The God of the Human Realm!

Chapter 80 Invulnerable to Swords and Spears, Unmatched by a Thousand Armies
Mingguang Villa is located in Jinmingfang in the south of the city. It covers a vast area and is surrounded by thick walls more than two zhang high on all four sides, allowing soldiers to pass through.

Just two miles east of the villa lies the bustling Tianjie Market.

In the past, the imperial court set up military camps here to guard against rebellion. If there were any unusual changes in the city, the officers and soldiers would know immediately and quickly mobilize to protect government offices, granaries, main streets and transportation hubs.

However, as the central government of the Great Yin Dynasty lost power and simply abandoned itself, the imperial army fell into the hands of local powerful clans, and this military camp was gradually abandoned. It even fell into the hands of the Hua family and was transformed into a villa.

The most absurd thing is that if they hadn't run into Hong Yuan, that wicked star, the Hua Shouren people wouldn't have known that their clan had such a large business.

call out! Snapped!
A whistling arrow shot into the air and exploded over the bustling city center.

This sound was a signal, followed by several sharp whistles that pierced the sky, like footprints rapidly spreading towards the Mingguang Courtyard.

"What's going on?" On the long street, the bustling crowd looked up in surprise.

As exclamations rang out, many people turned to look at one end of the long street, where a fine horse slowly approached. The rider on horseback was dressed in a white, sleek outfit and possessed an extraordinary bearing.

Some people rubbed their eyes, as if they thought they were seeing things, but most people hurriedly made way for one another.

Inside the Mingguang Villa, in one of the inner halls, as the sound of a whistle-receiving arrow reached his ears, Hua Shouren trembled: "They're here!"

Guo Wei, who was sitting opposite him, was already fully armored, his face grim, and he sneered, "So you really don't take either of our families seriously!"

They planted informants in the city on a whim, without really expecting much.

With the martial arts skills that person displayed, how could these spies possibly detect him, unless he swaggered around like a thug...

Hua Shouren took a breath, and as the head of the clan, he had cultivated composure: "Then let's fight him!"

He clapped his hands, and two strong servants rushed in and quickly dressed him in a suit of gleaming silver armor.

Guo Wei strode forward, stepping out of the hall first. He had already called to the two families' disciples and shouted sternly, "Prepare for battle!"

Amidst a resounding response, members of the Guo and Hua families donned their fine armor, drew their swords and spears, and led their soldiers up the wall.

In a short while, the walls were filled with a forest of swords and a chilling array of arrows. This long-abandoned military camp came back to life, not to suppress a rebellion in the city, but simply to defend against one person.

Hong Yuan rode his horse into Jinmingfang. He could feel many secretive eyes watching him, but he didn't care. He looked ahead and gradually saw the huge manor.

Its size may not be comparable to the fortified villages of the Grand Canal, but its defenses are far more formidable.

A moat several meters wide was dug on three sides, and water was diverted into it to form a protective river. There were high watchtowers on all four sides of the wall, where scouts could see all the surrounding activities.

Moreover, there were no other buildings around this villa, and even the trees and weeds that were originally there had been urgently cleared away in the past few days...

Even at night, a campfire lit on all four sides can illuminate the area, making it possible to sneak in without alerting the sentries, though it would require a great deal of effort and mental energy.

Of course, with Hong Yuan's martial arts skills, he didn't need to go inside to break into this courtyard. He could simply build a high platform outside and look down on the soldiers inside with arrows every day.

Even more ruthless, they could launch a barrage of rockets directly into the camp. This barracks had only been reopened a few days ago, and its fire prevention measures were extremely inadequate. It was likely that a fire would break out within a day.

Before the Battle of Shuanglong Gorge, Hong Yuan would definitely have done this, but now he wants to try breaking through the formation and killing the army.

Whether it was at Lanyue Garden or the battle at Shuanglong Gorge, Hong Yuan had never actually fought against the military formation before; this was his first time.

Opposite them were two thousand soldiers from the two powerful families of Linjiang Prefecture, the Guo and Hua families. They were fully equipped with bows and crossbows, and also had several hundred armored soldiers and well-trained swordsmen.

Alone, with only one horse and one gun!
Hong Yuan pinched the bridge of his nose, his mind instantly becoming empty, and an unparalleled sense of clarity and tranquility welled up within him.

The advantage is mine!

Inside Jinmingfang, the streets were deserted.

Almost all the residents stayed at home, peeking out through the cracks in the doors and windows. Many people had even sensed the impending storm when the two families moved into Mingguang Villa a few days ago and had already taken refuge there.

The spying wasn't just from ordinary residents; there were also spies from various factions, all lurking in the shadows, their eyes gleaming or their voices whispering.

Under the watchful eyes of so many people, Hong Yuan spurred his horse on, and the horse let out a long neigh, reared up, and galloped towards the wall in front of it.

Inside a pavilion, with the window half-open, seven or eight people of varying appearances, all dressed in black, stared in disbelief: "He wouldn't be planning to charge into the enemy lines alone, would he? Is he insane?"

No one answered his question.

Everyone's eyes were focused, fixed on that figure.

On the wall, Guo Wei was both surprised and delighted. He was surprised that the other side dared to rush straight to the main gate, completely disregarding their two thousand elite troops. He was also delighted by the other side's arrogance. A murderous aura rose on his face, and he gave a shout.

