Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 7237 Spread
Within the Yunmeng Marsh, Huang Tao transformed into a beam of light and shot straight northward. To him, Chang'an was only a thousand miles away; at full speed, he could arrive in just half an hour.

The current situation in Yunmeng is so serious that it is beyond the ability of Huang Tao and his group to handle. Therefore, it is necessary to first meet up with Sun Qian, inform him of the situation in Yunmeng, urge him to speed up the process, and then head to Chang'an to let the truly capable person in charge of handling the Yunmeng matter take action.

As a top veteran who had actually seen the Demon God and had some understanding of such things, Huang Tao knew exactly what kind of performance tens of thousands of these things would have when they were released. Therefore, he had to send the message to Marquis Chen before the current situation collapsed.

Because of the curse of the world's consciousness, humanity's luck has been quite bad recently. Zhang Wen's ability to lure Bai Xi, who serves as a node, away as a big fish already illustrates a lot. And the three people in the rear who wanted to notify them as quickly as possible have also encountered their own opponents.

"This is really bad." Zheng Ke looked at the demon god that he had dodged twice in the future and was bound to encounter no matter what. In his reality, he had taken a different path and still encountered it. He knew that this thing was probably an opponent he could not avoid.

Unlike Huang Tao's incarnation talent, where his mobility isn't purely speed, Zheng Ke's speed is a pure physical effect, meaning it involves wind resistance. This is why Zheng Ke can barely keep up with Huang Tao in short distances, but not in long distances.

In reality, Ma Ye could keep up in short distances, but as long as it's pure speed based on real physics, wind resistance and the sound barrier are unavoidable. Breaking through these two things requires a lot of physical strength, so while he can manage a short burst of speed, meaning he can cruise at supersonic speed for ten minutes without much problem, under normal combat conditions, one hundred meters per second is still relatively realistic, and it's far from Huang Tao's normal supersonic speed.

"What the hell is that thing?" Ma Ye's expression turned extremely ugly as he looked at the creature that resembled an Yinglong that flapped its wings and flew out of the swamp. His combat strength was not weak, but the pressure released by the other party seemed to be even more astonishing.

"Brother, go and block him!" Huang Tao sensed the sharp aura behind him and, without thinking, pulled out a Tribulation Reincarnation Substitute from his body and threw it behind him without looking back. It's just a life, right? He was worried about danger when he came, so he specially prepared two Tribulation Reincarnation Substitutes. This is just the right time to use them!
"Damn it, the real body, holy crap!" Huang Tao, who came from the past timeline, turned pale when he saw the demon god leap out of the swamp. This was not something he could handle!

However, saying such things was useless. Huang Tao from the past also knew that he had an important responsibility and could not linger here. So after cursing, he grabbed the broadsword left behind by his original body and slashed directly at the demon god!

I, Huang Tao, am a seventh-level forged warrior and one of the world's top thirty veterans. Do you think I'm just an ordinary scout? Today, I'll show you my strength!

At this moment, Huang Tao deactivated his Avatar talent state and directly entered the Godspeed state. His supersonic slash, accompanied by a sonic boom, created a huge mushroom-shaped cavity between the Demon God and Huang Tao, and some sparks appeared. With just one straight thrust, the Demon God's front was like being hit by an iron hammer, suddenly denting and cracking!

Even so, the demon god still roared and swung his enormous right arm, which was completely disproportionate to his body size, at Huang Tao. The terrifying force shattered the atmosphere and, relying on the super strong binding force of his force field talent, directly formed a ring-shaped air cannon.

In the next instant, Huang Tao was like an ant swept away by a stream of water, retreating more than ten meters in the direction the air cannon was spreading.

The moment he landed, Huang Tao turned and ran without a second thought. What kind of dignified seventh-level forging expert was he, one of the world's top thirty veterans? He was outta here; he really couldn't beat this guy.

However, Huang Tao was not injured. Even though the air cannon was accelerated to supersonic speed, Huang Tao was able to escape the core area at a speed exceeding that of the air cannon the moment he sensed the airflow. Although the residual power was still terrifying, Huang Tao was still a seventh-level fusion cultivator and had some basic qualities.

