I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World
Chapter 400 - 400: The Offense and Defense Shift Forms

Han Zheng, with the force of a thunderbolt, had slain a Demon Lord. Although it looked impressive, it did nothing to help the overall battle situation.

The demons were simply too numerous, so many that it was beyond imagination.

No sooner had he slain one Demon Lord than three more set their sights on him.

Han Zheng looked around and furrowed his brow slightly.

At this point, the situation was far too unfavorable for them. They were surrounded from all sides, and no matter which direction he tried to break through, he would encounter a large group of demons attacking.

Han Zheng looked to the rear, considering whether he should use the Stealing Heaven Bow to shoot all the demons behind him with a mighty arrow and seize the opportunity to escape.

However, there were too many uncertainties with such an action.

The Stealing Heaven Bow was indeed powerful, and Han Zheng was confident he could kill all the demons in the direction he aimed at.

But the problem was that it was uncertain how many demons were behind him. Even if he killed a hundred demons with one arrow, there would be even more demons to come from behind.

Furthermore, after using the Stealing Heaven Bow, Han Zheng's own exhaustion would be immense. Facing such a vast number of demons afterward, he would virtually have no strength left to fight back.

Moreover, once he used the Stealing Heaven Bow, the powerful weapon might attract the Black Mountain Demon himself to take action.

While Han Zheng was contemplating, those three Demon Lords had already closed in, ready to kill him first.

Han Zheng took a deep breath, gripped the Heavenly Demon Transformation in his hand, and prepared to directly initiate the third level of the Heavenly Demon Transformation's seal to contend fiercely with the three Demon Lords.

Just then, amidst the encirclement of countless demons, a loud cry of battle came from afar.

Xu Cunbao, holding the Black Dragon Battle Banner Spear, the Gang Qi surging on the banner, roared angrily as the black dragon, while the Gang Wind fluttered vigorously. He swept out with his spear, and with overwhelming might, instantly tore through a large group of demons.

Wen Tingyun formed a seal technique with his hands, stepping through the air as he approached.

With each step he took, True Yuan churned around him, turning into a Heavenly Demon Dance that enveloped and passed by the demons, directly pouring Demonic Qi into their bodies and instantly bursting them into a cloud of blood mist!

Su Wuming and other elites from the Demon Cleansing Bureau followed closely behind them, slaying those demons that had been missed.

Meanwhile, Patrol Envoy Fang Henge was leading a hundred of his elites from another direction, attacking. With a single palm strike, the vigorous and imposing True Essence Gang Qi directly blasted a large number of demons, showing even greater might than Xu Cunbao and Wen Tingyun.

Bringing up the rear were Pang Zhen and Lu Tianfang.

They did not slack or hold back, though they clearly held back a little in their attacks, not fighting as desperately as Xu Cunbao and Wen Tingyun.

Seeing that the people from the Demon Cleansing Bureau had finally arrived, Han Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Cunbao and Wen Tingyun made their way to Han Zheng's side, with Xu Cunbao asking, "Kid, are you alright?"

Han Zheng smiled and said, "I'm fine for now, but if Elder Xu had arrived even a bit later, I really would have been in trouble."

Wen Tingyun looked at Han Zheng with a half-smile, "Elder Xu, this young man seems to be dissatisfied with us. It seems he blames us for being late."

"You're slandering me, Elder Wen. I didn't mean that."

Wen Tingyun shook his head gently, "You feeling that way is normal because we indeed came a bit late.

Now is not the time for much talk. We're going to support the people from the Great Compassion Temple, Su Wuming will fill you in.

If we don't help the monks from the Great Compassion Temple now, they'll end up dead monks."

With that said, Wen Tingyun and Xu Cunbao immediately began to support Fa Ming and the others from the Great Compassion Temple.

The monastery's leaders, who had already condensed the Martial Arts True Pills, were almost each facing two, and even engaging three Demon Lords comparable to Martial Arts Grandmasters at the same time, under tremendous pressure.

Su Wuming also charged forward, with his concise and efficient ability to organize, he quickly filled Han Zheng in on the events that had transpired.

Han Zheng had Chu Xinghe and others return to the Resonating Demon Department to report. Chu Xinghe and his team didn't delay even for a moment, swiftly burning their vital energies at the fastest speed to return to the Demon Cleansing Bureau and report the events to Xu Cunbao and Wen Tingyun.

The incident Han Zheng spoke of was indeed horrifying, but it was also logical and well-founded.

Wen Tingyun also felt that there was something strange about the demon chaos stirred up by the Black Mountain Demon this time; it seemed as though the enemy was hiding something.

But she did not know that the Black Mountain Demon possessed the secret technique to snatch the Four Spirits Land of the Southern Mountain, so naturally, she could not guess the true purpose of the Black Mountain Demon.

