The God of the Human Realm!

Chapter 131 The war breaks out
The wooden door shattered with a crash, but instead of immediately exploding outwards, it was transformed into a swirling vortex under the control of a rapid vortex, shredding it into hundreds of fragments.

Immediately following, a sharp wind howled, and hundreds of fragments pierced through the airflow, transforming into a barrage of sharp arrows that shot out from the sky.

Inside the room, the Crimson Lotus Saint Lord let out a long roar, his sleeves billowing out, unleashing a powerful surge of energy that instantly created a hurricane within the vast room, deflecting the rapidly approaching fragments.

In an instant, the eyes of the All-Illuminating Venerable became as bright as mirrors, and visible ripples emanated from his body. The flying fragments lost their force before they even touched his clothes and fell away with a rustling sound.

The Venerable Envoy of Nirvana snorted coldly, and his response was even simpler. He used his hand as a knife and slashed through the air. Wherever the energy passed, the fragments turned into dust and scattered.

The remaining dozen or so Red Lotus Sect experts also shouted, but before they could draw their weapons, they either dodged or deployed their defenses.

To become high-ranking members of the Red Lotus Sect, these dozen or so individuals were all highly skilled, either proficient in unusual arts or adept at poisons and hidden weapons. Those who specialized in internal strength had almost all reached the level of complete control over their power, and there was even one master of the Microscopic Realm.

Even so, there were still shrill and short screams, indicating that there had already been deaths and injuries.

"senior!"

Outside the house, Nan Guyun stood with his hand on the hilt of his sword, poised to strike, but his expression was one of utter astonishment.

He was led into the city by Hong Yuan, and felt as if he were riding the wind, as fast as a clear light, moving freely in and out of the city, sometimes to the east, sometimes to the west, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.

In a daze, Nan Guyun suddenly found himself inside this secluded mansion.

He had no idea how the Daoist of Ten Thousand Tribulations had managed to track down the demons and monsters of the Red Lotus Sect.

Hong Yuan shattered the wooden door with a flick of his finger, then darted into the room. He wasn't there to attack the Red Lotus Saint Lord and the two envoys, but rather he leaped up like lightning.

Five fingers, like hooks, pierced into the roof beams as if piercing through rotten soil. Immediately afterward, the house roared and trembled, accompanied by the sound of the beams breaking. The surrounding eaves pillars also collapsed, and tiles crashed down with a 'crashing' sound.

Hong Yuan gripped half of the crossbeam with one hand, swung it through the air, and in the howling wind, several people were smashed, their bones broken and blood splattered everywhere.

Hong Yuan fell like a meteorite, and in mid-air, he strangely turned around, head down and feet up, and suddenly struck out with a palm. The fierce and murderous wind spread out and enveloped the Red Lotus Saint Master and the others.

next moment.

Amidst the sounds of collapsing houses and shattering tiles, a violent collision erupted, like a hundred-foot waterfall crashing into a pool with a deafening roar.

The force surged, fists and palms clashed, and in less than a breath, there were already hundreds of impacts. The bricks and stones on the ground shattered and flew in all directions under the sweeping wind.

The walls, doors, and windows were smashed through one after another!
Smoke and dust filled the air.

Rumble!
Finally, with a deafening roar, the large house collapsed completely, causing the ground to tremble. The four figures were still engaged in a rapid battle when they darted out like lightning.

Bang!
With a slam of his palms, a scorching, magma-like energy surged within Hong Yuan's hands, clashing once again with the Red Lotus Saint Master.

Using the force of that palm strike, he flipped and flew four zhang across the sky, landing on a rooftop opposite.

Whoosh!
Three figures shot out like lightning, landing in the courtyard with a single sound, their sharp gazes meeting Hong Yuan's.

Beneath the broken and collapsed roof tiles, figures covered in dust and dirt emerged, but seven or eight of them were dead in the ruins.

The rest of them were almost all injured, their expressions filled with fear as they stared at the young man in a green robe on the rooftop a few dozen feet away.

