Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 7235 Breaking Free from Restraint
Since realizing during the Grand Martial Arts Competition that he could capture a demon god through special means and, based on his understanding of Jiang Guang, deeply enhance the demon god to obtain a tank with standard seventh-level combat power, Zhao Ying still values ​​capturing such a rare creature in reality.

Therefore, upon arriving at Yunmengze, they immediately captured a demon god to compensate for their lack of combat power.

Before he had the Demon God Baby, Zhao Ying didn't realize it, but since he got the Demon God Baby, he realized that the Demon God Baby was an important part of his combat strength!

As for the danger of this strange species called the Demon God, it doesn't matter. Zhao Ying has experience as a beast tamer. After all, he trained Shan Zhong, turning him from an ordinary old soldier into an extremely elite, capable fighter who could even act as a bulldozer on the battlefield.

As for danger, Zhao Ying felt that it was really meaningless for ordinary ferocious beasts to be dangerous, especially since he and Jiang Guang lived in the same neighborhood. In any case, as long as they didn't have full human intelligence, even if a beast that had broken through the boundary suddenly appeared and landed in the Zhongshan Wuji neighborhood where Zhao Ying and Jiang Guang lived, they would have plenty of ability to kill it.

Therefore, there is no need to consider the danger; living with him is the greatest danger.

"Uh, where did you get this demon god?" Jing Yuan looked at the demon god that Zhao Ying had dragged over, which had been twisted into a lump, and was quite worried. After all, as a former demon god, Jing Yuan could sense that this demon god captured by Zhao Ying was even stronger than him at his peak.

"It was pulled out of the swamp, which took me some effort, but I've already verified it during the Grand Martial Arts Tournament. As long as I unleash my belief and will, combined with the wild negative effects of the Slaughter Absorption, I can obtain a high-level Shadow Soldier who completely obeys my commands and can also heal everyone!" Zhao Ying looked at the high-level Slaughter Shadow Soldier beside him, which, under the impetus of his will, had begun to strengthen certain meridians, muscles, and bones.

Well, although I don't know exactly what this thing is, it can be twisted according to Jiang Guang's muscle, bone and meridian structure, and fixed by super-fast regeneration, so that this high-level shadow soldier can grow a set of muscle cell structure similar to Jiang Guang's, and then it can open a stage of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration.

The only problem is that even if you make a high-quality imitation of Jiang Guang, the obtained Demon God Jiang Guang Beast will still require the consumption of stored life energy to fully activate the first stage of Heavenly Demon Disintegration. But that's okay, the life energy of the Demon God is extremely vast and will automatically regenerate. Doesn't that just provide an excellent tank and a healing pack?
“This thing can indeed cure diseases, and the treatment method is very powerful,” Jiang Guang added from the side.

“I can’t handle this thing.” Ma Ye said to Zhao Ying as he landed in the sky. “I just flew up to observe and stirred up the air to confirm that this place is full of these things, except for the ones coming out in the northeast direction, which are relatively few.”

"Is this considered treatment?" Jing Yuan looked at Zhao Ying's crimson spear formed from the absorption of killing intent, somewhat speechless. "If this thing is used for treatment, does it need to pass a will test? If you fail, you'll die on the spot, right?"

Jing Yuan wasn't joking. Zhao Ying's treatment method actually relied on killing to absorb the life essence of the demon god and then performing extremely brutal forced treatment. But it must be said that the life essence of the demon god contains a very serious corrosive effect. In addition, Zhao Ying's treatment was actually a direct stab with the willpower light gun. To be honest, a normal veteran would be carried away after being hit by one.

"It's a good treatment method, it works quickly and can save lives, it's very good." Wang Mao commented. "Then let's go northeast. Ke Ke, use White Horse Through the Gap again and see how it goes here? It seems like your White Horse Through the Gap was ruined after only two uses."

"Your forces are too massive, and so is the enemy's. I'm already doing a great job of running around like this," Zheng Ke said helplessly, before activating his elite talent once again.

