Chapter 9: Charging the Array Alone, Invincible

~16 min read 3,006 words

【Subduing Demons and Eliminating Devils】: On the eighth day of the third month, you encountered two Primordial martial artists who relied on martial arts to act fiercely. One had good earth-escape skills, appearing three steps to the east instantly after entering the ground. You were deceived and actually dodged a sword of yours, which made you use one more sword. You sighed that there are many strange people in the Jianghu, and your own cultivation is still not hard enough.

The other one's lightness art is also worth looking up to, but unfortunately, no matter how fast he flies, he is not as fast as your three-zhang sword Qi. You felt irritable in your heart. The Three Primordials Return Qi Technique is not known for its internal Qi, but now your cultivation is growing day by day, and you can move several zhang of sword Qi, unable to show your exquisite sword skills.

You couldn't help but sigh, who would have known that the inconspicuous Saibei Ice Pearl in the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe's hand was actually a Millennium Earth Pearl.

Not long after, you visited your benefactor, the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe, and learned that these two thieves were the Earth Walker and Feng Zhongyi.

According to the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe's recollection, these two thieves originally led the Black Ma Pi Gang to surround and kill them, and finally launched a surprise attack when they were exhausted, which once made them face a desperate situation.

Especially that Black Ma Pi Gang, which actually knew the battle formation method of turning a hundred people into one. If they hadn't learned it for long and practiced it poorly, and the northwest was a flaw, they would have died there at that time. The Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe couldn't help but sigh that leading you to embark on cultivation was his greatest achievement in life.

Slaying the thieves who harmed the local area, reward: Thirty days of cultivation!】

【Task: (Completed!)】

On the second day, after Dou Changsheng got up.

He watched the 【Beautiful Life System】 daily. After reading it this time, a look of realization appeared.

He also knew why the tasks were always in a completed state, because the speed of the future was actually out of sync with his own. It seemed like one night, but he didn't know how long had passed in the future.

So after the task appeared, it would soon evolve from incomplete to completed.

Dou Changsheng read the task content carefully again. This lucky Dou Changsheng really didn't live up to the name of plundering countless good luck from their brothers. He was struggling to survive here, while the other party had a perfect start.

He had a famous teacher when he debuted, and after a little performance, he married the daughter of a great clan.

Then it was soaring into the sky, stepping onto the Human List, and competing with the proud sons of heaven of the four countries.

The great enemy he was facing now was just a question of one sword more or one sword less for the lucky Dou Changsheng.

Dou Changsheng's expression was bitter.

This was all his good luck.

It was his life.

Finally, he forced himself to ignore the show-off lucky Dou Changsheng and began to focus on the Earth Walker and Feng Zhongyi.

These two made the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe and Tang He face a desperate situation, so they might be the enemies on his route. He couldn't be sure because he couldn't determine whether the lucky Dou Changsheng's line was the one the swordsman took or the one the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe took.

Yes, the swordsman's line didn't die.

The lucky Dou Changsheng had already drawn his sword, and the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe could save Dou Changsheng, so naturally, he wouldn't let the swordsman be killed by Wang Xiong.

So they still divided into two routes.

If he took the route of the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe and the others in the future line this time, the enemies he would face would be the Earth Walker and Feng Zhongyi.

Dou Changsheng recited it twice, then got up personally, drew the long sword at his waist, and began to practice personally, making more preparations, which was always a good thing.

After a long time, Dou Changsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out dry food and gnawed two bites, drank some water, directly found the horse, and then mounted it to continue on his way.

It was just that he was thinking about the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe. Originally, Jianmen Pass could be visited or not.

Now it seemed he had to go.

The gold content of this task information was extremely high.

The Millennium Earth Pearl was something he had heard of early on, as this thing was a heavenly treasure that had appeared repeatedly in legends.

In any place, there was no shortage of stories about poor boys marrying rich girls and reaching the pinnacle of life.

An ordinary village boy accidentally eats a Millennium Earth Pearl, then gains a thick internal Qi, begins to roam the Jianghu, and becomes a hero and Jianghu myth that everyone respects.

There are countless similar stories of obtaining immortal pills, divine weapons, and famous teachers, but the golden finger is mostly the Millennium Earth Pearl. The appearance rate of this thing is too high.

There is no way. The side effects are small, the effects are great, and especially the divine object hides itself; if you aren't a fated person, you simply can't identify it.

After a while, Dou Changsheng accepted reality.

Compared to the future Dou Changsheng, this lucky brother.

These Dou Changshengs of theirs naturally lived bitter lives.

But he was at least better. Although he was unlucky, he at least had the 【Beautiful Life System】. Other brothers didn't even have a hair, so weren't they living even more bitterly?

Comparing like this, the sense of happiness and superiority came, and Dou Changsheng felt much better in his heart.

He directly claimed the task reward.

With the arrival of thirty days of cultivation, Dou Changsheng could clearly feel the Primordial internal Qi in his body constantly growing.

