Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 616 Snake Gu
'This demonic Gu has such tenacious vitality?!'

Qin Huai felt a sharp pain in his jaw, and the golden cicada, as small as a star, revealed its ferocious power. In an instant, it had already bitten through the protective Kunlun armor and ether dragon scales, tore at the amber flesh, and drunk the scalding hot blood of Tianruiyuan.

What was no different from poison to others was like fine wine to these three strange Gu worms. In the blink of an eye, their bellies swelled up, turning red like a copper cauldron filled with burning charcoal.

Qin Huai's neck wound was covered with grayish-brown rust, as if an abyss was devouring the burgeoning life force within him, desperately suppressing the granulation tissue and fascia that wanted to heal and repair itself.

"What a beast!"

Qin Huai exhaled and spoke, his tongue crackling with thunderous sound. The True Qi energy surrounding his body suddenly changed, radiating a ferocious and malevolent aura. The Golden Cicada Gu, which had been so unrestrained just moments before, immediately fell silent, as if it had encountered a superior natural enemy. It obediently let itself be gripped by the ferocious dragon claws, stammering and not daring to resist.

【Arrogant and Ruthless】(One of the enhanced effects after incorporating twenty-seven secrets of Yama, including extreme evil, nine deaths, and ten thousand poisons): Grants the holder a 27000% damage amplification effect, which is doubled when targeting all living beings. It can also use extreme evil and ferocity to exert targeted pressure on extraordinary and even mythical creatures, but it is useless when encountering those of higher rank.

"what?!"

Seeing that Qin Huai had easily dealt with the three Great Wilderness Gu, Er Fu, who was lingering outside the five-colored dazzling light, couldn't stand it any longer. He immediately took out a dirty leather bag from his pocket and splashed it directly onto the five-colored boulder where Qin Huai was.

bang~
Suddenly, he rushed into the fiercely colliding gravity field. The leather bag shattered instantly, and a large amount of extremely foul-smelling blood was thrown out, flowing along the Qi shield around Qin Huai and dripping onto the Heaven-Turning Divine Seal. The layered dazzling light disappeared instantly, and Qin Huai felt lighter. However, before he could catch his breath, four dark blue snake shadows suddenly expanded and grew larger in front of Er Fu, who was waving his wooden staff and chanting incantations. They silently flew up and down, like four long, dark blue clouds of smoke, sweeping from afar to near.

【Filthy Spirit Blood】: Erfu is made by mixing the essence blood and venom of thousands of demon snakes from the Great Wilderness Mountains and Seas. It can taint the spirituality of magical objects and artifacts. Even when facing the Nuwa Divine Artifact, it can temporarily seal off some of its power.

【Green Wood Serpent】: Erfu used a dying demon serpent and mixed it with the essence of green wood to refine it. Its body has been transformed into a green wood demon body. Although it is not a living thing, it has a strong vitality. Even if it is destroyed, it can rely on the vitality of the demon body to devour the primordial energy of heaven and earth to reorganize its body. Its recovery ability is no less than that of the Seven Palaces Original Dharma Body, and it is even more difficult to defeat and erase than some stubborn insects.

Note: After the fall of the ancient Serpent Kingdom, its people were scattered to the ends of the earth. The four green serpents used by Erfu were descendants of the serpent clan's divine beast, the Heavenly Nether Python. They all had two thousand years of cultivation in life. After their deaths, Erfu buried them in the eye of the North Sea, using water to grow wood and refining them for many years. Once awakened, if they cannot be killed in one blow, their difficulty in dealing with them is no less than that of a peak Seven Palaces cultivator.

"Fancy!"

With the pressure on his body suddenly relieved, Qin Huai finally freed his hand. With a flick of his sleeve, a dark, radiant light burst forth, a full five meters long. The Blood-Patterned Sinful Blade struck the head of the foremost green snake, sending splinters and dust flying everywhere.

so hard!

Feeling the stiffness in his hand from the spear, Qin Huai's heart tightened. He unleashed tremendous strength, slamming the spear horizontally and sweeping away the remaining three Wood Green Serpents.

