I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 108: Inverted Horse Poison Stake, Pain Origin

Han Zheng glanced at his left arm, which had been stained black by the poison.

He could even feel the toxin flowing through his blood, and a slight numbness in his meridians.

That's it?

The Dragon Elephant Prison Suppressing Power burst forth, concentrating all of his Qi Blood Power into his left arm.

In an instant, dense, pitch-black blood was forcefully squeezed out by the immense power of Han Zheng's Qi Blood Power.

The Scorpion Charm Lady couldn't believe her eyes as she looked towards Han Zheng, who seemed unfazed and had only lost some of his Qi Blood Power.

How is this possible!?

She knew just how potent her scorpion poison was.

Not to mention a Martial Artist of the Innate Realm, even those in the Dan Sea Realm couldn't withstand the excruciating pain that pierced the heart!

Before the Scorpion Charm Lady could ponder any further,

A terrifying surge of Blood Slaughter Aura suddenly rose around Han Zheng.

Wrapped around the Autumn Water Shocking Swallow was a swirling aura of black and red, not merely Blood Slaughter Aura, but even tainted with a hint of death intent!

That slash fell as if it cleaved open the Gate of Hell, and faint wails of evil spirits could be heard.

Avici Path Asura Slash!

The slash was like the descent of a Purgatory Asura, reaping all vitality.

The remaining Demon Energy of the Scorpion Charm Lady burst forth, her intact Scorpion Claw raised in defense.

But at this moment, her Qi Blood had declined to an extreme, and under the slash that had opened Avici Hell, the Scorpion Claw shattered, and her entire body was cleaved in two!

[Killing a Xuan Gang Realm Early Stage Great Demon, 1500 Demon Essence obtained.]

With the death of the Scorpion Charm Lady, the remaining scorpions around also lost their vitality.

Han Zheng propped himself on his long blade and sat down on the ground, releasing a long breath.

The consumption of Avici Path Asura Slash was immense; this slash had nearly drained Han Zheng completely, even more so than using the Moving Mountain technique.

However, the Demon Essence gained from killing the Scorpion Charm Lady wasn't as much as what he received from killing that tree demon initially.

[Special item Inverted Horse Poison Stake detected. Picking it up can be used to sacrifice to the Taotie Furnace in exchange for the retrieval of host's sense of pain.]

Han Zheng's eyes brightened, he had made the right bet!

Indeed, this Scorpion Charm Lady had a special item related to the origin of pain on her!

At this moment, Su Wuming, with a pale complexion, approached Han Zheng and gave a respectful bow, "Brother Han, I cannot repay the life-saving grace, I owe you my life!"

Su Wuming also knew from the family he had avenged that the scorpion's Scorpion Tail Stinger was powerful.

That trace of poison made him feel a tingling numbness; not to mention the Scorpion Tail Stinger itself.

How could he not be moved when Han Zheng had unhesitatingly stepped in front of him to block the Scorpion Tail Stinger?

If it were him facing that strike, with his Qi Blood already burning away and weakening, he might well have been painfully killed on the spot!

Su Wuming was a man of simple thoughts.

He would fight to the death with the Demons who had killed his entire family.

If the Demon Cleansing Bureau saved him, he would repay the favor; whoever the Demon Cleansing Bureau wanted to kill, he'd do it without mercy, annihilating entire households.

Now that Han Zheng had saved him, he owed Han Zheng his life and would repay the debt, even if it meant going through fire and water.

Han Zheng couldn't explain that he felt no pain, so he simply said, "Brother Su, don't take it so seriously. I stepped in because I was confident I could resist it somewhat.

Besides, at that moment, your Qi Blood was nearly burnt out, and receiving the Scorpion Tail Stinger head-on could have indeed been fatal."

Hearing this, Su Wuming took it to mean that Han Zheng was acting without expecting anything in return, which moved him even more.

Su Wuming's thoughts were simple, but his mind was not simple.

He had carried out many missions within the Demon Cleansing Bureau over the years and had seen too many ugly things in the world.

Even within the Demon Cleansing Bureau, there were many schemes, and even fratricides.

Having met Han Zheng only once, he had unhesitatingly stepped forward to save him, truly a paragon of benevolence and righteousness.

Not to mention Han Zheng's previous speech about defying one's fate, which Su Wuming took as a kindred spirit.

"Brother Han, no more words are needed. I've been dogged by misfortune, and not many in the Demon Cleansing Bureau are willing to associate with me.

You don't disdain me, Brother Han. You've saved my life today, so if there's ever anything you need in the future, just ask."

Hearing Su Wuming say this, Han Zheng found it best not to explain further.

"By the way, Brother Su, I have a use for the Scorpion Charm Lady's Scorpion Tail Stinger. Does it need to be turned over to the Demon Cleansing Bureau? Can I keep it?"

Su Wuming said, "According to the rules of the Demon Cleansing Bureau, after slaying a demon, the spoils belong to the individual unless it's a special entity that the higher-ups have specifically requested. Brother Han, feel free to take it if you want."

