He changed Tiwat

Han Fulai silently raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

He wasn't a water conservancy expert at all; in essence, he was just "solving a problem."

He simply consulted with Galcia and Patrick beforehand, memorizing all the possible problems and solutions. His current situation is somewhat like a quiz show segment where the host has barely uttered a few words before he blurts out the answer—which shows that he has indeed memorized the "question bank" perfectly.

Han Fulai was actually confident that he would get a perfect score in this "question and answer" session from beginning to end.

However, human resources are sometimes limited.

He wasn't the only one answering this question; if he didn't make a mistake in his command, the soldiers and workers below him also couldn't make a mistake. This was a question that required their joint efforts to complete.

There are still 14 hours until the flood peak passes, but he has already deployed most of his manpower. If another situation arises, will he be able to hold on?

Shen He is still in the "accumulation" phase. What if a dangerous situation arises that cannot be handled by manpower before she has completed her "accumulation"?

As if in response to Han Fulai's concerns, the originally sunny afternoon sky was suddenly covered with a layer of haze.

A muffled rumble of thunder sounded.

Then, it started to rain.

"Oops!"

It's raining heavily!

Panic could be heard from all over the levee.

Rain means the water level will continue to rise!

Even Han Fulai, who had been keeping a calm demeanor, couldn't help but want to jump up and down at this moment—what the hell is going on with this weather? Weren't we supposed to stay dry for the next few days?

He almost wanted to grab Garcia and Patrick by the collar and give them a piece of his mind. The prerequisite for holding the Guiliyuan Dam was that the water level could not rise any further; this was the most fundamental issue. As a result, this sudden rain threatened to undo all their previous efforts.

He knew, of course, that weather forecasts were highly unreliable, and neither Garcia nor Patrick could guarantee their accuracy. Moreover, anyone who looked at the weather before returning to the plains would conclude that it wouldn't rain.

The rain came without any warning.

But now the raindrops are actually hitting his face.

Chapter 389 Raising Your Head to Drive Away the Dark Clouds

Raindrops fell onto the water's surface, creating ripples.

If the flood control efforts at Guiliyuan were a defensive battle, then every drop of rain falling now is like enemy reinforcements. The previous defenses were already strained enough; the enemy's ability to reinforce is unbearable.

This is incredible! It's like the heavens have given us a cheat code!

Han Fulai gazed at the surging blue water, his heart filled with bitterness.

His preparations were based on the prediction that the water level would not continue to rise, and that prediction had been very accurate before—but now the situation has changed drastically.

This is like he prepared a table of dishes, but two tables of guests showed up. How is he supposed to eat?

Recalling the scene where he had sworn his life on Ningguang's head... Han Fulai almost wanted to look up to the sky and sigh—"Has this Biyue River really turned into my burial ground?"

—No, my surname isn't Chiang!

Cursing and blaming others will not solve any problems.

Since fate is making things difficult for him, then he'll fight against it.

He's Commander Han, who always has a solution.

Han Fulai took a deep breath and shouted to the sky, "I am Han Fulai, and I respectfully invite the Immortal Xiao to descend!"

His voice drowned out the sound of rain, thunder, and water, carrying far across the embankment.

Like a fierce wind dispelling the gloom, a green fairy figure bursts through the air.

"If you encounter any dangers such as being lost in the wilderness, being attacked by thieves, being afflicted by fire, water, or weapons, being harmed by ghosts, gods, or poisons, being attacked by ferocious beasts or venomous insects, or being attacked by enemies or wicked people, then call upon my name. The Golden Roc General under the Emperor's command will answer the call!"

The Xiao stood proudly atop the embankment amidst the wind and rain, its towering figure visible to everyone who looked up. Its roar, like thunder and lightning, resounded in everyone's ears.

The arrival of a true immortal amidst the turmoil was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for everyone present. That was the "Golden Roc General" under the Emperor's command—it sounded incredibly powerful; surely the immortal had a solution!

—Actually, Xiao knew that even immortals couldn't do anything about it...

Han Fulai didn't need to shout so loudly; he could have just used the contract mark to let Xiao sense it. He shouted like that to boost morale.

Xiao had clearly been keeping an eye on his situation, making a grand entrance with impressive special effects, all to help him stabilize morale.

Han Fulai pointed to the sky and shouted, "I beg the immortal Xiao to remove these rain clouds for me!"

Xiao remained standing in the air with his arms crossed, without responding.

He was certainly willing to help, but the question was how? Not to mention the Yaksha, even the Emperor himself couldn't control the matter of controlling clouds and rain.

At this moment, Han Fulai whispered four words: "Suspended Li Qianjun".

Xiao blinked, watching Han Fulai pull out a huge longbow taller than himself from the Eye of the Blank God.

After helping Xiao suppress his "inner demons," Han Fulai collected the bow.

This bow was the heirloom of Xiao's elder brother, Fushe Yaksha, and as a "protective weapon of the nation" personally crafted by the Emperor, this divine bow, like the Hepu Kite, could help Xiao suppress his "karmic obstacles." Han Fulai originally intended for Xiao to take it. However, Xiao firmly declined, stating that since Fushe said his heir belonged to a destined person, Han Fulai, as that destined person, should accept the bow.

