I Grind to Martial Saint

Bai Muxin and the Cui Family elder exchanged a look, and with a great shout, they both channeled their True Qi even more ferociously, trying to keep Han Yuan suppressed.

But Han Yuan had been waiting for this very moment. He abruptly swung the Iron Mountain Saber with both hands, slashing viciously at Bai Muxin.

In that instant.

The Great Demon Qi in his body erupted, dyeing the light of his saber pitch black and unleashing a vicious and tyrannical aura.

Bai Muxin swung his great hammer to attack, only to have it collide violently with the Iron Mountain Saber!

BOOM!!!

A great cloud of mist was blasted into the air.

A sharp crack echoed from Bai Muxin’s bones as he was sent flying back several meters by the force of the blow.

WHOOSH!

The Cui Family elder seized the opportunity. His right index finger, shrouded in a layer of golden light, silently stabbed toward the spot between Han Yuan’s eyebrows.

This technique was called Vajra Pointing Star, the killing move of the Vajra Finger.

It could tear through skin and shatter bone—its power was immense!

But Han Yuan had been expecting it. After forcing Bai Muxin back with his saber, the muscles of his left arm swelled violently, his veins writhing like dragons and snakes. His palm, wreathed in Great Demon Qi, formed a Hand Blade and chopped outward!

Giant Spirit Monument-Opening Hand!

The air howled and cracked.

It viciously chopped down on the Cui Family elder’s Vajra Finger.

Two supremely hard and masculine martial arts clashed!

BANG~!

Han Yuan felt a searing pain spread across the surface of his palm.

His skin and flesh had been pierced, revealing a bloody hole.

The Cui Family elder also let out a miserable shriek.

His finger was bent at a grotesque angle, and the shock had even shattered the bones and tendons in his wrist!

Just then.

Bai Muxin charged in, swinging his great hammer.

Han Yuan let out a wild roar, his right leg snapping up to deliver a Kuixing Kick.

CRACK!

The lower half of the Cui Family elder’s face was brutally smashed in by Han Yuan’s kick.

His mouth and nose were reduced to a pulp of mangled flesh.

He flew back more than ten meters before hitting the ground, and then he didn’t move again.

WHAM!

Han Yuan heard a vicious whistling sound from behind him.

It was already too late to dodge.

He violently tensed the muscles of his back.

WHAM~~~

The great hammer smashed heavily into his back.

Even with his Copper Skin and Iron Bones, Han Yuan let out a muffled grunt as Bai Muxin’s hammer smashed into him, and blood trickled from his mouth and nose.

But he stubbornly refused to be sent flying. Suppressing the roiling blood and qi in his chest, he spun around and slashed with his saber.

Bai Muxin had used all his strength in that last hammer blow against Han Yuan.

He hadn’t expected Han Yuan’s Horizontal Training to be so formidable. With a great roar, he once again summoned his Qi Power and swung the hammer!

CLANG CLANG CLANG~~~

The two fought wildly in the rainy night.

Heavy Saber versus great hammer!

An unstoppable force against an immovable object!

Every collision was terrifyingly powerful, erupting in a violent roar.

The more Han Yuan slashed, the more exhilarated he became, his eyes filled with a savage madness!

This pure contest of muscle made his blood boil, and the power behind each swing of his Iron Mountain Saber grew fiercer and more tyrannical!

BANG BANG BANG~

In his youth, Bai Muxin had been famous throughout Cangshui County for his astounding Divine Power.

Even though he was older and his qi and blood had declined somewhat, for a man of his stature, nourished by vast quantities of medicinal herbs, this decline was extremely slow.

Besides, as his techniques for exerting force grew more refined with age, the power he could unleash was even greater than in his youth.

But in front of Han Yuan, his so-called Divine Power was a joke.

His opponent felt like a ferocious, terrifying beast with monstrous Qi Power!

The continuous heavy blows had caused Bai Muxin’s skin to seep blood, and the webbing between his thumbs and forefingers had split open.

Even his eyes were bulging from the strain.

If he kept fighting like this, he would surely be hacked to death by Han Yuan.

At once.

Bai Muxin channeled all his strength. With a savage expression, he gripped his great hammer tightly with both hands and brought it smashing down with ferocious power!

