Chapter 7286 The Birth of the Demon King
While Guan Yu launched a powerful attack on the Yunmeng Demon God, Jiang Guang and his group of about ten people had already escorted Zhao Ying, the Demon God King, into the Yunmeng Demon God's main force from the west.
"Hey, do you guys think this method is reliable?" Bashu asked with some doubt. After three months of supplementation, Bashu had grown a full twelve centimeters. Now his growth rate had slowed down a lot, but even so, Bashu, who was already close to 1.9 meters tall, was very satisfied with his condition. After all, his talent structure had considerable requirements for height and strength.
"Whether it's reliable or not, you don't have to take any risks. Zhao Ying took the biggest risks. We're just protecting Zhao Ying to become the Demon King," Guang Yuan said irritably. "But I think it's a bit unbelievable that Jiang Guang could come up with such a brilliant idea."
"I just happened to see Bai Wang, so I thought of it." Jiang Guang waved his hand and said, "If you guys still want to be promoted to a higher rank, you should all pray that my plan will succeed. If it fails, then all your efforts will be in vain."
"To be honest, I still need a title," Hou Jing added from the side.
There's nothing we can do. These old folks here missed the best time to acquire titles. Although each of them is incredibly strong, they're only at the seventh rank on average. While that's not bad, wouldn't it be easier to retire if they could get a higher title?
Well, the average rank of seven was partly due to contributions from the Xiongnu during the Grand Military Exercises, which just goes to show that the circumstances back then were really bad.
“I need it too.” Wang Mao touched his sword. As he always said, he had a large family to support. Although he had chosen the right path and followed Liu Bei, he was too old to fully utilize his superior combat skills and had to retire, which resulted in his lower rank.
Now that he has the opportunity to obtain a higher title and ease the burden on his children and grandchildren, Wang Mao is willing to give it a try. So, as Jiang Guang said, in this situation, they should pray that Zhao Ying can successfully infiltrate the demon gods and become their leader.
In this way, everyone can have merit and everyone can get a title, but if they fail, everyone will have made a wasted trip, which will not benefit anyone!
"Shall we just charge in?" Ma Ye asked with a hint of surprise.
"No, it was you few who guarded our retreat, and then we few unleashed our full power and charged in," Jiang Guang said in a deep voice. Compared to commanding thousands of people, Jiang Guang had a more accurate decision-making ability when commanding a small elite team of ten or so people.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Huang and the others had somewhat complicated expressions. The meaning of these words was obvious: it referred to several elite talents derived from the Feast of the Corpse, who were activating their talents to the fullest extent, pretending to be demon gods, and rushing in first. Although this method could not completely deceive the demon gods, their superhuman combat power and the instinct of the Corpse Demon Gods to attach themselves to the strong meant that even if demon gods surrounded them, they could usually fool them by unleashing their full power.
Just like when Jiang Guang attacked the Heavenly Demon with all his might and shattered the Demon God, most normal Demon Gods would kneel down and let Jiang Guang absorb them after they had repaired themselves.
Jiang Guang pondered that this was also one of the characteristics of the demon gods, a point that could be exploited. As for a direct confrontation with the demon gods, even if they were superhumans, they couldn't break through the thousands of demon gods huddled together. With their strength, if those bastards swarmed in, they would be surrounded and killed by the demon gods before they could even kill one of them.
After all, the existence of super-fast regeneration can be considered a dividing line for survivability.
The unfortunate thing is that even if the people present had low-level super-speed regeneration, they didn't have as much life reserve as the demon god to frantically repair themselves.
With its moderate super-fast regeneration and tenacious vitality, any demon god would require a considerable amount of time to wear down. This was the dilemma that Guan Yu had to face when leading his main force to fight against the Yunmeng demon god!
"Alright, Brother Hou and I will go and lure out the Cloud Dream Demon God in front of you, and see if we can create a weakness in the enemy's battle line. Brother Ba and the others will guard your retreat route!" Ma Ye thought about it and Jiang Guang's plan was still sound. As for the danger, where on the battlefield is there no danger?
