Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 7292 So there was a loophole from the very beginning!
"Wait a minute, what do you mean you found a ruin underwater protected by a demon god, and according to your judgment, it's the ruins of a palace?" After Chen Xi used the Oath Seal on the Roman side, he heard that Zou had something to report. After thinking about it, he asked Zou to come over, and then he heard this terrifying thing.

The Binshi Demon God in Yunmeng is just a relatively evil thing in this area. In fact, this place left behind a lot of messy things a thousand years ago, including various fragments of gods and humans. These fragments have weakened a lot over time, but they still have considerable power.

In this situation, if a palace ruin appears, one has to wonder what might be inside. After all, in ancient times, there were houses to live in, and the houses were built very luxuriously. The people who lived in them must have been extraordinary.

Zou briefly explained the situation he encountered underwater. Chen Xi calmed down a bit after hearing this. It wasn't a big problem; it was just that there were many Binshi Demons, and there was probably another Binshi Demon among them, but it might be a rather special one.

At that moment, a bunch of names flashed through Chen Xi's mind, but he naturally deleted them. It didn't matter. He would send someone to check if the person in the pile of ruins could be communicated with. If they could, great; if not, he would wipe them out to avoid trouble.

"Yang Si," Chen Xi called out to someone standing to the side.

Yang Si came running over excitedly. His arm had been reattached, and this time, after cellular-level adjustments, Yang Si's overall condition had returned to its peak. It was virtually impossible for him to be tricked by an eighth-level demon god again.

"Lord Chen." Yang Si bowed to Chen Xi. Zou Ta scratched his head. He and Yang Si had a very good relationship. Because Yang Si didn't love money much, but Zou Ta loved money a lot, when they made money outside, Zou Ta got the lion's share. So Zou Ta and Yang Si had a good relationship.

This time, however, they were fighting a demon god underwater. Zou had some doubts about Yang Si's combat strength. Yang Si, at the sixth level, was indeed quite strong, but that depended on who he was compared to. Compared to Zou, he was definitely a step behind. In addition, Yang Si was almost killed when they encountered that mythical creature last time. Zou was a little wary of bringing Yang Si along when doing such dangerous things.

“After all, it’s underwater combat. Yang Si is much better than you underwater,” Chen Xi said with a smile. Liu Bei had given Chen Xi a list of functional veterans, and Yang Si was on that list. Yang Si’s core combat strength was in the water. Liu Bei assessed that he could take on a seventh-level immortal underwater without any problem.

"Alright then, to be honest, I'm not very good underwater," Zou said after thinking for a moment.

"It's not far over there. We'll have someone bring the ship's cannons over there too. With these fixed-point things, it's best if the other side is willing to talk. If they're unwilling to talk and still want to rebel, then we'll give them a good blast." Chen Xi felt that the main force of the Demon God couldn't be moved at this time, so the main focus should be on clearing out those third parties who were detached from the main force. As for what these third parties thought, it didn't matter. Just take them out.

"Thank you, Lord Chen." Zou bowed and said that he would demolish the underwater ruins in the next two days. Chen Xi nodded and signaled Zou to take care of it as soon as possible.

After Zou Ta left with Yang Si, Chen Xi vaguely heard Zou Ta and Yang Si bickering. Zou Ta said something like, "You're so weak, don't drag me down next time." Yang Si cursed and said that last time he was tricked by the Eightfold Demon God when his hand was just reattached. This time in the water, he would show Yang Si what it meant to go all out. He would punch Yang Si into a puddle.

On the other side, Jiang Guang took a nap and woke up to find that his injuries had mostly healed. After confirming that Zhao Ying was alright, he quickly led Wang Mao and the others back to report.

Then the group saw a cluster of people breaking through their limits of willpower, which left them speechless. The reason why these guys were so strong was that, apart from their basic qualities having a certain advantage in the group of veteran immortals, the rest was all due to their breaking through their limits of willpower.

