Chapter 7280 All Prepared
Jiang Guang swung his large sword and smashed it down hard. The wild power stirred the air and made a thunderous sound. Then, a sword shadow appeared, and the huge mythical creature that was just standing still was directly destroyed by Jiang Guang.
"Brother Huang!" After Jiang Guang finished off the creature in front of him, which was either a Fei Beast or a Drought Demon, with a full-force attack, he turned around and roared at Zhang Huang. Then he shot backward with all his might. There was no way around it; the mythical characteristics of this kind of mythical species were very troublesome. Even a superhuman like Jiang Guang, who had ridiculous resistance, was dehydrated at such close range.
"Here it comes!" Zhang Huang only answered once, and the moment Jiang Guang retreated, he transformed into a sword light, using his superhuman strength to directly annihilate the exposed demon god's will body. Then Zhao Ying rushed forward with the killing light gun and took a deep breath.
After a series of attacks, this top-tier mythical creature was reduced to a pile of rotten flesh. Although it was still multiplying wildly, without the control of the will body, it could not unleash the characteristics of a top-tier mythical creature. Furthermore, it was constantly being drained of its own essence and spirit by the killing. After half an hour of this ordeal, Zhao Ying took it as her baby.
"Now there should only be that Rui Shi species left, right?" Jiang Guang said with a serious expression, looking at Zhao Ying, who had just absorbed the thing that was hard to tell whether it was a drought demon or a flying beast.
Mythical beings are very strong and difficult to deal with, but these three people respectively restrain the physical, mental and life revival abilities of mythical beings. Jiang Guang's full-force attack as a second-stage Heavenly Demon is enough to directly destroy most of the eighth-level demon gods. After the demon god's body is destroyed, the exposed will body will face Zhang Huang, whose will surpasses that of the demon god, and that will result in a one-hit kill.
Without the level of willpower exceeding the limit, facing a god-slaying strike that surpasses willpower, one would basically die on the spot. Although the demon god has accumulated a huge amount of life force through its body, it can still continuously recover even after its will is destroyed. Moreover, thanks to the effect of the connection between essence, energy and spirit, it takes a certain amount of time for the demon god's self-awareness to regenerate.
But Zhao Ying was there too. After the demon god's will was erased, only physical instinct remained. To Zhao Ying, it was nothing more than a piece of cake. The accumulation of hundreds of years of life was simply too terrifying. It took Zhao Ying several tens of minutes of killing to absorb and transform it, and release it continuously, in order to gradually subdue the demon god and turn it into his own combat power. If it were a normal person, they would have died instantly after being hit by Jiang Guang and Zhang Huang!
To be honest, if the Demon God didn't have this super-fast regeneration ability, Chen Xi would have already sent Lu Bu and Guan Yu to deal with him; it would have been a matter of one strike each.
The reason we didn't send those two to kill was because they had severed the Demon God's will. The Demon God's body was constantly regenerating, and the remaining time was no different from what ordinary veterans would do—it was all just making rice cakes. Since it was all just making rice cakes anyway, we might as well let the veterans do it.
"No need. Eight demon gods are too much of a burden for me, especially since they are all mythical species for combat power. My willpower can't handle a seventh one." Zhao Ying closed his eyes and sensed for a moment before giving his answer. He originally thought he could bring seven demon gods with him, but the truth is that even at the same level of willpower enhancement, the wills of demon gods are different.
“Then you go back first, or come with us and kill that Elite version of the Demon God. Our mission was to eliminate all dangerous mythical creatures, and based on my decades of experience, to be honest, the Elite version of the Demon God is even more outrageous than the mythical creatures.” Jiang Guang said very seriously, “I can’t guarantee that I can hit it in one blow and smash it to pieces.”
When Jiang Guang dealt with other mythical beings, his core strategy was to simply walk up and unleash a powerful attack, instantly obliterating them, leaving the rest as garbage time. After all, no matter how strong a mythical being was, their perception of the strength of a contemporary veteran was often greatly flawed. However, the Demon God of the Rui Shi version was different; the more he thought about it, the more something seemed amiss.