"Archers and crossbowmen, all of you, come over here! Divide into three teams and get ready!" With Guo Wei's order, archers and crossbowmen sprang to life on the other three walls, rushing to the front gate wall.

Compared to the other three walls, the main gate wall was significantly wider. There were about a hundred archers and crossbowmen, divided into three teams on the left and right, ready to attack.

Centered around archers and crossbowmen, two sides were densely packed with swords and spears.

Rumble!
The sound of horses' hooves rang out, and the power of one man seemed to surpass that of a thousand troops. Hong Yuan grabbed the cloth and flung it around. With a 'clang', the shredded cloth fluttered like butterflies as he passed through it, and the deadly throat-locking gun was in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, they were within twenty feet. Guo Wei held his breath, his body trembling slightly. He suppressed this panic and roared, "First team, fire arrows! Shoot him dead!"

Whoosh whoosh!
As soon as the voice fell, the crossbow bolts and arrows instantly transformed into a dense black cloud, raining down on Hong Yuan.

Hong Yuan moved his spear, and silver light flowed out like a bolt of lightning, sweeping outwards and forming a swift whirlwind in front of him. The crisp clanging sounds continued, and all the crossbow bolts that were shot were pulverized.

As the distance closed again, a second squad of crossbowmen and archers quickly filled in on the wall, unleashing a hail of arrows that rained down like locusts.

With closer distance comes greater accuracy, but this time Hong Yuan simply shattered the arrows aimed at the horse, letting more than ten arrows fall on his body.

The crisp sounds, like striking metal, rang out one after another.

Hong Yuan seemed oblivious, only slightly moving away when an arrow was shot at his eye.

This is the source of his confidence to storm Mingguang Villa alone.

After killing two grandmasters, Lei Meng and Han Dingtian, in the battle of Shuanglong Gorge and subduing the Cao Gang, Hong Yuan's physical strength increased again. He tested his physique in the martial arts arena and was surprised to find that ordinary people's swords and knives could hardly break through his defenses.

Invulnerable!
Of course, if a martial artist who has reached the level of mastery unleashes his true strength, he can still pose a threat when wielding a weapon. But how many ordinary soldiers can reach the level of mastery?
One in a thousand is already quite good!
"What?" Guo Wei's pupils suddenly contracted, thinking he was seeing things.

If the arrows had simply bounced off the person, it could be explained by the person wearing inner armor. But he clearly saw an arrow land straight in the person's face.

Before he could think any further, Hong Yuan was already within ten zhang of the city wall. He slammed his hand on the horse's back, leaped up, and in a flash, he was enveloped in a silver light, soaring onto the top of the wall without the slightest hesitation.

The soldiers on the wall had prepared boiling oil, molten gold, and lime jars, but they didn't use a single one.

The opponent is too fast!
All that could be seen was the spear sweeping across, instantly unleashing a series of bone-crushing sounds, accompanied by piercing screams and splattering blood!

The archers, who should have been the greatest threat to martial arts masters, were hit by a single shot after only two volleys, and instantly flew off one by one.

With Hong Yuan's strength, wielding this heavy spear weighing dozens of kilograms, even metal would be shattered in his path; no armor would be of any use.

He transformed instantly, without even using any special moves, charging forward. His powerful body became the most ferocious weapon, directly smashing away the soldiers blocking his way.

Guo Wei's eyes widened, his face filled with utter terror. He tried to back away, but his pounding heart made his legs feel like lead, rendering him unable to move.

He gritted his teeth and finally unleashed his last bit of strength, swinging his sword straight down.

Guo Wei was also a martial artist who had reached the level of internal strength. In that instant, he unleashed all his strength, as if all his blood and energy had been drained by this one strike. A chilling aura rose up as he slashed down at the oncoming figure!
next moment!
A slender, fair hand reached out and simply grabbed, its five fingers snapping shut, instantly dissipating the menacing blade and its chilling glint.

Hong Yuan did not use the deadly throat-locking gun. Instead, he grabbed the knife between his fingers with his left hand, forming a claw.

Guo Wei roared, gripping the knife with both hands, struggling desperately to pull the blade away and slash horizontally, but the long knife remained motionless in his fair hand.

"Who are you?" Hong Yuan asked Guo Wei, puzzled.

Although the Guo and Hua families considered him a thorn in their side and offered a reward of 100,000 taels of silver, Hong Yuan had never actually met the leaders of these two families.

Judging from his appearance and clothing, he must be an important person.

"It doesn't matter anymore!"

With a slight exertion of his fingers, the blade snapped. Hong Yuan threw the blade, and the broken blade sliced ​​through the air, piercing Guo Wei's throat with a 'thud'.

Guo Wei's eyes widened suddenly, and only one thought flashed through his mind: "What kind of monsters have the Hua family and my Guo family provoked?!"

At the same time, in his last glimpse, he saw two young soldiers let out a shrill roar and rush forward without regard for their own safety. The two spears moved simultaneously and thrust towards Hong Yuan's back.

These two were the young talents whom Guo Jia'an had infiltrated into the Linjiang Prefecture army. Upon seeing Guo Wei's death, they were filled with rage and, disregarding their fear, attacked him from behind.

when! when!
The tips of the two fine iron spears pierced Hong Yuan's back in an instant, tearing two holes in his clothes. Guo Wei's wide eyes dimmed.

Hong Yuan slowly turned around, looked at the two young officers who were visibly shocked, and asked calmly, "Why did you stab me?"
