Chapter 7293 A Method of Restraint Has Appeared

Qi Xiu and Zhao Ying weren't very close, but they had worked together and fought side by side before. So when Zhao Ying inexplicably took out the Jiang Guang Beast and asked Qi Xiu to wear it, Qi Xiu was a little confused, but she still tried it on.

"What happened?" Qi Xiu asked with some doubt as Zhao Ying used her proliferation ability on Jiang Guangshou to envelop him completely.

"Brother Qi, do you have any sensory abilities? You mean, the ability to sense the outside world even when you're completely enclosed?" Zhao Ying asked as she wrapped Qi Xiu in the Jiang Guang Beast.

"I do have that ability. After all, I'm a Yueqi rider, so I do have the ability to sense the wind," Qi Xiu replied, though he didn't understand.

“Then I’ll wrap you up inside. This way, it’ll be airtight, and the demon god shouldn’t be able to find you.” Zhao Ying said excitedly, and then quickly wrapped Qi Xiu up inside the demon god, or to put it more directly, Qi Xiu wore the demon god as clothes.

"Won't the demons discover it?" Qi Xiu pondered upon hearing this. After all, he knew how Zhao Ying had survived among the demons before. He could also impersonate a demon by donning the demon's robes. In that case, it didn't seem surprising. The only question was, what would be the point of becoming a demon?

"Come on, let me show you something." After Qi Xiu put on the Demon God costume, Zhao Ying led Qi Xiu directly to the location of the Yunmeng Demon God army. Without thinking, she dragged a Demon God out. During this process, the Demon God that Zhao Ying was dragging struggled a bit, but did not take the initiative to attack.

At this moment, Qi Xiu was stunned, and her mind couldn't even process what was happening.

"Quick, quick, Brother Qi, come with me and kill this thing!" Zhao Ying said excitedly. Qi Xiu made his move in a daze, and then the two of them killed the demon god right next to the main force of the demon god.

After killing this person, Zhao Ying simply couldn't handle a fifth one. This was probably the first time in his life that he had absorbed so much life force in a single day with the Killing Absorption talent, and the person using this talent wasn't even injured. This resulted in a severe accumulation of life force, and Zhao Ying felt quite hot all over.

"What...what?" After killing a demon god next to the main force of the demon gods, Qi Xiu fell into a state of self-doubt. What was going on?

"I don't know. Although we don't know the situation, we can take advantage of it. We don't need to know the principles; we just need to know what to do," Zhao Ying said excitedly. To be honest, the young minds are more efficient and flexible than the older generation's. She was already thinking about how to go on a killing spree.

"There might be a problem of self-devouring among demon gods, so it's not a problem for them to attack each other," Qi Xiu said with a hint of speculation.

"I don't know, but it's not important," Zhao Ying said in a deep voice.

“That’s right. You stay here now, and I’ll go back and inform them. Then I’ll have Jiang Guang and his gang come over and test it out. If they don the Demon God’s skin and the Demon God stops attacking, then what’s the point of any strategy?” Qi Xiu couldn’t help but chime in. This was practically a golden opportunity beckoning him!

"Brother Qi, hurry up and inform them." Zhao Ying squatted to the side, slowly digesting the life essence. As he said before, this was the first time in so many years that he had absorbed so much life essence. He was already feeling quite hot and his body temperature was rising.

"Okay, you stay here, I'll go find Jiang Guang and the others right now." Qi Xiu said excitedly. Compared to the previous plan, this plan is much more direct: throw the demon gods into the mix, and let these great demon gods steal the demon gods' food. This is simply awesome!

After saying that, Qi Xiu ran away at incredible speed, without even taking off the demon god costume she was wearing, and rushed straight out of Yunmeng. Zhao Ying found a relatively dry wooden stake, sat down on it, and then quietly watched the flock of sheep in front of her!

That's right. After realizing that once he donned the Demon God's robes, the Demon God would no longer attack him proactively, and that attacking the Demon God would be equivalent to a one-on-one duel, Zhao Ying no longer viewed the Demon God with the same eyes as before. Instead, he viewed the Demon God more like a shepherd looking at his flock of sheep, all of which were thanks to his own merits!

