NOVEL WEB Chapter 538 Forcing Retreat
Fang Canghai saw Han Zheng coming, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he hadn't misplaced his trust, and Han Zheng indeed came.
At this moment, Han Zheng was surrounded by boundless demonic qi, with a blood river beneath his feet, looking at Si Tianli with a grim gaze.
"Si Tianli, what do you mean by leading the Dingnan Army to attack the Xuanyang Martial Sect? The Southern Mountain cannot allow your wanton behavior!"
Si Tianli, holding the Blood Killing Dragon Spear in his hand, said with a half-smile: "Lord Han, I am here in the Southern Mountain under orders to help you suppress these martial world forces. If you do not help me, fine, but now you're helping these martial world forces? What reasoning is this?"
"The Xuanyang Martial Sect has already corrected its ways and stands with my Demon Cleansing Bureau against the Smell Fragrance Sect, so they are naturally considered allies."
Si Tianli gently shook his head and said: "From my perspective, that's not the case. The Xuanyang Martial Sect also once set up a magic platform, forcibly making civilians kneel and worship, which is typical cult behavior.
Lord Han, you are still young, do not be deceived by these people.
These martial world folks are treacherous and deceitful, they say they've corrected their ways now, but who knows when they might rebel again!"
Han Zheng squinted at Si Tianli: "General Si, are you teaching me how to do things? This is the Southern Mountain, and I decide the situation here!"
Si Tianli said coldly: "Lord Han, you're quite domineering, but you may decide the Southern Mountain, but you cannot control the Dingnan Army.
I am ordered here to suppress these martial world sects, and I do not obey your orders, Han Zheng.
In my view, the Xuanyang Martial Sect is guilty and should be eradicated!"
Han Zheng suddenly revealed a smile: "I've been wondering from the beginning why you insist on coming to the Southern Mountain, and I still don't understand.
But I've suddenly realized this issue is not important, if you dare to touch my people, you're asking for death!"
As his words fell, Han Zheng directly cast a seal technique, boundless demonic qi surged wildly, combined with the Killing Intent Origin, attached to the Heavenly Demon Transformation, turning into a fierce giant blade of black and red, glowing with a chilling aura.
As Han Zheng's blade fell, it was as if the wailing of ten thousand ghosts arose between heaven and earth, infinite black death demonic qi instantly enveloped the area!
In front of the Yama Hall, the Hell Gate opened!
Fengdu Netherworld Blade, Yama Slash!
Si Tianli's face changed slightly, shouting: "Han Zheng! You actually attacked my Dingnan Army for these martial world sects, you're truly out of touch with reality, unreasonable! I will surely report this to the court!"
Han Zheng acted decisively, which Si Tianli truly did not expect.
One belongs to the military, the other to the Demon Cleansing Bureau, in terms of rank, Si Tianli, as the Great General of the Wu Wei Sixteen Forces, is actually above Han Zheng.
Anyone else, even if Ren Tianying, the Garrison Commander of Southern Mountain, came to confront him, would have to think twice, he truly did not expect Han Zheng to be so reckless.
"Out of touch with reality? Who's with you?"
Whatever Si Tianli intended, Han Zheng no longer deemed it necessary to investigate.
He only knew that if Si Tianli dared to act against the Xuanyang Martial Sect, he was targeting his own foundation, looking for death!
Si Tianli twirled the Blood Killing Dragon Spear, launching countless blood-colored spear shadows, striking against the Yama Slash, immediately releasing unbounded Blood Slaughter Demon Qi.
Sensing the power of Han Zheng's strike, Si Tianli's face changed slightly.
Although Han Zheng had yet to reach the Yang God Realm, his strength is almost like that of a true Great Grandmaster of the Yang God Realm, even stronger in terms of power!
Furthermore, the origin power wielded only by those at the Yang God Realm, Han Zheng could also control, even possessing two types!
His aberrant Demon Sword contained pure Demon Origin, while the sword skill was imbued with Killing Intent Origin.
The power unleashed by the fusion of the two origin powers was incredibly astonishing, causing Si Tianli to grunt as he felt a massive force from the confrontation.
With a shout, Si Tianli's surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi surged wildly, blood-colored patterns rippling around him.
