Martial Arts Domination: Start with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique-Chapter 47 - Half-Demon Black Bear, Beheading and Execution!

Immediately after, like a punching bag, he was sent flying backward, crashing through the freshly-built temple walls.

The mud bricks collapsed, and dust billowed everywhere.

Fortunately, this place was secluded, with no villagers in sight, so the tremendous noise did not attract any attention.

After unleashing that slash, Qin Zheng didn’t lag or hesitate, gripping the Ghost Head Greatsword firmly as he took a step forward, ready to strike down once more.

Strike while the enemy is ill, take their life!

Today, I will make you pay your blood debt in full; you came with a life, but you shall leave without!

Roar!!

At this critical juncture,

from beneath the ruins of the wall, a beastly roar suddenly erupted.

The sound surged like waves, rippling out layer by layer.

Next, a black paw emerged from the rubble, glinting with the sheen of cold iron, slapping towards the Ghost Head Greatsword in Qin Zheng’s hands.

Clang!!

A loud and crisp clash rang out.

Immediately after, Qin Zheng’s body uncontrollably staggered backward.

At the same time, from beneath the rubble, a tall, pitch-black figure slowly rose.

Blending with the dark night, this figure was almost one with the shadows.

But upon closer inspection, one could see that it was a Black Bear Spirit, standing more than three meters tall!

“You vile creature, you have truly enraged me!!”

The Black Bear Spirit looked at the deep, bone-showing gash on its paw, and with its voice dripping with anger, roared at Qin Zheng.

Meanwhile, Qin Zheng’s face remained cool, his eyes swirling with a piercing cold light.

Above his Heart Sea, the Merit Scroll gently vibrated, revealing a new line of characters.

[Bear Demon, a mixed-blood Half-Demon, deeply sinful.

Slaying it will yield twenty-one taels and three qian of merit!]

What a formidable mixed-blood Half-Demon!

Qin Zheng gripped the Ghost Head Greatsword tightly, took a step, and swung his blade down once more!

The Black Bear Spirit also took a stride, instantly hurtling a great distance away.

In almost a blink, the two clashed together again!

Bang!!!

This time, the massive figure of the Black Bear Spirit was once again sent flying backward, harshly striking the ground and sliding all the way to the edge of the temple.

Upon its body, another deep and terrible gash had been added!

“Roar!

How is this possible?!!”

“There’s no sign of an open Life Wheel on you, not even a Grandmaster—I can’t believe you possess such strength!!”

The Black Bear Spirit, in pain but still swiftly pulling itself up, roared reluctantly at Qin Zheng.

As a Half-Demon, especially of the strength-focused Black Bear lineage, how could it be overpowered by a member of the human race still refining their body?

But Qin Zheng paid no mind to its roaring.

He stepped forward, closing in on the Black Bear Spirit once again.

The Greatsword rent the air, as if carrying the force of sword qi.

A fierce glint appeared in the eyes of the Black Bear Spirit as a black radiance surged through its body, causing it to swell in size once more!

Then, its enlarged paws slapped towards the approaching Ghost Head Greatsword!

However, this time, Qin Zheng did not retreat as before.

With the sharpness of the Ghost Head Greatsword, wrapped in enormous force, it swiftly severed through the attacking bear paw and then descended towards the head of the bear.

“Stop!!!”

The Black Bear Spirit urgently cried out in alarm at that moment.

But how could it have any effect?

A single slash fell, and the massive bear’s head tumbled through the air.

At the same time, blood gushed like a fountain, the extremely foul-smelling demon blood spurting from the neck.

On the ground, the headless body of the Black Bear Spirit convulsed a few times before becoming still.

Though his face remained calm, Qin Zheng’s body was shaking almost imperceptibly.

After all, it was a demon known for its strength.

Killing this Black Bear Spirit had cost him more than he had anticipated.

But that no longer mattered.

Qin Zheng walked over, carrying the Black Bear Spirit’s head, into the temple’s main hall.

He then placed it in front of the pile of tattered clothes and broken bones.

After that, Qin Zheng recalled the verses the old monk would always chant outside the execution ground.

He set down the Ghost Head Greatsword, brought his hands together in prayer, and silently recited them.

Only after he was done did he tidy up the clothes and bones on the ground, took the bear’s head, and turned to leave the temple.

Executing Qinggong, he skimmed away like a shadow.

With the help of Zhang Wei, head of the Canal Gang, he found a decent spot and buried the clothes and bones.

“Brother Qin, this time…

alas!”

Zhang Wei stood beside Qin Zheng, looking at the huge bear’s head on the ground and heaved a deep sigh.

He had not expected that seemingly noble and elegant Wuchang monk to actually be a monster!

He was genuinely startled when Qin Zheng presented the head upon arrival.

Immediately afterward, he was shocked by Qin Zheng’s strength.

A bear’s head this huge implied the monster’s strength was not something ordinary martial artists could handle.

Yet at the same time, his heart was filled with heavy concerns.

That Black Bear Spirit had been able to wear human skin to enter Black Goose City and had even become a favorite in front of Lord Gao.

Certainly not your average demon, but a monster with a background.

And now that Qin Zheng had slain this Black Bear Spirit, it was inevitable that he would offend whatever background it had.

Yet, at this moment, Qin Zheng seemed unconcerned about this.

It was still some time before dawn, and after settling the matters at hand, Qin Zheng thanked Zhang Wei.

Then, holding the massive bear’s head in one hand and clutching the Ghost Head Greatsword in the other, he used his Qinggong to quickly leave the scene.

Moments later, in the southern city courtyard, Qin Zheng’s figure appeared.

He first casually tossed the bear’s head onto the ground.

Then he went inside the house, sat on the bed, and let out a heavy breath.

He had not expected a Half-Demon to be able to fully manifest its demonic body.

Thus, slaying this Black Bear Spirit appeared easy, but in reality, it was filled with great danger.

After the demon manifest its true form and repelled him with a palm strike, Qin Zheng didn’t hesitate even for a moment and immediately enhanced his Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.

Therefore, in killing the Black Bear, Qin Zheng had overextended his use of power.

With that thought, Qin Zheng’s mind moved, and he began inspecting the Merit Scroll.

[Qin Zheng]

[Lifespan: 70 (17)]

[Martial Arts: Five Viscera Internal Refining Technique (Minor Achievement), Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique (Sixth Layer), Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique (Great Achievement)…]

[Merit: Fifty-four taels and eight qian]

[Current Martial Art·Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique can be enhanced, needs One Tael of Merit, would you like to enhance it?]

[Current Martial Art·Great Sun Golden Cicada Technique can be enhanced, needs eight taels of Merit, would you like to enhance it?]

[Current Martial Art·Five Viscera Internal Refining Technique can be enhanced, needs ten taels of Merit, would you like to enhance it?]

He killed a group of fake monks and slayed a real demon.

His Merit was more abundant than ever before!

Without any hesitation, Qin Zheng immediately thought to himself, “Enhance Martial Arts·Five Viscera Internal Refining Technique!”
