Chapter 251 251 I Don't Need Evidence!
Han Zheng, clad in the Purple Gold Sky Wolf Armor, strode forcefully into the government office.
The black Xuan Armor emblazoned with a life-like purple gold wolf's head, its eyes seemed to radiate a fierce light as it fixed its gaze on everyone present.
Yang Tianqi and the other Xuanjia Guards closely followed behind Han Zheng, their swords and blades drawn from their sheaths, like dark clouds pressing over the city, instantly filling the entire government office with a deadly aura.
Li Sancheng recognized Han Zheng at a glance and even rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Was this person really Han Zheng, his old friend?
Li Jingzhong and the others also could hardly believe their eyes as they looked at the armor.
They were aware of the rankings within the Demon Cleansing Bureau and clearly understood what the Purple Gold Sky Wolf Armor represented.
Demon Sweeping Captain!
A Demon Sweeping Captain who had the authority to garrison the State Mansion, command a battalion, and exercise the power of life and death!
Although Li Jingzhong knew his disciple was extraordinary, he did not expect Han Zheng to don the Purple Gold Sky Wolf Armor and become a Demon Sweeping Captain so soon.
Jiang Tai was even more relieved, grateful that he had established a good relationship with Han Zheng during his time in Black Stone County.
On the other hand, Qiu Tianying was somewhat frightened.
After Han Zheng left, Qiu Tianying had had some scheming thoughts.
With the Black Tiger Gang gone, the Song Family annihilated, and the Shen Family moved away, he wanted to vie with Jiang Tai for power.
But in the end, he suppressed his greed, considering his own age, and chose peaceful development instead.
Thus, in the aftermath, he cooperated with Jiang Tai in Black Stone County to divide the underground forces and maintained quite a good relationship with Li Sancheng and Li Jingzhong.
How fortunate it was that he had not been greedy back then, or today would have been his death day!
At this moment, Han Zheng did not immediately greet Li Jingzhong and the others but indifferently looked at Wang Kai.
Wang Kai lost the arrogant bravado he'd shown in front of County Magistrate Liu and others, his expression instantly becoming solemn, a heavy sinking feeling in his heart.
How had the Demon Cleansing Bureau's people arrived so quickly!
The next moment, Wang Kai squeezed a fawning smile onto his face.
"So it is the distinguished Demon Cleansing Bureau officers who have arrived. Black Stone County can finally be saved.
My Wang Family's strength is limited, we can only protect Black Stone County from the demons but can't completely exterminate them.
Now that you, the respected officers, have led the Demon Cleansing Bureau's elite here, you will surely be able to completely resolve the demon problem and restore peace to Black Stone County.
With demon chaos rampant throughout Jingzhou Prefecture, and Black Stone County secured under your presence, my Wang Family won't be shamed. It is time for us to support other areas."
While chuckling affably, Wang Kai was about to leave.
"Did I say you could leave?"
Han Zheng stared at Wang Kai as if looking at a dead man.
Wang Kai's complexion changed slightly, "With the Demon Cleansing Bureau's elites in Black Stone County, there is no need for my Wang Family to stay here, right?"
"Still trying to play tricks now? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
Han Zheng said coldly, "Your Wang Family has colluded with demons; that's quite the audacity!"
Wang Kai replied angrily, "Even though you are a Demon Sweeping Captain in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, you can't falsely accuse my Wang Family!
If it weren't for my Wang Family leading so many clansmen to resist the demons, Black Stone County would have fallen!
I must report this to the Family Head and seek justice from the Demon Cleansing Bureau!"
No sooner had the words fallen than Wang Kai moved swiftly, his Gang Qi exploding around him as he made to rush out of the government office.
"You refuse the toast only to drink a forfeit!"
With a cold snort from Han Zheng, a sound like the roar of thunder erupted around him. His form blurred into afterimages, and in an instant, he was in front of Wang Kai.
Overcome with shock, Wang Kai's Gang Qi burst out furiously.
But before he could even act, a loud bang was heard, and Wang Kai's protective Gang Qi shattered to pieces!
In a flash, Wang Kai was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against a wall.
Before he could react, Han Zheng appeared in front of him, stomping down fiercely on his chest with his foot!
The force of the stomp crushed Wang Kai's breastbone, causing him to spurt out blood.
Li Jingzhong and other Martial Artists who had reached the Innate Realm were incredibly shocked.
Wang Kai was an existence in the Xuan Gang Realm, and yet he couldn't withstand even one move from Han Zheng, getting beaten like a dead dog.