"Let's go." Hou Jing didn't waste any more words and flew away with Ma Ye. It just goes to show that having a pet is great; the advantage of being able to fly is obvious.
"Roar!" Just as Ma Ye approached, the demon god battle line in front of him erupted with a roar. A vacuum gun over a hundred feet long crashed down, and the demon god battle line showed obvious signs of movement. Then, the mindless demon gods naturally launched an attack on Ma Ye.
"Damn, this level of atmospheric manipulation!" Ma Ye slammed down a vacuum gun, confirming that a bunch of demons had been slapped in the face, and began a mindless chase. He immediately commanded his snow eagle to prepare to ascend, but as soon as the snow eagle flapped its wings, Ma Ye realized that something was wrong because there was not enough lift.
Then he clearly felt the air around him thinning. Without saying a word, Ma Ye also activated his atmospheric manipulation to the maximum. To be honest, he had killed several demon gods, but this was the first time he had seen a demon god who could compete with him for atmospheric energy. There was nothing to say, just do it!
As Ma Ye unleashed his elite talent, the two wild air currents began to chase each other within a range of hundreds of meters. Soon, the originally invisible air currents began to whistle and collide, and even took on special forms!
"Brother Hou!" After just a few collisions, Ma Ye realized that the other party's control over the atmosphere was definitely no less than his own. He watched as the other dozen or so demon gods rushed towards him in various contorted postures. Some of them, because of the battle, had not yet regained their senses and their fighting instincts had been awakened instead.
Long bone spears emerged from his back. The demon god, whose form was now almost like a frog, stretched out his broad hand covered in fleshy buds to grab the bone spears that had emerged from his back, and then slashed at Ma Ye in the sky.
Just by feeling the vibrations in the wind, Ma Ye knew that if this attack hit him, even with all his defenses, he would probably be sunk.
However, at this moment, Hou Jing, who was on a snow eagle with Ma Ye, made a move.
Ma Ye didn't even see how Hou Jing drew her bow and shot the arrow before he saw the demon god who had been vying with him for control of the atmosphere explode. Then, the three demon gods below, who were clearly mobilizing their elite talents and unleashing power beyond their limits, were also blown to pieces, as if they were being called out one by one.
Ma Ye immediately seized the opportunity, suddenly pulling up and dodging the bone spear.
"Damn, what kind of move was that just now?" Ma Ye said with some shock. Three seventh-level demons and one eighth-level demon were wiped out by Hou Jing with a single gesture. Only a demon god could regenerate and recover. If it were a human, they would already be dead.
"When elite talents are activated, there is a core. The mobilization of essence, energy, and spirit, and the will driving the talent to respond, all of these have a core," Hou Jing said calmly. Upon hearing this, Ma Ye's eyes flickered, and he instantly realized what Hou Jing was talking about.
"Isn't that fleeting?" Ma Ye couldn't understand. How could someone do something like that? Let alone how to identify the core at a glance, even if you were certain of its existence, how could you hit it with a single glance and shatter it?
“Experience,” Hou Jing said calmly. “So, in our time, learning integration skills was also a way to prevent people like me from existing.”
"I see!" Ma Ye listened to Hou Jing's calm voice and didn't bother to ask any more questions. More demons rushed over from the main force to annihilate them, but this was also an opportunity.
Ma Ye swooped down with Hou Jing and fired another vacuum gun, attracting all the demons' attention. Then, with a series of wailing sounds, he managed to lure away hundreds of demons. Jiang Guang, who was a few kilometers away, saw this and, without saying a word, led the demons towards his target.
Unlike their previous plan, Jiang Guang and Wang Mao believed that they were not too far from Gong Jia now, since Zhao Ying was the third demon god with intelligence and command abilities. This was because Guan Yu's side was fighting the Yunmeng demon god, and the main force of the demon gods was there. The demon gods with self-awareness had moved to the east side for safety.
Of course, a very important point here is that neither Wang Mao nor Jiang Guang knew that Guan Yu had seen a demon god with self-awareness at the front line. If they had known this, Wang Mao and Jiang Guang would have made some guesses about the true nature of the demon god.
