Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 598 Success
Bang! ! !
The powerful golden spear shaft struck the [Engraved Auspicious Tiger Armor], causing the beast-devouring arm armor to dent violently. Accompanied by the crisp sound of the radius bone cracking, Qin Huai felt dizzy and crashed directly into the guardrail formed by the beast skull chains, blood seeping from his ears, nose, and seven orifices.

The Seven Deadly Sins spear got stuck and slipped from his hand. Qin Huai bit his tongue, forcibly waking up from his concussion. With a thought, the Seven Deadly Sins, which were stuck in the withered wooden helmet, began to change shape, trying to break free of their restraints as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wu seemed to sense something. The originally tough and withered wood suddenly became as entangled as a green vine, tightly binding the Seven Deadly Sins and completely suppressing the True Martial Dharma Image within it, preventing it from gathering and dispersing.

"Pfft~"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood foam, Qin Huai abandoned the struggle, drew the Divine Might Fierce Water Spear from the imprint space, and used the spear to perform the staff move. The spear swept across the full arc, like a green dragon swinging its tail, and collided with the withered green vine that had grown and swelled several times its size, looking like a swollen wooden tumor.

With a casual flick of his divine might and fierce water spear, the incredibly tough wooden armor melted away instantly, like snow meeting fire. The Seven Deadly Sins, no longer hindered, returned to Qin Huai's hands.

swoosh~
Taking advantage of Qin Huai's moment of switching spears, Lu Wu swung his spear forward, the dazzling golden blade leaving an extremely long afterimage in mid-air. The cloud-tail-shaped spear tassel resembled a raging dragon's mane, and the short sword-like spear blade, in the instant it swung out this spear flower, created layers upon layers of afterimages, intertwined inside and out, truly like a thousand-petaled lotus flower growing out of thin air.

The Yang family's pear blossom spear, a thousand lotus blossoms in full bloom!

The fierce and sharp energy of Gengxin burst forth from the tip of the Golden Spear like thousands of petals suddenly blooming and fluttering, forming a torrential downpour of energy that pierced the air at supersonic speed and reached Qin Huai.

Each blade of spear light, amplified by this extreme speed, could shatter a mountain cliff into dust.

Bang bang bang! ! ! !

The Seven Deadly Sins Spear moved with lightning speed in Qin Huai's hands, unleashing a massive force that created a raging torrent of energy. Fierce and unrestrained rainbow flames burned on it, catching all the spear shadows and energy that came towards him and burning them into nothingness.

The molten gold and lingering flames were extremely beautiful, but Qin Huai did not pay much attention to these flashy but impractical spear shadows and energy. Instead, his eyes flashed, piercing through the dazzling rainbow flames, and he stared intently at Lu Wu's every move.

Through the black and white vision of the divine traveler, Qin Huai seemed to see nine cloud tails, some curling and some unfurling, each radiating a different color of light within Lu Wu's head, releasing an intense and boundless divine power that provided a vigorous and endless superposition to every move Lu Wu made.

【Lu Wu's Tail - Dao Ling】!
"found it!"

Before he finished speaking, the dazzling light from the rain and fire flashed by, and his entire figure, along with the Seven Deadly Sins spearhead that was thrusting forward, seemed to ride a dragon, soaring close to the ground, leaving an extremely narrow trail on the mottled stone platform.

Dang~
The crisp sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out. Qin Huai's strength changed, and the Blood-Patterned Sinful Edge flicked and slid, dodging the metal spear shaft, shattering the surging withered wood and green vines, and slashing horizontally towards Lu Wu's vulnerable neck.

However, Lu Wu lightly touched the ground with his toes, and a cloud suddenly rose, allowing him to dodge several inches before the Sinful Blade could reach him. The great spear in his hand suddenly sank down, slamming heavily onto the Seven Sins Great Spear, dispersing the force. The blood-patterned Sinful Blade immediately deviated, drawing a dangerous and full crescent moon, ultimately only erasing half of his shoulder lock.

"What a trick!"

Despite the power of the four seasons clashing against the eighth-level instant, Lu Wu's actual attack speed was not much faster than Qin Huai's. It was only because his movements were swift and decisive, and the torque he chose for his wrist and finger movements and arm swings to smash the spear was much shorter than Qin Huai's. With no significant difference in speed, the shorter the path, the less time was required to complete the attack, which is why he barely managed to neutralize the killing move.

