I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 262 Threat
People like Qiao Xuan holding high positions within the Demon Cleansing Bureau are indeed the most detrimental to the strength of the Bureau.
Within the Demon Cleansing Bureau, you could have weak strength, but you could not be inactive.
Qiao Xuan's collusion with the Wang Family on his own wouldn't have been as problematic, but such actions had caused the entire Jingzhou Prefecture Demon Cleansing Bureau to lose its intended purpose.
And if Qiao Xuan's subordinates were all to follow his example, with the downward influence of his leadership, it would be disastrous once they were promoted to Demon Sweeping Captain for the entire Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Bureau.
By then, the Demon Cleansing Bureau would be rotten to the core.
But fortunately, people like Qiao Xuan were in the minority.
At this moment, when Qiao Xuan was so humiliated by Han Zheng, his face instantly twisted with rage, and he fell into a fury.
"How dare you! Han Zheng, I am your senior, after all, someone who's eaten more rice than you have salt," Qiao Xuan shouted. "How dare a greenhorn like you disrespect me so! I will not let this go easily!"
Han Zheng chuckled coldly, "What's there to be proud of for eating more meals? Are you proud to be a rice bucket? Why don't you compare who has slain more demons instead?
Since I joined the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department, the Great Demons that have died by my hand are already more than I can count on two hands. How about your achievements as a senior in the Bureau?
You won't let this go easily, and I have no intention of letting you off!
Qiao Xuan colludes with the Wang Family and betrays the Demon Cleansing Bureau—take him down together!"
As his words fell, Han Zheng simply waved his hand, signaling Yang Tianqi and the others to ignore Qiao Xuan and to take action directly.
Han Zheng held immense prestige within the Kui Character Camp; after all, he had been executing missions at the headquarters ever since he joined the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Department.
These Xuanjia Guards had watched Han Zheng rise and naturally respected him greatly.
If Han Zheng didn't regard Qiao Xuan, they naturally wouldn't hesitate either.
Wang Xu saw that Qiao Xuan was completely helpless against Han Zheng, being scolded and shamed by the younger man, and he instantly cursed under his breath, "Useless!"
Since Qiao Xuan proved unreliable, he must now rely on himself!
Before Han Zheng made a move, flames rapidly engulfed Wang Xu's body.
His vigorous Qi Blood Power boiled and burned like a pillar of fire reaching for the sky.
In an instant, Wang Xu transformed into a shooting star of flames, escaping towards the back.
Most of the Wang Family members were not at home at the moment—if he could just escape, the Black Mountain Demon would surely take him in.
Qiao Xuan stood there, dumbfounded, watching Wang Xu escape as a streak of fire.
From the time he had known Wang Xu, the man had always looked half-dead, and then he would bring gifts, asking him to take care of the Wang Family and so on.
But now, the power Wang Xu displayed was almost on par with the peak of the Xuan Gang Realm to the Dan Sea Realm!
Han Zheng scoffed, his figure instantly turning into a streak of blood, using the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique at full force to pursue Wang Xu.
No matter how fast Wang Xu was, he couldn't outpace the Blood Shadow Floating Light Technique. He immediately felt an intense and chilly Blood Slaughter Saber Gang approaching from behind.
With the Avici Path Asura Slash in Han Zheng's hand coming down, an overwhelming Saber Gang flooded the area after the slash, surrounding Wang Xu entirely.
Wang Xu suddenly turned around, forming a Seal Technique with his hands; fierce and violent Gang Qi gathered around him, and a massive Heaven Burning Great Palm extending more than ten meters across descended obliterating the Saber Gang completely.
"You old man were truly hiding your skills!" Han Zheng exclaimed.
The power of the Heaven Burning Great Palm that Wang Xu used now was drastically different from before.
But after executing the technique, Wang Xu's complexion paled.
His Dan Sea was shattered; now he had to desperately burn his Qi Blood Power to attain a fraction of his former Dan Sea Realm strength.
The problem was his Qi Blood Power was also running low, so he needed to defeat Han Zheng quickly and then flee.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xu wildly burned his Qi Blood Power. Boundless Gang Qi converged above him, a great sun loomed overhead, and with a single punch, a vast halo of fire plummeted down like a falling meteor, striking at Han Zheng.
Each attack was nearly imbued with a portion of Dan Sea Realm power; an ordinary Xuan Gang Realm martial artist would probably be completely shattered by this formidable force.
