Asking of a General's Strength, Wishing to Write a Treatise

Two doctors, half-squatting beside Old Kai, endured the stench, took out some herbs, applied them to the wounds, and then pressed several points on his body.

"Hiss..." Old Kai gasped in pain.

After exchanging a few words in hushed tones, one of the doctors said to Xiao Jian, "It seems to be a superficial injury; it will take some time to heal. During this period, it's best not to let this person go out for training."

"Oh..." Xiao Jian replied casually, but the soldiers who followed him sneered.

"It's better not to train him. Every time I see his old face, I can't help but want to hit him."

"What's the use of his training? Once on the battlefield, he'll just have to sneak around and hide; he won't know how to kill the enemy at all."

"Pah! Coward!"

The discussions were filled with intense hatred and disgust. These soldiers, after fighting on the battlefield for a long time, had become seasoned veterans and were bound to become complacent. They learned to protect themselves and avoid danger.

Everything has its limits. No matter how much you try to avoid it, sometimes you still have to face it. That's why even those veteran soldiers have a lot of contempt for this Old Kai.

These words would make anyone else feel uncomfortable, let alone Old Kai, who was the one in question. But Qiu Yan noticed that there was no sadness or disappointment in Old Kai's eyes, nor was there any despair or lifelessness. Instead, there was an increasingly firm belief in him, as if the more others scolded him, the more steadfast his conviction became!

"Indeed, there's more to it than meets the eye. I wonder what this person is so determined to hold onto, but since this thought can influence my Fortune and is connected to the <Essentials of the Military Classics>, it must be related to the Great Rui Martial Arts."

Lost in thought, Qiu Yan took a step and walked into the tent from outside, slowly approaching Old Kai.

The closer you get, the more pungent the stench of sweat mixed with the smell of blood becomes.

"Hmm?" Old Kai, barely able to open his eyes, looked at Qiu Yan approaching with a puzzled and wary expression, and opened his mouth to ask. But the movement aggravated his wound, making him wince in pain, and he ultimately couldn't speak.

Qiu Yan didn't say much, but came to his side. He reached out and grabbed, and Old Kai trembled, feeling a vast power envelop him, but it vanished in an instant.

"Oh? No wonder it's a military camp; even remotely activating Qi and Blood is difficult."

Thinking this, Qiu Yan bent down, reached out and pressed his hand against the other man's chest. He exhaled a surge of Qi and Blood and qi, which flowed into Old Kai's chest. Lao Kai's pale face immediately changed. The paleness faded, revealing a bit of vitality. The pain in his body also dissipated, and his wounds began to heal and scab over!

"This is..." Old Kai's expression changed, and a surge of powerful energy slowly filled his weak body.

"I'd like to have a good chat with you sometime, but I have things to do first!" With that, Qiu Yan got up and walked away, only to be met with Xiao Jian's questioning gaze.

"Scholar, you..." But before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically. His Qi and Blood surged violently!

Not only Xiao Jian, but the other soldiers present also sensed it, and the Sha Qi and Qi and Blood emanating from their bodies fluctuated!

However, the soldiers had almost no cultivation, so this fluctuation did not attract their attention. But Xiao Jian was different. As soon as he sensed the change in his Qi and Blood, he rushed out of the tent, looked up at the sky, and his expression became increasingly solemn.

In the sky, ripples that are difficult for ordinary people to see are rapidly expanding, changing, and blooming. The entire sky is like a mirror, reflecting all kinds of scenes, as if there are warhorses neighing and soldiers charging into battle!

Boom!

A terrifying pressure descended, surging and violent to the extreme!

The Qi and Blood covering the entire barracks was shaken and swayed under the pressure of this force. The energy was drawn together, and many soldiers sensed something was wrong, feeling a sense of oppression.

This feeling was not unfamiliar to them! They had encountered similar situations more than once in their previous encounters with the Left Wise King of Rouluo!

"The camp has been attacked!"

Several exclamations rang out, and the entire camp sprang into action. The squad leader and fire chief summoned their soldiers and subordinates, while others quickly donned armor, picked up weapons, and marched in formation.

Amidst the bustling crowd, Yang Zhong, standing at the Earth Gate, apologized to Pang Qianru and returned to the barracks.

Watching the man's retreating figure, Pang Qianru thought to herself, "Who is this person? He can actually shake the military camp's formation and break through the Qi and Blood and qi. Could the rumors be true? Can that Left Wise King of Rouluo really control the Military School Order?"

As she spoke, she looked up at the sky, and in her eyes were reflected the obscure and ever-changing patterns of Order in the heavens.

After the covering of Qi and Blood that enveloped the barracks was shaken, the Qi and Blood that spread everywhere began to surge and did not disperse. However, as the pressure became stronger, a series of Military School Order slowly appeared in the sky. Any soldier or Local Militia member with martial arts skills, military rank, or experience on the Sand Battlefield could feel the intense pulsation of their own will!

"Another powerful figure has launched an attack! But why at this time and in this place? The army has not yet marched north, and the generals in the city are not far away. If they concentrate their efforts, they can easily intervene. What use would it be if they shook the military camp?"

The Local Militia, who had been working outside the camp, returned to their quarters in an orderly fashion, hoes in hand, showing little sign of panic and even having time to chat.