After just a brief exchange, Qin Huai had already assessed the strength of these wooden snake puppets. It's no exaggeration to say that although these four wooden green snakes were crafted by Er Fu, the combat power of any one of them was probably enough to rival Er Fu himself.

Its body alone, as hard as the mixed gold and ice iron of the North Sea, is enough to withstand most divine weapons. If it weren't for Qin Huai's Taotie power, which could greatly weaken its defense, it would be quite troublesome to face these four snakes.

Whoosh!
Seeing that the Green Serpent had returned empty-handed, Erfu didn't care at all. He simply raised his wooden staff and several black needles, as fast as lightning, shot towards Qin Huai in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, the severed snake, whose head and neck had just been pierced by Qin Huai's spear, was rapidly absorbing the five elements of wood in the air, reforming its snake body.

Because the Wood Green Serpent was a snake puppet, the healing-preventing properties of the Taotie power were greatly reduced. In just a few seconds, the remaining serpent regained its full strength and, together with the other three serpents, subtly trapped Qin Huai within the serpent enclosure.

clang~
The Seven Deadly Sins Spear struck the black needle precisely, but failed to knock it away as intended. Instead, the fine black needle shattered as if it were fragile crystal, releasing a large amount of hazy, colorful mist that was both sweet and fragrant, and chillingly cold.

The misty, colorful fog collided with the oval-shaped Qi shield protecting Qin Huai, and the flowing, undulating Qi energy suddenly seemed to freeze over, its flow becoming extremely slow.

Just then, the surrounding green snakes suddenly leaped up, swallowing heads, biting necks, coiling arms, and binding legs, fearlessly strangling and attacking the courageous and fierce Qin Huai.

Qin Huai raised an eyebrow and hurriedly held his breath and contracted his pores, but it was too late. A sudden surge of cold air, like a snowstorm, invaded from the wound on his neck and then spread to the surface of his body. His whole body instantly stiffened and turned blue, as if frozen in ice and snow. When the scalding hot Tianrui Yuan blood in his body hit him, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"What a powerful poison!"

Qin Huai's face turned deathly pale in an instant, his teeth chattered wildly, and his layered dragon scales seemed to be covered with a layer of light blue frost.

"Down! Down! Down!"

Seeing Qin Huai's strange expression, Er Fu laughed heartily and said smugly, "This desolate wilderness is indeed quite barren, but with patience, one can find the strange insect that killed the Five Emperors. Kid, the taste of my honey gu poison isn't pleasant, is it?"

Upon hearing Erfu mention the honey poison, Qin Huai's heart stirred. He suddenly remembered a very strange poison in Chu Ning's memory, whose effects were similar to his current predicament.

Legend has it that in the desolate polar regions north of the Kunlun Mountains, there often appeared enormous wasps resembling birds and giant, crimson-red ant-moths. Both of these creatures loved to feed on the nectar of the snow lotus and frequently fought each other. When the local barbarians harvested the snow lotus, they would often kill the giant wasps and moths along with the snow lotus and bring them home to replace the rare firewood for warmth. However, those barbarians who ate food coated with snow lotus nectar and inhaled the smoke from the burning wasps and moths often became paralyzed with cold, unable to move for an entire day. The stronger the person, the more severe the symptoms; some even died as a result.

Later, after thorough investigation, the eight elders discovered that while neither the snow lotus nor the giant bee were inherently poisonous, when combined, they produced an extremely potent toxin that froze a person's meridians and blood like an icy river. The only way to neutralize the toxin was to boil the roots and stems of the snow lotus together with snowmelt and drink the resulting liquid.

The local shamans were amazed by its magical properties and created a unique anesthetic from it. Whenever a member of their tribe was wounded by a poisoned arrow from an enemy, they would use a small amount of the "Crimson Moth Giant Honey" to paralyze the body and scrape the bone to remove the poison.

However, as time went by, the giant red moth bee and the snow lotus of Tianshan became increasingly rare and had not appeared in public for a long time. Unexpectedly, this snake-descended elder had such good fortune and possessed such a rare poison.

