I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 473: Ruthless as a Wolf, Heart of Stone

"But what does this have to do with me?"

Zhou Qiaonian and Liu Lingyun looked at Han Zheng in disbelief, not expecting him to say something like that.

Holding the Heavenly Demon Transformation, Han Zheng said expressionlessly, "Your love story is touching, truly moving, but does it concern me?

Publicly, Zhou Qiaonian's collusion with the Blood Demon Sect in the name of love, allowing them to plunder tens of thousands, draining their Qi Blood Essence, is an unforgivable sin!

Personally, how much merit is killing a traitor of Zhou Qiaonian's level worth? Zhou Qiaonian, after being a Garrison Commander for so many years, should know this better than I do.

Your touching romance doesn't excuse neglecting your duties, letting so many die. Do they deserve to die? Do they deserve to become nourishment for the Blood Demon Sect?

You lose love, and they don't lose lives?

A hero? More like a coward!

Zhou Qiaonian, you truly are old, without any vigor left.

You want to save Liu Lingyun, you could risk your merits accumulated over the years. Reporting to the Demon Cleansing Bureau, they would spare Liu Lingyun, at most stripping you of your position.

If you are afraid Liu Lingyun will be executed by the Demon Cleansing Bureau, even fighting a life-and-death battle with the Blood Demon Sect would earn you my respect.

Yet you want both your current status and your beloved by your side, choosing to compromise with the Blood Demon Sect, allowing yourselves to be manipulated by these weaklings nearly destroyed by the Demon Cleansing Bureau… Truly beneath even weaklings!"

If Zhou Qiaonian colluded with the Blood Demon Sect over power, over Life Span, although hateful, Han Zheng would still respect him more.

Instead, he is trapped by this ridiculous romantic tale, manipulated by the Blood Demon Sect, afraid of reporting to the Demon Cleansing Bureau, afraid to fight for his loved one, utterly cowardly.

At this moment, Yan Xuankong suddenly interjected, "Love is like a knife above the head, this feeling is even more tormenting.

Zhou Qiaonian was capable before but has now become foolish over a woman."

Meanwhile, Zhou Qiaonian was flushed with humiliation from Han Zheng's words.

"Han Zheng! I will kill you!"

Han Zheng scoffed, "Kill me? Just with your current self?"

Seeing Zhou Qiaonian about to act, Liu Lingyun quickly stopped him, "My lord! You can't act now!"

Zhou Qiaonian took a deep breath, saying gravely, "Lingyun, can't you see? This young Han Zheng, though young, is ruthless as a wolf, heart as hard as stone.

You and I are his meritorious records; how could he let us go?

If we don't kill him, none of us will leave today!

Use the Blood Exchange Technique, transfer some of your Qi Blood to me; today, this old man will fight him to the death!"

Liu Lingyun bit her lip, but seeing Han Zheng approaching, she infused countless blood mists into Zhou Qiaonian, reinvigorating his almost exhausted body.

However, Liu Lingyun was too weak, her Qi Blood Power incomparable to Ning Ziqi.

The Blood Demon Sect of the Heaven Net Martial Sect lineage also had Secret Techniques for creating Blood Sacred Sons and Blood Demon Saintesses, but they were never seriously cultivated.

Liu Lingyun could be said to have practiced the Secret Technique of the Blood Demon Saintess of the Blood Demon Sect, but not a true Blood Demon Saintess.

Absorbing Liu Lingyun's Qi Blood Power, Zhou Qiaonian's body ignited with intense golden flames.

With a roar, the Blazing Moon Blade slashed down again with tremendous power, the several hundred feet long Sword Light slicing through the air, mighty yet tinged with weakness.

Han Zheng formed the Great Brahma Heavenly God King Seal, a Brahma shadow appeared behind him, and the Fist Seal clashed with the Sword Light, instantly tearing the golden Sword Light apart.

"Resistance is futile. Master Zhou, perhaps dying in battle at the Demon Suppression Pass was the best choice."

Han Zheng gently shook his head, pointing a finger, unleashing the power of heavenly tribulation, erupting before Zhou Qiaonian.

