My Cultivation Starting from Archery

A sudden incident that only lasted an instant, was like a bolt of lightning on a clear day; after it ended, the sky remained cloudless. If not for the several pools of blood and flesh on the ground proving that something had happened, the tens of thousands of people would probably wonder if it was an illusion.

Martial Saint!

The Martial Saint!

Not to mention in Liangzhou, even in the entire world, he counted as a formidable force.

In front of this nearly hundred-year-old elder, to not even be a match, or to be precise, not even lasting one round or qualifying as an enemy—it was like crushing an ant.

Despite not taking action for over a decade, despite being seen by everyone as a flickering candle in the wind, waiting for the day to be buried in peace, when Sun Xiangzong unleashed his thunderous strike at this moment, it was akin to a resounding bell toll in everyone's hearts, leaving them shaken and unable to calm down for a long time.

"Majestic!"

"Supervisor majestic—"

Within the Military City.

Following a prolonged silence as if time had stopped, and after the shock, someone shouted a voice in the crowd that hadn't been heard in ten years.

"The Supervisor's divine might!"

"Hurrah hurrah hurrah hurrah—"

This moment.

A hundred thousand elite Armored Soldiers knelt in unison, their voices booming like thunder, reverberating through the entirety of Liangzhou City.

This day,

the aged Sun Xiangzong, by taking a Martial Saint's life, picked up the prestige he had once deliberately put aside, and effortlessly reclaimed it!

The court had intended to seize power with today's arrangement.

And wasn't it also Sun Xiangzong making counter moves against the plan?

From this day onwards,

the rumor in the streets that "Old Xiangzong is senile, but can he still eat?" will probably change to "Old Xiangzong is senile, but is he plotting something?"

"The Supervisor's divine might!"

The cheering grew louder and louder, and did not stop for half an hour.

Some of the older soldiers even cried with joy, eventually breaking down into weeping.

Some of them had followed Sun Xiangzong since their youth.

Now in their forties or fifties, they had essentially followed him their whole lives!

Until these recent years of silence, everyone had watched with their own eyes as the Supervisor grew increasingly frail, managing military affairs less and less, as if he would leave them at any moment.

It's no wonder everyone thought so.

The reality was just so.

If it had been before, how could Sun Dushi have allowed the existence of governors or military supervisors around him, let alone handing over three of the Eight Great Camps so easily.

Doing so, wasn't he telling everyone that he was ready to retire and return home?

Many could see that today's farce was deliberately making things difficult for the Supervisor.

If Sun Xiangzong didn't retaliate, raising his hand high only to let it fall gently, then they would have completely lost hope.

But now, the soldiers realized that the Supervisor was still the Supervisor!

These years, the Supervisor was just taking a rest.

Now that he has rested well, he is back!

Under the influence of this atmosphere, officials from the Northwest Three States as well as the Capital City were nearly kneeling along with the rest, only to realize at the last moment that they weren't under Sun Xiangzong's jurisdiction—nearly committing a grave sin of overstepping their bounds.

"Ruined."

Cao Fan's heart sank.

The trap they had meticulously designed turned out to be a pit they had dug for themselves.

Although Sun Xiangzong's prestige had declined over the years, this incident caused it to soar back up, and now for the court to try and take over the Eight Camps, the trouble would be enormous, not to mention they would ultimately have to look at the old man's face.

"Is this even human..."

Yin Hanwen and Wen Qiushi, among others, were still immersed in the brief confrontation.

The Martial Saint—that was the Martial Saint!

They didn't even see what happened and ended up as minced meat?

No wonder so many martial arts geniuses from all over the world came to compete in Selected Point, who wouldn't want to learn from such a person—that is the true Martial Arts Saint!

In Cao Fan's eyes, there was an intense yearning.

To emerge victorious in Selected Point, he was determined to win!

...

"Blue energy..."

While the tens of thousands were shocked, Chen Sansi, through the Qi Observation Skill, noticed what set apart the Martial Saint from those above him.

He witnessed with his own eyes.

When Sun Dushi made his move, the energy that surged within him was the distinct Qingxuan Energy, strikingly different from everyone else's, no wonder the Martial Saint couldn't even withstand one move.

They were fighting from different sources of power, how could one compete?

Moreover, Chen Sansi paid attention to that long spear; although it was just for a fleeting moment, that brief glimpse made him feel admiration for a weapon for the first time, far surpassing the Zhenyue Sword, and even felt that there wasn't a second spear of the same quality in the human realm.

Besides, where did the weapon come from?

He was certain that the Supervisor had not carried any weapons, and nobody had delivered one at the time, as if it had appeared out of thin air.

Chen Sansi looked more carefully.

Even though Sun Xiangzong's clothes were patched up, only the bright silver thumb ring on his right thumb seemed to be of considerable value, an Immortal Item, perhaps.

...

"Sun Xiangzong!"

Liu Zhongxian called out his name, "You've got some nerve, General Ning is the court-appointed Upper Pillar Country, you, what right do you have to kill him!"

"Supervisor, you're rather reckless in your actions."

Mr. Hou regained his senses, pointing out with lingering fear, "Aren't you afraid of the court's punishment?"

"The petition for my crime was written in advance, and has already been given to Mr. Hou, just hand it over to His Majesty, and I will take whatever punishment comes."

In the blink of an eye, Sun Xiangzong had reverted to the appearance of an elderly man from the village entrance.

He turned with a slight hunch in his back, "Fourth, you weren't hurt, were you?"

"Teacher worries too much."

Fang Qingyun appeared calm.

"Was the petition already written?"

Mr. Hou took out the petition that the Supervisor had handed to him before the start of Selected Point, inside it talked about expanding the forces, could it be that killing Ning Changqun was also written in advance?

What if today's events hadn't occurred?