Daoist Wan Jie!

This is the Daoist of Ten Thousand Calamities!
From the message brought back by the Venerable Envoy of Universal Illumination, the high-ranking members of the Red Lotus Sect already knew how powerful their opponent was, but this move still exceeded their expectations.

It doesn't even count as taking action against them.

They were just incidental.

The real confrontation was between the Crimson Lotus Saint Lord and the two envoys, but they had already suffered heavy casualties on the 'battlefield'.

Each of them would be considered a rare expert in the martial arts world, but when they encountered this Daoist Wan Jie, they were more vulnerable than infants.

"choke!"

The sword rang out clearly and melodiously. Nan Guyun held the sword in his hand, his face full of solemnity.

He was the leading figure among the younger generation of the Huaxi Sword Sect, and his own strength had already reached a level of subtlety, earning him a great reputation in the martial arts world.

The members of the Red Lotus Sect also paid attention to him.

But at that moment, few people paid attention to him.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, a cold wind swept by. The young man on the rooftop looked calmly down at the group below, his green robe fluttering in the wind and his hair swaying.

Standing there quietly, its powerful presence filled everyone's field of vision, making it impossible to look away.

"Your Excellency, Illumination Illumination..."

Hong Yuan's gaze fell on Envoy Bianzhao, and he smiled: "I was quite interested in your martial arts when we fought last time, but unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy it to the fullest. This time I can make up for it."

He glanced at the Venerable Envoy of Nirvana again, and finally settled his gaze on the two guarding the center.

"Are you the Crimson Lotus Saint Lord?"

A slight ripple appeared in the deep eyes of the Crimson Lotus Saint Master. Instead of answering, he asked, "Does Your Excellency have a grudge against my Crimson Lotus Sect?"

Hong Yuan gave the Red Lotus Saint Master a strange look and laughed, "Originally there was no such thing, but since I ruined your Red Lotus Sect's important affairs and killed some Dharma King, this enmity has become very big."

The Holy Lord of the Crimson Lotus said calmly, "If Your Excellency releases the goddess and Dharma King of our sect, returns the 'Eye of Nirvana,' and then converts to our Holy Sect, all past transgressions can be forgiven."

"You want to reconcile with me?" Hong Yuan remained noncommittal.

The Holy Lord of the Crimson Lotus spoke calmly: "The Crimson Lotus Sect has endured for millennia, possessing both ruthless methods and a tolerant spirit. If you convert to the sect, I can grant you the position of the next sect leader."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Red Lotus Sect all changed color.

Nan Guyun's hand holding the sword trembled, and he looked surprised. He did not expect that the Red Lotus Saint Lord would make such a promise in order to win over Wan Jie Dao Ren.

"It's not impossible, but the position of Pope will have to be waived."

Hong Yuan said, "Why don't you tell me what exactly the 'Eye of Nirvana' is and what its purpose is? Also, I'm very interested in the martial arts of the Red Lotus Sect; could I borrow it to read?"

The Crimson Lotus Saintess's eyes darkened: "Once you become the next Holy Master, you will naturally know these things."

“I’m an impatient person. If I kill you, will I immediately become the leader?” Hong Yuan chuckled.

The Crimson Lotus Saint Lord lowered his gaze, his robes fluttering like clouds. He suddenly sighed, his voice seemingly drifting from the depths of hell: "I saw that you were a promising talent and intended to give you a chance, but why do you refuse to appreciate it?"

"You're determined to seek your own death!"

As soon as the word 'death' was uttered, the Crimson Lotus Saint Lord suddenly looked up, her deep eyes transforming into blazing golden flames, burning fiercely.

Hong Yuanli saw fire snakes suddenly emerge from the void, instantly enveloping him. The flames did not burn his body, but instead drilled into the depths of his mind, penetrating every crevice.

Immediately afterwards, the Crimson Lotus Saint Lord disappeared, and the surrounding houses vanished, turning into a void and chaotic world, where a colossal god supporting the heavens and the earth suddenly appeared.