"Roar!" The demon god chasing Huang Tao probably never expected Huang Tao to be so shameless. After seeing the other party turn around and run away, he immediately roared and chased after him, but unfortunately, he got further and further away.

At the same time, Huang Tao's main body burst out of Yunmeng Marsh and headed straight north.

"How exactly do I kill this thing?" Zheng Ke looked at the demon god, which he had forcibly dismembered, but which could be resurrected in no time thanks to its super-fast regeneration, and felt extremely troubled.

Zheng Ke's strength is reliable, especially since the Demon God is currently without weapons or equipment. Facing a top-tier veteran like Zheng Ke, who is basically equipped with divine gear from head to toe, it would be difficult for him to win, even with some restraint. The problem is that the Demon God's vitality is simply too exaggerated.

"Forget it, I'll just carry this thing and leave. This should be the head!" Zheng Ke kicked the remains of the demon god away as much as he could, then grabbed what was probably the head and continued running outside. But before he had run a short distance, he discovered that the head he had brought with him was growing back into his body.

This scene sent chills down Zheng Ke's spine; the vitality of this creature was simply too tenacious.

Nonsense, how could he not be tenacious? Even a god like Wei Jun spent three days and three nights grinding down the demon god. This is a ruthless person who can actually fire a vacuum gun, yet it took him three days to finally kill the demon god.

With Zheng Ke's fighting style of simply cutting the demon into eight pieces, even if Zheng Ke were to exhaust himself, he probably still wouldn't be able to kill the demon god. Without the power of a normal will to break through limits, the only way to kill it is to wear it down.

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?" Ma Ye looked at Yinglong with a terrible headache. Yinglong's head had been cut off by the plasma arc he had created with his vacuum gun, but it was still chasing him and trying to grow a new head. Ma Ye was extremely annoyed.

Compared to Huang Tao and Zheng Ke, Ma Ye possesses extremely strong killing ability. The plasma arc cuts generated by the vacuum gun's explosions are enough to directly kill veterans of the same level. It's the kind of thing that basically kills anyone who gets hit. However, the Demon God withstood this attack and regenerated at super speed.

As a result, Ma Ye was caught somewhat off guard. What's worse, the vacuum gun that Ma Ye usually uses is completely useless against this thing that is covered in scales, has an extremely thick membrane, and has airflow vibrations around it. If it were a human, Ma Ye could slowly wear it down, but against a demon god with moderate super-fast regeneration, to be honest, even if you wear Ma Ye down to death, it wouldn't make a difference.

Realizing that the opponent's defensive structure was similar to that of Su Zong, and that the vacuum gun was ineffective, Ma Ye decisively used plasma arc cutting, and successfully struck a blow, directly knocking off Ying Long's head along his long neck.

But it didn't work!
"This is bad, we have no choice but to retreat." Ma Ye combined his elite talent with the snow eagle's elite talent, pushing the speed to the limit and adjusting the airflow control more precisely to form an outer force field that better conformed to the aerodynamic form. He pushed the speed to the limit and withstood the killing shock wave released by the demon god in the form of Yinglong, and broke through to the north.

There's not much to say. Everyone relies on manipulating airflow as their core talent. If you have medium-speed regeneration, I can't kill you instantly. Even if I blow your head off, you can grow another one. I can't even pinpoint the location of your core talent, so I can only reduce my output, tank the damage, and run away.

Seeing Ma Ye speed up his escape, Yinglong didn't hold back either. As it flapped its wings, the structure of its feathers changed rapidly. Powerful airflow shot out from the hollow channels of its feathers, and the pterosaur-type demon god, whose size was even more exaggerated than Ma Ye's, forcibly accelerated and broke the sound barrier in two breaths.

"Holy shit!" Ma Ye was dumbfounded. This wasn't Huang Tao's cheating talent transformation form; it was real physical acceleration. This nearly ton-weight thing reached supersonic speed in two breaths. Once it charged over and engaged Ma Ye in close combat, with its current speed and impact, Ma Ye felt that if he took a hit, he would be crippled!

However, at this point, Ma Ye, who had already entered an accelerated state, could no longer perform any maneuvers or risk his life against Yinglong behind him. Of course, Yinglong Demon God could not launch any attacks either. At the current speed of both sides, to be honest, the power that a single spear could unleash was greater than that of a conventional finishing move.

