I Grind to Martial Saint

Liang Tian grinned viciously. He pushed off his feet, rushing toward Han Yuan, and brought his Silver Dragon Mace crashing down with brutal force!

The mace itself was a heavy weapon, and its techniques were mostly swings, smashes, and chops designed to maximize its devastating power.

Moreover, as the Silver Dragon Mace descended, the faint sound of a dragon’s roar echoed through the air, capable of unnerving an enemy’s Heart Spirit.

But Han Yuan just grinned, gripping his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber with both hands and unleashing an explosive slash!

SKREEE~~

The shriek of a ferocious bird suddenly resounded through the air!

Thousand Falcons Blade Technique!

This Third-Class Blade Technique was the first Martial Art Han Yuan had cultivated since he’d crossed over.

Now, wielded by him once more, its power was completely different.

The phantom of a vicious black bird faintly materialized behind him.

Its ferocity blotted out the sky!

BANG! BANG! BANG!~~

The two men swung their respective Weapons, locked in a deadly struggle.

Their Weapons were both heavy, and every earth-shattering collision made the very ground tremble.

RUMBLE!!!

After dozens of exchanges, even the memorial arch of the Observatory couldn’t withstand the force and collapsed with a deafening crash.

”Silver Dragon Break!”

Liang Tian let out a long cry as his Silver Dragon Mace suddenly accelerated, transforming into a wide swath of silver light that smashed toward Han Yuan.

Han Yuan swung his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber with both hands in an upward arc, unleashing a deep, pitch-black saber glint.

SKREEE!

It was as if a ferocious black bird had spread its wings and soared into the sky!

CLANG!

The Silver Dragon Mace was instantly sent flying by Han Yuan’s saber.

At the same time, Han Yuan swiftly raised his right leg, sweeping it toward Liang Tian’s shin.

Liang Tian seemed to anticipate Han Yuan’s move and lifted his own right leg to kick out!

BAM!~~

Liang Tian cried out in pain as Han Yuan’s kick sent him flying over a dozen meters away.

”Your strength... is still a bit lacking!”

Han Yuan said, standing his ground and shaking his head in disdain.

Liang Tian could only feel waves of pain radiating from his shin.

His gaze turned sinister and crazed. ”It’s been a long time... a very long time since I’ve tasted the sting of injury!”

”Then let me give you another taste!”

Han Yuan grinned as his figure flashed, unleashing a deep saber glint filled with the aura of death!

Azure Heaven·Withered!

This slash was suffused with a terrifying aura that could make all things wither.

Even Liang Tian felt a chill of horror in his heart. He roared, raised the Silver Dragon Mace high with both hands, and smashed it down!

KABOOM!!!

The Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber slashed a massive gash across Liang Tian’s chest, sending him flying over a dozen meters away.

”Your Hard Skill isn’t bad. I thought one slash would be enough to cut you in two.”

Han Yuan said, a little surprised.

He carried his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber and walked toward Liang Tian, one step at a time.

Watching from a distance, Yu Cuicui and Shang Yuan were shocked witless.

”How is this possible! Eldest Martial Brother was actually sent flying by this guy!”

The sight made Yu Cuicui’s scalp tingle.

She knew perfectly well how terrifying Liang Tian was.

But before Han Yuan, he seemed to be no match at all.

”Don’t panic... don’t panic. Eldest Martial Brother is just temporarily at a disadvantage.”

”There’s no way he can lose!”

Shang Yuan said hurriedly.

”You were hiding your true strength this whole time!!!”

Liang Tian staggered to his feet, a sorry sight to behold. He glared at Han Yuan and let out a low growl.

”I wouldn’t say I was hiding my strength.”

”I just wanted to see how strong you were.”

”But the result was a bit disappointing. The moment I got a little serious, you went down.”

Han Yuan shook his head and sighed.

The Thousand Falcons Blade Technique was, after all, only a Third-Class Blade Technique. Its power naturally couldn’t compare to the Azure Heaven Annihilation Saber.

”I, Liang Tian, have never lost.”

”And I won’t lose today either!”

”Spirit Sun Blood Burning!”

Liang Tian quickly struck several major acupoints on his chest.

WHAM!

His muscles suddenly swelled, his body growing to an exaggerated size. Even his Gang Essence seemed to ignite into a burning state.

Clearly, he had used some kind of Secret Technique to enhance his own strength.

”Kill!”

Liang Tian roared, raised his Silver Dragon Mace, and charged at Han Yuan.

The Silver Dragon Mace in his hand radiated an intense silver light, as if it had transformed into a silver dragon lunging forward ferociously.

Han Yuan grinned. ”Is that supposed to help?”

BOOM!!!

The next moment, the Great Demon Gang Essence coiling around his body exploded outward. His physique suddenly expanded, and seeing the Silver Dragon Mace smashing toward him, he simply reached out with his left hand!