This god treads on the earth, causing flames to erupt thousands of feet high; he points to the sky, where a sea of ​​fire pours down from the heavens.

This is the raging fire of judgment, a torrent of fury, sweeping across everything. "Sinners! Kneel!"

"Surrender!"

"Repent! Atone for your sins!"

The giant roared, its voice echoing between heaven and earth.

'Whether it's the change in force or real combat, the Illusory Soul Aura can already pull people into illusions. So true martial arts also have mental techniques?'

Hong Yuan remained unmoved, regarding the sea of ​​fire and the evil god as nothing. Suddenly, he imagined a giant sword in his mind and immediately cleaved the fiery world in two.

'This method, if used by someone with a weak will, would instantly shock their mind, causing them to feel remorse and fear, and they would be directly defeated, becoming helpless victims!'

In the blink of an eye, Hong Yuan had already clenched his fist!

Crackling!

Hong Yuan's bones and muscles cracked wildly, and every muscle, every drop of blood, every meridian, and even his internal organs were generating power.

This is not the power formed from qi and blood, but the purest power of the physical body!

In the Vajra Temple, Hong Yuan seized three true martial arts techniques.

The Vajra Body of Vairocana primarily focuses on the spleen and bone marrow.

The Vajra Palm technique cultivates the heart, spleen, and the three Yang meridians of the hand.

The Sumeru Mountain Palm technique cultivates the spleen, bone marrow, and dantian.

These three true skills generate extraordinary powers, such as scorching heat, the weight of thick earth, or the sharpness of metal, but their greatest effect is the development of physical strength.

In terms of physical strength and constitution, Hong Yuan was already superhuman, but he had not yet fully unleashed this power. Otherwise, even without condensing his internal energy, his physical strength alone would have been terrifying.

Only with these three true skills can one unlock some of the potential of the physical body.

With just a clenched fist, there was an explosive sound in the air, as if the airflow was being crushed!
Fist!

A punch that came like thunder and ended like a vast ocean, was thrown out in an ordinary way.

There were no subtle variations, nor any condensation of qi and blood, only an unparalleled and fierce power.

Hong Yuan's initial punch had a force of only a few hundred jin, close to a thousand jin, but now this punch probably has the force of tens of thousands of jin.

Just as the fist was aimed at the spot, a figure rushed towards it—it was none other than the Crimson Lotus Saint Lord.

While using his eyes to perform a secret technique, this person also leaped onto the roof and unleashed a deadly attack.

At this moment, his brow twitched wildly, and he let out a long howl. A raging heat wave shot into the sky, the air steamed and twisted, and his two fleshy palms faintly glowed with flames, as if they could melt gold and forge iron and destroy everything.

This technique is called 'Red Lotus Karmic Fire True Qi'. After its power penetrates, it tempers the three major organs: the heart, kidneys, and brain.

It can nurture the fire of the heart in the heart, generate yang fire in the kidneys, and condense karmic fire and evil energy in the sea of ​​consciousness in the brain, which can shake the soul and awe the spirit.

Even for a long-standing evil cult like the Red Lotus Sect, this technique is one of the supreme mental cultivation methods.

Previously, the Crimson Lotus Saint Lord had unleashed 'Karmic Fire Qi' with his eyes, intending to destroy the Wan Jie Daoist's will to resist.

Before he could even think about why it hadn't worked for a second, the air seemed to boil at the point where fist and palm collided, and the light and flame on the Red Lotus Saint Lord's palm suddenly dissipated.

The Crimson Lotus Saintess trembled violently, feeling an immense force assail her, as if her entire arm was about to explode. She quickly used a force-dissipating technique to withdraw and prepare to retreat.

It was still too late. The fist struck his head almost without hesitation. Suddenly, patterns lit up on the Crimson Lotus Saint Lord's black robe, followed by a golden light that transformed into a golden bell that hung upside down.

when!
The fist collided with the golden bell, producing a resounding boom, like the bells tolling at dawn and dusk in a temple on a distant mountain, echoing for miles around.

