Chapter 264 - 264 27 - Worth it【2 in 1】_3

Chapter 264: Chapter 27 – Worth it【2 in 1】_3 Chapter 264: Chapter 27 – Worth it【2 in 1】_3 The captain of the Heavenly Horse team chuckled loudly, spitting out disdainful words: “You’re making a lot of sense, there’s only one thing I want to say to you now.”

The man subconsciously asked, “What words?”

The captain of the Heavenly Horse team spat out cruelly, “Fuck your ancestors!”

The man’s face sank instantly, and he coldly said, “You’re asking for death!”

“It’s you who is asking for death!”

The captain of the Heavenly Horse team felt that the brother who was injured just now had evened his breath, and roared, “Brothers, let’s go together, it’s his turn!”

Seventeen Heavenly Horses jumped together, of which the first twelve formed a group, soaring into the sky like heavenly horses crossing the gap!

The remaining five supplemented the formation with the Five Elements Rotation Array, filling in the gaps during the heavenly horses’ advance.

Even though they numbered seventeen, their movements were well-coordinated, not the slightest bit chaotic, and the aura of killing had already locked onto the man in front of them!

“Twelve Heavenly Horses?!”

The man squinted, “It really is you guys!”

“Chop him down!”

Following a ferocious roar, seventeen blades waved through the air, creating a magnificent waterfall of light in the sky!

The torrential blade light poured down from the sky!

Heavenly Horses fly high, the meteor showers fall!

The man saw the formidable onslaught of seventeen Heavenly Horses, yet he neither dodged nor avoided. He stood upright with both legs, constantly waving the blade in his hand, violently colliding with the Heavenly Horses in the sky, each blade accurately intercepted.

In just a blink of an eye, there had been thousands of collisions.

However, human strength sometimes runs out, even though the man had astonishing strength, facing the combined assault of the seventeen Heavenly Horses, he did not falter at all. After thousands of collisions, he was still inevitably exhausted. With a long cry, he rose from the ground, his body made a bend in the air, heads towards the dense forest in the distance, his voice still lingering: “Twelve Heavenly Horses, you are indeed as reputed, but you alone are not enough to protect the divine doctor! If you don’t want to die, stay away from the divine doctor, otherwise, the next time I come, it won’t be by myself.”

Before his voice had even finished, he had disappeared into the distance.

Boom.

The seventeen Heavenly Horses landed in unison, each one panting heavily, their faces flushed red.

The opponent was a heavenly level power all along, even if our side attacks with seventeen in unison, plus the advantage of the formation, to force his retreat was already at our limit, to assassinate him, is simply impossible!

“This man is a heavenly level power, his cultivation is higher than expected.”

The captain took a deep breath and said, “But if it comes to life and death, we can take him down if we pay a little price!”

The others felt the same.

After all, since its founding, the Twelve Heavenly Horses didn’t know how many experts they had fought and killed, whose individual strengths were far superior to theirs.

Although this man is very strong, he is still within the range that we can kill when we work together.

The only difference is how many brothers will fall in battle along with him.

“Let’s go!”

The captain paused for a moment, then immediately issued an command.

The horse-drawn carriage started up again, slowly moving forward.

Each of the Heavenly Horses had another feeling in mind: once they set foot on this path, maybe they could never go back to the Western Army.

There was only one person this time, apparently with the intention of probing, to confirm our fighting strength.

The next wave won’t be a single person anymore.

By the time they come again, a few of the brothers will probably go down, or maybe all of them will go down.

But, nobody hesitated, and nobody turned back.

They still galloped and whipped their horses as freely as ever.

If they can divert this wave of attention for the divine doctor, allowing him to safely leave, then it’s worth it!

“You three, even if we’re all dead, you can’t help!”

The captain spoke in a low voice hurriedly: “The two who are playing the role of guards, can fight and can die when necessary, but Ma Shiyi who is playing the role of divine doctor, you have to remember firmly… even if we’re all dead, you cannot act, and you must maintain your character until death!”

“If they attempt to take you away pretending you’re the divine doctor, simply let them, buying as much time as you can for the real doctor,”

“Once you are in place, can’t pretend anymore and it’s time to act, kill as many as you can. If you are unable to eliminate any, it doesn’t matter. By then, the doctor’s safety should essentially be secured. Understand?”

A deep voice came from the carriage, “Understood! Fear not, I, Ma Shiyi, will neither disappoint you nor let our brothers’ deaths be in vain!”

“Good! Good brother!”

The leader laughed heartily and suddenly shouted, “Advance! Advance! Move faster.”

All the Heavenly Horses laughed heartily, whipping their horses to move faster, off in the distance they sped.

Leaving these words behind, “The three behind us, don’t follow too closely. When other paths appear, take those… haha…”

Dust kicked up by the horse hooves, they were gone in an instant.

…

Feng Yin, who had witnessed the whole process, fell silent.

Zhu Weiran sighed, “They are making a sacrifice, pretending to be the doctor and his crew, drawing attention… Their return journey won’t be peaceful. These dozen men… they have a grim fate if they don’t have reinforcements.”

He turned to Feng Yin, “We should take a different path.”

Feng Yin looked at Zhu Weiran, his voice rasp, “A different path?”

Surprise and shock filled his voice. He did not expect Zhu Weiran would suggest such a thing.

“Yes, a different path.”

Zhu Weiran responded, “This is not out of fear, but to honor their sacrifice. If we keep following, we may be mistaken by Feiyi Hall’s warriors… Their sacrifice will become meaningless. They’ll die with regrets, unable to rest in peace!”

“Their sacrifice is made for your safety. If you insist on following them, what’s the point of their journey?”

Zhu Weiran said, “I know it’s hard for you to accept. But it’s the right decision.”

Feng Yin sighed deeply.

Looking at the dust the Heavenly Horses stirred up in the distance, he said softly, “I understand your point of view; I also know this is the right choice. But this correct choice is not the most humane. If I take a different path and abandon them to their fate… am I still human?”

“Can our conscience really take it?”

Feng Yin quietly asked, “A cliché, for sure, but for the sake of both of us: If we take a different path now and abandon them, when we later face our internal demons during our pursuit of martial arts, Uncle Zhuang, can you truly overcome it?”

Zhu Weiran was silent for a long time, “I may never reach that level, but even if I falter at that crucial moment, I would still make the same decision now.”

Feng Yin replied, “But I believe, in the future, I’d surely reach that level. Either the future me or the current me, I do not wish to erase my conscience!”

Zhu Weiran sighed.

“I knew you wouldn’t just walk away.”

As Zhuang Weiran said these words, there was a noticeable tone of disappointment in his voice; but, more importantly, there was a sense of exhilaration and reassurance.

Kid Feng is not heartless.

Facing this situation, he was clear-headed. He understood right from wrong, but he also resolutely chose the ‘wrong’ decision.

It’s because of people like him, making these so-called ‘wrong’ choices, that many timeless legends are created – stories of heroes that are both worthy of praise and reduced to tears.

It’s easy to understand the situation at hand, anyone with a little sense could do it,

But to hold fast to your principles, while also being aware of the situation – such people might not qualify to be competent commanders or even great leaders – but they are definitely the most reliable of friends. Always!

Knowing such a person, being friends with such a person, you won’t regret it in this lifetime.

Feng Yin lightly waved his fan, giving a carefree smile as he started walking forward.

Feng Ying crouched on his shoulder, a fluffy white ball.

Zhu Weiran and his wife exchanged glances, followed with a smile, and strode onward.

Following such a person gave them more than just a sense of worth; it also provided them with a constant feeling of ease and safety.

Even if the path ahead was fraught with danger, what would it matter?!