Originally, the Primordial internal Qi was entrenched in the Dantian and began to overflow into the meridians. This was still within the range of endurance. Now, with another month of Primordial internal Qi, Dou Changsheng could no longer bear it.

If it were a normal situation, he would naturally explode and die.

But this thing came from the system, so naturally, there would be no problems. With the Primordial internal Qi beginning to climb steadily, after overflowing the Dantian, it began to fill the meridians. Soon, it reached the limit, and the Primordial internal Qi began to automatically launch a charge.

Postnatal martial artists cultivate by opening up the extraordinary meridians and the twelve primary meridians. Every time they open a meridian, the internal Qi will grow and their strength will increase greatly.

The twelve primary meridians are divided into two major categories: hand and foot, and then divided into yin and yang. Each category is divided into three yang and three yin, totaling six, making twelve in total.

The first to be charged is the three yang meridians of the hand. The Primordial internal Qi was not controlled by Dou Changsheng and began to automatically charge the pass.

The first meridian was opened in one charge, and the second meridian was the same. In the blink of an eye, the three yang meridians of the hand were all opened.

This also led to a situation where, as the meridians were opened, the Primordial internal Qi grew again, and then began to charge the pass again.

When everything settled, the three yang and three yin of the hand were all opened.

Half of the twelve primary meridians had been opened, leaving only the three yang and three yin of the foot.

This was still an unintentional passive situation. If Dou Changsheng took the initiative to charge the pass, the effect would be even better.

In a word, opening these six meridians now was far from Dou Changsheng's limit. There was no other way. Ordinary people charging the pass only used Postnatal internal Qi, while Dou Changsheng used Primordial internal Qi, not to mention the extremely high quality of the Primordial internal Qi.

Dou Changsheng restrained his restless heart. Dou Changsheng wasn't a fool. Now that these six meridians were opened, it was a system guarantee, and there would definitely be no problems.

If he charged the pass himself, not knowing the method of charging the pass, it would be easy to cause meridian damage, resulting in lifelong regrets.

Besides, now that he was on horseback, it was very bumpy and not suitable for cultivation.

This time, opening the meridians didn't increase much internal Qi. If all twelve primary meridians were opened, it would only increase internal Qi by one or two days.

Yes, the gap was so huge.

Every martial artist's internal Qi will surge and their strength will increase greatly when they open their meridians.

But Dou Changsheng is not among them. The reason is very simple: the future Dou Changsheng's Primordial internal Qi is too thick. If he cultivates for a month, he can't even do it in a year.

After learning about the Millennium Earth Pearl from the future Dou Changsheng, Dou Changsheng finally realized why he only had one month of cultivation but could use three-inch sword Qi when he moved.

He had thought that Primordial martial artists were all so arrogant, moving sword Qi everywhere.

Now, looking back carefully, Wang Xiong was already afraid when he saw the three-inch sword Qi, and Zhao Manren and Ai Haike's fight didn't have sword Qi everywhere; the Primordial internal Qi was restrained and didn't leave the weapon in their hands.

Only his own family moved, no matter what, first came three inches of sword Qi.

And he didn't feel the feeling of internal Qi running out.

This time, opening the meridians was also the system's inability to continue compressing the thick Primordial internal Qi in his body, so it had to open a few meridians to accommodate it.

He misunderstood.

It turned out he was already very strong.

Dou Changsheng's positioning of his own strength had never been clear.

Now that he knew about the Millennium Earth Pearl, he immediately determined that the Primordial internal Qi in his body was probably not bad among Primordial martial artists.

This was also why the Black Hei Hei Ying Zunzhe didn't suspect whether he had opened his meridians, and why Ai Haike recognized him and retreated immediately.

With such thick Primordial internal Qi, you say you don't understand sword techniques? Who are you lying to?

For five consecutive days, it was calm and peaceful. Dou Changsheng deliberately avoided human smoke. Villages and towns were bound to have the enemy's spies, so it was better not to provoke them.

The movies and TV shows from the previous life weren't watched in vain. Going to an inn to rest, he would be knocked out by a bag of Mongolian sweat medicine by the waiter.

Even if your martial arts are world-class, you can't withstand the endless stream of enemies—waiters, passersby, merchants, etc. As long as they are people, they are possible, and they are impossible to guard against.

Rather than going and being terrified, it's better not to go at all.

This night, Dou Changsheng still planned to continue sleeping on the road.

Just as Dou Changsheng was considering it, at the end of the plain ahead, he saw shadows, which made Dou Changsheng's gaze sharp.

He could clearly see a group of figures riding black horses, holding curved blades high, galloping toward him from afar.

Seeing the other party's attire and the black horses, three words immediately appeared in Dou Changsheng's mind.

Black Ma Pi Gang.

It seemed that this route of his was indeed the route of the Earth Walker and Feng Zhongyi.