The situation changed rapidly and in an instant. In a flash, the four Wood Green Serpents had shattered the crystal-hard Qi shield. The binding force of millions of pounds was applied to the Ether Dragon's body. Although the frozen Martial Buddha Tendon temporarily held it up, Qin Huai knew that this was by no means a long-term solution.

"go with!"

With a deafening roar, the extremely vicious and ferocious Taotie charged towards Erfu, tearing the withered vine box in his hand away with a single claw. The countless ancient Gu eggs spilled onto the ground like mercury, freezing to death in the wind and snow before they could be catalyzed into insects.

At the same time, Qin Huai's body erupted in dazzling flames, and molten power surged from his powerful heart to his limbs and bones, melting away the chilling deathly aura that had seeped into his body like a bone-deep wound. The frost-covered, crystalline dragon scales were replaced by a thicker metallic luster, like molten bronze, inexplicably hard. "Open!"

Qin Huai slumped his shoulders and braced his arms, tightly gripping the green snake that wrapped around him. Every wisp of blazing rainbow fire expanded with his movements, and every claw seemed to be supported by a hundred tons of power, exerting force on both ends of the green snake, desperately tearing and pulling it apart.

Boom~
With a crisp sound, like jade beads falling onto a plate or crystal strings snapping, Qin Huai tossed aside the wooden green snake, which was broken in two but still struggling and writhing. With a flick of his toe, the Seven Sins Spear fell into his hand, its blade stained with blood and glowing with black light. He then charged toward the snake elder who was being chased up and down by the ferocious Taotie.

Seeing that Qin Huai's power was so terrifying, comparable to that of a ghost or god, Er Fu let out a strange cry and swung his wooden staff violently. The air was instantly filled with a gray-green poisonous curtain, which rolled and boiled, causing sharp pain.

The poisonous curtain was fierce, but it still couldn't stop the large gun that suddenly closed the distance. In Er Fu's eyes, Qin Huai's body suddenly became incomparably tall, and the bursts of gun light were like chaotic mountain peaks crashing down on him.

Erfu's figure was swallowed up by the huge, irregularly arranged shadows.

The poisonous insect eggs scattered on the ground were suddenly lifted up by an invisible current, as if they were a hidden undercurrent unknown to anyone, and converged towards the five-colored boulder.

The next moment, a burst of azure light shot out, avoiding the main force and tearing through the spear light. Er Fu appeared in front of Qin Huai, dragging a snake-like body covered in blood holes. In his hand, which was glowing with azure light, was only a snake-shaped dagger less than two feet long.

【Blue Kiss】：
Category: Weapons

Quality: Rare (Exotic!)

Sharpness: ? ? ?

The features are as follows:
【Snake Kiss】: Forged from the fangs of the Crimson Scroll Divine Serpent, it will always draw blood and break through defenses whenever it is drawn.

【Green Viper】: As long as the skin is broken, a potent poison can be injected in an instant, making it an excellent tool for witchcraft.

Note: The wonders of the wilderness, the treasures of mountains and seas.

The snake dagger changed hands and hands, wielding it horizontally and vertically, cutting at an angle, and even pressing it against his elbow. For a moment, he managed to carve out a small margin from Qin Huai's spear by relying on the danger of close combat, and was defeated in no time.

puff~
Qin Huai withdrew his spear, his Qi surging forth, creating a ten-meter-wide spear circle that swept towards the Wood Green Serpent that pounced from behind. The four serpents were suddenly struck, their bodies trembling, and muscles and bones scattered in all directions, as if they had exploded into hundreds of green wooden dragons, which were nailed into the hard ice rock, making it difficult for them to reassemble and repair their bodies.

However, the azure wood demon body was full of vitality. Even though Qin Huai had used [Evil Deeds Are Easy to Commit], he could not kill it easily. Therefore, each of these hundreds of azure wood dragons still contained a great deal of life force. In the blink of an eye, they all became intelligent and formed a swarm of snakes, surging towards Qin Huai again.

"burst!"

