From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

"Third brother!" Scarface roared as he looked at the fallen one-eyed man.

"Third Brother," the one-armed swordsman's face also suddenly darkened.

The seven leaders of Black Wind Stronghold had sworn brotherhood and addressed each other as brothers.

They usually ate large chunks of meat and drank large bowls of wine together, and even had women to play with in turn; their relationship was quite good.

Apart from the two leaders, the other Black Wind bandits were even more terrified when they saw One-Eyed Dragon killed.

If it weren't for Scarface and the One-Armed Swordsman holding things up, someone would have already escaped.

In contrast to the Black Wind Thieves' grief, the Chen family warriors were greatly encouraged.

"Good riddance."

Chen Long was overjoyed and immediately shouted, "Men of the Chen family, follow me to kill the enemy and leave these Black Wind bandits behind!"

"Kill! Kill the Black Wind Bandits!"

Immediately, the Chen family warriors glared at the Black Wind Thieves with murderous intent and shouted in agreement.

The Chen family warriors were filled with fighting spirit, while the Black Wind Thieves were terrified.

Soon, one Black Wind Thief after another was surrounded and killed by the Chen family warriors.

Even Scarface and the One-Armed Swordsman were surrounded and attacked.

Scarface was attacked by Chen Long and the injured Chen Hao together.

The one-armed swordsman was attacked by Chen Hong, the third Chen family Bone Forging Realm martial artist, along with several Iron Skin Realm martial artists.

Chen Xun, who was hiding in the shadows, would occasionally shoot an arrow out of the blue.

An arrow pierced through the one-armed swordsman's other intact arm.

An arrow pierced the scarred man's abdomen.

The one-armed swordsman became an armless swordsman, unable to even lift a sword, his strength greatly reduced, and he was hacked to death by several Iron Skin Realm warriors.

"Damn it, damn it."

The one-armed swordsman roared in anger before he died.

As for Scarface, he was quite strong and decisive. After being seriously injured by the arrow, he immediately abandoned the other Black Wind Bandits and fled into the forest.

Chen Long chased after him for a while, but he still managed to escape, much to his dismay.

When he returned, he saw the Chen family warriors chasing after the Black Wind Thieves.

He immediately joined in.

With his Bone Forging Realm cultivation, dealing with these Blood Qi Realm warriors was like a dimensional reduction attack; he could kill them one by one, and not a single Black Wind Thief could withstand a single move from him.

After the battle, the pristine snow was stained red with blood.

Corpses lay on the snow, their deaths gruesome.

The Chen family warriors happily began looting the corpses for their belongings.

"Haha, I'm lucky, there are several taels of silver on this corpse."

"Damn it, only a few copper coins, pshaw, you poor wretch."

"Brother, this is what we killed together, and we split what we found."

"Bullshit, did you see that fatal wound? I caused it, so I should take the lion's share."

The two started arguing.

According to the guard's regulations, whoever kills an enemy is entitled to handle the person's belongings.

Of course, if you kill them together, then you should discuss it amongst yourselves.

If that doesn't solve the problem, then ask their captain to make a ruling.

However, this means that one portion will be given to the team leader.

So, after arguing for only a few words, the two quickly divided up their contributions and split the looted valuables.

Seeing that the battle was over, Chen Xun slowly walked out of the woods.

His appearance immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

"Is he that sharpshooter? He's so young?"

"I remember, he was a new member, what was his name again?"

"Chen Xun".

"Yes, his name is Chen Xun, that's his name."

"So it was him! He saved my life. I need to go and thank him."

"And me, he saved my life too. If it weren't for his arrow, I would probably be a dead man under the Black Wind Bandits by now."

Immediately, the people Chen Xun had saved ran up to him and excitedly expressed their gratitude.

"Chen Xun, thank you, thank you for saving my life."

"You are my savior. If you ever need any help in the future, just come to me and I will definitely help you."

"And me, if it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead by now, and I don't even know how to thank you."

Surrounded by the crowd, Chen Xun was somewhat flustered in this situation.

Seeing this, Chen Hu, who was not far away, smiled with satisfaction.

He discovered Chen Xun, and now that Chen Xun has made such a great contribution, he is also proud of him.

Moreover, he also has practical benefits.

After returning this time, my contribution to the family will definitely increase significantly.

He will receive a larger share of the Boiling Blood Powder.

Thinking of this, Chen Hu smiled even more broadly.

In contrast, Chen Ye had a gloomy expression.

Seeing Chen Xun achieve such great merit, he felt no joy, only unease and jealousy.

The unease stemmed from Chen Xun's current strength; with a sneak attack, he could even kill someone at the Bone Forging Realm.

If we deal with him, he will certainly not be able to escape.

Jealousy was directed at Chen Hu.

He and Chen Hu were already rivals, and now that Chen Hu has discovered a sharpshooter like Chen Xun, his family's contribution will surely increase significantly, and the amount of Boiling Blood Powder he can obtain will probably decrease.

"Damn Chen Xun, damn Chen Hu."

Chen Ye cursed inwardly.

