Wang Chong said nothing. All his focus was on Wang Fu's body. Although he wasn't skilled in medicine, Wang Chong still had rich experience in martial arts.
His meridians are in chaos and his internal organs injured. Three important acupuncture points, the Tianchi, Qujing, and Shangfu, have all been damaged. As for his chest, it's only a superficial wound, and not a very serious one! The important thing is the Stellar Energy that Huoshu Huicang left in his body.
Wang Chong's mind whirred as a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
There were two foreign Stellar Energies in Wang Fu's body. One belonged to Huoshu Huicang, so the other naturally belonged to Jiaosiluo.
Jiaosiluo's Stellar Energy was tyrannical and fierce, but it was still rather lacking when compared to a Great General like Huoshu Huicang. It had definitely not been lucky for his big brother to run into Huoshu Huicang, so that he had been able to escape with his life was actually rather decent.
”Huoshu Huicang, Huoshu Huicang…”
Wang Chong muttered to himself, his heart filled with worry.
His big brother's situation wasn't very optimistic. He had been struck by a supreme technique from Ü-Tsang Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple, a technique completely alien to the traditions of the Central Plains. If that foreign Stellar Energy were not expelled, his big brother's fate was sealed. Probably not even Chen Shusun understood this.
It was hard to say just how many of the empire's generals Huoshu Huicang had killed using this tyrannical Stellar Energy. This technique wasn't very well-known right now, but it would be no secret in the future.
There's a way, there must be a way.
Wang Chong raised his head, his mind running through countless ideas. In order to expel the strange Stellar Energy of the Great Snow Mountain Holy Temple, one had to know the paths this Stellar Energy traveled. But the distance between the two lands meant that few people in the Central Plains knew of this. Wang Chong, however, was the exception.
That's right, Sanzang, Liuquan, Ziling…
Suddenly, Wang Chong understood and began to move.
Swooshswooshswoosh!
Without hesitation, Wang Chong held his fingers like a sword and sent out thin strands of Sword Qi through them. Like lightning, he jabbed at Wang Fu's Sanzang, Liuquan, and Ziling acupuncture points. He had no needles on him, so Wang Chong had to use thin strands of Sword Qi as their replacement. With these three strikes, three spurts of blood immediately burst out of Wang Fu's body.
”Young Master!”
Wang Chong's sudden moves had stunned Chen Shusun.
”Is there any water? Bring some over.”
Wang Chong ignored Chen Shusun, not even deigning to turn his head.
Though Chen Shusun was astonished at first, his expression slowly softened. He had originally wanted to stop Wang Chong, but for some reason, he decided to do otherwise after hearing Wang Chong's firm voice.
”Bring some water over!”
On a rainy day like this, there was no lack of water. A bowl was used to collect some rain water while Wang Chong took two thumb-sized pills from a brocade box in his bosom. Using the water, he helped Wang Fu swallow the pills.
Success will depend on these two pills, Wang Chong said to himself as he looked at Wang Fu's pale face.
The injuries inflicted in a battle between experts were not something any normal wound medicine could cure, and even some higher-level medicines were powerless. The two pills that Wang Chong had taken out had been extremely high-class medicines refined by the alchemists of the palace. Such pills were normally meant to be used for the Emperor's children, as well as the consorts and concubines.
Such items weren't even seen on the outside, much less sold. Not even the Imperial Princes could enjoy this pleasure.
Wang Chong had taken great risks to purchase these pills from the alchemists of the palace. These were all divine medicines that could save one's life, even more effective than the pill that he had given to the Demonic Emperor Old Man on their first meeting. Wang Chong had been saving them for himself, but he couldn't pay that any mind right now.
Wang Fu's breathing markedly improved after he ingested the two pills, and blood gradually began to return to his pale complexion. At this sight, Chen Shusun immediately took back whatever he had planned to say. No matter how slow he was, even he could tell that Wang Chong's methods had worked.
”Leave two people here to take care of Big Brother!”
With a sweep of his sleeve, Wang Chong stood up and left the tent.
His big brother had already consumed the divine medicine of the palace, so he was out of danger for now. His urgent mission was now to resolve the army's crisis.
Whoosh!
The rain was still pouring down, showing no sign of weakening.
Wang Chong's gaze swept over the battlefield like an eagle. He was completely unaware that his body was now exuding an intimidating aura, causing all the messengers and guards in the area to inadvertently lower their heads, an inexplicable respect emerging in their minds.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Wang Chong asked without turning his head, ”Uncle Chen, does Father know that Big Brother fell unconscious?”
”No.” Chen Shusun shook his head. ”Our army is a mix of infantry and cavalry, and isn't capable of escaping from the Tibetans. Given how the Tibetan army was nipping at our heels, Master and Eldest Young Master decided to set up a defensive line on these mountains as soon as they saw them and start the battle with the Tibetans. These mountains span over too great a distance, so Master took charge of the eastern defensive line while Eldest Young Master took charge here…”
