I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 263 Waste Him!
"Clueless about life and death!"
Seeing Qiao Xuan actually choosing to strike at him, Han Zheng snorted coldly, and the Beidou Tianxuan True Gang he unleashed reached its peak, bursting forth with the massive and awe-inspiring power of Qi Blood Essence.
At the same time, Han Zheng formed a seal with his left hand, and the Black Sky Tathagata Demon Buddha Phase suddenly exploded into action, merging together demonic Qi and Buddha Light.
Taking on two at once, Han Zheng actually chose to directly withstand Qiao Xuan's onslaught.
With the power of the Demon Buddha, he resisted Qiao Xuan's stick strike; Han Zheng was purely defensive, and the Buddha Light and demonic energy around him were instantly shattered.
But there was not the slightest change in Han Zheng, instead, he switched from defense to offense, directing the Avici Path Asura Slash straight at Wang Xu.
As soon as Qiao Xuan made his move, Wang Xu had already retracted his power, transforming into a flame as he turned to flee.
He had no desire whatsoever to be locked in a deadly struggle with Han Zheng.
But in the next moment, Han Zheng's right hand suddenly clenched in the void.
A huge hand of Gang Qi materialized out of thin air, directly catching Wang Xu in its grasp.
Wang Xu, having previously witnessed the might of the Moving Mountain, his body's Gang Qi dispersed, the firelight exploded, and he barely managed to tear apart that giant hand of Gang Qi.
But in the next moment, he was horrified to discover that the few Qi Blood Essences in his body had been almost completely stripped away under the might of Moving Mountain!
The bubbling and burning Gang Qi around Wang Xu instantly weakened, and the observing Qiao Xuan hurriedly launched a frenzied attack towards Han Zheng.
But Han Zheng had long ago employed the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique and in a blink, he was in front of Wang Xu.
Wang Xu erupted with the last of his strength, a pale blue flame instantly enveloping him. The power was so peculiar, it seemed to scorch away any Gang Qi.
The Gang Qi around Han Zheng had just touched the pale blue flames and was instantly evaporated.
But Han Zheng did not retreat; instead, he pointed a finger directly.
Three-Life Breaking Tribulation Finger pierced through past, present, and future, its force cutting through the pale blue flame and instantly striking Wang Xu.
This pinpoint force was domineering and powerful, instantly shattering Wang Xu's heart meridian, leaving him lifeless!
"Slain a martial artist at the Dan Sea Realm. Due to his shattered Dan Sea and non-existent Qi Blood Essence, only five thousand Qi Blood Essence can be obtained."
Wang Xu was, after all, a martial artist from the Dan Sea Realm. Even if his cultivation had plummeted due to the shattered Dan Sea, it could still be worth five thousand Qi Blood Essences, which, for Han Zheng, was quite good.
Turning around, Han Zheng looked at Qiao Xuan and revealed a grim smile, "Mr. Qiao, we still need to properly settle our accounts!"
When Qiao Xuan saw Han Zheng slaying Wang Xu, his heart sank.
If the people of the Wang Family were to reveal everything he had done, he would be truly doomed!
He had no way of confirming whether Wang Xu had truly ordered his family to do so, or was simply bluffing.
Hearing Han Zheng's words, Qiao Xuan snorted coldly, "Settle what? Wang Xu is dead; what more do you want?"
"Of course, I want you to join him in death!"
As his words fell, chants of Buddha and dragon roars sounded in unison around Han Zheng, as the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva View suddenly emerged and bore down directly on Qiao Xuan's head!
Had this guy merely been a spectator before, Han Zheng might have just reported the situation to Wen Tingyun honestly in the end.
As for how to deal with Qiao Xuan afterward, he'd have let Wen Tingyun and Wu Yunfei take over the dispute.
But Qiao Xuan, not knowing whether he sought life or death, had actually made a move against Han Zheng; how could Han Zheng let him off easily?
"Han Zheng! You're killing colleagues without cause; this is a grave taboo in the Demon Cleansing Bureau."
Qiao Xuan's face changed abruptly, his long stick wildly swinging, Gang Qi bursting out wildly like a giant whirligig spinning furiously but were utterly crushed and torn apart by the force of the Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva View.
"Killing colleagues? No, I'm merely purging a scum who colluded with the Black Mountain Demon for my Demon Cleansing Bureau!"
Han Zheng's Blood Slaughter Blade flashed in his hand, and the Avici Path Asura Slash fell. The fierce surge of the Blood Slaughter Blade Edge seemed to split open the gates of hell, instantly blasting Qiao Xuan away.
The moment they faced each other directly, Han Zheng could tell that Qiao Xuan's strength was too weak, even weaker than the average standard of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department.