As such, within the Southern Mountain, only Yan Xuankong could deduce the target of the Black Mountain Demon from some clues.

Now, after being reminded by Han Zheng, Wen Tingyun immediately summoned the records to examine the locations and scales of the demon chaos, and she indeed discerned some patterns.

Therefore, she did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered all the Xuanjia Guards of the Demon Cleansing Bureau in every camp, as well as those of the State Mansions, to drop all their tasks and support the Great Compassion Temple with all their might!

But while Wen Tingyun was decisive, there were those who dragged their feet.

Pang Zhen and Lu Tianfang thought Wen Tingyun was acting recklessly. They actually believed she was mobilizing the entire strength of the Demon Cleansing Bureau based on Han Zheng's mere words, neglecting the demon chaos erupting everywhere.

What if Han Zheng was wrong and the Demon Cleansing Bureau concentrated all its forces, then how would they deal with the widespread demon chaos? Who would be responsible for the consequences?

Lu Tianfang and Pang Zhen's opposition stemmed from their fallout with Wu Yunfei—they had already come to blows, naturally unwilling to follow Wen Tingyun's commands.

Another reason was that they had arrived in Southern Mountain after the Black Mountain Demon's upheaval and did not know how terrifying the Black Mountain Demon was, thinking Han Zheng was merely uttering alarmist talk.

Talking about shedding its former body and reshaping a demon body, why didn't the Black Mountain Demon claim it was going to ascend to the seat of a Demon God?

Of course, they could not imagine that the Black Mountain Demon's ambition was much greater than anyone else could conceive.

Not only did it want to reshape its demon body, but it also wanted to seize the Nine Heavens Demon Suppressing Mallet from the Great Compassion Temple to touch upon the true secret of becoming a god!

In any case, no matter what, Lu Tianfang and Pang Zhen both disagreed with Xu Cunbao and Wen Tingyun's plan.

Angered, Wen Tingyun even wanted to completely break with these two men and take action, but Xu Cunbao stopped her.

Now that they knew of the Black Mountain Demon's scheme, if the Demon Cleansing Bureau began infighting at this juncture, Southern Mountain was truly doomed.

In the end, it was Chu Xinghe who went to seek out Fang Henge, and after telling him about these matters, Fang Henge's personal intervention finally pressured Lu Tianfang and Pang Zhen into action.

Han Zheng shook his head after hearing all this.

The internal strife within the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau had reached an irreversible state.

Only one faction, either the Capital Faction or the Local Faction, could remain; otherwise, disaster was inevitable sooner or later.

It was even fortunate that they had Fang Henge, the Patrol Envoy, there.

Had it not been for Fang Henge's intervention to suppress the two men, the Demon Cleansing Bureau would not have been talking about reinforcement—they would probably have broken into a fight on the spot.

With the intervention of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, the pressure on the Great Compassion Temple was immediately relieved, and they had even begun to turn the tables and suppress those demons.

On their side, they suddenly gained five Martial Arts Grandmasters who had condensed the Martial Arts True Pill.

Xu Cunbao was old yet vigorous, and Wen Tingyun had a deep and solid foundation.

Even though Lu Tianfang and Pang Zhen were not of fine character, both of them were from the Capital Demon Suppression Department and stood out among their peers of the same rank.

Not to mention there was Fang Henge, a figure at the Half-step Yangshen Realm.

In terms of high-end combat power, the Human Clan instantly gained the upper hand over the Demon Clan.

And since Wen Tingyun's orders had been passed down, more and more Xuanjia Guards from various Demon Cleansing Bureaus kept joining the fray.

For instance, Han Zheng spotted Pei Xiuyuan leading the Xuanjia Guards of the Smoke Wave Prefecture into battle, and Wan Zhongshan brought the elite of the Qianjiang Prefecture as well.

The previous appearance of the Demon Cleansing Bureau being understaffed was due to their responsibility to cover the entire Southern Mountain.

Scatter too many people throughout the vast Southern Mountain and not many would be left.

But now that the elite forces of the Demon Cleansing Bureau were united, the ground was filled with sweeping torrents of Xuan Armor, like a black tidal wave, which actually surrounded and slaughtered the numerically superior demons at the center.

At this moment, Fang Henge stepped forward, ready to assist Master Pu Du in dealing with the Black Mountain Demon.

Although he had not reached the Yangshen Realm, he had already begun to use the power of Heaven and Earth to temper his Primordial Spirit, reaching the level of the Half-step Yangshen Realm.

At full strength, Fang Henge was definitely capable of matching a Great Grandmaster of the Yangshen Realm.

In an instant, from the top-tier to the grassroots, the Human Clan completed a full offensive and defensive switch with the Demon Clan!
