He changed Tiwat

The divine child shook his head.

"Teacher... Aying might be even more clumsy than you know... Even if someone exposes her thoughts to her face, she'll pout like a sulking little girl, holding her head high, refusing to admit defeat..."

From a certain point onward, she embarked on a path that became increasingly difficult for the divine child to reach.

Yes, that moment might be the time when Ying steps into the "Pure Land of One Heart".

Even if it's just wishful thinking on the part of the Divine Child, she still believes that this is the only way that the clumsy mind of the Shadow could think of to make the friendship last forever.

Without saying goodbye or meeting again, their relationship remained unchanged from back then.

At least that's what Ying thought.

“Teacher, you sacrificed your life to save the Inazuma people from the ‘Dark Calamity’ back then. As your successor, I am willing to do the same thing to save this country… and by the way, save her as well.”

The divine child looked at the divine cherry tree: "So, could you please accept my White Star Blood... and then lend me your power temporarily?"

Crimson petals fluttered down from the cherry tree.

The petals fell into the child's palm and transformed into a fox-shaped mask, a common sight at festivals and beloved by children.

The moment Lei raised the naginata in the movie, "Isshin Jodo" also changed.

The former "Pure Land of One Heart" was a desolate world—simple colors, withered textures, gray earth... monotonous and simple, lonely and indifferent.

It's like a static old object, such as an old chair, a pottery jar, or an old wall, where five hundred years of time seem to be sealed, and every grain of sand can evoke a long-forgotten story...

But now, the "pure land of one heart" is only filled with desolation.

Perhaps because Lei's mindset had changed, the originally gray sky was now completely opened, and a red moon hung high in the sky, emitting an ominous red cold light.

The gray, barren landscape has been transformed into a single circular platform engraved with the "Sanba pattern".

The platform is surrounded by thousands of torii gates, solemn and majestic, guarding the deity.

Han Fulai's foot also touched the ground at the same time.

He and Lei Yingdong now stand on opposite sides of this "ring," silently facing each other.

The crimson moonlight shone on the purple naginata blade, giving it a deep, inky black hue, like a gaze from the abyss.

The naginata is a sharp weapon used to cut away debris.

Inazuma's naginata wasn't originally called a naginata; it was called "Nagamaki."

In terms of appearance, the naginata is almost identical to a samurai sword with a long handle, and its usage is also the same as that of a samurai sword, primarily involving slashing. Therefore, it is called "long maki" to distinguish it from the short-handled samurai sword.

Its name, Naginata, is related to the Thunder General.

The word "薙" in the Naginata language means "weeding" or "weeding." Legend has it that during a time of war, General Raiden charged into the enemy ranks with a long sword, and wherever he went, the enemy forces fell like reeds. The name "薙刀" (Naginata) originated from this story.

Now, the reed that stands in front of the general's naginata is called Han Fulai.

The Thunder General, perched atop the thunderclouds, had looked down countless times from the top of the castle tower upon the mortal world she and her sister cherished. Yet, all she saw were shallow conflicts, and what flashed before her eyes were nothing more than fleeting illusions of desire…

"Then—what kind of eternity will be reflected in Phanes's eyes?" She remembered that the divine being who drank wine with her under the cherry tree had once asked her this question.

What a pointless question.

Although the answer given back then is no longer remembered due to the alcohol, the now solitary individual has found the answer through countless recollections.

Sweet fruits need to be thinned, and dark-colored things need to have their flowers left to ripen.

In the eternal, tranquil land of light, no disorder shall be tolerated.

“The one who wields the naginata should uphold the constant way. The weeds that disturb the unchanging world will be annihilated by lightning.” Lei Ying held the naginata level, the tip pointing directly at Han Fulai’s brow. “You said before that you wanted to personally ascend to the Heavenly Guard to learn from me. Now, I’m giving you that opportunity.”

"I have heard that the spear skills of the Liyue Martial God are unparalleled, and I have also heard some busybodies compare the Thunder General's sword with the Geo Archon's spear... You are Morax's successor, and I hope your spear skills will not disappoint me."

Han Fulai sighed softly. Sure enough, things had turned out this way.

Although he didn't believe he could persuade Lei to make a movie with just words, he would put in a lot of effort to try as long as there was even a sliver of hope.

Unfortunately, that attempt failed.

Of course, he was prepared to take action, and the current situation was exactly as he had anticipated.

In this battle, however, he did not intend to use martial arts skills to compete—or rather, he was certain to lose if it came down to a contest of martial arts prowess.

The title of "successor of the Emperor" sounds impressive, but Zhongli never taught him any martial arts!