The great hammer, like a falling meteor, suddenly accelerated, becoming a massive afterimage as it swept toward Han Yuan’s midsection.

It was a terrifyingly powerful blow, as if it could destroy anything in its path!

Han Yuan threw his head back and laughed, gathering all of his Qi Power. There was no technique, only a pure burst of strength mixed with Great Demon Qi as he brought his saber chopping straight down!

The two Weapons crashed together with brutal ferocity!

KABOOM!!!

The Iron Mountain Saber and the great hammer actually exploded at the same time!

BANG~

Amidst a shower of metal fragments, a Hand Blade wreathed in black qi tore through the shrapnel, chopping down toward Bai Muxin.

WHAM~

Bai Muxin turned his fist into a hammer and threw a punch!

CRACK!

Han Yuan had Copper Skin and Iron Bones.

Bai Muxin’s bones, however, were not nearly as hard.

With a loud SNAP!

The instant his entire arm fell limp.

Han Yuan charged forward, using his momentum to slam an Iron Mountain Lean into Bai Muxin.

CRUNCH~

His opponent’s ribs were brutally shattered. Before he could even be sent flying, Han Yuan grabbed his arm and slammed him violently into the ground!

An irregular crater was smashed into the ground.

Bai Muxin lay on the ground, coughing up blood uncontrollably.

Just as Han Yuan was about to finish him off.

A sudden, inexplicable feeling of heart-pounding danger washed over him.

With a furious roar, he violently jabbed his right elbow backward.

From the darkness, a withered palm was striking right at Han Yuan.

Elbow and palm collided violently.

The seemingly fragile, withered palm, however, erupted with astonishing power.

THWACK~

The two figures separated.

”Our Wangling Sect’s grand plan was almost ruined by you.”

The withered elder stared at Han Yuan, his expression sinister.

According to tonight’s plan, he wasn’t supposed to reveal himself.

Now was not the time to be exposed.

Because if any trace of them was discovered, the Jianghe Province Government Office would react, which would be extremely detrimental to their plan to take Cangshui County.

But the withered elder had been uneasy and had been watching from the shadows the entire time.

He never thought Han Yuan would be such a capable fighter... even Bai Muxin was no match for him.

No matter how much he didn’t want to intervene, the withered elder had no choice but to act.

”The Wangling Sect...”

”So it’s been you people pulling the strings all along.”

”I knew it couldn’t be such a coincidence...”

Han Yuan looked at the withered elder, and everything became clear.

The great defeat of the County Soldiers at Sheep Head Mountain, what happened to Nie Jing—it was all, he feared, secretly orchestrated by the Wangling Sect.

The Bai Family and the Cui Family must have thrown in their lot with the Wangling Sect long ago.

”Understanding is useless.”

The withered elder shook his head slightly.

”When I beat you to death in a moment, I hope you can remain this calm,” Han Yuan smiled faintly.

Right now, after several brutal fights, though he was covered in serious injuries, his spirit had reached an unprecedented, fever-pitched state of extreme excitement.

”Arrogant!”

The withered elder shot forward like a black shadow, streaking toward Han Yuan.

He was too fast!

Han Yuan’s naked eyes couldn’t even follow him; only that pure sense of heart-pounding danger made him throw up an arm to block!

THWAP!

A withered palm slammed viciously into his upper arm.

Han Yuan stumbled back several steps, a look of shock in his eyes.

In the next instant.

The feeling of heart-pounding danger appeared again, this time from his left.

THWAP THWAP THWAP~~

Han Yuan was being frantically assaulted by a black shadow.

His opponent was too fast—so fast that Han Yuan could only defend passively.

The withered elder’s Palm Technique seemed to contain a strange kind of Power that, with every strike, bypassed his Copper Skin and Iron Bones to seep directly into his internal organs.

”What’s wrong?”

”Can’t even fight back?”

”And after all that big talk, I thought you were supposed to be strong!”

The withered elder even had the leisure to taunt Han Yuan as he attacked.

’Damn it!’

Han Yuan couldn’t take it anymore and threw a wide, sweeping punch.

He was trying to maximize his reach, hoping to land a blow on the withered elder.

WHOOSH~

His arm swept through empty air, hitting nothing.

THWACK!

A withered black palm slammed violently into Han Yuan’s back.