THWACK~!

Han Yuan caught it with his bare hand!!

”Impossible!!!”

Liang Tian’s eyes looked as if they were about to pop out of his head.

He had never imagined that even after activating his Gang Essence-burning Secret Technique, his opponent would catch his weapon with a bare hand!

Han Yuan smiled faintly, and with a sudden exertion of force from his left hand, he snatched the Silver Dragon Mace from Liang Tian’s grasp and swung it at him!

Liang Tian didn’t dare try to catch a weapon with his bare hands like Han Yuan.

Even if Han Yuan didn’t know any mace techniques, he could still perform simple swings and smashes.

And thanks to his strength and explosive power,

the power of the Silver Dragon Mace was terrifying, as if it could shatter mountains.

Liang Tian dodged backward.

BOOM!!!

Han Yuan’s strike missed, and the entire ground shook violently.

Liang Tian’s eyes were filled with terror.

For the first time in his life, the emotion of fear surfaced in his heart.

’This enemy is too terrifying!’

Liang Tian discovered that he no longer had the courage to fight him again!

The next moment, Han Yuan’s massive frame attacked again. He swung the Silver Dragon Mace with his left hand, unleashing a wide arc of silver light.

This time, Han Yuan anticipated Liang Tian’s dodge and the Silver Dragon Mace viciously slammed into his waist!

CRACK!!!

Liang Tian was brutally smashed into the ground.

”Eldest Martial Brother!”

”No!!!”

Seeing this, Yu Cuicui and Shang Yuan were about to intervene and stop Han Yuan.

But Situ Ya, Li Jin, and the others would naturally not allow it. With a flash, they blocked their path.

”If I die... you’re coming with me...”

”Cough, cough, cough... even if you’re strong, do you think you can defeat an Innate Grandmaster...”

Liang Tian looked at the slowly approaching Han Yuan, feeling no fear in his heart. Even as he coughed up mouthfuls of blood, his attitude remained unyielding.

”An Innate Grandmaster... are they very strong?”

Han Yuan asked with a smile.

”What do you think?”

Liang Tian laughed maniacally.

”I think... they’re just so-so.”

Han Yuan chuckled.

”You...” Liang Tian’s expression changed slightly, as if he had realized something.

SMASH!

The next moment, Han Yuan swung the Silver Dragon Mace and crushed his head.

After that, he looked toward Yu Cuicui and Shang Yuan and said coldly, ”Surrender now, or this will be your fate!”

Yu Cuicui and Shang Yuan, who were fighting with Situ Ya and Li Jin, saw Liang Tian’s head get smashed and their Heart Spirits trembled in terror.

They naturally didn’t dare to stay any longer, but they didn’t want to surrender either, so they prepared to flee.

However, Situ Ya and Li Jin were already prepared. They simply kept the two busy for a moment before Han Yuan rushed over and knocked them both unconscious.

”Take them back into custody!”

Han Yuan ordered coldly.

Demon Exterminators immediately came forward and escorted Yu Cuicui and Shang Yuan back into the Observatory.

He then put Zhai Mu in charge of the cleanup and walked back into the Observatory himself.

He wanted to take advantage of Yu Cuicui and Shang Yuan’s panicked state to extract some information.

「Soon.」

Han Yuan returned to his grand hall.

Yu Cuicui and Shang Yuan were still unconscious.

Han Yuan had someone splash a basin of ice water on them, and they finally woke up.

But when they saw Han Yuan, their faces turned pale with fright, and they didn’t dare say a word.

”Just now, Liang Tian threatened me, thinking I wouldn’t dare to kill him.”

”But I killed him anyway.”

”So don’t think for a second that I won’t dare to kill you.”

Han Yuan said with a smile.

”You... what do you want to know?”

Unable to bear the pressure from Han Yuan, Yu Cuicui spoke up hastily.

The main reason was that the shock of seeing Han Yuan smash Liang Tian’s head was simply too great.

”It’s simple. Tell me why your Spirit Sun Sect came to my Cangshui County.”

Han Yuan asked directly.

Yu Cuicui’s eyes were full of panic. ”Because the Grand Elder calculated that a Spiritual Land would appear near your Cangshui County Town. He wanted us to subdue the local forces first, then seize the Spiritual Land.”

A sharp glint flashed in Han Yuan’s eyes.

Ever since he’d entered a Spiritual Land to practice his Cultivation, he knew how important they were.

Unfortunately, the Jianghe Spirit Land only opened once every ten years, so there was no way to enter it again.

But Han Yuan had never expected that a Spiritual Land would appear in Cangshui County!

”Is that true?”

Han Yuan asked in a low voice.

”It should be true.”

”Otherwise, the Grand Elder wouldn’t have sent Eldest Martial Brother down the mountain,”

Yu Cuicui said, afraid that Han Yuan wouldn’t believe her.
