I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 333: Killing Calamity

Han Zheng was momentarily stunned when he heard these words.

The entire Fire Cloud Valley was enveloped in a killing calamity?

But this was Fire Cloud Valley, one of the Five Families and Seven Sects, which also housed the Divine Weapon Thousand Mechanism Transformation. Who would dare to cause trouble here?

Wan Zhongshan also heard what Lian Sheng had said and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Master Lian Sheng, are you truly sensing a killing calamity enveloping Fire Cloud Valley?"

If this killing calamity only involved one person, it might be due to revenge or some such matter.

But if the entire Fire Cloud Valley was shrouded in a killing calamity, then something major was definitely about to happen!

Lian Sheng nodded, then shook his head, "This humble monk first entered Fire Cloud Valley and felt a dense aura of weapons and killing intent, similar to a killing calamity but not exactly the same.

This humble monk naturally has a sensitivity to killing calamity due to personal reasons, but it is not premonition.

So initially, this humble monk did not dare to confirm and thought it was because the valley is always engaged in weapons forging and artifact refining, so the weapons naturally carry a weapon's killing intent, which affected my perception.

It wasn't until Gongyang Qu left just now that I felt the strength of his killing calamity weaken considerably. It was then I confirmed something was amiss in Fire Cloud Valley."

Wan Zhongshan furrowed his brows tightly and asked, "So, Master Lian Sheng, you can sense the killing calamity on everyone?"

Lian Sheng nodded, "In this world of cause and effect, those who sow good causes reap good effects, and those who sow evil causes reap evil effects. Most people in the Martial World are engaged in endless vendettas, absolutely shrouded in a killing calamity.

However, this strength of killing calamity is not too strong, at least it is not likely to erupt in the near future.

The last time I reminded Mr. Han to be cautious about the killing calamity, it was because the intensity of the calamity suddenly surged.

Right now, almost everyone within Fire Cloud Valley is shrouded in a killing calamity, with only Gongyang Qu, who has just left, weakened.

Of course, Mr. Wan, please also do not take this humble monk's words as evidence to prevent the Weapon Casting Conference from taking place.

Cause and effect are constantly changing.

One moment you may be in the midst of a killing calamity, but in the next, it may inexplicably disappear without your knowledge."

Saying this, Lian Sheng pointed to the Skyfire Melting Furnace in Fire Cloud Valley and said, "For instance, if next, this Skyfire Melting Furnace were to explode due to a mistake in forging, then you and I would be in the midst of a killing calamity.

But if the Weapon Casting Master could rectify that mistake, in the next moment, the killing calamity would dissipate into nothingness.

Therefore, cause and effect are impermanent, and all this humble monk can do is to remind everyone to be careful and to make preparations."

Wan Zhongshan took a deep breath as he understood Lian Sheng's meaning.

Cause and effect are impermanent and change is constant; even if you know a killing calamity is imminent, it's no use.

Lian Sheng could only sense the killing calamity, but couldn't see the cause of it.

In such times, aside from being cautious, there was nothing else to be done.

Even more so, rash actions might just make the outcome even worse.

Besides, with so many major sects here for the Weapon Casting Conference, Wan Zhongshan had no authority to ask Refining Blade to halt the conference.

And certainly, no one from the other factions would flee Fire Cloud Valley in panic over Lian Sheng's inexplicable sensations.

Wan Zhongshan called over a Xuanjia Guard and instructed him to immediately return to Qianjiang Prefecture to call for reinforcements, to be prepared for the unforeseen.

Han Zheng closed his eyes and sat in meditation, keeping himself always at his peak.

Since cause and effect are unpredictable and the killing calamity undiscoverable, as Lian Sheng said, one could only make preparations.

But Han Zheng was still very curious about who would dare make a move at Refining Blade in Fire Cloud Valley, one of the Five Families and Seven Sects, and especially at a time like the Weapon Casting Conference when all the experts from major sects were gathered.

Suddenly, Su Wuming spoke up, "Could it be the Black Mountain Demon has returned with a vengeance?"

The smile on Lian Sheng's face stiffened for a moment before he said with a bitter smile, "Benefactor Su, please don't joke. If the Black Mountain Demon has returned, it would no longer be a killing calamity but a death calamity."

After all, the Black Mountain Demon was a Demon King of the Yang God Realm, commanding a myriad of powerful demons and human clan experts.

If the Black Mountain Demon himself were to come, even with Divine Weapon Thousand Mechanism Transformation in Refining Blade, they might not be able to withstand the threat.

As they spoke, the duel on the stage had already concluded.

This time it was Xiao Qiushui who took action, facing off against a martial artist from the Xuanyang Martial Sect in the Xuan Gang Realm.