Although he was at the middle stage of the Xuan Gang Realm, his strength was unsubstantial, and even Pei Xiuyuan who had come before was stronger than him.
It was clear that Qiao Xuan's power hadn't been earned through various missions, but rather through flattery and the constant use of elixirs.
That's why, at the headquarters of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department, he commanded a battalion, but his performance was mediocre.
But after arriving in Jingzhou Prefecture, he was like a fish in water, blatantly deceiving when he could or colluding with the Wang Family to gloss over the truth.
On top of that, having lived in luxury for years—staying within the State Mansion all day without ever going out to exterminate Demons—his strength was even inferior to when he was at the Department's headquarters.
In the blink of an eye, a flurry of sword shadows enveloped Qiao Xuan, and the force of the Autumn Water Shocking Swallow's Destructive Blade was unleashed. Han Zheng's repeated strikes landed on the same spot in the Black Iron Stick in Qiao Xuan's hand, breaking it almost instantly.
The two were on completely different levels in terms of strength, martial skill, and actual combat ability.
Han Zheng made a grasping motion with one hand, and the Moving Mountain Giant Hand immediately caught Qiao Xuan and viciously smashed him to the ground!
Qiao Xuan let out a wretched scream as blood spewed forth.
Han Zheng stepped on him, and a hint of fear flashed in Qiao Xuan's eyes. He quickly begged for mercy, "Spare me! Spare me!"
"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you."
Qiao Xuan had many crimes attributed to him; at the very least, his collusion with the Wang Family and his negligence in duty were indisputable. As for whether he had colluded with the Black Mountain Demon, Han Zheng could pin that on him, but a thorough investigation was still necessary.
Aside from colluding with the Black Mountain Demon, the first two crimes weren't enough to take Qiao Xuan's life, so it would be wrong for Han Zheng to kill him at this point.
Just as Qiao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, Han Zheng moved his foot towards his Dantian. Gang Qi erupted and he stomped down hard!
Qiao Xuan spat out another mouthful of blood, this time passing out as Han Zheng destroyed his Dantian.
He didn't kill him, but crippling him was still an option!
By now, Yang Tianqi had also dealt with the other members of the Wang Family and had captured a few alive.

Coming over, he asked somewhat worriedly, "Brother Han, without a trial you just crippled Qiao Xuan. Could there be trouble? I'm worried that Wu Yunfei might make a big deal out of it."
Han Zheng was nonchalant, "Qiao Xuan colluded with the Wang Family to harm our own people. Is it so abnormal for me to accidentally cripple him in self-defense? It's already generous of me to spare his life.
Swords and sabers are blind; punches and kicks have no emotion. Even normal competitions can't avoid accidental injuries, let alone a real fight.
Moreover, now that I've crippled Qiao Xuan's martial skills, who will stand up for him? Wu Yunfei may get angry, but he won't stand up for a crippled man.
Right now, I'm really curious to see if the Wang Family holds something over Qiao Xuan.
If they do, it's even better."
"Let's interrogate the few alive that I've captured."
Yang Tianqi brought over a few captured disciples of the Wang Family. The result was somewhat disappointing.
The captives were members of the Wang Family's side branches with low status. They only knew that the family often bribed Qiao Xuan, but nothing else.
Nevertheless, it was no big deal. Just the crimes of collusion with the Wang Family and neglect of duty were enough to doom Qiao Xuan.
Han Zheng called over two Xuanjia Guards and had them take Qiao Xuan back to the Kai Ping Prefecture headquarters to hand him over to Wen Tingyun for dealing.
He himself decided not to return yet but instead waited to see how things panned out with Ye Liuyun and Su Wuming before making a decision.
Previously, Han Zheng and Su Wuming, along with Ye Liuyun, had agreed to meet at Qingtai Temple, located between the three State Mansions.
Qingtai Temple once was a significant monastery and a force in the Martial World, but it had been bloodily purged by the Black Mountain Demon sixty years ago during the Southern Mountain turmoil and had since fallen into ruin.
The three of them had agreed to wait there for each other after completing their respective missions.
When Han Zheng arrived at Qingtai Temple, it was still empty, clearly indicating that Su Wuming and Ye Liuyun hadn't finished their tasks.
But as they hadn't sent out any messages requesting help, it was unlikely that they had met with any trouble. Han Zheng decided to rest and recover at Qingtai Temple first.
He had only recently acquired the Heavenly Demon Pill Method and needed to get acquainted with it.
Furthermore, the source of the Demon Chaos had yet to be found. Han Zheng had merely caught the tail of Luo Daoren and more was needed. Next, he intended to investigate Taizhou Prefecture.
So, Han Zheng planned to use the Hunger Level he had accumulated to break through a few more Cultivation Techniques, just in case.
