Chapter 121: Disturbing Qingzhou's Stability, a Man Who Can Slay Demons!



Yong'an Prefecture, Geng Word Camp.

At this moment, the scene was filled with silence.

Even though the crowd had witnessed Qin Zheng's battle prowess before, they had already anticipated such an outcome in their hearts.

However, seeing Qin Zheng's crushing defeat of two Grandmasters with such ease, still left the Geng Word Camp's crowd in awe.

It's worth knowing that from the moment Qin Zheng entered the tent to when he emerged with bloody hands, only a short moment had passed!

And within this short moment, two Grandmasters of the same realm as the Grand General had perished in the Geng Word Camp!

Such overwhelmingly powerful battle prowess.

The crowd watched Qin Zheng in awe, momentarily unsure of what to say.

Until Pei Qing stepped forward, and Qin Zheng spoke, did the crowd's minds return to them.

Then, at Qin Zheng's instruction, Pei Qing executed the arrangement, and some Patrol Officers entered the tent to carry out the corpses and clean the tent.

The rest continued their normal training, maintaining the Geng Word Camp's regular operations, ensuring it wouldn't be affected.

Qin Zheng, on the other hand, went to wash the blood off his hands and headed towards a newly set-up tent.

Shi Xinhan was sent to slay demons but was ambushed and tortured to death by a monster.

Such a person is worthy of being called a heroic martyr!

Those two Grandmasters from the Governor's Mansion treated his remains as if they were garbage, casually discarding and tearing them apart.

This had already crossed Qin Zheng's bottom line, igniting his fury.

So, Qin Zheng didn't care about cleanliness; he directly smashed one person and crushed another.

Such violent deaths of two people finally calmed the fire in his heart.

Including the previous one, he had slain three Grandmasters from the Governor's Mansion within a day.

Qin Zheng had thoroughly clashed with the High State Governor.

In a barren place like Qingzhou, three Grandmasters already possessed the formidable foundation to suppress one side.

Even if that High State Governor had the backing of the Quanyang Gao Clan, it's unlikely they could easily cultivate three Grandmasters.

However, Qin Zheng had already clashed with the Gao Clan and wasn't afraid of bearing more grudges.

The most important thing at present is to stabilize Yong'an Prefecture, or rather, to stabilize all of Qingzhou!

No one, be it human or demon, must be allowed to muddy the waters of Qingzhou, distracting General Wei Wuji!

Regardless of the situation, he must swiftly cut through the chaos, ensuring that Qingzhou's stability isn't affected in the slightest.

As long as the General slays that soon-to-be-promoted Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign and frees his hands, he will be able to handle various situations.

Qin Zheng's expression remained calm, and as his eyes flashed, thoughts emerged in his mind.

"What's next?"

At this moment, the tent's curtain was lifted, and Xu Qingling slowly walked in.

Her expression was slightly solemn at this moment.

After all, Qin Zheng had killed the Grandmasters under that High State Governor, who were the Quanyang Gao Clan's Grandmasters.

That High State Governor probably wouldn't let this go, and there might be other actions to follow.

Qin Zheng raised his head, his gaze falling on Xu Qingling, and he spoke in a deep voice, "Send news of what happened here to Linyuan City."

Then, his eyes turned slightly cold, and he continued, "Regardless of what that High State Governor wants to do, our duty is to maintain Qingzhou's stability. Anyone, be it human or demon, who dares to disrupt this stability will be killed!"

The current situation doesn't allow Qin Zheng to think too much or consider how to navigate various powers.

Only by demonstrating thunderous might and deterring the petty can the current stability of Qingzhou be better maintained!

This will also allow Wei Wuji to focus entirely on dealing with that Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign.

Seeing Qin Zheng's determination, Xu Qingling nodded and then said, "Master has sent Fu Yu to the Great Martial Academy in the capital, to request for powerful assistance."

"Once the people from the Great Martial Academy arrive and assist Master in slaying that Cangyuan Dragon Sovereign, things should get better."

Qin Zheng nodded first, then slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "The Great Martial Academy?"

Xu Qingling saw that he didn't understand and immediately explained, "The Great Martial Academy is the Great Martial Saint Land of the Great Jin. It's also the place governed by the leader of all the Great Jin's martial institutions."

"Our Demon Slayers' resources also come from the Great Martial Academy."

"I don't know much, but I know that place collects all the Great Jin's divine martial arts and divine skills. There are also Martial Saints teaching there, making it the place all Great Jin martial artists aspire to go."

Qin Zheng nodded as if he understood.

