However, the biggest problem is time. Sun Qian has many workers under his command who have reached the sixth level of forging, so the difficulty of fighting a demon god one-on-one is not actually that great. After all, even if most demon gods have escaped from the seal left by Sun Wu, their self-awareness is still in a chaotic state, and they fight mainly based on instinct.
Therefore, most level six demons, as long as their actual combat skills are not too bad, can defeat level seven demons without much difficulty.
But the demon god's vitality was too tenacious.
The demon that Dong Zhe and An Ling encountered before took a long time to fight. They beat the demon into a pulp, but it kept regenerating. In the end, they had to call seven or eight people and use all sorts of methods to wear it down from noon until the moon was high in the sky before they finally managed to kill it.
There's nothing we can do; this is what happens when you don't have a strong will to attack.
"The core issue is that the Demon God possesses super-fast regeneration capabilities, which means that conventional physical attacks are ineffective. As for attacks of will, ordinary will piercing and penetrating attacks are actually not capable of killing the Demon God. Even if the Demon God's will is exposed, it is still difficult to kill it. To directly annihilate it, one can only rely on breaking through the limits of will." Sun Qian sat cross-legged and said with some distress.
“Without the willpower to break through limits, forcing it will take too long,” Dong Zhe nodded and said.
“The problems faced by naval cannons are the same, so the ‘Severed Heaven and Earth Connection’ is definitely necessary. Only with this can we delay the efficiency of the Demon God’s super-fast regeneration.” Sun Qian briefly explained the basic logic of configuring these things, which was also a way to ask Dong Zhe for help in finding a solution.
"Using poison?" Dong Zhe asked with some curiosity.
“We’ve already prepared many types of poisons, but the effects aren’t very good. Poisons that are effective against the Demon God are also effective against us. I saw the urgent documents from Chang’an; so far, the only effective poisons are biological, which are very dangerous,” Sun Qian said with a grave expression.
So-called biological poisons are, to put it bluntly, viruses. Both Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were worried that these things would get out of control.
"Uh, I remember that Xuanxiang has many abilities, so why can't it produce the effect of slowing down time perception?" Dong Zhe asked with a hint of curiosity.
"You mean to make the demon god slow down its sense of time, thus reducing its self-recovery speed?" Sun Qian seemed to be asking a question, but in reality, he had already given an answer.
"Is that not allowed?" Dong Zhe asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Even if a demon god loses its self-awareness, it will repair itself as long as its life instinct remains. Zhang Huang has tried to directly erase the demon god's will, but a demon god that has lost its self-awareness will not die; instead, it continues to wander and fight. It seems that a demon god does not need a self,” Sun Qian said with a sigh.
To save trouble, Zhang Huang had previously used his will to leave his body and went into the demon horde to kill indiscriminately, destroying the self-will of many demons. However, unlike humans who die when their self-will disappears, demons still follow their instincts even after losing their self-will.
To put it more directly, the demon god's own will was sealed by Sun Tzu, and now his actions are all instinctive, which means he has to destroy his own will, so it won't have much of an impact.
"We even suspect that the Demon God's current regenerative abilities are actually the result of Sun Tzu's contingency plan, otherwise it might have recovered even faster." Sun Qian said with a hint of weariness, "It just goes to show that there were really few normal people and many gods in the Spring and Autumn Period!"
"Oh, I see. Then I'll go back to grinding the ashes." Dong Zhe was speechless upon hearing this. So, the demon god's own will has been severed now!
"Brother Dong, how is it?" Anling ran over to ask as soon as Dong Zhe came out.
"No, what we're thinking of has already been thought of by Sun Tou," Dong Zhe said helplessly.
"Then let's continue shoveling ash," Anling said nonchalantly.
"Have you mastered your finishing move yet? If not, I'll take you to catch a couple more demons to practice in a couple of days." Dong Zhe naturally changed the subject.
"I'll practice some more. Once I'm skilled enough, I'll go train with the Demon God. I've never encountered anything so resilient before," Anling said with a touch of emotion.
"Hey, let me tell you, the more dust you collect, the more strange things you'll see. Last time we dug something similar out of the Bashu region, it was half a winged human, and it was incredibly tough." Dong Zhe said that even demon gods were like that, they had plenty of experience beating them up, after all, the winged humans of the ancient Shu Kingdom were even tougher.
