I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 201 The Regretful Pei Xiuyuan

Han Zheng did not bring anyone else with him to East Mountain Valley.

A late-stage Xuan Gang Great Demon was merely something Han Zheng was confident he could handle alone.

Back when he was at the early stage of the Xuan Gang Realm, he had dared to kill the Dragon King of Smoke Wave Lake, not to mention that now he had reached the middle stage of the Xuan Gang Realm, his cultivation had increased significantly.

Zhao Jinhua led the way ahead, his mind filled with complex thoughts.

Initially, his attitude towards Han Zheng was not favorable, as he was a confidant of Pei Xiuyuan and believed that Han Zheng had stolen Pei Xiuyuan's position, thus he was quite hostile towards Han Zheng.

Later, Pei Xiuyuan kept trying to find trouble for Han Zheng and constantly opposed him, all of which Zhao Jinhua observed.

Including this trip to East Mountain Valley, though Pei Xiuyuan's main purpose was to exterminate demons, he also wanted to delay their return to the Resonating Demon Department after exterminating demons, hoping to wait for Han Zheng's failure.

The result? Zhao Jinhua heard that not only had Han Zheng not failed, but he had also wiped out the Lishan Sect and the Yue Family, thoroughly controlling the situation in Smoke Wave Prefecture.

At such a time, even if Han Zheng blatantly refused to rescue Pei Xiuyuan, letting Pei Xiuyuan die, no one could really say anything.

Thus, when Zhao Jinhua came to ask for Han Zheng's help, he was mentally prepared to show the utmost humility to beg Han Zheng to save his master, even if it meant being humiliated by Han Zheng or risking his own life to vent Han Zheng's anger!

Originally, Pei Xiuyuan had rescued him from a demon's clutches, and over the years, he had truly treated him as a confidant. Zhao Jinhua was long ready to give his life for Pei Xiuyuan.

As long as Han Zheng was willing to rescue Master Pei, he did not care if it cost him his life.

But unexpectedly, Han Zheng had just said four words and then followed him to save Pei Xiuyuan, something Zhao Jinhua had never anticipated.

At this moment, thinking about how he had been so hostile towards Han Zheng and tried to find various troubles for him, Zhao Jinhua felt somewhat inhuman, filled with guilt.

Zhao Jinhua was too slow, so Han Zheng directly picked him up and had him lead the way, reaching East Mountain Valley in one day.

East Mountain Valley was a rift between two gigantic mountains, not small in size, rich in resources, and often frequented by hunters.

Usually, there were demons, but they were inferior demons, so Pei Xiuyuan did not expect to encounter a Great Demon.

Zhao Jinhua pointed towards East Mountain Valley and whispered lowly, "Mr. Han, Master Pei and his group are trapped in the deepest part.

That adult Tiger Demon even has some traces of a Mountain Monarch; you must be careful."

In the forest, the tiger is king, and those demons comparable to the Dan Sea Realm of the Human Clan are referred to as Demon Lords.

Thus, when a Tiger Demon steps into the Dan Sea Realm, it is honored as Mountain Monarch.

"Mountain Monarch? It doesn't deserve such a title."

Han Zheng scoffed and stepped into the valley with Zhao Jinhua.

At this moment, deep inside East Mountain Valley, within a rocky cave.

Pei Xiuyuan leaned against the wall, covered in blood. He had three deep claw marks on his chest, still oozing blood, and his breathing was extremely weak.

There was also the body of a Xuanjia Guard on the ground, apparently just recently deceased.

Furthermore, two other Xuanjia Guards were also leaning there, similarly in a dire state.

"Alas, I wonder if Zhao Jinhua can make it back to Smoke Wave Prefecture to call for reinforcements."

A relatively younger Xuanjia Guard sighed heavily, his eyes full of a desire to survive.

Another older Xuanjia Guard gave a bitter smile and shook his head, not saying a word.

Pei Xiuyuan's eyes held a hint of despair as he also bitterly smiled, "Don't think too much. Even if Zhao Jinhua can make it back to Smoke Wave Prefecture, no one will come to rescue us.

Zhao Rongye is so slippery, how could he possibly take a risk to save me?

Moreover, that old codger has hardly any life force left; coming to save me would just be feeding that Tiger Demon."

"What if Mr. Han has already dealt with those Martial World Sects and comes to rescue us?"

The young Xuanjia Guard still held some hope.

