“If I were a first-rank martial artist, Great Qin’s army wouldn’t be able to keep my Great Xia diplomatic mission.” ng Bai’s tone was calm, but the confidence within was simply about to break through the horizon.
ng Bai’s ability to lead an army didn’t lose to anyone in this world.
If his cultivation could reach the first rank of the Martial Dao, he would have no shortcomings. Unless Great Qin brazenly mobilized its army… Otherwise, with the two thousand elite soldiers of the Great Xia diplomatic mission and a first-rank martial artist, ng Bai was confident that he could lead the Great Xia diplomatic mission to leave Great Qin.
But this was provided he was a first-rank martial artist. How was it possible?
He sighed. Before he was injured, he might have had a chance to break through to the first rank.
But ever since he was injured, his cultivation level kept dropping. Until now, he didn’t even have a bit of spiritual essence left in his body. Let alone a first-rank martial artist, he was far inferior to even a ninth-rank martial artist.
“In that case, I think there’s sothing we can do,” Zhou Shu said. “Great General, you haven’t taken the pill I gave you, right?”
“Not yet.”
Zhou Shu changed the topic too quickly, and even ng Bai couldn’t keep up.
They were originally discussing how to leave Great Qin, yet he suddenly asked about his cultivation. Now, he suddenly brought up the dicinal pill he had given him. What exactly did he want to say?
While ng Bai was confused, Zhou Shu already continued, “Great General, why don’t you take the pill first, and then we can talk.”
“Take the pill?” ng Bai’s brows furrowed slightly. He didn’t think that a re pill could cure his injuries.
If it was that easy, why would he have suffered so many years of pain?
“You Marquis, the matter at hand is—” ng Bai said. He was already on the verge of death, so he didn’t care about his own life and death.
If he sacrificed his life to allow Zhou Shu to leave safely and save a talent for Great Xia, he felt that it would be worth it.
“Great General, did you forget what I told you before? Why don’t you try taking the pill at a mont of crisis?” Zhou Shu interrupted. “Now, isn’t the current situation a mont of crisis?”
ng Bai looked at Zhou Shu, his expression sowhat grave.
Could it be that the pill he gave him was a pill that allowed him to erupt all his strength for a short period of ti by consuming the rest of his life?
Otherwise, why did he have to consu it at a critical mont?
If it really was that type of pill, ng Bai didn’t mind taking it.
He knew that with his current condition, he would only have one final attack left after consuming the dicinal pill. Once the dicinal effect wore off, he would definitely die.
“Okay, I’ll take it.” ng Bai nodded.
If he was given a few days, or even if he didn’t recover his full strength, even if he only recovered 50-60% of his peak strength, he was still confident that he could lead the Great Xia diplomatic mission and fight against Great Qin. ng Bai asked his guard to bring the porcelain bottle over. Seeing this, Zhou Shu sighed.
He didn’t tell ng Bai the truth about the Breakthrough Pill, so ng Bai didn’t take it too seriously.
If he didn’t bring this pill with him at all tis, how could he consu it in tis of danger?
ng Bai opened the stopper of the porcelain bottle, revealing a thumb-sized pill inside. Without much hesitation, he put the pill into his mouth.
The pill lted as soon as it entered his mouth. It transford into a cool aura that entered his stomach.
Zhou Shu stared at ng Bai without blinking.
He was also very curious whether this Breakthrough Pill was useful to ng Bai or not. The effect of the Breakthrough Pill was very clear. It could defy all external conditions and allow martial artists below the first rank to advance a rank.
Defying all external conditions… ng Bai’s injuries could be considered external conditions, right?
Back then, when Yin Wuyou and Sun Gongping were seriously injured, the Breakthrough Pill had allowed them to directly break through a rank. ng Bai should also be fine, right?
But ng Bai’s situation was a bit different.
He had lost his cultivation due to his serious injuries.
There was no way to know his current rank.
In terms of spiritual essence, he was indeed not even a ranked martial artist.
But when he was at his peak, he was a second-rank martial artist. In terms of the Martial Dao, it was possible to call him a second-rank martial artist.
Thus, whether or not the Breakthrough Pill would be useful to ng Bai, Zhou Shu didn’t know.
“It doesn’t work?” Zhou Shu stared at ng Bai. After a long ti, ng Bai’s body didn’t change at all.
He had neither broken through to the first rank nor the ninth rank of the Martial Dao.
After he consud the Breakthrough Pill, it seed to be completely ineffective.
“That shouldn’t be the case,” Zhou Shu muttered. The Breakthrough Pill was a reward from the Legendary Armant Canon. It was impossible for it to be ineffective.
No matter how ng Bai’s cultivation was determined, at the very least, he should have the strength of a ninth-rank martial artist. “Sigh…” ng Bai was just about to open his mouth to speak. His body was already like a dried up lamp. Even if it was a pill that burned his life force, it might not necessarily be useful to him.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
Boom!
A powerful aura suddenly emitted from ng Bai’s body.
The expression of the carriage driver and bodyguard, who had always been guarding ng Bai, changed greatly. Just as he was about to move forward, the tyrannical aura already directly pushed him several ters away, smashing him into the wall with a bang. Zhou Shu also felt a powerful pressure coming at him. He stood rooted to the ground, not moving at all.
His face revealed a look of pleasant surprise. This aura, did ng Bai break through to the first rank?
Zhou Shu looked over, only to see ng Bai’s eyes tightly shut as heaven and earth vital qi crazily surged into his body.
In the air, an enormous vortex that was over a hundred ters in diater appeared. Heaven and earth vital qi ford the shape of a funnel, and ng Bai was below it.
