a result, before the real fighting even began, he had already reached one-third of the A-level standard.

But I guess the other party will also change their strategy and will not continue to die in vain.

really.

The city gate became quiet, and when people came again, they were already holding up heavy black iron shields.

The four shields advanced rapidly in front like a mountain of iron.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

No matter how powerful the longbow is, it is not enough to penetrate the heavy steel shield.

After the shields were erected at the city gate, many disciples from the sects rushed out and fled in all directions, but were stopped by the soldiers of Feixiong Camp.

The fight officially begins!
But this does not affect Chen Sanshi's harvesting speed at all.

He found a high place and basically shot an arrow that would kill someone.

The rest of the people joined the melee, desperately competing with the people from Feixiong Camp to kill the enemy. Not only was it tiring, but there was also the risk of encountering warriors at a higher level. The most important thing was that it was inefficient!

"Three hundred and ninety-nine!"

"Four hundred!"

Chen Sanshi deliberately selected warriors who were at the bone and organ training levels and who would benefit the most from it to shoot and kill, so it didn't take long for him to become the first to complete the A-level assessment target.

Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly noticed something unusual.

From the perspective of qi observation, the densely packed people in front of you all have qi of varying strengths.

Among the many "qi", there is one that is extremely special.

It's not because of how strong you are, but because you are different.

Black and red!
Poisonous beast!

Similar to the energy inside a poisonous beast!
But it looks darker in color.

How could the aura of a poisonous beast appear on a warrior?