And this was precisely why, despite the Wang Family having offended so many powers in Jingzhou Prefecture, none dared to hassle them.
As long as Wang Xu was alive, they wouldn't dare to act rashly.
The once peak Dan Sea Realm elder of the Wang Family, even with his now shattered Dan Sea, could still unleash a fraction of the mighty power inherent to the Dan Sea Realm.
Unfortunately, Han Zheng had seen through what he intended to do.
Wang Xu's explosive power was formidable, but how long could he sustain such high-level offensive maneuvers at this time?
Alternating between Black Sky Tathagata Demon Buddha Form and Great Mighty Dragon Bodhisattva View, Han Zheng took Wang Xu's attacks head-on.
Endless Demonic Qi and Buddha Light exploded, with dragon roars and hisses reverberating across heaven and earth.
The sun meteor in Wang Xu's hand continually smashed down, each time forcing Han Zheng a step back, but never succeeding in completely breaking through Han Zheng's defenses.
To be precise, Han Zheng wasn't defending at all, but instead choosing the most aggressive approach of attack against attack, rapidly depleting Wang Xu's energy.
Within a radius of dozens of feet, the violent Gang Qi even formed a huge storm vortex, tearing apart everything in its vicinity.

The more Wang Xu fought, the weaker he became, his Qi Blood Power even nearing the brink of exhaustion.
In the beginning, his power could reach the Dan Sea Realm, but at this moment, he had been reduced to only the peak of the Xuan Gang Realm.
Although Han Zheng also found it costly to resist, he managed to withstand each blow perfectly and seemed to still have some strength left.
He was clearly only at the late stage of the Xuan Gang Realm, so where did such a formidable foundation of power come from?
At this moment, Wang Xu looked toward Qiao Xuan on the side, still contemplating whether to intervene, and roared, "Qiao Xuan! If you sit by and watch Han Zheng annihilate my Wang Family today, I will reveal all the deeds you've done in Jingzhou Prefecture these past years!
How much has my Wang Family given you over the years? Even if we're feeding a dog, it should bark a couple of times, right?"
Qiao Xuan's complexion immediately changed.
He was too deeply entangled with the Wang Family.
If Wang Xu revealed certain things, then he would truly be doomed!
Considering this, Qiao Xuan's gaze toward Wang Xu carried a hint of murderous intent.
He was no fool; to side with Wang Xu and act against Han Zheng would be to partake in internal strife within the Demon Cleansing Bureau, which would certainly warrant a severe investigation.
Moreover, if Wang Xu dared to use this matter to threaten him once, there would be a second time.
But if he took the opportunity to kill Wang Xu now, at worst he'd lose some face, but he could permanently silence Wang Xu.
Feeling Qiao Xuan's gaze, Wang Xu sneered.
The man was insatiably greedy, with no bottom line. From the beginning, Wang Xu had never fully expected to rely on him to escape calamity.
While attacking Han Zheng, Wang Xu sneered, "Lord Qiao, even if you kill me, it's pointless. The people of my Wang Family are aware of your deeds.
Even if I die today, as long as there's one survivor from my family, your secrets will be known throughout Southern Mountain.
On the contrary, as long as I live, the Wang Family will surely keep silent.
Help me block Han Zheng!
If you save my life, I, Wang Xu, will absolutely keep my word!
You are a trusted confidant of Garrison Captain Wu Yunfei, one of the top five. Even if you take action against Han Zheng today, Wu Yunfei will have your back.
Otherwise, if the deeds you've done spread throughout Southern Mountain, even Wu Yunfei won't be able to cover for you!"
As Wang Xu finished speaking, Qiao Xuan's expression turned extremely ferocious.
After a moment of contemplation, Qiao Xuan actually took out a dark black iron stick and, with a whistling Gang Qi explosion, smashed it toward Han Zheng.
Clearly, the leverage Wang Xu held was significant, enough to make him disregard everything to strike at Han Zheng.
"Idiot!" Han Zheng cursed inwardly.
Qiao Xuan truly lacked brains; he didn't realize how much leverage the Wang Family held over him. This Demon Sweeping Captain was truly acting in a pathetically spineless manner.
Previously, he thought he had control over the Wang Family, but in reality, the Wang Family had been holding the reins the entire time.
It was just that they had always treated Qiao Xuan with respect before the critical moment, preventing any outbursts.
Now, when push came to shove, if Qiao Xuan did not act, it would be he who faced ruin and disgrace.
