I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World

Chapter 384: Ruthless



Bai Chengwen, the ancient ancestor of the Bai Family, was considered extremely mediocre in the Martial World.

Even within the Bai Family, some said this old ancestor was of little use.

But Han Zheng didn't feel that way.

Which person who had entered the Yang God Realm and achieved the rank of Great Grandmaster was simple?

As long as Bai Chengwen had stepped into the Yang God Realm, he definitely wasn't a mediocrity, at most his approach to handling affairs was somewhat mediocre.

Just look at the current Bai Family, each generation worse than the last, to the point where they can't even choose a successor now.

They said Bai Chengwen was mediocre, but in reality, the whole Bai Family couldn't find anyone who wasn't mediocre.

"Ancestor, why have you come? Haven't you been in closed-door cultivation for the past while, focusing on nurturing your vitality?"

Bai Songyuan gripped the Ice Giant Bow in his hands, his face full of despair.

The reason he dared to act so egregiously, so resolutely, was because he knew Bai Chengwen had recently been in closed-door cultivation to nurture his vitality.

Bai Chengwen was too old; his life span wasn't much to speak of when he broke through to the Yang God Realm, which is why he entered a state of vitality decline not long after stepping into the Yang God Realm.

Now Bai Chengwen had been in a state of vitality decline for nearly a hundred years, so every once in a while, Bai Chengwen would enter closed-door cultivation to nurture his vitality, attempting to live a little longer.

It was seizing this opportunity that Bai Songyuan conspired with the Black Mountain Demon.

By the time Bai Chengwen came out of closed-door cultivation, even if he hadn't stepped into the Yang God Realm, he could still effectively take control of the Bai Family.

By then, Bai Chengwen would naturally have the Black Mountain Demon to deal with, as promised to him.

But he never imagined that Bai Chengwen would suddenly break his cultivation retreat at such a time.

Moreover, he had bribed a direct descendant of the Bai Family, tasking him with monitoring the time of Bai Congwen's emergence from retreat, but he had failed to send any message.

Bai Chengwen let out a soft sigh: "Songyuan, I actually had high hopes for you. I'm getting old and might meet our ancestors at any moment; the future of the Bai Family will still be left to you all. Why are you in such a hurry?

Conspiring with demons, striking down your own family, how could you commit such heaven-defying, ancestor-erasing, and humanity-betraying acts?

Even if you do become the Family Head, could you really sit securely in that position, soaked with the blood of your kin?"

A faint smile appeared on Bai Songyuan's face, then the smile grew wider, until he burst into crazed laughter.

"Ancestor, you controlled the Bai Family for over a hundred years, indeed, I am no match for you.

At least I can't utter such high-sounding talk.

The future of the Bai Family left to me? That's utterly ludicrous!

As long as I haven't stepped into the Yang God Realm and don't possess absolute crushing strength, even if my abilities and strength surpass that of the useless Bai Yingxing, the position of Family Head will never be mine!

What's more, with nineteen branches of the Bai Family, isn't each one desperate and calculating in their bid for power?

When your line became the main branch, were your hands not stained with the blood of kin?

To the victor belong the spoils; I didn't anticipate your sudden emergence from closed-door cultivation, so it's only natural that I've lost."

Bai Chengwen paid no mind to Bai Songyuan's jeering, only sighing, "Surrender now, don't let your life go to waste."

"Surrender? Ancestor, if I were to surrender today, how could I even face calling myself a Bai Family disciple?"

Bai Songyuan, having reached this point today, had both strength and ambition; the only thing he lacked was timidity and hesitation.

Defeat was defeat, but even if there was just a sliver of a chance, he wouldn't choose to surrender.

As Bai Songyuan's words fell, a glaring blue glow burst forth from the Ice Giant Bow he held, eventually coalescing into an arrow tinged with black vapor.

The dark arrow, born from a fusion of Extreme Cold Gang Qi and Netherworld Power, possessed a ferocious and domineering might.

Bai Songyuan's vitality burned wildly around him, almost exerting his full strength to stabilize the arrow on his Ice Giant Bow.

With a shout from Bai Songyuan, the arrow flew from his hand, freezing and halting everything in its path, turning it all into a desolate realm!

Even Han Zheng's gaze revealed a trace of solemnity.