He didn't care about Martial Saints teaching there.

However, the fact that it collected all the Great Jin's divine martial arts and divine skills attracted Qin Zheng.

With the Merit Scroll's ability, as long as there's enough merit and powerful cultivation methods, even if one cultivates alone without guidance, they can still reach the pinnacle and attain the peak!

Qin Zheng temporarily remembered this place, then turned to look at Xu Qingling, whose face was still slightly pale, and said, "You should also go and rest."

"Whether it's the High State Governor or those unruly demons, I doubt they'll let this place calm down easily."

Xu Qingling nodded solemnly and then turned to leave.

Although she appeared frail before Qin Zheng, she was a Great Grandmaster and a direct disciple of the Commander-in-Chief, so her combat strength was naturally not weak!

If something were to happen next, she would definitely need to step in.

This was also one of the reasons the Commander-in-Chief had her come here.

However, it seemed that both she and the Commander-in-Chief had underestimated Qin Zheng's true strength.

After she left, Qin Zheng placed the Ghost Head Saber in front of him and gently caressed the blade.

This Ghost Head Saber, passed down from generation to generation, had claimed countless heads, and its malevolent qi was heavy.

Now in Qin Zheng's hands, with the heads he had claimed and the acquired weapon refinement technique, he had absorbed the blood essence of four Demon Sage Realm Demons.

This Ghost Head Saber had already undergone a transformation, and a faint reddish glow emanated from the blade.

Feeling the cold, sinister malevolent qi within the blade, Qin Zheng slowly closed his eyes and began to rest and adjust.

Next, let's see whose head will be claimed by this saber!

The Lingyang River roared, wide and mighty, the first great river in Yong'an Prefecture.

Although this river was wide, it was shallow, so while there were many monsters in it, there were no powerful demons.

Additionally, the remote location, far from human cities, meant these monsters couldn't significantly impact the people of Yong'an Prefecture.

Hence, the supervision of the G Word Camp here wasn't as strict as in other Demon Mountains.

Under the vast river, a massive dark shadow appeared, its body stretching nearly tens of meters.

As this figure swam, bursts of blood bloomed beneath the surface.

The river quickly turned crimson with thick blood.

Boom! At that moment, the dark shadow suddenly shot into the sky.

Like a water jar, its body, nearly tens of meters long, burst out of the water, creating a towering wave.

Then, this figure twisted and contracted in mid-air.

By the time it landed, it had transformed into a young man with a gloomy face, wearing a dark robe.

On his forehead were two slightly swollen bumps, looking rather peculiar.

He reached out and gently wiped the corner of his mouth, still stained with a trace of crimson blood, before turning his gaze towards the forest across the river.

"Let's go."

He spoke, and from the forest, a giant chameleon dragon emerged amidst a play of light and shadow.

"Even the chameleon dragon is at a critical juncture of advancement, yet it's been called here to help?"

The chameleon dragon twisted and transformed into a short, obese man.

"My bloodline holds no hope for true dragonhood."

The gloomy man calmly replied, then turned his back, crossing his arms behind his head as he strode off in a certain direction.

The obese man followed suit.

"Since we're in this Great Jin, why not fill our bellies before taking that child's life?"

The two demons walked side by side as the obese man spoke.

But as soon as he finished, the gloomy man's steps halted.

The obese man rejoiced, thinking his companion was also tempted.

However, as he followed the gloomy man's gaze to a figure in the distant mountains, his expression grew serious, and he slowly closed his mouth.

"How did you find us?"

The chameleon dragon, transformed into a gloomy man, asked first.

There, a young man in a golden-patterned dark robe, holding a Dragon Sinew Bow, stared at them with a cold expression.

As the chameleon dragon spoke, a flash of light burst forth, accompanied by a thunderous boom!

Without further ado, a sense of life-and-death crisis instantly arose in the hearts of the two demons!

After Shi Xinhuan was silently replaced by a demon, whether it was Qin Zheng's request or the initiative of the G Word Camp,

The entire Yong'an Prefecture underwent the most meticulous surveillance, leaving no trace of demonic aura unnoticed.

Even the eight deputy commanders within the G Word Camp, the three deputy commanders brought by Qin Zheng, and the five deputy commanders Xu Qingling brought, all participated.

Except for Pei Qing, who remained in the main camp handling various affairs, the others dispersed throughout Yong'an Prefecture, each leading large groups of Demon Slayer Patrols to track down any trace of monsters.

Consequently, at this moment, any monster entering Yong'an Prefecture would quickly come to Qin Zheng's attention.