Not only the Local Militia, but also the armored soldiers with swords, after their initial surprise, all calmed down.

In contrast, Xiao Jian seemed more anxious and somewhat at a loss, mainly because he knew exactly what had happened at the city gate.

"Could it be that the Rouluo are coming to investigate so soon?"

Amidst his anxiety and uncertainty, Xiao Jian couldn't help but look towards Qiu Yan, but all he saw was Qiu Yan's retreating figure!

Shock!

The ground shook, Qiu Yan pushed off the ground, leaping into the air and rushing towards the distance!

"What is he going to do?" Seeing this, Xiao Jian was even more puzzled, but at present, he and Yang Zhong were the highest-ranking soldiers in the military camp, and it was difficult for them to get away and catch up!

"Hahaha! As expected of the Great King, even before using the Order, the mere aura of Order has suppressed these Central Plains barracks of two-legged sheep! They keep talking about comprehending the Order, but all they've comprehended are useless things! Unlike us Rouluo people, who can comprehend the spirit and know that the essence of the world is the survival of the fittest, where the strong prey on the weak!"

Outside the camp, a figure sped towards them, revealing himself to be one of the four Hu people. He was tall, with a thick beard, and his eyes were filled with madness and bloodlust!

Within his chest, Qi and Blood circulated. In his flesh and blood, a crystal-clear bead was embedded in his bones and muscles, constantly emitting waves of Qingliang energy, protecting him from the ripples of Order, and even drawing in Karma, condensing into an outline in his vision.

The outline became clearer and clearer, slowly coalescing into the figure of a scholar, tall and slender, with bright eyes and a handsome face that exuded a faint scholarly air.

This is not True Person, but a projection formed under the guidance of Order, reflected in the hearts of these Hu people.

Upon seeing this figure, the Hu people was overjoyed.

"A scholar? In the Central Plains, the one who has grasped the order of killing and warfare is actually a scholar! Truly, heaven is helping me! It is destined that Rouran will rise to power! Those scholars in the Central Plains are the easiest to deal with!"

The scene he had experienced a few days ago flashed through his mind again.

"That old bastard I tortured to death earlier was supposedly Grand Confucian from the Central Plains. His very voice was so powerful that even the King's Force of Order couldn't withstand it—it was utterly terrifying. It's a pity he willingly offered his neck for slaughter for a few lowly commoners; how utterly laughable! He even talked about spreading Human Path to the world, about letting millions of people enjoy worldly blessings—what a joke! If the lowly commoners are enjoying themselves, who are we enslaving? Besides, if they're all enjoying themselves, how can we demonstrate the nobility of our bloodline? Hmm?"

Just as he was muttering to himself, a flash of light suddenly appeared in front of him, and the figure that had been reflected in his mind appeared right in front of him!

"It's that scholar who grasped the Slaughter Order!" The Hu people sneered upon seeing him. "Judging from his movements, he also has cultivation, but since he's just a scholar, his cultivation is limited. Yet he recklessly came here, saving us some trouble. The King's original intention was to use the Order to pressure the Central Plains army camp, creating a gap in the Qi-Blood Grand Formation for me to enter and capture people, but that was ultimately dangerous. Now that the other party has delivered himself to our doorstep, that's a different story."

Thinking this, he stopped in his tracks. His inner False Core spun, his Seven Souls merged, his Three Souls formed a womb, his Kidney Fire surged, and the nature of his body changed. He resonated with the surrounding earth, his aura surging!

Boom!

Behind him, the ground trembled, dust rose, like a curtain, blending with the surging ripples of Order in the sky, making his figure seem to grow much taller in an instant!

This is a method of amplifying one's own imposing presence to intimidate others!

The Thunderous Voice!

"Who goes there? State your name at once! I am one of the four great generals under the Left Wise King of Rouluo, and my name is..."

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, a giant hand made of True Essence slammed down!

Golden Core True Essence Explodes!

One of the four great generals hadn't even finished speaking when his body shattered. Fortunately, his False Core transformed, changing its nature, and was about to merge into the sand. Unexpectedly, Divine Sense surged from his True Essence palm, directly capturing and gathering his scattered body into the sand! A soul struggled within it, and flesh and blood gradually reformed!

"Four great generals? How is your combat strength? Are you the weakest among them?" Not far away, Qiu Yan kept moving, flipped his hand, and his True Essence palm dissipated, swirling around his body and turning into a barrier!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The surrounding sand boiled and surged forth in waves, extremely solid and sharp as knives, imbued with the Martial Dao Fist Intent!

It was clearly the other side making a desperate last stand!

Splash!

But no matter how thick the sand was, it was ultimately unable to break through the barrier of True Essence! It scattered and did not harm Qiu Yan in the slightest!

"I'll use you all to help me condense my recent insights into a chapter!" As he spoke, Qiu Yan flipped his wrist again, and a brush appeared in his hand. He then drew a line in the air!

The ink appeared in mid-air!

"Ah!!!"

With a scream, the Hu people's body disintegrated into grains of sand, and a False Core flew out. Qiu Yan caught it in mid-air, flicked it with his finger, and the soul inside trembled, revealing its Fortune and Karma!

This Karma extends far beyond, pointing directly to three other people, and...

Left Wise King Rouluo!