Since both sides are currently at six or seven times the speed of sound in a short burst state, although they cannot maintain this speed for long, their speed and size are honestly quite terrifying!

On the outskirts of Yunmeng Marsh, Wei Jun and Wu Yu, two old guys, were using their shockwave talents to search for large cordyceps.

"Old Wei, are you sure there's some Cordyceps sinensis here that you're talking about, a rare and precious herb?" Wu Yu released another wave of his Shock Talent, but he couldn't find the kind of Wood Demon that Wei Jun had described, which was about the size of a human but had great medicinal value.

"I encountered it while wandering around here before, so after participating in the Grand Martial Arts Competition, I rushed over to find it. The Wood Demon Heart that I gave to the Grand Commandant before was mostly consumed by me. I'll be more careful this time and at least get a complete one. If I catch it, you can dissect it alive!" Wei Jun also released a wave of shock and then casually explained.

"Alright, are you sure there's something like this here?" Wu Yu asked a couple more questions.

"I spent a few years in Chu, and I heard a lot of supernatural things from the locals. I also encountered quite a few outrageous things. When I finally returned to Chang'an, I caught a treasure, but afterwards I thought about the so-called wooden demon, and it seems to be similar to the human-shaped treasure medicine that the villages here are talking about. I was just taking a chance, since you don't have anything to do anyway," Wei Jun said nonchalantly.

"Uh, Lao Wei, you're a wanderer, you can go anywhere, but I'm the cavalry instructor of Youzhou. I only have forty days of leave, and I only got them after applying for them. It's been more than ten days now, and I haven't found a single thing," Wu Yu said with a somewhat depressed expression.

“You’re doomed if you don’t use your leave. Let’s look for it first. There should be some here!” Wei Jun said casually, then raised his hand and unleashed a shockwave. With this shockwave, Wei Jun and Wu Yu both stood still and fell silent.

"It seems we've found it," Wei Jun said after a moment of silence.

"So cordyceps can really grow to the size of a person?" Wu Yu said with some shock.

"Uh, what's that?" Just as Wei Jun was about to make a move, he caught a glimpse of two small dots rapidly enlarging in the sky.

"It looks like Brother Ma." Wu Yu looked in the direction Wei Jun was looking.

"You saw it all, why aren't you dodging!" Wei Jun roared, his feet trembling violently as he dodged to the right like a missile, while Wu Yu did the same, dodging to the left.

The instant the two jumped out, a large cloud of mud rose from where they had been standing, splashing out in all directions.

In the final moment, Xue Diao and Ma Ye separated. Xue Diao successfully flew away, while Ma Ye, enveloped in a large gust of air, slammed heavily onto the ground. Fortunately, in the last moment of escape, Wu Yu and Wei Jun both launched a strong shockwave towards the ground, instantly liquefying the soil.

"Pah, pah, pah, Ma Ye, are you alright?" Wu Yu yelled at the thing in the center of the mud that was completely covered in mud and could not even be seen.

The airflow blasted away all the mud, and Ma Ye appeared in front of Wu Yu, looking slightly disheveled, just about to thank his two older brothers.

"Damn, where did you get this beast from!" Wei Jun's excited voice came over. Compared to Wu Yu, who was just coasting along, and Ma Ye, who knew how difficult the thing behind them was to deal with, Wei Jun's first reaction when he saw the winged, slender Yinglong Demon God was that this mount should belong to him, and then he rushed up!
After all, Ma Ye already has a snow eagle that has devoured the aliens and acquired the wisdom of the demon master. He has no need for this kind of stupid-looking alien beast. So let Lao Wei enjoy this kind of thing. It just so happens that he, a wanderer of the world, needs an alien beast that can fly!

"Brother Wei, be careful!" Ma Ye turned around and saw Wei Jun rushing forward without caring what the other party was. He was dumbfounded, especially when Wei Jun rushed forward and, fearing that his finishing move would injure Yinglong Demon God, even stuck his spear in the ground, preparing to capture it with his bare hands. When Yinglong Demon God slapped him and sent him flying, Ma Ye was stunned.

