I Grind to Martial Saint

”Too slow,”

Situ Hui suddenly appeared before Han Yuan in mid-air as if teleporting, striking a palm toward his chest.

BAM!

Situ Hui’s burst of speed was simply too fast. Before Han Yuan could react, he was struck hard in the chest and sent flying back more than ten meters.

Before he could even regain his footing, Situ Hui attacked again, unleashing another brutal palm strike.

Han Yuan roared, ”Steel Mountain!”

In an instant, every muscle in his body became as hard as iron.

When Situ Hui’s palm struck him, it was like hitting an ancient monastery bell, producing a clear, resonant sound.

Han Yuan was knocked back a dozen more steps!

”Red Fire Ring!”

Situ Hui grinned, his hands wreathed in crimson flames. He swung them, forming a fiery red ring that pulsed with scorching heat, and struck!

Han Yuan quickly adjusted the True Qi in his body. All of his Five Emperors Great Demon True Qi transformed into a cold, deep water vapor that coiled around his fists.

”Celestial Spirit·Deep Sea!”

BOOM!!!!

In that moment, the sound of a tsunami seemed to surge through the entire Heart-lock Cave.

Fist and palm collided!

Like water hitting a wok of boiling oil, the water vapor instantly sizzled, accompanied by a violent burst of fiery light.

Han Yuan was blown away, slamming into a stone wall.

RUMBLE!!!

The Heart-lock Cave shook violently.

”Han Yuan, you truly disappoint me.”

”I gave you three years. I thought you might have a surprise for me.”

Situ Hui said, shaking his head in disappointment.

”Don’t celebrate so soon... The fight is only just beginning.”

Han Yuan casually brushed the dust off his clothes and grinned.

With his current physical strength, the damage he’d just taken was negligible.

An extremely violent and terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Han Yuan.

His muscles swelled wildly, his black hair whipped about, and his eyes turned scarlet, making him look like a ferocious Great Demon.

Second Stage, Demon Whale Transformation, activate!

”Now this is interesting.”

Situ Hui let out a strange laugh.

Han Yuan now stood over three meters tall, while Situ Hui looked like a piece of rotten wood that could be crushed with ease.

Judging by appearances alone, the difference between them was immense.

But the look on Situ Hui’s face was strangely eerie. ”Then let me show you the true power of the Divine Sea Realm!”

”Earth Ring Shattered!”

A powerful aura erupted from Situ Hui’s body as he suddenly lifted his right leg and stomped on the ground!

The ground instantly began to shake.

Han Yuan instantly felt the ground beneath him begin to collapse.

His legs exploded with speed, and just as the ground gave way, he shot out as a black shadow.

SWISH!

Han Yuan violently raised his right leg and launched a Kuixing Kick!

After activating the Demon Whale Transformation, Han Yuan’s explosive power had increased so much that even Situ Hui couldn’t dodge in time.

Of course, he didn’t need to dodge.

Situ Hui thrust out a withered and decayed arm.

The arm seemed to have been thrust out from Hell itself, saturated with a heavy aura of death.

BAM!

A ferocious torrent of air erupted.

Han Yuan and Situ Hui suddenly began to trade blows with frenzied intensity.

Their movements were too fast, creating countless afterimages as they constantly clashed. The pace was absolutely suffocating.

Situ Hui’s Five Elements Fist Technique was versatile and powerful, suppressing even Han Yuan, who had activated his Demon Whale Transformation.

But all Situ Hui could do was suppress him.

Han Yuan’s physical body was simply too tough.

For him, even taking a few injuries was no big deal; it was all within his range of tolerance.

BAM!

Han Yuan was struck in the chest by Situ Hui’s palm again. Fiery light exploded, and he was knocked back a dozen steps.

But he looked completely unharmed as he stared at Situ Hui and grinned. ”Master, how much longer can you last?”

Situ Hui was in a terrible state.

As the two continued to fight, his old, hidden injuries began to flare up, pushing him toward collapse.

”Brat... even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.”

”In my current state, I’d have no problem fighting you for another ten days and ten nights.”

Situ Hui sneered.

”Ten days and ten nights is too short.”

”I’m prepared to fight you for a whole month!”

Han Yuan took out a bottle of Elixir Pills and swallowed a large mouthful.

”It won’t take that long...”

”Half an hour... and I should be able to kill you.”

Situ Hui was inwardly astonished at how terrifyingly strong Han Yuan’s physique was.

Even without True Qi, his physical strength alone was enough to rival some Divine Sea Experts.

’Unfortunately for him, his opponent was me.’

”Han Yuan, let me show you my true power!”

Situ Hui grinned.

The next moment, demonic energy surged from his body. His withered frame swelled as if being inflated, veins bulging all over. His face became utterly savage as two goat horns sprouted from his head, making him look half-human, half-demon.

”Gray Goat!”

”So you’ve finally shown your true colors.”

Han Yuan’s eyes turned ice-cold as he watched Situ Hui’s transformation. ’So Yan Qingyu wasn’t wrong,’ he thought to himself.

’This Situ Hui really is Gray Goat, one of the Twelve High Priests of the Immortal Sect!’

”This is my true power!”

Situ Hui cackled, grinning.

He spread his arms, and strange, twisted eyes began to appear on his arms and chest, all of them staring at Han Yuan.

Han Yuan could feel waves of sinister, ice-cold will assaulting his mind. Countless evil and incomprehensible whispers echoed in his ears, and his consciousness began to cloud over.

Situ Hui flickered, appearing instantly before Han Yuan and slamming a large hand down toward his skull!

”Mind Guard·Five Elements!”

Barely clinging to a sliver of consciousness, Han Yuan instantly activated his life-saving trump card.