To be fair, this is also why Zheng Ke, despite possessing such extraordinary talent, still cannot serve as a commander on the battlefield. Talent requires the individual to be able to bear it before it can be activated.

"I'm not cut out for this anyway. If I were seriously injured and used this thing to heal myself, I'd probably die on the spot." Huang Tao looked at Zhao Ying's killing light gun speechlessly. Damn it, who in their right mind would use a move like killing absorption that can kill instantly to heal themselves?

“I can barely hold on now, but if I get injured, one hit will kill me.” Yu Mang looked at Zhao Ying speechlessly. “So if I really get injured, don’t treat me. Let me eat something and recover on my own. Although I don’t have super-fast regeneration, I’m still confident in my recovery ability.”

Yu Mang is from the Yellow Turban Rebellion. What are the characteristics of those who have been through high-level refinement from the Yellow Turban Rebellion? They all have an absorption capacity far exceeding that of ordinary people. Then, relying on this unimaginable absorption capacity, they can drive their self-healing ability. As one of the best among them, there's not much to say about Yu Mang.

"I can't either." Jing Yuan shook his head as well. He could be stabbed to death on the spot, and he couldn't guarantee what would happen if the essence from the demon god entered his former demon god's remains.

"So it's just the five of us who can do it?" Zhang Huang pointed at the three original elite warriors, then looked at Jiang Guang and Zhao Ying. None of the three brothers thought there was anything wrong with using this treatment.

"This way is safe, break through quickly!" Zheng Ke quickly said to the people around him. "If I get injured later, Brother Ma can carry me. Don't let Brother Zhao heal me, I was killed by his healing in the last round!"

"?" Zhao Ying was stunned for a moment, looked at his blood-red light gun, and thought, "Dude, are you guys all this fragile? Can a Willpower Light Gun really kill people?"

Normally, it would be impossible to kill someone who has undergone six levels of refining, but given the current situation, by the time Zhao Ying was treating them, they had already fought a demon god and were half-dead. Zhao Ying then used the demon god's life essence to treat the others. If it weren't for the breaking of the limits of normal willpower, it would be normal for them to die suddenly!

Who in their right mind would use the Willpower Light Gun as a healing item? During the Empire War, if the enemy could even craft one, they would treat it as a top-tier third-talent item.

"Enough talk, send your illusionary soldiers to the front lines." Jiang Guang ordered Zhao Ying. Zhao Ying glanced at Jiang Guang but didn't say anything more. He knew very well when to fight Jiang Guang and when to follow orders.

"Open for me!" Zhao Ying stabbed a Willlight Gun into the newly captured high-level coated illusionary warrior beside him. On the spot, the demon god, who was originally normal, began to grow bones from his body, which quickly formed bone plates. His height and size also increased significantly. In the end, his whole body was completely covered by pale white bones with a metallic sheen, and a thick-backed broadsword the size of a person also extended from his right hand.

Such a terrifying change left Wang Mao and his two companions marveling, while the other five felt their scalps tingle. Damn it, how come they couldn't even defeat the pet Zhao Yingxin had captured—no, how come they couldn't even defeat the high-level coated illusionary warriors Zhao Yingxin had created?

"Next is the final form!" Zhao Ying endured the impact of the demon god's will and condensed a light blade once again. When this thing was formed in Zhao Ying's hand, the three first-generation warriors looked at Zhao Ying with new respect. This thing actually had some of the warriors' unwavering belief.

Zhao Ying pierced Jiang Guangshou's brow with a short-handled light blade. Then, twenty-four points suddenly lit up on Jiang Guangshou's body, a sign that all twenty-four divine bodies had been awakened. Faced with this, Zhao Ying forcefully used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration technique to unleash all of Jiang Guangshou's power.

In that instant, the aura that Jiang Guangshou unleashed sent chills down the spines of the five-person reconnaissance team. They had previously thought they might not be able to defeat Zhao Ying's pet, but now they were absolutely certain that if Zhao Ying's pet really wanted to kill them, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape!
"Not bad," Jiang Guang commented.

