I Grind to Martial Saint

But Han Yuan, with his immense willpower and Vajra Indestructible physique, refused to fall despite the constant barrage of blows. In fact, he only fought with greater ferocity.

In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged hundreds of blows.

Yang Fanyu had originally thought Han Yuan would quickly collapse.

But he never expected Han Yuan to last so long.

”Han Yuan... to be honest... I’m almost starting to feel reluctant to kill you.”

”If you were to break through and become an Innate Grandmaster, I fear I would be no match for you.”

”Unfortunately... there are no ifs.”

Yang Fanyu slammed his palm into the center of Han Yuan’s forehead.

BOOM!

The Red Fire Innate True Qi exploded outward, knocking Han Yuan back a dozen steps.

But he just shook his head and was fine.

The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill had made every part of his body indestructible.

So-called vital points were no longer a weakness for him.

”I don’t need to reach the Innate Realm. I can kill you right now!”

Han Yuan grinned.

”In your dreams!”

”Allow me to show you... the true power of an Innate Grandmaster.”

Yang Fanyu said scornfully.

In that instant, an extremely violent power erupted from Yang Fanyu.

His entire body surged with the aura of red fire, and his eyes blazed with a Divine Flame, radiating a scorching, violent energy.

Waves of scorching energy radiated from him, spreading out in all directions.

This was the true power of an Innate Grandmaster.

In the Innate Realm, one transcends the mundane. The body surpasses the limits of its mortal flesh.

It could be said that before, Yang Fanyu had only been toying with Han Yuan.

Only now was he getting serious.

BOOM!

”Opening of Two Yang!”

Yang Fanyu pressed his palms together, unleashing an earth-shattering force as he struck out at Han Yuan.

The move was terrifyingly powerful, its explosive force so immense that even Han Yuan’s heart seized in alarm!

He let out a furious roar, a brutal and baleful aura flashing in his eyes as he activated his Transformed Whale State and the Vajra Invincible Divine Power.

With the two states stacked, Han Yuan’s body swelled explosively, transforming him into a three-meter-tall Demon Vajra wreathed in black qi.

”Azure Heaven: Tears of Blood!”

The moment this saber technique was executed, Yang Fanyu was instantly assaulted by a profoundly ominous and terrifying aura.

The Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber, surging with a dark, crimson light, came slashing down.

BOOM!!!

One force was explosive and scorching hot.

The other was dark and ominous!

The entire Thunderstruck Forest seemed to tremble.

’This old bastard... he’s not so tough after all.’

Han Yuan was forced back several steps.

With every step he took, the tremors in the Thunderstruck Forest intensified.

And yet, he had withstood the full-force blow of an Innate Grandmaster.

”You... what in the world is your physical body made of...?”

Surprise flickered in Yang Fanyu’s flame-filled eyes.

He hadn’t imagined Han Yuan’s Horizontal Training Technique was so monstrous that he could physically endure an outburst of Innate True Qi!

Han Yuan didn’t answer. He had just taken Yang Fanyu’s palm strike head-on, and even with his Vajra Indestructible Body, he could feel his internal energy in disarray.

”Kill!”

Han Yuan let out a savage roar and charged at Yang Fanyu like a demonic tower.

”Courting death!”

Yang Fanyu couldn’t believe Han Yuan would dare to attack first. The energy radiating from his body grew more terrifying, the temperature scorching higher. He channeled his Red Sun Palm Force and charged forward to meet him.

RUMBLE!!!

The two clashed, the ensuing commotion growing ever more terrifying.

They were now locked in a true battle to the death, their concentration absolute, not daring to let their focus waver for an instant.

Absorbed in this state, Yang Fanyu failed to notice the sky above. The dark clouds had grown deeper, as black as ink, with serpents of lightning slithering through them with increasing frequency, as if brewing a massive electrical storm.

Deep within the Wind and Thunder Daoist Temple.

Stood the Wind and Thunder Tower.

A figure appeared atop the Wind and Thunder Tower, clad in a Yin Yang Daoist Robe, wearing a Daoist Crown, and holding a Peach Wood Sword.

He gazed down at the fierce battle in the Thunderstruck Forest, his expression incredibly solemn.

’I only have one chance.’

’If this attack doesn’t work...’

’...Han Yuan will be in grave danger.’

Zhang Cang continuously channeled his Magical Power, going so far as to spit three mouthfuls of his Essence Blood onto the Peach Wood Sword.

He began chanting a Spell, unleashing his Thunder Technique.

