I Grind to Martial Saint

BOOM!!!

A gaping hole exploded open in the dim Buddha Hall, sending stone fragments flying everywhere.

Elder Monk Huiming was sent flying violently backward.

But his physique was terrifyingly tough, like iron and stone. Despite the horrifying impact, he seemed completely unaffected and quickly got back on his feet.

”Tough bones you’ve got there!”

Han Yuan charged out from the hole in the Buddha Hall, his fists smashing down like Heavy Hammers!

His movements were ferocious and his explosive power immense, creating a Fist Force that was savagely unparalleled!

Elder Monk Huiming roared wildly in response. The muscles and sinews all over his body bulged menacingly as he viciously blasted out a palm strike!

The terrifying, surging Palm Force kicked up a violent Gang Feng, in no way inferior to Han Yuan’s Mountain-Breaking Fist!

BANG!

The moment fist and palm met, two terrifying forces collided.

The ground beneath them exploded, and a thick cloud of dust billowed into the air.

Then, within the dust, two afterimages appeared, locked in a continuous, brutal clash.

They moved too fast for the naked eye to follow, the sound of their impacts like a series of muffled thunderclaps!

「A dozen breaths later.」

With a loud bang.

Elder Monk Huiming’s figure was sent flying.

The next moment.

Han Yuan, cloaked in a tyrannical aura, tore through the dust. He relentlessly unleashed his Giant Spirit Monument-Opening Hand, striking madly at Elder Monk Huiming!

True to his combat style, once Han Yuan gained the upper hand, he would not stop until his opponent was utterly crushed!

BANG! BANG! BANG!!!

His savage, ferocious Hand Blade strikes, each carrying immense weight, hammered into Monk Huiming’s body.

But his opponent’s physique was as hard as the legendary indestructible golden bodies. Every time Han Yuan’s Hand Blade descended, it was like striking a block of refined steel, ringing out with a metallic clang.

’I don’t believe this!’

’This old monk is impossible to break!’

Han Yuan frantically circulated his Great Demon Qi. With a CRACKLE from his bones and sinews, his power grew even more ferocious.

BAM!

Han Yuan’s Hand Blade viciously chopped down on his opponent’s Skull.

This time.

His opponent’s skull finally gave way, caving in with an unnatural depression.

Han Yuan immediately grabbed his opponent’s head, forced it down, and simultaneously brought up his right knee!

CRUNCH~~~

Elder Monk Huiming let out a wretched scream as his entire face was crushed and twisted out of shape by Han Yuan’s knee.

”How are you so weak!”

”Something like you is only good for being my punching bag!”

Han Yuan gripped Elder Monk Huiming’s shoulders in a deathlock, viciously driving his knee into the monk’s head again and again!

Elder Monk Huiming roared like a cornered beast, but Han Yuan’s hands were like inescapable divine chains, holding him fast. He was unable to break free, forced to endure the relentless knees to his head.

Just as Han Yuan thought the battle was over,

a terrifying wave of resentment erupted from Elder Monk Huiming’s body, blasting him away.

”You devil, I’m going to eat you!!”

Elder Monk Huiming’s face was nothing but mangled, rotting bone, with bits of flesh and blood vessels still hanging from it. It was an exceptionally hideous and terrifying sight.

But his dark, powerful body swelled once more, transforming him into a two-and-a-half-meter-tall being that resembled a black-skinned goliath.

He appeared before Han Yuan in a flash, unleashing a sky-full of dark palm shadows.

”Hahaha!!!”

”Now this is more like it!”

Seeing this, Han Yuan broke into a savage grin, swung his arms, and charged forward to meet the attack.

BANG! BANG! BANG!~~

This time, after a dozen or so exchanges, it was Han Yuan who first buckled under Elder Monk Huiming’s power. The monk landed a fist squarely on his chest.

THUD!

Han Yuan was sent flying as if struck by lightning.

After he landed, his vision went dark.

A terrifying, pitch-black figure loomed over him.

Elder Monk Huiming swung his massive, pitch-black hand down on Han Yuan’s head like a millstone.

BAM!

Han Yuan’s right leg shot up, delivering a Kuixing Kick that landed on his opponent’s abdomen a split second before the hand could connect.

Elder Monk Huiming was knocked back three steps.

But the grin on his face only grew more savage. Seeing Han Yuan get to his feet, he lunged forward.

But a strange smile also crept across Han Yuan’s face.

BOOM!!

The Great Demon Qi coiling around him suddenly erupted. His muscles swelled explosively, and in the instant his leg muscles bulged, his body had grown a full size larger than Monk Huiming.

The next moment, Han Yuan shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow!

BOOM!!!

It was as if two black mountains had viciously smashed into each other.

A visible shockwave erupted, and the ground at the epicenter of their collision collapsed and cracked, the fissures spreading outward.

Elder Monk Huiming was sent flying back a dozen meters. He had just staggered to his feet when a terrifying fist slammed into his chest!

BOOM~~~

It was a power beyond description!

No matter how tough Elder Monk Huiming’s body was, it seemed utterly fragile before this surging, savage power that could seemingly destroy anything!

THUMP~

A huge, bloody hole was violently punched straight through Monk Huiming’s chest.

But the creature was bizarre; even with its chest blown open, it wouldn’t die.

”Giant Spirit·Gang Splitting Slash!”

Han Yuan’s left hand, wreathed in profound and tyrannical Great Demon Qi, chopped down like a Demon Blade!

CRACK~~~

As the Hand Blade fell,

Monk Huiming’s head exploded into pieces.

His body rapidly dissolved into black mist and vanished.

’This thing’s resentment runs too deep... Its power is far more terrifying than that of an ordinary Resentful Evil.’

’If I hadn’t run into it... in a little more time, it probably would have entered the Blood Soul Realm.’

Han Yuan’s body slowly returned to its normal size.

Evil Spirits are divided into Malice Souls, Fierce Spirits, Resentful Evils, and Blood Souls.

Above the Blood Soul Realm are the Evil Demon Seeds.

Although no Evil Demon Seed has appeared since the Chaotic Ancient Era,

the appearance of the Yellow Springs Saint Mother had already made Han Yuan realize that these long-vanished Evil Demon Seeds were about to reappear.

When that time comes, the world will surely fall into chaos.

And now, he could stumble upon such a ferocious Evil Spirit just by randomly picking a temple.

The first signs of this great chaos seemed to be showing.

Han Yuan took out two Spirit Pills, swallowed them, and walked back into the Buddha Hall.

The three unlucky souls—Zhang Qiang, Li Da, and Li Xilun—were still unconscious.

Han Yuan slapped them awake one by one.

”That’s strange... How did I pass out?” Zhang Qiang stood up, looking bewildered.

”Me too... I felt like I was being stuffed into a jar. I couldn’t breathe, and then I just passed out,” Li Da said, clutching his head.

”Me too,” Li Xilun added.

”Sir... what happened here?”

Zhang Qiang looked at Han Yuan.

He knew that only Han Yuan could give him an answer.

”Do you really want to know?”

Han Yuan asked.

Hearing this, Zhang Qiang seemed to realize something and quickly shook his head. ”No... I don’t want to know.”

Li Xilun and Li Da weren’t fools, either.

They understood that some things are better left unknown.

”Go to the woodshed and find some firewood. I’m going to burn this Huian Temple to the ground.”

Han Yuan said calmly.

Hearing this, the three of them didn’t ask why and hurried to do as he commanded.

「Before long.」

Huian Temple was engulfed in a raging inferno.

”It seemed like a tranquil place, but it was anything but.”

Zhang Qiang said, shaking his head as he watched Huian Temple burn.
