I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World
Chapter 406 - 406: 406

The Black Mountain Demon's Golden Mountain Demon Body was truly as colossal as a small mountain, magnificent beyond compare.

Such a gigantic self-destruction of a Golden Mountain Demon Body, some fragments were barely larger than a fist, almost densely packed like droplets in the rain.

The number of fragments scattering in all directions made finding the Black Mountain Demon's true body almost like finding a needle in a haystack, extremely difficult.

"What should we do now, Sir?"

Wen Tingyun approached Chen Baxian and asked.

The current situation was indeed very tricky.

The most troublesome thing about the Black Mountain Demon was its ability to escape death.

You could kill it once, but given a chance, the Black Mountain Demon could emerge again to cause trouble.

"Hunt! We must dig three feet into the ground if necessary to completely resolve the Black Mountain Demon issue!

I might be leaving Southern Mountain soon, and we can't give the Black Mountain Demon another opportunity to wreak havoc."

Wen Tingyun suddenly looked startled, then seemed to think of something and nodded.

Hearing this, the operatives of the Demon Cleansing Bureau immediately dispersed to pursue in all directions.

At the same time, people from the Great Compassion Temple and the Jianghai Alliance also helped to hunt those fragments of the Golden Mountain.

Although there was no guarantee of success in this pursuit, if they didn't try, they would certainly not catch the foe.

At this moment, in Han Zheng's mind, Yan Xuankong suddenly let out a strange laugh: "Han Zheng boy, do you want the tremendous credit for slaying the Black Mountain Demon?"

Han Zheng was slightly taken aback, "Do you have a way to find where the Black Mountain Demon's Soul Seed is?"

"Although I haven't tried it, I'm fairly confident.

As a person, I've always disliked being fooled twice in the same place.

After being bamboozled by the Black Mountain Demon's secret technique once, I learned my lesson and devised a method to search for the whereabouts of its Soul Seed.

These fragments are the result of the explosion of the Black Mountain Demon's three souls and seven spirits, naturally carrying its soul and spirit aura.

The Blood Demon Sect has a cultivation technique called the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique, which is not very high-level—merely a Xuan Gang Realm technique with no significant offensive power, mainly used for interrogating opponents.

I've made some modifications to strengthen its soul-searching aspect greatly.

Next, you just grab any fragment of the Golden Mountain Demon Body and use the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique to snatch its soul origin. Using this soul origin as a marker, you can then track down the location of its Soul Seed.

The fragment where the Soul Seed lies will have a soul origin that is definitely distinct from the other pieces.

However, you need to act quickly. Since I've modified the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique and haven't used it yet, I can't be sure of its maximum range."

After saying that, Yan Xuankong immediately imparted the modified Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique to Han Zheng.

In a way, Yan Xuankong could be considered an all-around talent.

It was normal for him to be strong in practice and actual combat, but he was also no less knowledgeable in Martial Arts theory than Wen Tingyun.

His discovery of using the Purple Blood Xuanyang Technique to power the Stealing Heaven Bow, and the use of the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique to find the Black Mountain Demon's Soul Seed true body, were both his own research.

The sixty years Yan Xuankong lost truly were a pity.

Had Yan Xuankong not fallen into the trap of Thousand Buddha Village, perhaps he could have now stepped into the Dharma Manifestation Realm, taken charge of the Capital Demon Suppression Department, and become a Dharma Manifestation Realm Commander.

Of course, with his personality, it's more likely that he would have offended some high-ranking people and ended up being killed.

After a moment of silence, Han Zheng absorbed the knowledge of the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique.

This secret technique was not too difficult to master. As long as one's spiritual power reached the level of the Xuan Gang Realm, it could be utilized.

In the next moment, Han Zheng moved swiftly, unleashing his full power to grab a fragment of the Golden Mountain Demon Body.

This Golden Mountain Demon Body was forged by the Black Mountain Demon after collecting vast amounts of gold, silver, and Copper Coin from Southern Mountain, and then refining the Golden Origin from them with the Power of the Four Spirits.

It could be said that aside from the Black Mountain Demon's soul and spirit force, the object in itself was a material of the highest quality for weapon forging.

Han Zheng deployed the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique over the fragment, instantly taking control of its soul and spirit force, turning it into a marker.