He thrust the spear forward fiercely, each spear shadow transformed into a blood-colored flood dragon roaring toward Han Zheng.
Han Zheng formed a seal technique, amidst boiling qi and blood, the sounds of dragon roars and tiger howls suddenly echoed in heaven and earth.
With Dragon and Tiger Profound Qi supporting him, the blood-colored flood dragons formed by the spear shadows forced Han Zheng to retreat step by step, but failed to harm Han Zheng's true foundation.
Si Tianli's brows furrowed tightly, now realizing Han Zheng's degree of difficulty, no wonder the Demon Cleansing Bureau tasked him with pacifying the Southern Mountain's situation, no wonder the Prince advised him to be cautious dealing with Han Zheng.
Although he wasn't Yang God Realm, he was more troublesome than a true Great Grandmaster of the Yang God Realm.
His Martial Arts had virtually no weaknesses, both offensive and defensive prowess were astonishing.
At this moment, endless sword qi surged behind Si Tianli, the icy and sharp sword intent struck Si Tianli's heart, instantly making his hair stand on end, and he suddenly turned with a palm thrust.
Boundless blood-colored flames emerged from his palm, burning the heavens and earth, instantly creating an immense storm, dissolving the sword qi.
"Bu Tiange!"
Si Tianli's brows furrowed even tighter.
This Bu Tiange was a monster among monsters, possessing exceptionally strong capabilities.
The two of them working together indeed possessed the strength to kill most Yang God Realm martial artists.
Han Zheng and Bu Tiange joined forces, blade and sword combined, overwhelming attacks surged towards Si Tianli.
Yet Si Tianli's strength was exceptionally solid, his realm even reaching the late stage of the Yang God Realm, managing to perfectly fend off the attacks of Han Zheng and Bu Tiange.
The court had many Great Generals with Yang God Realm capabilities, but the Wu Wei Sixteen Forces were elite because, from top to bottom, they were far stronger than other military forces in various ways, always deployed by the court in times of severe rebellion.
As Great General of the Dingnan Army, regardless of his stance, Si Tianli's position was earned through countless battlefield achievements, with extremely rich combat experience, and his combat power was even stronger than Zuo Hanyu.
You could say that without using trump cards like Blood Prison Burning Sky, Han Zheng here would hardly stand a chance against him.
Moreover, only after coming to Southern Mountain did Han Zheng consecutively slay Yang God Grandmasters, using these accomplishments to cultivate Yang God, thereby gaining a stronger power foundation.
If it were at the time of his arrival in Southern Mountain, it might be Han Zheng and Bu Tiange defending against Si Tianli's attacks instead.
The three exchanged hundreds of moves in an instant, the ensuing Gang Qi Storm nearly tearing several hundred feet in front of the Xuanyang Martial Sect.
Fang Canghai seized the opportunity to catch his breath, directly swallowing several elixirs, not caring whether they were digested, explosively releasing the strongest Profound Yang Gang Qi to attack Si Tianli.
Though injured by Si Tianli previously, he still retained partial combat prowess.
Noticing his opponents turned into three, Si Tianli decisively unleashed an exceptionally powerful Blood Killing Power, the Blood Killing Dragon Spear in his hand swept out, creating a sky filled with spear shadows.
Just as others thought Si Tianli intended to counter, he abruptly withdrew from the battlefield and signaled the Dingnan Army to retreat.
"Han Zheng, you harbor these martial world forces, colluding with them, I will certainly report you to the court sooner or later!"
Si Tianli sneered, leading the Dingnan Army to retreat.
Han Zheng didn't pursue, because it was pointless to chase.
This Si Tianli's strength was stronger than he expected. Relying on just the three of them, even if they could kill Si Tianli, Han Zheng would have the certainty, but if the other decided to flee, Han Zheng truly couldn't catch them.
"Thank you, Lord Han, for your assistance."
Fang Canghai gratefully bowed to Han Zheng.
He now clearly saw that Han Zheng was indeed not of the same path as Si Tianli.
Although both were people of the court, Han Zheng genuinely fought with lethal intent just now.
"Sect Master Fang, no need to be courteous. Since you stand with me, Han Zheng, whether it's the Smell Fragrance Sect, other martial world forces, or even court people, none shall touch you!"