He wanted to really fight Lei Yingdian, and then Lei Yingdian would ask him if he was a fake successor of Morax... Speaking of which, if Lei Yingdian really asked Zhong Li if he had ever taken him as a disciple, Zhong Li would definitely say no...

Despite his inner grumbling, Han Fulai maintained a calm expression on his face, his eyes as still as a tranquil lake.

He summoned the Salt Sorrow Spear, holding it behind his back with one hand, and with the other hand, following the etiquette of Liyue, he made a "please" gesture to Lei Ying: "Please enlighten me, Your Excellency."

Before the words "benefit your guidance" had even finished, the dagger of the cherubic film had already struck.

The attack gave the opponent no time to react or dodge; the attack was launched and arrived almost simultaneously.

This strike appeared to be nothing more than a simple, unremarkable thrust.

But if the speed of this thrust is fast enough to leave behind a booming sound like the cry of a thousand birds, then even the most "ordinary" straight thrust will evolve into a divine realm.

For Ray Movie, this attack was merely a "test," but those who could avoid it might not even number in the top 10 across the entire Teyvat continent.

Ying, who had received "anti-lightning general special training," might be able to avoid this blow... but Han Fulai cannot.

He didn't even have time to react, so he took the blow to his face.

Of course, even if his skin was as thick as a city wall, the city wall would still be pierced by this slash—what truly took the hit was the Salt Sorrow Spear that suddenly appeared in front of him, along with the golden shield wrapped around its shaft.

"Jade Shield?" Lei Yingdong frowned slightly.

The Jade Shield of the Rock God is a symbol of "a thousand rocks firm and a towering mountain unmoving," and she had certainly heard of it. It was not surprising that Han Fulai, as the "successor of the Emperor," would know this move, nor was it surprising that he could block it with his spear... But what was strange was that she did not see any sign that Han Fulai had cast any spells or parried.

Even as the blade approached him, he didn't blink, as if he hadn't noticed his own movement at all... It seems that this person's martial arts skills have indeed reached the level of "acting before the mind," with the body's reaction preceding consciousness.

Han Fulai subtly gave a thumbs-up to the hand holding the gun, a gesture of respect to Yan Aiqiang.

—Yeah, Salt Sorrow Spear is much better at fighting than he is.

Previously, when the "Scattered Soldiers" used "All Dharmas Without Self" on him, depriving him of his five senses, he had tried to fight on his own by relying on the spirit of the Salt Sorrow Spear. This time, he also used the Salt Sorrow Spear to make up for his lack of martial arts skills.

It doesn't matter if he can't react, as long as Salt Sorrow Spear can.

"General's move was incredibly swift, with all its power concentrated at one point. It's more like a spear than a swordsmanship?"—He even had the leisure to comment on Lei's martial arts skills.

Lei Yingdong sheathed his naginata and calmly replied, "This move is indeed a spear technique, called 'Falling Rainbow Spear'."

She came up with the name on the spot.

The Rock King Emperor's spear is called "Piercing Rainbow Spear," so she used "Falling Rainbow Spear" instead. She named the move "Falling Rainbow Spear" not because she had any problem with Morax, but because Han Fulai's gesture just now made her a little angry.

In her eyes, Han Fulai's "asking for advice" gesture meant that she should attack first, while Inazuma only "let go first" when a superior martial artist was instructing a disciple.

But why should this kid let her go first? Oh, and he even dared to comment on it!

Her warrior spirit gained a slight advantage at this moment.

She had previously achieved a complete victory over Ying, who was also a "Descendant," and this time, she was prepared to achieve a complete victory as well—a flawless victory in every aspect, from martial arts to strength.

Otherwise, the eternal way cannot be fully manifested.

She mimicked Han Fulai's posture, sheathing her naginata behind her back with one hand and raising her other hand to her chest with her palm facing up, even hooking her fingers twice: "The spear techniques Morax taught you, 'Rock Rain,' 'Pan Tuo Lie Sheng,' 'Sar Gai Qun Feng,' or 'Xuan Yan Chen Duan,' use whichever you know—while you're still alive."

Han Fulai's lips twitched slightly. He had never even heard of the moves Lei Yingdian mentioned... He, the "successor of the Emperor," only knew two moves: Jade Shield and Heavenly Movement. Old Master Zhongli's spear technique was indeed very cool, but he hadn't taught it to him...

However, Ray's movie gave him the opportunity to attack, and he had to seize it.

After all, from the very beginning, his only chance of winning was to "win over the hearts and minds of the people".

He silently gripped the salt-stained spear, then raised it high to the sky.