"To be honest, he really has a knack for it." Wang Mao nodded.

"It's hard to say, the shortcomings are quite obvious," Zhang Huang said after thinking for a moment.

Zhao Ying didn't say much after hearing this, and directly ordered Jiang Guangshou to lead the charge in the northeast direction, regardless of what pits lay ahead, just charge through them!
"Roar!" Jiang Guangshou roared and charged out like an arrow released from a bow. The huge broadsword in his hand ignored all obstacles in front of him. Relying on pure strength, he directly cut out a pale shockwave, shredding everything in front of him!

The group of ten followed behind Jiang Guangshou and rushed outwards quickly. Ma Ye took to the air to give instructions, while Yu Mang conducted a full 360-degree reconnaissance. The group completely ignored the mud in the swamp and rushed towards the northeast.

"There's something crawling out of the mud up ahead!" Yu Mang shouted. As soon as he said this, a huge vacuum gun came crashing down from the sky towards the location Yu Mang shared.

The demon god, who had barely managed to struggle out of the mud, was directly blasted back into the mud by Ma Ye's vacuum gun, which was equipped with high-frequency vibrations.

To reiterate, Ma Ye's vacuum gun is only so-so in terms of power at a distance of over a hundred feet. But this is a swamp. The high-frequency vibrations that cause the soil to liquefy are enough to make the demon god lose its footing and sink back to the bottom. Although it won't be long before the demon god, whose mind is in a daze, can still climb out of the swamp, by then, the group of people running below will have already broken through the obstruction.

"There's an atmospheric barrier ahead, and it's an attack we can't see!" Zheng Ke suddenly shouted.

"Leave it to me!" Five Yuan Demon Swords flew out of Guang Yuan's body. Each one was powered to the limit by the God-Slaying Sword. The five Yuan Demon Swords were like five streaks of dark light, directly cutting the emerging demon god into six pieces. As for the opponent's attack mode or atmospheric barrier, this was not a sparring match. Top-level warriors who did not hold back their power had no worries about their attacks being insufficient.

What supermodel defense, what atmospheric barrier, what can't be seen? Tell me what to do with my God-Slaying Strike! Let's see if it's you who dies or me!

"The left!" Jing Yuan roared, "It's the Dream Chaser!"

"Screw you! Die!" Zhang Huang raised his sword and slashed to the side, but missed everything. The demon god that had shown its head not far away turned into mud.

Jing Yuan was truly stunned at this moment. The Spirit Rhinoceros Dream Chaser was an attack mode that left no trace. Back then, it was a top-tier talent in their Chu Kingdom. Theoretically, by the time you sensed it, you had already been fatally attacked. But what did he see?
No matter what kind of demons or monsters you are, or what kind of unseen attacks you can't see, try talking to me about my god-like stats that only two people in the entire world have achieved, and see if you can break through that thing!
"Right side!" Huang Tao kicked away the demon god who was attacking from both sides with the help of his combat power. However, his attack power was relatively insufficient. In the instant he shrank back, he turned into a stream of light and passed through the blockade first. Then he shouted loudly to his comrades.

To reiterate, Huang Tao's most reassuring quality is that no matter how dangerous the situation, you don't need to worry about his safety. Apart from the rare talent of Mirror Pursuit that completely counters Huang Tao, he can't beat other things, but he won't get hurt by them either.

"Leave it to me!" Wang Mao, who was rushing forward at high speed, bent down slightly, then accelerated suddenly, entering the most standard thrusting and killing stance of the elite warrior. Then, a flash of light was seen, and the two demon gods who tried to block Wang Mao's group after failing to attack Huang Tao were killed on the spot.

However, unlike Zhang Huang's situation where he directly annihilated his opponent, Wang Mao's attack only severed the two demon gods, failing to instantly obliterate their will.