"So, it means that the limit of willpower can also be created?" Jiang Guang asked with some doubt as he listened to the explanation from the veterans around him.

"It wasn't exactly manufacturing; it was based on a vow given by Marquis Chen, and then borrowed from the future," Hua Shen explained to Jiang Guang after clicking his tongue twice. "How's your mission going?"

"It's alright. Zhao Ying has already infiltrated. Now we just need to see if he can complete the command of the Demon God. If he can, the rest will be easy." Jiang Guang explained simply. These veterans of the fifth and sixth levels all knew what Jiang Guang and his group were doing, since they would still need their cooperation later.

"I'll go report to Lord Chen first, and we'll talk when I get back." After Jiang Guang got a general understanding of how this group of people achieved their breakthrough in willpower, he felt much more at ease. Then he prepared to go and report to Chen Xi, since Chen Xi was currently in the military camp and he didn't need to go to the government office.

When Jiang Guang and his group arrived, Guan Yu and Chen Xi were discussing where to place the ship's cannons. After this encounter, Guan Yu had a clearer understanding of how difficult the demon god was to deal with, so they had to use some unconventional methods.

"Oh, you're back. How's Zhao Ying doing?" Chen Xi nodded and asked as soon as Jiang Guang and his group entered.

"We joined forces to kill that demon god named Gong Jia. Then Zhao Ying used the Killing Absorption technique to cloak the demon god on his own body. Now he is disguised as a large mythical creature, completely concealing his human aura and blending in with the demon gods. He is currently studying how to command these demon gods." Jiang Guang quickly explained what they had done, and Chen Xi nodded upon hearing this.

"Killing the enemy commander is also a viable strategy; it's commendable that you were able to do it." Having fought a large-scale demon god head-on, Guan Yu knew best how difficult this thing was to deal with. Under such circumstances, the fact that Jiang Guang and the others were able to rush in and kill that thing was something Guan Yu had to admire; they were both highly skilled and daring.

"Now all we have to do is wait. Over the next few days, observe the situation there and communicate with Zhao Ying. Once we've confirmed that he can command the Cloud Dream Demon God, we'll have him join forces with the main force of the Demon God, then dismantle the main force and create an opportunity for us to annihilate them," Chen Xi ordered Jiang Guang and his group again. This matter was basically left to them to handle.

"Yes, Lord Chen!" Jiang Guang bowed and then quickly left with the other veterans. After reporting back, they also felt that when it came to awarding merits, it was safest to squat next to the meritorious soldiers.

"Speaking of which, where is Zhou Gongjin? Why hasn't he returned yet after so long?" After Jiang Guang left, Chen Xi chatted with Guan Yu for a few minutes. Seeing that Guan Yu was about to leave the camp to reorganize the army, he immediately changed the subject.

“He must be adjusting the Xuanxiang. The Xuanxiang that Governor Zhou made in this great battle was indeed useful, but the effect was not very good. It lacked a certain specificity. He should be making adjustments. Speaking of which, have you finished numbering the Demon Gods yet?” Guan Yu asked Chen Xi.

"Thanks to Xiaozhi's reconstruction of the Eight Desolate Pillars and Three Rings, all the demon gods have been numbered, which can guarantee that these things won't escape." Chen Xi nodded. Another aspect of this battle is to make all the demon gods activate their own power and then record their aura into the Xuanxiang, so that they can carry out targeted elimination and ensure that the demon gods will not escape from Yunmeng and cause trouble in the area.

"That's good. I have some ideas. We need to build new elite talents for the army to target the characteristics of the Demon God. This will effectively improve the efficiency of killing them." Guan Yu said with a cold face. Although he did not defeat the Cloud Dream Demon God this time, he had figured out many points that he had not paid attention to before. Now it was time to use this new information to construct targeted talents.

“Alright, then I’ll leave it to Second Brother. I’ll urge the rear again to speed up the troop deployment in Yizhou and Yuzhou, and then gather the super-model cloud energy to create as much of a cloud energy difference as possible so that our elite troops can unleash combat power beyond their limits,” Chen Xi said with a serious tone.