Weaker monsters were dealt with by the deputy commanders themselves.

For the stronger ones, Xu Qingling would take care of them.

Regarding the most powerful ones, Qin Zheng would personally handle them.

At this moment, as an arrow was shot out, two Great Demons immediately tried to dodge.

But with Qin Zheng's current strength, the power of this arrow was such that even if both Great Demons were in the Demonic Sage Realm, they couldn't easily evade it!

The arrow was released, shaking the heavens and the earth!

In an instant, there was nowhere to hide!

Bang!

The arrow suddenly pierced through the shadowy man's arm, causing a ball of blood to explode.

Roar!!

His face contorted in agony, and he let out a painful roar. His body then twisted, revealing his massive Demon body.

The plump man, having avoided the arrow, was overjoyed. He took a step back, ready to hide in the wilderness.

But at that moment, a large hand, which seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, was already placed on his head, and a vast force poured into his body like a flood.

Then, a flash of blade light swept by.

The plump man's joyful expression froze, and his large head detached from his neck, only to be casually tossed aside.

The figure in the golden-patterned dark robe then took another step forward, without pausing, and headed towards the transformed Dragon Demon.

After a moment,

【Discovered Item: Dragon Lord Demon Core, can be refined. Refinement requires 1 jin of merit. Refine?】

【Note: Refinement grants Martial Art: Water Shadow Swordkill】

【Note: Consuming the same type of Demon Core can offset the merit required for refinement. Consume the Dragon Lord Demon Core to offset the merit required for refining the Dragon Demon Core?】

A huge Dragon Demon corpse lay across the wilderness.

A Ghost Head Saber, shimmering with a faint light, was stuck in the Dragon Demon's corpse.

Beside the Dragon Demon's corpse, Qin Zheng held a Demon Core emitting heat, his mind focused on the words on the merit scroll.

What surprised him the most was the last line.

Consuming the same type of Demon Core can offset the merit required for refining higher-level Demon Cores!

Previously, Xiang Qingyu had given him a Dragon Demon Core, which, when refined, would grant him the Talent: River Flipping Sea Turning.

However, refining this Demon Core required a full 1,000 jin of merit, an enormous amount that couldn't be accumulated in a short time.

So, Qin Zheng had put aside the Dragon Demon Core without attempting to refine it.

Even though the rewards from refining the Dragon Demon Core seemed enticing,

Now, consuming the same type of Demon Core could offset the required merit.

Qin Zheng didn't hesitate and immediately decided, thinking to himself: "Consume!"

Instantly, the Demon Core emitting heat in his hand disappeared, and a new line of text appeared in its place.

【Discovered Item: Dragon Demon Core, can be refined. Requires 800 jin of merit. Refine?】

800 jin. It was reduced by 200 jin.

Eight hundred jin still seemed like a substantial amount.

But by continuously slaying Dragon Demons and offsetting the merit, this number would gradually decrease.

Given the current situation in Qingzhou, it might not take long to refine this Dragon Demon Core!

Qin Zheng thought to himself, and then he turned his attention to another Demon Core.

【Discovered Item: Evasive Demon Core, can be refined. Refinement requires 1 jin of merit. Refine?】

【Note: Refinement grants Martial Art: Thousand Faces Concealment】

"Refine!" Qin Zheng silently mouthed.

The merit was deducted, and the martial art instantly flowed into Qin Zheng's mind.

Strictly speaking, this martial art wasn't exceptionally powerful and didn't significantly enhance Qin Zheng's combat strength.

However, upon mastering it, he could alter his appearance and conceal his aura.

It was still a decent auxiliary martial art.

Refinement complete.

Qin Zheng drew out the Ghost Head Saber from the Dragon Demon's corpse.

He flashed like a golden light, quickly leaving this remote wilderness and reaching the outside.

At this time, a group of Demon Slayer Patrols were waiting there.

Qin Zheng's Demon Horse was also present.

"Sir Qin!"

A Demon Slayer Patrol approached and respectfully called out.

He also handed Qin Zheng a piece of paper, saying, "This is a message from General Pei."

Qin Zheng took the paper and opened it, revealing the following message:

'The third son of the Gao Clan in Qin Yang Prefecture specifically requested a meeting, with ill intentions.'

Symptoms worsened, with incessant coughing. Today is still 4,000 words, 2,000 words less, and I sincerely apologize!

Next week, I'll strive to make up for the missing words on the day of recommendation. Yesterday was 2,000, today is 2,000, and the promised extra chapters upon the recommendation total 7,000 words.

Dizziness persists.
