Chapter 988: Chapter 9: Miracles Really Do Happen [2-in-1]_4 Chapter 988: Chapter 9: Miracles Really Do Happen [2-in-1]_4 As she spoke, she took out a medicine and was about to administer it to Dong Tiesong.

Across from her, the black-clothed, masked person had been waiting for this moment, instantly boosting his spiritual power to its pinnacle.

It wasn’t just him alone, countless strands of spiritual power were raised in a flash, all focusing on the pill Dong Xiaoyan had taken out.

The true purpose of this arrow was not actually to kill Dong Tiesong, but this moment!

Dong Tiesong was the strongest warrior of the Cloud Palace camp, vital to the outcome of this battle, and now, grievously wounded, it made sense, both emotionally and logically, for Dong Xiaoyan to bring out lifesaving medicine!

As long as she carried real life-saving elixirs crafted by a divine physician on her person!

So much pure spiritual power focused on Dong Xiaoyan—no, to be precise, on the pill she had taken out.

In a split second, it was as if even space itself twisted.

The pill, under the scrutiny of countless spiritual powers, was compressed till it appeared almost transparent.

With a soft “pop,” the pill turned to smoke before it could enter Dong Tiesong’s mouth!

It had been forcefully burst by so many powerful strands of spiritual power working together!

“Oh no!”

Dong Xiaoyan’s pretty face showed anger, helplessness, and surprise. Stamping her foot, she exclaimed angrily, “How dare you!”

A group of black-clothed, masked people laughed heartily: “A mere pill to heal such a fatal wound? The young palace mistress is too naive.”

The leader of the masked people laughed heartily, “Young palace mistress, even without our spiritual power interference, do you really think a single pill can heal a chest wound inflicted by the world’s greatest archer? Isn’t that a bit too fanciful?”

Grinding her teeth, Dong Xiaoyan quickly took out a jade bottle from her bosom, hid behind Jiang Changhai, and hurriedly poured out a pill to administer to Dong Tiesong.

This time, the black-clothed, masked people were all motionless, as if deliberately giving Dong Xiaoyan time to feed Dong Tiesong the medicine, to see how much the enemy could recover, completely indifferent to this act of giving the opponent a breather.

Especially the leader among them, who watched Dong Tiesong’s pale face like a hawk, his gaze seeming to stick to Dong Tiesong’s face unblinkingly, reluctant to look away.

Although they were dozens of meters apart, his gaze was as if glued onto Dong Tiesong’s face, not wavering for an instant.

At this moment, the focused spiritual powers felt like dark clouds overhead, pressing down openly and unabashedly.

On the part of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, they, too, were anxious for Dong Tiesong to recover as soon as possible, to bolster their fighting power.

The opponents not making their move was harmless to them, in fact, it was advantageous.

Unnoticed by everyone, Feng Yin stood still in his original spot, not moving an inch, but a lone shadow had already silently burrowed into the ground, quietly traversing below, slipping into the roadside bushes, and then disappearing without a trace.

Farther away, a sharp yet unobtrusive gaze similarly settled on Dong Tiesong, although the look carried no pressure, it was even stickier than the gaze of the leader on the scene, carefully discerning every little change in Dong Tiesong, whether it was the color of his face, the look in his eyes, the frequency of his breath, the rise and fall of his chest, or even the tremble of his mouth corners.

He paid particular attention to the spot where blood was bleeding from the chest; it was of utmost importance.

Among all the people present, he alone knew best the strength he had used in that arrow shot, the kind of injury it would cause, and the likelihood of the injured surviving.

Moreover, he was aware of just how much spinning and soul-devouring power attached to the arrow, the extent of damage it could inflict on tendons, muscles, and internal organs.

He was crystal clear about each and every detail.

This was the demonstration of the strength of the world’s top archer.

His arrow had not been shot with full force, he hadn’t even used the spinning technique designed to burst internal organs, only a shot piercing the chest.

He was afraid that a direct kill shot on the spot would lose him the chance to confirm whether Dong Xiaoyan carried elixirs gifted by a divine physician, and to discover just how effective such medicines could be.

Jiang Changhai’s cloud of demonic energy surged, completely obscuring the activity behind him from the front.

