The God of the Human Realm!

Chapter 74 One Man Subdues the Canal Gang
Inside Shuanglong Gorge, the cold wind was like a blade.

The silver spear that had been sent flying into the sky finally fell back down. Hong Yuan flicked his foot, and a pebble shot out like a spark.

With a 'clang', it struck the gun barrel, and the Deadly Throat Lock Gun, struck by this blow, spun around in mid-air and flew into Hong Yuan's palm.

At the same time, Han Dingtian retreated rapidly, each step causing the bluestone slabs beneath his feet to crack and leave deep footprints.

Until the chest exploded with a series of "plop plop plop" sounds, splattering blood, the "gun king's" face was completely bloodless, as pale as paper.

He let out a wild roar, still gripping the spear tightly in his hand, and slammed it into the ground.

Within a radius of several feet, the bluestone-paved ground trembled violently, and large pebbles flew everywhere. Han Dingtian stood still, using his spear as a support, his body straight as a javelin, his eyes fixed on Hong Yuan.

There was no breath left.

Hong Yuan's strike possessed both the unpredictable and elusive nature of "Flowing Clouds Without Fixed Force" and the sharp and fierce power of "Tiger Fiend Mountain-Splitting Force." The combination of these two forces left Han Dingtian no time to defend himself; he was struck in the chest, the force penetrating deep into his lungs.

On the outside, it appears unharmed, but its internal organs have been shattered by the fierce and domineering force!

No matter how famous this top marksman of Mingzhou was in life, he was worthless after death. Hong Yuan didn't bother to give him a second glance and only looked at the person at his feet.

"What kind of trick did you just use?"

Lei Meng's sudden attack with the "Surging Wave Hand" seemed dangerous, but it was actually already reflected in Hong Yuan's mind.

They even noticed from the beginning that Lei Meng was hiding under the reef.

Coincidentally, its hiding place was the same location that Hong Yuan had explored.

The so-called sneak attack is a joke.

What surprised Hong Yuan the most was that Lei Meng's attack caused his internal energy to surge uncontrollably.

Although the effect was very minor, and Hong Yuan's qi and blood could recover quickly, it was enough to pique his curiosity.

Lei Meng was not going to listen to him.

He was like the supreme ruler of the Grand Canal Gang, holding the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people in his hands.

At this moment, someone stepped on his head and pressed him into the mud and sand. He felt a ball of anger burning in his chest. He was extremely humiliated and roared, struggling desperately.

He mustered his strength, his back swayed, like a great dragon about to break free of its cage.

Bang!
Hong Yuan exerted his strength again, and fine, silky energy spread out from his feet, spreading out from Lei Meng's head like a spider web.

After mastering the microscopic technique, one is no longer afraid of using too much force, lest one accidentally shatter one's boots.

Lei Meng suddenly felt as if he were being pricked by needles all over his body. Hundreds of fine needles pierced into the most turbulent part of his body where his blood and qi flowed. In an instant, his blood and qi surged and flowed back.

The force of the backlash caused him to groan and faint instantly.

Hong Yuan raised his hand again, and with a flash of cold light, the tip of his spear struck repeatedly, and the sound of bones shattering rang out, breaking the bones of Lei Meng's elbows and knees.

He didn't stop there. The silver spear fell and pierced through Lei Meng's right collarbone. The spear shaft was nearly halfway into the ground, pinning Lei Meng to the ground.

"I'll deal with the canal gangs first, then I'll interrogate you. Don't you dare die!"

Hong Yuan could already hear the thunderous footsteps, rapid and loud, as a large number of people swarmed onto the city wall.

These people were dressed in various styles, and the vast majority of them were from the canal gangs, but there were also a hundred or so soldiers in leather armor running ahead, with bows drawn and arrows nocked.

A young general in silver armor leaped out, scaled the city wall, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Fire arrows! Fire arrows! Shoot him dead!"

Hong Yuan's gaze was like a sword; one could even see his face contorted with rage from his roar.

Of course, the most noticeable feature is the missing ear.

Guo Ju trembled with fear and screamed repeatedly.

