Chapter 358
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiuchen was filled with rage. His eyes widened in fury, and he roared, "Hmph, don't be so arrogant! We heal the sick and save lives, helping all living beings. What's wrong with that? You dark forces, for your own selfish interests, actually dare to harm the innocent. This is truly intolerable!"
Having said that, Ye Jiuchen took a deep breath, his inner energy rapidly circulating, a faint golden light emanating from his body. He unleashed his ultimate move—the "Soaring Sun-Shattering Sword Technique"—his longsword blazing brightly, its shadow like a dragon emerging from the sea, charging towards the enemy with overwhelming force. In an instant, a gap was torn in the enemy's encirclement.
Taking advantage of the moment, Ye Jiuchen grabbed the healer's arm and used his lightness skill to dash towards the military camp. Along the way, they could hear the footsteps of the enemy chasing them from behind, but Ye Jiuchen skillfully dodged their attacks with his superb martial arts and agility.
Finally, they returned safely to the military camp. Ye Jiuchen knew that although the enemy had been temporarily repelled, they would not give up easily. To ensure the safety of the healers and the new medicine, he realized that he had to immediately strengthen defenses.
Therefore, Ye Jiuchen quickly issued orders to increase manpower and set up multiple layers of tight defenses around the camp, arranging elite soldiers to patrol and guard it day and night. At the same time, he entered the camp with the physicians, working day and night to accelerate the final improvement of the new medicine.
Inside the dimly lit tent, Ye Jiuchen and the physician were completely focused. One meticulously recorded various data, while the other tirelessly prepared medicinal herbs. Their eyes revealed determination and perseverance, and they held only one belief: only by making the new drug public as soon as possible, so that more patients could benefit, could they truly silence the dark forces and allow justice to prevail.
In the tent, filled with the aroma of medicine and a tense atmosphere, Ye Jiuchen and the physicians had endured several long and agonizing days and nights. The flickering candlelight illuminated their bloodshot yet unwavering eyes. Piles of paper covered in dense data lay scattered on the ground, along with various medicine bottles and herbs, bearing witness to their arduous and relentless efforts. Each adjustment to the new drug formula carried their fervent hope for saving the world; each attempt after a failure embodied their unwavering determination to never give up. Finally, as yet another dawn broke, the new drug was successfully improved.
Exhausted yet excited, Ye Jiuchen and the healer stepped out of the tent. The warm sunlight shone down on them without reservation, like a beacon of hope bestowed by heaven. The sunlight gently caressed their weary faces, gilding them with a golden outline and dispelling the gloom that had lingered in their hearts for many days.
News of the successful improvement of the new drug spread like wildfire throughout the surrounding areas. Those who had long suffered from illness and struggled in despair grasped at this exhilarating news as if it were a lifeline. They rushed from all directions; some, dragging their frail bodies, trudged along with the support of their families; others, traveling in simple horse-drawn carriages, endured the bumpy, dusty journey. In everyone's eyes shone a longing for health and an anticipation of the new drug.
However, there are always some dark forces in this world that try to obstruct the path of justice and hope. When these dark forces learned of the new drug's success, their greed and fear were completely ignited. In order to maintain their dirty profit chain, they even went so far as to bribe a group of street thugs to sabotage the distribution of the new drug and tarnish its reputation.
Just as Ye Jiuchen and the doctors were filled with enthusiasm, preparing to distribute the new drug, carrying countless hopes, to the eagerly awaiting people, an unexpected incident occurred. A group of vicious thugs, like a pack of rabid dogs, charged into the crowd without warning. Shouting things like "Fake medicine! This is a scam!", they lunged at the area where drug samples were displayed, attempting to snatch them and create chaos.
The people were terrified by this sudden turn of events, and chaos erupted instantly. Screams and shouts mingled together. Ye Jiuchen witnessed this chaotic scene, his eyes turning icy cold, like a sharp blade in the night. He knew that dark forces were manipulating these people, and his anger burned within him. However, he suppressed his rage, silently contemplating: this time, he must not harm anyone rashly; he only needs to subdue these troublemakers and prevent them from continuing their evil deeds.
With a thought, Ye Jiuchen's aura suddenly changed, and his internal energy rapidly circulated. He moved like a ghost, weaving freely through the crowd. In the blink of an eye, he was behind the ringleader. He extended his large, iron-like hand and precisely and powerfully seized the leader's shoulder. A "crack" was heard, and the man's shoulder instantly dislocated. He turned deathly pale with pain, cold sweat pouring down his face, and a pig-like scream echoed around him.
However, the thugs did not back down after their leader was captured. Blinded by money and having lost their minds, they struggled relentlessly, trying to continue creating chaos.
Just as the situation was becoming increasingly difficult to control, the doctor, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, calmly stepped forward. His gaze was firm, his expression serious, and he held aloft a thick stack of documents—data, experimental reports, and test results from the new drug development process. He took a deep breath and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, please be quiet! Please hear me out!" His voice, though calm, was incredibly penetrating, clearly reaching everyone's ears in the noisy environment. Hearing his voice, the crowd gradually quieted down, focusing their attention on him.
The doctor glanced around, his gaze sweeping over the troublemakers, and slowly began to speak: "The development of this new drug has been the result of countless arduous days and nights. We traversed mountains and valleys to collect rare medicinal herbs; we conducted repeated experiments in the laboratory, experiencing countless failures, but never giving up. Every step underwent rigorous testing and verification." As he spoke, the doctor presented evidence one by one, detailing the entire process of the new drug, from its initial conception to repeated formula adjustments and finally to clinical trials. Every detail was imbued with the dedication and effort they had poured into saving lives.
As the troublemakers listened to the doctor's account, their previously arrogant demeanor gradually became uneasy. They exchanged glances, a hint of panic and guilt in their eyes. Faced with the doctor's irrefutable evidence, their lies seemed utterly pale and powerless.