Bai Songyuan's shot was incredibly powerful. If Han Zheng were to take it, he would either have to release the third seal of the Heavenly Demon Transformation or use the Stealing Heaven Bow; there was no third option.

Yet, Bai Chengwen simply stood with his hands behind his back, gently shaking his head, and with a light tap in the air,

In an instant, a glint of cold light blossomed in the void.

For a moment, it seemed as if time and space had frozen, and the arrow fired by Bai Songyuan also hung suspended and then shattered inch by inch.

Yet the wave of power unleashed by his arrow was frozen in mid-air by Bai Chengwen's finger, frantically extending backward, heading straight for Bai Songyuan!

Bai Songyuan's blood qi burnt furiously, and as he rapidly retreated backward, his Ice Giant Bow fired repeatedly, but each shot was frozen by the power of Bai Chengwen's finger.

That finger was too fast and too fierce. Before Bai Songyuan could escape even thirty feet, his entire body was completely frozen in mid-air, turning into an ice sculpture.

Accompanied by a breeze, his entire figure instantly shattered like glass, yet not a single drop of blood flowed out.

"Damn it, Bai Chengwen that old bastard is really good at faking it. Sixty years ago, he looked half-dead, but I didn't expect he'd still be alive now, and his strength has actually improved," Yan Xuankong's voice emerged in Han Zheng's mind.

"Old Yan, are you saying Bai Chengwen has always been pretending? He isn't actually suffering from declining blood qi?"

Yan Xuankong snorted lightly, "Decline in blood qi is inevitable, he's not immortal. Even with all sorts of secret techniques and elixirs, it's impossible to postpone the declining of blood qi as one ages.

However, this old bastard's greatest skill is concealing his incompetence. Everyone thinks he's about to die, but in fact, this old man can definitely live for a much longer time.

The same goes for his strength. Everyone thinks that with declining blood qi, his combat power has weakened, but in reality, this guy's burst strength remains astonishing.

Just now, that Beiming Divine Finger was even more powerful than it was sixty years ago.

Those who underestimate this old man will most likely die a miserable death, just like Bai Songyuan."

Han Zheng silently nodded his head.

Bai Songyuan was truly pitiful.

After scheming for so long, he was finished off with a single finger by his own ancestor.

At this moment, the martial artists of Bai Family's third branch hadn't reacted yet, when Bai Chengwen uttered a word indifferently: "Kill!"

The martial artists of Bai Family's thirteenth branch were all stunned.

Was the ancestor asking them to kill the people of the third branch? But the problem was that they were no match for them.

Before they could recover, in the next moment, many direct descendants of Bai Family's main line burst out, slaughtering the people of the third branch without any mercy.

In dealing with their own clan members, they were even more ruthless than against their enemies.

At that time, Bai Chengwen walked up to Han Zheng, smiled kindly, and said, "The turmoil within my Bai Family is embarrassing in front of Mr. Han.

Bai Songyuan conspired with demons, a sin unpardonable. My Bai Family has already taken the initiative to purge our ranks, so there's no need for the Demon Cleansing Bureau to take action.

Please, Mr. Han, convey a message back to Elder Xu for me: my Bai Family will absolutely not collude with the Black Mountain Demon.

Even if there are individuals acting recklessly within our ranks, I will deal with them first."

He had the appearance of a benign old man, but the bloody slaughter around him continued, making the scene extremely eerie.

Han Zheng bowed slightly, expressionless, and said, "Senior Bai, rest assured, the Demon Cleansing Bureau always focuses on deeds rather than individuals, punishing only the wicked leaders.

Now that this wicked leader has been executed by Senior Bai, we will not stay any longer."

With that, Han Zheng bowed and promptly turned to leave with his men.

Watching the retreating figures of Han Zheng and his men, the smile on Bai Chengwen's face gradually faded, leaving his face expressionless.

"Ancestor, the people of Bai Family's third branch have been cleaned up."

A middle-aged man, covered in fresh blood, came before Bai Chengwen to report.

"Did you find any evidence of collusion between the fifth and ninth branches with Bai Songyuan?"

The middle-aged man said, "The ninth branch indeed had contact with Bai Songyuan, but there was no real partnership.

The fifth branch had no contact with Bai Songyuan, and they were unaware of his actions."

"Kill them all."

The middle-aged man suddenly looked up.

But seeing Bai Chengwen's expressionless face, he dared not question even a word and quickly turned to leave.
