I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Yan Xuankong casually threw out a Dan Sea Realm cultivation technique, which could be said to be quite generous.

However, for someone of his level, a Dan Sea Realm cultivation technique was indeed not something too precious.

After Han Zheng digested the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique for a moment, he took a deep breath and asked, "What is the relationship between this technique and the Blood Demon Escape Shadow Technique?"

Previously, when chasing the Blood Wolf Thieves, Chou Jingxiao had used the Blood Demon Escape Shadow Technique; its speed was indeed astonishingly fast, but the cost was also great.

"Although both are cultivation techniques of the Blood Demon Sect, they aren't really related; they belong to two different systems.

Rest assured and cultivate well; the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique isn't as extreme as the Blood Demon Escape Shadow Technique; it consumes just some Qi Blood Power, which is within your tolerance.

You, lad, seem strong and healthy; you probably won't miss that bit of Qi Blood Power."

Han Zheng carefully studied the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique and found that it indeed differed from the Blood Demon Escape Shadow Technique.

The Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique primarily involved burning Qi Blood Power to envelop oneself, making the body appear fleeting like a flash of light, suitable for short-distance surprise attacks or escaping the battlefield.

It couldn't match the Blood Demon Escape Shadow Technique in terms of long-distance speed, and it couldn't even beat Wind and Thunder Nine Transitions for long-distance traveling.

After all, Wind and Thunder Nine Transitions only consumed True Yuan, while the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique consumed Qi Blood Power.

Although short-distance consumption wasn't too much, the Qi Blood Power consumed in long-distance running was extremely astonishing, which was not very cost-effective.

Han Zheng spent half a day memorizing the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique, then got ready to act.

He did not use the Taotie Furnace to increase the Skill Level of the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique.

This technique was only meant to save his life at critical moments; mastering the basics was enough.

"Kid, remember this, don't be greedy; the things in Thousand Buddha Village have a strong allure to the outside world, like that Eternal Youth Spring.

But behind this allure lies a cost you can't imagine—control your Mental State and don't fall deep into it."

Yan Xuankong reminded him with a serious expression.

For over sixty years, he had only waited for a Han Zheng, hoping to leave this cursed place with Han Zheng's help, so he didn't want any accidents to befall him.

Han Zheng nodded, "Don't worry, Sir Yan, I've been through it and won't be affected by such things."

After seeing Yuwen Xizhen, even if Han Zheng were dull, he knew that power too easily gained came at a price.

After Yan Xuankong told Han Zheng the location of the little girl's home, Han Zheng directly left the Stove God Temple.

Watching Han Zheng's departing figure, Yan Xuankong's face remained calm, yet he suddenly let out a soft sigh.

Once out of the Stove God Temple, Han Zheng once again felt that sinister presence assaulting him.

The entire Thousand Buddha Village, only the Stove God Temple could be considered safe.

Han Zheng tread carefully along the alleyways of the village, even afraid to exert a trace of Gang Qi.

According to what Yan Xuankong had said, most of the houses in Thousand Buddha Village were quite safe, just like the one previously stripped of the Eternal Youth Spring.

As long as you didn't enter their courtyards to provoke them, you usually wouldn't encounter trouble.

However, there was also a part of the people, like that butcher, who wandered within the village and were extremely aggressive.

When encountering such individuals, one could only consider oneself unlucky and retreat to the Stove God Temple until they left.

Han Zheng's luck was relatively good; he didn't encounter any monsters like the butcher.

The little girl's home was located at the center of Thousand Buddha Village, a very small courtyard, decrepit and in disrepair. From inside came a 'snoring' sound, along with a wisp of an oddly enticing fragrance.

Smelling that fragrance actually aroused Han Zheng's appetite, making his stomach grumble.

With a slight frown, Han Zheng suppressed the inexplicable appetite that rose within him and peeked over the low wall into the courtyard.

Han Zheng only saw the entire courtyard filled by a colossal ball of flesh; it was almost a ten-yard sphere, and one had to look closely to spot where its head was.

The creature's legs had sunk into its flesh, with only its disproportionately large arms visible, now grabbing handfuls of food and shoving them into its mouth, munching loudly with guttural noises.