To be fair, the half-feathered man was indeed more durable. Sun Qian's fighting cock team, with more than a dozen level six fighters surrounding him and using various control skills, fought for a whole day before finally killing the feathered man.
When Sun Qian came over, he said that the cockfighting was really fierce today. In fact, it was not a cock, but a half-feathered man.
"Hey, Brother Dong, have you seen any other strange beasts?" An Ling asked curiously, following behind Dong Zhe.
“I’ve seen quite a few, but we just called them by random names. Some of the local elders recognized them, saying they were called things like ‘Jiaoguo’ or ‘Yufu’. Oh, right, the most powerful one was Jinwu. Holy crap, that one was incredibly fierce. Back then, my cockfighting team thought it was a cock that the other side had brought over to ambush us, and it tore our cock apart in two moves,” Dong Zhe said with a touch of nostalgia.
The fighting roosters created by this group are outrageous. Occasionally, they can create phoenix effects by using the brilliance overlay, which is normal. So, let alone the Golden Crow, even if they created a four-legged chicken with light and shadow textures, it would be perfectly reasonable.
So when they saw a golden crow flying towards them, the group of people had no doubts and immediately sent their roosters flying up, only to be torn to pieces on the spot.
"Uh, what happened next?" Anling asked with some curiosity.
"Of course, we'd swarm them and kill their fighting cocks..." Dong Zhe said with a smile.
The victorious fighting rooster will live? What a joke! Of course it will die!
The winner takes the victory, the loser just gets a chicken dinner! No big deal!
The mighty Three-Legged Golden Crow was killed by this group of people. To be fair, as a strange beast, that thing had the strength of a Qi-transcending level, and as a mythical species, it also had some special innate abilities, but they were useless. With a team of six-fold forging and the suppression of the main force of the Ash-Slaying Army, let alone Qi-transcending, even if it broke through the boundary, it would perish there.
As for why people wear armor to cockfight, look at the cockfighting competition. The cockfighting cocks use god-slaying, crushing blows, and even sky-splitting moves. Aren't you afraid if you don't wear armor?
Therefore, it is necessary to wear armor when cockfighting. After all, when cockfighting, if the opponent's rooster attacks our teammate and renders the teammate unable to fight, it is a reasonable way to win, right?
“But I always had a feeling that those demon gods were slow to react,” An Ling said with a hint of reminiscence as he followed Dong Zhe.
"It's normal. It's been buried for hundreds of years, and we don't know which Chu king's tomb it crawled out of. It's normal for it to be a little slow." Dong Zhe had his own unique way of understanding this.
"Old Dong, come hunting with me. We've found an old soldier who can locate scattered demons. Come hunting with me." Tao Tong greeted Dong Zhe as he led his team past.
"I advise you to be more careful. The way Old Wei obtained the position of the Demon God is dangerous. Didn't you see Wei Jun being carried back before?" Dong Zhe warned Tao Tong. "If we're talking about survivability, you might not be much better than Wei Jun. Be careful."
"We saw them, but we'll take care of them one by one. If these things really faced our young soldiers, they'd be suicide missions. When I was in the military training, I thought they were some kind of test, but when I got back to my hometown, they were everywhere," Tao Tong sighed.
"Then be careful." Dong Zhe nodded to Tao Tong, completely understanding Tao Tong's anxiety. After all, they were not locals, while Tao Tong was a local, the Commandant of Jiangling, and the military instructor of Jingzhou. Everything he owned was here. If the demon god conquered this place, Tao Tong would really have no face to see his fellow villagers.
"No, Lao Dong, what I mean is, can you lend me a few of the six-fold ones who don't have any problems here?" Tao Tong spoke the truth. After fighting with the demon god twice in the past two days, Tao Tong had realized a very upsetting reality: the demon god of Yunmeng was even more difficult to deal with than the demon god of the Grand Martial Arts Test!
The demon god in the Grand Martial Arts Test was quite difficult to deal with, but it seemed that its regenerative ability had been weakened. As for the demon god in Yunmeng, the armorless demon god that Tao Tong encountered the day before yesterday, he beat it hard for a whole day, and Tao Tong himself even suffered some internal injuries before he finally killed that thing.