The Black Ma Pi Gang had about a hundred people. They rode black horses, galloping, their momentum shaking the sky, and the swordsmen shouted and roared, actually giving people a sense of thousands of troops.

Bathed in the bloody sunset, they swept over.

Charging at the front was a silver-armored knight, tall and mighty, with a pair of cold and ruthless eyes under

As the silver-armored knight charged, he slowly unbuckled his sword sheath; the blade was two feet and four inches long, feeling heavy in his hand.

The Black Ma Pi Gang is just a Jianghu gang, yet now it actually possesses one-third of the military's momentum.

Is this a battle formation?

The enemy has stopped at nothing to rob the military pay, actually gifting such forbidden items to the Black Ma Pi Gang; are they not afraid of playing with fire and burning themselves in the end?

Dou Changsheng narrowed his eyes, one hand already gripping the sword hilt.

In an instant, his fresh blood boiled, and power and courage surged into his body like a flood.

This time it is not a Jianghu brawl, but a battle formation charge.

When meeting on a narrow path, the brave one wins.

Dou Changsheng did not dodge; he directly clamped his legs against the horse's belly. The horse, feeling the pain, immediately launched a charge.

Not retreating, but advancing.

The heroic spirit in his heart was constantly surging upward.

He knows the enemy's background and flaws, and his Primordial internal Qi is still so abundant.

Dou Changsheng's self-confidence began to rise steadily.

Charging the formation alone best demonstrates courage.

He thrust his sword out, and his Primordial internal Qi surged out, venting from the tip of the sword.

The pure white sword radiance instantly broke through three inches, reaching six inches, and it was still rising continuously; in the blink of an eye, it became a one-foot sword radiance.

The Fearless Sword Art is a sword of courage; with heroic spirit soaring in the heart and no fear of life or death, the sword art naturally becomes strong.

Under the sword radiance, he was invincible.

A member of the Black Ma Pi Gang had his chest pierced instantly and then fell under the horse.

The second sword, a blind sweep.

The sword radiance was illusory, no longer bright, with signs of melting inch by inch.

This sword was not the Fearless Sword Art, so its power was greatly reduced, but it was already enough; a one-foot sword Qi cuts through everything.

Whether it was a scimitar or flesh and blood, everything was split in two.

The obstacles to his advance were directly swept away.

The Black Ma Pi Gang, whose charging momentum was unstoppable, was directly torn apart from the northwest by someone.

The third sword, a thrust again.

The Fearless Sword Art was no longer awkward; the circulation of Primordial internal Qi was already smooth and easy, the consumption was reduced again, and the power had increased to a certain extent.

The opponent is so weak.

Dou Changsheng is a hundred times more confident.

This sword art is naturally stronger.

In the blink of an eye, he had killed his way through the Black Ma Pi Gang; no one could block a single sword.

The remaining Black Ma Pi Gang members scattered in a flurry, not gathering together to attempt another attack.

The fierce man who had killed his way through their charge had already chilled their hearts; where would they still have the courage to block him? They are just a gang, not an army, merely a rabble.

Dou Changsheng's blood surged, his whole body was hot, this was a great slaughter.

He couldn't help but look back, only to see half a suit of silver armor on the ground; this was a corpse cut in half at the waist. He had just been carried away by the moment and was hacking wildly, not noticing when the enemy leader had been hacked to death.

Forget it, no need to dwell on it.

The Fearless Sword Art is just an ordinary Primordial sword art, but its purity is too good.

Dou Changsheng admits that this sword art is too satisfying.

But its shortcomings are also too severe; once timidity arises, it is useless.

And when facing a strong enemy, how many are not afraid?

To sum it up in one sentence, it is an artifact for bullying the weak!

In the distance, the Earth Walker peered at the battlefield, watching the figure riding a horse and continuing forward; his shadow kept lengthening, as if he were a god or a demon.

The three-foot rusty long sword shone brilliantly under the blood-colored sunset.

It made people feel cold in their hearts and tremble all over.

After a long while, the Earth Walker's lips moved, and he spat out a few words: "This Dou Changsheng, why is he not right?"

"He is stronger than when he killed Wang Xiong last time."

Beside him, Feng Zhongyi spoke in a deep voice: "It's not that he is stronger, but that he hides too deeply; last time was not his limit at all."

"He's not even twenty years old yet? How did he get such abundant Primordial internal Qi?"

"The Three Primordials' Return Qi Technique is not a supreme art known for abundant internal Qi, is it?"

Feng Zhongyi couldn't help but look at the Earth Walker and say: "We prepared for several days, and it was a complete waste of effort; he easily killed his way through."

"Our plan has gone bankrupt."

"Should we still go up now?"

The Earth Walker gritted his teeth and said: "We must go up."

"Otherwise, if this continues, Dou Changsheng will reach Jianmen Pass."

"Isn't Ai Haike nearby?"

"Call him, and we will launch a night raid together."

"I don't believe that with three Primordial Realm martial artists, we can't beat one in a sneak attack."
