I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 78 You Speak All My Words!
Han Zheng glanced at the bone-eroding chill wind and calculated his remaining True Qi. He decided to explore a bit further.
His True Qi could maintain him for about fifteen minutes. Considering his foundation, he was even more profound than most martial artists at the Perfect level of the Innate Transcendence Realm.
He planned to explore forward for about seven minutes. If the chilling wind persisted, he would turn back and slay through the demons to escape the ruins.
For Han Zheng, this trip was not entirely fruitless.
He had killed several martial artists at the Innate Realm and gained considerable Hunger Level.
Then, seizing the exceptional Mystical Weapon, Autumn Water Shocking Swallow, had made it worthwhile, even if he decided to leave now.
Most people chose to move forward while some opted to retreat.
Han Zheng observed their strength and couldn't help but shake his head.
Those who chose to move forward were martial artists around the Perfect level of the Innate Transcendence Realm, while those of weaker strength did not dare to proceed forward.
The problem was that by not daring to go forward and with demons behind them, it was equally dangerous; it would be better to take the risk.
The group moved forward for almost seven minutes and a glimmer of light emerged in front.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the main hall of the True Martial Sect, albeit dilapidated. The floor Array was still operational, the light being a result of the Array's luminescence.
Seeing this, everyone's spirits lifted, and they moved even faster.
As long as there was the protection of the Array, the bone-eroding chill wind couldn't reach them!
However, as they proceeded, they sensed something odd.
The True Martial Sect hall looked close but was actually only vaguely visible because of its vast scale.
In reality, it was much farther than they had anticipated.
With the oppressive chill wind outside, they could not move quickly.
If they increased their pace slightly, causing even a minor flaw in their Protective True Qi, the bone-eroding chill wind would reduce them to a skeleton.
Now, nearly halfway there, some people couldn't hold on, their True Qi nearly depleted.
These people, unable to resist speeding up, had their flesh blown away.
Some proceeded cautiously, but the depletion of True Qi was inevitable.
Such martial artists became increasingly desperate. The hope of survival was right before their eyes, yet they could only watch as their flesh was blown clean by the chill wind.
Han Zheng estimated his Inner Strength, which was second only to the Swallowing Ghost Child and the old ancestor of the Zhang Family, amply sufficient to reach the deepest part of the True Martial Sect.
As one martial artist after another died under that chill wind, even the Zhang Family's martial artists couldn't hold on anymore.
"Ancestor! Ancestor, save us!"
The Zhang Family martial artists howled, but the old Zhang Family ancestor seemingly ignored them and strode forward.
These people were the core strength of his Zhang Family, elite martial artists. It was unexpected that they would all die here this time!
Despite so much planning before, even attracting hundreds of martial artists to pave the way for the Zhang Family, it turned out to be in vain.
But it didn't matter, the Zhang Family still had people!
As long as he acquired the True Martial Sect's legacy, he could make the Zhang Family rise and become a top great family of the Southern Mountain.
With this resolute mindset, the Zhang Family's old ancestor slowly moved towards the True Martial Sect hall.
When the hazy Array light enveloped him, and the peripheral chill wind finally stopped there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking back, he saw the Swallowing Ghost Child had also followed him into the Array, and behind him was Han Zheng.
Of the hundreds of martial artists who entered the ruins of the True Martial Sect, only the three of them remained, the rest almost completely annihilated!
Han Zheng also sighed in relief.
Only upon truly stepping into the Martial World did he realize there were countless dangers in this world.
Although he had sacrificed his fear, he could not lose a heart of reverence.
In the Martial World, any decision might cost you your life.
The Swallowing Ghost Child and the old ancestor of the Zhang Family exchanged glances, then both turned to look at Han Zheng.
They both thought they only had one opponent; unexpectedly, now there was also Han Zheng.
This young man had managed to kill Li Qianhai and then effortlessly took down the Eastern River Three Tigers. Although only in the Late Stage of the Innate Transcendence Realm, his combat power was extremely formidable.
The Swallowing Ghost Child looked at Han Zheng and suddenly let out a bizarre laugh.
Just then, Han Zheng suddenly spoke up, "Elder Zhang, why don't we join forces to eliminate this inhuman and ghostly old man first?
I was merely passing through Baijiang Mansion and did not expect to encounter such an opportunity, and now having obtained a top-grade Mystical Weapon is sufficient for me.