What's worse is that the demon god is in human form and even has armor, armor of the same level as that of the Han Dynasty. Tao Tong encountered such a thing yesterday, and in the end, he only managed to capture it alive with the help of seven or eight brothers. There was no way to kill it.
With the armor protecting the core area of the demon god, Tao Tong smashed the demon god's limbs and head into a pulp. However, in the end, the demon god simply stopped growing its head and regenerated entirely within the armor's protective area. This forced Dong Zhe to drag it back and then throw the demon god and its armor into the steel furnace to be refined.
Tao Tong was dumbfounded by its survivability. Could this be something that could be dealt with by five levels of refining?
What a load of rubbish! You think you're Jiang Bei?
Let's not even talk about the demon god's sneak attack. If it's a head-on fight, the Fivefold Forging can suppress the initial burst of power, but after a while, the burst power can't keep up, and the Fivefold Forging will definitely die.
Considering that there are no more than thirty people in Jingxiang who have reached the fifth level of fusion, and even fewer who have reached the sixth level of fusion, since some of them went to the Ganges, the remaining few are not even enough to satisfy the Demon God's hunger, Tao Tong felt that he really needed to find reinforcements after fighting for two days.
“We all have important matters to attend to here; we need to build a battlefield,” Dong Zhe shook his head and refused.
“Anling should be fine, right? As for Pingdi, I can find some people to replace him and have him come with me to exterminate the demon gods. Brother Qing said that two demon gods have broken away over there, and I really can’t handle them by myself.” Tao Tong said helplessly, “Lend me someone, brother.”
"Alright..." Dong Zhe looked at An Ling, who was eager to try. He could clearly sense that An Ling wanted to go. After all, he was still young and had a strong fighting spirit. Even though he was disheartened by the situation in Ganges some time ago, after half a year of peaceful and mutually supportive life, he returned to normal.
"Anling, are you going?" Dong Zhe asked, turning his head.
Anling chuckled dryly, then decisively slipped away to Tao Tong's side.
“Then I’ll take him to wipe out those scattered demon gods,” Tao Tong said with a smile. “You can take care of these young people for now; they all have field-type talents, which are a good match for you.”
Dong Zhe pursed his lips. He realized that he and Tao Tong had actually fought on the battlefield together. Otherwise, with this kind of behavior of poaching his own people and putting others in his lap as his nanny, he would have been kicked out long ago.
"Let's go, let's hurry and take down those two demon gods." Tao Tong led An Ling directly towards the location that Qing Mang had predicted the two demon gods might appear.
“Speaking of which, Brother Tao, I have a question. How exactly do Brother Wei and Uncle Qing determine where scattered demon gods will appear? Our current reconnaissance system hasn’t been established yet, has it?” An Ling asked as he ran eastward with Tao Tong.
"Someone first used the Shockwave talent to conduct a large-scale reconnaissance, and then the two of them used the Heaven and Earth Cooperation to confirm it. To put it bluntly, they relied on their intuition to make the decision, so there were occasional inaccuracies, but overall, it wasn't a big problem," Tao Tong explained casually.
“Didn’t the Heaven and Earth Cooperation encounter a problem?” Anling asked, somewhat puzzled. “Besides, I also fused the Vibration Talent. There are many obstacles on Yunmeng’s side. In addition, the Demon God itself will absorb the low-frequency vibrations I release, which means that even if I release vibrations, I cannot obtain information.”
"Your shock talent..." Tao Tong was silent for a while. He didn't know what the Heaven and Earth Cooperation was, but he understood An Ling's shock talent. It was just so-so. It was okay for fighting, but An Ling himself didn't understand how to use it for reconnaissance.
"Alright, I'll find someone for you to study with later. The Kou family is currently in Changsha for ancestral worship, and many of their guards are very skilled in shock reconnaissance. I'll find two of them for you, and you'll understand once you learn how." Tao Tong felt he wasn't quite sure how to explain to An Ling how the shock talent could be used for reconnaissance, but he did have some knowledge of the different ways to use it. "Actually, you can also learn from Wei Jun and Wu Yu; their version will do too."