Qi Xiu was very fast. Even if he couldn't compare to superhumans like Huang Tao, as a veteran of the Yueqi, his mobility was quite terrifying. He successfully encountered Jiang Guang and his group before leaving Yunmeng. The moment they saw Qi Xiu, they attacked with all their might without saying a word!

"Holy crap, it's me, Qi Xiu!" When Qi Xiu saw the extremely oppressive blade that Jiang Guang swung out, which felt like the entire world was crashing down on him, he finally understood what it was like to face Jiang Guang head-on. His original two-pronged approach immediately turned into cursing.

After this attack, Qi Xiu felt like he would be torn into pieces. And this was only because he was wearing the Demon God Skin, which greatly increased his defense. If he were still the fragile guy he was before, this attack would probably have turned him into a dense fan shape.

"Damn it!" Jiang Guang quickly withdrew his strength, then changed his vertical slash into a horizontal sweep of the blade's spine, sending Qi Xiu, who had transformed into a demon god, flying more than ten meters away. After rolling a few times on the ground, Qi Xiu struggled to get up. To be honest, this demon god skin was indeed tough. If Qi Xiu had taken that hit himself, he would probably be injured now. Jiang Guang's full-force attack was indeed outrageous.

"Old Qi, are you out of your mind? Why are you pretending to be a demon god for no reason? Are you afraid I won't beat you up?!" Jiang Guang sheathed his knife, rushed over to help Qi Xiu up, and then, after confirming that the other was alright, started cursing, "Seriously, what are you doing here pretending to be a demon god? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on the main force of the demon gods and make sure Zhao Ying doesn't get into trouble?"

Qi Xiu's willpower surpasses that of Zhang Huang. Although he is not as good as Zhang Huang in terms of willpower killing, Qi Xiu's willpower is quite large, even larger than the internal energy leaving the body of a normal divine cultivator. Jiang Guang left Qi Xiu there to observe, partly to see the situation, and partly to let Qi Xiu release his willpower body to clear a path for Zhao Ying if they were not there and Zhao Ying was discovered.

This could be considered a guarantee, but now Qi Xiu has been discovered here. What major event has occurred? Although Jiang Guang was prepared for the plan to fail and Zhao Ying to be finished, he still sincerely hoped that Zhao Ying could complete the mission. If Zhao Ying completed the mission and became a marquis, then Jiang Guang would at least be a marquis within the pass!

If something were to happen to Zhao Ying, Jiang Guang, who works in the same office, would certainly be very upset. What's more, he would also be upset if he lost his merit card, which was a human rights card!

"Zhao Ying is fine, but we've discovered a new vulnerability." Qi Xiu could tell from Jiang Guang's expression that he had misunderstood, so she quickly told him what she knew.

"It's good that Zhao Ying is alright. Right now, I'm most worried about something happening to Zhao Ying. Let's go there first and talk on the way." Jiang Guang felt much better after hearing that Zhao Ying was alright. As long as Zhao Ying was alright, nothing else mattered. The most important thing now was Zhao Ying.

"It's like this..." Qi Xiu followed Jiang Guang and his group, telling them everything Zhao Ying had discovered. The group was completely stunned. What did it mean that as long as you are a demon god, you can mess with other demon gods in a group of demon gods and they won't have any special reactions? Are demon gods that well-mannered? This is too exaggerated.

"It's probably because the Spring and Autumn Period valued 'Zhi Shi,' which is essentially a one-on-one duel. We would transform into demon gods and engage in 'Zhi Shi,' and the other party would send out a demon god to engage in 'Zhi Shi' with us. In the Spring and Autumn Period, this kind of thing was still based on reason," Bashu said after thinking for a moment. He came from a respectable family in Sili and had some knowledge.

"It could also be because of his grandson. After all, the phrase 'obedience to orders' is used to describe his grandson. When a demon god enters battle mode, it will spontaneously form an organizational force to cooperate with each other, which means that even if he becomes a demon god, the things left behind by his grandson are still influencing the demon god." Huang Xiu added, "It's not just Bashu who has attended a private school; he has too."