At this stage, the Demon God's combat power is indeed superhuman. Even if the Han Dynasty wins using conventional tactics, it will suffer heavy losses. However, if an astonishing difference in cloud energy can be created, allowing the Han Dynasty's combat power to be fully unleashed, then killing the Demon God will be a piece of cake.

"Alright, I'll go and create new elite talents now." Guan Yu nodded and said. Now Guan Yu also realized that what Huangfu Song said back then, after fighting the opponent, discovering the opponent's weaknesses, and then switching his own elite talents to counter the opponent, is truly the best way for the army to fight. The only drawback is that this way of fighting is relatively wasteful of people.

This failure applies not only to generals but also to soldiers. Only the current logistics of the Han Dynasty can keep up. If it were the old logistics, Guan Yu would have to think about how many people would feel uncomfortable and suffer damage due to the impact of Huangfu Song's violent talent switching back then.
However, thinking back to the Han Dynasty, it seems they didn't value human life much. This loss doesn't seem like much as long as they can win!
After watching Guan Yu leave, Chen Xi sighed. He had already seen the fallen soldiers who were carried back. There were more than 170 veterans who had been smelted. It wasn't a matter of compensation, as Chen Xi didn't care about that amount of compensation at all. But just thinking about how so many people had died in the first round just to clean up Sun Wu's mess made Chen Xi really unhappy.

I really want to pull Sun Tzu out of the Ruins and beat him up!

On the other side, after the battle with Guan Yu, the main force of the Yunmeng Demon God retreated and rejoined the demon gods on Gong Jia's side. At this time, Zhao Ying, who was trying to learn how to command the demon gods, noticed this but did not realize that danger was approaching.

When Zhao Ying, playing the role of Gong Jia, was squeezed in the center by a group of demons, she couldn't run away even if she wanted to. However, she had the kind of audacity to say that she had nothing to lose. Moreover, she had prepared herself for the worst when she came, so she could only sigh a couple of times at the sight of this scene: "My great cause was not accomplished before I died!"
Well, thankfully I've already written my will, so there's not much loss. Well, there is still some. Damn Jiang Guang, I haven't defeated you yet at the Wuji Subdistrict Office in Zhongshan!

Indeed, at this moment, Zhao Ying's mind was filled only with frustration at not being able to beat Jiang Guang, not with any resentment that Jiang Guang had devised such a plan and then ruined her life. He was the kind of person who wouldn't shift the blame to others, after all, it was a plan he had approved.

"Roar!" The demon god walking towards them roared twice at the demon god Zhao Ying had transformed into. Zhao Ying couldn't understand this Chu dialect at all. After all, hundreds of years had passed, and local dialects had been unified. As a northerner, he couldn't understand this southern dialect from hundreds of years ago at all.

"Shut up!" Zhao Ying was no pushover either. Besides, things had come to this point, so what was the use of being cowardly? Just fight! The other party yelled at him, and Zhao Ying retaliated with a strike, making the demon god in front of him stagger. This strike disrupted all the operations, and the attacked demon god began to fight back. Then the two sides started fighting.

However, the other demons around who were not disturbed did not react at all, as if they were just watching two idiots fight. They naturally stepped back and moved away. Then, Zhao Ying did not say a word, got into a fighting stance and started fighting. I'm not afraid of you in a one-on-one fight. You think you're Jiang Guang?
With various takedowns and rolls, Zhao Ying quickly secured victory, sticking blood-red straws all over the opposing demon's body, and then sucking them in fiercely, completely disregarding that he was now in a pile of demons. He managed to suck the demon who had dared to roar at him earlier into a mere skin.

Such a brutal scene did not attract the attention of any demons. However, this time, a circle of space appeared around Zhao Ying. Although Zhao Ying did not understand why, as long as he was sure that these demons did not intend to harm him, the plan could continue.