Seeing Lu Wu's exquisite block, Qin Huai's heart skipped a beat, but he did not retreat to distance himself and advance slowly. Instead, he released the force of the attack and a cold white light burst out from his hand. The silver dragon blade of the Divine Might Fierce Water Spear pierced through Lu Wu's neck, and blood, flesh and bone fragments flew everywhere.

But in the next instant, a trickle of nano-cells surged from Lu Wu's body, filling the horrifying wound below his throat. Perhaps because Wu Erda would erase the "real" essence, Lu Wu, whose injuries had now "healed," looked a whole size smaller than before. He stretched out his long arms, his eyes filled with coldness, and used his arms like ropes, suddenly straightening them. He pulled back and then thrust the Golden Spear forward, taking advantage of Qin Huai's exhaustion, and in an instant, he actually retaliated with a blow!
With a crisp sound of shattering glass, Qin Huai felt a pain in his throat. His God-Slaying Power was completely exhausted. Although he managed to use the Divine Might Water Spear to push away Jin Feng, who was trying to advance again, he could no longer maintain the high energy output of the Great Wilderness Killing Field. The boundless void shattered in the blink of an eye, and the beast skull chains faded and disappeared. The two of them suddenly reappeared in the outer layer of Earth's atmosphere.

After swallowing the Dragon Ginseng Honey Slice, which restored a large amount of energy and stamina, Qin Huai pulled back the Seven Sins Spear with one hand, and the deadly Blood-Patterned Sin Edge instantly enveloped Lu Wu's body.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Wu wielded his Golden Spear and Litu Shield with unparalleled skill, and violently powerful lightning arcs materialized out of thin air, enveloping Qin Huai, who had revealed a slight opening due to his preemptive attack.

That wasn't all. Suddenly, nine magnificent cloud tails shot up from behind Lu Wu, striking, slapping, binding, and pounding him with unstoppable force. Even when Qin Huai mobilized the Three-Colored Azure Waves, Heavenly Gold, and Returning to True Qi, he was no match for them. They were all shattered by pure force. Only killing moves like Tiger Hunt, Dragon Hidden, and Unparalleled Strike, which condensed the martial intent of breaking limits, could break through the protection of the wooden armor and water-clothes and cause some damage.

Moreover, an inexplicable combat intuition kept reminding Qin Huai that he must not rashly use the Celestial Aura in the Niwan Palace.

Fortunately, Lu Wu's long weapon skills were only mediocre, far inferior to Qin Huai's years of hard-earned Six Harmonies Spear. Even with the assistance of the Four Seasons and Five Elements, he was mostly on the defensive and rarely on the offensive. Otherwise, after a few more rounds, Qin Huai would have been forced to summon his elemental species to gang up on him.

thump~
As the dull thud of the spear piercing the wood rang out, Qin Huai's heart skipped a beat. He watched helplessly as the Seven Deadly Sins Spear was once again bound by the withered wood and green vines that seemed to cling to his bones, and his advance was once again mired in a quagmire.

Seeing the opportunity, Lu Wu charged straight in with his golden spear, aiming for Qin Huai's head!
Roar!
Qin Huai roared, and taking advantage of the moment when the Frost Wave of Power immobilized Lu Wu, he crouched down and darted into Lu Wu's close encirclement. Before Lu Wu could raise his arm and swing the spear again, Qin Huai's spear tip shot out like lightning, aiming straight at Lu Wu's brow and temple.

The universe is in disarray, blood hunts against life, and there is no second strike!
The helmet formed by the clear stream was smashed into floating water with a single blow. The gun point pierced through the skull made of nano-cells without any hindrance and flipped it open. Qin Huai suddenly opened his five fingers and tightly gripped the nine cloud tails that were trying to struggle and escape.

The feel of the inherited part [Lu Wu's Tail - Dao Ling] is actually not much different from the tails of most feline creatures, if you don't consider that it is constantly struggling. It is fluffy and very comfortable.

Qin Huai held the [Lu Wu's Tail - Dao Spirit] in his hand. The arrogant and conceited Lu Wu seemed to have admitted defeat, and no longer made a sound. Only the powerful force that was constantly pushing outwards still proved its existence.

[Inheritance: The Tail of Lu Wu - Dao Ling]

"Four hundred li to the southwest lies Kunlun Hill, which is indeed the capital of the Emperor, overseen by the god Lu Wu. This god has the body of a tiger with nine tails, a human face, and tiger claws; this god oversees the nine departments of the heavens and the Emperor's garden."

