I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 287: The Majesty of Stealing Heaven
Du Songquan deeply regretted at that moment.
Originally, he had thought that dealing with a Luo Dao person would surely be as easy as pie, not only would it avoid offending Han Zheng, but it would also earn him some reputation.
Who would have imagined that the opponent's combat power would utterly exceed his expectations?
Has the Demon Cleansing Bureau always been battling demons of this caliber?
In an instant, Du Songquan felt like he understood the hardships of the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
Indeed, some large factions in the Martial World would also slay demons.
However, the core focus of these martial forces is not to slay demons, but to preserve themselves, to strengthen their own power, and to prioritize their interests above all.
They slay demons only because demons cause trouble within their territories, affecting their interests, or for the sake of their reputation.
Unlike the Demon Cleansing Bureau, which is utterly incompatible with demons, the situation is always fight to the death upon encountering them.
"Try using the Stealing Heaven Bow, this Luo Dao person has completely sacrificed his own flesh, and he can't even withstand such a level of power himself."
Yan Xuankong's voice resonated in Han Zheng's mind, rarely solemn.
With his vision and experience, he could estimate the power of other secret techniques and skills.
But he was unable to gauge this kind of power involving extraterrestrial evil forces, so he had to go all out.
Actually, without Yan Xuankong saying so, Han Zheng had already prepared to use the Stealing Heaven Bow.
The magnificently designed Stealing Heaven Bow, wrapped with the black jade Candle Dragon, was gripped in Han Zheng's hands, emanating a mysterious aura.
His hands formed a Seal Technique, as Han Zheng's Qi Blood Power suddenly surged and boiled.
That surging Qi Blood spread out, vaguely forming a Dragon Elephant Sky Chart behind Han Zheng.
At the same time, Han Zheng stimulated the Purple Blood Xuanyang Technique, and in an instant, that surging boiling Qi Blood ignited, turning into an extremely terrifying and powerful aura.
The secret technique of the Luo Dao person obscured the sun and the moon, and right now, the ignited Qi Blood around Han Zheng was the sole light within this darkness.
Yan Xuankong had discovered that the Purple Blood Xuanyang Technique could be combined with the Stealing Heaven Bow, but now Han Zheng merged the Dragon Elephant Sky Chart with the Purple Blood Xuanyang Technique, making its power even stronger.
Drawing the bow and placing an arrow, in an instant, a tremendous suction force came from the Stealing Heaven Bow—like a whale swallowing, it crazily absorbed Han Zheng's entire Qi Blood.
At the bowstring, an arrow made entirely of condensed extreme Qi Blood gradually materialized.
By the time the arrow had fully formed, at least half of Han Zheng's Qi Blood had been siphoned away!
At this time, in midair, the boundless black aura had already begun its descent, and the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth was being eroded.
Han Zheng suddenly released his grip, the sound from the bowstring like a dragon's roar, exploding abruptly!
Great sound is rarely heard, and at this moment, everyone's ears suddenly fell silent, as if heaven and earth had come to a standstill in that instant.
The crimson arrow burned with a dazzling Qi Blood Power, like a rainbow piercing the sun, tearing a vast crevice in the dark sky!
In midair, the Luo Dao person let out a harrowing scream.
The boundless darkness dispersed, and the massive body of the Demon Ape fell to the ground with its chest no longer harboring the contorted and strange heart.
The huge body began to melt, turning into a puddle of black liquid that merged into the ground.
This black liquid seemed to have immense corrosive power, even eroding a huge hole in the ground.
Han Zheng's complexion paled, retracting the Stealing Heaven Bow and letting out a breath.
Before, he thought he could shoot three arrows, but now it seemed he had overestimated himself; at most, he could shoot two.
But to think that slaying this creature didn't yield him any Demon Essence or Qi Blood Essence, could it be that the enemy's power came from extraterrestrial evil forces, sacrificing his own flesh and blood to these extraterrestrial demons, and therefore, he couldn't obtain Qi Blood Essence?
Du Songquan, standing by at this time, had his eyes wide open, staring at Han Zheng in shock.
He had been closest to Han Zheng just now, able to clearly sense the power of Han Zheng's arrow.
That had already surpassed the limits of the Xuan Gang Realm, and even a Quasi-Master of the Dan Sea Realm would probably not be able to withstand it!
Just being in the Xuan Gang Realm and possessing the power to threaten the Dan Sea Realm, Du Songquan felt even a little frightened of Han Zheng at this moment.