In truth, Jiang Changhai himself knew that this cloak of demonic energy had minimal effect on the high-level experts opposite him, and was barely better than nothing.

But he still pushed his demonic energy to the very limit.

On one hand, he could fully conceal himself using it, making it difficult for The Other Side’s Cloud Piercing Arrow to lock onto him, and on the other hand, he tried to cover his fellow comrades as much as possible, after all, only a very few on the other side could see through the demonic fog.

Even though the Cloud Piercing Arrow was acclaimed as the finest in the world, in battles involving Cloud Top-tier fighters, every shot he took drained a considerable amount of his mental focus, aiming at just one target was his limit.

And as everyone watched intently, full of anticipation, Dong Tiesong’s ghastly pale complexion gradually returned to normal at a pace visible to the naked eye, his cyanotic lips regained color, and the dim light in his eyes gave way to a flickering sharpness.

This was something both sides could feel.

However, for that Cloud Piercing Arrow archer watching from afar, the sight seemed to shatter his entire worldview.

He felt as if his core beliefs had been upended.

As a divine archer who had spent his life practicing spiritual power and archery, he had slept with his bow and arrow since the age of three and never let them out of his hand, whether resting, practicing, eating, or sleeping.

After mastering the art of archery, he was perfectly clear about where each of his arrows would land, the extent of the damage inflicted, and how long it would take someone of any given cultivation level to recover—down to the minutest detail.

Even if it were the tendons, meridians, muscles, bones… even the blood flow and breath, he had an approximate idea of how long it would take for them to return to normal.

Take the arrow just now, for example. Although he hadn’t exerted his full strength, that arrow had still solidly pierced through Dong Tiesong’s heart meridian!

This meant that Dong Tiesong should have immediately sought a place to heal after being shot, and with the aid of precious spiritual medicine, he might have a chance of clinging to life. If he insisted on continuing to fight, he might maintain his combat strength for a short time, but he certainly wouldn’t live for long!

But now… from Dong Tiesong’s current reaction, he was shocked to find that the injury was healing, or at least rapidly moving in that direction!

This was truly terrifying!

It was known that strong individuals from Cloud Top were not easily injured and could recover swiftly, unless it was a fatal wound. Otherwise, it was extremely difficult for them to meet a true demise!

And the wound caused by that Cloud Piercing Arrow just now was fatal!

Yet Dong Tiesong, after ingesting that medicine, managed to move from a critical state to safety in an extremely short period, and was rapidly healing!

This was simply too shocking!

The Cloud Piercing Arrow archer’s eyes widened with amazement!

In his entire life, he had never encountered such a thing.

A single medicine.

A deadly injury being healed on the spot, with a visibly rapid recovery visible to the naked eye!?

What the hell kind of divine method was this?

While the Cloud Piercing Arrow archer was still in shock, he heard a voice as delicate as a mosquito’s: “Ah Yun, how is it?”

Cloud Piercing Arrow immediately responded through a voice transmission: “Not the slightest exaggeration! It’s even more unbelievable than the rumors!”

“Are you sure?”

“A thousand percent sure!”

“Good!”

“Including that one who was previously critically injured by the young third’s hidden weapon and lethal poison… the sudden recovery and counterattack with an undiminished state was also unfathomable. However, Dong Xiaoyan didn’t administer any medicine then, of which there is no doubt.”

“Hmm… understood.”

The hidden voice continued through the voice transmission: “So you mean… the big brother’s injury… Hmm?”

“Looking at it now, as long as that divine doctor is willing to make a move, there will definitely be no problem! The big brother’s injury is to his origin. Aside from the depletion of his origin, the physical injury is not as severe as the one I just inflicted on Dong Tiesong with that arrow. And the divine doctor is renowned for treating injuries to the origin…”

“I get it!”

The voice transmission ended, and no more sounds followed.

…

But the lead person in black at the front lines was still waiting, waiting for Dong Tiesong’s complete recovery.

Because this was a miracle they had truly witnessed with their own eyes!

It was not only a miracle eagerly anticipated by the people of Cloud Palace.

It was a miracle they desired even more.
