A Stunning Spear Strike That Split the Sky!

The docks.

"Woooo—!"

The ship's horn sounded long and low. Today's last ocean liner was about to depart.

The docks were packed with people today.

Members of gangs large and small from around Jin Gate had all arrived early at the docks, waiting for the leader of the major Blood Axe Society.

Everyone knew that the Blood Axe Society's leader had made a daring gamble and latched onto some great figure. Though he had to leave for a while to avoid the storm, once he returned, he would surely rise in a single leap to become the true emperor of Jin Gate's underworld!

That was why the other gangs had more or less sent people over to see the Blood Axe Society's leader off.

Before long, the sound of orderly footsteps rang out.

A black line appeared in the distance, gradually growing larger and drawing nearer, until it became a vast mass of people dressed in black.

Protected in the middle of that group were Meng Junhao, the Blood Axe Society's leader, and his son, the Blood Axe Society's Young Society Master!

His only relative, and the only person he truly cared about!

"Dad, you hired an expert to assassinate Li Shuxing's true disciple this time. What benefits will that person give you?"

Seeing the docks ahead of them, the Young Society Master let out a slight breath of relief.

They had already made it this far, yet no Instructor from the Divine Spear Martial Hall had made a move. Clearly, they had no intention of interfering in this matter.

Father and son had won their gamble!

"Glory and wealth." The Blood Axe Society's leader smiled. "That person is formidable. He has businesses even in the Western Lands. Once we get there, we'll feast and revel, enjoying all the glory and riches we could want..."

"And there'll be enough medicinal ingredients, along with higher inheritances that only great families possess. Both of us can cultivate Dark Force and become great experts whose fists are faster than guns..."

"One day, when Li Shuxing is dead and the Divine Spear Martial Hall has been destroyed, we'll return and unite Jin Gate's underworld, becoming its kings..."

Seeing that his gamble had paid off and that he could flee overseas without incident, the Blood Axe Society's leader could not help but smile. The huge stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

"Dad, Huo Yuanhong still isn't dead. I can't shake this unease. Since we've already gone all the way, why not be even more ruthless and pull up the weeds by the roots?"

The Young Society Master suddenly spoke.

"Once we reach the Western Lands, we'll hire some Western assassins and pay them heavily to sail here and kill Huo Yuanhong! Wipe out his entire family!"

"Oh?" The Blood Axe Society Leader smiled. "Worthy of being my son. You're just like me—ruthless enough, crazy enough!"

"Just as you say. Once we reach the Western Lands, we'll find Western assassins. Even if they can't kill Huo Yuanhong, they can still leave him trembling with fear all day long, too distracted to practice martial arts..."

At that moment, a young man squeezed into the crowd of gangs gathered near the docks. In his hand was what appeared to be a club used by low-level gang enforcers.

"Hey! Hey! Come over here! Here!"

Seeing the young man weaving through the crowd with a club in hand, seemingly separated from his own gang and unable to find them, a kind-hearted gang member nearby hurriedly grabbed him.

"Stand still. Don't wander around. You're so young—you must've only just started making your way in this world, right?"

"Remember the rules from now on. When a boss is traveling, you have to stay where you are and can't move about. Otherwise, you might be mistaken for an assassin and beaten to death on the spot. No one will care whether you really are an assassin or not!"

The gang member, covered in a scruffy beard and looking rather unkempt, pulled the young man into an empty spot beside him. Like an elder guiding a junior, he lowered his voice and earnestly explained the rules of life in the underworld.

"Alright, got it."

The young man nodded, his eyes still fixed on the Blood Axe Society group drawing closer and closer.

The gang elder sighed softly at the sight.

The young man did not even look twenty yet, probably about the same age as his own son.

His family must be poor, so poor that they could no longer get by, forcing him to seek a meal in the underworld.

He did not know any of the rules, yet he dared come make a living here...

Didn't he know that he could easily get beaten to death like this...?

"Ah, from now on, you can follow me. After this is over, come find me at the Iron Fist Society. Just give them my name!"

The gang elder sighed, patted the young man on the shoulder, and quietly instructed him.

"Alright."

Seeing that the young man was still watching the Blood Axe Society, apparently wanting to witness the Blood Axe Society leader's bearing with his own eyes, the gang elder felt rather helpless. He could only change the subject, hoping to draw the young man's attention away.

"When we make a living in this world, we must always remember to be cautious. Never let hot blood rush to your head. Have you heard about that kid Six from the Chauffeur's Association?"

Kid Six was Chauffeur's Association Old Six's underworld nickname.

Younger men with some humility called him Master Six, but seniors like this gang elder naturally addressed him the same way they had when Old Six had first entered the underworld—Kid Six.

Almost no one knew what Old Six's real name was.

Nor did anyone care enough to remember it.

"A turtle like Kid Six hid his head for his whole life, but in the end, he couldn't hold himself back for one moment and got himself beaten to death..."

"Eh, wait, where are you going? Oh, I get it—you found your own gang? But if you ask me, you should stay here with us. I'll look after you!"

Seeing that the young man insisted on leaving, the gang elder could not very well stop him.

Just then, he suddenly realized that he still did not know the other man's name. So he called out, "My name is Li Dakui. What's yours? When you come to the Iron Fist Society later, remember to give them my name!"

"I'm the Little Six you keep talking about. I have a name—Chen Dalin."

The young man spoke, then suddenly gripped one end of the gang's long staff and pulled with force!

Crack!

With a faint sound, one end of the staff came off, revealing a spearhead that gleamed with icy cold light!

It was Huo Yuanhong!

"Meng Junhao!"

Seeing the group from the Blood Axe Society about to pass by, as well as the Blood Axe Society's boss who had come out and stood before the crowd, ready to say a few words, Huo Yuanhong shoved aside the startled people standing on either side and called out the Blood Axe Society boss's name!

"Outrageous!"

Someone immediately shouted in fury, but upon seeing the Great Spear in Huo Yuanhong's hand, his expression changed drastically, and he was about to cry out a warning.

But before he could call out, the Blood Axe Society boss, hearing his own name, had already reflexively turned his head this way, thinking some important figure had sent someone to look for him.

At the very instant the Blood Axe Society boss turned his head!

Huo Yuanhong raised his Great Spear, dropped into a horse stance, and stomped down fiercely!

The violent force unleashed by the Tremor Stomp blasted into his spine. As his waist and hips twisted, the force in his arms erupted!

The Great Spear flew from his hand, like a meteor tearing across the heavens, carrying an indomitable will and savage, tyrannical Internal Force as it howled toward the Blood Axe Society boss's chest, exposed just as he turned to look!

"Not good!!!"

The Blood Axe Society boss's pupils contracted sharply as he hurriedly tried to dodge.

But only a moment ago, he had still been immersed in the boundless joy of winning his gamble and escaping disaster, already fantasizing about inexhaustible glory and wealth. With the great weight in his heart lifted, the Internal Force throughout his body had unconsciously relaxed.

Now, faced with the spear Huo Yuanhong had hurled with all his strength—this breathtaking strike, swift to the utmost and fierce to the utmost—

He had no time to react at all!

He had only just made the motion to dodge when the Great Spear instantly crossed the short distance between them, its unmatched force brutally piercing straight through the chest of the Blood Axe Society boss, whose eyes were filled with utter terror!