After all, Guan Yu's understanding of the sacrificial ceremony for the deceased came from books, while Wang Mao, Jiang Guang, and others' understanding of the demon god came from personal experience. Therefore, they knew some very special aspects of the demon god, such as detachment, fusion, and splitting!
"Brother Mao, if necessary, release your sword intent and let Brother Huang kill one of the demon gods' wills and complete the separation and fusion!" Since they were prepared to kill the demon god leader, Jiang Guang had also made some preparations when he came.
For example, if one fully recognizes that the Hidden God is actually a Binshi, and even more advanced than a Binshi, the sword thought born after the Hidden God has reached its peak is the detached demon god among the Binshi demon gods. And since it is a detached demon god, once the original body is found, it will be a complete demon god.
While theoretically the best entity for a demon god should be the person who nurtured it, there's no need for that. With so many backups available, directly annihilating the self of a demon god in a corpse and infusing it with sword intent is equivalent to completing the possession. Then, fully activating the demon god, the super sword intent demon god of the Southern Army, endowed with the five great talents, can easily kill demon gods of the same level.
After all, you can understand what elites are just by looking at them!
“No problem.” Wang Mao didn’t cherish his sword intent, after all, he could raise another one if he lost it, but Qi Xiu had taken one away before.
“Old Qi,” Jiang Guang said, turning to look at Qi Xiu.
"These are the weapons prepared for you. This is all I'm good for. I feel that my Willpower Transcendence is somewhat different from Huang Ge's. I wonder if it's because I come from the Yueqi tribe." Qi Xiu didn't say much and directly took out a bunch of Willpower Transcendence swords.
To be fair, in terms of natural talent in terms of willpower, Qi Xiu should surpass Zhang Huang. After all, Qi Xiu didn't take shortcuts by relying on things like Hidden Gods or Corpse-Binding. He took the Yueqi route, which is not the willpower route, but even so, he still achieved a transcendence in willpower.
However, as things stand, Zhang Huangqiang excels in destructive power in terms of willpower, while Qi Xiu excels in scale. In any case, Qi Xiu has indeed created a large number of willpower-surpassing swords.
"Take one of these each. If something really happens, they'll last a few more days." Qi Xiu distributed the Willpower Transcendence Swords that he had handcrafted.
"Go!" Jiang Guang took the Willpower Transcendence Sword and slammed it into his door-panel broadsword. He tossed his head at Wang Mao, and the two of them charged forward. Guang Yuan and Zhang Huang then protected Zhao Ying in the center, and the five of them formed a small vanguard and charged straight ahead.
They're going to charge in and become the Demon King. Being cautious won't work at all. A king's authority is earned through fighting, so there's nothing to talk about. Just do it!
A terrifying blade of light flew out from Jiang Guang's blade, completely ignoring the attacks from the demon gods in front of him. With just one swipe, a large circle of demon gods in front of him fell down as smoothly as wheat being harvested.
The additional will transcendence was not to kill these demon gods, but to enable Jiang Guang to cut the demon gods in half like Guan Yu, so that the broken demon gods could not regenerate from the broken ends.
On the other side, Wang Mao also completely let go of his restraints. Even if he aged on the spot after this battle, he didn't care. At this moment, the Sharp Warrior's God-Slaying Blade erupted with fierce blood light. Unlike the previous calm and unassuming state, this time he attacked with all his might. The Sharp Warrior itself was a sharp blade to kill the enemy chieftain. It's just that Wang Mao didn't need to do this before, so it looked quite elegant.
But now it's playing with fire. The crimson light slices every demon that touches it in half. The special penetrating effect even disintegrates the life force of the demons on both sides of the contact surface. Although it doesn't kill the demons directly, it's enough to make them expend more power to regenerate.
"Charge! Charge! Charge!" Jiang Guang roared and charged ahead, his greatsword leaving afterimages. Even with the remains of the demon god beneath his feet, or the restraints or drags, Jiang Guang, in full second stage, with veins bulging on his face, did not care about the obstruction at all. If there was anything that was going to hold him back, let him talk to me, the second stage Heavenly Demon!
