Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 592 Capture
Yanfu, the mother's crown.

"Master Huozhen, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting so long."

In the medical room reserved for deities, Qin Huai (the original body) and Wuwei Sanzang stood in front of the sickbed, looking at the Dragon-Subduing Arhat whose face was as pale as paper, their words filled with apology.

“Benefactor Qin, you flatter me. I only spent a few more days with Jianglong in the capital, which is no different from here. Moreover, I also had discussions with many great masters during that time, so my time was not wasted. Please do not be too hard on yourself.”

Wuwei Sanzang shook his head, took out a bamboo leaf from his sleeve, and handed it to Qin Huai: "This is the final payment for the salvage operation. Please keep it safe, Benefactor Qin."

Bitter bamboo leaves

Category: Foreign object

Quality: Legend

Soaking bamboo in rootless water for three days yields half a liter of bamboo dew. Taking it internally will purify the six senses and eliminate greed, anger, and ignorance; applying it externally can seal off an enemy's six senses, making the person who comes into contact with it temporarily unable to perceive the outside world.

Note: A single leaf can reflect the verdant green of a thousand stalks, and its shadow can encompass the clouds of the highest heavens.

"Then, Master Huozhen, I won't disturb you any longer."

After putting away the bitter bamboo leaves, Qin Huai didn't linger. He turned and walked out of the Yan Zhaohui Building, where he ran into Taotie, who was covered in blood.

"Is everything resolved?"

"Well, apart from a few old geezers in Florence that I haven't had time to kill yet, I've wiped out everyone in the Tang Dynasty who had connections with Fatty An and were plotting a rebellion. You can rest assured."

After saying that, Taotie stretched and transformed into a stream of light, returning to the Niwan Palace in Qinhuai. It lay lazily in the Canglan Sea, staring at Tianwu, who preferred quiet and didn't like to move.

The next instant, Qin Huai vanished and reappeared on the outer wall of the [Flowing Dream] fruit.

"come back."

Following the clues of his soul, Qin Huai located the enlightened clone who had used [Divine Travel] to dodge the lightning ball's damage. Without hesitation, he retrieved the clone and rushed back into the Fruit Wall System, appearing out of thin air amidst the heavy encirclement.

Almost the instant Qin Huai appeared, the eight thousand Owl drones hovering in the air opened fire. Under the lock of millisecond-level fire control radar, tens of thousands of tracking missiles surged out, completely filling the gaps around him.

The missiles streaked through the air in countless fiery arcs, clustering together and forming a giant hedgehog centered on Qin Huai in the blink of an eye.

Just as tens of thousands of missiles approached rapidly like raging pythons and dragons, the humidity in the world suddenly rose, as if a typhoon had suddenly struck. Qin Huai's figure was obscured by the misty fog, becoming hazy and illusory, and a huge vortex appeared behind him, spinning rapidly.

"The Yu Yuan Water Technique breaks through the vast ocean!"

Just as the moisture in the world was about to become so concentrated that it would condense into rain, Qin Huai suddenly clenched his left hand and waved his five fingers together. The power of Tianwu surged forth, and a huge water dragon formed from the blue and green waves raised its head and swung its tail, smashing tens of thousands of missiles from every angle and turning them into a huge cloud of fireworks.

Countless laser beams crashed into the rainbow mist, were absorbed and scattered, losing eighty percent of their full power. The Azure Water Dragon rampaged uncontrollably, swatting thousands of drones like mosquitoes, and rushed straight toward the Twenty Heavens.

"Men, come out and cause a ruckus!"

The enormous vortex behind Qin Huai suddenly opened, and the Taoist soldiers who had been on high alert in Chaoyang Valley fought out in formation, using their flesh and blood to fight against the machines.

Blood Marrow Claw Dragon, Mighty Rock Silver Cod, Moon-Eating Ray Mother—all sorts of bizarre and fantastical creatures, led by the Sea-Swallowing Whale and the Sea-Burning Dragon, two of the Seven Palaces Demon Kings, surged forward, fearlessly seeking out the Twenty Heavens. Although many species were blasted into charred corpses by thunder cannons and cut into pieces by shock blades after advancing only a few meters, they miraculously revived when splashed with the Qi Spring of Morning Sun, accomplishing the feat of ants biting down an elephant.

bang bang bang~
The deafening roar of mechanical creations shattering echoed repeatedly as one valuable combat cybernetic body after another was torn to pieces by the Species Soldiers.

Whether it's the Twenty Devas manifesting divine power or the company's well-equipped and sophisticated military forces, just like the overwhelming swarm of drones before, as long as they show malice in Qin Huai's [Fleeting Glance] field of vision, they will immediately shatter into pieces and explode into clusters of fireworks.

Boom!

Qin Huai thrust his spear forward, the deep black blade piercing and shattering the heads of Li Luote and Rajnath. The headless corpses, no longer controlled by brain-computer interfaces, immediately fell, smashing the tall crowns of ancient trees in the dense forest, and exploding into surging flames.

