I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Su Wuming was beset by terrible misfortune, and those around him seemed to catch it too, but Han Zhen didn't really believe it.

Some, upon hearing of Su Wuming's various mishaps, subconsciously blamed their own bad luck on him.

It was just like Han Zheng a moment ago; he couldn't help but feel that Su Wuming had a sinister aura.

But on second thought, those piles of dishes were stacked so high that even if Su Wuming wasn't there, they might have fallen over at any moment.

Not dwelling on Su Wuming's troubles, Han Zheng returned to sifting through documents, hoping to uncover some clues.

Han Zheng spent five consecutive days poring over materials, dividing his time between the Guardian Storage and the cafeteria, to the extent that Yang Tianqi almost thought Han Zheng wanted to shift to a clerical position.

In those five days, Han Zheng had skimmed through all the documents he was permitted to see, but still found nothing.

Could it be that he needed to look even higher?

He wondered whether he could use Merit Points to access the information he wasn't allowed to consult.

Just then, Yang Tianqi suddenly called for Han Zheng.

"Brother Han, Lord Wen has summoned you. It seems he has a task for you," he said.

Han Zheng stepped out of the Guardian Storage and asked, "Do you know what the task is?"

Yang Tianqi shook his head, "I don't know, but it must be somewhat onerous.

The Demon Cleansing Bureau has been rather busy lately. Even Brother Ye and the others, barely recovered from their injuries, have been dispatched for missions.

Almost everyone ranked highly in strength has been sent out."

Han Zheng nodded and made his way into Wen Tingyun's study.

To his surprise, there was another person in the study—it was Su Wuming.

Wen Tingyun handed Han Zheng and Su Wuming each a piece of paper.

"The task assigned to you two is simple and consists of just two words, 'Annihilate them!'"

A chill flashed across Wen Tingyun's eyes, but his voice was eerily calm.

"Last time, Han Zheng, you reported on the situation regarding the Black Mountain Demon. Elder Xu had already conducted an overt investigation, and the results were shocking.

Over the years, the Black Mountain Demon has indeed been active in the shadows, and although its physical manifestation has yet to appear, it has secretly colluded with numerous Martial World factions.

None of these factions are particularly powerful, but should the Black Mountain Demon resurface, they would become its minions.

Therefore, the Demon Cleansing Bureau has decided—to deal with these Martial World factions that dare to collude with the Black Mountain Demon—we will take no chances. It is better to kill them in error than to let them go!

Whether they are truly in league with the Black Mountain Demon or misled by it, we will make no distinctions—all must be eliminated!

Usually, such annihilation tasks are undertaken by multiple people, but the Bureau is currently short-staffed, so you two have been chosen to act, one target per person.

Currently in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, you two are among the best in combat and capability. I trust you will complete this task.

The documents in your hands contain information on your respective targets. Within half a month, completely resolve them.

If you can root out the Demons colluding with them, all the better, but it's not essential.

The primary objective of this mission is to send a strong message to the Martial World of Southern Mountain, to show them the consequences of colluding with Demons!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Han Zheng and Su Wuming turned and left.

Upon leaving the study, Han Zheng intended to greet Su Wuming, but the latter turned and walked away immediately.

It wasn't that Su Wuming was arrogant, but rather he knew that his bad luck was innate, and anyone who came into contact with him would suffer misfortune; it was better, then, to keep his distance.

Han Zheng didn't mind, glanced at the information on the paper, and then set out directly.

Wen Tingyun's target for Han Zheng was the Feng Family of Xilin County.

Xilin County, under the jurisdiction of Kai Ping Prefecture, was a moderate-sized town, definitely bigger than Black Stone County.

The Feng Family could be considered the dominant force in Xilin County, the strongest among the local Martial World powers.

The Feng Family wasn't large in number, but their strength was formidable.

All five brothers of the Feng Family were at the Perfect Innate level, among them the eldest brother, Feng Jingyuan, had even reached the Half-step Xuan Gang Realm.

Han Zheng feared no one in a one-on-one fight. As long as Feng Jingyuan hadn't reached the true Xuan Gang Realm, Han Zheng was confident he could face him head-on and slay him.

However, Han Zheng had to be cautious not to get caught in an ambush.

Truthfully, with Han Zheng's current strength, even a true ambush wouldn't intimidate him.

Yet, as long as the enemy was not foolish, realizing they were outmatched would inevitably lead to their escape.

But Han Zheng was tasked with annihilating them, and if too many escaped, his mission would be considered a failure.

That's why such extermination tasks were usually carried out by several people.

Now, with only Han Zheng alone, he had to give the matter some serious thought before taking action.

Five days later, Han Zheng rode his horse to Black Stone County. Before entering the city, he changed out of the Demon Cleansing Bureau's Xuan Armor and into the short black clothes most commonly worn by those in the Martial World.

Black Stone County was neither large nor small, but because it was located near the junction of two State Mansions, it was quite prosperous.

On his first day in Black Stone County, Han Zheng didn't do much. He simply took a stroll around the entire county city and conveniently locked onto the trace of a member of the Feng Family.

