I Grind to Martial Saint

"It hurts... It hurts so much..."

The large man wailed in a low voice.

"What's wrong with you?"

Han Yuan asked, a little curious.

He could tell from the man's tone that he still possessed a shred of sanity.

"I'm in so much pain..."

"Can you help me find release?"

The large man lifted his head, revealing a resolute, chiseled face.

"I can..."

"How do you want me to help you?"

Han Yuan asked softly.

"It's simple... Kill me..."

"Kill me in a proper fight..."

"I have lived my life for the Martial Dao... At the end of my life, I want to have one last, satisfying battle."

The large man said in a deep voice.

From the man's tone, Han Yuan could sense a powerful fighting spirit.

And sincerity.

"Of course... if you're not my match... I won't show any mercy. I'll tear you to pieces."

The large man added.

"No problem."

"But before we fight, I want to know your name."

Han Yuan said calmly.

"Wei Xiongtian."

"I've been here too long. It's been so long since I've said my own name, I almost forgot it myself."

The large man grinned.

"Wei Xiongtian... A good name."

"Why are you here?"

Han Yuan asked.

"I was a Guardian Envoy of the Celestial Net Department. Three years ago, I encountered a resurgent Evil Demon Seed. After a bitter struggle, I managed to kill it."

"But my body was contaminated by the Evil Demon Seed. After trying numerous methods to no avail, I had no choice but to come to the Great Vajra Temple for help..."

"But nothing worked."

"In the end, they could only place me in this Demon Suppression Tower. At the very least, it can suppress the contamination from the Evil Demon Seed and allow me to maintain a sliver of sanity."

"But even so, I still suffer excruciating pain day and night..."

Wei Xiongtian said in a deep voice.

Han Yuan finally understood why Wei Xiongtian wasn't imprisoned in a cell, but was merely bound by chains.

He had likely volunteered to be confined in the Demon Suppression Tower.

"I understand..."

"I will see you on your way."

Han Yuan said seriously.

His eyes held a hint of admiration.

He could sense that Wei Xiongtian was a kindred spirit.

A violent and crazed aura began to spread from Han Yuan, completely unrestrained.

Sensing Han Yuan's aura, Wei Xiongtian's contorted face lit up with excitement.

"What a powerful aura... It seems I've truly met a worthy opponent today."

CLANG CLANG CLANG~~~

Wei Xiongtian's stooped body slowly straightened. He casually flexed his arms and legs.

With a few sharp BANGS,

the chains binding Wei Xiongtian's limbs shattered one after another.

It was clear the chains were merely decorative; they had no real effect on Wei Xiongtian at all.

"I am Han Yuan."

"From the Great Ling Dynasty."

Han Yuan said, cupping his fist.

"The Great Ling Dynasty... such a faraway place."

"Come on, let's have a good fight!"

Wei Xiongtian roared with laughter.

Seeing this, the Orange Cat flickered and dashed into a corner.

"Meow~"

'It's time for my favorite part: watching the show!'

The Orange Cat's eyes were wide and fixated on the scene.

"Then let's begin."

Han Yuan nodded.

"Take this! Iron Dragon Whip!"

Wei Xiongtian roared and violently swung his right arm.

WHOOSH~~

The chain wrapped around his arm was pulled taut by an immense force, smashing viciously toward Han Yuan.

The very air seemed to shatter.

Han Yuan's eyes gleamed with excitement. He clenched his fist and stepped forward, blasting out a Celestial Spirit Divine Fist.

A tyrannical Great Demon Fist Aura coated his fist, scattering the air currents.

CLANG!

The chain was instantly pulverized by Han Yuan's punch.

"Good Qi Power!"

Wei Xiongtian praised, then abruptly lowered his shoulder and charged fiercely at Han Yuan.

Iron Mountain Lean!

This Iron Mountain Lean possessed immense power, as if it could shatter a mountain peak!

Han Yuan shot out a palm with his left hand.

When it came to a head-on clash, he had never feared anyone!

BOOM!

The two terrifying forces collided, erupting with a massive bang.

THUD THUD THUD~~

Han Yuan and Wei Xiongtian each retreated seven steps.

It seemed to be an even match.

