I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World -
Chapter 470 - 470: I Am a Traitor, Not a Deserter!
Chen Changqing's attack simultaneously crushed both Qing Jingzi and Han Zheng, but his expression was somewhat grim.
Although Qing Jingzi spat blood, it was only a minor injury.
Han Zheng's physical prowess was beyond Chen Changqing's expectations; he hadn't even sustained a minor injury.
However, Chen Changqing himself had already gone all out, and if he continued entangling with these two, the Heaven Net Martial Sect would not hold out much longer!
Indeed, although Jing'an Guard was outnumbered, they were steadily defeating the people from Heaven Net Martial Sect.
The disciples of Heaven Net Martial Sect seemed to be quite mediocre; even Han Zheng thought they were inferior to the disciples from White Cloud Temple, which was puzzling.
Just as Han Zheng and Qing Jingzi were preparing to attack again, Zhou Qiaonian's voice suddenly came from down the mountain.
"Stop! Lord Han, stop!"
Looking down, Han Zheng saw Zhou Qiaonian hastily ascending Heaven Net Peak with the men from the Demon Cleansing Bureau of Heaven Net City, accompanied even by his wife Liu Lingyun.
Xiang Yuangong and Han Zheng exchanged a glance, a complex expression in both their eyes.
Zhou Qiaonian had come, proving his longstanding collusion with Heaven Net Martial Sect!
"Lord Han, weren't you heading back to the Capital City? Why are you now fighting with Heaven Net Martial Sect? Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Han Zheng looked at Zhou Qiaonian with an unreadable smile: "Elder Zhou, you've arrived just in time. How did you know we were fighting with Heaven Net Martial Sect?"
Zhou Qiaonian was slightly taken aback, frowning: "Lord Han, are you suspecting me of something? The Heaven Net Martial Sect is right beside Heaven Net City; how could I not know when you make such a commotion?
Duke Wei Mansion has already been destroyed, and the remnants of the Blood Demon Sect have long been eradicated. What exactly are you trying to achieve with such a grand spectacle, Lord Han?"
"Why, don't you know, Elder Zhou?"
Han Zheng gently shook his head and sighed: "Elder Zhou, you were once a model for the Demon Cleansing Bureau, fighting a bloody battle at the Demon Suppression Pass for hundreds of years, achieving countless merits. Why are you now colluding with the Blood Demon Sect?
Others might do it for profit or power, but I don't believe such motivations apply to you. Whatever you want, the Demon Cleansing Bureau could give you, considering your merits and reputation.
If you were seeking a secret technique for immortality out of fear of death, I wouldn't believe it either. How could someone who never retreated against countless Demons be afraid of death?
So why have you done such a thing?"
Zhou Qiaonian was silent for a moment, then angrily shouted: "Han Zheng! What do you mean by this?
Ever since you came to Heaven Net City, I have treated you as an old friend, never treating you as a junior, cooperating fully with you.
And now you slander me with collusion with the Blood Demon Sect—this is simply outrageous! I must have misjudged you!"
Disappointment flickered in Han Zheng's eyes: "During my time in the Southern Mountain, I met many senior figures who were selfless and solely dedicated to the Demon Cleansing Bureau.
I thought you were one of those people, Elder Zhou, but, unfortunately, you are not.
From the beginning, you orchestrated our pursuit of Duke Wei Mansion to ultimately use us to destroy that faction of the Blood Demon Sect—a neat trick of borrowing a knife to kill.
If I were the type eager for quick merits, I would rush back to the Capital City to report my accomplishments.
However, your methods were a bit rough, with some flaws you can't cover up even if you try."
Zhou Qiaonian was about to say something, but Chen Changqing had already coldly remarked: "Elder Zhou, there's no use wasting words. This can't be covered up; how could Han Zheng dare to attack my Heaven Net Martial Sect without absolute evidence?
Besides, I've already been exposed using the Purple Blood Xuanyang Technique earlier; no explanation will suffice.
The situation is as it is now. Don't hesitate; simply kill Han Zheng along with the entire Jing'an Guard here. Then report that they were ambushed by the Blood Demon Sect en route."
Ever since he learned that Han Zheng attacked the Heaven Net Martial Sect, Chen Changqing believed Han Zheng must possess absolute evidence to dare such a move.