Xiao Qiushui had a great reputation, but his performance was lackluster.

With just one spear thrust, he directly pierced through his opponent's protective Gang Qi, with the tip of the spear stopping directly at the opponent's throat.

Han Zheng merely glanced casually, but unexpectedly, the fight had already ended with that single gaze.

The crowd present was also somewhat agitated.

Only a little over twenty contestants remained, and those who could stay were all exceptional characters of the first rank, yet Xiao Qiushui was still able to defeat an opponent with a single move—a truly terrifying display of strength. fгeewebnovёl.com

"What a fierce spear thrust!"

Su Wuming suddenly exclaimed.

Not many martial artists could surprise Su Wuming, and Xiao Qiushui was one of the few.

What Su Wuming didn't know was that Xiao Qiushui had also been shocked by Su Wuming's formidable combat power.

The subsequent matchups weren't very interesting, as their abilities were far inferior to those of Xiao Qiushui and Su Wuming.

In fact, those who remained were all outstanding characters of the younger generation.

However, among these people, the levels of strength varied significantly.

Actually, the likes of Song Xingyuan and Lin Qing were fully capable of advancing to the third round, but unfortunately, they ran into some bad luck facing Han Zheng and Su Wuming.

Next was Han Zheng's turn to take the stage. His opponent was an old acquaintance, the heir of the Pang Family from Xiling—Pang Wanchun.

The Xiling Pang Family's strength was ranked towards the bottom among the Five Families and Seven Sects, and Pang Wanchun, being in the middle stage of the Xuan Gang Realm, was a notch weaker than Han Zheng in terms of strength.

His progress to this stage was actually due to good fortune—if the opponents of Song Xingyuan and Lin Qing had been him, they probably would have advanced earlier.

"Brother Pang, long time no see. I didn't expect that today we could have a bout on the stage," Han Zheng remarked with a smile that wasn't really a smile as he looked at Pang Wanchun.

Pang Wanchun's face was filled with bitterness, cursing his bad luck internally.

Why did he have to encounter a monster like Han Zheng!

He was no match for him even back in the Innate Realm, to say nothing of now that Han Zheng had reached the peak of the Xuan Gang Realm.

Moreover, Han Zheng's combat achievements were nothing short of staggering—he had even slain a Quasi-Master of the Dan Sea Realm. Was that something a human could achieve?

And there was Song Xingyuan from the Song Family, who resorted to using Blood Demon Hand as soon as he came up, shamelessly seeking victory only to lose in an even more embarrassing fashion.

What did he have to compare with Han Zheng? The length of their names? This was simply a joke.

Previously, Pang Wanchun harbored a competitive spirit, unwilling to admit defeat to Han Zheng.

But after seeing Han Zheng's current strength with his own eyes, Pang Wanchun was completely convinced, no longer daring to entertain the thought of contending with Han Zheng.

Han Zheng's level of power had advanced to a different class altogether, leaving only monsters like Xiao Qiushui fit to rival him.

"Brother Pang, make your move. I also want to witness the breakthrough you've achieved recently," encouraged Han Zheng.

Pang Wanchun replied directly, "There's no need to continue this round, I concede. Brother Han, we are old friends, and I'm well aware of your strength. I'm no match for you. Given that, what reason is there to continue fighting? Your upcoming opponents will certainly be stronger; no need to waste your energy on me."

Pang Wanchun's words sounded as though he had a great relationship with Han Zheng, concerned about Han Zheng wasting his energy as if it were his own.

But in reality, Pang Wanchun feared being beaten too humiliatingly.

By conceding directly and neatly like this, he could at least save some face.

However, most people could see that Pang Wanchun was afraid, so frightened that he didn't even dare to lift a hand.

Han Zheng's intimidating presence seemed to be even greater than they had imagined.

The subsequent rounds went by quickly, and only twelve remained after the third round concluded.

Among those who had reached this stage, only a few were lucky. The others all relied on their extraordinarily impressive strength.

Cen Xingzi did not delay, starting the fourth round immediately.

"Next match, Han Zheng versus Shen Congyun!"

As the two stepped onto the stage, the crowd below suddenly revealed strange expressions.

With these two facing off, it seemed there was an interesting show in store.

Previously, in Qianjiang Prefecture, Han Zheng had Shen Congyun's younger brother, Shen Conghai, thrown into prison, completely disregarding Shen Congyun's dignity.

At that time, Han Zheng had a tentative exchange of blows with Shen Congyun, who came out slightly worse for wear.

But that was just a probing exchange, and neither side had used their true power, so it didn't count for much.

Back then, Shen Congyun said that during the Weapon Casting Conference, they would have a proper match; unexpectedly, they really met this time.