"It's alright, I'll take care of that. I also need to test it out," Zhao Ying said in a deep voice. He might be a bit crazy, but even when it comes to taking risks, the risks need to be manageable. He needed to see if the demon gods he was currently commanding could actually coordinate the attacks.
"Why is there a version of the Demon God from the Rui Shi?" Zhang Huang asked with some curiosity. "Shouldn't everything here be ancient, seven hundred years old? Weren't the Rui Shi created by General Duan? Why is there one here?"
“You should ask Perennis about this kind of question, Brother Huang.” Jiang Guang glanced at Zhang Huang and said with a hint of helplessness. He had participated in the Nordic Wars, so he knew the cause and effect very well and knew exactly what was going on. Therefore, Jiang Guang could remain calm no matter what strange things he saw in the wild.
"To be honest, only the Ruishi version of the Demon God is relatively normal. I've even seen the Ruishi version of the Red-crowned Crane before," Zhao Ying said with a hint of exasperation.
At this moment, Zhang Huang even had a question mark above his head. What the hell was going on? What did "the Ruishi version of the red-crowned crane" mean? Besides being transmitted from person to person, could the Ruishi also be transmitted from person to crane? Are you kidding me? This is too abstract!
"In short, the sorcerer Perennis has come up with a new trick. Animals can even be commanded. Oh, I misremembered. The 'human-beast innate talent' was created by General Huangfu. Perennis only played a supporting role in this." Jiang Guang thought for a moment and said, feeling that he was putting a lot of blame on Perennis. He couldn't put all the blame on Perennis; he also had to consider the unscrupulous fellow on his side.
"Oh, General Huangfu." Zhang Huang nodded slowly, indicating his understanding. After all, he understood what kind of people his generals were, how inhuman they were, and how unconventional they were.
"Then let's go. Lao Guang and I will back you up. You take your Demon God Baby and take down that Elite version of the Demon God to test its combat power." After hearing that Huangfu Song was involved, Zhang Huang lost interest in listening. Coming from the previous era and from the extreme Elite troop type, Zhang Huang had his own correct understanding of the extent to which Han Dynasty generals and officers were inhuman, so he changed the subject in a very calm manner.
"Speaking of which, how old are you exactly?" Zhao Ying asked Jiang Guang a question that came from the bottom of his heart. He had been suspicious for a while. He had thought that Jiang Guang was trying to trick him by calling him "Uncle Guang," since Jiang Guang had gone on blind dates and gotten married around the same time as him.
At the time, all the veterans who had followed Jiang Guang were very angry, feeling that Jiang Guang had fallen from grace. After all, so many of them had called him "uncle" for so long, only to find that he was about the same age as them. They cursed him for several years, until this year when they met those old guys from the Sanhe Five Schools and discovered that Jiang Guang seemed to have actually fought alongside these old guys and was quite familiar with the elites among them.
For someone like Zhang Huang, an old-timer, Zhao Ying usually couldn't pull strings with him because they weren't from the same generation. But Jiang Guang was different. The reason the mission department issued this mission today, which was clearly meant to strengthen Zhao Ying's combat capabilities, was because Jiang Guang was waiting for Zhang Huang to come and brought him into this team. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Zhao Ying and Jiang Guang alone to wear down the will of the two demon gods. So Zhao Ying was really puzzled.
After all, Zhao Ying now knows that some talents can restore a person's youth. Such talents were unavailable to the younger generation back then. But given Jiang Guang's current familiarity with Hou Jing, Zhang Huang, and their group, this person was definitely an elite from the Three Rivers Five Schools back then, a member of the Central Imperial Guard system. They must know about him.
So Zhao Ying, filled with doubt and holding back her questions, finally couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Guang rolled his eyes in annoyance, too lazy to pay any attention to Zhao Ying. Damn it, back then, he lost all face trying to get married, directly revealing that he was a young man. Now he has a wife and kids, and you all suspect that I'm a seventy-year-old man who rebuilt my youth through some kind of oath or life reconstruction? Seriously, am I, Jiang Guang, really that shameless?
“That’s right, that’s what I think.” Zhang Huang and Zhao Ying both nodded, as if they had heard Jiang Guang’s thoughts. At this moment, Jiang Guang felt bullied. Damn it, even someone with my super strength can be bullied. How can the Han Dynasty’s environment be any better? It’s just too bad!