Han Zheng walked over, cut off the Scorpion Tail Stinger, and stored it in the Taotie Furnace.

[Inverted Horse Poison Stake: Special item. Only out of millions of poisonous scorpions can one mutant be born. Its tail is highly venomous and can easily kill horses, hence its name. Once this mutant scorpion transforms into a demon, the Inverted Horse Poison Stake contains the Origin of Pain. Offering it to the Taotie Furnace won't yield Hunger Level, but it can be exchanged to restore the host's sense of pain. The host may choose to spend ten thousand Hunger Points to merge with the Origin of Pain and randomly gain a Special Secret Skill.]

Confirming that the Inverted Horse Poison Stake could restore his sense of pain, Han Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, both Han Zheng and Su Wuming were in a state of exhausted strength, so he didn't restore his sense of pain right there but chose to recuperate some energy first before heading straight back to the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

On the way, Han Zheng asked with some curiosity, "Brother Su, why do you always burn your Qi Blood when making a move, leaving no room for retreat?"

Su Wuming's fighting style couldn't just be called aggressive—it was extreme.

For normal martial artists, burning their Qi Blood in desperation was normal, but that was a choice made only at the very limits of a last stand.

Su Wuming, on the other hand, would burn his Qi Blood at the start of nearly every battle, leaving no room for himself and treating every battle as if it were a final stand.

"I don't wish to either, but every time I face an enemy, all sorts of unexpected situations arise.

For instance, an opponent might have a powerful card up their sleeve, or someone might suddenly come to their aid, and so on.

In the end, it would almost always result in me burning my Qi Blood and even ending up seriously injured.

So, since the outcome is always the same, I might as well fight with all my might from the start and burn my Qi Blood in a full-out effort.

To die is to die; to survive is to live.

This way, there are less likely to be surprises. Given that the outcome is the same, it might as well be more decisive."

Su Wuming spoke with a very calm reaction, without any ripples, his emotions extremely stable.

For someone in his situation, perhaps nothing could affect his emotions anymore.

Han Zheng rarely admired a person, but Su Wuming was truly admirable.

"To never yield and keep fighting after repeated failures is easy to say, but how many can actually do it?"

The two made their way back to the Demon Cleansing Bureau and went to Wen Tingyun to report their orders.

After listening to Han Zheng and Su Wuming's detailed account of their mission, Wen Tingyun nodded in satisfaction.

"You've both done very well, even giving me a pleasant surprise.

Especially Han Zheng, the battle where you annihilated the Feng Family was brilliant, enough to deter a large faction of the unstable powers in the Martial World."

Feng Jingqi was alive, but that was more daunting than if the entire Feng Family were dead.

Anyone daring to collude with demons need only look at the outcome that befell the Feng Family to know the consequences.

"However, both of you are truly bold, knowing full well you were facing a Xuan Gang Realm Great Demon and still daring to strike."

The last time Han Zheng and the others encountered the Tree Demon Mountain God, it was purely accidental; no one expected a Great Demon sacrificed by a small village to be a Xuan Gang Realm being.

This time, Han Zheng and Su Wuming had knowingly gone towards the tiger despite knowing the dangers of the mountain.

Han Zheng said, "The news of Brother Su and I wiping out those two families will soon spread. If that demon learns about it, it might run away."

Wen Tingyun didn't dwell too much on this issue.

She would rather have more officers like Han Zheng and Su Wuming in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, who could slay Great Demons with their Innate powers.

"Alright, go and rest. Your Merit Points will soon be credited to your accounts.

For exterminating a clan and slaying a Xuan Gang Realm Great Demon, you each will receive six hundred Merit Points.

Han Zheng, if you can break through to the Perfect stage of the Innate Transcendence Realm, you'll be eligible to don the Golden Pattern Armor.

Moreover, your rate of promotion could be said to be the fastest since the establishment of the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department."

Normally, officers of the Demon Cleansing Bureau would accumulate their Merit Points slowly, by tens or a few dozens.

Han Zheng? He began by slaying the Swallowing Ghost Child, earning five hundred Merit Points even before joining the Demon Cleansing Bureau.

Then there was the Tree Demon Mountain God, a Xuan Gang Realm Great Demon, and now the Scorpion Charm Lady was still a Xuan Gang Realm Great Demon.

It could be said that since his joining, Han Zheng's opponents had always been Xuan Gang Realm beings.

Although he was nominally an Xuanjia Guard, in practice, he was doing the work of a Demon Sweeping Captain.

Even for someone as unlucky as Su Wuming, it wasn't every mission that he came across an existence of the Xuan Gang Realm.

Han Zheng left Wen Tingyun's study, bid farewell to Su Wuming, and immediately returned to his own quarters to start his retreat.

This time, he would finally be able to restore his pain sensation and enter the realm of the Water and Fire Immortal Clothes.