So Han Fulai reluctantly accepted the bow, indicating that he was only keeping it safe for Xiao and wouldn't use the divine bow normally—he couldn't even draw it, so it was really useless to him…

Now is the perfect time to use this bow.

Xiao understood Han Fulai's meaning and slowly raised his hand to cover his face.

When he lowered his hand, he was already wearing a blue demon mask.

"Subduing Demons - Wrathful Manifestation".

The "Jingyao Nuo Dance" has begun.

Xiao instantly unleashed a tremendous aura, even shaking away the raindrops in the sky with the cyan wind element surrounding him.

Han Fulai used both hands to throw the bow into the air. Xiao caught it with one hand, while in his other hand he held the spear and the kite.

At the same time, Han Fulai, standing on the ground, put his hands together, with a square knot on his left hand and a three-leaf knot on his right, and golden light shone on them.

"Impregnable!"

Han Fulai recited four words, and the Jade Shield suddenly appeared, surrounding Xiao's body. This was a shield he had created with all his might. It had been able to withstand the storms and thunderstorms summoned by Ba Che and protect the Jade Pavilion, and now it could certainly protect Xiao as well.

Xiao then placed his spear and the kite on the bowstring of the Thousand-Jin Hanging Bow, and then exhaled and slowly pulled back the bowstring—he was going to use the kite as an "arrow"!

His target was the clouds above Guili Plain.

Han Fulai murmured, "Of all the elements of heaven and earth, only the rock remains eternally steadfast..."

At the same time, Xiao echoed his chant: "...Golden Roc Yaksha, protect the strong walls and keep them safe!"

This is the "Jiheng Jing" that Han Fulai used when he made a contract with Xiao, and it is also the "word spirit" that the two of them used to maintain the contract.

The two of them were working together, concentrating their power on the bow and arrow in Xiao's hand.

In the air, Xiao's entire body was almost tilted back to be parallel to the ground, and the Suspended Might was stretched to its limit.

"Evil Calamity - Destroy the Three Realms!" Xiao shouted, releasing the bowstring.

He and Pu Yuan transformed into a streak of azure light, soaring straight into the rain clouds in the sky.

Wind, rain, thunder, lightning—nothing could stop this arrow, which combined the power of two divine artifacts.

He Puyuan broke through the thick rain clouds and soared straight into the sky.

A strange sight appeared in the sky—while it was still raining around Guili Plain, a large hole had broken through the clouds above the embankment, allowing sunlight to see through it.

Xiao's figure disappeared the moment he fired the arrow.

Supernatural Powers: The Law of Freedom in the Sky.

Xiao tore through space and appeared next to the soaring He Puyuan. He gripped the handle of the spear, then changed direction, headfirst and feet up, heading straight for the thick dark cloud.

The spear pierced through the clouds once more, and the azure figure moved tirelessly among them.

He Puyuan acted like a lightning rod, attracting all the surrounding lightning. Golden snakes danced wildly in the clouds, and the lightning and thunder seemed endless. Lightning struck Xiao's body, determined to turn him into dust, but with the Jade Shield protecting him, no lightning bolt could penetrate the strongest shield in the world.

Xiao's traversal was not ordinary flight, but rather the cutting of space with supernatural powers. The space he traversed left a spatial rift, sucking the surrounding clouds into the spatial rift.

Behind him appeared a phantom image, a giant golden-winged bird.

When it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky. When the Peng bird migrates to the Southern Ocean, it stirs up the water for three thousand miles and rises up ninety thousand miles on a whirlwind.

This is Xiao's supernatural power—Destruction of the Land: Dust Crusher.

Xiao is the strongest spear in the world right now!

Yaksha indeed lacks the ability to summon clouds and rain, nor the power to control celestial phenomena—but he is the Golden-Winged Roc King. If he has no power… then he will use brute force!

If you cut space in half, how can any rain clouds still exist?

People on the ground were surprised to find that the rain gradually stopped—because the cumulonimbus clouds were sliced ​​apart piece by piece by the roc in the sky and swallowed up like cake.

Han Fulai looked up at the scattered dark clouds and recited a poem:

"The sky meets the clouds and waves, connecting with the morning mist; the Milky Way seems to turn as a thousand sails dance. It's as if my soul has returned to the Emperor's abode. I hear the voice of Heaven, earnestly asking me where I am going."

"I lament the long road ahead and the approaching dusk, my poetry, though startling in its verses, is in vain. The roc soars ninety thousand miles on the wind. May the wind not cease, but carry my humble boat to the three sacred mountains!"

Chapter 390 Freezing the Ice River for You [4k5]

The rain clouds in the sky were eventually torn apart and dispersed, disappearing without a trace.

The afternoon sun shone brightly on the earth again, like the dawn that finally arrived after a deep night.

This is exactly what Shih-yun, the "reporter" who had just arrived near the Guiliyuan Dam, witnessed.