"Alright, enough nonsense, hurry up and finish your side job tonight." Zhang Huang was too lazy to say anything more. In the eyes of these old folks, Jiang Guang was shameless, a real beast who tricked teenage girls into having his son by making promises.
"Hey, Huang-ge, that's going too far." Jiang Guang chased after Zhang Huang, reaching out his hand, and then followed. The three of them moved quickly and soon arrived at the area where the warrior version of the demon god was located. When they arrived, they found the warrior version of the demon god sharpening his sword under the moonlight.
"This doesn't seem right." Jiang Guang was a little puzzled when he saw such a large mass of demons squatting in place from afar. But when he got a little closer, he saw that the demons had picked up a sword from somewhere and were sharpening it on a stone. He was dumbfounded. As a veteran of the Three Rivers Five Schools, Jiang Guang knew what kind of crazy thing it was for a soldier to sharpen a sword. This was the so-called "sharpening a sword until the moon's shadow appears".
"No way, who the hell taught the Demon God this?" Zhang Huang was equally bewildered. He had wondered what the Ruishi version of the Demon God would be like, and even wanted to see it for himself, but the Ruishi version of the Demon God he wanted to see was definitely not like this.
"Something feels wrong here!" Zhao Ying didn't know much about the elite soldiers, but after taking a few steps forward, his battle-hardened intuition told him that the area ahead was extremely dangerous. He then turned around and saw that Jiang Guang and Zhang Huang were standing still and not moving forward, so he quickly retreated.
"Damn, isn't this demon god a bit off?!" Jiang Guang quickly asked Zhang Huang, "What's the maximum enhancement for sharpening the sword?"
"I don't know either. I only know that theoretically, when a swordsman sharpens his sword under the moon, he will eventually wear down his own essence and spirit, and he will turn into a sword. Theoretically, he can forcibly increase his strength, but he will definitely die. But this kind of thing is forging a sword..." Zhang Huang was also a little confused.
The Rogue has many forbidden moves. The "Sharpening the Sword to See the Moon's Shadow" move is not even in the top five among the Rogue's forbidden moves, but that is only for normal Rogues. After all, normal human Rogues do not have that much energy to sharpen their swords. Back then, Liang He only sharpened his sword for two hours before he was worn down and then went straight to Cao Cao's hometown with his sword.
The problem is that with the Demon God's seven hundred years of accumulation, this thing could probably be sharpened for days and nights. Considering that every second of sharpening the sword means subsequent enhancements, if this continues...
"What should we do?" Zhao Ying only realized at this moment that the Rui Shi had this type of forbidden move. "But thinking about it carefully, why does the Rui Shi have so many forbidden moves?"
"Because of its good compatibility. Think about why the Ruishi has good compatibility." Jiang Guang said irritably, "You throw a tank pet up to interrupt the opponent's charge, and then we swarm in and kill them."
"Can this thing be caught and turned into a baby?" Zhao Ying licked his lips and said. It was the first time he had seen Jiang Guang and Zhang Huang working together to hunt down a demon god, and he was surprised to see such a solemn moment.
"It can't be guaranteed that sharpening the sword will greatly enhance one's will. This is a forbidden technique, feeding essence back to the will, refining and sublimating it to achieve a brief burst of power. Theoretically, those who are not afraid of death can use this to advance their will and break through limits." Zhang Huang shook his head and said. He was already mentally prepared to fight a demon god whose will had broken through limits. Even if it wasn't a true breakthrough in will, it would at least be temporary.
"Go, Bashe Beast!" Without saying a word, Zhao Ying took a Demon God Baby Ball from his waist and threw it with great force. Just by looking at the howling sound it made, Zhao Ying's Demon God Baby Ball was enough to kill an ordinary soldier.
The serpent's form shifted in the air, transforming into a shape ninety percent similar to Jiang Guang's. Then, it unleashed its full power, the Heavenly Demon Disintegration, unleashing a surge of wild energy that sent a fiery cone flying from the air in front of it. However, faced with such a terrifying attack, the sword-sharpening demon god merely swung his sword indifferently toward the serpent. In that instant, the bright moon shone above, and the earth was utterly still, but Zhao Ying and the other two felt a sudden white light before their eyes.
