Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 224 Preparing for Battle! Preparing Our Trump Cards!

Upon hearing Zhu Ge's words, Dao Xia immediately deflated.

Liu Jianjian's hair also floated up, its tips glowing, and voices came from within.

"No, no, no, Master, you can't refine it, you can't refine it!"

"That's right, that's right, Daoxia is a hotshot, don't listen to him!"

"You damn swordsman, you son of a bitch! I'll kill you, you son of a bitch!!"

Various sounds emanated from these strands of hair.

The monsters were frightened.

If Zhu Ge really lets Liu Jianjian refine the great demon, she might actually drain all of these demons dry.

After all, Liu Jianjian needed to rely on the power of these demonic beasts when refining the three realms of spirit-devouring demonic beasts.

It's hard to imagine how much energy a second-stage cultivator like Liu Jianjian would need to refine a powerful demon.

So, after the swordsman uttered those words, the monsters cursed him while simultaneously pleading with Zhu Ge.

However, Zhu Ge was also aware of the situation.

Refining is impossible.

The gap between the Great One and the Three Realms is greater than the gap between the Three Realms and the First Realm.

What's more, those at the second realm who don't even have divine consciousness?

Back then, if Zhu Ge, who was at the first realm, were to confront the fisherman in the straw raincoat, who was at the third realm, head-on, he would basically be doomed.

But if refining doesn't work, can we at least restrain it?

At the cost of all of Liu Jianjian's demonic energy, the Plague God Sparrow was "refined" in an instant.

Although it is impossible to refine it, simply freezing it for a moment could have a disruptive effect on the ever-changing battlefield.

"This is a trump card." Zhu Ge solemnly said to Liu Jianjian, "Jianjian, I'm not asking you to refine a great demon, but you can restrain it."

"To restrain?" Liu Jianjian was very clever and immediately thought of Zhu Ge's meaning.

"Yes, we can restrain the great demon for a moment, then coordinate with the Fungus God's Annihilation Array." Zhu Ge narrowed his eyes. "Then we can kill it!"

Zhu Ge didn't know the limits of the Fungal God Annihilation Array.

However, as the one who set up the formation, the True Lord of the Lantern said that this formation could deal with the powerful, which means it could deal with the powerful.

At that time, taking advantage of the situation, his bone monster clone will manipulate the Fungus God Annihilation Array, while Liu Jianjian will use the refining method to restrain him for a moment. It is estimated that it may really be possible to kill the Plague God Sparrow.

"Slay a great demon?!" Liu Jianjian was stunned for a second, then her eyes grew brighter and brighter, and her breathing became rapid.

Slay the great demon!

This is something that a normal monster like Liu Jianjian wouldn't even dare to dream of.

That's a powerful demon!

It represents a realm that countless demons and beasts could never reach, even after a lifetime of striving.

The entire Honghe Prefecture was thrown into chaos because of the arrival of the Plague God Sparrow.

If Liu Jianjian can use her second-realm power to help Zhu Ge kill a great demon, wouldn't she become a legend among the demons in the future?

"I, I will definitely do my best!" Liu Jianjian's face was flushed, and she was in a state of excitement.

Her wildly flying hair tips also calmed down.

Indeed, the goal of refining a great demon was too far-fetched, which frightened all the demon beasts under Liu Jianjian's command.

However, if it's about helping Zhu Ge kill the great demon, that goal becomes much more attainable.

Even this goal is attractive to these monsters.

"Well, before the final battle, Jianjian, you must store up enough demonic energy." Zhu Ge patted Liu Jianjian's shoulder.

Liu Jianjian took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, Master, I'll do nothing but gather demonic energy these next two days!"

After saying that, she simply sat down cross-legged, closed her eyes, and her whole body surged with demonic energy.

The demonic beasts in her hair quieted down and stopped making noise, slowly feeding her their demonic energy back to her.

The mighty monkey perched on her shoulder, no longer eating bananas, but closing its eyes, its demonic heart beating slowly.

Zhu Ge felt somewhat relieved after witnessing this scene.

"Zhao Tieshan." He turned around.

"Here!" Zhao Tieshan clasped his hands in greeting.

"You will lead the troops that are feigning an attack at the East Gate. The number of troops doesn't need to be large; five hundred warriors and one thousand soldiers will suffice."

"Make a big show of force, but don't linger in battle. Once you see three red energy blasts rising from the city walls, retreat immediately and run towards the Six Paths Valley."

"Towards Six Valleys?" Zhao Tieshan was taken aback. "Not towards the camp?"

"We're abandoning the camp," Zhu Ge said. "If we win this battle, we'll head straight back to Six Paths Valley to celebrate. If we lose—"

"Run towards Six Paths Valley. There's a powerful formation there that can save your life."

Zhao Tieshan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."

"Scholar Yu." Zhu Ge looked at Scholar Yu.

"Yes." Scholar Yu, with his snow-white hair and a gentle smile, replied.

"You will take the Confucian scholar and act with Zhao Tieshan. Your mission is not to kill the enemy, but to dispel the plague. By the way, can Gongyang Confucian's 'Kill' spell counteract the plague god sparrow's poisonous mist?" Zhu Ge asked.

After a moment's thought, Yu Xiucai said, "I haven't tried it, but it's worth a shot."

"The literary energy of Confucianism and Taoism is inherently able to restrain the likes of ghosts and gods. Although the Plague God Sparrow is a great god, the plague it spreads is essentially the power of evil spirits. With my literary energy, plus the combined efforts of eighty Confucian scholars, we can at least protect an area of ​​a hundred feet from the poisonous fog."

The Plague God Sparrow is a great god, but he is an evil god.

It feeds on the fear emanating from creatures during a certain plague.

This negative energy, when it encounters the upright and powerful positive energy of Confucianism, is essentially like fire meeting water.

Zhu Ge doesn't need to use literary style to suppress; he only needs to restrain and resist.

"That's enough." Zhu Ge nodded. "If something happens in the north, you'll take over."

"Understood." Scholar Yu nodded solemnly in response.

Zhu Ge then walked up to the black horned bull.

The black-horned bull was lying on the ground with its eyes half-closed, as if it were dozing off.

Sensing Zhu Ge approaching, it raised its head.

"Blackhorn, you also have a mission."

"Moo?" The black horned bull snorted.

"On the day of the final battle, you'll lead the herd and guard the banks of the Red River. You don't need to fight; you just need to stop the monsters escaping from the river. Don't let a single one escape." Zhu Ge narrowed his eyes, and the black-horned ox's eyes widened: "That's it? You don't want me, this old ox, to go to the battlefield?"

Its voice was tinged with surprise.

"That's it." Zhu Ge grinned.

"That's too easy." The black horned bull flicked its tail. "Leave it to me."

Zhu Ge nodded and looked at Ji Fuhui and Duan Lei.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Little Black Egg, Big-bellied Dog————"

Zhu Ge made arrangements one by one, and even crushed Yan Liyuan's jade tablet in the middle to summon him over for a chat.

It was already late at night when everything was arranged.

Zhu Ge sat alone on the hill behind the camp, gazing at the outline of Yuanyang City in the distance.

Moonlight peeked through the gaps in the poisonous clouds, illuminating the floating city in the air, making it appear and disappear.

"What are you still thinking about?" Hua Liusha's voice rang in his mind, carrying a hint of gentleness.

Hua Liusha has been speaking very little lately, seemingly afraid of disturbing Zhu Ge.