The golden bell suddenly shattered into specks of golden light that dissipated.

The Holy Lord of the Crimson Lotus has taken this opportunity to retreat swiftly.

Hong Yuan didn't use any force in this attack, but he lost his footing, the roof ridge shattered inch by inch, and he fell directly into the ground below.

Immediately, a loud 'boom' resounded from inside the room, as if a bulldozer had blown open a large section of the wall. A section of the wall, taller than a person, flew into the air and was used by Hong Yuan as a weapon, slamming down towards the Red Lotus Saint Master's head.

The Crimson Lotus Saint Lord dared not take the blow head-on, and retreated again. The massive wall crashed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently and sending debris flying.

Nan Guyun felt the ground tremble and swayed, already speechless with astonishment.

Wow! That's incredible!
He had lived for nearly thirty years and had never seen such a ferocious fighting style. Even when recalling ancient books and classics, all the peerless generals and unparalleled masters in official and unofficial histories, none of them had such a fierce spirit.

This is truly the power to uproot mountains and the spirit to overwhelm the world!
"Let's do it together!"

With a sharp cry, the Venerable Envoy of Bianzhao moved swiftly, his figure flashing like a ghost, his shadow ethereal and his moves mysterious and unpredictable.

In an instant, ripples spread out, and the air seemed to turn into a mirror, reflecting the envoy as if he had dozens of clones, launching attacks from all directions.

A solemn expression appeared in the eyes of the Venerable Envoy of Nirvana. He joined forces with the Venerable Envoy of Universal Illumination and the Holy Lord of the Crimson Lotus, and the three of them attacked together.

As he made his move, the Venerable of Annihilation moved his lips and murmured something rapidly, but not a sound was uttered.

The remaining high-ranking members of the Red Lotus Sect were also about to make a move when a sword light flew out. Then, Nan Guyun arrived like a gust of wind, his voice clear and melodious.

"Fellow members of the Red Lotus Sect, I, Hua Xi Nan Gu Yun, have come to learn your skills!"

One man stepped forward from the crowd. He was in his forties, dressed in a wide robe, with a sinister expression. He was also a master of the Subtle Realm. He said coldly, "Nan Guyun, you dare to block our way. Aren't you afraid of bringing trouble to your Huaxi Sword Sect?"

"Let's get through this ordeal first before we talk about the rest." Nan Guyun's expression remained unchanged, his long sword in hand, and his entire aura changed, becoming extremely sharp and fierce.

"Fine! Then I'll grant your wish. Kill him, then go help the Master!"

The sinister-looking middle-aged man let out a sharp shout, flicked his sleeves, and spat out two cold blades from them, which suddenly intertwined into a swirling light and slashed out.

Nan Guyun thrust his sword straight forward, unleashing a series of dazzling flowers. As it collided with the swirling light, the others surged forward to surround him.

"The fight started!"

"It turns out to be here!"

The city walls of Lianhua County could not stop martial arts masters. Most people dared not act rashly because of the infamous reputation of the Red Lotus Sect, but some who considered themselves highly skilled and daring quietly sneaked into the city.

Hearing the commotion of collapsing houses, some martial artists from nearby rushed over. One by one, they landed on distant rooftops and courtyard walls, or stood on large trees to watch the battle, all of them gaping in astonishment.

The clash between the sinister middle-aged man and a group of Red Lotus Sect masters and Nan Guyun was already quite spectacular, with one unexpected move after another. The experts watching nearby could even discern some of the tricks of the trade.

However, the battle between Wan Jie Dao Ren and the four people including Hong Lian Sheng Zhu was beyond their imagination. The figures were intertwined, the flames rose, and the evil aura was boiling. Furthermore, the Bian Zhao Zun Shi was like a ghost and a demon, changing in a mysterious way, just like the ghosts and gods in legends.

Da da da!
With the sound of horses' hooves, a large number of black-armored soldiers roared in under the command of the Red Lotus Sect's high-ranking officials.