The very reason Han Yuan had chosen to fight in the Thunderstruck Forest was because its unique terrain acted as a natural Thunder Array.

Furthermore, Zhang Cang had spent the past few days making special preparations in the forest, allowing it to unleash even greater power.

RUMBLE!!!

A terrifying, destructive aura began to roil across the sky.

This terrifying, destructive aura made even Yang Fanyu, locked in fierce combat, feel a tremor of fear in his heart.

’What’s happening?’

He looked up, only then noticing the strange phenomenon in the sky.

’This is definitely not a natural occurrence.’

Just then, he heard a majestic, thunderous voice boom across the heavens.

”LEI GONG, AID ME!!!”

BOOM!!!

A figure seemed to materialize in the sky—a man’s body with the features of a bird-like beast and wings sprouting from its back. It held the Thunder God’s Chisel, and with a mighty clash, it struck them together!

A terrifying bolt of lightning shot down!

The lightning held a faint purple tint and pulsed with an overwhelmingly destructive aura.

”Damn it!!!”

It was too late for Yang Fanyu to dodge. He could only frantically channel his Innate True Qi, forming what looked like a Divine Fire Shield to protect himself!

At the same time, he crossed his arms to shield his head.

As the lightning bolt struck, everything within a several-hundred-meter radius was annihilated by its light.

Even Han Yuan hadn’t expected Zhang Cang to summon such terrifying Celestial Thunder, and he had to temporarily retreat.

When the lightning quickly dissipated, Han Yuan saw a massive, scorched crater where his opponent had been.

Yang Fanyu hadn’t been blasted to death, but he was seriously injured.

His arms, in particular, were charred black by the blast.

”Damn it!”

Yang Fanyu coughed, a puff of black smoke escaping his lips.

He never thought he’d suffer such a major setback.

’Even my Innate True Qi shield was broken.’

”Kill!”

Seizing the opportunity, Han Yuan charged in, his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber raised to kill.

’This is the best chance!’

’With Yang Fanyu’s Innate True Qi shield broken, I can actually threaten his life!’

Yang Fanyu’s expression turned grim. His hands glowed crimson as he frantically unleashed a volley of palm strikes!

RUMBLE!!!

The fight became utterly savage and brutal.

Techniques and Martial Arts were forgotten; they tore at each other like wild beasts.

THUD THUD THUD!

Yang Fanyu landed a series of heavy blows on Han Yuan’s chest, forcing him to cough up blood repeatedly.

But the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber, in turn, continuously carved bloody gashes into his own body.

By the end, Yang Fanyu’s white hair was stained red with blood, his face twisted and ferocious like a demon’s.

BANG BANG BANG!

He landed a dozen consecutive heavy palm strikes on Han Yuan’s right shoulder.

Each palm strike held the force of a volcanic eruption. Even with his Vajra Invincible body, Han Yuan couldn’t withstand it. There was a sharp crack.

His entire shoulder bone was shattered.

His right arm fell limp, the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber clattering to the ground.

But Han Yuan funneled all his remaining strength into his left arm.

The muscles in his arm bulged as he slammed a vicious punch into Yang Fanyu’s face.

BOOM!!!

Teeth shattered, and his facial features twisted and broke.

Simultaneously, Han Yuan drove his knee hard into Yang Fanyu’s gut.

The impact made Yang Fanyu shriek in pain, sending his entire body flying into the air.

Han Yuan raised his left leg and delivered another Kuixing Kick.

BAM!

Yang Fanyu’s jaw exploded.

The combination completely exhausted Han Yuan’s Qi Power.

His chest heaved violently as he gasped for air.

THUD!

A few moments later, Yang Fanyu’s body crashed heavily to the ground.

His condition was even worse; his body twitched as he coughed up blood relentlessly.

Yang Fanyu could never have imagined that coming down from the mountain this time would cost him his life.

He turned his head and saw Han Yuan shakily pick up the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber with one hand and stagger toward him. A bitter smile touched his lips.

”Any last words?”

Han Yuan asked coldly.

”I... I...”

Yang Fanyu had wanted to use this opportunity to gather his remaining strength for one last palm strike, hoping he might be able to take Han Yuan down with him.

But before he could even get the words out, Han Yuan raised the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber and sliced off his head.

Everything came to an abrupt end.

Yang Fanyu’s eyes were wide with disbelief.

”You’re the one who said it... ’The Martial World is a treacherous place, full of deceit.’”

Han Yuan looked into Yang Fanyu’s dead eyes, and his blood-smeared face broke into a wide grin.
