I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

The self-proclaimed Dragon King of Smoke Wave Lake, the creature, was in utter misery at that moment.

Its chest had been torn open by a gigantic slash from the Avici Path Shura Slash, continuously spewing fresh blood.

Simultaneously, its left arm and shoulder had also shattered, with blood gushing out as well.

This injury had occurred during a confrontation with Liao Hongsheng a few days earlier and had not yet healed, and now the situation had worsened.

The creature's scale armor was nearly impenetrable and immune to both water and fire, forged from its own Innate Scale Armor through a secret technique.

Yet, in just a few days, it had been breached repeatedly.

"Can you speak now? Was Liao Hongsheng indeed killed by you?"

This creature was no coward like the Golden Spirit King.

Upon hearing this, a fierce light burst from its eyes, and its demon blood boiled and surged. With a fierce shout, dark light burst forth from its massive body, and its sharp claws suddenly smashed down toward Han Zheng!

"Obstinate fool!"

Han Zheng snorted coldly, forming the Great Vajra Ming King Seal with his hands, his vital energy boiling, Gang Qi skyrocketing.

Amidst golden radiance, a lifelike four-armed Ming King phantom appeared behind Han Zheng, forming Seal Techniques, and a massive Dharma Seal abruptly smashed down!

When the two collided, a violent roar erupted instantly.

The Vajra Ming King Seal required a tremendous amount of Gang Qi, and during the Innate Stage, even the phantom of the Ming King was extremely blurry.

Now, having reached the Xuan Gang Realm, this cultivation technique could finally unleash its true power, even directly transforming Gang Qi into shape to display the might of the Vajra Ming King.

The creature's arms trembled, and even fine blood traces appeared on its scale armor.

Han Zheng struck again with another seal, switching from defense to attack, immediately causing the creature to stagger.

With one hand gesturing in the void, he used the Moving Mountain from the Ape Demon Nine Transformations, a massive Gang Qi hand suddenly grabbed the creature and fiercely smashed it toward the ground!

Accompanied by a loud crash, the creature's already significantly damaged left arm from its earlier fight with Liao Hongsheng was completely shattered, fine blood traces emerged all over its body, and fresh blood continuously seeped from the seams of its scale armor.

It had already been burning its vital essence, and now, after receiving another Moving Mountain from Han Zheng, it was completely drained, its vital light extinguished.

Han Zheng walked up to the creature, his Autumn Water Shocking Swallow directly piercing into its right arm, causing it to howl in pain.

"Can you speak now?"

The creature faced Han Zheng with a fierce look, "This king won't say anything! You, this Human Clan's boy, are merely taking advantage of others!

Had it not been for my disabled left arm and damaged vital essence, killing you would have been as easy as flipping my hand!"

Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside.

A smaller creature, slightly taller than a normal adult, was gnawing on a human thigh and exclaimed in surprise, "Daddy, why has our cave collapsed?"

When it entered the cave and saw the scene, it immediately threw away the human leg and bared its teeth at Han Zheng, "Let go of my daddy!"

"Run! Run fast!"

The creature roared, but it was already too late.

Han Zheng smiled sternly, turning back and striking with the Great Vajra Ming King Seal.

Instead of fleeing, the little creature bared its teeth and lunged to bite Han Zheng.

But its strength was far too weak, only at the Early Stage of the Innate Realm, and it was directly smashed until its head was bloody by the Great Vajra Ming King Seal.

Han Zheng picked up the dying little creature, and approached it, stating calmly, "Can you talk properly now?"

"You are despicable and shameless!"

The creature ground its teeth in hatred.

It was said that demons were cruel, but this creature had stooped to using its own child to threaten itself, a deed even more despicable than the demons! Utterly devoid of any principles!

"Speak, or not?"

Han Zheng clenched the little creature's neck, slowly tightening his grip, and the creature immediately struggled.

"I'll speak! I'll tell everything!"

The creature, gasping for breath, glared venomously at Han Zheng, "I don't actually know if I killed Liao Hongsheng or not."

Han Zheng frowned and said, "Killed is killed, not killed is not killed, what do you mean you don't know?"

"I really don't know, I had a fierce battle with Liao Hongsheng last time, both of us were seriously injured, but he was still alive when I left. That sort of injury shouldn't have been fatal.

If I find out who the bastard is spreading false information, I swear I'll tear him apart!"

"What false information?"

The creature said hatefully, "A few days ago, someone threw a letter into my cave, claiming my son was captured by Liao Hongsheng, and the Demon Cleansing Bureau was going to take decisive action against me.

When I went out, sure enough, there was Liao Hongsheng, and we fought fiercely, both ending up severely wounded.

"When I returned, I found that my son had already returned to the cave. That bastard had been deceiving me!"

