I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Han Zheng struck Hu Wenhui down with the force of thunder, affecting Fei Qingfeng as well.

His mind wavered, and Chen Jiuzhen immediately caught the flaw, spearing through his shoulder blade and pinning him to the ground.

With both leaders of the Lishan Sect defeated, the outcome was now set in stone.

"Tell your Lishan Sect people to surrender and stop this futile resistance," Han Zheng said indifferently to Hu Wenhui.

"In your dreams!" Hu Wenhui glared at Han Zheng, eyes nearly splitting with rage, and yelled, "I, Hu Wenhui, have practiced the sword since childhood, no less than any man. Eighteen years a Sect Leader's daughter, twenty-seven a Sect Leader's wife, death is but death, how can I speak of surrender?"

As her words fell, Hu Wenhui lunged straight toward Han Zheng's blade.

Han Zheng swiftly withdrew his sword, but Hu Wenhui struck her own heart meridian with her palm, instantly collapsing dead to the ground.

Han Zheng looked at Hu Wenhui's body in silence for a moment.

Though she was an enemy, this woman had proved to be fiercer than many men.

In a world where the victor becomes king and the vanquished is the outlaw, losing meant losing, yet she chose death over submission.

Fei Qingfeng, nailed to the ground, was far less resolute than his wife.

Seeing Chen Jiuzhen walking toward him with a face full of killing intent, Fei Qingfeng became instantly panic-stricken and pleaded, "Gang Leader Chen! Brother Chen! Spare my life!

I'll give you the explanation you want, that bastard Hu Dehai you can kill him if you wish, I've even thought about slaughtering him myself!

It was that woman Hu Wenhui who was stopping me, but now she's dead, you're welcome to exterminate the entire Hu family!"

Fei Qingfeng spoke the truth, he really did want to wipe out the entire Hu family!

Ever since marrying him, Hu Wenhui looked down on him, every decision he made had to go through her before being passed down.

Fei Qingfeng had tried to resist but to no avail.

In terms of strength, Hu Wenhui was even stronger than him; and in terms of status, the Lishan Sect originally belonged to her father.

The elders of the Lishan Sect were all brothers of the former Sect Leader, and they had all watched Hu Wenhui grow up.

The deacons of the Lishan Sect were Hu Wenhui's elder brothers in martial arts, having been infatuated with her since their youth, and naturally, they all listened to her.

Inside the Lishan Sect, Fei Qingfeng's words held less sway than Hu Wenhui's, and he had long harbored resentment.

And this crisis of the Lishan Sect was all caused by that bastard Hu Dehai.

He had told him to keep a low profile and always leave room for maneuver, but he refused to listen, remaining as a tyrant in the mines, ruthlessly killing at will.

Hu Wenhui even protected him, saying the position of Sect Leader by rights should belong to the Hu family, that Hu Dehai had a share in it too, that he had let Fei Qingfeng have it.

Did that waste Hu Dehai deserve it?

If someone like Hu Dehai, a weakling, could become the Sect Leader of the Lishan Sect, the Sect would sooner or later perish at his hands!

But Fei Qingfeng hadn't expected that, without becoming the Sect Leader, the weakling would still drag down the Lishan Sect!

"Sect Leader Fei, to this extent, you're still playing innocent, pushing all the blame onto the dead?" Han Zheng came over, disdain in his voice, "Your wife, although overbearing and arrogant, blindly defending her useless brother, had more sense of responsibility than you.

If you had shown sincerity towards the subordinates of the Black Water Gang after their deaths, you wouldn't have pushed Gang Leader Chen to the limit. Unfortunately, you did not.

You're not much better than Hu Dehai, equally disregarding those Black Water Gang members as human beings."

Fei Qingfeng wanted to argue, but Chen Jiuzhen had already thrust his spear down, impaling Fei Qingfeng straight through.

This was his way of showing his allegiance to Han Zheng.

By killing Fei Qingfeng, he could no longer turn back now.

The quality of the Lishan Sect disciples was not bad; with their superior numbers, they even started to overpower the forces of the Demon Cleansing Bureau and the Black Water Gang.

But as Hu Wenhui and Fei Qingfeng died, the disciples of the Lishan Sect instantly fell apart like a collapsing mountain.

"Mr. Han, how should we handle these Lishan Sect disciples?" Chen Jiuzhen asked respectfully.

Although he appeared rough, he was a smart man.

Seeing Han Zheng's strength and finally taking the step to sever ties with Martial World forces like the Smoke Wave Prefecture, he had completely sided with Han Zheng, and their attitudes toward each other should change now.

"Of course, leave it to your Black Water Gang to deal with," Han Zheng said lightly. "The Demon Cleansing Bureau does not participate in Martial World strife, I simply helped the Black Water Gang.

Hu Dehai has killed the innocent, find him and hand him over to me, bring him back to the Smoke Wave Prefecture for trial, and as for the other Lishan Sect disciples, Gang Leader Chen, you can deal with them yourself.

