I Grind to Martial Saint

”Interesting!”

Han Yuan felt the ice surface vibrate and a faint, unsettling smile touched his lips.

He channeled his power, raised his right leg, and stomped hard on the ice.

BOOM!!!

The ground shook violently, unleashing a shockwave that slammed into the serpentine ridge of ice.

The two forces collided violently beneath the ice, instantly blasting open a large crater and sending countless shards flying.

Amidst the flying shards, a figure rushed out from the icy mist. It brandished an Ice Blade, bringing it down on Han Yuan in a heavy, powerful chop.

SWISH!

The Ice Blade pulsed with icy mist, carrying an aura of extreme cold; its power was terrifying.

Han Yuan had no weapon at hand, so with a low shout, he swung his right fist!

Great Demon True Qi surged out, forming a violent Fist Aura over his knuckles.

BOOM!!!

A massive crash.

Han Yuan had actually punched a chip right out of the Ice Blade.

At the same time, Han Yuan stepped forward, spun, and swung his elbow, smashing it violently toward the Ice Ghost!

The Ice Ghost didn’t even try to dodge, letting Han Yuan’s elbow smash into its head.

THUD~

Han Yuan felt like he’d struck a solid block of ice!

At the same time, a frigid aura drilled in through his elbow and spread throughout his body.

Han Yuan sensed something was wrong and was about to circulate his qi and blood to suppress the frigid aura.

But he was a step too slow, and his body momentarily froze stiff.

The Ice Ghost, of course, wouldn’t let this chance slip by. It raised its right arm and brought the Ice Blade down with a vicious chop!

”Transformed Whale!”

At the critical moment, Han Yuan activated the first stage of his transformation.

BOOM!!

The qi and blood in his body surged, as if he had transformed into a ferocious beast.

The terrifying burst of Divine Power instantly restored his mobility. His hands shot out and clamped down hard on the descending Ice Blade, while his right leg simultaneously shot up in a lightning-fast jab.

This time, he chose to kick the Ice Ghost’s knee, aiming to instantly cripple its mobility.

The Ice Ghost hadn’t expected Han Yuan to still be able to move. The instant its Ice Blade was caught, it was about to circulate its Extreme Cold Power to freeze him solid.

But in the next moment, it felt its knee get obliterated by a colossal force.

RUMBLE!!!

The Ice Ghost was forced to one knee.

It threw its mouth wide open and spat out a breath of frigid air.

Han Yuan was about to press his attack when he sensed something was wrong and dodged backward.

CRACKLE!!!

The frigid breath froze the very air to ice.

If Han Yuan hadn’t dodged back, he would most likely have been frozen solid by that blast of cold air.

”An Innate Martial Artist...”

”Your flesh and blood must be delicious.”

The Ice Ghost stared at Han Yuan from a short distance away, its voice cold and greedy.

CRACK!!

Frigid energy swiftly gathered at its shattered knee.

In less than a breath’s time, the Ice Ghost was standing again.

”An Evil Demon Seed... and a fully awakened one at that... This is the first time I’ve seen one.”

”It seems you’ve harmed quite a few people here on Snow Dragon Mountain,” Han Yuan said with a slight smile.

He could feel the creature’s chaotic, cold, and powerful aura.

This was definitely a fully awakened Evil Demon Seed.

After all, Snow Dragon Mountain was remote. Even if a few more people than usual died, everyone would just assume they had bad luck and ran into severe weather.

No one would have ever thought that an Evil Demon Seed was hiding on Snow Dragon Mountain, preying on people.

This had given the Ice Ghost time to grow stronger, until its power was fully restored.

”Eat you...”

The Ice Ghost repeated these two words, then violently swung its Ice Blade.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!!

Han Yuan felt a wave of cold air rush toward him.

The gleam from the Ice Ghost’s slash had transformed into a volley of sharp icicles.

Using his arms as blades, Han Yuan unleashed a furious, whistling gale, sweeping out continuously.

He shattered the icicles one after another, turning them into a mist of extreme cold.

The Ice Ghost seized the opportunity, thrusting its Ice Blade rapidly toward Han Yuan.

SWISH!

Han Yuan barely dodged, and at the same time, he slammed a Celestial Spirit Divine Fist into the Ice Ghost’s chest.

The Ice Ghost was covered in thick Frost Armor. When Han Yuan’s fist landed, it only left a fist-shaped dent in the armor and didn’t even knock the creature back.

The Ice Ghost grinned, opening its mouth to spit out another breath of frigid air.

As if he could predict its every move, Han Yuan launched a Kuixing Kick straight at its chin.

BAM!

Before the Ice Ghost could spit out its frigid breath, its chin was smashed, and it stumbled back three steps.

Han Yuan roared, stepped forward, and viciously threw a Giant Spirit Monument-Opening Hand, smashing it toward the Ice Ghost’s head.

Even the hardest ice could be shattered if the force was violent enough!

This was the Martial Dao Han Yuan pursued!

The Ice Ghost raised its arm to block.

”Shatter!”

Han Yuan roared as his power surged once again. His arm, now like a Horse-Cutting Saber, came crashing down!

BANG!

The Ice Ghost’s arm couldn’t withstand such immense power and exploded into fragments.

It shrieked, swinging its Ice Blade at Han Yuan with its remaining arm.

BANG! BANG! BANG!!!

The two of them began to fight wildly inside the Ice Palace.

After entering his Transformed Whale State, Han Yuan’s strength and explosive power were in no way inferior to the Ice Ghost’s.

Even though the creature’s frigid, icy mist constantly tried to invade his body, Han Yuan was prepared.

He had circulated his Innate Great Demon Qi throughout his body, and the intensely hot qi and blood within him effectively neutralized the icy mist.

One-Eyed Dragon watched this scene, dumbfounded.

He had never imagined Han Yuan could be this powerful—strong enough to contend with his master.

Just then, One-Eyed Dragon suddenly heard a blood-curdling scream.

He whipped his head around to look.

The scream had come from his companion, the tall, thin man.
