Chapter 7253 Convergence
To be honest, Zhao Ying didn't remember who this little old man with the missing arm was at this moment, and she didn't even feel familiar with him when she saw him.
After all, more than ten years ago in the northern frontier, Zhao Ying was in Zhang Fei's army and was driven crazy by Zhang Fei's army's talent. Her consciousness was relatively blurred. Although He Yuan and Zhao Ying were comrades-in-arms, they did not have much contact. After more than ten years apart, he had no impression of them at all.
Therefore, when He Yuan called out her name directly, Zhao Ying was quite puzzled. After all, she didn't know her at all, and the other party called her so familiarly, so they must be an acquaintance. Then the problem arose: if an acquaintance met you and called your name, and you couldn't recall the other person's name, then there was a big problem.
Fortunately, he was currently fighting the demon god to the death, and Zhao Ying felt that even if he couldn't call out the other party's name, the other party wouldn't have time to think about it. So he could only answer while fighting the Candle Dragon Demon God to the death, roaring. After all, he wasn't just talking nonsense. His treatment method was something that normal veterans really couldn't withstand.
Even a veteran who has undergone six levels of refinement would not consider Zhao Ying's brutal treatment method if given other options.
Just looking at Zhao Ying's blood-red spear, just realizing that it's a vessel for absorbing killing power, would make any normal person keep their distance. Let alone using something like that for treatment? What a joke! Normally, a spear formed from absorbing killing power, even if the other party doesn't drain your life force, would be enough to leave a normal veteran half-dead from the will damage alone.
To be honest, this thing is essentially a willpower beam gun, something that a normal veteran in a half-dead state can't withstand.
As for He Yuan's strength, in Zhao Ying's opinion, he's alright, a notable figure. However, his survivability is truly lacking. He was hit by the tail of the Candle Dragon Demon God and couldn't stand up at all. His resistance and defense are seriously problematic. Under such circumstances, Zhao Ying was able to stab him with a beam of willpower...
"Zhao Ying, stop talking nonsense and stab me! Quick! I'm going to fight this thing to the death!" Although He Yuan was beaten so badly that he couldn't get up again, he didn't seem to lack any strength. All he had was rage. After all, the reason He Yuan was able to survive the attack that sent the carousel flying was because he realized that he was protecting Chen Xi during the carousel.
Chen Xi, that's Chen Xi!
I'm just a worthless life, I'll die if I die. More than ten years ago, when I broke my arm, I should have died by now. But I've lived more than ten years longer, I have a wife and children, I've been given a job, and I've even managed to get my children into school. Now I even have the opportunity to have my limb reattached for free.
After all, He Yuan, being a local, knew very well what kind of person Zhang Liang was. He Yuan might not believe others who said that limb reattachment was free, but that unlucky kid Zhang Liang, despite his high income, was really broke. His eating and drinking could bankrupt a wealthy family with a salary of two thousand shi.
Do you understand? As long as they came to serve together, they would invite them to sit and eat as they pleased. They were incredibly generous, treating money like it was nothing. Of course, this was also because after Zhang Liang broke his arms and legs, he never had the chance to suffer any humiliation. Many of the brothers who had eaten with Zhang Liang came to visit him.
If it weren't for the fear of putting pressure on Zhang Liang and reminding him of the painful memory of losing his arm and leg, there would be an endless stream of brothers coming to visit him in Jingzhou and Xiangyang.
This was after Zhang Liang's arms and legs recovered, and the people coming and going were basically a group of guys at the level of fifteen or sixteen.
Similarly, this is why Zena kept his distance from Zhang Liang when he first arrived in Chang'an. He was indeed stronger than Zhang Liang, but unless it was a one-on-one fight, even if Zena called all the veterans he knew and could invite, Zhang Liang only needed to gather all the brothers he trusted who were willing to fight alongside him and defend their brotherhood with their lives.
Zhang Liang will attract more people than Zena, and the quality of those people will also be better.
To be honest, this is truly terrifying. Normal aristocratic families would avoid a scoundrel like Zhang Liang. His performance and strength are indeed too heaven-defying.
However, Zhang Liang was indeed broke. Among the people of Jingxiang who were skilled in smelting, Zhang Liang was the only one who was broke. He was from a family with a salary of two thousand shi (a unit of grain), and he was a glutton and liked to eat with his brothers. So, when Zhang Liang said he hadn't spent any money, He Yuan couldn't help but believe him.