The baby Bashe was then sliced in two, but even so, under Zhao Ying's control, the baby Bashe, with its broken body, still launched a strong attack on the opposing Rui Shi Demon God. With one hit, the opposing Rui Shi Demon God was shattered into a quarter.
"Go!" Jiang Guang and Zhang Huang realized what was happening the moment they saw this. Jiang Guang roared and grabbed Zhang Huang's will, slamming it into his door-shaped broadsword. "Take this, Jiang Guang's second-stage Heavenly Demon's full-force attack, enhanced with willpower surpassing even the God-Slaying Strike!"
There were no fancy moves, just a head-on collision. Jiang Guang's terrifying power instantly shattered the demon god's body upon impact. The demon god exploded backward in a fan shape, like a watermelon hit by a bullet. The demon god's god-slaying strike was also shattered head-on by Zhang Huang's will. One strike decided the outcome!
"Suppress it quickly!" Jiang Guang roared at Zhao Ying, then leaped over and kicked away the sword that the demon god had picked up from somewhere. With just one kick, the sword flew several kilometers.
"Damn, this thing is really powerful." At this moment, Zhao Ying was like an octopus, with more than a dozen killing light guns sticking out from all over his body, stabbing into the large chunks of flesh of the surrounding demons, while Jiang Guang sat down on a rock to the side.
Don't be fooled by the fact that that attack just resolved a major problem. Jiang Guang knows his own limitations; with that attack, he had already activated his Heavenly Demonic Aura to nearly the third level.
"Holy crap, Jiang Guang, are you alright?" Zhao Ying said as she frantically drew blood from the demon god, turning around to see blood seeping from many parts of Jiang Guang's body, especially his right arm, which was soaked in blood.
"I won't die, hurry up and heal me in a bit." Jiang Guang said, panting. Facing this thing, Jiang Guang didn't dare to hold back and used all his strength. Fortunately, he was still superior and directly cut the opponent to pieces. Otherwise, if it had really fallen into a melee, it wouldn't have been just a matter of this small injury.
Without saying a word, Zhao Ying extended a beam of willpower and stabbed it directly into Jiang Guang's chest. By absorbing the life essence of the demon god, Jiang Guang's condition quickly improved.
"Wow, this functionality is really impressive." Zhang Huang looked at Zhao Ying with a hint of admiration. Sometimes, these old guys weren't killed on the battlefield, but rather, after taking down their opponents, they were slowly worn down and died because they didn't receive any medical treatment.
"Does Uncle Huang need treatment?" Zhao Ying asked Zhang Huang.
“I don’t need it, I’m not injured.” Zhang Huang shook his head and said, “Your talent development is indeed amazing. You can control it, heal it, and have auxiliary command abilities. Your combat power is also strong, much stronger than we were back then.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying looked at Jiang Guang quite naturally. These words didn't affect him at all; all he wanted to do now was to win against Jiang Guang. What use was functionality?
"There's no need to get entangled with him. That old man's fighting power is truly outrageous. Even I would have a hard time if I encountered him on the battlefield," Zhang Huang said, half-comfortingly, as he immediately understood Zhao Ying's thoughts.
"Jiang Guang, hehehe, I'll tell my sister-in-law when I get back." Zhao Ying chuckled. He felt he had solid evidence. Considering that Jiang Guang was shameless last time, he would definitely be shameless during the blind date as well, after all, that's the kind of person he is.
After struggling for half an hour, Zhao Ying finally killed the Demon God in the Ruishi version. There was no other way; this thing couldn't be used as a pet, so he had to kill it.
"Sigh, if only this thing could be used as a baby, it would be much safer when it emerges." Zhao Ying regretfully fed the Rui Shi baby to her other six babies as experience for upgrading and strengthening them. The next thing to do was to report their plan to Chen Xi.
"We've done very well so far. We've caught the baby. Let's go back to Jiangling and tell Marquis Chen about our plan so we can fill in any gaps," Jiang Guang said with a hint of excitement.
I'm lying in bed, completely unable to get up.