Even though this was the headquarters of the Canal Gang, with hundreds or even thousands of people, including many skilled martial artists, and two or three hundred elite warriors by his side, he felt no sense of security whatsoever, his heart filled with icy coldness.

Those were two masters of the Microscopic Realm, top experts in the martial arts world!
How could we have lost like this?

Why is Hong Yuan so strong? What makes him so strong?

He's already so powerful, why does he insist on making things difficult for the Guo family? The Guo family is usually charitable and kind to others, so what did they do to offend this person and provoke such a powerful enemy?

Guo Ju's mind was in turmoil, with countless emotions surging within him. He even came to hate Han Dingtian. What a load of rubbish! The so-called number one spear in Mingzhou was nothing but empty boasting. It was all for naught that the Guo and Hua families had offered so many benefits in order to get Han Dingtian to take action.

Although those benefits no longer need to be given.

And then there's Lei Meng, what a load of rubbish 'Surging Wave Hand', he's a complete coward. Han Dingtian at least managed to exchange blows with that guy for a few breaths, but Lei Meng was knocked down in a single move!
As Guo Ju's fierce roar echoed through the canyon, Hong Yuan suddenly lunged forward, grabbing the spear from Han Dingtian's hand with one hand.

With a flash, he passed by Han Dingtian's upright figure.

As the latter lost its support and fell straight down, Hong Yuan unleashed his spiraling energy and threw it with a flick of his wrist.

Whoosh!
The spear pierced through the air with a sharp, piercing whistling sound, and in the blink of an eye, it soared through the air for dozens of feet, but it was not heading towards Guo Ju on the city wall.

The spear, like a sharp arrow, shot straight towards the city gate, right where Han Dingtian had initially stood. The iron spearhead struck the hard wall, but instead of plunging into it, it spun rapidly under the influence of a strange force, violently rubbing against the wall and exploding into a shower of sparks. The area previously covered in shadow was instantly illuminated by the white light.

There were two carts under the city gate, both covered with weeds. Sparks fell and quickly ignited into flames. Or perhaps the weeds were doused with kerosene. A gust of cold wind caused them to burst into flames!
next moment!
A series of thunderous booms resounded, flames soared at the city gate, turning it a fiery red, followed by countless fragments, iron sand, and metal shards shooting out in all directions.

The entire fortified village of the Grand Canal trembled at the earth-shattering roar, and a commotion broke out on the city walls, with shouts and cries of alarm coming from all directions.

The roar made the hearts of the spectators on both sides of the canyon pound. Many people were so frightened that they retreated, but then others pushed forward from behind, and in an instant, many more people fell off the cliff like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Many martial arts practitioners showed expressions of horror as they looked down at the platform and saw Han Dingtian fall to the ground and another person's arm pierced by a spear!

"Is 'Gun King' Han Dingtian dead?"

Almost everyone found it hard to believe. Even though Hong Yuan had achieved amazing results in recent days, Han Dingtian had been famous for decades and was known as the "Number One Spear in Mingzhou". He was a true big shot in the martial arts world.

When Han Dingtian suddenly appeared, everyone thought it would be a fierce battle, but they didn't expect that just a moment ago the Gun King was so imposing that he forced Hong Yuan to retreat repeatedly and drop his spear.

At this critical moment, a master joined forces with Han Dingtian to attack from both sides. It was thought that Hong Yuan was doomed, but unexpectedly, the situation changed drastically in an instant. The Gun King died, and the attacker inexplicably fell to the ground.

The force was formless and intangible, and the condensed needle force that Hong Yuan unleashed was even more imperceptible. These people were watching the battle from above the canyon, and the distance was not short. Not to mention ordinary people, even martial artists who had reached the level of entering the realm of force could not see the mystery within.

All that could be seen was a small burst of blood on the attacker's face, and the next moment he screamed and fell to the ground.

"Who was the attacker?" someone asked in surprise.

The fight between Han Dingtian and Hong Yuan was so fast that it was impossible for ordinary people to intervene. Therefore, even though there were many skilled members of the Canal Gang, they did not dare to make any rash moves.

The person lurking in the rapids, qualified to cooperate with Han Dingtian, was clearly a master as well.

