I Grind to Martial Saint

From a short distance away, Zhang Wanpeng watched this scene, dumbfounded.

’Could this be the legendary Vajra Finger?!’

After all, Hu Guangtian’s Divine Power was a well-known fact in Yuan Province City.

Ordinary True Qi Martial Artists stood no chance against his savage strength.

Countless people had had their skulls crushed by his Black Gold Profound Mace.

But now, a single finger had stopped Hu Guangtian’s Black Gold Profound Mace?

Hu Guangtian himself couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

He let out a furious roar and raised the Black Gold Profound Mace again.

This time, he gripped it with both hands, his entire body’s strength erupting. He strained so hard that his eyes, flooded with surging qi and blood, looked as if they were about to burst from their sockets.

”Die!”

Han Yuan couldn’t even be bothered to move much. He simply extended a single finger again.

BANG!

He effortlessly blocked the descending Black Gold Profound Mace.

”Is that all the strength you have?”

Han Yuan looked at Hu Guangtian indifferently.

”Impossible!!!”

Hu Guangtian couldn’t accept this reality.

Frustrated and enraged, he raised the Black Gold Profound Mace, wanting to smash it down on Han Yuan again.

But this time, Han Yuan had no intention of playing along with Hu Guangtian any longer.

He clenched his right hand into a fist, brought it out from his chest, and punched forward.

Celestial Spirit - Shattered Clouds!

The Great Demon Gang Essence surged forth, condensing into a profound and domineering Fist Aura. The power it contained was terrifying, as if it could make the very void collapse.

BAM!

Hu Guangtian didn’t even have time to react.

Han Yuan’s fist struck him directly in the chest.

The violent and tyrannical Fist Aura instantly tore Hu Guangtian’s body apart.

SPLATTER!!!

In an instant, the upper half of his body exploded into a mist of blood, splattering onto the face of Zhang Wanpeng, who stood behind him.

THUD.

The remaining lower half of Hu Guangtian’s body collapsed to the ground.

”Every random piece of trash thinks they can come and bother me now.”

”How boring.”

To Han Yuan, it was like squashing an ant; he felt nothing at all.

「Soon.」

Only Zhang Wanpeng was left in front of the Observatory’s gate.

He stared at Hu Guangtian’s corpse, Han Yuan’s punch replaying endlessly in his mind.

Even though that punch hadn’t been aimed at him, his heart trembled with fear, as if his own body was about to explode.

After a long while, he finally managed to break free from the terror.

He looked at the two halves of Hu Guangtian’s corpse, momentarily unsure of what to do.

Who could have imagined that the Director of the Cangshui Celestial Observation Bureau would be so terrifying!

Hu Guangtian had been arrogant his entire life, but this time, he had truly paid the price, not even leaving behind a complete corpse.

With no other choice, Zhang Wanpeng had to pay someone to collect Hu Guangtian’s remains, then scurried away from Cangshui County Town in disgrace.

As for taking Huang Huai with him, he didn’t even dare to entertain the thought anymore.

When Huang Huai learned of the matter, he also hurried to the Observatory.

”Director Han, I’ve caused you trouble this time,” Huang Huai said apologetically.

He hadn’t expected Yuan Province City to actually send people after him.

”It’s nothing.”

”With me here, it wouldn’t matter even if the Director of the Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau himself came,” Han Yuan said flatly.

Hearing this, Huang Huai relaxed and cupped his fist, saying, ”Thank you, Director Han.”

Han Yuan waved his hand, then added with a smile, ”It seems your daughter should be fine for the time being.”

”If they had been able to conquer Nanyuan County, Yuan Province City wouldn’t have thought to come find you to threaten Huang Xian’Er.”

Huang Huai sighed. ”It’s too chaotic over there right now. I don’t know the specific situation.”

”Mm, if there’s any news from that side, I’ll have Zhai Mu inform you immediately,” Han Yuan said softly.

Huang Huai thanked him again and took his leave.

Han Yuan didn’t give the day’s events a second thought. After Huang Huai left, he continued his Cultivation.

....

However, the matter was, of course, far from over.

When Zhang Wanpeng reported what had happened in Cangshui County back to the Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau, it sent shockwaves through the organization.

The Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau could never have imagined that a mere county-level Director from Jianghe Province would be so audacious as to disregard all decorum and kill one of their Demon Exterminators.

The Director of the Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau even personally sent a letter of denunciation to the Jianghe Province Celestial Observation Bureau.

Given the speed of the Flying Eagle Guards, the letter of denunciation quickly arrived on Jiang Henian’s desk.

’The Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau wants me to go looking for trouble with Han Yuan?’

After a single glance, Jiang Henian crumpled it into a ball of waste paper and threw it away.

”The Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau really thinks they’re the National Capital Celestial Observation Bureau,” Tian Nanfeng, the Supervisor of the Jianghe Celestial Observation Bureau’s Demon Extermination Tribe, sneered.

”It wouldn’t matter even if it were the National Capital Celestial Observation Bureau.”

”In our Jianghe Province, who can possibly defeat Han Yuan right now?”

”I’m afraid not even Director Zhao is Han Yuan’s match anymore,” Jiang Henian scoffed.

Tian Nanfeng nodded, then asked, ”Vice Director Jiang, how should we respond to the Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau?”

Jiang Henian thought for a moment, then said coolly, ”Advise them not to cause trouble for Han Yuan.”

”If they piss him off and he slaughters his way to their Yuan Province City, turning it upside down and creating a river of blood, our Jianghe Celestial Observation Bureau will not take any responsibility.”

Tian Nanfeng smiled. ”Then I’ll go draft the reply right away.”

He could already imagine how ugly the Yuan Province Director’s expression would be.

....

「Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau, Main Hall.」

Director Cui Mingsha stared at the letter in his hand, his expression turning extremely ugly.

”What is the meaning of this, Jianghe Celestial Observation Bureau?”

”They’re actually telling us not to provoke Han Yuan, or else we’ll have to bear the consequences?!”

”Are they completely disregarding our Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau?!”

Another man stood before Cui Mingsha.

This man had an ordinary appearance and slightly dark skin. He was Li Yuanqing, the Supervisor of the Yuan Province Celestial Observation Bureau’s Feiying Tribe.

He spoke in a low voice, ”Director Cui, we’ve gathered some information on this Han Yuan these past few days.”

”This man does indeed possess some strength...”
