I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 171: Sweeping Through

Outside the secret river of Five Elders Mountain.

Zhang Yan, along with over thirty Xuanjia Guards, was stationed on a small boat, staring at the flickering lights of Five Elders Mountain ahead.

"Old Zhang, do you think Mr. Han’s plan will succeed?

He entered Five Elders Mountain alone to face Li Tianbao and hundreds of Red Flag Thieves.

If he slips up by even a hair, Mr. Han will be surrounded and attacked."

A Golden Rune Team Leader was still slightly uneasy.

After all, they had previously assaulted Five Elders Mountain forcefully, resulting in the death of more than ten brothers without success.

Although Five Elders Mountain also suffered heavy losses, the cost of training one Xuanjia Guard is not the same as training a bandit.

Even with a casualty ratio of one to three, the Demon Cleansing Bureau was at a severe loss.

The reason Liao Hongsheng failed to completely recover the Demon Cleansing Bureau of Smoke Wave Prefecture before his death was also due to his failed assault on Five Elders Mountain, which resulted in the deaths of more than ten Xuanjia Guards.

Of course, this doesn’t mean Liao Hongsheng was wrong.

If he had done nothing, naturally he would not have made mistakes, but the issue is that Liao Hongsheng was not mediocre. He came to the Demon Cleansing Bureau of Smoke Wave Prefecture wanting to make achievements, to resolve these demon bandits, and to bring complete peace to Smoke Wave Prefecture.

However, the chaotic situation in Smoke Wave Prefecture didn’t leave him much opportunity, and one failure was enough to lose the people’s trust.

Han Zheng came to Smoke Wave Prefecture this time having learned from Liao Hongsheng’s previous lessons.

He relied on no one else but completely on his own repeated victories to win people’s hearts.

As long as Han Zheng succeeded in every action and benefitted his subordinates, the Xuanjia Guards, Han Zheng wouldn’t need to say anything about winning hearts—people would naturally speak for him.

Just like Zhang Yan now.

Zhang Yan gripped the sword in his hand tightly, staring intently in the direction of Five Elders Mountain, and said, "This question has been asked before. I have to say, we are all here now, so why hesitate?

Of course, I don’t know if Mr. Han’s plan will be successful.

I only knew initially that I didn’t think Mr. Han could slay the Golden Spirit King and the Dragon King of Smoke Wave Lake.

Yet now, the heads of these two demons have been turned into specimens and sent to the headquarters of the Demon Cleansing Bureau of Kai Ping Prefecture.

Gentlemen, there are no outsiders here, so I don’t fear saying some things.

Our Demon Cleansing Bureau of Smoke Wave Prefecture has changed three Demon Sweeping Captains in two years, look around Southern Mountain, which State Mansion changes as frequently as ours?

It’s apparent that the higher-ups have long been dissatisfied with Smoke Wave Prefecture, and for those of us who come from Smoke Wave Prefecture, even future promotions are a huge problem."

The three Golden Rune Team Leaders present slightly changed their expressions.

They were still young and strong and naturally did not want to spend their lives in Smoke Wave Prefecture; they also hoped to be transferred to the headquarters or be promoted to Demon Sweeping Captain in other State Mansions in the future.

If their records were tainted, spending their lives stuck in Smoke Wave Prefecture would ruin them.

"The two senior officers of our Smoke Wave Prefecture, let’s not mention Mr. Zhao; he is already old and can only stay in Smoke Wave Prefecture for the rest of his life.

Mr. Pei has been in Smoke Wave Prefecture for many years, and although he is still young, I won’t comment on how he handles things—he has a bit of petty family spirit.

So, how many times over the years has Mr. Pei sought to take charge of Smoke Wave Prefecture? But the higher-ups would rather keep appointing three external Demon Sweeping Captains than choose him, which clearly shows their intent.

Previously, they could use the reason that the appointed people, like Mr. Liao, were stronger.

But Mr. Han, in terms of realm, is on the same level as Mr. Pei and even less experienced; yet, he still outshines Mr. Pei, which clearly shows the higher-ups’ attitude toward Mr. Pei.

Mixing with those two with no prospects, unless you all want to stay in Smoke Wave Prefecture forever.

But following Mr. Han, if he can resolve the current chaotic situation in Smoke Wave Prefecture, you and I will both be meritorious.

Most importantly, Mr. Han is generous and will not treat his own people unfairly.

I just led the way and could get six hundred merit points; although this is Mr. Han buying horse bones for a thousand gold intentionally, he won’t treat you badly either."

Zhang Yan was no fool; he was not overly moved just because Han Zheng offered some benefits.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

He knew that Han Zheng’s generosity was because he was buying horse bones for a thousand gold, doing it intentionally for others to see.

Because he was the first to follow Han Zheng, he got such treatment.

But does that matter? After all, he was reaping real benefits.

Having accepted Han Zheng’s favors, his interests within Smoke Wave Prefecture aligned with those of Han Zheng.

If Han Zheng won, he would thrive and prosper with limitless prospects.

