Chapter 286: Chapter 44 Why? Chapter 286: Chapter 44 Why? “Great… Great Marshal! This is true…truly true!!”
“All the brothers, they’ve all grown… and it’s a substantial improvent. Many people are on the verge of breaking through their limits! The smooth and subtle changes that have taken place are beyond imagination, what… exactly what’s happening?!”
The Heavenly Horse leaders were so excited they couldn’t even articulate their thoughts properly for a while.
Considering their many years spent in brutal battles, they all bore injuries while accumulating countless battle experiences. Due to the excessive toll it took on their bodies leaving them weak and drained, their cultivation advancent was inevitably sluggish.
They knew this all too well, while they don’t bemoan their fate, it was sothing they chose to ignore. If the Ma brothers hadn’t pointed it out, they wouldn’t have noticed anything amiss because they had gotten so used to living with their various injuries for years.
But now… after this wake-up call, upon repeated introspection and self-examinations, they were astonished to discover that many of their old injuries had significantly healed.
Even so more serious injuries were in a slow state of recovery.
What’s more, their cultivation, which had been stagnant before, showed signs of vigorous montum!
The dried-up riverbed was once again bubbling with tiny streams. Although it was not much, they were continuous and flowing smoothly!
Sooner or later, these rivulets would fill up the entire riverbed!
What did this an?
It ant that their dream of martial arts could still be pursued. They still had room for improvent and there was hope of proceeding to the higher realm that they’d been yearning for!
This sort of transformation was nothing short of a rebirth!
But what was the source of all this? How did it happen!?
The leaders of the Heavenly Horse were so excited they were trembling all over, their eyes eagerly on Ma Daocheng and Ma Daogong.
“The situation is similar for all of us. Not only have our bodies recovered a great deal, our lost vitality has also been replenished. Our cultivation bottlenecks are showing signs of loosening. This has happened to all brothers who have been injured and undergone treatnt… and brothers who drank alcohol that night. This indicates that this can only be…”
Ma Daocheng spoke aningfully, “It seems like you truly understand now…”
“Could it really be… the doing of the Divine Physician Nan?! This… This…”
The Heavenly Horse leaders nearly fainted, their lips trembling: “This… Sothing that even immortals may not be able to achieve… Divine Physician Nan, owes us a great deal… This…”
They beca more incoherent with the increasing excitent, gradually becoming confused.
“Hmph!”
Ma Daogong rolled his eyes: “That night, when you were told to serve the wine, you guys were reluctant. Now you know its benefits, don’t you?”
“We know! We know!”
The leaders flushed with excitent: “It’s… too miraculous! Thank you, Great Marshal! Thank you for giving us such a chance against heaven!”
“Damn, you guys thank us what for? The person you should thank is Divine Physician Nan!”
Ma Daocheng gazed into the distance, reminiscing: “Nan, the Divine Physician, with just this act, has essentially turned our Great Qin’s Western Army into an elite force!”
No one contested this statent as it was nothing but the truth.
A person’s martial prowess, no matter how extraordinary, is difficult to influence the whole battlefield. But what if this person is a general?
What if it is a unit made up of such people?
Or a team that belongs to the elite forces of an army?
All of these represent different circumstances.
A martial arts expert in an army of thousands is hard-pressed to retreat unscathed, no matter how high his cultivation level is, unless he has reached the Earth level.
But in contrast, if a commanding general possesses considerable strength, the soldiers under his command, even if they are ordinary, are not necessarily unable to bring down even higher-level combatants who are several levels above them, let alone defeat or even kill them.
This has been proven ti and ti again!
This is the fundantal difference. It’s also the greatest illustration of the utility of the military, formations, and battle arrays!
Like how a person’s strength can stop a stream, but cannot halt the sea.
And the benefits Feng Yin has offered now, are for many!
Creating a group of combat-effective generals, a group of supre bodyguards who are already unbeatable in the battlefield.
He has also provided them with the foundation to advance further!
This sort of premise has led Ma Daocheng and Ma Daogong to start contemplating the future use of these n.
This is a significant and unknown amount of power to possess, especially against their old adversary Yan State they might battle with at any ti.
Given a little ti to grow, when they next et on the battlefield, they’ll undoubtedly dish out a huge surprise to their adversaries!
The eyes of the two brother marshals glinted with plans, each one capable of making their enemies distraught and unable to pull themselves together!
The Heavenly Horse captains standing by the two marshals were still stunned, rocking unsteadily on their legs.
Except this ti, it was not from shock, it was the realization of another crucial elent of this transformation!
Both of them thought of the wine at the sa ti.