Both were in the Xuan Gang Realm, but Han Zheng was too overwhelmingly powerful, wasn't he?
"Facing death and still daring to be stubborn, it's sheer ignorance of life and death!
Do you, the Wang Family, not know your own usual conduct?
And you claim to help Black Stone County resist the demons; do you really have such good intentions?
How come the demons are so stupid that they can only attack the walls and not the gates?
And every time they attack, they're conveniently repelled by your Wang Family members but still come every day? Are they that obsessed with Black Stone County?"
The expressions on the faces of Liu Xuezhen and the others turned unsightly.
They were not fools; once or twice was okay, but they had begun to notice something was amiss with such frequent occurrences.
But what could they do even if they noticed?
Without giving the Wang Family the Demon Extermination Silver, those demons would break into Black Stone County and devour people in an instant.
Wang Kai, while spitting blood, forced himself to say, "You have no evidence! You're just slandering!"
"Evidence? I don't need it!"
The force beneath Han Zheng's foot seemed to increase gradually, as if he was about to crush Wang Kai's chest completely in the next moment!
"Are you going to talk or not?"
The look in Wang Kai's eyes turned to horror: "I'll talk! I'll talk!
It was the demons who took the initiative to contact our Family Head, willing to play along with our act, to bleed the city and the State Mansion dry.
Every day, the demons would come on time, until there's nothing left to squeeze from the town, then they'd move on to the next place.
The demons aren't really trying to break through the town's defenses, they're trying to help our Wang Family establish a name in Jingzhou Prefecture."
Han Zheng snorted, this was indeed a tactic of the Black Mountain Demon.
Eating people was never the Black Mountain Demon's goal; instead, it manipulated various forces in the Martial World, stirring chaos throughout Southern Mountain.
"Which demon is in contact with your Wang Family? What strength do they possess? How many of them are there?"
Wang Kai, while vomiting blood, said, "I don't know any of that, it's all handled by the Family Head and the demon.
I only know that the one attacking Black Stone County is a Great Demon named Lang Qiansui, who comes punctually every night to attack."
Han Zheng stared at Wang Kai, feeling that he indeed did not appear to be pretending.
Consorting with demons, naturally, the fewer people who knew, the better.
Wang Kai was indeed a powerful Manager within the Wang Family, a martial artist of the Xuan Gang Realm, but his knowledge was limited.
"Spare..."
Before Wang Kai could utter another word, Han Zheng exerted pressure under his foot, instantly bursting his heart, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
[After slaying a martial artist in the Early Stage of the Xuan Gang Realm, obtained nine hundred Qi Blood Essences]
The Xuan Gang Qi wrapped around Han Zheng's black boots remained unstained by even a drop of blood, shining as if brand new.
Turning to face Li Jingzhong and the others, Han Zheng smiled and said, "Teacher, Sancheng, it's been a long time."
The blood-soaked hall of the County Government was cleaned by people dispatched by the still dazed County Magistrate Liu.
Han Zheng, on the other hand, had Yang Tianqi and his men clean up the members of the Wang Family within Black Stone County.
As for how they were cleaned up, of course, no quarter was given.
"Thank you, Mr. Han, for your assistance. Otherwise, Black Stone County would have been in deep trouble."
County Magistrate Liu came over excitedly to express his thanks.
Belonging to the same Court department, County Magistrate Liu was even more excited to see Han Zheng than seeing his own father.
With the Demon Cleansing Bureau's people here, he finally didn't have to deal with the terribly vile martial artists any longer.
"Rest assured, County Magistrate Liu, I will naturally take care of that demon. As for the silver and goods extorted by the Wang Family, you can take them all back after they're counted."
Han Zheng didn't understand why the Black Mountain Demon wanted the Wang Family to squeeze out so much silver and supplies; normal demons preferred Blood Food over money.
But the Black Mountain Demon didn't need Blood Food; its plans were somewhat incomprehensible, yet it always managed to throw Southern Mountain into chaos.
Jiang Tai and Qiu Tianying also came over to greet him, their attitude bordering on fawning.
For them, someone of the Xuan Gang realm was already a master among masters, not to mention that Han Zheng was now the Demon Sweeping Captain whose power could easily crush them to death.
They wanted to make the most of the fact that Han Zheng still remembered them—otherwise, in a few years, they might not even qualify to see him.
Han Zheng, not overly arrogant, greeted them with an amiable demeanor, then took Li Sancheng and Li Jingzhong to the back courtyard of the County Government to catch up on old times.
What do you think?