"General, you wish to see the spear techniques taught by the Emperor, and I dare not refuse. However, the spear techniques that the Emperor taught me are not within the scope of what you are referring to."

"Oh?" Lei Yingdong became interested. "What kind of marksmanship did he teach you?"

"The Spear of the God of War," Han Fu said, uttering those four words.

"What is the 'Spear of the God of War'?" Lei asked curiously.

In the past, when the Seven Gods gathered, they would discuss martial arts—mostly recounting stories from the War of the Demon Gods, and sometimes even demonstrating a few moves when the wine flowed freely. Lei Movie considered himself knowledgeable about the martial arts of the Seven Kingdoms, but had never heard of Morax creating a "Spear of the God of War."

Han Fulai revealed a profound smile: "The Spear of the God of War takes the sharpness of virtuous and upright men, the will of the people of the world as its handle, is surrounded by the sea of ​​clouds, and is bound by Mount Heng. It is straight and invincible, it is raised to the highest point, it is lower than the lowest point, and it is wielded without deviation. It can cleave the floating clouds above and sever the earth's boundaries below. Once this spear is used, it will bring order to the world."

The Emperor said: "Although I have no intention of vying for power, I know the suffering of the common people. I only wish to cleanse the world and protect this corner of the floating world."

"The spear technique passed down by the Emperor is called 'stopping war'—stopping war is true martial arts."

"And I have come here today to end the war."

He released his grip on the gun.

"The God of War's Spear has been drawn. General, you have been defeated."

The Salt Sorrow Spear left his hand and suddenly flew into the sky, shooting straight at the red moon hanging high in the sky.

But just as the golden spear was about to touch the crimson moon, the crimson moon vanished.

The next moment, the crimson moon reappeared behind Lei Yingdian.

“You seem to have forgotten that this is my sanctuary, and what you see is merely a landscape of my mind. If you think that striking that crimson moon will defeat me… then you should pierce my heart with your spear.”

As he spoke, Lei Yingdian's naginata slashed at Han Fulai's face once again.

This time it wasn't a test, it was a kill.

Whether the "unthinking slash" is wielded with a katana or a naginata, its destructive nature remains unchanged.

This time, the naginata did not produce any explosions—the shattered space made no sound.

But this strike failed to kill Han Fulai.

Han Fulai simply extended his right hand and grasped the blade of the naginata.

Lei's eyes widened in surprise.

This is definitely not a strike that can be caught with bare hands. Even a demon god couldn't do it, let alone someone whose power hasn't reached the level of a demon god.

But he just happened to grasp her naginata, as if picking up a flower with his fingers.

"I told you, General, you have already lost."

Chapter 199 I've Come to Save You, Lei Movie [4k]

For the people living in Inazuma, many things have remained unchanged since ancient times.

There have been wind, rain, thunder, and lightning here since ancient times, there has been the light of day and the sea... and there was General Thunder and Lightning.

Before her young son went to sleep, his mother told him a story about a general who slew a demon and subdued a foreign race.

The young boy and girl traversed the archipelago, their eyes meeting canyons cleaved by a single stroke of lightning, and the grim, pale serpentine skeletons standing tall.

The soldiers rushed to the front lines, shouting, "The Way of Heaven is vast and mighty, the spirit of Heaven is eternal."

The people live in peace and contentment, and they are grateful to the general and his three loyal and dutiful lieutenants.

The Thunder General's fame has long transcended the shackles of life, transforming into the eternal faith that Inazuma cherishes.

Given this reputation and power, people have reason to believe that their descendants will witness the same scenery, build their inner world with the same faith, and continue this legacy.

And the "Eternal God" who carries this fame and power, the Thunder General who has been undefeated on the land of Inazuma for thousands of years and is regarded as the embodiment of the concept of "invincibility", saw for the first time someone who could catch his "unthinkable sword" with his bare hands.

—At the same time, it was also the first time that someone had declared victory to his face.

He said, "General, you have been defeated."

Did we lose?

Lei Movie doesn't think so.

He merely caught his own knife.

This did surprise her, but she had already experienced a similar surprise three days earlier.

In the battle against Kannazuka, he also took a blow from her. What has already happened can certainly happen again—Lei Movie knew very well that Han Fulai’s arrogant words in front of her were nothing more than an attempt to continue to shake her heart.

How could we let him succeed?

Only those who can catch her blade are worthy of inheriting the legacy of the Liyue War God and are qualified to face the might of thunder!

Those who challenge General Thunder should be of this caliber.

At this moment, Lei's heart was not filled with doubt and wavering, but with an ever-increasing fighting spirit.

"Sever the Pure Land!"
