Chapter 120: Crushing the Grand Grandmaster!

Chapter 120: Crushing the Grand Grandmaster!



Qingzhou, outside the Yong'an Prefecture, fifty li away.

As the carriage slowly moved forward, a man riding a Demon Horse, his face filled with solemnity, stared at the passing carriage.

When the luxurious carriage appeared, he changed his expression, respectfully approached the carriage, and said, "Third Young Master."

The reading voice inside the carriage stopped.

The man then continued, "Lord Hu, Lord Zhou, and Lord Mo, the three of them entered Yong'an Prefecture ahead of time to gather intelligence!"

"I heard that the one who recently killed the Lingming Deer Demon in Linyuan City is the same mud-legged man who killed the Eighth Young Master not long ago."

"This person's promotion is rapid, and in a short time, he is already capable of slaying top-tier Great Demons in the Demonic Sage Realm. He must have encountered some great fortune!"

"However, since we've come, this fortune is destined to belong to the Third Young Master!"

After hearing the man finish speaking, the carriage fell silent for a few breaths.

Immediately after, he spoke with compassion, "The sufferings of all living beings are profound. I still lack a Lamp-Holder Divine Envoy. If he is willing to take up the role, I won't take his life."

Waiting for the voice inside the carriage to stop, the man respectfully said, "Third Young Master, your compassion is boundless!"

On the way back to the Geng Word Camp.

Qin Zheng rode a Demon Horse, staying among the crowd, to control the overall situation and prevent any sudden changes.

Precisely at that moment, a figure slowly fell behind and approached him.

"Little Master Qin Zheng, what realm are you currently in?"

Xu Qingling had been feeling somewhat lost on her journey.

After hesitating and struggling for a long time, she finally asked Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng, upon hearing this, turned to look at this equally young Little Master Sister.

Becoming a Grandmaster at the age of nineteen and also becoming the Commander's Direct Disciple, her natural talent was indeed exceptional.

However, being injured twice in the hands of Great Demons and then rescuing herself, seemed to have already affected her spirit.

But being an exceptional individual, she couldn't be compared to ordinary people.

These thoughts turned in Qin Zheng's mind.

He thought for a moment and said, "My realm is still at the Grandmaster level, but I possess natural divine strength, so my combat power naturally can't be tied to my realm."

Speaking of this, Qin Zheng looked at Xu Qingling and smiled, "Master Sister, at such a young age, you've already become a Grandmaster. Given time, you'll surely soar to new heights."

"As for me, for now, I can rely on this natural divine strength to suppress Great Demons, but when more powerful demons appear in the future, it won't be enough."

"In this vast Great Jin Dynasty, there are indeed individuals with natural divine strength, but Master Sister, I've never heard of anyone daring to challenge Martial Saints, have you?"

Realm is the foundation of strength!

Although the strength of power can influence the height of combat power, when the realm gap is too vast, it's far beyond what power can compensate for.

For example, upon reaching the Grandmaster realm, one can manifest Essence Energy, empowering their weapons and enhancing their combat power.

Upon reaching the Martial Saint realm, there will surely be another huge transformation.

At that realm, the physical body undergoes a metamorphosis, and even if one doesn't possess natural divine strength, their power will still become extraordinarily vast.

Not to mention the other Martial Saint features that will definitely appear.

However, these are all regarding ordinary individuals with natural divine strength.

I myself don't possess natural divine strength; my entire strength comes from the Merit Scroll and relies entirely on the Lion Elephant Wisdom Dharma.

I don't know how powerful the strength of Martial Saints is, but Qin Zheng's own strength has no limit!

As long as his physical body is strong enough and his merit accumulation is sufficient, he can improve without restriction!

Even against a Martial Saint, will one hundred layers of Lion Elephant Wisdom Dharma be enough?

If not, one hundred and fifty layers, two hundred layers, or even three hundred layers!

When strength reaches a certain level, everything becomes illusory, and all can be shattered with a single punch!

Of course, one's family knows their own affairs, and Qin Zheng wouldn't reveal these circumstances.

Upon hearing Qin Zheng's words, Xu Qingling's heart indeed felt much better.

Thinking of how she had exceptional talent, sweeping through her peers.

And later, she was taken in as the Commander's Direct Disciple, at the age of barely ten, she had already opened seven Life Wheels, connecting the Heaven-Earth Bridge, and became a Grandmaster!

With such talent, she could sweep through the entire Qingzhou!

But her pride was soon shattered by Qin Zheng's appearance.

Younger in age, stronger in combat power, and with this incident, she had already been saved by Qin Zheng twice.