Black and red fiery clouds scattered, accompanied by gleaming silver fragments.

After confirming that the company's armed forces in Xinma Port had been routed by the fierce attack of the Water Fiends and could no longer cause any trouble, Qin Huai gathered his scattered thoughts and focused all his attention on Tiger Two, who had been silently observing without making any moves since the beginning.

Suddenly, Qin Huai moved, and with him moved the Seven Sins Spear in his hand, which was fused with the True Martial Arts.
Its piercing, sharp aura soared into the sky, even giving the Tiger Two, a weapon of war, a chilling sensation between its brows, as if its spearhead were pressed against it.

No, it’s not an illusion!

With the boost of 256 times the speed of the eighth-order instant, Qin Huai, whose initial speed was already extremely high, almost instantly covered a hundred meters and handed the spear in his hand to Hu Er.

"Eight thousand miles of wind, Xun!"

Although Tiger Two doesn't possess many dazzling extraordinary abilities, it was, after all, meticulously crafted by Luwu Heavy Industry, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it incorporated the pinnacle technology of the [Flowing Dream] Fruit. Naturally, it wouldn't sit idly by and be easily captured by Qin Huai.

The chilling spear tip struck empty air, and Hu Er's figure vanished in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Qin Huai, and the two could even feel each other's burning breath.

【Dijiang-6 Specialized Spinal Prosthetic】: Produced by Luwu Heavy Industry, only one set is currently available. It perfectly matches the prosthetic parameters of 【Tiger Two】. When used with 【Zhulong-6 Specialized Brain-Computer Interface】, it can achieve up to 500 times neural acceleration and slow down the sensory time flow to a minimum of 0.05%. It is a special prosthetic that can only be installed on nano-biochemical humans whose whole body cells have been catalytically cultivated.

Note: The load is far beyond human limits; only a monster can control it!

The neural perception can be accelerated to a speed even faster than an eighth-order instant!
Qin Huai's brilliant golden eyes suddenly shrank to the size of pinholes. With the dynamic vision of the Tailong body, he could see Hu Er's every move. As he raised his leg to knee strike, he withdrew his right hand and gripped the Seven Sins Spear, which then pierced his lower back with a sharp point.

The nano-molecular blade, fast enough to tear the air apart, slashed down fiercely. Tiger Two's eyes flashed with blazing white lightning, and its powerful mechanical body unleashed enormous electrical energy without restraint. Its power was no less than that of the four-phase lightning ball summoned by the combined attack of the twenty heavens earlier.

No, it's the same force!
It absorbed the enormous electrical energy of the four-phase lightning ball and stored it in its body, which is why it was unharmed by the combined attack!
Qin Huai's mind raced, and he raised the level of difficulty he faced with Hu Er to another order of magnitude. "Surrender, Tian Wu!"

With a dull thud as a knee slammed into flesh, Tiger Two finally spoke his first words. The nano-molecular blade landed on Qin Huai's shoulder, frantically slicing through the Kunlun armor that had materialized.

Meanwhile, under the orders of the lower-level commander to dedicate everything to Luwu Heavy Industry, Hu Er unhesitatingly ignited all the electrical energy in his body, transforming it into a blue torrent that enveloped his entire body, turning Qin Huai's right hand, which was thrusting with a gun, into charred remains.

Amidst howling winds and surging, fierce blue torrents, Tiger Two, despite the damage to his energy circulation system and the leakage of coolant from his lower back, spun in mid-air like a steel top.

Qin Huai narrowed his eyes slightly. The Nine Heavens Gale that appeared out of nowhere collided with the Four Seasons Wind, reducing its power. Dragon scales covered the charred black hand. He gripped the Seven Sins Spear tightly with his claws and raised it upright. With his hands moving in a crisscross motion, he slammed it down on Hu Ertianling from above.

A violent flash of electricity illuminated Qin Huai's features, and the magnetic branches that sprouted from the tip of the nano-molecular knife expanded instantly, engulfing him completely before the blade could strike.

A vacuum blade, both tangible and intangible, extended from the nano-molecular knife, slicing across Qin Huai's cheek and scattering specks of rainbow blood. The surging storm forcefully broke through the suppression of the Nine Heavens Gale, firmly binding Qin Huai, who had already become an electric being.

The winds of the four seasons, the wind destroys and the thunder extinguishes!
In the next instant, Qin Huai used his gun as a club, smashing it into the molecular knife that Hu Er had barely raised, breaking it in two. The deep black blade, like a vicious tiger's claw, flashed and pierced the sun, scattering the surging thunderstorm.

At this critical moment, Tiger Two straightened his head and shoulders, using a gentle force to support the Seven Sins Spear. Accompanied by the tearing of bionic muscles and the breaking of alloy bones, the extremely fast blade light rained down like rain, and after hundreds or thousands of sounds, it all struck the same spot on the spear shaft, cutting it in half.

"what?!"

