949 Vanguard Marshal (1/2)
The team captain's expression was rather ugly. The young man clearly looked down on him, and even looking down on the Fengyu army.
Where were they? Everywhere within a hundred-mile radius was entirely under their Fengyu army's sphere of influence. Also, they were only a vanguard unit. The main force behind them was also constantly advancing toward the front lines. For him to dare to cause trouble, the troublemaker was either insane or a fool. Who did he think he was?
The captain was furious, but he did not rashly advance. Instead, he led his subordinates in gradually retreating until they were out of the house. It was very obvious that he was no match for this young man. Waiting for reinforcements was the wisest decision.
”Young master, you'd better run away, quickly. They're with the Fengyu army. Rumor has it that the vanguard troops already have more than a hundred thousand soldiers. Everywhere they go, it's as though bandits passed through. There is no evil that they haven't committed. You stood up for our family, and for that I am eternally grateful. But, right now, I do not dare ask you to put yourself in danger.”
The old man shook his head desolately. Facing the Fengyu army, it was hard for anyone to have any hope. With just a youth, how could be possibly save his family? It would most likely be hard for the youth to save even himself.
”Old man, you need not worry. Please rest in the house. As for these armies, I will deal with them myself.”
Mo Wen smiled plainly. The culture of that small mountain village was still simple and kind-hearted, without any dishonest intentions. He waved his hand and released a beam of glittering green light, enveloping the old man, old woman and the young girl.
This was the life energy Mo Wen had absorbed while practicing the Celestial Scripture: Sun and Moon. It contained a rich life aura. Back then in the Primeval World, he managed to cultivate not only the Yin and Yang Qi. This life energy, also, was a very important reward. This energy was quite miraculous. It was best suited to saving people and treating illnesses. For a Miracle Physician, the value of life energy was above that of Yin and Yang Qi.
In the instant that the green energy enveloped the three of them, the old man and old woman, who were injured by the soldiers, had healthy complexions. The internal injuries that they had, in reality, suddenly healed, and they did not feel anything anymore. Moreover, their entire bodies felt radiant, and the impurities and toxins inside them were continually driven out. The young girl who was bathed in the green glow was also marked by the light. Her skin became more and more supple, bright and pink.
Mo Wen did all of this casually. He walked out of the house. There was a small path outside, and there were other houses opposite this one. The winding walkway led up the mountain with houses on both sides.
”You all aren't good people, either. As soldiers, you should be protecting your country, supporting the weak and stopping the violent. How can you act like bandits?”
The few soldiers who had retreated from the house were guarding the entrance. They weren't leaving; clearly, they were waiting for reinforcements to come so that they could attack Mo Wen. Mo Wen coldly snorted. With a snap of his fingers, shapeless waves instantly rippled outward.
The next moment, those few soldiers fell to the ground one by one. They rolled and screamed on the ground while clutching their stomachs, as though they were suffering from enormous pain.
”Who dares to harm my soldiers?”
Suddenly, an angry roar sounded from afar. It was as deep as thunder, and the voice was energetic. When the person spoke, he was still a thousand meters away. However, in the blink of an eye, he had appeared nearby, walking on the air.
”Tribune, save us.”
When the captain, who was rolling on the ground and clutching his stomach, saw his officer, he cried for help immediately. The captain had no idea what was happening to him. It felt like his whole body was in agonizing pain. It was a sensation more painful than being burned alive.
The tribune was a middle-aged man with a burly figure. He had a rather imposing manner. To be able to become a tribune in the army, he was doubtless not someone to be trifled with.
”Who are you? State your name.”
As soon as the tribune arrived, he checked the physical condition of the soldiers immediately. In truth, he could not figure out what was wrong with their bodies, so he had no idea how to tackle the situation. His facial expression grew serious.
”You are not qualified to speak with me. Call your highest ranking general over. Otherwise, if it's just a few of you here, don't blame me for being impolite.”
Mo Wen said this plainly. The tribune's cultivation level was not low. He was an Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial arts practitioner. However, at Mo Wen's current realm, ordinary ancient martial arts practitioners were already insignificant in his eyes.
Although this world was a very bizarre one in which even ordinary troops - and, seemingly, everyone - practiced martial arts, it was hard for an absolute expert to emerge from this type of army. Mo Wen speculated that their general's cultivation was not necessarily very high.
For Mo Wen, people below the Primordial Soul realm were almost no threat to him. No matter how many people were in the army, they could not hurt him. Even if he encountered Primordial Soul realm strong practitioners, he would not necessarily be afraid. Mo Wen had just arrived and, initially, had not wanted to cause any trouble. However, ever since he had encountered all this, he did not feel not afraid of causing a scene. Also, by stirring up trouble, it would be easier to understand the state of the martial arts in this world.
He dimmly sensed that this world might be far superior to the main space's surrounding Inner worlds. At the very least, he had not heard of any Inner world that was so huge and had such a strong martial arts culture.
”The highest ranking general?”
The tribune was stunned upon hearing this. He had never imagined that this youth would speak so arrogantly. Their highest ranking general was the commander of Fengyu's vanguard troop. He was in command of more than a few hundred thousand troops. Among all of the Fengyu's generals, the vanguard commander's position ranked among the top five.
How could a mere brat be compared to the dignified Lord Marshal?
”I seem to have encountered someone who doesn't know his place.”
