I Grind to Martial Saint

"Watch out! There are some foul things down here!"

Han Yuan said quickly after shattering a rotten corpse with one punch.

Before he could even finish speaking,

Countless rotten arms burst from the ground, clawing madly at Han Yuan and the others.

"Get out here!"

Han Yuan roared, stomping his right foot hard on the ground.

RUMBLE!!!

The entire grotto began to shake violently.

Scores of rotten corpses erupted from the slick ground, lunging viciously at Han Yuan and the others.

There were simply too many of these rotten corpses, a densely packed horde.

It seemed as if Han Yuan and his companions were about to be swallowed by a sea of corpses.

"Courting death!"

Han Yuan bellowed, his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber unleashing a terrifying Saber Evil as it swept out.

The Evil Qi was exceptionally effective against these Evil Spirits.

The Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber could easily tear these rotten corpses to shreds.

SQUELCH!!!

One after another, he instantly hacked the rotten corpses in two.

In less than two breaths, a large clearing had been carved out around Han Yuan.

He hurriedly looked toward Zhang Cang and Old Yan.

That sly old fox Old Yan was naturally in no danger. He had the Golden Light Protection and, holding a Wooden Tower, channeled his Magical Power to deploy it.

The small Wooden Tower shot out, smashing one rotten corpse after another.

It was Zhang Cang’s performance, however, that surprised Han Yuan.

He held a longsword, his footwork light. As he weaved and dodged, his blade flashed. Though he lacked Han Yuan’s terrifying destructive power, not a single corpse could get near him.

Seeing this, Han Yuan relaxed.

’With a performance like that, Zhang Cang would have no trouble protecting himself.’

That meant he could focus all his energy on clearing out the rest of the corpses.

"Kill!"

Han Yuan gave a low shout, swinging the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber with both hands like a fierce general of old charging into an enemy camp.

He tore through them with unstoppable momentum!

He was a one-man army!

Not a single rotten corpse could withstand a single strike from him.

One by one, broken corpses fell to the grotto floor, soon piling up into a small mountain.

"ROAR~"

Suddenly, Han Yuan felt a strong surge of deathly aura from behind.

It was a pale, towering, rotten corpse, over two meters tall. It spread its arms wide, trying to lock Han Yuan in a death hug.

Han Yuan snarled, whipping his left elbow back in a half-turn.

BANG!

He shattered the towering corpse’s ribs.

But the creature only stumbled back a few steps before charging again.

Han Yuan’s eyes narrowed. With a flash of movement, he unleashed a brilliant arc of light from his saber.

SQUELCH!

The towering corpse raised its right arm to block.

Its entire arm was shattered by the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber.

But the creature used this opportunity to swing its left hand violently at Han Yuan’s head.

"Nice try!"

Han Yuan shouted, clenching his left hand into a fist and punching out fiercely!

BAM!

Fist met palm!

The giant rotten corpse roared as its arm was suddenly blasted apart.

The next instant,

A vicious flash from the saber split the giant rotten corpse in two from head to toe.

After dealing with the giant corpse, Han Yuan spent a little more time finishing off the rest of them.

Old Yan looked at the ground full of mangled corpses, lost in thought. "These bodies... they must be the common folk who have drowned in the Cangjiang River over the years."

"The Resentful Soul, Wu Lian, has been absorbing the death energy and Yin Qi from these drowned people... using it to constantly assault that stone tablet."

"As they say, constant dripping wears away the stone."

"After more than a hundred years, the seal on the stone tablet has naturally loosened."

After hearing this, Han Yuan looked at the stone tablet covered in Array Patterns and said in a low voice, "So, should we reinforce the seal now?"

"I’ll give it a try," Old Yan said, though he wasn’t confident.

"It’s too late."

"This stone tablet may look solid... but it’s actually riddled with cracks."

"Even if we could reinforce it, the tablet itself wouldn’t hold."

Zhang Cang said, shaking his head as he looked at the stone tablet.

"No way..."

Old Yan stared at the stone tablet, his brow furrowed.

CRACKLE~~~

In the next breath, dense cracks rapidly spread across the stone tablet.

An extremely vicious and hateful aura suddenly filled the grotto.

This hateful aura was so intense that even Han Yuan’s expression changed slightly.

He had seen his fair share of Evil Spirits.

But the resentful energy of those Evil Spirits was nothing compared to what was coming from this stone tablet.

"Then we have no choice but to fight!"

"While it has just escaped the seal and hasn’t recovered its full strength, we still have a chance."

Han Yuan took a deep breath.

When he decided to descend into the Cangjiang River, he had already prepared himself for a great battle.

"Alright."

"Director Han, I will assist you."

Old Yan knew there was no path of retreat now.

Zhang Cang said nothing, his eyes fixed on the stone tablet.

BOOM!!

The stone tablet violently exploded.

"Hee hee hee~~"

"I didn’t expect that after more than a hundred years, someone would still be thinking of me."

A woman in a red dress with a deathly pale face appeared before Han Yuan’s eyes.

The woman had long, disheveled black hair, but her lips were an unnatural, vivid red, as if painted with blood.

Her body was slightly hunched, and she looked at the three of them with an eerie smile.

Finally, her gaze fell upon Zhang Cang.

"DAMN YOU!!!"

"I’M GOING TO EAT YOU!!!!"

"I’M GOING TO DRAIN YOU OF ALL YOUR BLOOD!!!!"

Wu Lian’s face twisted instantly, as if she had lost all reason. She transformed into a red shadow and shot forward!

The next moment,

Wu Lian appeared before Zhang Cang, her hand a claw with sharp, blood-red nails, striking like lightning for his face.

BAM!

A powerful figure, like a speeding truck, slammed hard into Wu Lian!

She was instantly sent flying like a red rag doll, crashing heavily into the grotto wall.

RUMBLE!!!

The grotto shook violently.

"Your opponent... is me."

Han Yuan said with a smile, holding the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber in one hand as he looked at Wu Lian.

"Then I’ll eat you first!"

Having been suppressed under the stone tablet for over a hundred years, the rage in Wu Lian’s heart was unimaginable!

SWISH!

Her red dress billowed, and in the next instant, she vanished from her spot.

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH~~

Countless strange, scarlet flashes of blood-red light suddenly appeared, stabbing madly at Han Yuan.

These were the afterimages formed by Wu Lian’s hands, her movements simply too fast to see!

Han Yuan roared, swinging his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber to rapidly clash with those scarlet flashes.

CLANG CLANG CLANG~~~

A series of collisions.

Han Yuan felt immense force being transmitted through his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber with each blow.

’Although this Wu Lian just escaped her seal, her strength is terrifying and her explosive power is astonishing. Just as expected of a Blood Soul Evil.’

Naturally, Han Yuan wouldn’t allow Wu Lian to press her advantage. A terrifying power erupted from his arms, driving the Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber.

BOOM!

A clap of thunder exploded.

The Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber, thick with Evil Qi, viciously chopped down at Wu Lian!

The strike was as swift as lightning, but it only hit a red afterimage.

’She dodged!’

SWISH!

Wu Lian appeared above Han Yuan, extending two fingers. Her nails, long and scarlet, jabbed gruesomely toward Han Yuan’s eyes.

Han Yuan tilted his head to dodge, but the next moment, a searing pain erupted in his chest!

SCREECH~~

The sound of nails scraping forcefully on metal.

It was Wu Lian’s other bloody hand, clawing at Han Yuan’s chest!
