I Grind to Martial Saint

Chapter 127: Leaving the City

When Bai Qi led his men to Han Yuan’s courtyard and saw the ground littered with bodies, his expression shifted slightly.

He had sent Bai Hai over just to test Han Yuan and see his reaction. He never expected Han Yuan to be so ruthless, killing them all and leaving no one alive.

"Supervisor Bai."

"Han Yuan took his people and left through the back of the Observatory."

A Flying Eagle Guard stepped forward and reported quickly.

"He can’t get away..."

"Once he’s outside, there will be people waiting for him."

Bai Qi sneered.

In truth, everything that happened today was designed to pressure Han Yuan and force him to leave.

After all, taking action inside the Observatory would have major repercussions.

Therefore, they had to force Han Yuan out.

Although many people died in this operation, the outcome was ultimately what they had hoped for.

This was because it was an open conspiracy.

If he stayed at the Observatory, he could only wait for death.

Han Yuan had no choice but to leave the Observatory and fight his way out of the city to find a path to survival.

But how could that path be so easy to walk?

...

After leading his people out of the Observatory, Han Yuan sped toward the city outskirts.

Only by getting outside the city walls could they be considered safe.

Leaping and sprinting across the rooftops, they naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Besides, Han Yuan himself was no nobody.

"That figure... doesn’t he look like the Overseas Dragon?"

"He hasn’t been seen in a long time, has he?"

"He’s leading so many Demon Exterminators... where are they going?"

"No idea."

The many figures of the Martial World watched with surprise and suspicion.

Some meddlers even tried to follow Han Yuan and his group.

PSHHT!

Without even a word from Han Yuan, Duan Xu directly slashed out with his saber.

The meddling Martial World Wanderer never imagined that Duan Xu would be so vicious, striking a deadly blow without a single word.

PSHHT!

The Ranger’s head flew into the air before falling back to the ground.

The sight made everyone’s hearts pound in their chests, and no one dared to follow them any longer.

The path out of the city was smooth.

They encountered no obstructions.

Han Yuan and his group charged out of Cangshui County Town.

"Han Yuan, where are we going?"

Duan Xu asked in a low voice.

"To Dapeng Mountain... It’s deserted and a good place for us to hide."

Han Yuan had already decided on a destination.

Dapeng Mountain was located about twenty li from Cangshui County Town, and its peaks were exceptionally steep and towering.

"Alright!"

Duan Xu nodded.

Just as they were galloping along the main road, Han Yuan seemed to sense something. He said in a deep voice, "Brother Duan, you take the men to Dapeng Mountain first..."

"Where are you going?" Duan Xu couldn’t help but ask.

"Someone’s chasing us from behind."

"I’ll go take care of it."

"Don’t worry. Their target is me; they won’t chase after you."

Han Yuan said.

"If we go, we go together!"

Duan Xu said through clenched teeth.

"No... It’ll be easier for me to get away alone."

After speaking, Han Yuan’s figure abruptly darted to the left.

"Brothers... let’s go!"

Duan Xu had no choice but to lead his men and flee in a different direction.

SWISH SWISH SWISH~~

Soon, two ghostly figures appeared on the main road, chasing in the direction Han Yuan had gone.

Han Yuan activated his Seven Stars Step, moving with extreme speed. For a moment, they couldn’t catch up.

"Let’s see how long this kid can last!"

A figure with a sword on his back sneered.

He was one of the Cui Family’s three True Qi masters, Cui Bao. His Lake Light Sword Technique was exceptionally sharp and fierce.

The other was a secret retainer of the Bai Family: The Heart-Piercing Arrow, Ye Song!

On the surface, the Bai Family, like the Cui Family, only had three True Qi masters.

But in reality, every major family had some master retainers hidden in the shadows.

For instance, this Ye Song was also a True Qi master.

Beyond that, his Archery was terrifying, arguably the best in all of Cangshui County.

This time, the Cui and Bai Families had each sent a True Qi master to hunt down Han Yuan. It was clear they were determined to kill him.

With two True Qi Martial Artists joining forces, it wouldn’t matter how strong Han Yuan was.

"He won’t get far!"

Ye Song shouted in a low voice.

He tapped his toes on the ground and leaped into the air.

While in mid-air, Ye Song smoothly pulled three Armor-Piercing Arrows from the quiver on his back and nocked them all on a large, pitch-black bow!

The instant Ye Song reached the apex of his jump...

CREAK~~

...the string of the black bow was drawn into a full moon.

"Three Stars in a Row!"

SWISH SWISH SWISH~~~

The three Armor-Piercing Arrows instantly let out a piercing shriek, streaking towards Han Yuan with terrifying sharpness.

The arrows had yet to arrive, but just hearing their whistle made Han Yuan’s scalp tingle.

He let out a low roar, the muscles in his legs bulged, and his explosive speed suddenly increased by a large margin.

THUD!

Two of the Armor-Piercing Arrows missed, burying themselves deep in the earth.

But the last one was impossible for Han Yuan to dodge.

He could only roar, spin around, and draw his saber.

Eight Extremes·Shattering Wind Slash!

SWOOSH!

The Cold Blade unleashed a terrifying saber glint that suddenly collided with the black streak.

CLANG!

The Armor-Piercing Arrow was shattered by the saber strike.

But Han Yuan had been delayed for a precious moment.

Cui Bao’s figure was already closing in rapidly from a distance.

Han Yuan seemed to know that if he were tied down, he would die without a burial place.

He turned and fled into the distance again.

Relying on his Seven Stars Step and powerful physique, Han Yuan managed to keep Cui Bao from catching up, much to Cui Bao’s surprise.

Meanwhile, Ye Song frowned slightly. He could only use his Body Technique to continue the pursuit, his hands never idle.

One after another, Armor-Piercing Arrows shot toward Han Yuan like black streaks tearing through the air.

It had to be said, his harassment was extremely effective.

Han Yuan could only constantly dodge or block with his saber, and the distance between him and Cui Bao gradually shortened.

’This kid... his reactions are pretty quick.’

Ye Song’s brow furrowed.

He hadn’t expected that he wouldn’t land a single arrow on Han Yuan.

It was making him lose a bit of face.

But soon, his brow furrowed even deeper.

Because Han Yuan had run into a deep, old-growth forest.

This severely obstructed Ye Song’s line of sight.

Moreover, the dense forest had too many obstacles, making archery much less effective.

But Cui Bao was already lost in the heat of the chase.

He refused to believe that he, a True Qi Martial Artist, couldn’t catch up to an Inner Breath Martial Artist. He followed right behind Han Yuan, charging into the deep, old-growth forest.

Seeing this, Ye Song could only follow.

The few of them began another frantic chase within the deep forest.

Ye Song stopped shooting arrows.

Because the quiver he carried had very few Armor-Piercing Arrows left; he had to conserve them.

The three of them played a game of cat-and-mouse, soon venturing deep into the old forest.

And just then, Han Yuan’s stamina seemed to be depleted, and his speed began to drop noticeably.

"Finally can’t take it anymore?"

"For an Inner Breath Martial Artist to have lasted this long is actually quite impressive."

Cui Bao sneered.

He channeled the True Qi in his body to his legs, erupting with speed as he charged murderously toward Han Yuan.

Han Yuan let out a low growl, seeming to unleash all his Inner Breath as his figure accelerated once more.

In an instant, the figures of the two men vanished from Ye Song’s sight.

’That guy... he’s too reckless!’

Ye Song frowned, quickly speeding up to follow.

But this moment, when the distance between his pursuers grew, was exactly what Han Yuan had been waiting for!
