I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

[Having assassinated a Perfect Warrior of the Innate Transcendence Realm, Han Zheng obtained four hundred Qi Blood Essences]

Holding the severed head, Han Zheng was very satisfied with the power of the Horror Purgatory Ghost King Form.

This type of attack, suddenly triggering great fear in the opponent's mental state, was something ordinary martial artists simply couldn't react to in time.

With proper coordination, it was even possible to achieve an instant kill against those in the realm of the Water and Fire Immortal Clothes, just as he had done just now.

However, this Feng Jinglin was somewhat too weak, with an incredibly fragile mental state.

After the Horror Purgatory Ghost King Form had triggered the fear in his heart, he couldn't even manage instinctive defenses.

Moreover, to only obtain four hundred Qi Blood Essences from killing him indicated that this guy was actually somewhat lacking in strength among most peak warriors of the Innate Transcendence Realm.

Han Zheng, holding the head, walked towards the bed where a beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, exuding exotic charm, lay.

She had been immobilized by Han Zheng, her acupuncture points sealed, and her eyes were filled with terror.

"Do not be afraid, miss. I have saved you in a way. Sharing a bed with such a useless man would have been a loss for you."

Han Zheng tapped her twice to unseal her acupuncture points and made a gesture for her to remain silent.

"Wait until I leave before you scream."

Having said that, Han Zheng left directly with the head.

The Yue Qin girl remained stunned for a long time, then suddenly caught sight of Feng Jinglin's headless body, turning pale and trembling all over.

"Murder!"

Han Zheng leaped down from the brothel window and went straight to the city gate, where he nailed Feng Jinglin's head to the city wall, blending into the night thereafter.

Han Zheng had lost his fear, then took it back.

When he had lost his fear, Han Zheng didn't really feel much difference.

At most, it made him immune when the Swallowing Ghost Child tried to trigger the fear in his mental state.

But when Han Zheng reclaimed his fear, he realized what true great fear should feel like.

The most fearful being for a person is not fierce demons, not powerful opponents, but the unknown.

Facing the unknown, a person becomes suspicious and paranoid, loses their composure, becomes indecisive, and eventually, is completely consumed by the vast fear of the unknown.

What Han Zheng was doing now was to trigger the fear in the hearts of the Feng family members.

An hour later.

The news that the fourth brother of the Feng family, Feng Jingyuan, had been beheaded spread through Xilin County.

Feng Jinglin's head was also hurriedly brought back to the Feng family house in a flurry.

Almost all forces in Xilin County were applauding this event.

The Feng family had been too hated in the past half year.

Previously, the Feng family had been somewhat orderly, but their strength had surged rapidly and their arrogance had become intolerable.

Especially this Feng Jinglin, who was always brash in his actions; him being beheaded was indeed satisfying for many.

Liu Gongzi, whose woman had been snatched and who had been publicly humiliated by him, even went so far as to settle all accounts of the Yichun Courtyard for that day.

Inside the Feng family mansion at this time.

Feng Jinglin's head was placed right in the center of the Council Hall, his eyes wide open as if he had seen some extremely terrifying scene.

Feng Jingyuan, the eldest of the Feng family, looked at Feng Jinglin's head with red eyes, his fists clenched as if he was struggling to contain his intense rage.

"Have you found out how he died? How did the Fourth Brother die?"

Feng Jingyuan, who was over fifty years old this year, was almost twice as old as Feng Jinglin.

Their father had been killed by a sworn enemy in early years, causing the Feng family's power and status to fall drastically.

As the eldest of the Feng family, Feng Jingyuan had protected his younger brothers and sustained the family; he genuinely cherished his siblings.

Especially the fourth and the fifth brothers, who were much younger than him – when their father died, these two were still under ten years old, and Feng Jingyuan had almost raised them like his own sons.

Now that Feng Jinglin was dead, one could only imagine the grief and anger in Feng Jingyuan's heart.

"We've investigated, but there are no results.

The Fourth Brother was ambushed and beheaded in one stroke. The assailant was incredibly powerful, definitely at least at the Peak of the Innate Transcendence Realm, and his combat strength far exceeded that of the Fourth Brother.