Han Zheng was defeated, and as the first person to follow Han Zheng, he was bound to be ostracized within Smoke Wave Prefecture in the future.

Therefore, Zhang Yan was even more eager for Han Zheng to succeed, and spared no effort at this moment to speak for Han Zheng, boosting the others’ confidence in him.

Just then, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted from Five Elders Mountain, so loud that they could hear it even from afar.

The next moment, a brilliant blaze of light soared from Five Elders Mountain, instantly brightening the eyes of Zhang Yan and the others.

"Brothers! Mr. Han has succeeded! Let’s charge in!"

The Xuanjia Guard immediately exploded with their maximum speed, urging their boats towards the interior of Five Elders Mountain.

At this time, inside the stronghold.

The faces of those Red Flag Thieves present were filled with hesitation and fear.

Li Tianbao wanted them to kill Han Zheng?

Suddenly, no one dared to step forward.

The killing power of Han Zheng’s Earth Splitting Fist earlier was simply too great, unimaginably strong.

Li Tianbao was severely injured in a single encounter, looking extremely miserable. Wouldn’t they instantly be killed if they went forward?

Still, a few of Li Tianbao’s confidants clenched their teeth and charged forward.

But these people were only at the Innate Realm, not even at the Peak of Innate Transcendence.

Casually, Han Zheng summoned a Sword Gang with his Autumn Water Surprised Swallow Saber in hand.

The few Red Flag Thieves, working together, tried to resist, but in almost an instant, both their weapons and Protective Gang Qi were completely torn apart.

Seeing this, the other Red Flag Thieves immediately ran towards the outside of the stronghold.

Han Zheng was certainly too strong to be an opponent; they definitely needed to activate the array and the Siege Crossbow as soon as possible.

"Did I let you leave?"

With a swift movement, accompanied by the roaring sound of raging wind and thunder, the fastest escaping Red Flag Thief was immediately beheaded.

The onlookers hardly even saw Han Zheng’s figure clearly before the man’s head had fallen!

Li Tianbao roared, "Idiots! Charge! Even if Han Zheng has extraordinary abilities, can he instantly kill hundreds of us?"

Han Zheng couldn’t kill hundreds of people, but indeed, those who rushed forward first were almost certainly destined to die.

This group of Red Flag Thieves under Li Tianbao was actually of very moderate level.

Except for their geographical advantage at Five Elders Mountain being considered perfect, their inherent quality and level were incomparable to the Blood Wolf Thieves.

The Blood Wolf Thieves were truly desperate characters, ruthless and unafraid of death, treating their lives as if they were worthless.

Li Tianbao himself was just a cowardly guard dog, not a fierce criminal like Chou Jingxiao.

The recent strike of the Ape Demon Nine Transformations’ Earth Splitting Fist had been a direct blow to Li Tianbao’s courage, even deterring him from attacking first and wanting his subordinates to use their lives to deplete Han Zheng’s strength.

Seeing his subordinates hesitating to charge forward to their deaths, Li Tianbao fiercely grit his teeth, forcibly gathered the Gang Qi around his body, and attacked Han Zheng.

Holding a Fist Seal, accompanied by the roaring sound of a giant whale, Li Tianbao’s fist seal struck, and behind him, the Gang Qi vaguely formed the figure of a vast ocean giant whale, the momentum was quite grand.

Besides his mastery of sword skills, Li Tianbao was also proficient in a Xuan Gang Realm cultivation technique, known as the Giant Whale Sea Splitting Fist, with grand and powerful fist movements, boundlessly expansive.

However, Li Tianbao had been severely injured by the Earth Splitting Fist, his body covered in wounds, and at this moment, even the Gang Qi he gathered was not smooth; the giant whale’s phantasm behind him appeared somewhat blurred.

Although Han Zheng had exhausted eighty percent of his strength, his own foundation was immensely deep.

Facing the giant whale fist seal, Han Zheng also formed a Fist Seal, and among the Gang Qi behind him, the phantom of the Vajra Ming King with three faces and four arms emerged, the fire of fury seemingly igniting the Gang Qi.

Great Vajra Ming King Seal!

"Gang Qi Transformation!"

Li Tianbao’s face drastically changed.

How was it possible that Han Zheng, who was merely at the early stage of Xuan Gang Realm, had mastered the skill of Gang Qi Transformation?

With one seal, the Vajra Ming King’s tremendous strength directly tore the vast ocean giant whale apart.

Unable to help himself, Li Tianbao spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood; his viscera were shaken, and he suddenly felt a ripping pain in his meridians.

Han Zheng drew out the Autumn Water Surprised Swallow Saber, its razor-sharp blade shimmering like a pool of autumn water falling from the sky, magnificent and radiant yet filled with deadly intent!

Li Tianbao’s long saber had already shattered; his hands were filled with boundless Gang Qi that he transformed into a pitch-black Sword Gang, which he struck down, only to be directly smashed by Han Zheng’s saber.

The sharp blade penetrated his body; Li Tianbao spat out another mouthful of fresh blood and was directly sent flying, a vicious bloodstain also appearing on his chest.