Pei Xiuyuan shook his head, "Those powers in Smoke Wave Prefecture formed an alliance, united against the outside. If they were so easy to deal with, would they have waited until today?

Besides, even with Han Zheng at the Demon Cleansing Bureau, do you think he would come save me? Don't joke.

I have already offended Han Zheng to death; everyone knows I am dissatisfied and antagonistic toward him, always opposing him.

If he knows about this, he would probably applaud and happily wait for me to die here."

"Speaking of which," Pei Xiuyuan's eyes held a hint of regret, "I hadn't expected there to be two demons here. I was careless and dragged you all into this deadly situation with me.

Actually, when I sent you back to the Resonating Demon Department for reinforcements, I simply wanted to cover your retreat while I held the rear.

Mentions of reinforcements were just an excuse because I feared that you all would be stubborn like Zhao Jinhua with his wooden head and reluctant to leave.

However, I hadn't anticipated the tiger demon's strength to be so terrifying. Even with all my might, I could only block one of its claws and managed to let only Zhao Jinhua escape.

When the tiger demon comes again, I will burn my life force to fight it head-on. You should seize that opportunity to escape."

"Sir!"

Both Xuanjia Guards were visibly moved.

Although Pei Xiuyuan was narrow-minded and petty, he did one thing well—

He genuinely cared for his subordinates.

This was precisely why, even though Zhao Jinhua had already escaped, he was still willing to risk his life to beg Han Zheng for rescue, and even willing to return to this perilous situation.

Hearing the faint howling outside, Pei Xiuyuan's expression suddenly changed.

"The tiger demon is coming again!"

Regret flashed through Pei Xiuyuan's mind.

If only he had known, he wouldn't have competed with Han Zheng and landed in this predicament.

Outside the cave at that moment, deep within the mysterious forest, a gigantic tiger demon with a body length of about fifty meters slowly strode out. With every step it took, the ground rumbled and trembled as if quaking.

Its fur was not the typical mottled gold of usual tigers but a deep, dark red, like the most intense blood color under the setting sun.

The massive body of the tiger demon was muscular, and its eyes were neither the common amber nor emerald of ordinary tigers but a deep, dark gold, radiating a chilling and harsh evil Qi.

This was distinctly an unusual tiger demon, possessing the potential to ascend as a Mountain Lord.

Behind the huge tiger demon, there trailed a smaller one about ten meters in size.

Though referred to as smaller, its body was still more robust than most ordinary demons.

"These Human Clan ants are quite good at hiding."

The big tiger demon opened its crimson mouth and spoke human language, "Go, child, start the hunt. This prey is excellent. Kill them, devour their flesh and blood, and you should be able to grow quickly and ascend to a Great Demon."

The young tiger demon roared, its eyes flashing with bloodthirsty excitement, and charged toward the cave.

Pei Xiuyuan and the others did not choose to wait for death inside the cave but took the initiative to strike.

"Today, even if I die, I must knock out all your damned teeth!" Pei Xiuyuan exclaimed, burning his life force to attack the young tiger demon.

The young tiger demon had not yet reached Great Demon status, being at most at the peak of Innate Transcendence Realm.

But demons have robust physical bodies, and as this was an unusual tiger demon, it was stronger than ordinary demons.

Moreover, Pei Xiuyuan was also severely injured, and even with the other two Xuanjia Guards, they were gradually driven into a desperate situation by the young tiger demon.

The large tiger demon sat to one side observing, occasionally nodding in satisfaction.

The growth of demons does not rely on painstaking cultivation but on hunting!

The abilities of these Human Clan martial artists were decent enough to train its son.

With a flick of its tail, the young tiger demon's reddish-gold tail, like a steel whip, directly flung the two Xuanjia Guards, making them spit blood.

Then, with another sweep of its tail, it shattered Pei Xiuyuan's long sword. Its claws swooped down, aiming directly at Pei Xiuyuan!

At that moment, a Sword Gang filled with a chilling intent of death suddenly descended, razor-sharp, emitting a piercing shriek.

"Be careful, my child!"

The large tiger demon's expression changed abruptly. Its body lunged forward, its tail curling around the young tiger demon, while a palm tore through the Sword Gang, warily eyeing the surroundings.

Pei Xiuyuan watched in disbelief as Han Zheng strode forward, followed by Zhao Jinhua, whose face was filled with euphoria.

Han Zheng, he actually came to save me?
