Chapter 7: Enemies Are on Their Way on Horseback

The north wind was like a knife, rolling up dust.

A palm with thick finger bones was holding a bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror was golden yellow, with clear patterns—leopard patterns. The mirror surface was relatively blurry, as if filled with oil stains, and the scene within looked hazy and distorted to a certain degree.

This was a middle-aged man with a short stature, about one meter five, and dark skin.

His eyes were narrowed as he looked at the bronze mirror in his palm, watching Wang Xiong being killed with one sword.

He couldn't help but mock, "Another idiot."

"I spoke to him nicely, but he didn't listen."

"That Seeing Dou Changsheng is just a village boy; how could he have the ability to cultivate Primordial internal Qi?"

"This information is true, but the real Seeing Dou Changsheng doesn't know where he is roaming happily. Now this one is an impostor."

A figure with a slender build, wearing a high crown and a long robe, stood a meter away, looking at the distance and saying, "There can be no mistake."

"This Primordial internal Qi is definitely the Three Primordials Return Qi Technique."

"The Wang Clan of Xiangzhou really participated."

"The Prime Minister has given orders three times, but the Wang Clan has ignored them, not only sending people to participate but also a direct descendant."

"To be able to cultivate Primordial internal Qi at this age, he must be regarded as a Dao seed, competing for the Human List ranking in the future, making a name for himself, and supporting the Wang Clan of Xiangzhou's family status."

The short, thin, dark figure sneered, "It's a pity."

"He won't have the day to make a name for himself."

"He actually took the initiative to get involved in the North's dispute."

"Even if he were a Pure Yang Grandmaster, he would definitely die, let alone just a junior."

"I, the Earth Walker, hate these people who rely on family background and a little talent to be arrogant and ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth the most."

"If he were honestly in Xiangzhou, I wouldn't dare to take action against him, but now he doesn't even have the surname Wang."

"Wang Xiong, this Iron-Armored Mad Lion, is also a silver-gun wax head, but he still had some use, successfully probing Seeing Dou Changsheng's bottom line."

The man in the high crown and long robe said, "Not bad."

"That sword just now, the sword technique was exquisite, beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"The heat of this sword is already ten years of work. To have such a perfect foundation, he is worthy of being a descendant of a great clan."

"If all his other sword moves had such a foundation, that would be truly terrifying."

"After all, he looks like he is not even twenty years old."

"The foundation is perfect, but there are many flaws in that sword move."

"This proves that this sword technique was just learned."

"To cover up the origin of the Wang Clan of Xiangzhou, this Wang Clan descendant has also racked his brains."

"However, using sword techniques at this moment cannot be true. After all, it hasn't reached the point of fighting for one's life. When it truly reaches the critical moment of life and death, this Wang Clan descendant will definitely not pedantically continue to use the newly learned sword technique."

"This is, without a doubt, a Primordial martial artist, and his strength is very powerful."

"So we must be cautious."

The Earth Walker said in a deep voice, "Descendants of great clans, learning martial arts since childhood, taught by elders in the clan, and not lacking resources—every one of them is an all-around martial artist. Sword techniques, palm techniques, footwork, internal Qi—they have no shortcomings, so their strength naturally doesn't need to be doubted."

"So we have to use those cannon fodder. The Hu Ren have prepared for so many years and have already cultivated a batch of manpower in the North."

"The Black Horse Gang, which roams three counties, only seeks money and doesn't kill people, is exactly what has been funded by the Hu Ren."

"This part of the people has already been handed over to the Prime Minister by the Hu Ren. Now we can take them as cannon fodder. The Black Horse Gang leader, although only a Postnatal Great Accomplishment martial artist, not even as good as Wang Xiong, has a hundred brothers under him, all with big horses, curved blades, and real skills—they are swordsmen."

"A good man can't withstand a crowd of wolves. Meeting in the wild, an ordinary Primordial martial artist is simply not an opponent."

"Even if this is a Wang Clan descendant, his strength is extraordinary, this Black Horse Gang is enough to consume his internal Qi and physical strength, and then probe the martial arts he has mastered."

"This way, as long as we wait for the right time, our brothers will take action together, and we will definitely succeed."

The Earth Walker recited a few words, then reached into his bosom and pulled out a secret manual, saying, "Feng Zhongyi, your speed is the fastest, go personally."

"This time, it's not letting the Black Horse Gang run for nothing. These swordsmen, who roam like the wind, seem powerful, but they all rely on horse power."

"But with this military book, the leader can twist these hundred swordsmen into a rope, gathering their power together."

Feng Zhongyi took the book, flipped through it, and said in surprise, "Although this is just the most ordinary military book and just an ordinary battle formation, it is a forbidden book."

"There is no complex content inside, but just a simple operation of internal Qi, turning a hundred people into one, which is enough to make this Black Horse Gang truly become a climate."

"Now, as long as they don't gather the Black Horse Gang and then charge in the wild, a Primordial martial artist can easily slaughter the Black Horse Gang."

"But with this military book, this leader will no longer fear Primordial martial artists. He can borrow strength to resist for a short time, and once the Black Horse Gang swordsmen gather, the Primordial martial artist won't even be able to run."

"The Black Horse Gang colluding with the Hu Ren—wouldn't doing this be aiding the enemy?"

The Earth Walker said coldly, "If we don't give such good things, how could the Black Horse Gang do their best?"

"The leader knows in his heart that even if these hundred brothers are wiped out, as long as he has this military book, he can make a comeback and go to the next level."

"A mere military book in exchange for our brothers' safety—how is it not worth it?"

"Besides, after the matter is done, such thieves who collude with the Hu Ren can just be killed."

"And we have obtained the Pure Yang Grandmaster's Pure Yang Blood, and with the treasures and martial arts given by the Prime Minister, it is enough for us to break through again."

"By then, if Great Jin can't be mixed in, we can go directly to Eastern Qi or Western Qin."

"As long as we have strength, where can we not go in the world?"

Feng Zhongyi sighed, "Dirty work is not easy to do."

"But for loose cultivators like us, if we don't do dirty work, how can we get ahead?" ===== CHAPTER 8 =====

"A mere military manual, exchanged for the safety of our brothers, how is that not worth it?"

"Besides, after the deed is done, wouldn't it be fine to just kill such a thief who colludes with the Hu Ren?"

"And we have obtained the Pure Yang blood of this Pure Yang Grandmaster; with the treasures and martial arts given by the Prime Minister, it is enough for us to break through again."

"By then, if we can't make it in the Great Jin, we can go directly to the Eastern Qi or the Western Qin."

"As long as we have strength, where in the world can we not go?"

Feng Zhongyi sighed and said, "Dirty work is not easy to do."

"But for loose cultivators like us, if we don't do dirty work, how can we get ahead?"