"Hold on!" Zhao Ying clashed head-on with the Candle Dragon Demon God, sending the Demon God flying several steps backward. Zhao Ying then leaped back, and the spear wrapped in killing energy in her hand suddenly extended six or seven meters, piercing He Yuan's chest before He Yuan was ready!
In that instant, Chen Xi and Zhou Yu both heard He Yuan's screams, screams even more exaggerated than the screams of a pig being slaughtered.
However, Zhao Ying did not feel sorry for He Yuan. On the contrary, she thought that He Yuan was probably fine. After all, people who could scream so loudly in the emergency room were basically incapable of being saved, and He Yuan was obviously incapable of being saved at all.
"Damn it, the essence you absorbed is poisonous!" He Yuan screamed a few times, feeling his power return. He immediately reached out and broke the willpower light gun stuck in his body.
"Nonsense, it was sucked out of that thing over there. You can imagine how poisonous it is. It's good enough that it can heal!" Zhao Ying said irritably, then took off her gauntlets and threw them to He Yuan. After all, He Yuan's broadsword had become curved after the previous attack, and its effectiveness had been greatly reduced.
"Is it a poison problem? I feel like the essence is burning my body when it enters. Damn, is this how you treat it by killing and absorbing? Are you that tough?" He Yuan took the gauntlet, put it on his own hands, and then charged towards the Candle Dragon Demon God while cursing.
"That's because your physical condition is too poor. We didn't have this problem when we were treating you!" Zhao Ying replied while scolding. At this moment, he and He Yuan did have a certain tacit understanding, and he vaguely remembered He Yuan, but he couldn't recall her name.
But it doesn't matter, just do it!
Unlike Zhao Ying's fighting style, He Yuan put on the gauntlets and charged straight at the demon god. His talent structure was not suitable for agile and flexible actions; he was better suited for head-on confrontations, and he himself preferred head-on battles.
"Die!" A faint glow emanated from He Yuan's body, a manifestation of his will being pushed to its limit. The burst of speed, the condensation of illusions, and most importantly, the heavy strike talent were all combined, with He Yuan's left arm, which he had blasted out, as the core, directly punching a large crater into the body of the demon god.
That terrifying power not only knocked the demon god over, but also caused He Yuan's left arm to twist irregularly. But it didn't matter. Even if I, He Yuan, died here today, I would still kill this guy who dared to offend Marquis Chen. There was nothing else to say, just die!
Such a wild attack made Zhao Ying's eyes light up. He grabbed his spear and charged forward again. Taking advantage of the moment when the Candle Dragon Demon God was overturned, he quickly thrust several spears into the Demon God's body. He sucked, sucked hard!
"Roar!" At this moment, the Candle Dragon Demon God let out a miserable cry, and then activated the ability to close its eyes again. Han Qiong and the Immortal Zhenxing, who had recently been on duty to protect Chen Xi, grabbed Chen Xi and ran without saying a word. Then Zhou Yu was hit by a powerful sweeping attack, and his whole body flew backward and crashed into the stone wall.
Zhao Ying and He Yuan weren't doing well either, but as I said before, Zhao Ying's treatment is completely trustworthy. As long as your willpower is at its limit, Zhao Ying is the best doctor.
So the two unlucky kids flew out and then charged back up, drawing on the demon's life force. For these two, they were determined to kill the demon today.
"How are you feeling? Is this kind of thing easy to deal with?" Chen Xi asked Han Qiong beside him.
"Its strength is only at the level of internal energy leaving the body, but its regenerative and recovery ability is too strong, making it difficult to deal with. Shenpo can handle this kind of thing a little better, but not by much. I even suspect that if we only sever its consciousness, with a body that can self-reproduce, a new consciousness will be born in no time." Han Qiong's expression was somewhat grim. Demon gods are indeed not easy to kill.
“Because Zhao Ying and He Yuan had the willpower to break through limits, they completely ignored the pollution when facing the demon god. Otherwise, the blood dripping from the demon god would actually be poisonous.” Chen Xi sighed and said, “Especially for demon gods of such a high level, their blood would absorb the essence of heaven and earth to regenerate and multiply.”