But in reality, Wei Xiongtian had used the momentum of his shoulder charge, creating a much fiercer impact.

In other words, Wei Xiongtian had come off slightly worse than Han Yuan.

"Good, good, good!"

"Han Yuan, I'm about to use my full power now."

"This will make it impossible for me to suppress the mutation from the Evil Demon Seed... You could very well die at my hands."

Wei Xiongtian said in a low, serious voice.

"Don't worry. I will definitely win."

Han Yuan said confidently.

"Hahaha, I love that confidence!"

Wei Xiongtian let out a great laugh.

BOOM!

The next moment, an immensely vast, evil energy erupted from Wei Xiongtian.

His already towering body swelled up again. Dark scales faintly appeared on his skin, and his muscles grew grotesquely thick. Vaguely, the phantom of a ferocious, white-haired, green-faced Ghost seemed to materialize behind him, roaring.

It was obvious that as Wei Xiongtian unleashed his power, he could no longer control the demonic contamination he had worked so hard to suppress.

"Die!"

Han Yuan also activated the first stage of the Transformed Whale, his body rapidly expanding as he smashed a Giant Spirit Monument-Opening Hand down on Wei Xiongtian.

BAM!

Wei Xiongtian grinned and threw a heavy punch!

The Palm Blade and the fist collided, creating a surging shockwave.

The next instant, the two began to fight with frantic abandon.

Wei Xiongtian's Fist Technique was wide and powerful, his fists like Heavy Hammers, continuously pounding Han Yuan's body.

Even with Han Yuan's current Vajra Invincible Body, he was being battered, and his internal organs took a considerable impact.

But Han Yuan was no pushover either.

Empowered by his various Martial Arts Divine Powers, his explosive strength was clearly a notch above Wei Xiongtian's. The might of his Celestial Spirit Divine Fist was also terrifying, causing the scales on his opponent's skin to constantly crack and bleed.

"Hahaha!!!"

"This feels great!!!"

After exchanging dozens of blows, Wei Xiongtian let out a long roar to the heavens. His right arm suddenly whipped out like a lash, the back of his hand smashing toward Han Yuan's face.

Han Yuan raised his left arm to block but felt a terrifying force slam into him, sending his body flying backward.

BAM!

He crashed right into the wall of a prison cell.

At this moment, Wei Xiongtian had not a trace of mercy.

Under the influence of the Evil Demon Seed, his mind was gradually becoming irritable and crazed.

"SWISH!"

Wei Xiongtian abruptly appeared in front of Han Yuan, throwing a heavy punch straight at his head.

Han Yuan dodged with a tilt of his head.

BAM!

Wei Xiongtian's fist punched straight through the wall.

But Han Yuan struck back, slamming a Stabilizing Elbow from his right arm hard into Wei Xiongtian's chest.

PFFT!

The elbow strike sent Wei Xiongtian stumbling back several steps.

The terrifying force made blood trickle from the corner of his mouth.

But for him, in his demon-contaminated state, the internal shock meant nothing. In fact, it only made him more excited.

BOOM!!!

Just as Wei Xiongtian was about to attack again, a figure slammed into him like a high-speed train.

This time, Wei Xiongtian was sent flying back more than ten meters. Just as he scrambled to his feet, a heavy kick shot toward his abdomen.

Wei Xiongtian didn't move. In an instant, his eyes even became vacant, as if he had turned to stone.

BAM!

Han Yuan felt like he had kicked a hard statue. A rebounding force even shot back, making his right leg go numb.

"What is this...?"

Han Yuan retreated a few steps.

He saw Wei Xiongtian instantly become ferocious again, his large hand clawing for Han Yuan's face.

BANG BANG BANG~~~

The two clashed in a great battle once more, and the Orange Cat watched from the side, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.

'Meow~ That Wei Xiongtian really has some skill, to be able to last so many rounds against Han Yuan.'

'I wonder who'll win in the end...'

the Orange Cat thought to itself.

Just then, Han Yuan landed another punch on Wei Xiongtian's chest.

BAM!

This time, he encountered the same situation as before.

His opponent's body had suddenly become incomparably hard. No matter how wild his power was, it was useless. The man didn't even budge, and the impact left his own arm extremely numb.