There was one more thing the Dragon King did not say.

If that bastard hadn't tricked him into fighting Liao Hongsheng resulting in mutual destruction, even if Han Zheng had attacked today, he wouldn't have lost so miserably, with both his and his son's lives in someone else's hands.

Han Zheng furrowed his brows tightly; this was the worst possible outcome.

Liao Hongsheng, indeed, had not been killed by demons. After a fierce battle resulting in mutual destruction with the Dragon King, someone else took the opportunity to strike, leading to Liao Hongsheng's death.

Moreover, this encounter between the Dragon King and Liao Hongsheng hadn't been accidental; someone had deliberately lured the Dragon King to fight Liao Hongsheng, intending to kill with a borrowed knife!

Seeing Han Zheng deep in thought, the Dragon King was about to say something when suddenly Han Zheng forcefully twisted, snapping the neck of the little Dragon King!

"You lack honor!"

The Dragon King struggled wildly, roaring furiously.

Han Zheng said indifferently, "When did I ever tell you that if you spoke, I wouldn't kill you?"

As his words fell, Han Zheng's Autumn Water Shocking Swallow appeared in his hand. With one swift slice, he decapitated the giant head of the Dragon King.

[Killed an Innate Realm Early Stage demon, obtained 500 Demon Essences]

[Killed a Xuan Gang Realm Late Stage demon, obtained 5000 Demon Essences]

Han Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

Killing demons indeed yielded great rewards. The Late Stage Xuan Gang Realm Dragon King was worth an astonishing five thousand Demon Essences.

Then, Han Zheng decapitated the little Dragon King's head as well, carrying both heads back to the shore.

Having killed two Great Demons, it was now getting dark over the water.

Zhang Yan was an honest person; He waited obediently as Han Zheng had instructed.

Truthfully, despite having witnessed Han Zheng's strength, Zhang Yan was still unsure.

The Dragon King self-proclaimed as the Smoke Wave Lake Dragon King, possessing terrifyingly formidable power.

Before Mr. Liao had arrived, even the Smoke Wave Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau had no one who could match him.

If anything truly had happened to Han Zheng, how would he explain it upon his return?

While Zhang Yan was lost in these wild thoughts, Han Zheng directly walked over water, carrying in each hand one large and one small, the heads of the two Dragon Kings.

Zhang Yan stared, dumbfounded, even rubbing his eyes.

"Sir…Sir, did you really kill the Smoke Wave Lake Dragon King?"

Han Zheng tossed the head onto the shore, disdainfully saying, "What Dragon King? Just a Dragon King, nowhere close to being an actual dragon."

"So, it really was this Dragon King that killed Mr. Liao?"

Zhang Yan looked at the still frightfully potent Demon-bearing head.

Han Zheng shook his head and said, "Mr. Liao indeed fought with this Dragon King, and they even ended in mutual destruction. However, he was not in mortal peril.

The real killer of Mr. Liao is someone else, likely the source of his other injuries.

First, let's take these heads back to Smoke Wave Prefecture, and we'll continue the investigation tomorrow."

"Yes, sir!"

Zhang Yan carried the heads and followed behind Han Zheng, feeling an inexplicable sense of excitement.

Though he had not killed these demons himself, both the Golden Spirit King and the Smoke Wave Lake Dragon King had been rampant in the region of Smoke Wave Lake for over a decade. Now, they had been killed by Han Zheng.

Even as just an assistant, Zhang Yan felt a sense of pride by association.

At that moment in the Smoke Wave Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau government office.

Pei Xiuyuan and Zhao Rongye, along with other leaders of the Golden Rune Team, were present.

"I was wondering why Han Zheng hadn't come back yet. He wouldn't really have gone to trouble those demons, would he?"

A slight mocking smile played across Pei Xiuyuan's face.

Zhao Rongye, however, looked somewhat worried. "Should we go check? It's Mr. Han's first time in office; hopefully, nothing has happened?"

The Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department had repeatedly failed to promote their own people from the Smoke Wave Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau, instead directly assigning two officials, clearly distrusting them.

If something were to happen to Han Zheng, the higher-ups might indeed start having negative opinions about the personnel from the Smoke Wave Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau, which Zhao Rongye was concerned about.

Pei Xiuyuan replied indifferently, "Look for what? He clearly said he didn't need our help. Why bother cozying up when he's given us the cold shoulder?"

While Zhao Rongye wanted to say more, a Xuanjia Guard suddenly hurried in to report.

"Mr. Han is back! And he's brought with him the heads of the Golden Spirit King and the Smoke Wave Lake Dragon King, the two Great Demons!"

"What!?"

Both Pei Xiuyuan and Zhao Rongye looked shocked as they abruptly stood up.