Feng Jinglin, the fourth child of the Feng family who was in his twenties, was known for his arrogance and extravagance, with a particular fondness for spending lavishly in brothels.

He was the one among all the disciples of the Feng family who liked to go out the most, making it quite easy for Han Zheng to catch his trail.

At this time, in Yichun Courtyard, the largest brothel in Black Stone County, Feng Jinglin, surrounded by women and reeking of alcohol, pointed at the brothel keeper.

"Madam Li, Yue Qin should be available to entertain guests today, right? If you keep hiding her, I'm really going to get angry."

Madam Li shivered slightly and said with a forced smile, "Please forgive me, Lord Fourth. It's not that I won't let Yue Qin see customers, but she has already been reserved by Young Master Liu and is almost ready to leave the brothel. It wouldn't be proper at this point to let Yue Qin accompany you."

"Cut the crap! Today, I want Yue Qin to serve me!"

At this moment within the brothel, a young master strode over with an unpleasant expression, "Feng Jinglin, what do you mean by this?

I've already paid the betrothal money for Yue Qin. Your actions amount to outright robbery!"

Feng Jinglin pushed away the two women, walked over to Young Master Liu with a grin, and lightly slapped the other party's cheek, an act filled with humiliation.

"What do I mean? Today, I want to sleep with your woman! Do you understand what I mean?"

Feng Jinglin's expression suddenly darkened as he spoke coldly, "And you don't have the right to call me 'Feng Jinglin' either! Address me as Lord Feng!

Times have changed. Even that old geezer from your Liu Family wouldn't dare to talk back to me in such a loud voice!"

Young Master Liu's face turned red with restraint, but he didn't dare to make a move.

Feng Jinglin sneered contemptuously and gestured to Madam Li, "Now do you understand who has the final say here? Hurry up and make the arrangements?"

"Lord Fourth, please wait a moment, I'll arrange it right away."

Feng Jinglin laughed heartily as he climbed the stairs, while the people around started whispering among themselves.

"Damn, Feng Jinglin is acting all high and mighty now. What audacity!"

"Who wouldn't if they had the power? Each of the five brothers of the Feng family has reached the Perfect stage of the Innate Transcendent Realm and mastered the Water and Fire Immortal Clothes. Especially the eldest of the Feng family, who's now a half-step into the Xuan Gang Realm.

He even killed the Gang Leader of the Sky Wolf Gang with a single strike of his Gang Qi. He's practically unmatched among his peers."

"What kind of crazy luck did the Feng family come across recently for their strength to surge so dramatically?"

The crowd chattered with each one offering their own opinion, but no one could figure out the reason behind it.

Previously, the Feng family's strength in Black Stone County was only passable, with only the eldest brother being at the Perfect stage of the Innate Transcendent Realm.

Within less than half a year, however, the other four brothers of the Feng family had all reached the Perfect stage of the Innate Transcendent Realm as well, and the eldest had even advanced to the Half-step Xuan Gang Realm.

Half-step Xuan Gang Realm meant that one had already touched upon the threshold of Gang Qi and could forcibly condense True Qi into Gang Qi.

With this step, there's hardly any difference from the Xuan Gang Realm; it only takes time to completely transform True Qi into True Yuan to enter the Xuan Gang Realm.

Therefore, it was almost a certainty that the eldest of the Feng family would attain the Xuan Gang Realm in the future.

With the sharp rise in the Feng family's power, they nearly monopolized Black Stone County.

In less than half a year, the other forces in Black Stone County were suppressed to the extreme.

Scenes like the one before had happened not just once, and yet all the families could only feel angry but dared not speak out.

At this moment, Feng Jinglin, drunk and giddy, was ascending the stairs, his heart ablaze with thoughts of Yue Qin.

This girl was fair-skinned and beautiful, with an exotic allure, and Feng Jinglin had been coveting her for a long time.

He pushed open the door to find the room filled with ambiguous, pink gauze curtains.

Closing the door, Feng Jinglin parted the curtains while chuckling, "Yue Qin, that Liu boy is just a silver spearhead that looks good but is useless.

It would be such a waste for you to give yourself to him for the first time. Don't worry; I will cherish you well."

As the gauze curtain was drawn, what came into view was not a delicate beauty but a young man sitting with a sword.

"You..."

Before Feng Jinglin could finish, the young man across from him flashed a wide grin, exposing rows of white, neat teeth.

The long sword sang a pleasant whistle as it suddenly unsheathed!

With the swiftness of wind and thunder, the autumn-water-like blade was upon him in an instant!

The Inner Strength within Feng Jinglin began to surge and burst out instinctively.

But the eyes of the man before him suddenly turned pitch black.

A fearsome demon king with two horns appeared out of nowhere, opening its maw to let out a silent, piercing shriek.

It was as if Feng Jinglin saw the Abyss Hell itself. The nightmarish visions exploded into being, causing his Mental State to collapse suddenly.

After the blade passed, Feng Jinglin's head was instantly severed, held in the hands of the young man.

The headless corpse did not immediately collapse, but after a moment, it sprayed out a gush of fresh blood.