“Zhao Ying lacks the ability to finish off an enemy. He actually has the fighting power to fight this Candle Dragon Demon God one-on-one, but he doesn’t have the ability to kill him. He can only wear him down.” Han Qiong carefully observed Zhao Ying, who was currently relying on roars to output damage. As the saying goes, Zhao Ying is very strong, but his strength lies in his ability to fight, withstand attacks, and recover. His burst damage output is not enough to quickly kill the demon god.
"It's alright, Jiang Guang is here!" Chen Xi pointed to Jiang Guang, who was rushing over at top speed.
"Zhao Ying, get out of the way, leave it to me!" Jiang Guang roared as he charged forward.
After discovering that his opponent had healed all his injuries with a single move by closing his eyes, Zhao Ying knew he had met a tough opponent today. He was afraid he couldn't handle this guy. Fortunately, Zhao Ying wasn't alone; he had Jiang Guang as his teammate.
Therefore, upon hearing Jiang Guang's words, Zhao Ying ran away without saying a word. As he turned to run, he didn't forget to notify He Yuan to evacuate together. However, when he turned to notify He Yuan, he found that He Yuan, who had heard Jiang Guang's words, had already run away.
As for Uncle Guang, Zhao Ying only remembered him when things were going on and on, but Jiang Guang and He Yuan really knew each other.
The second stage of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration was activated to its limit at this moment. Terrifying power was released from Jiang Guang's body. Because of this wild momentum, the surrounding air was pushed aside, forming a ring of mist. Jiang Guang held the door panel sword in one hand and roared as he slashed forward.
At the same time, Zhou Yu, who had been hit twice by the Candle Dragon Demon God and was preparing to fight the demon god himself, saw Jiang Guang's imposing aura and looked at the three-foot-long sword in his hand. He then turned around and went to join Chen Xi.
There's not much to say. It's only right that Chen Xi mocks himself. Jiang Guang is just an old soldier, yet his performance and aura are far superior to Zhou Yu's. In fact, Zhou Yu deeply suspects that even if he were prepared, he might not be able to withstand Jiang Guang's next strike.
"The Heavenly Demon Disintegration has been developed to this extent?" Han Qiong paused, his hand gripping his beard. He knew Jiang Guang was fierce, but this was the first time Jiang Guang had developed the Second Stage Heavenly Demon into such a monstrous form in front of him.
"Die!" Jiang Guang didn't say anything more. He grabbed the door panel and his broadsword, not caring what kind of fighting power this demon god had. "Take this!"
The wild attack caused the somewhat confused and instinct-driven Zhulong Demon God to break through the limitations left by Sun Wu. His originally hazy consciousness began to glow, and his past experiences as a human began to surface. The revolving lantern started, and he realized that he had to live, even if he had to transform into a beast!
The Candle Dragon opened its mouth, closed its eyes, and unleashed a terrifying breath towards Jiang Guang. The power of the rules caused by its supernatural abilities caused everything around it to disappear from Jiang Guang's sight. Even Jiang Guang lost his sense of up, down, left, and right, leaving only endless darkness.
Faced with this attack, Jiang Guang neither dodged nor hesitated; he simply swung his sword down—laughable! Did they think Jiang Guang was like those juniors behind him? Stripped of his vision and senses, he was rendered powerless?
What were the physical instincts that our older generation trained for? They were for this very moment!
The blade flashed, cleaving through the darkness. Jiang Guang's broadsword sliced the coiled Candle Dragon into several large pieces. Then, in the instant the light of day appeared, Jiang Guang kicked the Candle Dragon's head hard with his iron boots, smashing the upper half of its head, including its eyes, to pieces.
"Zhao Ying, it's up to you!" After crippling the Candle Dragon Demon God with a single move, Jiang Guang kicked the Candle Dragon Demon God, whose head was mostly smashed, to Zhao Ying.
Having already killed quite a few demons, Jiang Guang knew very well that a demon beaten like this would recover in no time. He had to limit the demon's recovery while it was unable to resist, otherwise it would be just like Wei Jun back then, who had amazing combat power but ended up having to grind against a demon for three days and three nights.
Jiang Guang really thought that super-fast regeneration was too amazing!