This filled her heart with mixed emotions.

But upon hearing Qin Zheng's words, her heart also became clear.

Yes, Little Master Brother's combat power is formidable, but it's due to his natural divine strength, not his martial arts realm.

As long as she continued to cultivate, and her realm rose higher, there would surely come a day when she would erase the advantage brought by Little Master Brother's natural divine strength.

At that moment, it was time for her to take action and save her junior disciple!

With this thought, her mood improved significantly.

She immediately turned to Qin Zheng and said, "Junior Disciple, if you encounter any danger in the future, I, as your senior disciple, will surely do my utmost to assist you!"

Her entire demeanor no longer exuded despondency and decadence, and she became lively again.

Even her address for Qin Zheng changed from "Qin Zheng" to "Junior Disciple."

Qin Zheng chuckled lightly and nodded, saying, "Good!"

After Xu Qingling had recovered, she also mounted her horse and rode to the front of the team.

Qin Zheng was at the rear, and she was at the forefront, ensuring that any potential accidents could be averted.

Meanwhile, the group gradually approached closer to the Geng Word Camp.

Half a day later, the outline of the Geng Word Camp had already appeared in the sight of several people.

Similar to the N Character Camp, the Geng Word Camp was also located in the middle of several prefectural cities in Yong'an Prefecture, making it convenient to travel to various places.

When their team entered the Geng Word Camp, all the Demon Slayer Patrolmen inside stopped their actions and looked respectfully towards Qin Zheng, who was at the back of the team.

Regarding this force that had turned the tide and suppressed the monsters, saving Yong'an Prefecture from crisis, no one in the Geng Word Camp was dissatisfied or disrespectful.

"Continue to keep a close eye on all directions, and report any movements promptly!"

After entering the Geng Word Camp, Qin Zheng looked towards Pei Qing, who was standing by his side, and said,

Pei Qing, as the original second-in-command of the Geng Word Camp, was asked by Qin Zheng, who had temporarily taken over the camp, to stay in the main camp and manage all affairs.

As for the other deputy commanders, Qin Zheng instructed them to lead their respective teams and disperse throughout Yong'an Prefecture, keeping a close watch for any signs of powerful monsters entering.

If they discovered anything, they were to use the Demon Slayer's unique communication method to quickly send messages.

Qin Zheng intended to use thunderous means to deter the powerful monsters that had taken an interest in Yong'an Prefecture.

Anyone who entered Yong'an Prefecture would face only one outcome: death!

This was why he had rushed over in time to save Xu Qingling and slay the Centipede Demon and the Masked Spider Demon.

After the Geng Word Camp suffered the loss of the Demon Slayer Grand General to the monster's body-stealing calamity, their hatred towards these monsters had reached its peak, so they were extremely meticulous in their investigations.

Pei Qing nodded but had a slightly unnatural expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zheng asked with a slight frown.

Pei Qing glanced at the others and then stepped forward and whispered to Qin Zheng, "General Qin, High State Governor has sent two Grandmasters. They say they want to take over the Geng Word Camp and are currently in the Demon Slayer Grand General's tent."

"I, your subordinate, don't know what to do."

Although Pei Qing was affiliated with the Demon Slayers, these were still two Grandmasters, and they were sent by the High State Governor.

Despite having a thousand unwilling thoughts in his heart, he couldn't make a scene. He could only entertain the two Grandmasters and wait for Qin Zheng's return.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.

Two more?

This High State Governor seemed determined to take over Yong'an Prefecture's Geng Word Camp.

Otherwise, why would they send three Grandmasters at once!

"What's wrong?"

At this moment, sensing the unusual atmosphere, Xu Qingling also stepped forward and asked.)



Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "We have unwelcome guests. Let's temporarily stay away from the Demon Slayer Grand General's tent. I'll go and meet these two."

After saying this, he took a step forward and headed towards the Demon Slayer Grand General's tent in the Geng Word Camp.

Pei Qing watched Qin Zheng leave, looking somewhat hesitant, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Don't worry. Even with two more Grandmasters, they won't be able to affect him."

Xu Qingling spoke up at the right moment, and her hand holding the great halberd tightened slightly.

As a Grandmaster herself, how could she not have heard what Pei Qing had just said to Qin Zheng?

Three Grandmasters coming to Yong'an Prefecture

The High State Governor's covetous intentions towards Yong'an Prefecture were no longer concealed!

If this situation continued, it was very likely that Master would clash with the other party!

Xu Qingling's eyes became slightly solemn.