This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.
I believe that I do not have the virtue to occupy the inheritance within the relic.
This Swallowing Ghost Child wantonly slaughters the innocent and his sins are full, naturally, he is a demon wanted by the Demon Cleansing Bureau and must be punished by everyone!
And Elder Zhang, you are highly esteemed and well-known throughout Baijiang Mansion, and you never bully others with your power.
Although I am not from Baijiang Mansion, I have also heard martial artists from there praise you, Elder Zhang.
Rather than letting this demon acquire the inheritance in the relic, it would be better for Elder Zhang to have it!
I am willing to assist Elder Zhang in killing this demon and seizing the inheritance!"
As Han Zheng's words poured out rapidly, the Swallowing Ghost Child was immediately stunned.
What Han Zheng said, was exactly his own words!
He originally wanted to persuade Elder Zhang not to act and to eliminate Han Zheng, the uncertain factor, and then the two of them would have it out.
But Han Zheng proposed to join forces with Elder Zhang to eliminate him first.
"You little beast! You are seeking death!"
The Swallowing Ghost Child's face immediately became fearsome and twisted, with ghost energy swirling around him, making him appear sinister and terrifying.
Elder Zhang, surrounded by a faint golden Gang Qi, lightly said, "I believe this young friend makes a lot of sense, Swallowing Ghost Child. You have committed many evils, and now you are getting your retribution."
At this moment, Elder Zhang was feeling very pleased with himself.
Fortunately, he had paid close attention to his reputation over the years, otherwise why would Han Zheng eagerly offer to help him?
In Baijiang Mansion over the years, even when the Zhang Family had committed acts of aggression and seizing by trickery, Elder Zhang had tried his best to conceal it.
This resulted in the Zhang Family still having a relatively good reputation in Baijiang Mansion, especially him, being highly esteemed.
In Elder Zhang's view, Han Zheng was very tactful.
Knowing that he was only at the Innate Realm and couldn't compete with the two of them who were in the Xuan Gang Realm, he chose to withdraw.
If he were Han Zheng, he would definitely choose to help 'highly esteemed' himself, not the notorious Swallowing Ghost Child.
And even if Han Zheng were to play tricks afterward, he was not worried, since only someone carrying an Array Fragment could enter the True Martial Sect's true core hall.
Moreover, as long as Han Zheng wasn't crazy, how would he dare to play tricks on him?
When the Swallowing Ghost Child saw the two standing together, he laughed out of extreme anger.
"Young man, do you really think this Mr. Zhang is a good person?
Before, his Zhang Family was hardly considered a significant noble family in Baijiang Mansion. Over the years, through overt and covert annexation and warfare, they have killed countless people to reach their current position.
Do you think just because his name, Zhang Mingde, contains 'virtue', he is highly esteemed?
He is famously known as a 'smiling tiger'—smiling and looking kind on the outside but harboring more sinister intents than anyone!"
Han Zheng scoffed, "You demon, stop spouting nonsense and falsely accusing others!
Could you be more vicious than you, who slaughtered an entire town?"
Hearing the Swallowing Ghost Child reveal his shortcomings, Elder Zhang's expression also darkened.
"Han, pay no attention to this demon's nonsense! Let's deal with him first!"
At this point, Elder Zhang was genuinely worried Han Zheng might change sides.
As he finished speaking, Elder Zhang's golden Gang Qi suddenly erupted. With a palm strike, it fell like a giant golden seal from the sky.
Zhang Family's secret Seal Technique, Bright Great Palm!
In fact, some of the Zhang Family's martial arts originated from the True Martial Sect.
Elder Zhang was once a servant of a powerful figure in the True Martial Sect.
Although only a servant, he was the most trusted by that powerful figure and thus was taught quite a bit of the non-core martial arts of the True Martial Sect, which was key to the rise of the Zhang Family.
The successive generations of the Zhang Family were so persistent in trying to seize the inheritance of the True Martial Sect, harboring a mindset of turning from the guest into the host.
Their ancestor was a servant, but they did not want to be servants generation after generation!
As Elder Zhang boldly made his move, Han Zheng tightened his grip on the recently acquired Autumn Water Shocking Swallow Saber, positioned behind him.
Elder Zhang didn't realize that Han Zheng, looking at his back, revealed a strange smile.