She took notes of what she saw:

"The Golden-Winged Roc King brandishes his spear, Commander-in-Chief Han composes a poem, and in the midst of laughter, the clouds disperse and the rain ceases, and the colors of the returning plains shine brightly."

"Everyone saw the light of victory!"

Although the floodwaters had not yet receded, the soldiers and workers of the Thousand Rock Army on Guili Plain had already cheered wildly. Many workers knelt down on the spot to worship Xiao, and even many soldiers embraced each other and wept.

The rain came and went quickly, lasting only ten minutes, but for those involved, it was nothing short of a dramatic rise and fall in life.

The flood peak was surging forward fiercely, and everyone was struggling to hold on when suddenly dark clouds loomed overhead, and in an instant, torrential rain poured down—it was truly a case of "when it rains, it pours." Anyone who saw this would feel despair, thinking that it was fate's will to destroy them.

Unexpectedly, Commander Han was able to summon immortals, and the power of the immortals was so strong that they could disperse the rain clouds and reverse the celestial phenomena—indeed, with Commander Han around, there is nothing to fear!

After despair comes hope.

A firm premonition welled up in everyone's hearts—we will definitely win, we will definitely be able to defend Guili Plain!

Under the reverent gaze of the mortals, Xiao descended slowly in front of Han Fulai in triumph.

He waved his hand to wipe off the mask from his face, revealing a tired face beneath.

Xiao was able to accomplish his feat not only by combining the power of himself and Han Fulai and drawing upon the power of the two divine artifacts, but also by employing the "Four Calamities of Formation, Abiding, Decay, and Emptiness" from the Yaksha supernatural powers. The power of the Four Calamities supernatural powers increases in the order of Formation, Abiding, Decay, and Emptiness. For example, Xiao's "Pacifying Demon Nuo Dance" is actually the "Forming Calamity - Growth of Ignorance" from the Four Calamities supernatural powers, using the wrathful appearance of a Vajra to increase power and sweep away evil spirits.

The two instances of his "Destruction Divine Power" were far more powerful than "Demon Suppression Dance," even capable of tearing space apart. Using the "Eight Gates" from Naruto as an analogy, Xiao was essentially fighting with six gates open, and the strain on his body was unimaginable.

Moreover, the most significant burden lies in the mental aspect. The four kalpas of the Yaksha's supernatural powers are generated by amplifying negative emotions within the mind, such as greed, anger, ignorance, and murderous intent. If these negative emotions cannot be suppressed and control over the mind is lost, the Yaksha may lose itself and transform into a vengeful ghost.

Although Xiao has temporarily suppressed the "karmic obstacles" within his body, they haven't been completely eradicated. He should avoid using such power unless absolutely necessary. The burst of power just now had caused him significant damage, and he desperately needs rest, both physically and mentally.

In fact, this was largely thanks to Han Fu who helped him share the burden of mental erosion.

Han Fulai is actually far less dashing than Shiyun portrays him to be. The lines like "Commander-in-Chief Han composes poems, and the clouds disperse and the rain clears in the midst of laughter" are all just for show.

Han Fulai, standing before Xiao, had bloodshot eyes and bulging veins on his forehead. He also exuded a faint air of ferocity, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor. Had he not lowered his head and covered his face with his hand, the soldiers nearby would likely have been worried about his mental state.

To outsiders, this appearance might seem like Han Fulai had been staying up all night for several days, but Xiao knew it was because Han Fulai had just taken on half of his "karmic burden," and Han Fulai was now "blinded by rage."

Han Fulai was feeling extremely unwell; in fact, the word "manic" would suffice—he was now truly experiencing the destructive urge that Xiao had been trying so hard to suppress. If this urge were any stronger, he might want to tear something down, like the levee right beneath his feet…

The fact that they can both stay sober now is thanks to the contract that "shares karmic burdens." If only one person had to bear it, I'm afraid Xiao and Han Fulai would both have collapsed by now.

Xiao raised his hand, formed a complex hand seal, and then tapped Han Fulai's forehead.

"All dharmas are empty of inherent existence; they are neither produced nor destroyed, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing. Diva Yaksha, all suffering has ceased."

A stream of green energy flowed into Han Fulai's body through his fingers, and Han Fulai immediately felt a cool sensation, his mind instantly becoming clear.

This is Xiao's "Supernatural Power: Extinction of All Sufferings," which is mainly used in battle to increase his endurance, similar to the effect of "eliminating the sense of pain." The reason why the Yaksha clan is fearless in battle is actually closely related to these combat-specific supernatural powers—if they can't feel pain when they are hit, then they become berserkers.

The reason he was able to endure the pain of being eroded by "karmic obstacles" for thousands of years was not only due to the suppression by the divine artifact made by the Emperor, but also due to the support of this supernatural power.

However, this supernatural power is similar to "adrenaline." Although it can eliminate pain in a short time, it cannot relieve the damage to the body and mind. The real cure still depends on one's own cultivation.

However, Han Fulai needs such supernatural abilities right now. His work is not over yet; to cope with the upcoming command tasks, he still needs to keep a clear head.

"Thank you." Han Fulai bowed to Xiao in thanks.