"So there's such a loophole?" Jiang Guang's eyes lit up. Wasn't this giving him an opportunity?

"It's not that simple. Just the fact that you have to don the Demon God's robes and disguise yourself as a Demon God is enough to stump most veterans." Wang Mao shook his head and said, "Without breaking through the limits of willpower, donning the Demon God's robes is equivalent to being swallowed by the Demon God. Over time, you can easily be assimilated and absorbed by the Demon God. In other words, only those who have broken through the limits of willpower can do this."

"Isn't it just so happens that Marquis Chen borrowed a batch of people with broken willpower using the Oath Divine Seal?" Jiang Guang said with a smile. "Look, when luck comes, you can't stop it. We're going to make a lot of merit this time. Let's go and test it out to see if what Zhao Ying said is suitable for everyone."

Incidents of the great demons stealing and eating the lesser demons began to occur frequently. After Zhao Ying's remaining five babies surrounded Jiang Guang and the others, Jiang Guang, Wang Mao, Zhang Huang, Guang Yuan, and Ba Xiu each dragged a demon out of the pile of demons. While being dragged, only the demons being dragged put up a slight resistance, but such resistance was almost like an adult dragging a child to these great demons—completely meaningless!

Then the five people quickly and completely destroyed the five demon gods, and let Hou Jing and Huang Xiu try it out as well. As for Ma Ye, sorry, he is not qualified to play like this without breaking the limit of willpower. At this moment, Ma Ye also felt that he was being bullied. Damn it, what the hell? Group bullying is too much!

"No, after I put this on, my combat power was halved." After Hou Jing put on the Demon God outfit, he found that his talent structure was completely unusable. He was an archer, and the Demon God's interference with him was quite severe.

"Alright, then Brother Hou can only serve as an assistant in the tree." Jiang Guang didn't make things difficult for Hou Jing when he heard her say that. That was normal; such a sudden idea couldn't possibly be applicable to every situation.

“It’s not working well. Wearing this thing for a long time seems to erode the skin and assimilate it. Although we’re at the limit of willpower, we can withstand this erosion, but the demon god is alive after all. It will continue to erode, and we don’t have Zhao Ying’s ability to continuously absorb and assimilate the demon god.” Wang Mao peeled the demon god off his body and found that granulation tissue and filamentous substances had appeared on the skin where it had been in direct contact with the demon god. However, after using his limit of willpower to destroy these things, the skin recovered.

"It's alright, not too serious." Jiang Guang looked at himself and saw that he also had some on his body, so he rubbed it off a couple of times, like scrubbing off dirt when taking a shower.

"It's not serious, but it means that even if your willpower is broken, wearing this kind of thing, you can only fight one or two demon gods at most before you have to stop and rest." Bashu looked at the flesh buds on his body and was also very helpless. To be honest, he had seen a lot of strange things in his life, so he didn't have a deep feeling about this kind of thing. If a normal person saw this scene, they would probably feel their scalp tingling.

"In any case, this is indeed a solution to the problem. We can give it a try, report it, and then bring over the one who just achieved the Willpower Breakthrough today, so we can steal the Demon God together." Jiang Guang said with some excitement. Compared to other situations, this solution was more reliable.

"Alright, alright." Ma Ye looked at the group of people below and felt somewhat out of place. There was nothing to say, so he decided to go and practice his skills and stimulate his will. Maybe he would break through the limits of his will and then rely on the Oath Seal to protect himself. That way, he wouldn't be ostracized.

After all, in this circle, no matter how you look at it, it seems like ordinary people simply can't survive!

"Ma Ye, go report." Jiang Guang called to Ma Ye. The rest of them could rub off the mud and recover before continuing the fight, but Ma Ye, without breaking through the limits of willpower, no matter how high his combat power was, it was useless. This was to play the role of a demon god, not to be the demon god's material.