The extremely fine and sharp blade light swept past his ear, and Qin Huai was startled. The fine beads of blood on his body had just seeped out when they were evaporated by the violent arc of electricity in the air. Every move of the two of them was slightly distorted in the faint blue light, as if they had entered a kaleidoscope.

Roar!
Looking at the broken knife in Hu Er's hand, Qin Huai's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the mighty tiger roar suddenly rang out. Taking advantage of the moment when the frost wave froze Hu Er, he put the two broken spears together and threw them into the Kunlun space, letting them slowly heal over time.

Kakakka~
Countless continuous, almost tangible wind blades struck the ice on Tiger Two's body. The power furnace inside Tiger Two's chest cavity burst forth with a large amount of heat energy. In the blink of an eye, the nanocells repaired his injuries and restored the broken sword to its original state.

Rebirth: Dragon's Lair!

Qin Huai's [Thousand Transformations] changed shape, and a detailed, reverse-life thunder dragon appeared at the tip of the blade, biting straight at Hu Er's neck, who was within arm's reach.

The Four Seasons Wind Blade just shattered the ice on his upper body, and Tiger Two thrust his blade toward Qin Huai's heart, a desperate, suicidal attack.

Faced with this deadly move, Qin Huai ignored it and continued to thrust his Tang sword forward, piercing Hu Er's neck like a hot knife through butter.

At the same time, the nano-molecular knife pierced Qin Huai's heart, but before the blue lightning torrent could explode, a powerful glass dragon claw gripped the hilt tightly and pulled it out.

As the blade was pulled out, the crimson azure of [Wild Hunt Blood Hunter] rapidly filled the gaps in his wounds, restoring him to his original state in the blink of an eye.

"With such technology, Luwu Heavy Industry is not to be underestimated."

Reaching out, Qin Huai tightly grasped Hu Er's severed head, completely separating it from the body frame where nano-cells were emerging from the neck, trying to adhere the head back to the body. After thinking for a moment, Zhenbing rose again, freezing the two together. Then, he threw the head into the Kunlun Armor, while storing his personal mark on the body. He didn't rush things or waste resources, easily absorbing the power of Lu Wu within the weapon.

After surveying the surrounding area and confirming that the Daoist soldiers had destroyed and driven back the company's armed forces, Qin Huai flicked his wrist, causing the True Martial Dharma Image to dissipate. His body flashed, and he returned to the valley camp.

"That's it? Those sea creatures flying in the sky?"

Seeing Qin Huai easily annihilate most of Xinma Port's military force within half an hour and return to camp almost unscathed, Yangzi, who was leading the guerrillas on high alert, felt that Ah Hu in front of her was so unfamiliar. Her fragmented words, which could not form complete sentences, were both shocked and concerned.

"Just think of them as some mechanical organisms produced in a laboratory."

Qin Huai smiled, looking at the mountain of prosthetic body remains piled up in the valley, and suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Xinma Port sent a large number of company armed forces to besiege us, so the city's defenses must be weak. Now they have all been wiped out here. I think you can inform Shao Siming as soon as possible to see if you can coordinate with various places to attack Xinma Port in one fell swoop and establish a base for the resistance army."

"Ah, ah, indeed, now is certainly a good time."

Upon hearing Qin Huai's suggestion, Yang Zi seemed to wake from a dream, snapping out of his shock and beginning to carefully consider the feasibility of the proposal.

"Ah Hu, with you here, we will definitely be able to liberate all mankind from the clutches of those false gods and Buddhas!"

"Liberation? Perhaps. But I won't have time to accompany you on your mission from now on; there are some things I need to take care of."

Looking at the hopeful faces of the guerrillas, Qin Huai shook his head and continued, "If you had paid attention just now, you should have noticed that there was a very strong cyborg among the company's armed forces sent from Xinma Port."

"Yes, he looks exactly like you."

Yangzi nodded and guessed, "Did Luwu Heavy Industry's technology leak? Or did a company obtain your biological tissue and clone it to create war weapons?"

"Pretty much. I need to go back to headquarters to report this situation to the company and see how to handle it."

Qin Huai knew that Yang Zi and the resistance fighters still believed the previous explanation from the enlightened clone, and didn't want to explain things clearly. So he simply continued along with this beautiful misunderstanding, extricating himself from the chaos that was about to erupt in Southeast Asia.

“Okay, this matter is indeed more important to you. Ah Hu, your code name in the company is Tian Wu? I heard that's what the cyborg called you.”

Yang Zi had been involved in fringe society for a long time and knew very well that people like Qin Huai were involved in many things, so she didn't try to persuade him to stay. She just asked him a question that he cared about at the end.

"Yes, you can call me that too, but Ah Hu sounds more affectionate."

Qin Huai shrugged, glanced at the setting sun that was about to disappear below the horizon, and felt flames erupt from the Kunlun armor beneath his feet, slowly rising in altitude.

"Yangzi, everyone, I hope we will meet again someday!"

After saying that, he suddenly accelerated, drawing a fiery line in the sky as he headed straight north.
