I Grind to Martial Saint

The Steward was stunned.

He had expected the man to be so terrified his legs would give out, that he would let out a shriek.

How could he still speak with such righteous confidence?

Was the man a fool? Could he not see how bizarre the situation he was facing was?

"You dare ignore me."

"Now I'm angry!"

Han Yuan spoke with grave seriousness, then unleashed a Giant Spirit Monument-Opening Hand.

The Steward's face suddenly split open in a horrifying display. Countless slivers of bloody light danced like the pistils of a flower, surrounding a terrifying maw in the center.

It was filled with densely packed teeth, like a meat grinder, and looked ready to devour Han Yuan's entire arm.

But he had sorely underestimated Han Yuan's explosive power.

Han Yuan's current Qi Power, even casually unleashed, amounted to tens of thousands of pounds of force.

As his palm descended, the Steward's maw was instantly obliterated.

His entire neck and spine were shattered, and he exploded in a shower of gore.

'This guy… looks like he hasn't been contaminated for long…'

Han Yuan muttered to himself as he stared at the Steward's corpse.

Ever since arriving at Mountain Moon Manor, he had felt something was off about the people here.

But at the time, he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

That was why he'd decided to come out and investigate at night.

And now, he was sure.

An Evil Demon Seed was present in Mountain Moon Manor.

Han Yuan gazed at the horrifying scene before him, which resembled a ghostly banquet.

Without a moment's hesitation, he strode forward to investigate.

As he drew closer, he saw that the figures seated at the tables were the guests who had come for the birthday feast earlier that day.

'Strange… how did these people fall into the trap right under my nose?'

Han Yuan's expression was puzzled.

Of course, an Evil Demon Seed's methods of killing were strange and varied, so it was perfectly normal for Han Yuan not to have noticed anything amiss.

The guests sat bolt upright at the tables, their expressions vacant and muscles rigid. They were frozen in place, not even breathing.

An ordinary person walking in on this scene would likely be scared to death.

But Han Yuan had lost count of how many times he had dealt with Evil Spirits and Evil Demon Seeds.

To him, no scene was too horrifying or gruesome to faze him.

Soon, he spotted Cheng Xiang, the man he had sparred with earlier that day.

He too had fallen victim. He sat at a table, his expression vacant, devoid of any sign of life.

Han Yuan walked over to Cheng Xiang and examined him closely.

Finally, he noticed something.

After a moment of thought, Han Yuan drew his Dragon Sparrow Cloud-Splitting Saber and sliced open Cheng Xiang's chest.

His heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were gone.

In place of his heart and blood vessels, a cluster of bizarre vines had appeared.

'So these things hollowed out Cheng Xiang's body…'

Han Yuan mused.

The vines inside Cheng Xiang's body suddenly shot out, aiming for Han Yuan's eyes.

Han Yuan casually threw a palm strike. The Palm Force, formed from his Great Demon Gang Essence, was terrifyingly potent, instantly obliterating the vines into dust.

This led Han Yuan to a strange discovery.

The vines appeared to have grown and spread from within Cheng Xiang's body.

Han Yuan quickly figured out the cause.

'It must have been the food and drink at the feast.'

'No wonder the banquet was held at night. It wasn't just to keep people at the manor, but to make sure they ate one more meal.'

'And just like that, nearly everyone was caught in the trap.'

Han Yuan instantly understood.

He was unharmed purely because of his personal habits.

He hadn't consumed any of the food or drink, either at noon or in the evening.

And the mastermind behind all this…

…naturally pointed to one person.

Situ Cang.

The Manor Master of Mountain Moon Manor.

This centennial birthday feast had been arranged by him and him alone.

Han Yuan glanced back at his original table. He saw that, aside from his own empty seat, all the Martial World Wanderers who had come to freeload were there.

They probably never imagined that their attempt to get a free meal would cost them their lives.

"Don't you see that empty seat?"

"Why don't you take it?"

A sinister voice suddenly rang out.

Han Yuan turned around.

He saw a man who looked to be in his thirties, with handsome features and a vibrant air, staring at him.

Curiosity flickered in Han Yuan's eyes.

The man looked to be in his thirties, yet his eyes held the world-weary somberness of a centenarian.

Furthermore, the man wore a red robe and was sitting in the very seat that Situ Cang had occupied before.

Seeing this, Han Yuan smiled. "Situ Manor Master, I didn't realize you had become so young."

Hearing this, a look of delight spread across Situ Cang's face. He said excitedly, "It's been so long since I've felt this young."

"That deathly, stagnant feeling was just too detestable!"

"Now, I'm finally free of that decrepit old body!!!"

Situ Cang grew more agitated as he spoke.

"Is that so…"

"So that's why you allowed yourself to be contaminated by an Evil Demon Seed."

Han Yuan said coolly.

"Contamination… No, it's not contamination!"

"It was a chance at rebirth! An incredibly important one for me."

"You just don't understand."

Situ Cang said, shaking his head.

"It seems you've truly gone mad."

Han Yuan scoffed.

"You're the mad one!"

"I'm going to drink your blood, and I'll become even younger!"

"Kill him for me!"

Situ Cang pointed at Han Yuan, his voice trembling with excitement.

The next moment, the dozen or so True Qi masters at his table leaped up. With bizarre smiles on their faces, they charged at Han Yuan.

'Poor bastards.'

'To be controlled by your enemy even after death.'

Han Yuan cracked his neck, sank into a low stance, and shot forward like a phantom.

He unleashed a dense and ferocious flurry of punches!

Celestial Spirit·Gale!

The Fist Aura, forged from Great Demon Gang Essence, erupted into a sky-filling black gale of immense ferocity.