Using this marker as a guide, Han Zheng fully activated the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique and looked around. Countless fragments of the Golden Mountain emitted a faint glimmer, almost identical.

Only one direction's fragments shone with an astounding brightness—it was immediately apparent that they were markedly different from the other pieces.

It worked!

Han Zheng's eyes brightened, and he immediately charged in that direction.

At this time, the surroundings were extremely chaotic, with everyone tracking the disorderly fragments.

Chen Baxian's attacks were relentless, punch after punch pounding the ground into craters, focusing on wide-area destructive power.

So when Han Zheng suddenly set off towards one direction, it hardly caught anyone's attention.

However, the speed of the Soul Seed fragment was incredibly fast, even Han Zheng with his current speed wasn't able to catch up with it for a while.

In a frantic chase, Han Zheng pursued for dozens of miles yet the distance between them didn't shorten.

Seeing this, Han Zheng decisively used the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique, regardless of the strain, his figure rapidly transforming into a streak of blood to chase after it.

With the swift aid of the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique, Han Zheng finally drew closer to the fragment of the Golden Mountain Demon Body.

Heavenly Demon Transformation unsheathed, a slash fell, and a surge of Demonic Qi swept over in an instant, sending the fragment of the Golden Mountain Demon Body flying.

The force of the Golden Origin upon it was shattered by Han Zheng's blade, dimming its light considerably.

"Black Mountain Demon, stop running, you can't escape.

You might think for once or twice, but not thrice—do you really think you can still stir up trouble in the Southern Mountain?"

The palm-sized fragment of the Golden Mountain Demon Body trembled, and with a flash of light, the frail and nearly transparent Primordial Spirit Body of the Black Mountain Demon emerged from the fragment.

"This makes no sense, how on earth did you discover the location of my Soul Seed?"

Confusion glinted in the eyes of the Black Mountain Demon.

Initially, it believed that Han Zheng had merely chanced upon the fragment hiding its Soul Seed.

After all, luck is an unpredictable thing.

As long as it could sustain a high enough speed and shake him off, Han Zheng would surely get distracted by other fragments and not continue the pursuit.

But soon, the Black Mountain Demon sensed something was amiss.

Han Zheng seemed to have completely locked onto it, watching it closely, ignoring other fragments around and just focusing on it.

Even at its top speed, Han Zheng still managed to catch up using a Secret Technique.

Plus, what it had just said was enough to prove that Han Zheng had long since locked onto it, knowing its Soul Seed was in this fragment!

"It doesn't seem to matter, what's important is that you can't escape this time!"

As his words ended, Han Zheng's blade fell once more, unleashing the Nine Prisons Slaughter Life Saber, Killing Intent Origin imbuing his body, and a black-red Sword Light immediately enveloped the Black Mountain Demon.

There was nothing much to be said with a demon like Black Mountain Demon. For Han Zheng right now, killing it to claim the merit was the most practical action.

Moreover, the Black Mountain Demon was cunning and prone to deceit, engaging it in idle talk could lead to unexpected consequences.

The Black Mountain Demon's brow furrowed slightly.

The resoluteness of Han Zheng's assault made it feel uncomfortable.

It formed a Seal Technique with its hands, and countless gusts of wind and stones swirled around, mixed with nature's spiritual energy to form a shield around the Black Mountain Demon.

Though now only a remnant soul remained, it had once been a Demon King and had control over the Golden Mountain Demon Body, which allowed it to still borrow a trace of Heaven and Earth Power.

While only a sliver of power remained, it was enough to temporarily fend off Han Zheng's offensive.

"Han Zheng, is it? My impression of you is quite deep.

The hermits hardly suffer losses, always cautious and strategic, and you are one of the few who have managed to inflict defeat upon them twice.

You may not know, but I had noticed you back in Taishan Prefecture already.

The Demon Cleansing Bureau really does evoke envy, always producing such stunningly talented individuals.

Yan Xuankong was one, now Chen Baxian is, and you, Han Zheng, will be one in the future.

Actually, if you think about it, you and I don't really have any deep-seated hatred, do we?

You joined the Demon Cleansing Bureau and have killed many of my Demon Clan subordinates, but I haven't caused you any harm, right?"