Just now, Ma Daocheng had casually ntioned, “The wine… Have you forgotten it?”
Right, the wine was also a key factor!
The wine… could possibly create even more miracles!
With this thought, their bodies began to tremble once again.
The dicinal wine, most… No, it will definitely be able to create, heal more people!
“Great Marshal!”
The n trembled, “That… that wine…”
“Don’t worry about what you shouldn’t!”
Ma Daogong glared, “Our Western Army totals to several hundreds of thousands, yet we only have so much in reserve. It needs to be kept for ergencies… do you truly believe that future opportunities like this – or encountering such a divine individual with such miraculous ans – will be easy to co by?”
“Yes, yes, Great Marshal.”
With a thoughtful gaze, “Speaking of that, Ma Shiyi and the others should be returning soon. We haven’t heard from them in a while… I wonder how those guys are doing. After they see our progress, will they be astonished and envious?”
A hint of worry flashed in Ma Daogong’s eyes, but he firmly replied, “Regarding them… no news is good news… I expect… they should be back soon, right?”
His gaze pierced through the thick forests, focusing on the distant horizon, his expression worried.
My brothers, how are you all…?
Has your journey been safe?
If it’s possible, please return safely!
…
On the distant roads, there are three groups of horsen, each returning from a different direction.
Each person is glowing with vitality, full of energy.
Although nearly every one of them has wounds, and quite a few are being supported by their companions,
They all look relaxed, even happy, on their faces, including those who are injured.
Despite their bodies being covered in wounds, soaked in blood, they look like victorious generals, full of vigor and vitality.
“After all these battles, I actually advanced a rank… The hidden injury in my body has also healed by seventy to eighty percent, hahaha…”
“ too, too. It’s been a long ti since I’ve felt this liberated.”
“Though I didn’t advance, I can feel the block at my bottleneck loosening. Breaking through is just a matter of ti, hehe… ”
“This unlucky fellow who got injured is just unfortunate, to get injured precisely at such a critical ti.”
“I’m injured, but I’m not disabled. Besides, all my old wounds have healed, and even the lost original essence is replenished… Why do you look down on ? Maybe one day, I’ll surpass you!”
The man being carried raised his head and retorted angrily.
“You rascal, we begged you to take the dicine, but you didn’t. You insisted on enduring… you’re such a fool!”
“Shut up, that kind of miracle drug, each pill equates a life. If even my minor injuries need such dicine, wouldn’t that be a waste? Let’s just keep it! We might need it in the future!”
“Haha… Let’s go! When we return this ti, with such improvent, we will definitely shock them!”
“Let’s get moving!”
“The other two groups are okay, right?”
“It seems the enemy has focused all their military force on our group, what could possibly happen to them? Didn’t you see that even the chief followed one of the groups?”
“That’s true!”
“This trip is really satisfying. The Great Yan must have suffered quite a bit.”
“Who cares about them? The more they lose, the better. It’s best if they die out!”
“Let’s get moving…”
…
Over at the Western Army, the atmosphere is filled with joy from top to bottom.
But for Yan State on the other side, it’s not the sa.
Zhan Yixiang, the master of Feiyi Hall, looks somber as he observes Yao Jiuzui before him.
Yao Jiuzui is blood-soaked on one side of his body, with one shoulder almost shattered, he sits on a chair pallor-faced while a doctor is treating him.
Feiyi Hall has suffered considerable losses this ti.
Several vice hall masters and stewards have also hurried to the scene.
Upon seeing Yao Jiuzui’s current state, everyone was utterly shocked, remaining silent for a long ti.
After quite a while, the entire great hall was still silent.
“I don’t understand.”
Yao Jiuzui said in a low voice, his face pale, “What is the purpose of this operation?”
Zhan Yixiang stood in the center of the hall, hands behind his back, wearing black, emanating a cold solemnity.
Yao Jiuzui raised his head, looking at Zhan Yixiang’s back, insistently asking, “Master, why did we do this?”
“What’s the aning of it?”
“It’s co to this point, surely we can speak openly now? Is there any purpose to concealing anything?”
Zhan Yixiang remained silent, with his black robe blowing without wind, reflecting his unsettled mind.
Yao Jiuzui was extrely agitated, “Boss, do you know how many people we lost this ti?”
Without waiting for Zhan Yixiang to reply, he continued to speak.
“Boss, over the past fifteen years, Feiyi Hall has only lost seven Earth Level experts and one Heavenly Level cultivator.”
“But in this operation, we have lost as many as nine Earth Level experts, four Heavenly Level experts, and more than twenty people who have been severely wounded and unable to recover, even their path of cultivation has co to a halt!”