If it were an ordinary time, they would naturally not fear the High State Governor, even if he had the Quanyang Gao Clan backing him. But the Demon Slayers had the Great Jin Dynasty's support!

However, now that the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign was about to be promoted, Master's energy was mostly focused on him, and he probably didn't have any spare energy to deal with this High State Governor.

She only hoped that Fu Yu Shixiong's trip to the capital would succeed in inviting a powerful expert from the Great Martial Academy to assist Master in slaying the Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign.

As long as this malignant tumor was removed, Master would also be able to free up his hands to counterbalance the High State Governor.

This was what Xu Qingling was thinking in her heart.

At this moment, Qin Zheng also lifted the curtain of the Demon Slayer Grand General's tent and stepped inside.

Before him, a scene of chaos unfolded. Various items that once belonged to Shi Xinhuan were strewn carelessly on the ground, while paintings and calligraphy were torn to pieces.

Two figures, one on each side, continued their search for Shi Xinhuan's belongings, tossing them aside like garbage. As Qin Zheng entered, they halted and turned to face him.

"So, you're Qin Zheng?"

"Perfect timing. I assume Master Hu has already informed you of our purpose here."

"The Geng Word Camp of Yong'an County will temporarily be under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion. Gather some men to clean up this mess."

A slender man with a goatee looked at Qin Zheng with a casual air, waving his hand in command.

After speaking, he turned to continue searching for traces of Shi Xinhuan within the tent.

Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, and without responding, he strode towards the two men.

His movement immediately caught the attention of the two Gao Clan Grandmasters.

They turned, and the goateed man raised an eyebrow, smirking as he spoke to Qin Zheng, "What do you think you're doing?"

He was a Grandmaster, while the young man before him was merely a Master.

He wanted to see just how capable a Master Realm Martial Artist could be to slay a Demon Sage Realm Great Demon.

Was it genuine skill or the use of some special treasure?

Meanwhile, a plump man narrowed his eyes, his gaze shifting outside the tent as he spoke, "Why isn't Hu Dawei here?"

Ignoring them, Qin Zheng took a step forward and suddenly reached out.

Like a sharp arrow, he clamped down on the goateed man's shoulder.

The man with the goatee chuckled lightly, attempting to break free.

A Master Realm Martial Artist daring to restrain a Grandmaster with his bare hands? He would teach him a lesson by shattering his hand!

But the next moment, his expression changed abruptly.

The force on his shoulder was no weaker than his own, if not stronger!

No, it was definitely stronger!

Crackling! The sound of shattering bones echoed within the tent.

"Ahhhh!!!"

A hideous scream of agony followed.

"How dare you?!!!"

On the other side, the plump man's expression changed, and his aura surged as Essence Energy burst from his body.

But at that moment, Qin Zheng, still gripping the goateed man, unleashed his full strength without reservation.

Whoosh! Boom!!

In Qin Zheng's grasp, the goateed man was like a chicken, lifted and then slammed forcefully onto the ground.

His head hit the ground first, and like a watermelon, it exploded, spraying blood and brain matter everywhere.

The goateed man's body twitched once before going still.

All this happened in an instant.

Just as the plump man was about to unleash his Essence Energy and charge forward, he witnessed Qin Zheng's brutal killing of the goateed man. His body trembled slightly, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

"You've killed a Grandmaster from the Governor's Mansion! The High State Governor won't let you get away with this!"

He shouted a harsh threat.

Simultaneously, his body tensed, and he dashed towards the tent entrance.

But just then, a golden light flashed, and a large hand appeared, clamping down on his head, stopping him just a step away from the tent curtain.

"Let go of me!!!"

He shouted.

But then, a piercing scream filled the air.

Qin Zheng's long fingers opened wide, gripping the man's head tightly as he gradually applied more force.

In this state, the plump man's Essence Energy instantly dissipated, and the excruciating pain rendered him immobile.

Qin Zheng's eyes turned cold, and he abruptly increased the pressure.

Boom!

The man's head exploded like a watermelon, spraying blood and brain matter in all directions, staining the ground.

Two Grandmasters met their end.

Outside the tent, the onlookers watched with tense gazes.

Two screams and the sound of something exploding had unnerved the Demon Slayer Patrol officers.

After all, they were Grandmasters from the Governor's Mansion, and there were two of them.

They wondered if Qin Zheng would be able to negotiate a favorable outcome with them.

As worry filled the crowd, Qin Zheng emerged from the tent, his hands covered in blood.

"Elder Qin!"

Pei Qing hurried forward, addressing Qin Zheng respectfully.

"Get some people to clean up in there."

Qin Zheng spoke calmly.
