I Grind to Martial Saint

Chapter 200: A Head for Sale

"Fang Tai is my older brother."

"We don’t need my brother to deal with a nobody like you!"

Han Yuan didn’t bother to hide his voice, so Fang Xingwen heard him loud and clear from down below.

He immediately flew into a rage and bellowed.

Hearing this, Han Yuan pointed at Fang Xingwen and asked Song Guang beside him, "Assistant General Song, what do you think of this man?"

Hearing this, Song Guang stared at Fang Xingwen for a long moment before saying gravely, "His physique is powerful and his aura is ferocious. He is indeed a fierce general."

But Han Yuan shook his head and laughed heartily. "To me, he’s just a dead man walking!"

With that, he leaped from the city wall like a great bird.

The insult completely shattered Fang Xingwen’s composure. He watched Han Yuan leap from the wall and roared.

"You nobody, die!!!"

With that, he spurred his horse and charged toward Han Yuan.

At this moment, Fang Xingwen’s heart was already consumed by rage.

Besides, he hadn’t killed anyone in days, and his desire to slaughter had grown to an extreme!

’I have to smash this man’s head to a pulp!!!’

RUMBLE!

Fang Xingwen charged forward, a lone rider on a lone horse, yet the ground itself began to tremble.

This was because his mount was a colossal horse clad in jet-black iron armor, and its gallop was thunderous.

Fang Xingwen gripped a pitch-black iron staff with both hands. Leveraging the force of his mount’s charge, he brought it crashing down on Han Yuan’s head in a devastating strike!

For this strike, Fang Xingwen used every ounce of his Qi Power.

The iron staff surged forward, violently displacing the air with immense power.

Facing such a ferocious blow, Han Yuan took a deep breath. His muscles and sinews expanded as he clenched his right fist and punched forward with vicious force!

Mountain-Breaking Fist!

This was only a Third-Class Martial Art.

But in Han Yuan’s hands, it unleashed incomparable power.

His fist, wreathed in black mist, shot out like a great, dark hammer.

The instant his fist collided with the thick, black iron staff...

BOOM!

The staff was sent flying by Han Yuan’s punch.

Fang Xingwen let out a pained shriek and fell from the back of his armored steed.

In mid-air, a savage gleam of a saber fell like a bolt of white silk!

PSHHHT!

Before Fang Xingwen even hit the ground, his head had parted ways with his body.

THUD~~

His head rolled a few times on the ground before coming to a stop at Han Yuan’s feet.

For a moment, the entire battlefield fell deathly silent.

Han Yuan picked up Fang Xingwen’s head and said nonchalantly, "I told you you were a dead man walking, but you didn’t believe me. I suppose you believe me now."

"Remember to be a little smarter in your next life."

Suddenly, something strange happened.

Fang Xingwen’s severed head actually opened its mouth, trying to bite Han Yuan’s neck.

Han Yuan violently slammed Fang Xingwen’s head into the ground.

SMASH~

There happened to be a protruding rock on the ground.

Like smashing a watermelon.

Fang Xingwen’s head suddenly burst into pieces.

This time, it finally stopped moving.

But Han Yuan sensed an extremely bizarre aura.

’This aura...’

Han Yuan was lost in thought.

At that moment.

The city gates opened.

Song Guang led the Jianghe Province Soldiers in a charge against the Iron Cavalry!

Han Yuan stopped thinking, his figure flashed, and he rushed forward.

"Retreat!!!"

The leading Wangling Sect Priest saw this and was horrified.

He knew he had to get this information out alive.

Soon, the five hundred Iron Cavalry turned to flee.

But the time it took them to turn was more than enough for Han Yuan to close in.

He was seen swinging his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber, slaughtering everything in his path!

Body after body fell from horseback.

With Fang Xingwen dead and no commander to lead them, the Iron Cavalry only thought of escape.

For a moment, their formation fell into chaos.

Song Guang also arrived with his men at this time, cutting down the Iron Cavalry.

"Watch it! Don’t hurt the horses! Just stab the men!!!"

Song Guang shouted until his voice was nearly hoarse.

In his eyes, the black horses the Iron Cavalry rode were treasures.

Han Yuan, on the other hand, was the very picture of ruthless slaughter.

In just over a dozen breaths, only a dozen or so riders managed to escape. The rest all died there.

"Director Han, should we give chase?"

Song Guang asked anxiously.

"No... I let them go on purpose."

"Otherwise, how would Fang Tai come?"

Han Yuan smiled faintly.

"I understand," Song Guang said, enlightened.

Han Yuan said calmly, "Fang Tai has no cavalry. It should take him a few more days to get here."

"Use this time to quickly gather the rest of the scattered Jianghe Province Soldiers."

Song Guang quickly replied, "Director Han, they’re already on their way. They should start arriving over the next two days."

He had been contacting them for days.

"Mm... five or six thousand men should be enough," Han Yuan nodded.

"That should be about right."

Song Guang said softly.

With all the commotion they were making in northern Tongming County, many scattered Jianghe Province Soldiers were converging on their position. Five or six thousand was definitely not a problem.

After that came the cleaning of the battlefield.

Song Guang, especially, didn’t let a single warhorse go to waste, gathering them all up.

Han Yuan, meanwhile, had found Fang Xingwen’s corpse.

Fang Xingwen’s body was now in an extremely bizarre state.

His skin was blackened, and the blood that had spilled was highly toxic.

Any flora it touched would wither and rot. Where it splattered on the ground, it formed strange black patches.

’This guy... wasn’t human anymore.’

Han Yuan used his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber to slice open Fang Xingwen’s stomach, only to find his innards were completely empty. There was nothing inside.

At this moment.

He recalled the intelligence report on Fang Tai.

The man was originally just a miner who, after some unknown fortuitous encounter, had his Qi Power skyrocket to the point where he could even contend with a Gang Essence Martial Artist.

’Looking at it now... this so-called fortuitous encounter was probably something unclean.’

"AHHH!!!"

A sudden scream rang out.

Han Yuan turned to look.

He saw Fang Xingwen’s giant armored horse rampaging, violently sending a soldier flying.

A dozen or so large, strong soldiers couldn’t restrain it no matter how they pulled.

Seeing this, Han Yuan’s figure flashed, and he struck out with a fierce palm strike.

BANG~~

The armored horse’s head exploded, and its massive body collapsed to the ground.

Han Yuan swung his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber, once again slicing open the armored horse’s belly.

It too was empty inside.

And the blood that spilled was also highly corrosive.

"Interesting."

Han Yuan smiled. He called over some soldiers to drag away the armored horse and Fang Xingwen’s body for incineration.

.......

「Inside a tent at the Iron Blade Army encampment.」

"What!!!"

"My brother is dead?!"

Hearing the news, Fang Tai slammed his large hand down!

BOOM!!

The desk before him exploded into splinters.

"General Fang... Commander Fang was beheaded by a Blade Master."

"I would never dare to lie to you."

The Wangling Sect Priest who had come to deliver the news said with a trembling voice.

"Who was that Blade Master?!"

Fang Tai calmed down slightly.

He and Fang Xingwen had gone through life and death together since they were children, and their bond was deep.

’Now that Fang Xingwen has been beheaded, I will absolutely not let the murderer get away!’

"I don’t know..."

"But with all the chaos in Tongming County right now, it’s possible this person is the one behind it all."

The Wangling Sect Priest analyzed.