In just a few breaths, Jiang Guang and Wang Mao had already protected Zhao Ying and rushed into the demon god battle line several hundred meters deep. The two of them had exerted their strength and breakthrough ability to the extreme. At the same time, the demon god pressure on the two of them was now definitely no weaker than any of the demon gods present.
"That's it!" Jiang Guang's face was bloodshot, and his veins looked like they were about to explode. He charged forward for over a hundred meters again. As he leaped up, he saw the demon god moving strangely in the center ahead. He instantly locked onto its position and then opened his mouth like thunder. His chest exploded, and the sound even carried a bit of blood mist. But at this moment, Jiang Guang couldn't care less about that. Five seconds to kill the opponent!
"Heavenly Demon Disintegration, Stage Three!" Jiang Guang roared. The Heavenly Demon Disintegration, which had already penetrated deep into the mitochondria, broke through the cell's constraints and moved deeper into a more microscopic level.
In that instant, dark red blood mist burst forth from Jiang Guang's body. Then, Jiang Guang roared and swung his sword forward, slashing with a single strike. With a single strike, imbued with intense conviction and a blade aura capable of tearing apart all conviction, he directly shredded the demon god who was blocking his way. Afterward, Wang Mao, Zhang Huang, and Guang Yuan transformed into afterimages and appeared directly around the demon god, their three dragon bone steel swords striking the demon god's command point.
Then, with sword intent and willpower surpassing all others, the God-Slaying Technique instantly cleaved the Demon God in two. The crimson blood spear formed from the absorption of slaughter directly pierced the opponent's body, and then connected to Jiang Guang's body. Jiang Guang, who had been exposed and pale-faced after the attack, clutched his heart and ran over.
It can only be said that Jiang Guang was indeed resilient, and Zhao Ying's treatment method was extremely effective.
"Quick, it's up to you!" Jiang Guang pressed Zhao Ying directly into the body of this demon god. While cursing, Zhao Ying extended killing light spears from all over her body and began to completely dominate this demon god. Unlike the original plan to split off killing shadow soldiers with all of Zhao Ying's consciousness, it was better to directly use the main body and put on the body of the demon god. This was the safest and most stable way!
As for the potential leak of popularity, that's not a problem; there are plenty of ways to solve it!
At the same time, the surrounding demons seemed to react and began to attack Jiang Guang and the others. Their various strange talent structures put immense pressure on Jiang Guang and the others in an instant. Fortunately, Zhao Ying had already completely put the demons on his body by this time.
Following Zhao Ying's command, the six baby demons began to establish their authority. Jiang Guang and Wang Mao exchanged a few words and confirmed that the demons were not attacking Zhao Ying. The four of them then broke through the blockade of the surrounding demons and charged outwards.
However, at this moment, the demon god, whose instincts had been awakened, was blocking them several times more than before, and had even begun to spontaneously form a formation to blockade Jiang Guang and his group.
Fortunately, Qi Xiu, Ba Xiu, Huang Xiu, and the others who remained outside were no pushovers either. Although they were not as powerful as Jiang Guang and his group, they had a considerable advantage in stalling for time and suppressing the demon god. In addition, their defensive accumulation made them immune to various suppressions and negative effects, allowing them to withstand the demon god's attacks and protect the way Jiang Guang and the others came from.
"Retreat first!" Wang Mao shouted as he carried Jiang Guangfei out and glanced at Huang Xiu. Then, the three first-generation elite warriors took off decisively, while Huang Xiu and Baxiu desperately stalled for time, waiting for Hou Jing and Ma Ye to return. Accompanied by two light arrows falling from the sky, the two demon gods who were blocking Huang Xiu and Baxiu's way were blown apart. Without saying a word, the two turned and ran.
After the trip, Jiang Guang and his group didn't kill a single one of the hundreds of demon gods here, but they successfully sent Zhao Ying into it to become the Demon God King. The rest is to get these demon gods and the main force of demon gods to reunite!