"This thing is really hard to kill!" Zhao Ying thrust a spear of light directly into the broken body of the demon god, forcibly extracting half of its life energy through slaughter. However, even so, the broken body of the demon god was still alive, only its movements had slowed down considerably.

“Something’s not right. Logically speaking, so many of the demon gods suppressed in Yunmengze shouldn’t have awakened so quickly. Moreover, with such a large-scale awakening, the nearby villages should have already been disturbed, but we didn’t receive any news when we arrived.” Jiang Guang swung his broadsword, unleashing a powerful shockwave that sliced ​​the demon god in two. Then, with his steel boots, he kicked the remaining half to pieces.

“The local militia captains can’t all be useless. If there really is a large-scale escape, there will definitely be news.” Yu Mang replied. As the militia captain of Old Tree Fortress, he was very clear about his responsibilities. If a demon god that even he had a hard time dealing with escaped, the local militia would definitely mobilize manpower to suppress it.

Whether they can win or not is another matter, but they will definitely make a big move. It shouldn't be like when they came without any news. Moreover, when they came, they also met Ma Ye's comrade-in-arms, who was serving as a militia instructor here. If something really happened, he would definitely have mentioned it.

“Then we must have triggered something, otherwise, it shouldn’t be like this!” Ma Ye’s voice also appeared in the sky.

Jing Yuan, Wang Mao, Zhang Huang, Guang Yuan, and even Jiang Guang and Zhao Ying all had a dark expression. As elites who had made records with Wei Wei Ruan Gong, they knew to some extent that they were related to certain things here. But if this was the answer, then it didn't make sense!
"No, it's not your problem, it's the structure that's the problem. When I first came here, that person gave me a piece of knowledge." Huang Tao's answer dispelled their doubts.

"Think quickly, do you have any secret methods in your memory for dealing with these things?" Ma Ye shouted loudly.

“Yes, I understand how that person suppressed the demon gods. It was through command abilities that surpassed the limits of human capabilities that each demon god was forced into a struggle with other demon gods. And now this structure is collapsing.” Huang Tao said loudly, “Although theoretically, such an accident should not have occurred, it must be that a link in the chain collapsed, causing the outer teams to disintegrate.”

Sun Tzu's method, in essence, was to trap the demons in internal strife, with each demon's power restraining the others, and this mutual restraint continued until each demon was unable to break free of these chains.

Just like when one person exerts force, there is definitely a direction. But when tens of thousands of people exert force, although the sum of the force exerted by each person is definitely greater than that of any single individual, if each person exerts force in a different direction, as long as the operation is skillful enough, the forces of these tens of thousands of people can cancel each other out. And Sun Tzu used this method.

In addition, when Sun Tzu suppressed the rebellion, Sun Tzu himself was on the side of power, and he could use dynamic balance to restrain the rebellion. Over the centuries, no problems have arisen.

This is also why Sun Wu told Chen Xi that his absence for a short time wouldn't be a problem, because over the centuries, the Demon Gods had essentially reached a dynamic equilibrium, so even without external forces to balance it, the scales wouldn't collapse in the short term.

However, the problem this time was that a link in the entire structure broke, which caused the outer demons to break free of their restraints. Hundreds of years of suppression meant that these demons, who had just broken free of their restraints, had not fully awakened and were only instinctively attacking the humans around them.

It was precisely because their consciousness was still unclear and they were only in a state of instinct that Wang Mao and the others were able to quickly kill the demon god and break through the demon god's blockade, rushing outwards.

The collapse of one link means that the outer demons have begun to instinctively flee, eat people, don armor, and transform people into their own kind, which is the very instinct of demons.

Even though Sun Tzu's methods prevented the truly dangerous demons from escaping for a short time, Jiang Guang and the others considered the outer demons as a major problem. Despite their individual abilities to deal with demons, they could protect themselves even if they couldn't defeat them.

However, these demons, who possess super-fast regeneration, extremely tenacious vitality, and cannot be killed by conventional means, could each massacre a village for ordinary people!