Wei Jun, who had been thrown sideways, scrambled to his feet in a daze. To be honest, it was only thanks to eating the heart of a Wood Demon that Wei Jun became almost ten years younger and was right at his peak. Otherwise, with his old arms and legs from the previous two years, Wei Jun would have needed a couple of moments to catch his breath before he could get up.

"Is this thing really that powerful?" Wei Jun was a little stunned. He had never imagined that a mount could be so powerful. And if he wasn't mistaken, he had used his talent earlier. If Wei Jun hadn't also been very proficient in airflow manipulation, the shockwave stirred up by the Yinglong Demon God would have been enough to injure him.

"Is the Demon Master's wisdom so strong that it allows wild beasts to unlock their talents?" Wu Yu was also a little confused; this thing was so powerful that it really exceeded his expectations.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and kill this thing with me!" Ma Ye charged forward with his spear. Although Wu Yu didn't understand what was going on, he didn't object to Ma Ye's decision to kill the thing. As a human supremacist, Wu Yu's first reaction upon seeing a beast that could use its talents was to kill it!

Then, Ma Ye unleashed a plasma arc slash that shattered Yinglong Demon God's head once again. As mentioned before, there's no way to dodge Ma Ye's attacks normally; his speed is simply too fast. Given Yinglong Demon God's size, there's no way to avoid it.

However, losing his head isn't a big problem; he can still fight. But losing his head isn't aesthetically pleasing, and Wei Jun's dream of riding a mount is shattered. He can only come here with a spear to fight the demon god.

The three powerful figures attacked together and quickly shattered the Yinglong Demon God into pieces. All three possessed unique destructive slashing abilities, and with the powerful air compression and expansion, as well as the trembling and cutting of the gun blades, the Yinglong Demon God had virtually no chance of resistance and was sliced ​​into pieces.

There was no way around it; the strongest defensive structure of the Yinglong Demon God was useless against these three. Atmospheric defenses were of no use to three vacuum gun masters; they were simply torn apart!
"What the hell is this thing? Why does it not seem completely dead? Are demon masters this outrageous now? Is this some kind of immortal talent?" Wu Yu condensed a series of qi needles to pin the remains of the Yinglong Demon God to the ground, preventing these remains from reassembling and reviving.

"Why does it look somewhat like the wooden demon I killed? Especially its vitality," Wei Jun asked curiously, shoving through the large pieces of the demon's corpse with his spear.

"Next, I'll trouble you two to pack up. I need to inform Li He and the others as soon as possible to come and guard the outer perimeter of Yunmengze to prevent trouble from inside Yunmengze from breaking out. Also, if you're not busy, try to provide support here. Jiang Guang and the others are still in Yunmeng." Ma Ye didn't know how to explain what this was, so he simply said that he had military duties to attend to.

"Alright, you go ahead then. We're actually here to catch the Wood Demon." Wei Jun waved his hand, indicating that Ma Ye could go do his own thing.

"Wooden Demon?" Ma Ye was a little surprised, but considering his military duties, he didn't have time to chat with these two old men. He whistled to summon the snow eagle and then quickly flew away.

"Old Wei, what are you doing?" After watching Ma Ye leave, Wu Yu looked at Wei Jun, who was still fiddling with things, and asked him curiously.

“I feel like this Yinglong is somewhat similar to the wood demon I caught back then.” Wei Jun frowned. Although they are very different, they are very similar to me.

"How do you feel it?" Wu Yu turned his head to look at Wei Jun.

"Yeah, that's the feeling, but they look completely different," Wei Jun said hesitantly.

“That’s normal. Not all cordyceps are the same. I’ve seen other types.” Wu Yu noticed Wei Jun’s hesitation and shared his knowledge.

"Why don't we try baking this?" Wei Jun suggested after a moment's thought.

"Can this even be cooked?" Wu Yu looked at the large chunks of flesh that were still struggling and said with a strange expression, feeling that Wei Jun seemed to be able to eat anything.

“Grilling it just proves we know how to cook it; we’ll treat it raw as sashimi!” Wei Jun said confidently.

　It's almost the end of the month, please cast some votes! The author is probably doomed, really.