He couldn't imagine that Han Zheng would act solely based on suspicions and guesses, daring to attack Heaven Net Martial Sect to probe him.
Zhou Qiaonian's expression fluctuated, ending in a long sigh.
"Han Zheng, why must you do things so ruthlessly?
You came to Heaven Net City, and I've cooperated with you to destroy the Blood Demon Sect. You and your Jing'an Guard could return to the Capital City to claim your accomplishments—wouldn't that be better?
Must you pursue this investigation to the end, forcing everyone onto a path of no return?
The brothers in the Jing'an Guard who follow you could have returned safely with honors, but now they'll all die. Are you satisfied with this outcome?"
Zhou Qiaonian's tone even carried a trace of heartache, as if he truly was reluctant to slaughter his colleagues.
Xiang Yuangong and the others looked at Zhou Qiaonian with complex expressions.
Zhou Qiaonian's reputation in the Demon Cleansing Bureau was quite good; everyone believed he was a highly upright and selfless elder.
Yet now, he's admitted to colluding with the Blood Demon Sect and intends to silence everyone here. The impact is beyond ordinary.
Chen Changqing looked at Zhou Qiaonian with slight disdain.
If you're betraying the Demon Cleansing Bureau, do it thoroughly. Now, who are you putting on the show of remorse for? It's like trying to be a prostitute while erecting a monument for virtue.
Though allies out of necessity, Chen Changqing truly looked down on Zhou Qiaonian.
"Alright, less talk, move quickly, lest the night brings unexpected changes!
I'll handle Qing Jingzi; leave the kid from the Demon Cleansing Bureau to you!"
Chen Changqing took a step forward, delivering a punch with devastating force straight at Qing Jingzi.
Zhou Qiaonian brandished a Yanyue Blade as red as fire, holding it horizontally in front, fixing his gaze on Han Zheng.
"Han Zheng, with your talent, dying here today is truly a pity. But you brought this upon yourself, and no one else is to blame!"
A strange smile appeared on Han Zheng's face: "Elder Zhou, are you so confident as to already pronounce my death sentence?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Zheng shouted loudly: "Bu Tiange! Take action!"
A sword roar like a dragon's chant immediately resounded between heaven and earth.
Sword light soaring to the sky erupted from the ground, carrying an awe-inspiring might as it directly slashed at Chen Changqing.
Instantly, Chen Changqing felt a chill all over, turning suddenly to form a seal with his hand, while the Heavenly Net Great Hand Seal descended towards his rear.
But that sword was extraordinarily dazzling and sharp, as if capable of tearing apart everything in the world.
After the sword roar and dragon chant, Chen Changqing's Heavenly Net Great Hand Seal was directly torn apart, and the fierce sword qi forced him to retreat several steps.
Qing Jingzi was also slightly dazed.
But then he reacted, realizing this was the reinforcement trump card Han Zheng had arranged.
So Qing Jingzi wasted no time, forming seals, with Dao Essence surging all around as the Yin Yang Array Map rose beneath Chen Changqing's feet, enveloping him with boundless sword qi, once again suppressing him with Bu Tiange's cooperation.
"Bu Tiange, the abandoned disciple of Qingming Sword Pavilion!"
Chen Changqing's expression suddenly changed as he beheld the stunning swordsmanship.
There clearly shouldn't be any connection between Bu Tiange and Han Zheng; how did these two end up together?
Moreover, these two fellows are both monsters!
Even though they were merely in the True Pill Realm, the power they unleashed threatened him, a Yang God Realm existence!
Bu Tiange snorted coldly: "Who are you calling an 'abandoned disciple'? Get it straight, I'm a traitor, not an abandoned disciple! They have no right to abandon me!"
As his words fell, ten thousand sword lights suddenly emanated from Bu Tiange's long sword, each chillingly sharp, embodying the true intent of extreme sword dao slaughter!
The combined effect of Bu Tiange and Qing Jingzi was no less potent than when Han Zheng had previously joined forces with Qing Jingzi, instantly suppressing Chen Changqing.
Moreover, Chen Changqing, having used the Purple Blood Xuanyang Technique while battling Han Zheng, now had some depletion in his energy and blood, and was not at his peak, performing even worse than before.
Han Zheng looked at Zhou Qiaonian and said in a stern voice: "Elder Zhou, do you still think I'm seeking death now?"