"I see." Anling didn't doubt it. After all, even though they were both at the sixth level, there was a difference in strength. Especially for a god like Wei Jun, if we're talking about those who didn't advance to the seventh level because they didn't catch up with a good era, Wei Jun was definitely one of them.
"By the way, when we encounter those two demon gods, your main role is to hold them back. Once I've destroyed one, you use shockwaves and force fields to wear it down and prevent it from regenerating. Leave the rest to me." Tao Tong explained the battle plan simply.
As a top-tier strongman with a classic physique, Tao Tong may not have the ability to kill the demon god, but he is absolutely confident that he can destroy it. As long as the demon god goes head-to-head with him, the demon god will definitely lose. With a burst of energy, Tao Tong can send the demon god flying. The demon god's classic head-on collision routine is just a joke to Tao Tong.
Do you understand the "Hundred-Ton King Descending the Mountain"? The combination of talents like Adaptive Force, Burst Speed, Charge Defense, Swiftness, and Muscle Defense creates a frontal collision capability that makes Tao Tong a true battlefield bulldozer.
For Tao Tong, the most troublesome thing about the demon gods was their super-fast regeneration. If that were removed, Tao Tong would be confident in facing multiple demon gods. After all, he had taken muscle-building and bone-strengthening injections, consumed Xu Chu's share of saffron medicine, and was wearing full 520 armor with his tungsten steel gauntlets tightly gripped. If they collided head-on, it would be enough to smash the demon gods to pieces.
It could be said that without the super-speed regeneration, this move would have already ended the battle. But with the super-speed regeneration, Tao Tong's all-out attack was just a matter of the demon god catching his breath. This is why Tao Tong couldn't fight two demon gods. No, to be precise, this is why top experts, led by Zhao Ying, couldn't fight two demon gods at the same time.
They can defeat it, but not kill it. They can wear it down. If it's just one demon god, this group can rely on their endurance and stamina to grind it to pieces and gradually kill it. But if it's two, they really can't do it. Sooner or later, they might run out of stamina and be worn down to death by the two demon gods.
"It should be those two." Anling sensed two figures through the vibrations within the cold mist of Yunmeng, pointed in the direction, and asked.
"I'll go first." Tao Tong made a movement, crouched down and jogged, then saw two stone-carved demons standing in place wearing armor, and Tao Tong's expression became much more serious.
But the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. Tao Tong took a deep breath and charged straight at the demon with the most ferocious force. The terrifying impact deformed Tao Tong's shoulder armor and caused a clearly visible concave shape to appear on the demon's breastplate. Various sauces then splattered out from all parts of the armor, but the demon did not retreat an inch.
This is a technique that Tao Tong learned from someone. When he bumps into someone, he doesn't take them away, but uses a special method to make them suffer full damage. Of course, such an impact also hurts Tao Tong a lot, but he can't worry about that now. If he doesn't deal with one of them, he will fall into yesterday's predicament again. A demon god with armor is completely different from a demon god without armor!
The next moment, Anling also rushed over, threw a piece of rock candy into his mouth, and his life radiance immediately ignited. He captured the force field, and the sound waves vibrated and converged into a line, which, carrying cold mist, directly slashed at the demon god who had been smashed by Tao Tong, but whose legs were not completely broken.
Clearly, this is the kind of teammate Tao Tong wanted!
At the foot of Jiangling City, Chen Xi looked at Lu Yu, who had come to pick him up, and felt somewhat strange. Although Lu Yu was already the governor, if he came in person, it should at least be Liao Li and Tao Tong, the two leaders, one civil and one military. When did it become the third-in-command of the civil officials to come?
"Lord Chen, Governor Liao went to borrow boats himself, while Commandant Tao went to wipe out the scattered demon gods," Lu Yu said somewhat awkwardly.
I'd like to recommend a book, "The Ghost Trainer," a new book by a friend in our group. He says it's a lighthearted story that uses hardcore mysticism to capture urban legends. The protagonist will train female ghosts, monsters, and ghost stories to fight and ultimately save the world!
Yes, I firmly believe the other party won't abandon their relationship.