Chen Xun was surrounded for only a short time before Chen Long came to his rescue.

"What are you all doing gathered here?"

With just one sentence, the group surrounding Chen Xun dispersed, allowing Chen Xun to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Kid, you did a great job."

Chen Long approached Chen Xun and patted him on the shoulder with an admiring look.

"Your archery skills are the best in my Chenjia Village."

"I will definitely recommend you for good deeds when we get back this time."

"Thank you, Captain."

Chen Xun quickly expressed his gratitude.

"What's your name, Captain?"

Chen Long's face darkened: "From now on, call me Brother Long."

"Yes, Brother Long."

Chen Xun readily agreed and quickly changed his form of address.

"That's more like it."

Chen Long patted Chen Xun on the shoulder with satisfaction.

After turning around, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"This Chen Xun is probably not only exceptionally talented in archery, but also in cultivation."

"They know how to hide their talents, not bad, not bad."

A sense of curiosity arose in Chen Long's heart: "I wonder how far he can go with his talent."

Just now, Chen Long slapped Chen Xun twice, which made him realize that Chen Xun's cultivation progress was far more than what appeared to be, that he had only completed the strengthening of his hands.

Chen Xun was unaware that Chen Long had discovered a portion of his hidden cultivation level.

He is now looting his spoils.

Using a bow and arrow, Chen Xun killed a total of twelve Black Wind Bandits.

Among them, three are in the cowhide realm, six are in the stone skin realm, two are in the iron skin realm, and one is in the bone forging realm.

According to Chen Long's promise, the people Chen Xun killed would bring him a huge sum of 550 taels of silver.

Even Chen Long might not be able to come up with such a large sum of money.

Besides the silver that he hadn't yet received, after searching the corpses of the twelve Black Wind Bandits, Chen Xun obtained 68 taels of broken silver and several hundred copper coins.

And a porcelain bottle containing two black pills.

This was obtained from the one-eyed dragon.

Chen Xun asked Chen Long to examine it and discovered that it was a pill for use by those in the Bone Forging Realm, called the [Bone Tempering Pill], which could accelerate the tempering of bones.

"I'll take these two pills. Name your price."

Chen Long said without any politeness.

"Brother Long, since you want it, I'll give it to you."

Chen Xun quickly and tactfully said...

"No, how can I take your spoils?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Long shook his head repeatedly.

"How about this? On the market, one Bone Tempering Pill costs fifty taels. I'll give you one hundred taels; consider it as me buying these two Bone Tempering Pills. How about that?"

Chen Long asked.

Chen Xun thought for a moment, then said, "Brother Long, I don't want your money."

Upon hearing this, Chen Long was about to say something when Chen Xun spoke first: "I want to buy this Tiger Fang Bow."

Chen Xun patted the Five Stone Bow on his back.

"Brother Long, name your price."

"I see."

Chen Long couldn't help but stroke his chin.

Finally, the Tiger Fang Bow was sold for one hundred taels of silver.

As for the ten iron arrows, Chen Long gave them directly to Chen Xun.

On the market, the price of a five-stone bow is generally between 120 and 200 taels.

The quality and condition of the Tiger Tooth Bow are quite good; if it were sold, it would fetch 150 taels of silver.

Therefore, Chen Long essentially gave Chen Xun a discounted price.

Chen Xun was also very straightforward, handing the two [Bone Tempering Pills] directly to Chen Long.

Chen Long accepted it without hesitation.

And so, the Tiger Fang Bow became Chen Xun's possession.

After tallying the casualties and looting the spoils, the Chen family warriors, under Chen Long's leadership, continued their journey towards Ping'an Town.

In this battle, three members of the Chen family died and seven or eight were injured.

With such casualties, it can already be considered a great victory.

After all, they had left behind two Bone Forging Realm warriors and more than thirty Qi and Blood Realm warriors.

The bodies of the deceased Chen family warriors were tied to an oxcart and buried in the Chen family cemetery upon their return.

Despite the casualties, the atmosphere in the convoy was still very excited because of the victory.

As the biggest contributor to this battle, Chen Xun has received much attention.

This made Chen Xun very uncomfortable.

Just after the Chen family's caravan left, two figures suddenly appeared next to the pile of corpses belonging to the Black Wind Bandits.

"This Chen Family Village is quite powerful; they've managed to achieve this level of strength."

Of the two, the shorter one spoke first.

"No, Chenjia Village is not much stronger than the other two villages. The sharpshooter played a key role in their easy victory in this battle."

The taller man's eyes gleamed as he spoke.

"What, you've taken a liking to that sharpshooter?"

"Indeed, this person is still young, yet his archery talent is already so remarkable. He will be even more amazing when he grows up. It's a waste of his talent to keep him in Chenjia Village."

"What you said makes sense. How do you plan to win them over?"

"The usual method: use cultivation resources to overwhelm them. I refuse to believe that any martial artist can resist this method."

"My medicine gang has plenty of resources, including all kinds of medicine powders and pills."

The tall figure spoke with an air of dominance.

It turns out that these two were actually members of the Medicine Gang.