—Classic of Mountains and Seas, Western Mountains Classic

Lu Wu's Tail Recovery Level: 9%/100% (Inheritance and walking are closely related. Increasing the recovery level will improve walking lifespan and physical fitness. Fully recovering inheritance will double lifespan).

The owner gains a permanent, fixed state: Dao Spirit
【Dao Ling】: Grants the holder the innate supernatural power to regulate the four seasons and manipulate the five elements. The base strength of any single ability is equivalent to 【Yanfu Inheritance: Five Virtues Star Lord】 or 【Yanfu Inheritance: Four Seasons Lord】, and can be combined with higher quality creation abilities in certain fruits.

【Kunlun Hill】: Teleports both allies and enemies to 【Sumeru Illusion: Kunlun Hill】. The holder can freely create an environment favorable to their own performance in Kunlun Hill and use the power of heaven and earth, such as weak water, melting fire, abyssal wind, and quicksand, to overwhelm the enemy.

Note: This is an amazing move!

Qin Huai exerted force in his hand, and the ball of fur formed by the cloud tail burst open, revealing nine exquisitely detailed Lu Wu cloud tails that crashed into the Niwan point between his eyebrows.

"Come!"

In the vast sea, on Kunlun Rock, the celestial being Lu Wu, who had kept his eyes closed, opened his golden eyes and looked at the Lu Wu tail that had leaped in. With a shout, Tian Wu, Taotie, and Kaiming Beast, the three tigers, all rushed forward. The nineteen heads and twenty-eight tails were instantly entangled together, indistinguishable from one another.

After an unknown amount of time, Taotie, the most unruly and stubborn of the five tigers, with its head swollen like a pig's head, pressed down hard on the Kaiming Beast, which was groaning in agony. Even Tianwu, who was usually unapproachable, disregarded his image and climbed onto Taotie's back to help Qin Huai wear down the remaining consciousness in the inherited parts.

Previously, when Qin Huai was researching materials at the Jambudvipa, he had seen cases where the Seven Palaces' proxy practitioners, while cultivating their own Dharma, were unable to completely eliminate the overly powerful consciousness of the Six Dharma Bodies, resulting in the inheritance being reversed and the proxy taking over the body.

Unexpectedly, the journey of the Great Perfection's inheritance was so perilous at the very beginning of its revival, with the constant risk of the inheritance taking over the physical body and causing the practitioner to go into a state of demonic possession.

"Alright, it's over." Finally, the three incredibly solid cloud tails bound Tianwu, Taotie, and Kaiming Beast, and gently tossed them aside.

"The issue of inheriting the consciousness should have been resolved, but what to do now? My original form, my celestial aura, and my inherited form seem to be completely welded together, making them indistinguishable."

Qin Huai looked inward at himself, at Lu Wu Xiang in the Niwan Palace who was completely integrated with Lu Wu Shen, and felt somewhat conflicted and helpless.

"Forget it, let's just make the best of a bad situation. At worst, we can go back and have the old man and Master Huozhen take a look. If neither of them can do anything about it, then I can't help either."

Qin Huai felt that he was in a better state than ever before, as if he had found his long-lost other half again, and a series of Yanfu prompts came to his ears at the right time.

"My Lord, you have fulfilled part of the conditions for the Path to Truth, collecting the inheritances of [Lu Wu], [Taowu], [Tian Wu], [Kaiming Beast], and [Ma Fu]. You have gained the attention of Yama and have been granted an opportunity to question the will of Yama!!!!

[Enlightened Beast]: 3/5 (Not yet acted upon)

[Horse Belly]: 5/6 (not represented)

The second phase requires the completion of the first phase to be visible.

"Finally, the framework is up and running."

Qin Huai exhaled softly, without any lingering attachment, and left [Flowing Dream] directly, returning to Yanfu and reappearing in his personal space.

On the white sand beach, listening to the babbling turquoise waves, Qin Huai lay lazily on a beach chair. Looking at his remaining free awakening points, without any hesitation, he directly used 283% of his awakening points to completely revive the Lu Wu legacy.

"Your awakening level for [Yanfu Legacy: Tail of Luwu - Dao Spirit] has increased by 283%"

"You have chosen to spend an additional 35% of your Awakening Points to break through Lu Wu's first peak. The success rate of this breakthrough is 100%."