I also interrogated the girl from Yichun Courtyard, but she too had been incapacitated with acupoint sealing, knowing nothing—only that the one who killed Fourth Brother was young.

Moreover, he had concealed his face with True Qi, so even she couldn't see what he looked like.

She could only confirm that the man was definitely not a citizen of Xilin County, as she remembered the voice of every person from Xilin County who had visited Yichun Courtyard."

Feng Jingqi stood up and responded.

He was just over twenty years old this year, handsome and sunny. As for his brother's death, Feng Jingqi didn't seem to be particularly sad.

Feng Jinglin had always been domineering since they were children and often bullied him, so their relationship wasn't very good.

Feng Jingyi, who was also in his early fifties this year, frowned and said, "Could it be that some powers within Xilin County invited assassins from outside to do this?

Since Fourth Brother is already dead, but I still have to say that he had been too arrogant lately, too much of a troublemaker.

Our Feng Family has been expanding its influence, and clashing is inevitable.

But Fourth Brother always initiated conflicts for no reason and enjoyed humiliating others.

Murder should have its limits, his habitual actions ensured resentment from others.

I heard that just tonight, he humiliated the young master of the Liu Family."

"Second Brother! Fourth Brother is already dead, and yet you still speak of him like this!"

Feng Jingqiao, in his thirties this year, had the best relationship with Feng Jinglin.

"Do you think our dealings with that certain individual were exposed, prompting the Court or even the Demon Cleansing Bureau to move against us?"

Feng Jingqi shook his head and said, "I don't think so; knowing the Demon Cleansing Bureau's style, if we were exposed, they would certainly have come directly to annihilate our entire family.

We Feng family had been prepared for this since we started this affair.

Once the Xuanjia Guards enter the city, our entire family would immediately disperse and flee.

The city guards have already been bribed by us, and the County Magistrate has nearly replaced them all with our people.

But during this time, there haven't even been a large number of Xuanjia Guards, nor a sizable number of outsiders at all.

The Demon Cleansing Bureau surely wouldn't send just one person to exterminate the entire Feng Family, right?

Our family, dozens of people, even if we were pigs, wouldn't just stand there to be slaughtered."

The three brothers were even arguing.

The second brother believed that it was because Feng Jinglin had been too ostentatious and hated, resulting in his assassination by a hired expert.

As long as their Feng family was careful and low-key, there shouldn't be any problems.

The third brother thought although Feng Jinglin was reckless in his actions, he didn't deserve to die, and which family would be willing to spend money to hire an expert just to kill Feng Jinglin?

He believed it was because their dealings with the Demons were exposed, and Feng Jinglin's death was a warning, and they needed to flee immediately.

The youngest, Feng Jingqi, didn't take sides. He felt it wasn't the Demon Cleansing Bureau's doing, but it also wasn't a simple act of revenge; a thorough investigation was needed.

"Stop arguing!"

Feng Jingyuan slammed the table and barked sharply.

After glancing at his brothers, Feng Jingyuan's eyes reddened as he said, "Over the years, our five brothers have sacrificed so much to finally let our Feng family regain a foothold in Xilin County.

Brothers are indispensable!

Fourth Brother is gone, and this matter must be resolved!

What Fifth Brother said is right, it's unlikely that the Demon Cleansing Bureau would come alone to wipe out our entire family.

But this incident doesn't seem like a mere act of vengeance, but more like a provocation against our Feng Family!

Therefore, we must investigate thoroughly!

Third Brother, you are the most cautious and meticulous on normal days and had the best relationship with Fourth Brother. Tomorrow, you take people to patrol the county city.

The rest will come with me to visit the other powers within the city; I want to see who dares to kill my brother!"

Feng Jingyuan's eyes were red, and his tone was filled with murderous intent.

While other noble families' brothers wouldn't necessarily be scheming against each other, their relationship wouldn't be as good as the Feng family's.

At least, what Feng Jingyuan valued the most was restoring his family's glory and his brothers.

The Feng family was only truly the Feng family with these brothers; if all these brothers died, even if the Feng family became the top noble family of Southern Mountain, what significance would that hold?