What kind of execution is this? The demon god has naturally distanced himself from Zhao Ying, so what's the point of executing anything? He's not listening to Zhao Ying's commands at all.

Zhao Ying sat among the demons and rested for a while. He realized that he couldn't understand the thoughts of these demons at all. He felt that he needed to study what they wanted to do. So he secretly approached a demon, dragged him to his side, beat him up, and killed another one. However, the other demons did not react at all!
At this moment, Zhao Ying realized, "Damn it, what's the point of the infiltration and command plan? So, a demon god without its own will won't specifically attack other demon gods. If I just play the role of a gluttonous demon god with its own will, wouldn't it be perfectly reasonable to eat a few every day?"
More importantly, even if this theft happens in a group of demons, the other demons won't specifically attack it. In other words, it won't be surrounded. Given enough time, Zhao Ying can kill all the demons on his own!
After deducing this, Zhao Ying felt it necessary to conduct a more accurate verification. So she secretly dragged away another mindless demon god. The demon god that Zhao Ying dragged out from the group of demon gods did not react at all before Zhao Ying attacked it. It was as if it was waiting for Zhao Ying to devour it.

Since that's the case, what else is there to say? Of course, we'll just have to test it out in the pile of demons!

Focus your power, then unleash the killing light gun to strike, completely crippling most of his combat strength in one blow. All that's left is to sip milk tea through a straw!

An hour later, the demon god was completely absorbed by Zhao Ying and turned to ashes, while the surrounding demon gods didn't react at all. This is what you call a human-machine interface!

"Damn, so there's such a loophole! No wonder Sun Tzu said he had already dealt with the demon gods, and that the demon gods that appeared basically had no self-awareness. So he was telling us to take advantage of this loophole!" Zhao Ying felt hot all over from absorbing the life essence, and he couldn't hold back any longer inside the demon god's body. The fact that the demon gods wouldn't attack other demon gods on their own was really great!

Nothing else to say, a bunch of high-level demon gods should be online tomorrow.

What's with all this talk of commands? Starting tomorrow, I'll be a high-level demon god evolving by absorbing lower-level demon gods. I'm going to find my high-level demon god buddies now.

After absorbing the life force of three demon gods without taking any damage, Zhao Ying was really stuffed. There was no way around it; life force absorption wasn't something he could do like that. In the past, when he used the killing absorption method, it was basically for major battles, where he would get injured and need to heal himself, and he would also need to heal that idiot Jiang Guang.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Jiang Guang seems to be able to use the second stage of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique normally. In reality, even when he fully activates the second stage, it puts a lot of pressure on him. So every time Jiang Guang activates the second stage, Zhao Ying has to search everywhere for life force to heal him.

Thinking about this, Zhao Ying, whose mind was now clear, felt that she was somewhat like an emergency doctor. Although she could only save a few people as an emergency doctor, wouldn't you say that's how it is?

With this in mind, Zhao Ying, who had cleared a space around her, slowly began to move towards the outer edge. The surrounding demons did not stop her and let her walk out. Soon, Zhao Ying became a solitary demon.

At the same time, the commander of the demon team felt that the super demon had been excluded from the team, and stopped paying attention to the super demon who had left. The team was back to his own!
As for the fact that the other party ate three cookies before leaving, self-devouring between demons is a very normal occurrence. The only pity is that this slightly awakened demon actually ate his own avatar, but there's nothing that can be done about it. So be it.

Anyway, once he gets rid of this thing, his team will be pure again.

However, in reality...

"Zhao Ying, why did you run out?" Qi Xiu, who was observing from under the tree, asked with some curiosity when she saw Zhao Ying running over.

"I've discovered a loophole, a loophole that's always existed, but we haven't paid attention to it." Zhao Ying said excitedly, half of her body sticking out from inside the Demon God, and then tossed her Demon God Orb to Qi Xiu. "Brother Qi, put this baby dragon on, and I'll take you to see it. It's really interesting!"

What do you mean by demons without self-awareness? You are all like that!