"It's 'Surging Wave Hand' Lei Meng!" A knowledgeable martial artist sighed. "Lei Meng hasn't shown his face for ten years. Many people guessed he was dead, but now it seems... sigh! It would have been better if he were dead!"

As the explosion rang out, Hong Yuan also sprang up at the same time, transforming into a blur as he rushed out and leaped onto the city wall.

Many people on the city wall were still swaying and unsteady when a gust of wind swept through, and with a gentle gust, seven or eight people were sent flying in all directions.

Guo Ju steadied himself, knife in hand, eyes bloodshot, and roared, "Come on!"

"Where are you looking?" A calm voice rang in his ear, and Guo Ju's body trembled violently. A finger had already swept over and suddenly flicked his forehead.

when!
The force of the finger collided with Guo Ju's helmet, and a sharp and subtle force burst forth, instantly penetrating his brain. Guo Ju's vision went white, and he could see nothing.

"Isn't it good to be alive? Why come here to die!"

Hong Yuan recognized the man as the Guo family member whose ear he had cut off in the prefectural city that day. After dealing with the canal gang, he would make another trip to the prefectural city.

But large families like the Guo family and the Hua family, with hundreds or even thousands of members in the main branches and branches, would only target key figures if he went to kill them. As long as people like Guo Ju didn't show up in front of him, Hong Yuan wouldn't bother with them.

As for those who slipped through the net...

So what if they leak? Are we afraid of their triumphant return?

Hong Yuan snatched the knife from Guo Ju's hand and slashed backhand. With a whooshing sound, three more heads flew into the air.

The next moment, the blade flashed and transformed into a rapidly spinning meat grinder, and screams of agony filled the city walls as blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The clang of metal clashing exploded one after another. In just a few breaths, dozens more people were either injured or killed. Hong Yuan's long sword was also broken. He waved his hand and threw it. The broken blade flew out of the air and pierced a person's throat.

call!
With a leap, he reached the top of the city wall and shouted, "Han Dingtian is dead, and Lei Meng is in my hands. People of the Canal Gang, will you surrender or not?"

The remaining members of the canal gang on the city wall, as well as the soldiers of Linjiang Prefecture brought by Guo Ju, were terrified by the killing and retreated in panic, crying out for their parents.

Those who had originally intended to rush forward to help also dropped their weapons at this moment, their faces filled with fear and confusion, especially when they heard Lei Meng's name, their hearts trembled.

Amidst the wailing, several people stepped forward, all dressed in brocade robes. They didn't look like martial arts practitioners, but rather like wealthy landowners. The group was trembling with fear, but the leader, though pale-faced, managed to remain calm: "Young Master Hong, you have already won. My Cao Gang concedes defeat. Name your conditions."

Hong Yuan glanced at him: "Who are you?"

"I am the second-in-command of the shipping guild, my name is He..."

The man clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, trying his best to remain calm.

Whoosh!
With a flash, Hong Yuan was right next to him. He reached out and grabbed his head. Powerful energy surged from his five fingers, and the 'Tiger Fiend Mountain-Splitting Force' flowed out, twisting around his neck.

With a 'sizzle', a stream of blood burst forth. Hong Yuan already held his head in his hand. As the headless corpse crashed to the ground, his voice drifted out: "I asked you if you wanted to live or die. You want to negotiate with me?"

This scene horrified the surrounding members of the Canal Gang, making their legs go weak. Hong Yuan glanced at the remaining few people who seemed to be in charge and saw that they were still hesitating. He waved his hand, and the head in his hand flew through the air, hitting one of the people's faces. The sound of bones cracking rang out.

"We surrender! Spare our lives!"

The remaining men dared not hesitate any longer. Their knees buckled, and they knelt down, their heads hitting the ground heavily. Seeing that even the 'leader' had knelt, the surrounding gang members also bowed down.

The wind howled through Shuanglong Gorge, echoing the sound of 'surrender,' and hundreds of eyes on both sides of the gorge watched this scene in shock.

He single-handedly suppressed two martial arts masters, Han Dingtian and Lei Meng, and forced a powerful force like the Cao Gang to surrender. As they looked at the tall, slender figure in white standing on the city wall, they seemed to witness the birth of a legend.