Upon examining the food closely, Han Zheng immediately felt a wave of disgust.

There was also a Buddha statue in the courtyard, skinny as a rake but with a belly as big as a ball, cradling a giant bone basin in its hands, which was constantly producing all sorts of foods with a strange yet irresistible fragrance.

The reason Han Zheng refrained from calling these items "food" was that he couldn't bring himself to think of them as such!

The assortment emerging from the basin included maggots, rotten flesh, bizarre monster heads, and even severed limbs and body parts. The sight was nauseating, yet they emitted a fragrance that was almost irresistible, even Han Zheng could barely suppress his urge.

At this moment, these repulsive items were being grabbed and chewed by the fleshy orb, creating a scene of ghastly intensity.

Suppressing his nausea, Han Zheng searched the courtyard for pieces of the Stove God Temple statue, only to discover that the statue had been shattered into over a dozen pieces, lying at the feet of the eerie Buddha statue, causing Han Zheng to furrow his brows.

The Buddha statue was holding a basin from which the food kept emerging, and the flesh sphere could easily reach it.

Likewise, if he attempted to snatch the Stove God Temple statue's fragments, the creature could easily extend its hand towards him.

Although the fleshy orb didn't seem to have any attacking prowess, Han Zheng didn't dare to gamble on that.

After observing for a moment, Han Zheng decided to take action.

There was only one chance to escape, and without taking a risk, there was no other way.

Seizing the moment when the fleshy orb was tossing food into its mouth, Han Zheng's body shone with a crimson brilliance, and in an instant, he transformed into a Blood Shadow, appearing beside the bizarre Buddha statue.

With a single clasp of his hand, Gang Qi swept up all the fragments into his Qiankun Bag, and Han Zheng turned to leave.

But just then, a strong suction force came from the strange Buddha statue.

Even though Han Zheng had used the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique, he was forcibly pulled back by that suction force!

Han Zheng's face suddenly changed.

He had never seen the Buddha statue attack anyone before, and Yan Xuankong had never mentioned this aspect.

At that moment, the fleshy orb also noticed Han Zheng's action and let out a deafening roar, its enormous arm-like columns fiercely slamming towards Han Zheng, with the powerful force of the blow whistling through the air and a tremendous pressure crashing down!

Previously, the orb's movements were sluggish, but now they were swift and fierce.

The Qi Blood Power around Han Zheng's body suddenly erupted, pushing the Dragon Elephant Prison Suppressing Power to its limit.

At the same time, Buddha Light and Demonic Energy violently intertwined around him, his power surged, and with a step, he tore open a crack in the ground.

Only with such immense power did Han Zheng manage to sidestep by a hair's breadth, dodging the huge fist that resembled a flesh column.

But in the next moment, the orb's giant hand reached straight for Han Zheng.

From his hand, the Autumn Water Shocking Swallow Saber unsheathed, condensed Blood Slaughter energy, and the Avici Path Asura Slash fell.

Yet, the slash, potent enough to cleave open the Gate of Hell, only left a shallow wound on the enormous hand, doing nothing to impede its movement.

Seeing the massive hand about to strike, Han Zheng clenched his hand in the void and used Moving Mountain, a giant Gang Qi hand directly blocking the orb's hand.

But with the orb's forceful squeeze, the Gang Qi hand was crushed in half!

Seizing the opportunity, Han Zheng suddenly turned around, his body's Gang Qi converging explosively, his Qi Blood Power boiling and burning, and his strength reaching its apex, he hurled a punch at the strange Buddha statue!

Ape Demon Nine Transformations, Earth Splitting!

With this punch, Han Zheng unleashed almost eighty percent of his True Yuan, using the strongest capability of Earth Splitting since he had mastered it.

This monstrous flesh orb was essentially unkillable; engaging it here would only lead to being worn out to death eventually.

Rather than striking with full force at the creature, it was better to see if he could shatter the eerie Buddha statue, break free, and escape.

Han Zheng was gambling that the key to Thousand Buddha Village lay not in the mutated villagers, but in these eerie Buddha statues!
