Peerless Dad - Chapter 228

Are there really that few murim masters on their side? Murim was built up to be full of characters who could kill bandits with Qi ezpz, while this war seems to show that there are only a few masters, most of the murim fighters aren’t that much stronger than usual bandits? I get that war makes for a cool scene, but please show a bit more Qi moves and explosions, this is supposed to be a world of martial arts with masters who can kill 10s of normal fighters with each swing or move. The masters should be able to kill 100s of normal martial artists on their own, but they seem to be struggling with normal soldiers for some reason?