If a demon god were to devour a modern six-fold fusion, who knows what new characteristics would emerge? The demon god of Yunmeng is still relatively normal now, after all, many of its talents come from the Spring and Autumn Period, and it wasn't as professional and refined as it is now. So, there are always some loopholes that can be found. Even if the main talent is extremely strong, there are always ways to deal with it. But if it were to become the current version...

Do you even understand what it means that war has evolved over thousands of years, and the methods of killing have become more efficient?

Ma Ye didn't say much, mounted his snow eagle and flew back to Jiangling. At this time, Chen Xi was inspecting the God-Slaying Spear production line in Jiangling. As he said before, compared to other things, Chen Xi could control this thing and its power was guaranteed. Producing more would only benefit everyone!

"Can this still be optimized?" Chen Xi looked at Wan Zhen, whom he had captured. As he always said, the master of the assembly world can always find some incredible assembly techniques, and can pull out a robot from a garbage dump. It may sound outrageous to others, but for Wan Zhen, it is something that can be expected.

The only problem is that Wan Zhen is a travel enthusiast who doesn't like to stay in one place. He's like a bird without feet, who, once he takes off, never comes down. Coming down basically means the end of his life. Similarly, Wan Zhen never goes home after he leaves. If he goes home, he can basically prepare his coffin.

Chen Xi was aware of Wan Zhen's characteristics, which is why he didn't leave Wan Zhen in Chang'an to work on development. As he said before, although Wan Zhen was useful, it was enough for him to record his inspirations and pass them on. There was no need to confine him to Chang'an. Keeping him in one place would only cause Wan Zhen's inspirations to gradually disappear.

“There are three options!” Wan Zhen said, holding up three fingers.

"You're still amazing." Chen Xi clicked his tongue twice. It wasn't that Ma Jun, Zheng Hun, and their group of geniuses weren't amazing, but rather that Wan Zhen was truly beyond human in terms of knowledge. This guy had recently been able to come up with knowledge that Chen Xi didn't even know. It's just that people say traveling ten thousand miles is better than reading ten thousand books, but Wan Zhen had really read ten thousand books and traveled ten thousand miles, so he had seen everything.

“After all, it’s a pre-set battlefield, and we can control when the battle starts. In that case, why not go for a high-powered approach and not be so strict about the expiration date? The number of demon gods isn’t that many, so why not produce and use them on the same day? That way, the power can be maximized. We can even try the energy-absorbing properties of the Light-Chasing Arrow for even greater power.” Wan Zhen directly proposed a development path.

"This is a temporary solution. I might need to use this stuff to work on Kussan later," Chen Xi sighed. "But it's fine for now."

"Instead of dealing with Kushan, why not create a complete encapsulation system? That is, encapsulate a design all at once, seal it with an insulating sash, and then assemble it in Kushan. After all, you have a parts assembly line, so you can do it that way." Wan Zhen thought for a moment and said quite naturally. Chen Xi looked at Wan Zhen. This guy is really a very good technical application person. It's a pity that he can't stay by her side forever.

"Speaking of which, why are you here? Didn't you go abroad? I heard you were going to the Arctic Circle to do research, to see polar bears or something," Chen Xi asked with some doubt.

"The cavalrymen from Xiliang brought me a rare and precious treasure. After studying it carefully, I found that this thing should be a derivative of human tissue, so I came here to take a look. I thought it was some new species of human." Wan Zhen put on the fearless posture of an investigator.

"Now you know what it is?" Chen Xi said, somewhat speechless.

"The Yunmeng Demon God, a human from the Spring and Autumn Period, I know." Wan Zhen said calmly. Chen Xi nodded upon hearing this, and then heard Wan Zhen continue, "It seems to be something with considerable research value."

"Stop researching such strange and unusual things," Chen Xi said to Wan Zhen in an annoyed tone.

“I’ve found that this stuff is actually quite susceptible to fungal infections, so the description of it as a large cordyceps sinensis isn’t really wrong,” Wan Zhen said, pulling out a long, white, mycelial strand.

　I can't get up, I absolutely can't get up, and I'm cold inside.