Seven or eight spears, imbued with the essence of slaughter, pierced the head of the Candle Dragon Demon God. While Zhao Ying was frantically absorbing the essence of the Candle Dragon Demon God, he began to use his own will to break through the limits and fiercely attack the will of the Candle Dragon. There was no other reason than that this pet was more powerful than the previous one, and he would use this pet from now on. In particular, the attack mode that deprived him of sight and perception after closing his eyes was even more powerful than Zena!
There's nothing else to say, this demon must be captured!
Seven or eight spears, imbued with the power of slaughter, held the Candle Dragon Demon God firmly in place. Then, Zhao Ying unleashed his will and fiercely attacked the Demon God's self-awareness. However, the Demon God's regenerative ability was simply too strong. Even though Zhao Ying fiercely absorbed the Demon God's life force and relentlessly attacked its self-awareness, the Demon God was still struggling in its death throes until Zhao Ying's nose bled.
"Are you sure you can handle this? If not, let me kill this thing!" Jiang Guang asked with a headache as He Yuan, who had already brought Chen Xi and his group over, appeared in front of him. Zhao Ying hadn't been dealt with yet.
"This is tough. This is an eighth-level demon god. I tried to break through my limits with my willpower for a long time, but its recovery ability and basic attributes are too strong, which makes its willpower recover quickly as well. It's a bit difficult to deal with. I estimate it will take half a day." Zhao Ying wiped away the blood from his nose and said with a headache. He had rich experience in capturing seventh-level demon gods before, and it was almost done in a few moves. This is the first time he has captured an eighth-level demon god, so it is a bit difficult.
"If I could project my will outwards, I could help you beat him up," Jiang Guang complained, but unfortunately, he couldn't.
"Subdue it with willpower? Does this thing resist willpower attacks?" He Yuan walked over and asked Zhao Ying, who was still struggling there, with some curiosity. Fortunately, she had heard half of what was going on, so at least she knew what was going on.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! I can't handle this thing by myself." Zhao Ying urged. This was the first time he had seen a demon god with such special effects, so he had to capture it. It would be a boost to his combat power. However, recalling how Jiang Guang had cleaved through the darkness, Zhao Ying felt a little discouraged. He felt that this boost to combat power was useless and he still couldn't beat Jiang Guang.
To be fair, Zhao Ying's involvement with Jiang Guang in China has actually led her down a dangerous path. In terms of individual combat strength, Zhao Ying is no match for Jiang Guang, but she possesses command abilities...
It can only be said that when people get carried away, they really don't think straight.
Of the three beings present who have broken through the limits of will, Jiang Guang cannot release his will at all. Although Zhao Ying has broken through the limits of will, he is not a professional will path practitioner. He mainly uses his will talent to suppress the negative effects of killing. On the other hand, He Yuan is a proper will integration system practitioner.
The demon god was stabbed to death...
Damn it, it would be a miracle if someone with a broken will could withstand a full-force attack from someone with a broken will!
Especially since Zhao Ying had already fought the Candle Dragon Demon God to a standstill, and although the Candle Dragon Demon God was not killed, it had no strength left. Otherwise, Zhao Ying would not have been able to capture it in half a day. Under these circumstances, it would be strange if the Candle Dragon Demon God survived the full force of the Will Limit Break attack!
"Dead?" Zhao Ying was silent for a while, looking at He Yuan. He Yuan was also a little embarrassed. He thought it would be difficult to deal with, so he mobilized all his willpower, but the opponent died with just one strike.
“He’s dead, or at least his will has been extinguished,” Chen Xi said as he walked over and glanced at him.
"Lord Chen!" Jiang Guang and Zhao Ying both bowed.
"What were you two planning to do before? Capture this guy and create a new Shadow Soldier?" Chen Xi asked with some curiosity. "By the way, what's the situation in Yunmeng now?"
“Some scattered demons have escaped from Yunmeng. Brother Wei Dan organized veterans who could deal with the demons and formed a team to hunt down these scattered demons. Zhao Ying and I took on the mission and came here to deal with them. We just happened to run into Marquis Chen.” Jiang Guang explained briefly.
"Where is the main force of the Demon God?" Chen Xi pressed.
"We were lured towards Jiangling, where Doctor Sun had already built a permanent defense line," Jiang Guang recalled the intelligence.