After all, Du Songquan had lived for over a hundred years, and he had seen many heroes and formidable figures in the Martial World.
Han Zheng, in terms of strength, temperament, or tactics, was incomparable to his peers, and even to the older generation of martial artists, it was difficult to match him.
His own generation's most outstanding, Fang Tingwei, when compared to Han Zheng, was simply rubbish!
Not to mention his lack of strength, his vision was small too, spending his days in the sect oppressing his junior brothers, full of schemes.
The current performance of Han Zheng even reminded Du Songquan of someone.
That person was Chen Baxian, the Garrison Commander who had risen rapidly after the disappearance of the previous Garrison Commander, Yan Xuankong, and had steered through the storms!
If before Du Songquan refrained from opposing Han Zheng simply because Han Zheng held leverage over him,
Now, even without that leverage in Han Zheng's hands, Du Songquan dared not make an enemy of him.
"Elder Du, I'll trouble you to help clean up the remaining demons,"
Han Zheng had expended more than half of his Qi Blood Essence and currently lacked the strength to fight any longer.
Of course, he could force himself to act, but that would risk the depletion of his Qi Blood.
The depletion experienced by Su Wuming and others was also significant; continuing the intense battle would risk their own overconsumption.
"Alright... Rest assured, Mr. Han, I'll take care of it now,"
Du Songquan immediately ran over to assist.
With the loss of Luo Daoren and Liu Xunqi, Du Songquan's strength was almost oppressive against the Xuan Gang Realm Great Demons and martial artists present.
Han Zheng looked at Du Songquan with a hint of surprise—he seemed to sense a slight change in Du Songquan's attitude towards him.
With Du Songquan's interjection, the demons within the Taishan Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau were eradicated within a quarter of an hour.
Moreover, following the deaths of Luo Daoren and Liu Xunqi, their mental states had collapsed and they had lost all will to resist.
"Brother Han, are you alright?"
Su Wuming, dragging his bloodstained Coiling Dragon Spear, came over and asked.
"It's nothing serious, just a bit of Qi Blood Essence consumed, but you seem to have overextended your Qi Blood Power," Han Zheng replied. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
While Han Zheng had only consumed more than half his Qi Blood Essence, Su Wuming's complexion was almost as white as paper, a clear sign of Qi Blood Power depletion.
"I'm fine too, I've grown accustomed to it,"
Su Wuming put away the Coiling Dragon Spear and swallowed a few elixirs to restore Qi Blood Essence. His energy pathways immediately began to circulate and digest the medicine, his proficiency almost heartbreaking to watch.
Han Zheng shook his head, "You're not fine, your body can't withstand such consumption.
There won't be any major fights after this, so there's no need for you to be busy. Go rest immediately and recover your Qi Blood."
With that, Han Zheng called over Ye Liuyun and Yang Tianqi to start a search throughout the whole Taishan Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau.
At this time, Yan Xuankong suddenly sighed, "Damn, how come Chen Baxian has such good luck?"
Han Zheng was slightly startled, "How is Garrison Commander Chen lucky?"
"When I was in charge of the Southern Mountain, why were all my subordinates mediocre types like Xu Cunbao?
Not to mention your freakish talents, Su Wuming has the Broken Army Fate Chart, definitely a great general's caliber for charging into battle and capturing flags.
Even without considering those who came from the Capital City, Ye Liuyun also has notable talent. The Ye Family in Fuyun Valley doesn't have many successes, but this kid's achievements in the future might even surpass his ancestors."
Yan Xuankong was somewhat jealous and felt singled out by fate.
If he had had so many capable soldiers under his command, he probably would have swept through the demons long ago, rising directly to the rank of Commander based on his contributions.
"Give it a rest,"
Han Zheng unapologetically said: "With your personality, even I would have had trouble rising to prominence under your command.
Su Wuming, plagued by bad luck—how could you take care of him? You would've found him troublesome and sent him off to some remote place early on.
Ye Liuyun's rise is also because the Demon Cleansing Bureau clearly rewards or punishes: he gets more resources within the bureau than from the Ye Family in Fuyun Valley.
When you were Garrison Commander, you took all the resources of the Southern Mountain for yourself; how could he have risen?
Old Yan, stop making excuses. Given the things you did back then, being nailed to the pillar of shame is putting it lightly.
It's already quite good that the authorities didn't strip you of your position as Garrison Commander and hold you to account."