In fact, dealing with them was quite simple: kill a group, beat a group, and win over a group.

From then on, there was no more Lishan Sect in the Martial World; those disciples who were loyal to the Lishan Sect could be buried with it.

Those Lishan Sect disciples who were unwilling to submit to the Black Water Gang were thrown directly into the mines of Heavenly Fire Mountain to experience the taste of being mistreated.

And for those disciples who pledged allegiance to the Black Water Gang at the first opportunity, they had to be treated better—even better than they had been at Lishan Sect.

Only with such a comparison would those disciples who joined your Black Water Gang truly pledge their loyalty."

Chen Jiuzhen nodded, giving Han Zheng a somewhat surprised look.

This Han Zheng was so young; how did his mind work? And that stomach full of scheming and strategic thinking.

If he were to compete with him for power and profit within the same force, he was sure he wouldn't stand a chance.

At the same time, Chen Jiuzhen also felt grateful; Han Zheng had actually given him all of the Lishan Sect members without keeping anyone for himself.

This was simply providing the Black Water Gang with the opportunity for a drastic increase in power.

In reality, Han Zheng didn't keep them not because he didn't want to, but because keeping them was useless.

He belonged to the Demon Cleansing Bureau; keeping these Martial World disciples—was it so he could start a rebellion?

Moreover, Han Zheng wasn't sure how long he would stay in Smoke Wave Prefecture and saw no need to control so many low-level people from the Martial World.

All he needed was for Chen Jiuzhen to stand by his side at all times; Chen Jiuzhen was the only one he needed to control.

The disciples of the Black Water Gang went to take over the Lishan Sect and brought Hu Dehai along as well.

His sister and brother-in-law both died because of him, and the Lishan Sect was destroyed because of him.

Even though Han Zheng would have taken action even without Hu Dehai, the primary culprit at this moment was Hu Dehai.

At this point, Hu Dehai was almost scared out of his wits, desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Han Zheng couldn't be bothered to look at him in this state and directly ordered his public trial and beheading.

This guy wasn't a significant figure; there was no need to even report to Kai Ping Prefecture—question him today and behead him tomorrow.

Chen Jiuzhen, with the people from the Black Water Gang, took direct control of the Lishan Sect, and it took a good while before they completely stabilized the situation.

At the same time, Chen Jiuzhen also handed Han Zheng two Qiankun Bags, whispering, "Mr. Han, one contains half of the Lishan Sect's resources, and the other is the collection of the Fei Qingfeng couple, all here.

Especially the collection of the Fei Qingfeng couple, there should be nothing ordinary inside; I haven't touched a thing."

"Chen Gang Leader is thoughtful; the remaining items you can handle as appropriate."

Han Zheng nodded his satisfaction.

The Lishan Sect, being a sect that had developed over hundreds of years, certainly had an extremely substantial accumulation.

Those lower-level materials he could distribute to the people from the Demon Cleansing Bureau, while the collection of the Fei Qingfeng couple he would happily keep all for himself.

Han Zheng first checked the resources of the Lishan Sect; inside were over ten thousand Elemental Crystals, over a hundred elixirs, and more than six hundred sets of Medicine Baths.

Although the elixirs were low-level, they were already enough for Innate Martial Artists.

He threw the Qiankun Bag to Zhang Yan: "Distribute the items inside according to merits to the brothers."

Zhang Yan glanced at the contents of the Qiankun Bag and his eyes immediately reddened.

These were all valuable assets, intended for the use in cultivation by the three hundred plus disciples of the Lishan Sect over the coming months, but now they were to be shared among their fifty or so Xuanjia Guards; each one stood to make a fortune.

"Remember to share with the brothers who stayed behind in Smoke Wave Prefecture as well; they are guarding our home, not idling."

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhang Yan responded loudly.

Han Zheng then looked again at the collection left by the Fei Qingfeng couple, his eyes instantly lighting up.

More than ten small bottles, each filled with medium-grade elixirs.

There were also some thousands of crystal clear, pure Elemental Crystals.

These Elemental Crystals were of high quality and could be said to be high-grade Elemental Crystals, which Martial Artists of any attribute could directly absorb for cultivation or could be used as cores for the power of an Array.

Aside from these, there were some hidden weapons, replacement Weapons, and the like, all at the Mystical Weapon Level.

This time, not only did Chen Jiuzhen's Black Water Gang make a fortune, but he too reaped a bountiful harvest.

"Mr. Han, what should we do next?" Chen Jiuzhen asked.

"First, hold down the Lishan Sect. Those big sects will definitely not act immediately but will send someone to demand an explanation from you.

By the time they point fingers at each other and decide whether to act against you, they will have lost the best opportunity to do so.

At that time, I will have my arrangements ready and will inform you in advance."

After instructing Chen Jiuzhen, Han Zheng waved his hand, taking the ecstatic Zhang Yan and other Xuanjia Guards back to Smoke Wave Prefecture.