With a soft shout from Qin Huai, the True Qi energy emanating from the hundreds of green snakes suddenly ignited, and the enormous snake swarm was quickly enveloped by the colorful rainbow flames, burning into a huge fireball. The life force of the Wood Green Demon Body was like fuel being added to the raging fire, making the rainbow flames burn even more intensely.

The Azure Wood Serpent was scorched by the rainbow fire, causing it endless pain, but it could only wail helplessly and was unable to recombine, thus completely losing its threat.

Seeing that Qin Huai still dared to be distracted, Er Fu snorted coldly, used his wooden staff in his left hand to parry the Seven Sins Spear that was spinning around, and used his snake dagger in his right hand to generate frost poisonous thorns, which went straight for Qin Huai's heart!
Ding!
After the clanging of metal against metal, came the dull thud of a short dagger piercing flesh. Qin Huai glanced at the [Engraved Auspicious Tiger Dagger] with its crack, his muscles bulged, his expression tightened, and he firmly wedged the snake dagger into his forearm. Er Fu suddenly sensed something was wrong and realized that Qin Huai had somehow withdrawn his right hand, forming a spear with a single finger, and thrusting it upwards towards his vital chest.

The spear that his wooden staff was supporting was now being tightly gripped by a phantom hand of Qi energy, showing absolutely no killing intent!
"broken."

Qin Huai's outstretched gun finger struck, and Er Fu's vision went black as his chest exploded. However, there was no bloody scene of flesh and bone splattering everywhere; instead, there were only millions of strange, multicolored, and highly poisonous Gu worms.

"Huh? When?"

Seeing that Erfu had used Gu to impersonate him and narrowly escaped his fatal attack, a dark glint flashed in Qin Huai's eyes, a fleeting glance revealing his astonishment.

【Invincible Body】: One of the supernatural abilities Erfu comprehended based on his own Tongtian Gu Technique. He can use Gu worms to take the place of others, block damage, and teleport to create distance.

Note: As long as the Gu worms persist, the soul will never perish.

Just then, the hundreds of Gu worms that had gathered at the five-colored boulder condensed into a body. Erfu, still shaken, dared not delay any longer. He slammed his hand down heavily, striking the Heaven-Turning Divine Seal and sweeping away all the foul spirit blood. In its place, there were countless strands of pure snake blood!

Boom boom boom! ! !
With a series of loud explosions, the Heaven-Turning Divine Seal trembled violently, radiating colorful light, and dragged Erfu upwards with lightning speed.

The dark clouds in the sky completely dispersed, and rays of sunlight shone straight down. The rock top cracked, ice and stones danced wildly, and clouds and mist rolled in.

Qin Huai's expression was solemn. It seemed as if countless ice stones were shooting into the sky from the mountainside beneath his feet, crashing into the inner wall and causing a series of violent tremors. Then, a rumbling sound was heard, as if a torrent of water was surging and rolling in.

"Don't run away, old thief!"

Qin Huai roared, leaping high into the air like an arrow, hurtling towards the five-colored boulders flying everywhere in the air.

Suddenly, the earth shook violently, and the rocky peaks of Mishan Mountain burst open, exploding and shooting out. The Heaven-Turning Seal spun rapidly, soaring into the sky and dancing angrily, reaching the heavens and touching the clouds.

Erfu, clinging desperately to the edge, quickly withered and shrank, as if the Heaven-Turning Seal had drained his blood and essence. But there was no other way but to grit his teeth and endure it, placing his hopes on the prophecy left by the great god Fuxi.

The sun shone brightly, the wind howled, a deafening roar echoed from the mountaintop, ice shards flew everywhere, and a surge of emerald green water erupted and sprayed out, followed by a second and a third.
Suddenly, the summit of Mishan Mountain exploded, sending rocks flying everywhere. A huge column of water shot straight up into the blue sky, spraying out like flowers hundreds of feet high, turning into a torrential downpour that sprinkled the cold, desolate land for dozens of miles around.

Within this curtain of rain, a blazing line of fire was already approaching the chaotically moving Heaven-Turning Stone Seal!