Supreme Tribulation Sky Finger!

This finger pierced through Zhou Qiaonian's Protective Gang Qi, leaving a massive hole in his chest.

Zhou Qiaonian looked at the hole in disbelief before raising his head to look at Han Zheng.

Yet his eyes held not hate but liberation.

He cast an unwilling glance at Liu Lingyun before falling heavily to the ground.

[Slain a Yang God Realm Martial Artist, due to falling Realm, obtained 100,000 Qi Blood Essence, 80 Soul Crystals]

"My lord!"

Liu Lingyun screamed in pain, eyes filled with sorrow, then without hesitation palm-struck her own chest, severing her heart and choosing to die with Zhou Qiaonian.

Han Zheng remained expressionless.

Once you make certain choices, you must bear the consequences.

Zhou Qiaonian and Liu Lingyun's love was indeed genuine, opposing identities and significant age gap, yet they threw caution to the wind to be together, genuinely moving to hear.

However, if you were among those captured by the Blood Demon Sect, drained of Qi Blood, you might not find it moving.

"Tsk, tsk, Zhou Qiaonian was quite right. You are indeed ruthless as a wolf, heart hard as stone. A fine pair of lovers, dead because of you."

Yan Xuankong, standing by, made sarcastic remarks.

Yet he too disapproved of Zhou Qiaonian's actions.

Not disapproving of Zhou Qiaonian's betrayal of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, colluding with the Blood Demon Sect, but his being manipulated by them over a woman.

What is the Blood Demon Sect?

A vermin once crushed and nearly exterminated by the Demon Cleansing Bureau and the Heavenly Gate jointly.

Zhou Qiaonian was a Yang God Realm Garrison Commander, his injury may have lowered his Realm, but a Commander remains a Commander, his contacts intact, still able to speak before the Grand Commander.

If Yan Xuankong encountered this, he had at least nine ways to eliminate the Blood Demon Sect remnants and save Liu Lingyun, possibly earning great Merit.

But Zhou Qiaonian was pathetically manipulated by these remnants, disgraceful to the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Ignoring Yan Xuankong's remarks, Han Zheng turned his gaze towards Chen Changqing.

With Zhou Qiaonian dead, Chen Changqing's side could not hold, being forced back by the combined assault of Bu Tiange and Qing Jingzi.

Suddenly, Chen Changqing burst with Qi Blood, quickly distancing himself from Bu Tiange and Qing Jingzi, shouting below, "Retreat to the Underground Palace!"

Pan Qiaoniang's expression changed, "We can't go to the Underground Palace! The Blood God Plan must not stop!"

"I know the severity of the Blood God Plan better than you!"

Chen Changqing's face twisted, "I'm not of your Blood Demon Sect, but now we're inseparable from it.

We must prematurely activate the Blood God, else it will be discovered, and we all die!"

With that, he ignored everyone, fleeing into the Heaven Net Martial Sect's interior.

Pan Qiaoniang gritted her teeth and also fled inside with the other Blood Demon Sect members.

"Pursue them! Ignore the Heaven Net Martial Sect's disciples, just follow!"

Han Zheng ordered immediately, ignoring the disciples unable to retreat inside.

The Heaven Net Martial Sect's situation differed from the Duke Wei Mansion; they were allies, not merged. The disciples still practiced Heaven Net Martial Sect cultivation.

These were merely accomplices, unimportant. The focus was the Blood Demon Sect remnants.

Han Zheng transformed into a Blood River, his speed incredible, becoming a flash of Blood Shadow and disappearing instantly.

Pan Qiaoniang was astonished.

Though Han Zheng had previously used the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique, it was average.

But now, his transformation into a Blood River, his Qi Blood Power stronger and purer, resembled a true Blood Demon Sect martial artist!

As the gap reduced to less than ten feet, Chen Changqing and others leaped into an underground cavern in the Heaven Net Martial Sect's inner areas.

Han Zheng followed, but then inner array triggered, boundless Qi Blood surged, isolating him outside.

Stopping, Han Zheng saw the scenery inside the cavern, his face instantly darkening.
